“Yes, Sister. I can also make one for you if you like,” said Su Qingluo in her soft voice as she smiled with an arched brow.

She didn’t say that the bamboo could do more than just be played as a flute.

The bamboo could also be a weapon, sharp as a sword in her hands. She could wield it so well that she could pick flowers or leaves from afar or strike acupuncture points precisely within the range of a hundred steps.

“Good, there is a designated teacher to teach The Six Arts at Minshui College. I was just thinking about which instrument I should learn in Music.”

Su Ziqin smiled widely. “If you can make me a bamboo flute with your own hands, I will just learn to play the flute.”

“Sister, if you want to learn to play the flute. I will go into the mountains with Father when we return to Woniu Village and find a suitable bamboo to make a flute for you.”

Su Qingluo’s eyes lit up. She was worried about not having an excuse to play in the mountains. With the excuse of finding bamboo, her mother could no longer stop her.

“Hey, good Sister, make a bamboo flute for me too.”

Listening with a jealous look, Su Zixuan also came over to ask for a flute.

“Sure, as many as you want, my brother.”

Su Qingluo beamed joyfully, thinking her good brother was actually rationalizing her playing in the mountains.

“Yuyu, be careful when making bamboo flutes. Don’t cut your hand.”

As expected, Li Xiu’e did not strongly oppose her going out to do business but only warned worriedly.

“Okay, Mother, I’ll be careful. You can rest assured.”

Su Qingluo agreed jubilantly, starting to long for the good days when she returned to Woniu Village and played recklessly in the name of looking for bamboo in the mountains.

In the city’s west alley.

The assistant of the intermediary agency had brought a family to hire a servant. Seeing that a new deal was about to be made, the broker woman introducing the servants smiled so broadly that her face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum.

“Dear guests. You can rest assured. Our servants have been registered with the government, and you can take them away immediately after signing the contract. So there is no need to worry about evil servants bullying their masters.”

The broker eloquently talked in the courtyard where the servants were placed, but Su Qingluo was not in the mood to listen to her nonsense, so she walked around the courtyard alone, holding the little baby.

Not long later, she stopped and squatted in front of a three- or four-year-old girl with a pretty face and two maid hairpins.

The little girl’s right ear had been bitten by a mosquito and was swollen. Due to the itch, she had scratched it so hard that she had broken the skin.

“Little sister, a scented sachet for you. It can repel mosquitoes, so you do not need to be afraid of mosquitoes.” Su Qingluo took a mosquito repellent sachet from the small basket and handed it to her.

“Thank you, Sister.” The dubious little girl took the sachet and gave her a friendly smile based on the trust between the children.

“Minmin, you can’t just take things from others for granted.”

The woman beside the little girl, dressed in rags, looked pale and weak. Yet, even kneeling on the ground, she still had a straight back and an elegant demeanor.

Seeing the little girl was not defensive at all, she reprimanded in a gentle voice with her eyebrows lightly knitted,

“Mother, it smells so good!”

The little girl raised the scented sachet to her mother, her big, dark eyes flashing with a long-lost surprise.

“Madam broker, that mother and daughter?”

Seeing her little daughter talking to a mother and daughter from afar, Li Xiu’e curiously inquired about the mother and daughter.

“Sir, to be honest, you’d better keep your hand out of them.”

The agency assistant suddenly joined the conversation and whispered to Su Hu.

“Why?” Su Hu did not understand.

“Those two people are Lord Wei’s family members.”

His voice was extremely low as if he feared being heard. “Lord Wei wrote a letter of advice and was beheaded by the Empress. His family was exterminated. The men were killed, and the women were made official servants. No one dares get involved with his family.”
