Sister Han is good at farming

Chapter 217 People’s hearts are unpredictable

"If I can't even protect my own salvation, how can I care about the salvation of others! Get out of my way!"

"There are many ways to save your father. Why did you choose such a reckless and impulsive method?"

Wu Shang tilted his head, took a deep breath, and looked at her again.

"I'm trapped in this small county. How can I find out the specific situation if I don't go out? Am I going to sit here and wait for everyone to give me all kinds of specious and irrelevant information?"

"You can't stop trusting everyone just because you were deceived once. Can you break through the layers of interception by those imperial masters by rushing out alone? Even if you break through their interception, can you deal with the pursuit and interception of spies from various countries? You are a good fighter, but can you defeat tens of thousands of people?"

Ruan Qingqing was brought back to her senses by Wushang's questioning, and she sat down on the stool in a daze.

Yes, it would be very difficult for her to save her father or even leave Qingshui County by herself. But what kind of power could she rely on?

The more Ruan Qingqing thought about it, the more confused she became. She knew that it would be useless to continue like this, and she had to calm down!

After a few handfuls of cool well water splashed on her face, her inner anxiety and uneasiness gradually subsided.

After drying her face, she sat in the room again, took out paper and homemade charcoal pencils, and began to write.

She sat there for the entire afternoon.

Wu Shang also walked back and forth in front of her door for an entire afternoon. During this time, he raised his hand several times, wanting to knock on the door to ask if the person inside was okay, but in the end he gave up again and again. There had never been a day that made him feel so difficult.

In the evening, Wang saw that Ruan Qingqing was late for dinner. She asked the twins to call her but to no avail, so she decided to go and call her herself.

The oil lamp in Ruan Qingqing's room had been lit, and the shadow of a man buried in a book on the window swayed with the flickering flame of the oil lamp.

Wang knocked on the window gently, "Daya, go eat! If you have anything to do, wait until after dinner!"

"Mom, you guys eat first, I'll be ready in a while." Ruan Qingqing's subordinates kept saying.

"Go eat first! The food will get cold later." Wang insisted.

"Mom, I'll be right there! You guys eat first, it's okay!"

When Wang heard the sound of changing paper, she was silent for a while.

"Daya, tell me honestly, have you encountered any difficulties recently?"

"Yes, there is something. I will tell you later at the dinner table. Mom, you go eat first. I will be back in a moment."

Ruan Qingqing had no intention of hiding it from them.

Only then did Wang leave with a heavy heart.

Ruan Qingqing finished writing the last stroke and sighed softly. She stuffed the letter into the envelope, walked out the door quickly, and shouted to the night sky, "Follow the wind!"

"My subordinate is here!"

"Suifeng, please hand this letter to Lord Fu in person. After that, you don't have to come here again." Ruan Qingqing announced solemnly.

"Miss, did my subordinate do something inconsiderate that annoyed you?" Suifeng suddenly raised his head and looked at her.

"No, you should have sensed it. Recently, many masters from the Imperial Palace have come to Qingshui County. With them here, there is no need for me to keep you here any longer. I know you are Master Fu's capable subordinate, and I am very grateful for your help for so long. You should be placed in a more appropriate position. It is really a waste of time here."

Ruan Qingqing spoke to him heart to heart.

"Okay, I will pass this on to my master."

"Well, be safe on the road!"

Suifeng disappeared into the night in an instant. Ruan Qingqing looked at him for a while, then turned around and prepared to eat.

"Are you okay?" Wushang suddenly appeared beside her.

"It's okay. Wushang, thank you for your reminder in the afternoon!" Ruan Qingqing turned and looked at him, saying sincerely.

Wu Shang avoided her gaze, turned his head to look elsewhere, and said in a vague voice: "You don't have to thank me, and you can trust me with all your heart."

"Well, OK! I won't be polite to you from now on!" Ruan Qingqing agreed cheerfully. "By the way, I need your help with something."

"You said."

"I would like you to help me find out who is the leader of the Imperial Guards in Qingshui County?"

Wu Shang's aura suddenly became stern, "You want to negotiate with the leader of the imperial guards?"

Ruan Qingqing looked into the distance with a gradually deepening gaze, "I need to know their true mission, so that I can judge whether they can be used by me."

"Okay, leave it to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person had disappeared.

Ruan Qingqing stood there for a while, enjoying the night breeze, and went over her plan in her mind again. After making sure it was correct, she walked towards the main room.

"Daya, come and have dinner!" Wang greeted her immediately when she saw her coming.

"Sister, this is the crucian carp soup for you." Ruan Shian placed the freshly prepared milky white fish soup in front of her.

"Sister, this spicy shredded eel is delicious, please try it." Ruan Lanlan picked up a piece of food with chopsticks for her.

When Ruan Shikang and Ruan Susu wanted to pick up some food, Ruan Qingqing refused.

"No, you all eat."

She drank some soup and ate a few mouthfuls of rice. Seeing that everyone was looking at her eagerly, she couldn't help but put down her chopsticks.

After some consideration, she decided to tell the truth.

"Dad is missing in Jiangxia. But don't worry, I'm trying to find out the news. At the moment, his life should not be in danger."

The dinner table suddenly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, and everyone else looked at Ruan Qingqing in disbelief.

With a "pop", the chopsticks in Wang's hand fell.

"How come your father disappeared?"

"I guess it might be spies from other countries. Don't leave Qingshui County in the near future. The spies from other countries in our county have been basically eliminated, and there are experts in charge. As long as you don't leave the county, you don't have to worry about safety issues."

"Don't worry, sister. We won't run around randomly." Ruan Shian immediately assured.

"Don't worry, sister. I won't run around." Ruan Lanlan and the others also made the assurance.

"That's good! I'll find a way to deal with Dad, so you don't have to worry. But you also have to protect yourself. Although you don't have to worry about safety issues in the county, you still have to be vigilant."

Ruan Qingqing gave another reminder out of concern.

After dinner, Ruan Qingqing turned around and went to the old house to explain the situation to Ruan Wanjin and his wife.

Old Master Ruan listened from the side with his eyebrows twitching wildly, "You said you can't leave Qingshui County now?"

"Yes! If I hadn't come here today, I wouldn't have known about this. I heard that this order was issued after the early rice was harvested. And it was an order directed at me." Ruan Qingqing looked a little helpless.

If she couldn't leave the county in the past, then she couldn't leave the county, but her father was missing, so she still had to find a way to leave the county.

"Then you'd better not go out. We think the emperor is a good person, and the officials from the county to the prefecture are also good people, and they all have some friendship with you. They should do this for your own good. But in the future, don't take out those good things in your mind too quickly, because you must know that people's hearts are the most difficult to calculate."

After taking a puff of his cigarette, Mr. Ruan frowned and spoke earnestly.
