Chapter 301: 20 taels of silver
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Chu Qingzhi was silent for a moment before asking, “How did they know that you are rich?”
Li Qingyin thought about it and guessed, “It should be because they found out that your family is rich and thought that you helped me…”
Chu Qingzhi didn’t say anything else and stayed silent until they reached the Chu Village. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Li Qingyu was shocked when she saw that Xu Wenlin’s head was covered in blood. She hurriedly took the child from Chu Qingzhi. “Qingyin, what happened?”
When Li Qingyin saw her sister, her tears burst again. “Third Sister, I…”
Li Qingyu’s heart ached. “Qingyin, don’t cry. Carry the child to my room first. Let’s talk in my room.”
Li Qingyin wiped her tears with her sleeve. “Yes.”
Li Qingyu carried Xu Wenlin to her and Chu Rong’s room. The Chu family followed behind…
Chu Qingzhi turned around and went into the forest.
The bamboo leaves grew very lushly. The carefully looked-after bamboo leaves now were big and tender. The newly planted bamboo sprouting had a tender green color.
When Chu Laipi saw Chu Qingzhi, he hurriedly ran towards her. “Sister Qingzhi, what brought you here?”
Chu Qingzhi glanced at the two of them and said, “My aunt was robbed just now.”

“Robbery? Outrageous!” Chu Laipi said excitedly, “Sister Qingzhi, what do you want us to do?”
Chu Qingzhi looked at the large forest of bamboo and said slowly, “They robbed twenty taels of silver from my aunt. Go and help me get it back.”
Chu Laipi looked indignant. “No problem. Leave this to us. Let’s go to the Xu Village.”
Chu Qingzhi reminded, “The person who robbed my aunt is her eldest brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Xu Fangjun and Chen Ruifeng. Don’t kill anyone. Otherwise, we’ll put Xujin in a difficult position. After all, he’s now working for the county office.”
Chu Laipi looked confident. “Sister Qingzhi, don’t worry. We’ve been hooligans for so many years and are very experienced. We won’t mess it up.”
Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Good, go ahead.”
After watching the hooligans leave, Chu Qingzhi returned home with a calm expression, as if nothing had happened.
The Xu Village.
Chu Laipi and Chu Peipei swaggered into the village.
Chu Laipi was fierce and looked like he was here to take revenge. He grabbed the collar of a man passing by and asked, “How do 1 get to Xu Fangjun’s house?”
The man was an honest villager. When he saw Chu Laipi’s fierce appearance, he immediately pointed in a direction. “That way.”
Chu Laipi threw him away and said, “Let’s go.”
Xu Fangjun and Chen Ruifeng were overjoyed after robbing five taels of silver. They were about to go to the county to shop and have a good meal when they saw two hooligans walking over.
Originally, Chu Laipi and Chu Peipei did not have a good life and were very thin. However, in the past six months, they had worked diligently and earned money. Their living conditions had improved and they had gained a lot of weight. Therefore, they looked especially burly. Just one of them was enough to make people afraid, let alone two…
Xu Fangjun and Chen Ruifeng’s expressions immediately changed. Chen Ruifeng timidly hid behind Xu Fangjun, looking nothing like the shrew woman who was robbing Li Qingyin just now. It was obvious that she bullied the weak and feared the strong.

Xu Fangjun pointed at the two of them. “What are you doing?”
“You robbed 20 taels of silver from Li Qingyin. Return it immediately.
Otherwise, I’ll beat you up.” As he spoke, Chu Laipi took out the dagger at his waist.
When Chen Ruifeng heard this, she could not help but shout, “We only took five taels, not twenty taels. Don’t slander us.”
Chu Laipi sneered. “Anyway, I remember that it’s 20 taels. Cut the crap. I want 20 taels, not a single scent less.”
Chen Ruifeng shouted, “We don’t have that much money…”
Chu Laipi waved at Chu Peipei. “Brother, catch Xu Fangjun and beat him up first!”
When Xu Fangjun saw that the other party was serious, he panicked. He quickly retreated and roared, “We don’t have money. Even if you beat me to death, I won’t have money.”
“Ah—” Chen Ruifeng was so frightened that she ran into the house and hid.
“I don’t have money, I don’t have money…” Xu Fangjun looked at the hooligans who were getting closer and closer in fear. His body trembled slightly, and a layer of cold sweat broke out.
He was naturally no match for them alone. He was caught and beaten up, screaming.
Chu Laipi kicked his lower abdomen and asked fiercely, “Are you going to return the money or not?”
Xu Fangjun hurriedly took out five taels of silver from his clothes and said nervously, “That’s all.”
Chu Laipi took the money bag and looked at it. “There’s still fifteen taels. Brother, go search the house.”
Chu Peipei immediately barged into the house and rummaged through the cabinets. The elders and children in the house were so frightened that they squatted in the corner and trembled.

