Chapter 210 Heading Southwest
The sudden turn of events made Yun Jinglan think she would faint from fright, but the shout from "Chirp Chirp" made her stand up again.
Mrs. Tang glanced at the couple and said, "You two are really mentally strong."
She has yet to find a solution to the Soul-Devouring Gu, and only hopes that they can remain this powerful forever.
Su Junyao tightened his grip on Yun Jinglan's shoulder and gave her a reassuring look. Since her aunt had been researching the Soul-Devouring Gu for so long, she must know some clues. Qiuqiu is lucky and will definitely be alright.
"Junyao begs for your advice, Auntie. Is there any way to resolve this?"
Madam Tang sighed deeply, "The Southwest Gu King is still alive, so we might as well ask him to see if he has any solutions. I just don't know if she can hold on."
Chiu Chiu looked bewildered, stretched out her hand and swiped twice, "Me?"
She feels pretty strong now!
Su Junyao: "I'll take Qiuqiu to the Southwest right now!"
"wait!"
Chirp waved her little hand and bravely refused, "I disagree!"
My mountain of gifts! I won't leave, I can't leave!
She vows to live and die with her precious gift today!
Yun Jinglan knew that Qiuqiu was greedy, but she didn't expect her to be this greedy! She pointed at the stubborn Qiuqiu with utter helplessness: "Why aren't you afraid of death at all!"
Chiu Chiu didn't want this either, but she really had no choice. She didn't have any of the symptoms her great-aunt had mentioned. She had indeed felt extremely tired a few days ago, but now she felt like she had borrowed another five hundred years from heaven!
Mrs. Tang was stunned: "You don't mean you want to continue with this first birthday celebration, do you? You're already dead, why do you care about these things?"
Yun Jinglan explained, "It's because Qiuqiu doesn't want to."
"Damn it! What kind of time is this to be worrying about material possessions? If you're going to make an excuse, at least make a better one. What does a little kid like her know!"
The old man frowned, waved his hand, and stormed off, saying, "I can't control you, just don't regret it."
Chiu-Chiu grabbed one of her father's fingers and urged, "Let's go."
[Hurry up and do the baby's first birthday celebration! Grab what you need to save my life!]
Chiu Chiu had a very busy schedule, receiving gifts on one side and seeking help on the other, trying not to miss either.
Su Junyao instructed Chen He to arrange the carriages and travel permits for the trip to the southwest. Meanwhile, the rest of the Su family, somehow aware of Qiuqiu's curse, anxiously gathered around her.
Unaware of the situation, the guests exclaimed that the siblings had a very good relationship.
Chiu Chiu's face was filled with sorrow, which almost made Su Xiucheng, who was prone to tears, burst into tears.
When will the baby be chosen for the first birthday celebration?
Su Junyao said decisively: "Arrest them! Arrest them now!"
Look how anxious the kids are!
Today, Qiuqiu's first birthday banquet is destined to be ruined by the Soul-Eating Gu. Before everyone could exchange pleasantries, the guests turned around and saw that today's protagonist had already been placed in the place for the first birthday celebration.
"Judging from that setup, has it started?"
"Probably not, the auspicious time hasn't arrived yet. But judging from the scale, I can only say it truly lives up to the reputation of Marquis Wenyang!"
"Come on, let's go up and take a closer look."
Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that Qiuqiu was indeed undergoing her first birthday celebration. They secretly thought to themselves that the Wenyang Marquis family was unconventional. They usually had to calculate auspicious times for everything; this was the first time they'd ever seen anything so contrary to tradition.
However, they only grumbled inwardly; no one was stupid enough to say it out loud.
Chiu Chiu looked tiny in front of the mountain of gifts. Looking at the dazzling array of rare items, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Slurp!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she walked around the mountain of gifts, found a spot where it wouldn't hurt her stomach, and climbed down, trying to cover all the gifts with her body.
The traditional first birthday celebration didn't involve picking something with your hands!
