Chapter 611: A Crab Feast

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The atmosphere became a bit tense.

At this moment, Tang Jinghong walked in with a box in his hand. “Qingzhi.”

His probing gaze swept over Consort Xin, wondering who she was.

Chu Qingzhi pointed to a seat beside her, signaling Tang Jinghong to sit down, “I thought you would come later, I haven’t started preparing dinner yet.”

In Consort Xin’s ears, this sounded like someone was wasting her time, and she should have started dinner preparations earlier. She became increasingly frustrated.

Tang Jinghong said, “It’s alright, we can prepare dinner together later.”

Consort Xin finally couldn’t sit still any longer. She stood up and said, “Chu Qingzhi, in the future, if there’s nothing important, please don’t see Tingzhao to avoid misunderstandings.”

Chu Qingzhi, clearly annoyed, replied, “That makes sense, but please control your son better. He shouldn’t always be coming to me without any reason.” “You…” Consort Xin couldn’t take this humiliation any longer and left abruptly. After Consort Xin walked far away, Chu Qingzhi took the initiative to talk about the ins and outs of the matter. “That person just now was Consort Xin, also Li Tingzhao’s mother, and also the nun who told us about the map…”

After hearing the whole story, Tang Jinghong said, “Put the cart before the horse. She should be disciplining her own son. You don’t have to care about her.”

These words soothed the discomfort in Chu Qingzhi’s heart. She asked, “Will you misunderstand me?”

“No, with your personality, if you don’t want to be with me, you’ll say it directly. You definitely won’t do this.” Tang Jinghong’s words were filled with trust and certainty.

Chu Qingzhi took the initiative to hold Tang Jinghong’s hand. Her eyes curved. “I’ll make you a delicious dinner tonight.”

“Okay, but there’s something I have to tell you first.” Tang Jinghong handed the box in his hand to Chu Qingzhi. “The emperor asked me to give this to you. He said that it’s to compensate you.”

“Compensate me?” Chu Qingzhi opened the box curiously. It was another golden box of sunflower seeds.

“That’s what the Emperor said.”

Chu Qingzhi thought for a while and understood. It should be about the couplet. The Emperor did not punish the two of them severely. He thought that she would be unhappy, so he gave her money.

“Are the families of Yan Jingkui and Luo Jisheng involved in something?” she asked.

“Their father seems to be building a dike on the Wei River.”

With the truth revealed, Chu Qingzhi closed the box and stopped discussing the couplet matter, “Let’s go to the kitchen.”

Zhou Family’s Pearl Farm.

Zhou Xiangfu visited the farm again to check on the oysters, which had concerned him day and night, “How are they doing?”

The manager happily reported, “The oysters aren’t dying anymore. Those that were close to death have recovered after the medicine was applied. Miss Chu is truly remarkable.”

Zhou Xiangfu heaved a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face. “Good, that’s great.”

A staff member walked over with a medium-sized box. “Master, the deformed pearls have been washed and collected in this box. Take a look.”

Zhou Xiangfu opened the box, took a quick look, then held onto it, “You may go now.”

“Yes.”

After giving some instructions to the manager, Zhou Xiangfu returned to the city with the box of pearls.

In the kitchen.

Chu Qingshuang entered the kitchen, “Fifth sister, someone outside asked me to give this to you.”

Chu Qingzhi was busy handling river crabs and couldn’t use her hands, so she quickly scanned the box with her divine sense. It was a box of pearls. She hadn’t expected Zhou Xiangfu to send them so quickly.

“Qingshuang, put the box in my room.”

“Okay.”

“Spicy river crab!”

“Steamed river crab!”

“Fried crab roe buns!”

Chu Qingzhi listed the dishes one by one, along with some other home-cooked dishes, filling the table.

It was everyone’s first time eating river crabs. They looked appetizing and smelled good, but everyone hesitated on how to eat them, holding their chopsticks uncertainly.

“This is how you eat river crabs.” Chu Qingzhi demonstrated the method by taking a crab to her bowl, “First, cut off the crab legs and claws, remove the navel lid on the crab, discard the crab intestines, and open the crab shell…”

The autumn river crabs were large and plump, full of enticing crab roe.

The method was simple, and everyone quickly learned after watching.

Everyone then started trying the crabs, initially cautious, but after the first bite, they found them delicious and began to enjoy themselves heartily.

Soon, the table was piled with shells.

Wu Yaqing licked her fingers, “I didn’t expect river crabs to be edible, and they’re quite tasty, though the meat is a bit scarce.”

Chu Qingyue nodded, “I also find them delicious, with a unique flavor of freshness and a hint of sweetness.”

Chu Xuyuan ate three crabs in a row, finding them to his liking, “Sister, let’s catch some more tomorrow?”

“River crabs are cooling in nature, you can’t eat too much. We’ll go again in a few days.”

“Understood, we’ll listen to Fifth Sister.”

Tang Jinghong took an empty bowl, carefully removed the meat from five crabs, and served it to Chu Qingzhi, “You’ve worked hard preparing so many dishes. Have some ready-to-eat crab meat.”

Chu Qingzhi looked at the crab meat in front of her, her eyes curving in a smile, “Thankyou.”

Some time later…

Chu Xuyao finished the last crab roe bun reluctantly, “It’s all gone, but 1 still want more.”