In the end, he came to Xu Fangjun and Chen Ruifeng’s room. The door was closed…
Chu Peipei kicked open the wooden door. The moment he kicked it open, the house shook.
Chen Ruifeng was in the room, holding a stool. She stared at the door in fear and panic. However, she did not expect the other party to break in so quickly. Before she could react, the stool in her hand was snatched away!
“Where is the money!” Chu Peipei shouted. “If you don’t give me the money, I’ll sell you and your daughter.”
Chen Ruifeng was already terrified. After being threatened like this, she immediately begged. “No, don’t sell me. Don’t sell my daughter. I’ll give you money. I’ll give you money…”
After saying that, she went around to look for money. In the end, she took out all the money. “Take it, take it…”
Chu Peipei grabbed the money bag. “If only you were so obedient earlier. You wouldn’t have to suffer so much.”
Chen Ruifeng was so frightened that she lost all her strength and fell to the ground. All her family’s savings were gone now.
Xu Fangjun had been beaten up. At this moment, he was curled up in the courtyard like a shrimp and had not recovered from the pain…
Chu Laipi stepped on Xu Fangjun’s head and warned fiercely, “I’m telling you, if you cause Li Qingyin trouble again, I’ll destroy your family!”
“I won’t, I won’t…”
Chu Laipi kicked him again. “Let’s go.”
The two of them walked further and further away…
The villagers of Xu Village slowly gathered…
“What goes around comes around. They’ve always bullied Li Qingyin’s family. Now, they suffered the consequences of their actions.”
“That’s right. Not long ago, 1 saw Li Qingyin running to the county with her daughter. Xu Wenlin’s head was covered in blood. From the looks of it, they must have beaten her up.”
“They are even ruthless to such a young girl. That girl has always been very obedient. Now, it’s unknown if she’s dead or alive. Sigh…”
Chu Laipi completed the mission and gave 20 taels of silver to Chu Qingzhi.
Chu Qingzhi held the silver and praised, “Well done. In a while, each of you can go and get some ice cream bars to eat. If you like to eat rice dumplings, you can also get rice dumplings as a reward.”
The two of them were delighted. “Thank you..”

Chu Qingzhi brought the money to Li Qingyu’s room…
Everyone gathered in the room. The room was dark, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Chu Qingzhi placed the money in Li Qingyin’s hand. “Aunt, I’ll get someone to help you get the money back. In the future, they won’t dare to bully you anymore.”
Li Qingyin held the heavy money bag and was surprised. “Qingzhi, this… They didn’t take so much from me.”
Chu Qingzhi held Li Qingyin’s hand. “The rest is medical fees for my cousin. Take it.”
Li Qingyin asked worriedly, “Qingzhi, when did you get someone to take back the money? Are you injured? Xu Fangjun’s family is very shameless. How did they compromise?”
Chu Qingzhi said in a comforting tone, “The evil will be dealt with by the evil.
The people 1 sent are very reliable. Don’t worry.”
Li Qingyin believed Chu Qingzhi and slowly relaxed. “Qingzhi, thank you. Otherwise, I really don’t know what to do.”
Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “It’s fine. You’re Mother’s sister. We should take care of you.”
Xu Songnian walked over and knelt in front of Chu Qingzhi. He kowtowed to her. “Thank you, Cousin. When I grow up, I’ll protect you too. 1 won’t let anyone bully you.”
Chu Qingzhi helped the young man up and encouraged him, “Alright, I hope you can become a man soon.”
Xu Songnian nodded heavily.

