About half a day later, they returned. This time, Qiao Qiu didn't go into the kitchen. Instead, she made the medicine into pills outside, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and carried them back.
Mrs. Qiao was waiting for them, and when she saw them return, she quickly took the things from their hands.
Qiao Qiu said, "Mother, you must wash your hands after touching anything in here. It's poisonous; it can kill rats, and if you accidentally eat it, it can kill you. Be very careful when storing it in the warehouse. Tell everyone in the family who might go to the warehouse not to touch it."
Mrs. Qiao also realized the seriousness of the matter and nodded, "Don't worry, I will give the instructions."
"Okay, that's good. Mother, remember, that medicine is very potent. If you take it, you'll definitely die." Qiao Qiu was still worried and gave her another reminder.
"Alright, alright, Mother understands." Mother Qiao carefully carried the poison inside.
Qiao Qiu frowned. This was the first time she had ever kept such a poisonous substance in her home, and she was genuinely a little worried.
Bai Shu stood behind her and asked, "Why did you do that?"
"What?" Qiao Qiu didn't react.
"You know what I mean."
Qiao Qiu came to her senses and realized, "Yes, there really are mice in my house."
Bai Shu laughed, "You're really funny."
"Besides that, can you say anything else?"
What do you want me to say?
"Saying goodbye or something like that would be nice," Qiao Qiu said.
"You really want me to leave?" Bai Shu asked.
"yes."
"What about the fishermen's songs?" Bai Shu saw the jade flute she had inadvertently revealed, which was clearly a fishermen's song.
"If Yuge comes to stay another night, I'll still welcome him." Qiao Qiu avoided the main issue; she absolutely couldn't anger this madman now.
"Just staying one night?" Bai Shu asked.
"Otherwise what? He never asked me to join any of his places. After he arrived, he was very polite and never tried to take advantage of my family. Of course, I welcome such a guest," Qiao Qiu said.
"If I don't let you join, will you treat me as a guest?" Bai Shu asked, a thought crossing his mind.
Qiao Qiu nodded. "My family is hospitable. If you're just here as a guest, of course you're welcome."
"Oh." Bai Shu felt much better after hearing her say that.
"Qiao Qiu".
Just as Qiao Qiu was about to go inside, she suddenly heard someone call her. She turned around and saw Gu Youying.
Gu Youying looked beautiful today, no, that's not right, she looked even more beautiful than yesterday.
Qiao Qiu asked, "What are you doing here?"
Gu Youying curtsied to Bai Shu and greeted him politely before turning to Qiao Qiu. "I've come to see you because I have something to discuss."
Qiao Qiu chuckled and said, "I thought so too. Nobody comes here without a reason. Just tell me what you need."
"Miss, Young Master Bai, dinner is ready." Xiao Hui ran out, saw Gu Youying, and said irritably, "Gu Youying, what are you doing here? You're not welcome here."
"I need to speak with your young lady, is that not allowed?" Gu Youying asked.
Xiao Hui found her foxy appearance disgusting. "Miss, don't mind her, let's go inside."
"No need, you and Young Master Bai go in first. I want to know what she's up to." Qiao Qiu walked out, glanced at Gu Youying, and said, "Didn't you say something? It's not good to say it in front of others. Let's go."
Gu Youying's expression was unpleasant, but she did not refute it, because the truth was indeed as she said.
Seeing the two of them like this, Bai Shu wanted to follow them, but Xiao Hui stopped him, saying, "Young Master Bai, don't go. Whatever Miss says goes. Don't make her angry."
"Is your young lady always this domineering?" Bai Shu asked, amused.
"Yes, that's right. Miss has always been domineering. Young Master Bai, are you interested in our Miss?" Xiao Hui asked, her eyes darting around.
"Hmm, how so?" Bai Shu asked.
“Ever since you came here, your eyes have been glued to Miss. What else could it be but liking her?” Xiao Hui said matter-of-factly.
"You're quite observant, aren't you?" Bai Shu said, somewhat surprised.
Xiao Hui sighed. "If someone likes you, of course they'll observe you carefully. Who knew you liked a prostitute?"
Xiao Hui didn't lament for long before saying, "You definitely like Miss, but if you like her, you'd better go along with her in small matters. She's a very good person, kind and gentle, but she's very stubborn. Once she makes a decision, she won't listen to anyone."
"Stubborn." Bai Shu looked at the thin figure in the field. Wasn't he really stubborn? No matter what he said, he just wouldn't go with him.
Qiao Qiu led Gu Youying a little further away before asking, "Just say what you want to say."
“I saw that young man in white from a few days ago today,” Gu Youying said.
Fishermen's Song!
A glint flashed in Qiao Qiu's eyes. "Oh, really?"
Seeing her so calm, Gu Youying strode up to her and said angrily, "You like this one and that one, but who do you really like? Or are you just a promiscuous woman who likes both of them?"
Qiao Qiu's gaze turned cold. "What business is it of yours which one I like?"
"If you're interested in the young master in white, then give him to me, okay?"
Qiao Qiu looked into her eyes and saw a pleading look in them, as if she had truly fallen for Bai Shu.
"You've been going against me for so long, why should I give in to you?"
"I won't fight you anymore. Let's make up from now on, okay?" Gu Youying pleaded.
"Gu Youying, do you have any shame? You can be cold to me if you want, and you can make up with me if you want. Who do you think you are? And who do you think I am? Who do you think you are? Why do you think you can make up with me just like that? Let me tell you, it's not that easy!" Qiao Qiu was really angry at her shameless words.
"You!" Gu Youying's eyes twisted for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. She pleaded, "Miss, I beg you, please give Young Master Bai to me. I swear, if I'm with him, I'll leave this place and never let you find me repulsive again."
Qiao Qiu didn't want to see her anymore, so she turned around and said, "I have no feelings for Bai Shu. If you can get him out of my house, that's your choice."
After saying that, Qiao Qiu left.
When Gu Youying heard her say that, her eyes shone with a determined look.
Although Qiao Qiu was annoying, her words did have a certain credibility. She would give it a try and was sure she could invite Young Master Bai to her home.
When Qiao Qiu got back to her front door, she looked up and saw Bai Shu there. "Why haven't you gone in yet?"
"I'll be waiting for you," Bai Shu said matter-of-factly.
"Then let's go in," Qiao Qiu said.
"good."
Bai Shu didn't know what Gu Youying had talked about with her, but judging from her nonchalant demeanor, it probably wasn't anything serious.
