Chapter 30 Unable to resist
Upon hearing these words, Qiao Sanlin's eyes widened in surprise.

I can't believe she said that.

How could she speak to them so gently and call him "Third Brother"?
She had never called them that before.

He looked at Qiao Suluo with suspicion and wariness, wondering if she was planning something against them again.

But when he looked into her eyes, he seemed to see an extremely sincere and tender expression. He shook his head, telling himself not to believe it.

He still remembered all the insults and humiliations she had said to them before.

"You probably haven't even left the county town or gone out to see the world, so naturally you don't know how remote and backward your tribe is, or what kind of low-class things you're wearing..."

"And you lot, you dare call me 'sister'? Do you deserve it?"

"Don't you even know what lowly orcs you are? I don't have brothers as disgraceful as you."

"If it weren't for you, I would still be a noblewoman in the capital, and I would never have been switched back. It's all your fault..."

These words are now echoing in his mind, so much so that he finds it hard to believe what she just said.

Qiao Suluo didn't expect them to accept her all at once. She believed that as long as she put her heart into her work, they would eventually see her good qualities.

She wouldn't talk like her predecessor.

After Qiao Suluo finished speaking, she said a few words to Qiao Feishuang and then went home.

Qiao Feishuang wanted her to stay for dinner, but considering that she still had a beastly husband, she didn't insist.

However, he saw his daughter off at the door, looking at her with reluctance.

Qiao Suluo took a few steps and looked back, only to find Qiao Feishuang still standing at the door. She couldn't help but feel a little touched, which reminded her of the scene in her previous life when she lived with her grandmother in the countryside. Every time she went to school, her grandmother would personally come to the door to see her off.

"Mother, let's go back."

"it is good."

Although she agreed, she still kept watching.

Qiao Suluo thought that she should visit her more often when she had time.

……

Qiao Suluo took off the scarf after she got home.

Que Hongjin had already soaked a towel in cold water and handed it to Qiao Suluo, saying, "You're feeling better. Use this to apply it again."

Upon returning from the county town, Que Hongjin immediately poured cold water into a towel and used it to apply a cold compress to Que Hongjin's neck.

Her neck is indeed much better now; otherwise, if she went to her parents' house, her mother would notice and worry about her again.

Que Hongjin leaned very close to her when she bent down to apply ice to her neck.

Even sitting down, Qiao Sulu could smell the faint, pleasant scent emanating from Que Hongjin. It was like the fragrance of cedar wood, clean, crisp, mysterious, and captivating, yet it gave people a sense of security and reliability.

His appearance was already breathtakingly beautiful, like a poem or a painting, and seeing him up close made the visual impact on Qiao Suluo even stronger.

Qiao Suluo's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she dared not look around or move. She wanted to turn her head away gently so as not to look at him.

So as not to make him think I'm infatuated with that face.

She has memories of her past life, and she remembers that none of them liked being looked at by her.

But Qiao Suluo moved slightly, and Que Hongjin placed one hand behind her head and gently turned her back, saying, "Don't move."

"Oh, oh."

Qiao Suluo stopped moving around.

Que Hongjin applied the compress to her face, and after a while, she took it off, soaked it in cold water again, and then applied it back to her face. Her movements were meticulous and gentle, and she was very careful not to hurt her.

At this moment, Qiao Suluo was slightly moved. She never expected that Que Hongjin could be so thoughtful and gentle. Que Hongjin had never been like this before.

However, looking into his eyes, Qiao Suluo knew that he was simply taking care of her and had no other intentions. His gaze was also very calm when he looked at her.

"Well, I feel much better now, I don't need to apply the mask anymore, let's eat first." He was so close, his elegant and pleasant scent was almost enveloping her completely, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to resist it if it stayed like this for too long.

Moreover, they all despise her, and even though they get along a little better now than before, there is still no affection between them.

Therefore, she cannot let herself get emotional, otherwise she will be the one who gets hurt in the end.

Hearing her voice, Que Hongjin assumed she was hungry and said gently, "Okay, let's eat first."

The three of them sat down at the table and began to eat. The dishes that Qiao Suluo had made with tofu these past few days were all very delicious.

And her steamed white flour buns were so fragrant and soft, with a subtle sweetness in them. They were even more delicious when eaten with other dishes.

After lunch, Qiao Suluo was about to clear the dishes when Que Hongjin naturally took them and said, "My lady, you are injured, let me do it."

Qiao Suluo was a little embarrassed, "Actually, I'm not that delicate."

Even though she was choked, he and Bai Qianlu treated her like a patient.

Que Hongjin's beautiful eyes seemed to have a gentle luster as she said softly, "My lady, you can be a little more delicate."

"There are things we can do."

Qiao Suluo felt a pang of emotion and couldn't help but say, "Que Hongjin, you are all so kind to me. I shouldn't have treated you so badly before."

They were able to take care of her despite past grievances, which touched her deeply.

Que Hongjin looked at her and said meaningfully, "It's not my fault, my wife."

"My lady, go and rest for a while. I'll make the dolls after I've finished tidying up."

After several days of practice, he became faster and faster at making rag dolls.

Bai Qianlu helped wipe the table, and he also said, "I'll go make konjac later, my wife, go and rest for a while."

There's still a lot of konjac we dug up yesterday. We didn't finish processing it all yesterday, but we can continue making konjac desserts today.

Qiao Suluo said, "It's okay, I feel much better. I'm going to make peach blossom wine."

When she got home, she had already taken out ten pounds of glutinous rice she bought and soaked it in a basin of water.

They've all eaten now, and the glutinous rice is already soaked.

The peach blossoms that were picked earlier had already been soaked in lightly salted water, washed, dried, and stored in a ceramic jar. Now they are ready to be used.

Que Hongjin watched her busy figure, lost in thought.

Qiao Suluo poured cold water into the pot, then placed a bamboo steamer on top, covered it with a clean cloth, and then poured in the soaked glutinous rice, spreading it evenly before steaming it over a fire...

Half an hour later, spread the peach blossoms evenly on the glutinous rice and continue steaming...

After steaming, pour out the glutinous rice peach blossoms and place them in a clean, sterile jar. Add cooled boiled water and let them cool for a while.

Once it has cooled down sufficiently, add the sweet wine yeast for fermentation.

Qiao Suluo entered the space shop, intending to use her points to exchange for sweet wine yeast.

She glanced at her points and found she only had a little over 300 points.

"I'll use these 300 points to buy a small diet pill."

You can probably only lose three pounds. It takes 10,000 points to buy a complete weight loss pill to lose 100 pounds.

She weighs 200 pounds now, and losing 100 pounds would be the weight she'd be happy with.

But 10,000 points is too much, so she thought she would take it one step at a time.

As for the antidote, she wasn't in a hurry. As long as her life wasn't in danger, that was fine. She wanted to lose weight first, since it was inconvenient for her to walk and work at 200 pounds.

The system knows that its host wants to lose weight, and indeed, it is inconvenient to complete the task with an obese body.

It thought for a moment and said, "Actually, host, you can ask your peacock beast husband for some peacock feathers. Although his true form is a peacock, it is not an ordinary peacock. His feathers are the hardest and are good materials for making peacock hidden weapons. So if you pluck more peacock feathers, you should be able to sell them for several thousand points. Host can then exchange them for more weight loss pills and lose dozens of pounds at once."