Chu Qingzhi turned to Li Qingyu. “Mother, I still have something to do. Take good care of Aunt and cousins.”
Li Qingyu nodded. “1 know.”
Chu Qingzhi walked out of the new house and walked to the side.
Chu Xuhua’s house was being built next to the new house. It was still under construction.
After Chu Xuhua’s house was completed, they would begin building Chu Xujin’s house. Everything was going smoothly for the family.
When An Shanwu saw Chu Qingzhi walking over, he immediately stopped what he was doing and greeted her. “Miss Chu, what’s the matter?”
Chu Qingzhi nodded and said, “I want to build a beer workshop. The blueprint has been drawn. Do you have enough manpower?”
An Shanwu did not dare to make his rich client unhappy. He quickly said, “Sure, sure. Miss Chu, how soon do you want the workshop to be built?”
Chu Qingzhi thought for a while and said, “Three days.”
An Shanwu thought for a moment. “No problem. It’s just that transfering my men over to build the beer workshop will definitely slow down the process of the new house here.”
“It’s fine. Big Brother isn’t in a hurry to get the new house anyway.” She didn’t know why, but Big Brother and Shen Ruyue were still not very close. This made her a little anxious.
An Shanwu nodded and said, “Then I’ll arrange for people immediately. Miss Chu, please give me the blueprint.”
“I’ll go get it right away. I’ll meet you at the land I just bought in a while.”
“Okay.”
Chu Qingzhi was busy building the workshop. At the same time, a man and a woman arrived at the Chu Village in a carriage.

After Zhang Ziyang got out of the carriage, he looked around and frowned slightly. Life in this village was too bad. There were still people living in thatched houses. “Are you sure Ruyue is in this village?”
When Shen Ruyue was a servant girl in the Shen family, she had once been made a scapegoat for her master.
At that time, the one who was poisoned was Madam Zhang, and this Zhang Ziyang was Madam Zhang’s son.
Lu Tianlan nodded affirmatively. “I met Ruyue once in the county. Ruyue told me herself.”
Lu Tianlan was Shen Ruyue’s good friend when they were both servant girls. Now, they had no contact.
“There are so many families in this village. Which family does Ruyue live in?” Zhang Ziyang wondered if Shen Ruyue was already married.
Lu Tianlan looked around the village. “Let’s go and ask. Ruyue is so beautiful and she’s an outsider. The villagers will definitely know.”
Zhang Ziyang had no other choice. “Go and ask.”
At this moment, a group of innocent children ran over…
Lu Tianlan took out a plate of snacks and called out to the children. “I’ll ask you something. If you tell me, I’ll give you this snack.”
Chu Junbao squeezed to the front. “Big Sister, what do you want to ask?”
Lu Tianlan put on a friendly face and asked, “Is there a beautiful girl called Shen Ruyue in your village?”
Chu Junbao nodded. “Yes, she’s Sister Qingzhi’s head housekeeper. She’s amazing. Why are you looking for her?”
Hearing this, Lu Tianlan and Zhang Ziyang looked at each other. From what this child said, it seemed like Ruyue was doing well.
Lu Tianlan smiled and asked, “Can you take us to see her?”

