"Why did you come back?"

  The boy's voice was a little hoarse, muffled, and weeping.

  Su Qiruo raised her hand and rubbed the little guy's soft hair, and said warmly: "Why are you sitting outside? It's so cold!"

"I’m waiting for you."

  He seemed to sit on the threshold every time he couldn't wait for her, neither entering the house nor going out of the yard, just curled up in a ball, rubbing himself into the boundless loneliness.

   "Didn't I tell you when I left that I would be back later? Look, this hand is numb from the cold."

   Gently rubbing Qiao Nian's cold hands, Su Qiruo pulled him and opened the door and entered the room.

  Only sparks were left in the kang stove, Su Qiruo gave Qiao Nian a light look, but she didn't want to blame him for anything.

  Looking at this, he doesn't know how long he has been sitting outside.

   Scooped up a basin of hot water, and the two soaked their hands in the basin, Qiao Nian felt joyful.

   "Is Third Sister seriously injured?"

  Su Qiruo talked to him about the day's affairs, after cleaning his hands, he took out the two sugar buns that were still warm in his arms and handed them to Qiao Nian, asking him to pad his stomach first.

  Su Qiruo went to heat up some leftover dumplings from last night, and ate a meal together.

   "Then the third sister is engaged to Young Master Qiu?"

  Qiao Nian looked at Su Qiruo in disbelief. Although he himself was a man, it was obvious that Su Zhenghua suffered a disadvantage in this matter.

   No matter whether the reputation of Mr. Qiu's family was damaged or not, it didn't make sense for Su Zhenghua to take this responsibility, and he was beaten for nothing.

Su Qiruo picked up two dumplings and put them in the bowl in front of Qiao Nian, said with a light smile: "Third sister is not unintentional towards that young master Qiu, otherwise with her temperament, she might not be so easy to accept this." A family affair."

  Su Zhenghua probably felt that he didn't want to implicate Mr. Qiu, after all, who would want to come to such a family?

  Qiao read it clearly: "If this is the case, then the third sister may just want to wait until she becomes famous in the future before discussing marriage. In that case, even with the Su family as a drag, she can have more confidence in herself."

   "You can see it clearly."

  If Su Qi doesn't make dumplings for Qiao Nian, he won't be able to eat more at night.

  It was Su Zhenghua's side, she also thought so.

   It is enough to be able to eat five minutes full at night, and keep healthy.

   "Then if you arrange this marriage for the third sister, the rest of them won't blame you?"

  Qiao Nian was afraid that the Zheng family would use this matter to trouble Su Qiruo in the future. Without Su Zhenghua, they wouldn't need to get involved in the Su family's affairs.

   "No, this marriage was agreed by my aunt and uncle."

  From Su Qiruo's point of view, it's too late for the Su family to be happy, so how could they blame her.

   "During this time, I will still take two hours a day to study with my third sister. You must not sit at the door when you are alone at home. Be careful that you will freeze your body."

  Qiao Nian obediently agreed, as long as he knew when she would return home, he would be able to feel at ease, and he would not go outside and wait foolishly.

   I don't know who from the Su family spread the word. After breakfast the next day, when Su Qiruo went to find Su Zhenghua with a book, the news of Su Zhenghua's engagement to Mr. Qiu had already spread throughout the village.

   It should have been a good thing, but Su Zhenghua couldn't be happier.

  Last night, Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Zhang were afraid they were so happy that they didn't sleep all night, so they guarded the things the Qiu family gave them.

  Going outside to show off before dawn made Su Zhenghua blush just thinking about it.

  Su Qiruo has never been a troublesome person, she only came here to talk about knowledge with Su Zhenghua, nothing else.

   And Su Zhenghua is not a person who likes to gossip, no matter how it is spread outside, she only reads sage books with both ears.

  When the wound on Su Zhenghua's body didn't hurt, he couldn't move his hands yet.

  Su Qiruo asked her to go to her yard every day, and left a dish for lunch by the way.

  Having been in contact with Su Qiruo for so long, Su Zhenghua also knew that Su Qiruo was not of a calculating nature, so he stopped being so polite with her.

   And she also discovered that Su Qiruo and Qiao Nian lived behind the Su residence.

  Su Zhenghua knew what to do without Su Qiruo telling him what to do.

  If Su Qi didn't want others to know about this, she wouldn't talk too much.

   "Master Huang has already signed up for you, just wait for us to take the exam together this autumn."

  When Su Zhenghua came over this day, he was holding a letter in his hand, with a smile on his face.

  Su Qiruo was overjoyed: "This is thanks to the third sister, and my sister thanked me here."

  Su Qiruo originally thought that she had to go to the county town to deal with it, but she didn't expect Master Huang to help her with it all.

   It seems that she is really in the light of her mother.

   "Masters are all looking forward to recording your name in our academy. Master Huang also said that the dean asked her to thank you very much!"

  With Su Qiruo's talent and learning, he can definitely get to the top of the list.

  If she can go all the way to the top spot, it will not be just her own glory.

   At that time, the legend of the mother and daughter of the Su family will definitely be recorded in the history books of Lihua Town and spread for a hundred years.

  Su Qiruo smiled faintly: "I thought that everyone would avoid me if my mother was convicted of a crime, but I didn't expect the masters of the academy to be so enlightened."

  Su Zhenghua's face turned serious, he looked at Su Qiruo seriously and said, "Don't underestimate yourself, everyone knows what happened to the third aunt, so how can you be blamed?"

  Even the emperor was not implicated in the Su family, so no one outsiders would talk too much.

  If Su Qi was sent back to Lihua Village, she would have taken refuge. If it wasn't for the fear of being assassinated by those imperial daughters who are vying for the throne, how could the Lin family be willing to send away their only granddaughter!

  Outsiders know it well, and they don't know whether the emperor knows it or not.

Su Sanniang was originally promoted by the emperor, and she handed Su Sanniang over to His Majesty the Crown Princess, but in the end she made Su Sanniang take the blame for the Crown Princess. Under the rule of the imperial power, there is really no friendship and fairness to speak of.

   Not wanting to mention that matter again, Su Qiruo invited Su Zhenghua to stay for lunch.

   "No matter what, I still want to thank Third Sister. Let's cook some delicious food at noon today to celebrate."

   Qiao Nian, who was obediently copying the book, heard Su Qiruo's words, and hurriedly put down his pen.

   "Then I'll wash and pick everything up first."

  Every time Su Qiruo cooks, Qiao Nian helps. If he wants to eat delicious lunch, he has to prepare it in advance.

  It usually takes about an hour for Su Qiruo to cook chicken, and it's almost time for him to prepare the side dishes now.

  Seeing Qiao Nian bouncing out of the room, Su Zhenghua looked away enviously.

  If she also has the courage of the Fifth Sister, her husband will be as relaxed as Qiao Nian in the future!

  She still remembers how pitiful Qiao Nian was before.

   "Are there many people in the academy going to take the provincial examination this year?"

   "Adding you makes a total of five people."

  Su Qiruo nodded, she decided to go to the provincial capital to rent a small yard earlier, if they wanted, they could live together and have someone to take care of them.