Two restless little feet kept reaching for the scattered gold ornaments towards themselves.
Some people wondered, "What exactly did they arrest?"
"I don't know what it caught, but it looks more like a Pixiu."
They only take in money and never give it up, and they're greedy for wealth—the Su family says that's a really apt description!
Chiu Chiu: Nonsense, I'm clearly a lucky koi!
Su Junyao announced the end of the grand first birthday banquet in a very perfunctory manner: "Thank you all for attending my daughter's first birthday banquet. My daughter was naughty and insisted on doing the 'grasping ceremony' (a traditional Chinese custom where a child chooses objects to represent their first birthday). Please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality. Please make yourselves at home."
Su Junyao didn't want to delay, so after saying that he left Yun Jinglan to clean up the mess, picked up Qiuqiu and left first.
As the father and daughter left, different voices arose in the crowd, as people privately discussed the day's events.
Yun Jinglan was only concerned about Qiuqiu's safety; whether the Wenyang Marquis's residence would become a laughing stock in the capital tomorrow was no longer her concern.
Su Yunyi: "Mother, will Qiuqiu be alright?"
Yun Jinglan stared into the distance, her gaze vacant, unsure whether she was comforting her son or herself. "It will be alright, everything will be alright."
Su Jinze, being cautious, sent a servant to the East Palace to relay a message, and then rode out the back gate to chase after them.
Chen He's carriage, which was parked at the back gate, went ahead, and Su Jinze couldn't catch up.
"So urgent?"
Grandmother said that something had happened to Qiuqiu and they should persuade her parents not to be so obsessed with fame and to take Qiuqiu to the southwest for medical treatment as soon as possible. However, they only had a vague idea of what had happened to Qiuqiu.
The only option now is to head southwest and find out what's going on!
"Hey, Su Jinze!" Yun Shuyue caught up on her chestnut pony. "Hey, where are you in such a hurry to go?"
Su Jinze turned around in confusion and saw that she was carrying a backpack. "Where are you going?"
I didn't see her at her first birthday party today!
"Are you running away from home?"
Yun Shuyue glared at him, "What nonsense are you spouting! Why would I run away from home for no reason? This heroine is going to roam the martial world!"
Actually, her mother was introducing her to eight blind dates a day, and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she decided to run away.
Today is Qiuqiu's birthday banquet, and everyone from the General's Mansion has gone to the banquet. It's the perfect opportunity to escape!
By the way, today is Qiuqiu's first birthday party. What's he, as the eldest brother, doing here?
"What are you doing here? Did you move Chiu Chiu's first birthday party to a different location?"
Su Jinze's gaze lingered on the bundle on Yun Shuyue's body. Since she had run away from home, she must have taken money with her...
"Chirp chirp is in trouble! They've already gone to the southwest ahead of us. I need to catch up with them. Please help me!"
Yun Shuyue automatically pictured the adorable, soft-spoken Qiuqiu in her mind. She already felt incredibly guilty for not being able to attend her first birthday party, and now, upon hearing that Qiuqiu was in trouble, she was even more anxious.
"What's the matter?"
She would brave any danger, even going through fire and water!
Su Jinze: "Lend me some money?"
Yun Shuyue: "Besides money!"
"That's all."
Yun Shuyue's eyes darted around, she tightened the reins and turned the horse around, "Giddy up!"
Su Jinze watched as the chestnut pony flew away like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, she was almost out of the city gate. "Yun Shuyue, where are you going?"
Yun Shuyue didn't even turn her head, just waved her hand, "I'm going to the southwest to find Qiuqiu!"
"Su Jinze, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of your sister!"
The last sentence was blown away by the wind, and Su Jinze didn't hear it.
He spurred his horse and chased after it.
What's going on every day? She's already busy enough, and Yun Shuyue is just adding to the chaos.
She's not even interested in finding a pesky chick; does she even know how chaotic the Southwest is right now?!
"Yun Shuyue, get back here right now!"