Chu Junbao did not respond to Lu Tianlan’s words. Instead, he pointed at the snack in her hand.
Lu Tianlan placed all the snacks in Chu Junbao’s hands. “Can you bring us to find her now?”
Chu Junbao waved his hand. “Follow me.”
A group of children led the way. Lu Tianlan and Zhang Ziyang followed and finally arrived at the destination.
Chu Junbao still knew that he could not casually bring strangers into Chu Qingzhi’s house. “Sister Ruyue is inside. Wait a moment. 1’11 call her.”
When Zhang Ziyang saw the dilapidated house, his frown deepened. Why did Ruyue live in such a place? It was too shabby.
Moreover, what was going on? In such a dilapidated house, there were so many people coming in and out. There were even boxes being carried out. What were they doing? Could it be that they were doing something illegal?
The more he thought about it, the more worried Zhang Ziyang became. He wanted to take Ruyue away.
When Lu Tianlan saw such a dilapidated house, she muttered in her heart, After all, Ruyue used to be Madam’s personal servant girl. Her living conditions are awful now.
When Shen Ruyue heard Chu Junbao say that someone was looking for her, she thought that it was a customer who was looking for her to discuss business. She quickly walked out.
Usually, many servants from big families would come over to order a small portion of ice cream bars and rice dumplings to entertain guests. The business had always been very good.
Shen Ruyue was stunned when she saw who it was.
Lu Tianlan quickly went up to Shen Ruyue and held her hand. She said with heartache, “Ruyue, you’ve lost weight.”
Shen Ruyue thought to herself that she had been living such a fulfilling and busy life every day. It was also summer, so how could she not lose weight? “Why are you here?”
Lu Tianlan said excitedly, “We specially came to look for you.”
Zhang Ziyang looked at Shen Ruyue with some lust. In his impression, Shen Ruyue wore a light yellow dress all year round. Her words and actions were very restrained. She was rigid and unapproachable.
At this moment, Shen Ruyue was still wearing a light yellow dress. She had lost weight, and her skin was still fair and soft. However, there was a liveliness in her eyes. She was like a lit lamp, dazzling people, and the more one looked at her, the more charming she became.
“Ruyue, do you still remember me?”
Shen Ruyue looked at Zhang Ziyang. It had only been half a year, but she felt as if a lifetime had passed. “Young Master Zhang, why are you here?” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
“I came all the way here to look for you.” Zhang Ziyang was relieved to see that Shen Ruyue’s hair was not combed up.
Girls of this era had their hair draped over their shoulders before they got married. Once they got married, their hair would be combed up to their heads, which meant that they were already married..
Chapter 303: Expressing Her Feelings
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
A trace of irritation flashed across Shen Ruyue’s eyes. She said coldly, “Young Master Zhang, you shouldn’t come.”
He did not come to see her while she was in prison because of him. Now, he came to look for her. How ironic.
When Zhang Ziyang saw how cold Shen Ruyue’s attitude was towards him, he panicked and quickly said, “Ruyue, I’m really here to bring you back. Look at this broken house you are living in. You don’t have to live such a life.”
Shen Ruyue took a step back and said firmly, “I’m happy with my current life.
You don’t have to worry about me. Please leave.”
Zhang Ziyang insisted, “Ruyue, don’t be like this. I know you hate me, but I had no choice back then. Now that you’ve cleared your name, I have to take you away.”
Shen Ruyue’s expression turned serious. “I told you, I’m not leaving. I like this place very much.”
“Ruyue, don’t be angry. I was in the wrong in the past. I’ll make it up to you in the future. I’ll treat you well.” Originally, Zhang Ziyang didn’t have any feelings for Shen Ruyue, but when he suddenly couldn’t see her one day, he started to miss her. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Shen Ruyue was so angry that she wanted to laugh. “I don’t need it. I’m doing well.”
Zhang Ziyang thought that Shen Ruyue was throwing a tantrum. “Ruyue, you used to live a luxurious life. Now that you’re living in this shabby house, how can your life be good?”

For the first time, Shen Ruyue was so angry that she wanted to hit someone. She took two deep breaths to calm down and asked, “Alright, Young Master Zhang, you said that you want to take me away. I wonder where you plan to take me?”
See, Ruyue gave in so quickly. She must be throwing a tantrum just now. Zhang Ziyang said in a somewhat benevolent tone, “I’m already married. My mother doesn’t object to me taking a concubine. Come with me. I can either buy you a house outside or bring you back home.”
Shen Ruyue had no feelings for Zhang Ziyang to begin with. When she heard this, she only felt that the man in front of her was disgusting and narcissistic to the point of hopelessness. Even if she was blind, she would not fall for such a man. “I want to ask, why should I be a concubine!”
Zhang Ziyang said matter-of-factly, “You’re just a servant girl. If you don’t want to be a concubine, do you want to be the main wife?”
Chu Qingzhi, who just came out with the blueprint, was speechless.
Ruyue, if you don’t slap him, you’ll be letting yourself down.
Smack!
The slap was very loud and did not disappoint Chu Qingzhi. Shen Ruyue clenched her fist. Her palm hurt a little, but it felt good. “Zhang Ziyang, you’re very disgusting, do you know that?”
Zhang Ziyang’s face was slapped to the side. He found it unbelievable. That well-behaved girl actually learned to hit people like a shrew. But why was he still reluctant to give up on her?
“Ruyue, as long as you can calm down and come back with me, I’m willing to be slapped a few more times by you.”
Lu Tianlan was dumbfounded.
Was this still the arrogant Young Master Zhang she knew?
Shen Ruyue didn’t know what to say.
Was he a masochist?
He was already rejected, but he still insisted on taking her back to be a concubine. Didn’t men in ancient times have strong self-esteem? Was this guy an exception?
The children were speechless.
This person was probably suffering some brain damage. He did not run after being slapped. If it were them, they would have run from the east to the west of the village.
The villagers who passed by were speechless.
Ruyue’s temper was usually one of the best. This man was capable. He turned a cat into a tiger.
Seeing that Zhang Ziyang was so difficult to get rid of, Shen Ruyue bit the bullet and said, “Young Master Zhang, I’ll say it one last time. I won’t go with you. I have someone 1 like here, and we’re about to get married.”
Chu Xuhua, who had just returned from a business meeting, heard this.
Zhang Ziyang instantly exploded when he heard this. “Who? Who do you like? Call him out. I’m going to beat him to death!”
Shen Ruyue’s beautiful eyes darkened. “Young Master Zhang, do you know what you’re talking about?”
Zhang Ziyang threatened, “Shen Ruyue, with the Zhang family’s power, I can kill anyone in this village with a finger. If you dare to marry someone else, I’ll destroy him.”
Chu Xuhua walked over and shielded Shen Ruyue behind him. He said in a deep voice, “How impressive. You want to kill us in our territory?”

