The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 1224 - 283: Making Trouble_2

After they had finished eating, Jun Suxue also had finished her meal.

Jiujiu pulled her mother to go to class, while Xixi listened on the side, seemingly understanding.

Pei Qin had lectured for a while, but she couldn’t help feeling sleepy.

"Let’s sleep early today, Mom! I picked locust flowers this afternoon and skipped my nap!" Jiujiu put away her notebook.

Pei Qin waved her hand, "Wash up and go back to your room to sleep!"

Jiujiu put Xixi to sleep, then quietly got up. With her nimble movement, she had Qing Tao cover for her and slipped into Jun Suxue’s room.

Jun Suxue hadn’t slept yet; there was a basket of sewing materials on her bed, and she was halfway through making a summer dress for Pei Qin, holding the needle, lost in thought.

"Are you thinking about my mom?" Jiujiu appeared directly in her room.

Jun Suxue, startled, looked up and saw it was her, then relaxed, "It’s still chilly, why are you dressed like that running out?"

Jiujiu was wearing the pajamas Pei Qin had made for her, a small buttoned jacket and capri pants embroidered with some little yellow ducks.

"Who slipped you the letter?" Jiujiu asked directly, not bothering about other things.

Jun Suxue’s expression changed, "You... you heard?"

"I’ve known for a while. Who wrote the letter to you? Was it Wei Shu?" Jiujiu revealed an unexpected maturity at that moment.

Jun Suxue opened her mouth, shocked by her youth. Who had told her? Mo Heng? Looking at her firm expression, so similar to Mo Heng’s, she nodded, "It must be her. If I intend to meet, going to the market tomorrow will signal it to them."

"Go tomorrow!" Jiujiu spoke firmly.

Jun Suxue looked at her for a while, "You... Jiujiu, you’re still young..."

"Go tomorrow! Once you get the meeting address, come back to discuss it with me!" Jiujiu finished speaking and swiftly exited through the window.

Jun Suxue rushed to the window just in time to see her leap, flying across to the opposite roof and disappear. After a long time, she closed the window. She knew both Jiujiu and Xixi practiced martial arts, but she hadn’t expected Jiujiu’s skills to be so advanced at just seven years old.

Lying in bed for a while, Jun Suxue decisively closed her eyes.

The next day, she got up early and headed to the market to buy fresh wild vegetables and game.

It was the same old woman as last time, who again slipped her a piece of paper. Jun Suxue didn’t open it, acting as if nothing had happened, bought the groceries, and let the accompanying old woman carry them home.

The messenger returned to Wei Shu and reported her behavior, "She’s calculated and cunning. Just a slight intervention, and Fang Hui’s noodle stall could barely continue!"

Wei Shu nodded. If Jun Suxue didn’t have the capabilities, she wouldn’t have managed to win over Pei Qin, who then took Mo Heng into their household. She arranged for Jun Suxue’s meeting place to be in Willow Forest by the river outside the city.

Normally, Pei Qin had no restrictions on Jun Suxue about going out, leaving her free to wander; she usually planned well, and there wasn’t much to manage at home, nobody indispensable.

After serving Pei Qin breakfast and medicine, she talked about going to the city gate to buy pickled goose, "Last time General said it was delicious. I’ll go early today to queue up and buy several, to send to the Commandery Princess and Madam Zhao and Madam Fang."

"Mhm! Good! Buy an extra one to take home for your parents and brother’s family too! If you want to stroll around, just take your sister-in-law with you. Now it’s the most comfortable time in spring, soon it will be too hot to go out." Pei Qin told her to take the money herself.

Seeing her face getting healthier due to the medicine, Jun Suxue’s heart felt as if it was being sawed at, forcing a smile in response.

After seeing her out, she also left with the old woman and the guard.

Wei Shu, receiving the news, also discreetly left, instructing her people to keep a close watch on Jun Suxue to prevent any trickery. A woman from a poor family like her, even if favored by Pei Qin, could never aspire to become Madam Marquis! Jiu Heng would surely marry again! Jun Suxue, at most, would be a concubine and still be subject to the main wife’s favor!

Watching Jun Suxue’s carriage leave the city, Wei Shu cautiously left as well. Jun Suxue was in an inconspicuous carriage, and so to avoid detection, she chose one usually used by the steward.

Once outside the city, Jun Suxue got out of the carriage and followed the path.

Wei Shu followed from behind, and after watching her take a few turns towards the riverside Willow Forest, she took a deep breath and followed.

But upon entering the Willow Forest, she found no one, causing Wei Shu to frown and call out, "Ms. Jun, since you’ve come, show yourself!"

A figure approached through the leaf-covered ground.

Wei Shu turned around, and her expression changed instantly, "You..."

Before she could speak, the figure embraced her, biting her mouth, throwing her to the ground, and began tearing her clothes.
