"But you are living such a good life now, not as miserable as I imagined."
"This trip to the capital made me realize how insignificant I was and how naive and ridiculous I was before."
"Yinong, I was wrong. I was so wrong. You are really excellent. You are worthy of my learning."
"I also want to work hard for myself and rescue my grandfather from the cannibalistic place like the Marquis' Mansion."
Li Qinghe clenched his fists over his chest and looked at Qiu Yinong with burning eyes.
"I can heal your brother's leg, but he needs to atone for the mistakes he made before. You can go back and talk to him."
"The condition for healing his leg is that he go to the border and do corvée labor for three years, guarding the Great Chu. If he wants to come back after three years, I can help him retire."
Li Qinghe's face was filled with surprise. "Really? Can you really cure my brother's leg?"
Qiu Yinong nodded: "But you need to pretend to be very angry when you go out, and don't get involved. If that person asks you, just say that I don't want to be with you and I don't want to embroider for the Marquis's wife."
Li Qinghe suddenly became anxious: "If they are angered like this, Xuanyi and Lanwu will definitely come to deal with you or your family."
"Don't worry, I told you, she can't touch me, you just need to keep quiet."
Li Qinghe looked at Qiu Yinong deeply. For some reason, she felt at ease when she saw the confident smile on her face. "I understand."
As she spoke, she stood up angrily and said angrily, "Qiu Yinong, don't refuse a toast and then drink a penalty."
"Get lost!" Qiu Yinong responded and gave her a thumbs up. Li Qinghe smiled shyly.
Then Li Qinghe was kicked out of the door. Li Qinghe said nothing and angrily shouted: "Let's go back!"
She got on the carriage, and soon it left the Qiu family's gate.
The person on the tree left quickly, and Qiu Yinong drank tea leisurely.
In the book, Li Qinghe and his sister are not good people either. They are spoiled, willful, and bully the weak.
However, when the flood came and Manager Li committed evil deeds, it was these two brothers and sisters who secretly helped the poor. Li Maocai even drowned while trying to save a child who was swallowed by the water.
Li Qinghe did not have a good life later. She was sent to Wen County by Manager Li to marry a man who was nearly fifty years old as a concubine. She was tortured to death by the wife.
So, there were some problems with the character created by the author at the beginning.
After the actual contact, Qiu Yinong concluded that Li Qinghe was not a bad person.
Li Maocai only had the desire to commit a crime but not the courage to do so, so she made him do labor service and protect the Great Chu. If he was lucky enough to achieve great things, it would be his blessing.
If he died on the border, that would be his fate.
Everything depends on God's arrangement.
It may also be that Qiu Yinong felt compassion for a moment. A man who dotes on his sister can't be that bad.
Li Qinghe returned to the town quickly. As soon as she entered the door, Xuanyi followed her into the yard.
"Just call Li Qinghe."
"Miss Qinghe, wait a moment." Xuan Yi caught up.
Li Qinghe's face was instantly filled with displeasure, but when she looked at him, she hurriedly put away her displeasure and replaced it with a wry smile: "Master Xuan, what's wrong?"
"You went to find Qiu Yinong, what happened?"
Li Qinghe's face immediately turned unhappy when she heard this. She said angrily, "Don't mention it. I thought that since we grew up together, I should let her know the situation and not offend the Marquis' wife."
“In the end, she didn’t appreciate it at all and even called me a running dog. She would never help the Marquis’ wife embroider.”
"Isn't this just like drinking a toast and then drinking a penalty?"
As she said this, she turned around angrily.
Xuan Yi looked at her angry expression, was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Since she is so ignorant of the current situation, then there is no need to say anything more. Just arrest her and bring her back to my wife for her punishment."
"Then I'll have to trouble Lord Xuan." Li Qinghe bowed.
Xuan nodded and went to find Lan Wu.
Li Qinghe took the opportunity to find Li Maocai. Li Maocai looked outside vigilantly and then asked in a low voice, "What did Qiu Yinong say?"
"Brother, Yinong told us to leave it alone. Also, she said she can help you heal your leg, but the prerequisite is that you have to atone for the mistakes you made before."
"You will be sent to the border to serve as a corvée and guard the Great Chu. If you agree, she will let you return in three years."
"Although she is a farmer's daughter now, when she said these words, I felt that she could definitely do it."
"Brother, what do you think?"
After saying that, she quickly told Li Maocai what Qiu Yinong had said to her.
After she finished speaking, Li Qinghe looked at Li Maocai expectantly. Li Maocai looked at her and was obviously a little excited.
"Did she really say she could get me back on my feet?"
Li Qinghe nodded. Li Maocai thought about it again and again, and finally nodded and said, "I am willing to atone for my previous mistakes as long as I can stand up again."
"As long as I can stand up, I will go to perform labor service in the autumn to defend my country."
Li Maocai has been looked down upon a lot during the days he was paralyzed. His father had previously told him without reservation that he was paralyzed and would have difficulty inheriting the family business in the future.
Oh, even though his father was a slave, he was not completely free of corruption during his years in Qingquan Town.
Otherwise, why was Dad so nervous when Xuanyi and the others said they wanted to come along that day? Wasn’t it because he was afraid that Xuanyi and the others were here to check the accounts?
It is better not to have a father who changes his mind according to the wind, a father who is treacherous and wants to abandon his children for a woman who hurts him.
"Qiu Yinong is right. Dad has been bewitched by that woman. He clearly wanted to kill Bai Lian when he was released from prison, but after just one trip to the prison, he changed his mind."
"Now that mother's whereabouts are unknown, he's not worried at all. A man like him is not worthy of being our father."
Li Qinghe's eyes were red, and she said worriedly, "Brother, has something happened to Mom?"
"I'm worried about her."
Li Maocai held her hand and said softly, "Don't worry, if Qiu Yinong can really heal my leg, I will go find mother's whereabouts."
"Take you with me."
"Okay, brother, let's go find mom together." Li Qinghe nodded happily.
A maid's warning was heard outside, and the two siblings quickly sat down. Li Qinghe deliberately said loudly: "Brother, don't you think Qiu Yinong is too ignorant?"
"I even put aside my pride and went to look for her in person, all because we grew up together."
"She not only didn't appreciate it, but also mocked me."
"You keep saying our ancestors were slaves."
"We are slaves, but we have no indentures to sell ourselves to our masters. As long as I get married, even if it's just to an ordinary person, I can become a good citizen."
"She, Qiu Yinong, is just a peasant girl now, what's so arrogant about it?"
Li Maocai also agreed: "Alright, alright, she is no longer the Zhao family's biological daughter, how can she still be as glorious as before."