His gaze slowly moved up and landed on Chu Xuhua’s handsome face. “Who are you?”
Chu Xuhua’s expression was cold as he said word by word, “I’m the one who wants to marry Ruyue. If you have the ability, come and kill me. But before you kill me, I’ll make sure you perish with me.”
Shen Ruyue looked up at Chu Xuhua’s back. For a moment, she felt a sense of security. A voice in her heart told her that she had not chosen the wrong person.
Zhang Ziyang could not be eye level with Chu Xuhun. Chu Xuhua was tall and seemed to have completely enveloped him with his broad shoulder, giving off a strong oppression.
Chu Xuhua took a step closer to Zhang Ziyang. Zhang Ziyang quickly retreated. The fear in his eyes was obvious. He swallowed his saliva. “W-What are you doing?”
Chu Xuhua’s eyes were cold as he reached out to grab Zhang Ziyang’s collar. “You’re the young master of the county. This is not a place you should come. Please go back and don’t come again.”
If he were to hit this fellow, he would definitely be in endless trouble. He wanted to end this matter in a peaceful manner.
However, if this guy was stubborn, he could not be blamed for using violence.
Zhang Ziyang’s body stiffened, and he was even more flustered. However, he still wouldn’t give up on Shen Ruyue. “Chu Xuhua, Shen Ruyue is mine. Return her to me.”
Chu Xuhua clenched his fists and said coldly, “Ruyue is my wife. I won’t give her to you.”
Zhang Ziyang glared at Chu Xuhua and mocked, “You’re not married yet. What right do you have to say that? Ruyue won’t like you. She likes me. Besides, she’ll only suffer if she marries you. Look at your shabby house.”
Chu Xuhua pointed at the most luxurious house in the village. “That’s my house!”
Zhang Ziyang turned around and felt as if he had been slapped in the face again. “Even so, your family is in the village. Can you compare to a rich family in the county?”
Shen Ruyue said coldly, “I like Xuhua. He’s the one I want to marry. Young Master Zhang, leave. You are not welcome here.”
Chu Xuhua’s heart was pounding. He turned around and looked at Shen Ruyue. Shen Ruyue quickly lowered her head. If not for the fact that she wanted to make Zhang Ziyang give up, she would not have said these words. It was too embarrassing.
Chu Xuhua reached out and held Shen Ruyue’s hand. Then, he said angrily to Zhang Ziyang, “But you are welcome to our wedding banquet, Young Master Zhang.”
Zhang Ziyang looked at the two of them holding hands and was furious. “You adulterous couple!!”
Unable to stay any longer, he left the Chu Village in a huff..
Chapter 304: Wolf Cubs
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Chu Xuhua led Shen Ruyue to the stable…
Fu Bao and Hou Fu were sleeping in the stable. With their eyes narrowed, they looked very at peace.
In front of the stable, Chu Xuhua held Shen Ruyue’s shoulders and asked her very seriously, “Ruyue, I want to marry you. I’ll treat you well. Are you willing to marry me?”
Shen Ruyue looked up at Chu Xuhua’s eyes. Those eyes were bright and filled with her reflection. When she saw this, her eyes suddenly teared up.
“Xuhua, I’ve been waiting for you to say this for a long time.”
Chu Xuhua’s heart skipped a beat and he pulled Shen Ruyue into his arms. “I’m sorry for making you wait for so long. It’s my fault.”
He said gently, “Ruyue, the first time I saw you, I felt that you were so beautiful that I didn’t dare to look at you directly. After I got to know you, I felt that you were so capable, literate, could help Fifth Sister, and knew so many things…”
“If Fifth Sister is like the moon, you’re like the stars beside her.”
“As for me, I’m a very ordinary farmer. Not only was my first engagement canceled, but I’m also illiterate. I only know how to farm. Sometimes, I even despise myself.”
“I’m worthless. How would I dare to dream of having stars?!”
Shen Ruyue hugged Chu Xuhua’s waist tightly and tears welled up in her eyes. “Xuhua, actually, I’m not as good as you think…”
She told Chu Xuhua about her having been to the prison. She could hide it from others, but not to Chu Xuhua.

