Chu Xiaoxiao was thrown into a book, reincarnating as a cannon fodder meant to be drowned shortly after birth. Outraged, she saved herself and vowed to change her family’s doomed fate.
..."The abbot is so kind. You can't give such a precious thing to a baby. She can't afford it!"
[Take it away, take it away. I don’t know how many stinky monks have taken this thing. I don’t want it.]
"The old lady is a blessed person. This poor monk and this baby are destined to be together."
Mrs. Yang was at a loss. Her daughter didn't like it, but the abbot insisted on giving it to her. What should she do?
The old lady took the Buddhist beads from Chu Xiaoxiao's arms and returned them to Wuyan: "The child is young and can't hold such a good thing. Please take it back, Abbot."
Wuyan was stunned for a moment, said nothing, and finally put away the Buddhist beads.
He looked at Chu Xiaoxiao, his amiable smile deepened, and he reached out to tease her: "Naughty girl."
[Humph! You are the naughty one. I will ignore you. You should ignore me in the future. Let's keep our distance and live in peace.]
As soon as Wuyan left, the old lady hurriedly took Yang to fulfill her wish. She had to go and save her granddaughter-in-law later, so time was running out and they had to race against time.
After worshipping the Bodhisattva, the group hurried to the back mountain. Yang originally wanted the old lady to rest in the Zen room, but she didn't want to, as she wanted to stay with her granddaughter.
Sitting in the Zen room waiting for news is boring, but following my granddaughter, I can hear some interesting things. When she was young, she rode a horse to kill the enemy, experienced hundreds of battles, and climbing a mountain is no problem at all.
[Brother! Hurry up, hurry up, Su Qinghui has already brought the person over.]
The old lady from the back mountain of Baiyan Temple came and led people to a small path: "Old lady, daughter-in-law! Yifei! It's faster to go up from here."
She and the old Duke had been to that cliff when they were young, and the path was known at that time. Later, as more and more people walked on it, it became a road.
Seeing them rushing up the mountain, someone asked Yang curiously, "Madam, where are you going? Is there anything interesting to see on the mountain?"
Yang's mind turned, and she smiled and told the person who asked the question: "There is a cliff in the back mountain. I heard that the scenery is very beautiful. There are people playing the flute in the wind there. This kind of scene is rare in a lifetime. I must go up and see it."
"Really? Oh! Thank you ma'am for telling me. I must go up and appreciate it." The person who asked the question walked faster than Yang, and did not forget to publicize it before leaving.
Now more people knew about it, and they all went to the back mountain.
[Ahaha! Mother is so smart! If Su Qinghui knew, she would be so angry that she would die.]
Chu Yifei looked at his sister in his arms, and the expression on his face eased a lot. It didn't matter whether Su Qinghui was angry to death or not. He was more worried about whether something would happen to the little girl.
The old lady and Yang went up along the path and arrived in time. They saw two women walking towards the cliff from afar.
The people who followed behind also saw it. They thought that the two women were the ones who wanted Ling Feng to play the flute, so they walked lightly and did not dare to disturb them.
They were afraid that the little girl was too thin-skinned and wouldn't dare to blow the trumpet because she knew people were watching. Wouldn't it be a waste of their effort to come up here?
In order not to scare the two women, they each chose the best location to hide.
Seeing that everyone was so sensible, the old lady and Yang followed their example and found a tree for cover.
"Yifei! Give your sister to mother. You are a man, and it is not suitable for you to squeeze in with us girls. Find another place."
Chu Yifei naturally understood the hidden meaning in Yang's words. He handed Chu Xiaoxiao to her mother and then found a secluded place not far from the cliff.
It is necessary to ensure that the little girl falls off the cliff as soon as possible so that he can fly over and rescue her in time.
Su Qinghui didn't know that her whereabouts had been exposed. She was trying hard to trick Su Qingran into coming here to enjoy the scenery.
He knew that she had bad intentions towards him, but Su Qingran had never been to Baiyan Temple and didn't know there was a cliff on the back mountain.
Su Qinghui said that she was feeling depressed and asked her to accompany her to burn incense and enjoy the scenery. She had no right to refuse and followed her reluctantly.
If she doesn't come, her stepmother won't let her go.
Ever since the quarrel between his elder sister and Lin Hong, Lin Hong rarely came to the general's mansion. Every time, he would come only when his elder sister urged him to come, and he would leave after sitting for a while, as if he didn't care about Su Qinghui at all.
The stepmother was very unhappy and sent people to the Lin Mansion to test the waters. Mrs. Lin refused on the grounds that Lin Hong was still a bachelor, saying that he was preparing for the provincial examination and had no plans to get married recently.
Getting married would distract him from studying for the exam.
Taking the imperial examination is a big deal, and the stepmother can’t say anything.
Should he not take the exam? Marry his eldest sister first?
If she dared to say that, Mrs. Lin would dare to kick her out. It was a big deal for a man to pass the imperial examination, it brought honor to the family, so why would he be so busy getting married?
As soon as there was a delay, the eldest sister couldn't sit still, as if she was pregnant and was afraid that she couldn't hide it when the month got older.
She was in a bad mood, so she was asked to go out with him to relax. She couldn't refuse, so she came along.
Su Qinghui conspired with General Weiwu's wife to beat Su Qingran half to death. Perhaps this was the only way to trick General Su back.
Chu Xiaoxiao was held in Yang's arms, staring at the Su sisters walking towards the cliff in front of her.
[Ah! Su Qinghui put so much effort into this, but it was Big Brother and Big Sister who made it happen. Come on, Big Brother! You must win the beauty.]
Yang also hopes so.
I don't know how Su Qinghui could be so cruel? My concubine's sister is also a human being, how could she push someone off a cliff? Aren't you afraid that my concubine's sister will die?
The Rongguo Mansion also has a concubine's daughter. She believes that she has never harmed her concubine's sister. Their relationship is average, not that close, but it has not reached the point of life and death.
Su Qinghui brought Su Qingran to the edge of the cliff. Looking at the scenery on the opposite mountain, she suddenly asked Su Qingran, "Do you think I will die if I jump from here?"
"It's hard to say." Su Qingran looked at the thorn bushes below the cliff, "Maybe he will die, maybe not."
Su Qingran was afraid that Su Qinghui would do something to her, so she retreated after reading it. She couldn't die here as she hadn't waited for her elder brother to come and propose marriage.
The Duke of Huguo's Mansion has never visited her, and they must be aware of her situation. If her stepmother knew that her marriage was better than her elder sister's, she might try every means to kill her.
"Mr. Lin has abandoned me and has been reluctant to propose marriage. What do you think I should do?"
Su Qinghui looked as if she had lost all hope in life and was about to die. Su Qingran didn't dare to say anything and just stood aside in silence.
What can she do if Lin Hong doesn't come to propose marriage? It's useless to ask her, she is not Lin Hong.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Su Qinghui turned around and looked at her face: "Tell me, if father comes back, will Lin Hong still dare to act arrogantly with me?"
Su Qingran looked up at the sky and sneered: "Father? Are you counting on him?"
Su Qinghui came over and asked with interest: "Why? Do you think you can't rely on me?"
"No, maybe my elder sister can be counted on."
"What about you? Did you expect it?"
Su Qingran shook her head: "I don't count on him."
"Who do you count on, then?"
"I count on myself."
"Really?" Su Qinghui suddenly smiled happily, "But I want to count on you?"
"What?"
Before Su Qingran could finish her words, Su Qinghui suddenly grabbed her and pushed her hard to the edge of the cliff. She was caught off guard, took a few steps back and fell down.
"ah......"
There were screams.
