#351 - Chapter 351 Settlement

The restaurant was doing good business. Cheng Feng requested a private room. After ordering wine and dishes,

Cheng Feng looked at Su Qing and said, "Miss Su, if you don't seek medical treatment, I'm afraid you won't live past three years."

Su Qing was stunned by Cheng Feng's words.

When did he take my pulse?

"Ah, it was when he touched my hand."

Thinking of this, a blush crept across Su Qing's face.

Inside the private room of the restaurant, sunlight and shadows intertwined, reflecting the faces of the two people, each with their own thoughts.

Cheng Feng's gaze was deep, revealing a calm and composed certainty.

Su Qing's face was full of bitterness, yet mixed with a hint of imperceptible anticipation.

"Then do you still want to live?" Cheng Feng's words were concise and forceful, striking Su Qing's heart.

Upon hearing this, a complex emotion flashed in Su Qing's eyes. She gently bit her lip, as if organizing her thoughts, and after a moment, slowly opened her mouth: "Yes, of course I want to live.

There are still many things unfinished in this world. I still have a great revenge to avenge. How can I be willing to leave like this?

But, besides wishful thinking, what can I do?

The Four Seas Merchant Guild will not spend a penny for someone like me who is about to die."

Hearing this, Cheng Feng felt a surge of inexplicable emotion in his heart. He reached out and gently covered the back of Su Qing's hand on the table, the warmth transmitting through his palm.

"Miss Su, you are very lucky. When I took your pulse, I found that you can still be saved.

I will try my best to find those medicinal materials for you, but I am powerless to help with your revenge.

I can only tell you that as long as you are willing to live, nothing is impossible."

Cheng Feng's words were somewhat unfeeling, but for Su Qing at this moment, they were the best news.

"Young Master Cheng, are you willing to treat me?"

"Why are you being so kind to me? I... I..." Su Qing's words were choked with emotion. She didn't know how to express the gratitude and doubt in her heart.

Cheng Feng smiled softly. His judgment was correct. This girl, Su Qing, still knew what was important.

"Miss Su, sometimes there is no need for a reason for things in this world. I only know that I don't want to see you give up on life like this. You can understand me as being attracted to your beauty."

How could Su Qing take Cheng Feng's self-deprecating words seriously?

Attracted to her beauty?

Who would spend fifty thousand taels of silver to buy a sick and difficult-to-treat woman to be attracted to her beauty?

Wouldn't it be better to buy other girls?

There were even better ones than her on that register!

Having experienced great ups and downs, Su Qing began to sob softly.

This delicate and charming appearance made Cheng Feng's eyes light up.

She really had that charm when she cried.

"Alright, stop crying. I can't stand seeing a beautiful woman cry the most. I didn't buy you to watch you cry. From now on, you still have to wash my clothes, cook my meals, and have children for me. You'll suffer a lot."

Seeing Cheng Feng's deliberately fierce appearance, Su Qing couldn't help but smile through her tears.

"Guest, the food is here!!"

The waiter's shout changed the atmosphere in the private room, making it lighter.

While eating the specialty dishes of Blackwood Prefecture, Cheng Feng was thinking about Su Qing's arrangements.

Should he place her in the Cheng residence in Qingxi County?

Or should he let her stay in the new residence in Blackwood Prefecture?

This was his source of good fortune.

But the blood feud on Su Qing's body was not something that could be easily settled.

Smiling, he picked up some food for Su Qing, telling her to eat well, while Cheng Feng thought about his own affairs.

After the meal, Cheng Feng took Su Qing through the bustling streets of Blackwood Prefecture.

First, they arrived at a reputable clothing store. Inside the store, all kinds of fabrics and ready-made clothes were dazzling. Cheng Feng carefully selected several sets of clothes for Su Qing that were both fitting and comfortable to change into.

After Su Qing tried them on, she looked even more elegant and refined. They smiled at each other, satisfied, and left the clothing store.

Afterward, Cheng Feng took Su Qing to a medium-sized brokerage.

Inside the brokerage, all kinds of people were coming and going. Cheng Feng, for the price of four hundred taels of silver, selected several maids and servants who looked diligent and gentle, and several

for daily washing, cleaning, and serving Su Qing. Seeing Cheng Feng's generosity and seeing Su Qing's extraordinary temperament, these maids and servants secretly rejoiced that they could meet such a good master.

After settling these matters, Cheng Feng looked at the remaining sixty thousand taels of silver in his pocket, calculating the cost of that batch of precious medicinal materials, and thought to himself: "It should be enough."

With a plan in mind, Cheng Feng felt relieved and took Su Qing and the newly bought maids and servants back to the newly purchased residence.

The residence was located in a quiet place in Qingxi County. The newly hung plaque in front of the door was engraved with the words "Cheng Residence", which appeared both dignified and elegant.

Looking at the plaque, Su Qing couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart. She whispered, "Young Master, are you planning to settle down in Blackwood Prefecture?"

Cheng Feng smiled slightly and replied, "That's right. Since I'm here, shouldn't I buy a house to rest my feet? Besides, with my own residence, it's much more convenient to do things."

Hearing this, Su Qing's eyes wandered around the residence, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

She knew that Cheng Feng was not a local, but he was able to quickly purchase a residence here. This strength and wealth made her feel uneasy.

Currently, her value can only be...

The maids and servants behind her, seeing Su Qing's close behavior with Cheng Feng and hearing Cheng Feng call Su Qing "Miss," understood in their hearts that Su Qing was their future mistress.

They exchanged glances, secretly rejoicing in their hearts that their master was strong, and they thought that they, as servants, would have enough to eat and their lives would not be difficult.

Before the handover of the residence, the people from the brokerage had cleaned the courtyard spotlessly, and the newly bought maids and servants could also move in quickly.

From tomorrow onwards, the important task of cleaning the courtyard and serving the master would fall on the shoulders of these maids and servants.

After handling some scattered matters properly, Cheng Feng led Su Qing to the side room. This side room was decorated warmly and elegantly, obviously carefully prepared for her.

"This is where you will live from now on," Cheng Feng said softly, his tone revealing a hint of imperceptible tenderness,

"My family will also come over to visit in the future, and I will introduce you to them then. For now, you will temporarily be the housekeeper of this residence!"

Hearing Cheng Feng's words, a warm current surged in Su Qing's heart. She originally thought that Cheng Feng would have some designs on her, but seeing his behavior at this moment, he seemed so gentlemanly and respectful.

This gradually put her hanging heart down, secretly rejoicing: "Fortunately, I can still have some time to prepare."

However, just as she felt a little relieved in her heart, Cheng Feng's next sentence made her face pale: "I'll come find you at night."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, tightening Su Qing's heart. She secretly blamed herself: "What kind of divine prediction is this? Why couldn't I help but overthink it?"

She looked up at Cheng Feng, only to see Cheng Feng's handsome profile, but a hint of elusive meaning was revealed in those deep eyes.

Su Qing's heart was filled with mixed feelings, both shy and nervous, and a hint of inexplicable anticipation.

"Young Master Cheng, you... you're coming to find me at night, is there something you need?" Su Qing mustered up the courage to ask, trying to get some clues from Cheng Feng.

Cheng Feng smiled slightly, the smile full of mystery and temptation. "You'll know then, Miss Su, see you tonight."

After speaking, he turned and left the side room, leaving Su Qing alone there to savor the complex emotions in her heart.