Chu Xuhua’s heart ached. “I don’t mind. You were wronged in the first place. The one to blame is that Madam Zhang. She ate things she shouldn’t and accused you like a mad dog. She should be the one to be punished.”
“Ruyue, don’t tell anyone else about what you’ve suffered. Don’t tell Mother and the others either. I have to emphasize that I really don’t mind, but if word gets out, people will point a finger at you. It won’t be good for you.”
Shen Ruyue nodded and agreed happily. “Other than you and Qingzhi, no one else knows.”
Chu Xuhua smiled and said, “Ruyue, I’ll tell Mother about our marriage later and ask her to prepare a betrothal gift. Other than Brother An and Brother Nie, do you have any other people you are close to?”
Shen Ruyue shook her head. “No.”
Chu Xuhua said gently, “Then I’ll let Brother An and Brother Nie be the marriage witness, okay?”
“Ok.” Shen Ruyue leaned against Chu Xuhua’s chest and smiled with happy tears in her eyes.
In the future, she would no longer be a drifter.
For an orphan girl, having a family was her greatest wish in life.
Li Qingyu was cleaning the chickens with everyone. She was stunned when she inadvertently saw Chu Xuhua and Shen Ruyue coming over hand in hand. What is going on?
When she saw their happy faces, she guessed that Chu Xuhua had something to tell her. She quickly washed her hands and walked up to them.
At the new house, many people were gathered here to help prepare the banquet tomorrow.
Chu Xuhua wanted everyone to know about this joyous news. “Mother, I have something to tell you.”
Li Qingyu had already guessed half of it and was already grinning. “What do you want to tell me?”
In fact, she had already regarded Ruyue as her daughter-in-law in her heart.

Chu Xuhua glanced at everyone and said loudly, “Mother, can you help me prepare the betrothal gifts? I want to propose marriage to Ruyue.”
Li Qingyu’s smile reached her ears and she agreed readily. “Alright, I’ll prepare immediately. Three days later, you can officially propose to Ruyue.”
The villagers immediately congratulated her. “Qingyu, congratulations.”
“How wonderful. Xuhua is the child we watched grow up. He’s finally getting married.”
“The children have all grown up and are married one after another. Qingyu, your family is really blessed.”
Li Qingyu accepted all the good words and smiled. “When Xuhua gets married, please come and help again.”
“Of course, of course. We have to come and join in the fun.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Li Qingyu was proud. “Alright, when the wedding date is set, I’ll inform you immediately.”
“Okay…”
Li Qingyu happily pulled Shen Ruyue into the house…
“Ruyue, do you have any special requests? Now that our family is well off, we’ll definitely satisfy all your requests. We will definitely prepare a grand wedding for you.”
Shen Ruyue hugged Li Qingyu and felt a lump in her throat. “Aunt, I don’t have any requests. I just want to marry Xuhua and build a family with him.”
Li Qingyu patted Shen Ruyue’s hand. “I understand you. Xuhua is a good child. He will treat you well. When you marry over, you can live in a new house. It’s just the two of you. You can eat by yourselves or come over to eat with us. It’s up to you…”
Shen Ruyue was very touched. It was rare to see such an open-minded and kind mother-in-law. “Thank you, Aunt.”