The three crab-based dishes were all devoured, which was a testament to their popularity.

Li Qingyu served Chu Xuyao a bowl of soup, “In a few days, we’ll all go to the river to pick crabs again.”

Hearing this, Chu Xuyao perked up and nodded. “Ok.”

In the blink of an eye, it was the 18th of September, the day before Chu Qingyue’s wedding.

Chu Qingyue brought a quilt into the room, “Mother, let me do it. You rest for a while.”

Li Qingyu shook his head and refused. “1’11 do it myself.”

Today, Chu Xuhua and Shen Ruyue would be here. Li Qingyu was tidying up their room and doing everything herself.

Chu Qingyue put the quilt in the cabinet and turned back to Li Qingyu, “Mother, you’ve been busy these days, especially with my matters. Thank you.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Li Qingyu smiled and said, “You’re my daughter. It’s only right for me to do these for you. As long as you’re doing well, it’ll be enough.”

Chu Qingyue went forward and hugged Li Qingyu. She said gratefully, “Mother, thank you.”

When Li Qingyu thought of her daughter getting married, her heart was filled with reluctance. She patted Chu Qingyue’s back. “Silly child.”

Suddenly, Chu Qingyue said, “Mother, let’s call off the wedding, okay?” She couldn’t bear to leave home.

“What are you talking about?” Li Qingyu was startled, “You can’t say that. Marriage is a woman’s most important event, and yours is tomorrow. How can you say you don’t want to marry today?”

Chu Qingyue smiled, “I was just kidding, Mother. Don’t take it seriously.”

“Don’t say such things in the future.”

“Got it.”

Chu Xuyao’s voice came from outside, “Mother, Second Sister, is the room ready? Everyone is waiting for you.”

Chu Qingyue replied loudly, “Almost done..”

Chapter 612: Crab Catching by the River

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Riding in a carriage, they arrived at the riverside.

Everyone alighted from the carriage one by one, then walked to another carriage to get a bucket and prepare to pick up the river crabs.

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao walked at the front with small wooden buckets.

Chu Xuyuan turned around and asked Chu Qingzhi, “Fifth Sister, are there river crabs everywhere by the river?”

“Yes, but there are more nearby areas with more rocks.” River crabs like to stay in rock crevices.

“Got it.”

After looking around, the two of them changed directions and walked to the right. There was a riverbank with little aquatic grass on the other side. The shore was filled with rocks. There should be many river crabs.

The others followed them to the riverbank.

The rocks were teeming with river crabs, not just visible everywhere but often clustered together, creating a scene of abundance.

Chu Qingzhi casually picked several large river crabs and dropped them into the bucket, creating a series of satisfying clinks. “Everyone, pick the big ones, leave the small ones.”

“Okay.”

The elders sat on nearby rocks, not participating in the crab picking.

They were busy all day and had little rest, so Chu Qingzhi let them relax for the afternoon.

Since Chu Qingyue was about to be a bride and to avoid any injuries, Chu Qingzhi also didn’t let her pick crabs, sitting next to Li Qingyu and watching everyone.

Chu Xujin, carrying a wooden bucket, stayed close to Ge Lihua, acting like a guard, “Lihua, be careful. The crab claws can injure your hands.”

Ads by Pubfuture

“I’ll be careful.” Ge Lihua, always a pampered young lady, had never done such down-to-earth work before and found it very interesting. She kept picking, her bucket already containing three to four pounds of river crabs.

It was rare for Chu Xujin to see Ge Lihua so happy. When he saw her smile, he was also very happy.

Nearby, Chu Qingning picked up a river crab, its claws waving threateningly. She took it to scare Chu Qingshuang, “Qingshuang, are you scared?”

Chu Qingshuang also picked up a river crab, hers even bigger, and scared Chu Qingning back, “Fourth Sister, are you scared?”

Chu Qingning was bolder. Previously, she had even gone to see the corpse dissected. “What’s there to be afraid of? There are at least 15 river crabs that have died in my hands. They should be afraid of me!”

Chu Qingshuang was amused. “Fourth Sister, you’re right. 1 can’t refute you.”

Chu Qingyan, Chu Xuyuan, and Chu Xuyao followed around Chu Qingzhi and chattered. Chu Qingzhi felt like she was surrounded by a group of birds.

Chu Qingyan licked her lips. “Fifth Sister, how do we eat the river crabs today?” “How do you want to eat it?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chu Qingyan flattered, “Anything is fine. Anyway, whatever Fifth Sister cooks is delicious.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “I’ll make you fried crab roe buns. I saw that you liked them the last time.”

“Fifth Sister, you’re the best!” Chu Qingyan cheered.

The manager of the Zhou family’s Pearl Farm walked over with a smile on his face. “Miss Qingzhi, you’re here to catch river crabs again?”

Chu Qingzhi turned around. “Manager Zhou, what’s the matter?”

The manager said, “The oysters have been saved. I specially came to thank you.”

“It’s good that they’re okay.”

The steward cupped his hands. “Thank you.” He paused and said, “Do you need me to arrange some people to help you catch the river crabs?”

“No, we want to catch them ourselves.”

“Then I won’t disturb you further. If you need anything, you can always tell me.”

“Okay.”

The manager walked away and muttered to himself, “Chu Qingzhi doesn’t look any different, just like everyone else, but how is she so capable?”

