Chapter 576: I still don’t have enough experience!
"Tell me, what are you two hiding from me?" After entering the study, Mrs. Li looked at Mr. Li and Su Qing and asked calmly.
Without waiting for Su Qing and her grandson to speak, Mrs. Li glared at Mr. Li and said, "Don't you know how dangerous Xiqing Mountain is? Qingqing is young and kind-hearted. After hearing what Cao Zhengming said, she was willing to go through fire and water to help more people. What about you? Not only did you not stop me, you also stopped me from stopping you. What do you mean, old man?"
Just now, when Su Qing said that they wanted to go to Xiqing Mountain together, Mrs. Li wanted to stop her, but was stopped by Mr. Li. Mrs. Li didn't want to argue with Mr. Li in front of outsiders, so she had to endure it secretly, and now she was scolding Mr. Li.
Mr. Li looked at Su Qing and raised his eyebrows slightly: Look, your grandma is really angry.
Su Qing blinked at Mr. Li and said: I will comfort you.
Seeing this, Mrs. Li slammed the table and said, "I'm still here. What on earth are you two hiding from me? Tell me now."
As she said this, Old Mrs. Li looked at Su Qing. She couldn't bear to blame her obedient granddaughter, so she turned around and scolded Old Mr. Li again.
Mr. Li: ...
Su Qing hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Li's arm: "Grandma."
Mrs. Li paused for a moment and patted Su Qing's head gently: "Qingqing, I didn't scare you, did I?"
Mr. Li: ...This differential treatment shouldn’t be too obvious.
Su Qing leaned against Old Lady Li like a spoiled child, and said in a sweet voice, "Grandma, you didn't scare me."
To be honest, if it was in her previous life, Su Qing would never have thought that one day she would say such coquettish words, but in this life, she has a family that truly loves her!
Su Qing smiled and said to Mrs. Li: "Grandma, in fact, grandpa and I did hide something from you. Don't blame grandpa. The reason why grandpa didn't stop me from going to Xiqing Mountain was because he knew that I was capable and would not be in danger."
"Nonsense." Old Madam Li frowned and said, "There are many unpredictable dangers in the mountains. Not to mention the wild animals, if you encounter any poisonous miasma, it will be fatal. Although you have been to the mountains a few times, it is not a joke. Be obedient and don't go to the mountains if you can."
"Grandma." Su Qing's voice was much softer: "There is something I need to tell you. It's about some of my abilities."
Hearing Su Qing's words, Mr. Li did not stop her. Although he did not want more people to know about Su Qing's special abilities, it was okay to let the old woman know. The old woman loved Su Qing more than she did.
"What skill?" Old Mrs. Li asked subconsciously.
Su Qing said, "Grandma, I'm giving you a heads-up in advance. You should be mentally prepared and don't be scared."
"Your grandma is not that weak. She has been through a lot. She won't be scared." Old Mrs. Li said confidently. She has even experienced gunfire and hail of bullets. What else could scare her?
Su Qing smiled and said softly: "Grandma, I actually have some ability to control plants. If we go into the mountains, it will be safer than outside the mountains. The mountains are full of various plants, and these plants can be controlled by me, so nothing in the mountains can hurt me."
After hearing what Su Qing said, Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, and asked hesitantly after a while: "Controlling plants? Is it true?"
Her obedient granddaughter wouldn't have made up those words just to comfort her. Could it be that the old man believed them?
This stupid old man!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Li glared at Mr. Li fiercely.
Mr. Li: ...What an unexpected disaster!
As soon as Su Qing saw Mrs. Li's expression, she knew she didn't believe it, so she simply took out a vine seed and induced it to grow in front of Mrs. Li.
Suddenly, Mrs. Li’s eyes widened.
She must not have slept well last night, so she had hallucinations today. How come she saw a seed grow into a seedling in the blink of an eye, and it grew so long!
"Grandma!" Su Qing's voice brought Mrs. Li back to her senses. She looked at Su Qing in shock, then at the vine, then at Su Qing, then at the vine again, staring at the vine swaying in the air, unable to believe her eyes.
"Grandma, this is my special ability, you see it." Su Qing said, "I can control plants at will and make them work for me, so you really don't have to worry about me going into the mountains."
"It's actually true." Old Mrs. Li murmured softly.
"Yes." Su Qing smiled, and then she controlled the tip of the vine to swing in front of Mrs. Li: "Touch it, it's very cute."
Looking at the vine that seemed to be greeting her, Mrs. Li hesitantly reached out her hand and gently touched the branches and leaves of the vine. Feeling the real plant under her hand, she opened her mouth for a long time before she exclaimed in surprise: "It's really real."
Oh my, she said she was knowledgeable, but it turns out she is still not well-informed!
At this point, Mrs. Li finally believed that her granddaughter had special abilities.
Then, Mrs. Li thought of something more serious. She looked at Su Qing nervously: "Qingqing, besides me and your grandfather, who else knows about this?"
"There are also my eldest uncle and Uncle Gu. Only the four of you know about this." Su Qing said hurriedly, "Grandma, I know you are worried. Don't worry, no one else will know about this."
Mrs. Li turned to look at Mr. Li and said, "I'm telling you, old man, if you dare to let more people know about Qingqing's ability, I will never forgive you. Also, you must make it clear to Fenghuo and Xinsheng that Qingqing's ability must not be leaked out again, not even a little bit."
Mr. Li said hurriedly, "Do I need you to remind me? Don't worry, I know the seriousness of this matter. Fenghuo and Xinsheng will not tell anyone about this."
"That's good." Mrs. Li gave Mr. Li some more instructions before saying to Su Qing, "Qingqing, you shouldn't tell me such an important thing. You can't even tell your grandfather. You should keep it to yourself. That's the only way to be safe."
Mrs. Li's exhortation warmed Su Qing's heart, so she smiled and said, "Grandma, I will only tell you, and I won't tell anyone else."
Mr. Li coughed a few times and said, "Qingqing used this ability to save Xinsheng's life and helped Fenghuo and Xinsheng solve a major case. We were all discussing this in the study before. And the case of the Akita family that you know about was discovered by Qingqing with this ability. Otherwise, we would probably still be kept in the dark by those Japanese thieves."
Old Mrs. Li hugged Su Qing in her arms with heartache. She knew that her obedient granddaughter was the best in the world.