What other brides have, you will also have it.”
Li Qingyu treated Shen Ruyue as her daughter and daughter-in-law.
Shen Ruyue could not help but shed tears of joy. “Thank you.”
Li Qingyu smiled gently. “Ruyue, my good child.” In the end, Shen Ruyue was only 17 or 18 years old. She looked mature, but at the bottom of her heart, she was still a child.
At the foot of the mountain.
An Shanwu looked at the large land and was very puzzled. “Miss Chu, you bought such a large area just to build a workshop?”
Chu Qingzhi said, “That’s right. Anyway, it’s not expensive. It’s only 20 taels.”
An Shanwu thought to himself that rich people are so willful.
“Miss Chu, are you still going to modify the blueprint?”
Chu Qingzhi shook her head. “There’s no need to modify it.”
An Shanwu said, “Then I’ll arrange for my people to break the ground right away.” Building a workshop was not like building a house. There was no need to find an auspicious date.
Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Okay.”
Then, An Shanwu took the blueprint and called 15 people over. They immediately got busy in an orderly manner.
Chu Qingzhi turned around and walked into the forest.
She planned to go to the place where the wolves gathered and see if there were any abandoned wolf cubs. She would pick a few and give one to Li Qingyin. The rest would be used to guard the workshop at the foot of the mountain.
The place where the wolves gathered was usually deep in the forest, near the mountains…
After Chu Qingzhi entered the forest, she flew deeper and landed beside a cypress tree.
There was a grassland around ten square meters at the side. A group of wolves was resting there. When they saw Chu Qingzhi coming over, they only glanced at her and continued to sleep with their eyes closed.
Chu Qingzhi looked at the wolf pack and asked, “Are there any wolf cubs?”
A wolf with a tuft of black fur on its head ran over and barked at Chu Qingzhi before running in a direction. «

Chu Qingzhi raised her eyebrows and followed.
She turned, turned again, crossed a stream, and then there was a “woof” sound…
Chu Qingzhi did not stop and flew towards the voice.
It was a lush bush of fern. Under the fern was a nest that looked like a chicken nest. Beside the nest lay a dead female wolf, and in the nest were three hungry wolf cubs.
The wolf cubs were all white and looked very similar to dogs. However, their mouths were slightly longer and more aggressive.
Chu Qingzhi reached out her index finger and tapped the foreheads of the three wolf cubs. Then, she cast a spell on the dead female wolf and buried it.
After that, she grabbed the three wolf cubs one by one and placed them on her arm before flying out of the forest.
Her luck was not bad. She found three wolf cubs.
An Shanwu was stunned when he saw Chu Qingzhi walking out with three wolf cubs.
Wolves lived in packs and were the most protective of their cubs. How did she take away the wolf cubs?
He could not help but take another look at Chu Qingzhi. She did not look injured at all. Instead, she was calm and composed. This girl… was not simple.
“Miss Chu, this wolf cubs…”
Chu Qingzhi said casually, “1 picked them up in the forest.”

Then, Chu Qingzhi walked away under the admiring gazes of everyone. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Wu Yaqing was playing on the swing. When she saw Chu Qingzhi carrying the wolf cubs home, she immediately ran over excitedly. “Ah!! Qingzhi, where did you pick up so many puppies?”
Chu Qingzhi glanced at her. “Yaqing, have you seen a wolf?”
“Yes, but…” Wu Yaqing reacted and shouted excitedly, “All!!! Qingzhi, are you holding wolf cubs?”
These words attracted the attention of everyone around. Qingzhi was really bold. She even dared to take away wolf cubs. However, Qingzhi knew martial arts, so taking away a few wolf cubs shouldn’t be a problem.
Yes, the villagers had a blind faith in Chu Qingzhi now. No matter what unexpected things she did, everyone felt that it was normal.
Li Qingyu looked around and pointed at the empty chicken coop in the corner. “Qingzhi, put them in the nest.”
“Okay.” Chu Qingzhi walked over and placed the three wolf cubs in the chicken coop. As soon as she put them down, they started to whimper.
A villager asked, “Are you hungry?”
“I think so,” a villager said quickly. “Qingzhi, wait a moment. I’ll go home and squeeze some goat milk to feed them.”
Chu Qingzhi thanked her. “Auntie, thank you.”
The auntie waved her hand and walked out of the courtyard. “You’re welcome.”
Chu Qingzhi waved at Xu Songnian, who was standing at the door. “Songgnian, come here.”
Xu Songnian hurriedly ran over. “Fifth Cousin.” He looked up respectfully.
Chu Qingzhi pointed at the wolf cubs. “Feed them later. When they can live without milk, take one home to guard the house. No one will dare to cause trouble at your house in the future.”
Xu Songnian’s eyes lit up, filled with gratitude. “Thank you, Fifth Cousin.”

