In order to escape this calamity, Qin Yunyun resorted to feigning madness. Although the Black Wind Chieftain did not actually touch her, he took pity on her and forced her to drink medicine continuously, which caused her great suffering.
Misfortune struck one after another, and Qin Yunyun's good luck vanished without a trace, just like her lucky koi fish mark.
After being forced to drink another bitter medicine, Qin Yunyun's hatred for Su Xiaoning grew like wild grass.
It's all Su Xiaoning's fault! Su Xiaoning stole the lucky koi mark that belonged to her, changed her luck, and brought her to this state. If she ever gets the chance, she'll definitely take the lucky koi mark back from Su Xiaoning!
Qin Yunyun swept all the medicine bowls off the table and onto the floor like a madwoman, her mind filled with all sorts of wicked thoughts.
...
On the other side, in Carp Village.
After considering it, Su Qingcai summoned Ding Yi and Bing Er and assigned them tasks.
"The traitor you mentioned earlier can no longer be allowed to live. The longer it goes on, the more trouble will arise. You need to find that traitor now. As far as I know, the Seventh Prince's men have not only waist tags, but also tattoos on their bodies to prove their identity."
Ding Yi and Bing Er nodded in agreement, but finding the traitor proved to be a challenge for them.
“Young master, although we know the physical characteristics of the Seventh Prince’s men, we are usually dressed neatly, so how can we check if they have tattoos?”
Thinking about this problem, Su Qingcai frowned, unable to come up with a good idea for the time being, and the atmosphere in the room became stagnant.
Su Qingcai didn't hide this conversation from Su Xiaoning, so Su Xiaoning sat aside and listened. Seeing that none of them could come up with a good solution, she rolled her eyes and immediately shouted, "I have a solution!"
All three people's eyes fell on Su Xiaoning because of her words. Su Qingcai looked at Su Xiaoning with a probing gaze, but did not speak, waiting for her to continue.
Su Xiaoning stood up and smiled.
“You guys are usually all dressed up, but everyone has to take their clothes off sometimes. Why don’t you all find a chance to shower together and secretly observe who has tattoos?”
Su Xiaoning had a proud look on her face, as if she thought her idea was the best in the world.
Su Qingcai's face immediately darkened. He frowned, his dark eyes piercing.
He inexplicably recalled the time Su Xiaoning caught him taking a shower. At least back then she would blush and change the subject, so why was she bringing up this idea so brazenly now?
"You're a young lady, and you're telling men to shower and then peep at you? What kind of talk is that!"
Su Qingcai's reprimand left Su Xiaoning momentarily stunned. She crossed her arms and stood her ground, "You said earlier that women are not necessarily inferior to men, and I thought you were so progressive. But you say things like this. It's just asking men to take a bath, what's the rush? You're so old-fashioned!"
Su Xiaoning's constant use of the word "pedantic" successfully angered Su Qingcai.
Ding Yi and Bing Er were unaware that Su Xiaoning had previously witnessed Su Qingcai bathing. After thinking about it, they found the idea quite good and chimed in, "Young Master, you know what, this idea is indeed excellent. We think it's feasible! But where can we find an opportunity to bathe together?"
"That's easy!" Seeing someone agree, Su Xiaoning became even more proud. "Didn't I ask you to help the fishermen a while ago? I said I'd like to thank you by inviting you on a trip. I'll be your guide, and you can take a bath in the mountain spring!"
"You still want to help them?" Su Qingcai's face darkened further. He stared intently at Su Xiaoning, a storm brewing in his eyes.
Su Xiaoning had no idea why Su Qingcai was angry. She glanced at Su Qingcai with dissatisfaction, pouted and muttered, "What's wrong with you? Your subordinates have all agreed, and you don't have any better solutions, so why are you unwilling to accept it? This matter is settled, so just leave it alone!"
After saying that, Su Xiaoning walked out without looking back, intending to discuss the matter with the guards. Ding Yi and Bing Er also talked to each other, thinking that the idea was good.
Hearing Ding Yi and Bing Er's high praise for Su Xiaoning, Su Qingcai was furious. He said through gritted teeth, "You two, go train the guards right now. Make them practice martial arts and run laps. Don't eat dinner!"
"Young Master, why are you punishing us for no reason?" Ding Yi and Bing Er were completely bewildered, wondering why Su Qingcai had suddenly become so hostile.
Su Qingcai didn't explain. He snorted and followed Su Xiaoning out of the house, leaving Ding Yi and Bing Er standing there looking at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Even though Su Qingcai was unhappy, the matter was eventually carried out.
Su Qingcai specifically told the guards that the fishermen were grateful for their help during this time, so he gave them a day off, with Su Xiaoning acting as their guide, to take them on a tour of the surrounding mountains and rivers.
The guards were exhausted from the past few days, so when they heard about the opportunity to go on a trip, they couldn't miss it and happily set off with Su Xiaoning.
Su Xiaoning led her guards on a tour of the surrounding mountains and forests, and finally took them to the lakeside.
"The water in this lake is all mountain spring water, the water quality is top-notch. Drinking it can prolong life, and bathing in it can also strengthen your body. It's a rare opportunity, so you should all take a good bath!"
The guards had been working hard for days and hadn't had a proper bath in the village. Seeing that they could relax and take a bath now, they readily agreed and took off their clothes and jumped into the lake after Su Xiaoning left.
Xu Huang had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't show any signs of it. He took off his clothes with the guards, and after going down into the lake, he found a rock and leaned his back against it.
Ding Yi and Bing Er were hiding not far from the guards, secretly observing their bodies.
Many strong, muscular bodies looked over, but they couldn't see what they were looking for.
Just as they were fretting, one of the guards spotted Ding Yi and Bing Er acting suspiciously. He immediately dragged them out and teased them, "We didn't believe the rumors that you two had homosexual tendencies, but now you're peeping at us while we're taking a bath! How are we supposed to take a bath in peace?"
"We are not..."
Ding Yi and Bing Er tried to explain, but they were speechless and the guards laughed at them.
Amidst the chaos in the lake, Xu Huang remained motionless, leaning against the rock behind him, revealing not a trace of his back.
The guards laughed and joked, but Ding Yi and Bing Er were unable to escape. They stared at the mocking gazes and nervously observed each person's body, but after a great deal of effort, they still found nothing.