Chu Xujin moved a rock away. “Wow! Did I just find a crab nest?”

Under the rock, a group of big and small river crabs seemed startled and scurried in all directions, muddying the water.

Chu Xujin and Ge Lihua hurriedly reached out to catch them. The crabs were quick, but they were quicker…

Both of them eyed the biggest crab and reached for it at the same time. Ge Lihua was quicker, but Chu Xujin accidentally caught her hand.

An awkward atmosphere ensued.

Realizing his mistake, Chu Xujin quickly withdrew his hand, his face slightly red, stammering, “So-sorry, I wasn’t paying attention, it was an accident…”

Ge Lihua placed the crab in the bucket as if nothing had happened. Her hand was still warm from his touch. Hesitating for a moment, she gently held Chu Xujin’s hand, “I don’t mind.”

Chu Xujin looked at Ge Lihua in a daze. The words “Lihua held my hand” kept repeating in his mind.

Ge Lihua chuckled and let go of his hand, continuing to catch crabs.

Chu Xujin finally reacted and quickly grabbed Ge Lihua’s hand. He was overjoyed. “Lihua, you…”

Ge Lihua cut him off, “Catch the crabs.” She turned away, hiding a smile on her face.

“Yes, yes, yes. 1’11 listen to you.” Chu Xujin was excited and happy. He could not help but fantasize about the future.

Wu Yaqing saw their interaction and couldn’t help but think of Lu Yichen. Where did this guy go?

Wait, why was she thinking about him?

Ads by Pubfuture

Wu Yaqing shook her head, trying to expel Lu Yichen’s image from her mind, refusing to think about him.

Chu Xuyuan’s cheer echoed, “It’s full, it’s full…”

Chu Xuyao said, “Mine is full too.”

Chu Qingzhi’s bucket was also full.

They brought the buckets to the elders.

Li Qingyu took a look. “I feel that the crabs today are bigger than yesterday.”

Chu Rong picked up the crab that had fallen out of the bucket and put it back into the bucket. “They do seem a bit bigger…”

Chu Xuyuan said, “No matter how big or small it is, it will still be our meal in the end.”

It didn’t take long for everyone to fill the bucket.

“Let’s go home.”

Everyone carried the buckets onto the carriages and returned to the city.

In the teahouse.

Ning Shuangshuang walked into the private room and looked at Jiao Qinqin in surprise. “So it was you who asked me out!”

Jiao Qinqin poured a cup of tea for Ning Shuangshuang. “Please have a seat.”

Ning Shuangshuang tried to figure out Jiao Qinqin’s intentions before sitting on the chair opposite her. “If you have something to say, just say it.”

Jiao Qinqin and Ning Yuting were childhood sweethearts and she also grew up together with Ning Shuangshuang. The two of them were very close sisters, but ever since Jiao Qinqin married someone else, their relationship had become distant.

“You don’t have to put on a cold face. I didn’t have a choice back then.” Jiao Qinqin put on an aggrieved look. “What would you do if you were in my situation? Besides, I regret it now!”

Liu Wenzhao (Jiao Qinqin’s husband) had married her because of her family’s money. Now that the family had survived the crisis, he had begun to neglect her.

When Ning Shuangshuang saw that Jiao Qinqin was not doing well, she actually felt better. “You’re already married. Why are you looking for me again?”

Jiao Qinqin probed, “Do you like Chu Qingyue?”

“What do you mean?” Ning Shuangshuang became alert.

“I don’t like Chu Qingyue.” Jiao Qinqin gripped her handkerchief tightly. She hoped that Chu Qingyue would disappear immediately..

Chapter 613: Trick

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ning Shuangshuang also disliked Chu Qingyue. Hearing this, she couldn’t help but become more friendly towards Jiao Qinqin. “Our Ning family doesn’t like her either, but since my cousin likes her, there’s nothing I can do.”

“Yuting is just momentarily bewitched,” Jiao Qinqin firmly held Ning Shuangshuang’s hand. “Do you have a way to stop this marriage?”

“This…” Ning Shuangshuang was troubled. “The wedding is tomorrow, how can I stop it?”

“Yes, the wedding is tomorrow.” Jiao Qinqin was so regretful that she started crying. “Shuangshuang, I regret it so much. I shouldn’t have married someone else. Shuangshuang, what should I do?”

Seeing Jiao Qinqin crying so sadly, Ning Shuangshuang felt pity. “Have you talked to my cousin? What does he say?”

Jiao Qinqin’s tears fell like rain. “I tried, but he drove me away.”

Ning Shuangshuang sympathetically said, “My cousin went too far. How could he treat you like this?”

“Yes, Yuting must have been bewitched; otherwise, he wouldn’t treat me like this. Shuangshuang, please help me think of a way. After tomorrow, there will be no turning back.”

“What do you want to do?”

“I want to stop this wedding. I don’t want Yuting to marry Chu Qingyue. Yuting is mine.”

Ning Shuangshuang hesitated, “But you’re already married.”

“I can get a divorce. Yuting and I are childhood sweethearts. He must be angry that I abandoned him, that’s why he’s marrying someone else. I can’t just watch him act rashly and regret it for the rest of his life.”