Chu Qingzhi patted Xu Songnian’s shoulder. “You must take good care of the wolf cub. You can’t abuse it, understand?”
Xu Songnian hurriedly said, “Fifth Cousin, 1 can’t wait to like it. Why would I abuse it?”
Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Good.”
The auntie quickly brought the goat milk over. “Qingzhi, it’s still warm. Feed it.”
Xu Songnian took the bowl. “Thank you, Aunt. Fifth Cousin asked me to feed the wolf cubs.”
“Then be careful.”
“I know.”
Xu Songnian placed the bowl on the ground, then carried the three wolf cubs out and placed them beside the bowl.
The three wolf cubs smelled the milk. They were probably starving. They stuck their heads out and drank it in a hurry.
At this moment, Shen Ruyue walked over. Her fair face was as red as a peach blossom in March. She said shyly, “Qingzhi, 1 have good news for you.”
Chu Qingzhi looked over and asked curiously, “What good news?”
Shen Ruyue whispered shyly, “Xuhua is going to propose to me.”
A trace of surprise flashed across Chu Qingzhi’s eyes. She smiled and asked, “Why did my brother suddenly become enlightened?”
Shen Ruyue pointed in the direction of the old house. “Just now, Zhang Ziyang said that he would take me away. Then, Xuhua…”
Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Looks like my brother just needed a push.”
Shen Ruyue didn’t know whether to agree or disagree…

Chu Qingzhi suddenly said seriously, “I’ll definitely urge my brother to prepare the betrothal gifts well and not let my sister-in-law suffer.”
Shen Ruyue pouted. “We’re not married yet.”
Chu Qingzhi smiled. “It’s only a matter of time.”
Shen Ruyue’s face turned even redder. She stomped her feet and ran away shyly.
Chu Qingzhi looked at Shen Ruyue’s back and laughed. She looked cuter when she was shy.
Zhang residence.
Zhang Ziyang pushed the door open and entered the room in exasperation, slamming the door. “I won’t let Chu Xuhua off. I definitely won’t!”
Lu Tianlan followed him into the room. “Young Master, we can’t act rashly.”
Zhang Ziyang was indignant. “Shen Ruyue is so beautiful. How can I let a boor have her? Only 1 am worthy of Ruyue.”
Lu Tianlan didn’t think so. In fact, she felt that Chu Xuhua was not bad. He was protective of Ruyue and looked quite responsible. Moreover, Chu Xuhua had a powerful sister who was personally conferred as a baroness by the emperor. Even the county magistrate respected her. They weren’t just a farmers’ family.
As a servant girl, if she could marry into such a family and become the main wife, she would also be willing.
However, she wouldn’t say this. “Young Master, since Ruyue already has someone in her heart, why don’t you just give up?”
“Give up?” Zhang Ziyang sneered, “That’s impossible. Ruyue can only marry me. Only I am worthy of her.”
Normal girls would not be willing to be a concubine. Moreover, it seemed that Chu Xuhua’s family was not bad either. “Young Master, you’re already married.”
However, Zhang Ziyang felt that it was normal for a man to have multiple concubines. Moreover, he misinterpreted his unwillingness to give up on Shen Ruyan as a sign of his deep affection. “So what if I’m married? I’ll dote on her if she becomes my concubine.”
Lu Tianlan couldn’t stand it anymore.
“Young Master, do you really like Ruyue?”
Zhang Ziyang said without hesitation, “Of course. If I don’t like her, will I look for her? If I don’t like her, why do i want to bring her back?”
“Young Master, what do you plan to do next then?”
Zhang Ziyang clenched his fists and said hatefully, “As long as Chu Xuhua is gone, Shen Ruyue will be mine.”
Lu Tianlan’s heart skipped a beat.. “Young Master, are you going to kill Chu Xuhua?”
