Qiong Yi didn't believe Su Changming's words at all. The first thing she did after leaving the school was to go straight to Wa Village to find Wei Xinxin.
In the somewhat dilapidated fenced yard, the person who came to greet her was not a little girl about half a person tall, but Wei Ying, who was wearing coarse linen clothes. When Wei Ying saw it was Qiong Yi, she was startled for a moment, and then she came up to her with a smile: "Miss Lu, it's you."
"I heard from Xiaoxin that you often come to our house and Grandma Wang's house to help with cooking and cleaning, and you always bring some food. During my absence, thank you very much, girl!" Wei Ying pulled her into the house. Wei Xinxin also walked out of the house and called them: "Sister! Sister Lu!"
The scene in front of her made Qiong Yi a little confused: Could it be that everything Su Changming said was true?
"Miss Wei Ying,...who redeemed you?"
Wei Ying looked surprised, feeling that her question was simply incomprehensible: "Didn't you help me, girl? If you hadn't sought justice for my family, how could the Zhang family who had harmed my father be willing to pay compensation, and how could I use this Where’s the money to redeem myself?”
"That's it..." Qiong Yi never thought that the matter would be resolved so smoothly, but seeing that their sisters were finally reunited, she felt relieved and smiled softly: "It's great that you can come back, and Xiaoxin will be very happy too." of."
Wei Xinxin hugged her sister's legs and nodded her head.
"In this case, you must be busy with a lot of things soon after you come back, so I won't stay and disturb you." Qiong Yi said and turned to leave.
Wei Ying called her out: "Miss Lu!"
Qiong Yi looked back and heard her say: "Miss Lu, you have been very kind to my family. I have received a large amount of money. It seems a bit vulgar to think of giving money back to the girl. Will the girl be free tomorrow night? I will invite the girl to come. Going to the small teahouse at the entrance of the village to have dinner is something I would like to do..."
As soon as Qiong Yi opened her lips, Wei Ying said again: "I'm so kind to you, girl, please come..." She looked eager, with her hands on her chest, her eyes full of expectation, Qiong Yi never thought of rejecting her, and responded: " Of course I will come."
Qiong Yi paused: "My junior brothers and sisters also helped me, I called them..."
"No... no!" Wei Ying was stunned and shook her head repeatedly: "You are a girl and you often come to the village to help. I... my sister is afraid of strangers. I'm afraid... she is not very willing to come with you when she sees a stranger... ..." After saying that, he took Wei Xinxin's hand and said, "Isn't that right, Xiaoxin?"
Wei Xinxin looked at her sister, frowned, and then nodded: "Well, it's good if Sister Lu comes. Xiaoxin likes Sister Lu!" As she said this, she walked to Qiong Yi, who shaved her head. Scratching her little nose: "That's good! I'll come over early tomorrow!"
Wei Xinxin smiled happily: "Yeah!"

The next day.
Qiong also told Su Ye that the Wei family matter had been resolved, and that Wei Ying invited her to have dinner in Wa Village.
Su Ye slapped his leg: "Solved? Is it solved now? Why do I feel like I didn't do anything?" After a long pause, he asked again: "What does Wei Ying mean by calling you alone?"
Qiong also repeated what Wei Ying said: "She said that her little sister is afraid of strangers. I often go to her house and I know her well."
Su Ye only said: "You either take your junior brothers and sisters with you, or you don't go."
"Are you worried that this is a scam?"
"I think it's a little weird and not very appropriate."
"No, I think Miss Wei Ying is an innocent person. She should simply want to thank me." Qiong Yi said it very simply, almost without thinking.
"Otherwise, you told her how many days before you go? Sheng Xuanyuan hasn't come back yet."
"What's wrong with Guan Shenghao?"
Su Ye secretly said in his heart: Sheng Xuanyuan is not here, if something happens I may not be able to take care of it!
Seeing Su Ye's worried look, Qiong Yi patted her chest and promised, "Don't worry, I'm just having a meal with the two girls from the Wei family. If Su Changming is there, I'm sure to leave immediately!"