“I think my cousin isn’t just acting on a whim; he seems quite earnest.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Everything at home, from the wedding invitations hand-written by Ning Yuting, to the decoration of the wedding hall and the house, all were done by him, not resembling the actions of someone acting on a whim.

Jiao Qinqin urgently said, “He’s just pretending. Men are proud. He definitely wouldn’t let me know that he still can’t forget me. Shuangshuang, please help me. Can you?”

“How can 1 help you?”

“Help me invite Yuting out for dinner. I’ve booked a private room at Tainan Restaurant. Bring him there, and I’ll talk to him properly.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ning Shuangshuang hesitated, still vividly remembering the scene when Ning Yuting warned her last time. “I…”

Jiao Qinqin anxiously grabbed Ning Shuangshuang’s hand, pleading, “You’re the only one who can help me now, Shuangshuang, please.”

Ning Shuangshuang thought to herself, between Jiao Qinqin and Chu Qingyue, she still preferred Jiao Qinqin as her sister-in-law. So she decided to help Jiao Qinqin. “Alright, I’ll help you, but don’t say it was me.”

Jiao Qinqin nodded vigorously, “I know, I’ll keep it a secret.”

“I’ll think of a way. Wait for my good news.”

“Ok.”

As soon as Ning Shuangshuang left, Jiao Qinqin immediately dried her tears and smirked triumphantly. Chu Qingyue, you and Yuting are destined to be from two different worlds.

In the corridor, the maid Chunli handed a letter to Ning Yuting. “Young master, this is a letter from Miss Qingyue for you.”

Ning Yuting instinctively felt something was amiss. The wedding was tomorrow, so why would Qingyue send him a letter today? If there was something important, wouldn’t it be better for the maid to just come back and tell him?

With doubts, he opened the letter, “Yuting, I’ve booked a private room at Tainan Restaurant. Let’s have dinner together, just the two of us.”

It turned out to be an invitation for dinner.

Before getting married, it was not customary for men and women to meet casually, so Ning Yuting rationalized the secretive nature of the letter and decided to accept the invitation.

In the afternoon, at the city gate.

Chu Xuyao stood atop the carriage, looking towards the city gates, when suddenly he pointed ahead and shouted, “The merchant convoy has arrived!”

Chu Qingzhi had arranged for Chu Xuhua and Shen Ruyue to travel to the capital with the Ning family’s merchant convoy for safety. Now that the convoy had arrived, they must be here as well.

Everyone headed towards the city gate.

Riding on a horse, Chu Xuhua, sitting high on the horseback, immediately spotted his parents, “Father, Mother…”

Shen Ruyue opened the curtain of the carriage, “Father, Mother…”

Li Qingyu waved her hand happily, “Ruyue.”

The family finally reunited and after catching up, they headed towards the Chu residence.

Chu Xuhua and Shen Ruyue visited the Chu Residence right away and liked it very much.

Chu Xuhua exclaimed, “This house is nice!”

Shen Ruyue nodded in agreement, “The building is sturdy, the layout grand, and the landscape exquisite. It’s befitting a wealthy family.”

Worried that Shen Ruyue might feel unhappy about the lavish dowry Chu Qingyue received, Li Qingyu quickly said, “If Ruyue likes it, we can buy a similar one in the county town and renovate it like this one. How about that?”

Shen Ruyue was so smart. How could she not understand what Li Qingyu meant? She was not jealous of Chu Qingyue. “Mother, there’s no need. I still prefer the house at home.”

Li Qingyu smiled and patted Shen Ruyue’s hand, “As you wish, Mother supports you.”

Shen Ruyue smiled and nodded, “Thank you, Mother.”

Tainan restaurant.

Ning Yuting changed into a decent set of clothes and took a carriage to Tainan restaurant.

The waiter greeted him warmly, “Young Master Ning, the young lady has already arrived. Please follow me.”

Thinking of Chu Qingyue, Ning Yuting felt a bit nervous. He adjusted his clothes and followed the waiter to the upstairs private room.

The waiter opened the door, “Young Master Ning, please.”

The room was specially decorated, with flowers, fine wine, colorful silk curtains fluttering in the wind, and a table of delicious food.

Ning Yuting entered the room, sensing something was off. This wasn’t Chu Qingyue’s style!

He stood at the door, hesitant to enter.

Then, behind the silk curtains, a figure appeared, and the music of a huqin started playing, creating an exotic atmosphere.

The figure, with a graceful and soft body, danced to the fast-paced melody, with crisp and rhythmic moves. It was very beautiful.

At this point, Ning Yuting was sure that the other party was not Chu Qingyue.

He frowned. Who was using Qingyue’s name to ask him to meet?

He looked in the direction of the gauze curtain, his gaze darkening.

After thinking for a moment, he walked forward step by step towards the back of the gauze curtain…

A woman in a red dress was wearing a veil and had seductive eyes. She held her hips and twisted her delicate body as she danced in a unique foreign dance.

Upon seeing who it was, Ning Yuting frowned deeply and turned to leave.

Just then, the sound of a door closing was heard, and Jiao Qinqin appeared in front of Ning Yuting. She twisted her body close to Ning Yuting and asked expectantly, “Yuting, this is a special dance I prepared for you. Do you like it?”

“Not at all.” Ning Yuting said coldly, stepping away from Jiao Qinqin and continuing to walk out.

