The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 1223 - 283: Making Trouble

Jun Suxue wanted to ask Mo Heng what on earth was going on! Looking at Pei Qin, it was clear she had no idea, she had obediently taken her medication and medicinal baths, simply waiting to get pregnant again.

"Miss Suxue, what’s wrong with you?" The maidservant taking care of her called out worriedly, seeing her complexion was frighteningly awful.

Jun Suxue looked up at her and shook her head, "Nothing!"

But she didn’t look like nothing was wrong at all.

Jun Suxue sent her away, but after she left, called her back, "You go... see when Marquis will return."

The maidservant thought something had happened to her and hastened to inquire about it.

Looking at the words on that piece of paper, Jun Suxue knew someone was up to no good, but regardless of who wanted to plot against her, she just wanted to find out, was General Pei... really taking medicine to save her life!?

Jiujiu climbed a tree to pick sophora flowers to prepare for eating, and also asked someone to check when Mo Heng and Pei Qin would be back, as she liked to cook with her parents.

Mo Heng returned earlier than Pei Qin, their precious daughter had asked early in the morning, so he came back ahead of time.

Jun Suxue waited for a while, the more she waited, the more agonizing it became, so she went out to wait. As soon as she saw Mo Heng had returned, she immediately greeted him, "Marquis!?"

Mo Heng saw her eyes were somewhat red, "What’s the matter?"

"I have something to ask you, Marquis!" Jun Suxue handed him the note.

Upon taking it, Mo Heng’s gaze suddenly became sharp, and he looked at her fiercely, "Where did this come from?"

"General always wants to eat dumplings with wild vegetable filling. I went out to buy them today, and an old woman stuffed this into my hand on the street," Jun Suxue stared at him directly, demanding, "Is it true or not!?"

Mo Heng looked at her for a moment, "Let’s talk in the study!"

Jun Suxue stiffened up, struggling to control her emotions, clenched her fists, and followed him to the study.

Jiujiu’s maidservant Qing Tao saw this and couldn’t help frowning. It was fine that Miss Suxue was managing Tiance Mansion, but she had taken the initiative to find the Marquis and in such a state. She ran back to find Jiujiu, "Miss! The Marquis has returned but was stopped by Miss Suxue, I don’t know what they want to talk about, they went to the study."

"Jun Suxue stopped Father from going to the study!?" Jiujiu’s face changed.

Qing Tao nodded.

"I’ll go take a look, you clean up first!" said Jiujiu, already slipping out.

Qing Tao answered and watched over the sophora flowers, but feeling anxious, she quietly followed. If something happened to her young lady, she could step in.

Just as Jiujiu crept over, she heard Jun Suxue crying and questioning, "Why has it come to this?" Her little face darkened as she circled to a strategic position, ready to burst in and catch any culprits. That vile Xie Yi wanted to plot against their family, and sure enough, this Jun Suxue was no good either!

Jun Suxue was kneeling on the ground, unable to stop weeping.

Mo Heng watched her, not speaking. It was him who had failed to protect Pei Qin!

Resentment filled Jun Suxue’s heart, "Aren’t you very clever and powerful? Why didn’t you protect her! You knew everything, you couldn’t stop her from taking risks, why didn’t you protect her!?"

Jiujiu, who was about to push the window open, paused her hand and continued to listen closely.

Jun Suxue clenched her fists tightly, she wanted to cry, wanted to rage, at that moment she could not stop the resentment, hating everyone, "Why? She gave everything for the people, for Great Chu, for all of you, but in the end, she couldn’t even save her own life!? Why do those vile people still want to harm her!? Why do you all do nothing, just watching her as she constantly faces harm and schemes!?"

Was she talking about... Mother? Jiujiu was stunned, her eyes suddenly reddening.

Mo Heng’s stern voice sounded, "If Qin’er finds out anything, it will only be from you!"

Jun Suxue could only suppress her sobs quietly.

Sensing movement inside the room, Jiujiu quickly hid herself.

Mo Heng left the study and went straight to the back courtyard.

It took Jun Suxue a while before she came out with red eyes, still clutching the note in her hand.

Pei Qin had also returned early, "Where are the people who wanted to steam sophora flowers?"

"Look Mother, I’ve picked so much!" Jiujiu wiped the sweat from her brow and came over with a large basket full of sophora flowers.

Fat Ball Xixi also ran over with her little short legs, "There’s me, too! I picked some!"

Pei Qin received the basket with a smile, "Let’s go! Mother will take you to make sophora flower dishes!"

Before long, Mo Heng also mysteriously showed up with a bunch of tender toon buds.

At this time of the season, toon buds are usually old and a bit astringent.

Pei Qin plucked off a leaf and tasted it, "Still tender! Later we’ll make an egg pancake, and tomorrow morning we’ll have cold mixed steamed sophora flowers!"

Jun Suxue didn’t come out, saying she felt unwell.

Pei Qin had the maidservant deliver a portion of the prepared sophora flower rice to her room.