Hearing her certainty, Su Ye relaxed and said, "Okay." He then asked, "Which direction is Kubo Village? I still can't worry about it. I'll come find you at night."
"On the west side of the town, just follow the path and you'll be there."
"become."

As night fell, Sheng Xuanyuan returned to the dormitory of the school.
Su Ye was about to change his clothes and go out, when he saw him coming back after a long journey, he said, "Oh! You're back? You're really lucky. I'm going to pick up Lu Xiyan!"
"Pick her up?"
"That's right. Is the jade finished? What kind of shape is it? Show me!"
After hearing this, Sheng Xuanyuan took out the mahogany box from his arms and opened it to show him. After Su Ye read it, he nodded with praise: "Not bad! It's a beautiful piece of jade jewelry!"
Sheng Xuanyuan thought about his last sentence and asked, "Why did you say you wanted to pick her up?"
"After the girl from the Wei family in Xiaowa Village was redeemed from the brothel, in order to repay her gratitude, she was invited to have a meal."
"Who redeemed her?"
"It seems that the family who killed his father paid him compensation and used the money to redeem himself."
"...Recognizing it so quickly? It's a bit strange."
"That's right! You feel something is wrong too!"
"Yes." Sheng Xuanyuan untied his clothes that were stained with dust and took out a black robe from the cabinet, "I'll go too."

When Qiong Yi arrived at the small teahouse at the entrance of the village, the owner of the teahouse welcomed her in very warmly: "She must be the guest of Xiaoying, right? You came so early! The dishes are still being prepared! I have prepared some tea and cakes. If the girl is hungry, she can fill her belly first."
The tea house was very small, with two wooden houses between them and a hill lined with tea trees behind it. She saw the woman pointing at a small stilted building in the distance and walking towards it.
The wooden steps at the foot of the building are not high. Going up is a spacious room. The wooden door is wide open. In the hall separated by a screen, Wei Ying is wearing an apron and busy at the table, setting the dishes. When she turns around, she sees Qiong Yi looked happy and called out: "Miss Lu, you came so early."
She placed a plate of cakes on the low table and poured the brewed tea into a porcelain cup to let it cool: "This is a pre-dinner snack. When I bring the dishes prepared by the kitchen, I will pick up Xiaoxin. She You’re still waiting for me at home!”
Qiong also sat down at the desk, nodded and said, "Yes."
She likes to eat sweet cakes very much, so she won't let them go if she sees them in front of her. She picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake and put it into her mouth. The sweetness was mixed with a hint of sourness, which mixed together. It was very unappetizing. She spit out the piece of rice cake that she had not yet swallowed, and her expression was distorted: "... ...Uh, Miss Wei Ying, this rice cake seems to be broken."
Wei Ying said "Ah" and hurriedly walked to her side and handed the tea: "How could this happen?" She said, picked up the plate of glutinous rice cakes, looked at it carefully, smelled it again, mixed with There is indeed a strange smell in the sweetness of the powdered sugar, and it is indeed spoiled.
"It's really broken... maybe it's a pastry from a few days ago. Girl, drink some tea to suppress the strange smell! I have to go find the owner and ask what's going on." Wei Ying apologized: "I'm sorry. , I should have tasted it myself in advance.”
"It's okay. I tasted something wrong and vomited it out. I didn't swallow it. I won't have a stomachache. You don't have to blame yourself." Qiong Yi said, putting the porcelain cup in his hand to his mouth and taking a big sip: "This tea It’s also a bit bitter.”
"...It's camellia. It's normal for it to be bitter." Wei Ying saw her throat moving up and down, and she really swallowed the tea. She lowered her head and kept her voice very low: "Miss Lu, I'm sorry..."
Qiong also didn't hear clearly: "Huh? What did you say?"
"I said... this glutinous rice cake is spoiled, and I have to apologize to my employer. The dishes in the kitchen should be ready. I'll bring them to you. Girl, please sit down for a while. I'll pick up Xiaoxin later. "
"Well, you go ahead." Qiong Yi took another sip of tea and said.
Seeing Wei Ying leaving with her head lowered, Qiong Yi went to explore the pot of tea, opened the spout, brought it to her nose and sniffed, but found nothing strange.