Jiao Qinqin reached out to grab Ning Yuting’s hand, stepping in front of him, “Yuting, can’t you be less heartless?”

Ning Yuting was angry, “Can’t you be less shameless?”

Hearing Ning Yuting call her shameless, Jiao Qinqin felt as if she had been doused in cold water, completely chilled to the core, looking at him, not knowing how to react..

Ning Yuting forcefully pushed away Jiao Qinqin and continued to leave.

Jiao Qinqin chased after him, hugging him from behind, crying, “Yuting, 1 was wrong, 1 regret it. I shouldn’t have left you back then. I am willing to make amends. Can you give me another chance?”

“Impossible!!!”

“Remember, don’t come looking for me again, nor for Qingyue. Otherwise, I will tell Liu Wenzhao everything about what you did today.” Ning Yuting harshly pulled away Jiao Qinqin’s hands and kicked open the door to leave quickly.

Jiao Qinqin suddenly snapped back to reality, shuddering with fear. If Liu Wenzhao found out about today’s incident, she would be doomed.

Shocked, scared, and regretful, she fell to the ground and burst into tears.

She finally realized that she could never go back to how things were with Ning Yuting. The things she once discarded carelessly no longer belonged to her.

At the Ning Residence.

Ning Yuting returned home with an extremely grim expression, startling Chunli. “Young Master, what happened?”

“Who gave you the letter you brought me this afternoon?”

“No one gave it to me. The letter was on the desk in your study. I was worried you were too busy to see it and it might cause a delay, so I brought it to you…” Ning Yuting took a deep breath. “Who visited the residence today?”

Chunli thought for a moment. “Miss Shuangshuang came back, but she left soon after.”

Ning Shuangshuang!! Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Ning Shuangshuang had a good relationship with Jiao Qinqin. It was entirely possible she helped deliver the letter for Jiao Qinqin.

Ning Yuting was furious. This traitor!

He went to the study to write a letter and asked the servant to send it to Ning Shuangshuang immediately.

With his wedding imminent, it was not the time for extra troubles. He would settle the accounts after the wedding!

Ning Shuangshuang was flustered. She hadn’t even eaten dinner. Her cousin wasn’t a fool. After seeing Jiao Qinqin, he would definitely know that she was the one who sent the letter. Why had she acted so impulsively?

In her unease, a maid came in. “Madam, you have a letter.”

Ning Shuangshuang hurriedly opened the letter. “If you dare to act recklessly again, 1 will immediately cut off all business dealings between the Ning family and your husband’s family.”

The words on the letter turned Ning Shuangshuang’s face pale, and she trembled with fear.

I don’t dare anymore, I don’t dare anymore…

At the Chu Residence.

Chu Qingzhi, Chu Qingyue, Chu Qingning, Chu Qingshuang, and Chu Qingyan, the five sisters, lay side by side on the same bed.

Chu Qingning turned to look at Chu Qingyue’s gentle profile. “Second Sister, are you nervous?”

Chu Qingyue’s heart was pounding. “Nervous, but also looking forward to it.”

“Second Sister is about to get married. Time passes so quickly.” Chu Qingshuang said, lying flat and gazing upwards, her voice tinged with reluctance.

Chu Qingyue smiled and said, “Don’t you want me to get married?”

Chu Qingshuang turned to face Chu Qingyue. “1 do, but I can’t bear it. We grew up together, and suddenly you are going to someone else’s home…”

As she spoke, Chu Qingshuang couldn’t help but cry.

Ads by Pubfuture

Chu Qingyue quickly sat up and handed her a handkerchief. “It’s okay, you can come to see me.”

Chu Qingshuang hugged Chu Qingyue, crying, “Second Sister…”

Chu Qingning and Chu Qingyan also started crying, and Chu Qingyue couldn’t comfort them all. “It’s okay, it’s okay. I’ll come home often to see you, okay? It’s not like we won’t be able to see each other ever again, right?”

Chu Qingzhi brought two handkerchiefs, one for each, and watched this crying scene with mixed emotions.

After crying for a while, the sisters finally calmed down.

Chu Qingyan cooed, “Second Sister, you said you will come home often. Don’t lie to us.”

“I will, very often.”

The sisters chatted together until late into the night before finally going to sleep.

As the first light of dawn appeared outside the window, the voice of Matchmaker Chu could be heard from outside the room, “Qingyue, it’s time to get up and bathe.”

When Ning Yuting went to the Chu family to propose marriage, he asked Matchmaker Chu to be the matchmaker. Now that he was getting married, she was also there to oversee the wedding procedure.

Chu Qingyue sat up abruptly from the bed, “Alright, I’m getting up.”

“It’s dawn!” Everyone woke up, got dressed, and started assisting with the preparations for Chu Qingyue’s wedding.

First came the bath and change of clothes. Li Qingyu had already prepared hot water, so Chu Qingyue went straight for her bath.

“Fifth sister, can you come in and help me?” Chu Qingyue, feeling the nerves of a bride-to-be, would find comfort in having Chu Qingzhi with her.

“Okay.”

Chu Qingzhi sprinkled a mix of purple jasmine and jasmine petals into the bath, creating a beautiful sight as they floated on the water’s surface.

While scattering the petals, Chu Qingzhi used her spiritual energy to extract some of the jasmine oil, ensuring the fragrance would last until the wedding night.

