Actually, when she was drugged in the dead-end alley, she was also afraid. She was afraid that her family would worry, that she would never see her family again, and that the warmth she had been fortunate enough to gain through two lifetimes would disappear again.

Seeing that the two were crying louder, Su Dahu turned around, wiped his eyes, and pointed to the stove next to him, "Mother, the noodles you rolled out for Hua'er last night are almost burnt."

"Yes." Madam Su quickly let go of Su Hua and pulled her to the stove. "Hua'er, are you hungry? This hand-pulled noodle has your favorite preserved rabbit topping inside. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

I also steamed some millet porridge and brown sugar steamed buns. Have some first, and when we get home, Mom will make you your favorite dishes.

Su Sanhu led the three little children to lift the lids of the steamers one by one, so that she could choose carefully.

The two little ones on the ground were wagging their tails frantically and rubbing against Su Hua's feet.

Ah Zheng looked at the girl surrounded by her family, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes. No wonder she had been talking about going home all night.

Hundreds of miles away, in Qingshui County, at the Qin residence.

Qiu Shuang carried a set of exquisite breakfast items into Ting Nuan Pavilion. "Miss, the main kitchen happens to have your favorite white fungus and lily soup and silver thread rolls today. Please try them while they're hot."

Wei Jianjia glanced at it and waved her hand, her face a little pale. "You can leave it for now. My left eyelid has been twitching since I woke up today, and I have no appetite."

In fact, not only this morning, but also last night, she did not sleep well. She kept having nightmares. In the middle of the night, she dreamed that Su Hua was raped and killed in a bandit's den and turned into an evil ghost to come and take her life. She was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.

After that, I couldn't fall asleep no matter what I tried; every time I closed my eyes, all I saw was Su Hua's bloody corpse.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Shuang put down her bowl and plate, a smile appearing on her lips. "Miss, there's no need to worry. When I went to the main kitchen to get breakfast just now, I heard from the servants that Young Master Biao and Ah Cai hadn't been seen since early this morning."

The servants who went to Su's spicy hot pot stall every day to buy food also came up empty-handed.

The Su family must have gone to seek help from the young master.

Wei Jianjia's brows relaxed slightly. "Is that really true?"

“Absolutely true.” Qiu Shuang nodded, her voice very low. “No matter how powerful the Qin family is in Qingshui County, it’s not easy to find someone like this.”

Bandits are naturally dissolute. Su Hua, a delicate young girl, was in their hands. In just one night, everything that should have happened and shouldn't have happened had already happened.

If you're worried about her ghost haunting you, wait until this matter is completely over, then have a shaman burn more paper money for her."