"Miss Wei probably won't plot against me... After all, I treat her sister so well, and I worry a lot about her family." Qiong Yi poured another cup of tea from the pot, brought it to her mouth and drank it.
The tea tastes a little bitter when you first taste it, but after tasting it carefully, it turns out to be a little sweet.
What kind of tea is this? It tastes pretty good.
Qiong Yi wanted to pour another one, but she heard a creaking sound coming from the door. She thought it was Wei Ying coming back, but when she looked up again, the person entering the door was actually Su Changming!
Qiong Yi was startled, and her first reaction was to slap the table and stand up, but her legs seemed to be out of control, and she staggered and failed to get up. She supported the table with both hands and barely supported herself.
"Hey, Yan'er, you drank a lot." Su Changming closed the door with a smile and walked towards her step by step.
...Why did Su Changming come here?
Qiong Yi hunched over and leaned against the wall to stand up straight. She had not yet realized why Su Changming appeared here. She did not dare to think about the relationship between Wei Ying who walked out just now and him who came in now. She vaguely guessed She couldn't help but feel chilled. She couldn't believe that Wei Ying's invitation to her here would be a tailor-made trap.
Her head felt a little heavy, which was a sign of dizziness. Qiong Yi clenched her sword and sang, her voice lowered into her throat: "Su Changming, what's in the tea?"
"Some... interesting things." Su Changming showed a weird smile: "These are the treasures I found with great effort."
He was vague, and Qiong didn't say another word. The true energy started from her Dantian and circulated throughout her body. She drew out her string song and stabbed it with a sword like floating light. Su Changming hurriedly drew out the long sword from behind and took it, not wanting her speed to be unexpected. He was so fast that he was almost cut to the neck by the sword blade. He spun a few times in the air to relieve the force, and touched his neck with a chill on his back: "Yan'er, you are so cruel!"
"Shut your mouth!" White light overflowed from the Xiange sword. Qiong Yi used his true energy, tried his best to suppress the feeling of dizziness and heat in his body, and struck him with another sword.
Su Changming had already experienced the power of her sword energy and did not dare to touch her head-on. When he was about to dodge, he saw her swinging her sword towards the window. The wooden window suddenly exploded. Qiong Yi ignored the flying sawdust and jumped straight out.
What greeted her outside the window was not the moonlight, but a long knife that was slashing horizontally. With a "clang--" sound, Xian Ge collided with the blade of the knife. Qiong Yi never expected that there would be someone guarding outside the house. She was caught off guard and was hit alive. Returning to the house, he collided with the screen in the center of the hall. The screen crashed to the ground, revealing a gorgeously decorated bed at the other end, decorated with window grilles and red candles.
Qiong Yi's heart sank completely. She saw this with her own eyes and could not make an excuse for Wei Ying.
Su Changming's smile was a bit determined: "Yan'er, if you delay for a while, the poison will take effect, and you won't be so energetic."
Qiong Yi only felt that the true energy in his body was running slower and slower, almost stagnant. As the true energy could not flow to suppress the strange sensations in the body, the chaos in his brain became more and more serious.
She pointed her sword at Su Changming: "...what poison did you give me?"
Su Changming looked at her cheeks that were gradually turning red, and smiled and replied: "This is a joy that is hard to find among Taoist couples."
Qiong Yi shuddered and gritted his teeth: "...you are obscene!"
"Do you know the purpose of this medicine? Then I don't need to say more." Su Changming took off his coat and threw it to the ground, his smile became more and more lustful: "You can scold me a few more words, Yan'er, come here, scold me, I like listening to."
Qiong Yi had never heard such a request in his life, and was frightened back two steps by these words.
"Ever since I heard your singing in Yunliang Pavilion that night, I have been thinking about it day and night. Your little temper pleases me. Yan'er, you and I have a good relationship. When I marry you, we will become the members of the Su family. Madam."
"Just because you... still want to be the leader of the Su clan?" Qiong Yi pinched his arm to force himself to stay awake and cursed angrily: "You are dreaming! You are wishful thinking!"