Chu Qingyue scooped up some water to smell, “It’s so fragrant.”

“This scent will last until your wedding night,” teased Chu Qingzhi, then went to help Chu Qingyue wash her hair.

Chu Qingyue’s hair was long, straight, and elegant, with a quality many girls would envy.

The mention of “wedding night” made Chu Qingyue shyly lower her head, wondering what Yuting was doing at this moment.

Ning Yuting also rose early. On the wedding day, there were many intricate preparations to be made, especially for picking up the bride. He didn’t want any mistakes.

“Qingyue, are you done bathing?” Li Qingyu entered with a tray, concerned that Chu Qingyue might be hungry. She had prepared a lot of food for her early in the morning.

On the wedding day, the bride can eat something in the morning, but she cannot eat anything after that until the wedding night.

“Coming, Mother.” Chu Qingyue emerged, dressed in two layers of bridal attire, her hair still wet and wrapped in a towel.

Li Qingyu pulled Chu Qingyue to sit down, “Let me dry your hair while you eat.” Saying this, her eyes slightly reddened.

“Thank you, Mother.”

Li Qingyu let down Chu Qingyue’s long hair and gently wiped it. As she wiped, she smiled in relief. Her daughter had grown up. From today onwards, she would be a wife…

Granny Chu walked in. “Qingyue, eat more. You won’t be able to eat until tonight.”

Chu Qingyue smiled, “Granny, I know.”

Granny Chu patted Chu Qingyue’s head and smiled kindly. “Good girl.”

After eating, the formal bridal dressing began.

The hairdresser was specially invited by Ning Yuting. Skilled and efficient, she completed the bridal hairstyle in half an hour.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

The makeup was naturally Chu Qingyan’s responsibility. The young girl had brought her makeup tools early, “Second Sister, I’ll make sure to give you the most beautiful bridal makeup that will stun your husband-to-be.”

Chu Qingyue looked forward, “I trust you.”

Half an hour later, Chu Qingyan held up a mirror, “Second Sister, take a look, isn’t it beautiful?”

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the mirror, the young girl’s lips were red, her teeth white, her eyes gentle, and her face delicate and flawless. Chu Qingyue, looking at her own reflection, was astounded, “1 can hardly recognize myself, it’s so beautiful!”

Chu Qingyan, proud of her work, boasted, “Hehe, every bride I’ve made up says the same.”

“Beautiful!”

Everyone watching agreed, praising Chu Qingyan’s skills.

Li Qingyu entered with Fan Yuru and Rong Shiyu, “Qingyue, Yuru and Shiyu have come to see you.”

Fan Yuru and Rong Shiyu smiled, “Congratulations to the bride.”

Chu Qingyue was pleasantly surprised, “Please, make yourselves comfortable.”

Fan Yuru and Rong Shiyu handed Chu Qingyue a box each, “This is our gift to you, don’t decline it.”

Chu Qingyue hesitated to accept the boxes, “Your visit alone is enough, you didn’t need to bring anything.”

Fan Yuru insisted, pushing the box into Chu Qingyue’s hands, “Qingyue, please sit, a bride shouldn’t be standing.”

Rong Shiyu also stuffed a box into Chu Qingyue’s hands. “It’s not very valuable. I hope you don’t mind.”

“Whatever you give, I will cherish.”

Then, another person entered; it was the Empress’s maid, also there to deliver a gift, “Congratulations to Miss Qingyue on marrying a good man. 1 wish you happiness and fulfillment.”

“Thank you.”

After giving the gift, the maid left.

Next, Ge Lihua, Shen Ruyue, Yuan Qingqing, Yuan Hongjun, Bao Linjiang, and other high-ranking officials like the Prime Minister, Grand Tutor, and Grand Commandant, whom Chu Qingzhi had saved, sent gifts. The Chu family was overwhelmed with presents.

The Chu family was stunned by the names of these high officials; they could hardly believe it.

Chu Qingyue, seeing the mountain of gifts, was amazed at her younger sister’s networking skills, able to befriend so many high-ranking officials.

Chu Qingzhi was used to such extravagance; in the cultivation world, her banquets would often yield gifts enough to fill a storeroom.

Tang Jinghong also sent a gift, although he was busy with important matters and sent someone to deliver it.

Time slowly passed, and evening arrived.

The setting sun bled into the sky, painting it with a myriad of colors.

Li Qingyu held back her tears, “Qingyue, remember what 1 taught you about being a wife. From now on, you’ll have to make your own way.”

Chu Qingyue’s eyes reddened, nodding, “I remember everything you said, Mother.”

“Your parental home is always your home. If you ever face any difficulties, tell Mother, and I’ll stand up for you.”

Chu Qingyue smiled through her tears and said coquettishly, “Got it, Mother.”

The wedding procession, with lively drums and gongs, arrived at the Chu family’s doorstep.

Ning Yuting, in his wedding attire, riding a tall horse, looked proud and happy.

It had been a long time since such a grand wedding had taken place in the capital. The commoners passing by stopped to watch the ceremony and bask in the joy.

After a series of rituals, Chu Xuhua carried Chu Qingyue out and placed her in the bridal sedan, “Qingyue, your big brother will always be there for you, even after you’re married, you’re still my sister.”

Chu Qingyue smiled, “Big Brother, I’ll strive for happiness.”

“That’s good.”

Ning Yuting remounted his horse, followed by firecrackers and red lanterns, making their way back home amid the festive atmosphere.

Chu Rong, along with his four sons, were part of the escort, while the rest stayed at home.

Li Qingyu watched the departing procession, her tears flowing again.

Her daughters comforted her, “Mother, Second Sister will surely be happy.”

“I know.”

At the Ning Residence.

In the mansion adorned with red silk, guests were gathered like clouds, creating a lively and extraordinary atmosphere.

Jiao Qinqin, standing amidst the crowd, watched as Ning Yuting, with a smile and an air of happiness, led Chu Qingyue into their home. Her heart completely shattered, she turned around and disappeared at the end of the street.

In the main hall.

Ning Yuting’s parents were no longer around, so his grandfather took the place of honor at the high table.

Eiders from the Ning family sat on both sides, with younger family members standing behind, creating a slightly crowded space. Easily, there were over a hundred people, a testament to the size of this great family.

Ning Yuting and Chu Qingyue, each holding one end of a red ribbon, entered the main hall to perform the most important ceremony of their wedding… paying respects to Heaven and Earth.

The master of ceremonies gave the orders, and the couple followed the rituals.

After the couple bowed to each other, they bowed to the elders of the Ning family, and then to the guests. Following this, Chu Qingyue was escorted to the bridal chamber, and the banquet began.

The sky was speckled with stars, and darkness enveloped the surroundings. The mansion was lit with lanterns, looking like stars shimmering in the night.

Amidst the fine wine and exquisite dishes, toasts were made and laughter filled the air.

Ning Yuting went from table to table toasting the guests. Once finished, he hurried to the bridal chamber to see his bride.

In the bridal chamber, the matchmaker, a few female elders of Ning Yuting’s family, and some young cousins kept Chu Qingyue company. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Everyone chatted softly, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

The young cousins, around ten years old, were curious about the bride, their eyes darting around in fascination.

Ning Feifei whispered to her sisters, “Are you curious about what our big cousin’s wife looks like?”

Ads by Pubfuture

Ning Yunyun nodded eagerly, “Very curious.”

“I’m curious too.” Ning Jiaojiao squatted down, trying to get a glimpse of the bride’s face, but to no avail, “Can’t see.”

Suddenly, Ning Feifei announced, “Big cousin is coming.”

The younger cousins quickly stood aside and greeted in unison, “Big cousin.”

Ning Yuting, eager to see his bride, nodded briefly and then swiftly approached Chu Qingyue.

The matchmaker brought over a tray with a ceremonial cinnabar stick. “Please, young master, lift the bride’s veil.”

Ning Yuting took a deep breath, grasped the stick, lifted a corner of the veil, and then unveiled it.

Under the light, the bride looked stunningly beautiful, like a painting come to life.

Ning Yuting, looking at the gorgeously dressed Chu Qingyue, felt his heart skip a beat. He took her hand, “1 finally married you and brought you home.”

Chu Qingyue blushed and nodded shyly, her head ornaments gently clinking together, producing a pleasant sound.

“Our bride is so beautiful!”

“Yuting is so lucky to marry such a beautiful girl.”

“Yes, yes, Yuting, you must treat your wife well and live a happy life together.”

The elders loudly praised, showing their approval of the bride.

Ning Yuting’s eyes almost never left Chu Qingyue, “Thank you, aunties, I will.”

The matchmaker brought over the wine cups, smiling, “Time for the bridal cup exchange.”

The couple clumsily drank the bridal cup.

As the wine went down, Chu Qingyue’s cheeks reddened even more. To Ning Yuting, she looked as tempting as a ripe apple, almost irresistible.

The matchmaker declared, “The ceremony is complete!” She gestured to everyone, “Let’s leave them and go eat.”

“Alright, let’s eat.” The elders, leading their children, left the bridal chamber.

In the room, only Chu Qingyue and Ning Yuting remained.

In the red candlelight, the atmosphere grew increasingly intimate.

Ning Yuting gently embraced Chu Qingyue, his voice soft as water, “Qingyue, we’re husband and wife now.”

Chu Qingyue smiled with her lips pursed, “Mhm..”

Chapter 616: A Bowl of Medicinal Cuisine

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ning Yuting released Chu Qingyue and gently kissed her, saying softly, “I want to show you something.”

Chu Qingyue blinked curiously, “What is it?”

“Come with me.” Ning Yuting took Chu Qingyue’s hand and led her out of the room.

In the courtyard, the ground was covered with lanterns shaped like peonies, hibiscuses, lotuses, and dozens of other flowers, each with a candle lit inside. At first glance, it looked like a sea of flowers, breathtakingly beautiful.

Chu Qingyue was stunned by the sight, having never seen anything so beautiful.

Ning Yuting asked expectantly, “Do you like it?”

Chu Qingyue nodded and smiled sweetly, “I love it. Yuting, thank you for doing all this for me.”

Ning Yuting turned to her, holding her hand affectionately, “You’re my wife. Anything I do for you is what I should be doing. You don’t need to thank me.”

Touched, Chu Qingyue tiptoed to kiss Ning Yuting and shyly called him, “Husband.”

Ning Yuting felt a thrill run through him, “You haven’t eaten all day. Let’s have something to eat.”

Blushing, Chu Qingyue nodded softly.

Ning Yuting led Chu Qingyue to the room next to their bridal chamber, where a table full of dishes had already been prepared.

They sat opposite each other.

Ning Yuting served Chu Qingyue a bowl of soup, “Have some soup first to warm up your stomach.”

“Okay.” Chu Qingyue took the bowl and sipped the soup.

Ning Yuting then served her a bowl of rice, “Eat slowly. We won’t be disturbed anymore.”

“Don’t you need to entertain the guests outside?”

“I’ve already taken care of it. My grandfather will handle the rest. I just need to be with you.”

Chu Qingyue smiled bashfully, “Okay.”

After dinner, they returned to the bridal chamber, which was filled with festive items like peanuts, longans, and red dates, and two large red candles burning, casting a warm glow on their faces.

Ning Yuting led Chu Qingyue to the dressing table, “Qingyue, let me help you remove your jewelry. Just sit here.”

“Alright.” Chu Qingyue watched their reflection in the mirror, her heart filled with anticipation and nervousness for what was to come.

Ning Yuting gently removed all of Chu Qingyue’s hair ornaments and combed her hair.

He then rested his chin on her shoulder, looking at their reflection, and unexpectedly said, “We truly are a match made in heaven…”

Chu Qingyue was amused. “How narcissistic.”

“This is called confidence.” Ning Yuting smiled and carried Chu Qingyue to the bed. “Qingyue, we should go to bed.”

Chu Qingyue buried her face in Ning Yuting’s arms. She was extremely nervous.

Ning Yuting placed Chu Qingyue on the bed and whispered into her ear, “I will be very gentle.”

Chu Qingyue turned into a cooked shrimp, her entire body turning red.

Looking at his wife’s reaction, Ning Yuting was even more tempted. He kissed her gently.

At the Chu Residence.

Everyone was waiting in the front hall.

Li Qingyu hurried up to Chu Rong and the others as they returned, “How was the wedding banquet? Did everything go well?”

Ads by Pubfuture

Chu Rong nodded, “It went smoothly. The Ning family treated Qingyue very well, no neglect at all. You can be at ease.”

Li Qingyu sighed in relief, “That’s good.”

Chu Rong asked, “Have you all eaten?”

“We have. We were just waiting here to ask about Qingyue’s situation.”

“It’s all good.”

“That’s a relief. Let’s rest then.”

At the Ning Residence.

Chu Qingyue woke up early, but she didn’t want to move. She turned to look at Ning Yuting’s side profile and couldn’t help but smile.

It was like a dream. She was already married!

Ning Yuting felt her gaze and opened his eyes slightly, drawing her into his embrace, “Why are you awake so early?”

“It just happened naturally. Maybe I’m too excited.”

“Sleep a bit more.”

“No need, I should get up early to pay respects to your grandfather and make a good impression.”

Ning Yuting kissed Chu Qingyue and comforted her, “Grandfather is very fond of me and easy to get along with. He likes you too, don’t worry.”

Chu Qingyue nodded earnestly, “I will be as filial to him as you are.”

“Okay.”

The couple got up, dressed, and Ning Yuting took Chu Qingyue to his grandfather’s courtyard.

Ads by Pubfuture

After Chu Qingyue offered tea, she received a generous red envelope, “Thank you, grandfather.”

Grandpa Ning smiled kindly, “Qingyue, you are now the young madam of the Ning family. You should start learning how to manage the household.”

Learning to manage the household meant that she was recognized by the family. Chu Qingyue felt a little pressured, but she was more happy. “Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll learn well.”

“Grandpa believes you.” Grandpa Ning smiled. “Yuting, bring Qingyue back to rest. You don’t have to work hard these few days. Give Qingyue some time to adapt.”

“Yes, Grandpa.”

Ning Yuting took Chu Qingyue back to their courtyard.

Breakfast was already arranged, and before they ate, a maid brought a bowl of medicinal cuisine, “Young Madam, this is for you to have.”

The medicinal cuisine was a porridge with many precious herbs, which the women of the Ning family drank every morning for their health.

Chu Qingyue sniffed it, noticing a herbal scent but not too strong, and ate it.

Ning Yuting also had a bowl and said, “Qingyue, rest well after breakfast. You don’t need to do anything today.”

Chu Qingyue nodded shyly.

At the Chu Residence.

Chu Xuyuan seemed a bit down, “With second sister married, it feels quieter.”

Chu Xuyao handed him a bun, “Eat up, we have a gathering with our senior brothers later.”

The scholars always found reasons to gather, and these meetings hadn’t stopped for the last few days. Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao were joining them to gain experience. The two brothers, handsome and personable, adapted well in these settings.

They quickly finished eating and told their family before heading out.

Not long after, Chu Xu jin and Ge Lihua also left for the Ministry of Justice, continuing their studies with Ren Buqing.

Chu Qingning also left the house and went to the volunteer clinic.

Chu Qingshuang and Yang Zhenzhen had planned to visit the porcelain garden, which housed all types of ceramics from the Daling dynasty, a perfect place for Chu Qingshuang to explore her interest in ceramics.

Chu Qingyan also left, having been requested for her makeup services.

Chu Qingzhi took Chu Xuhua and Shen Ruyue out for networking, as their business had expanded to the capital, making connections with local merchants essential.

The day before, a group of businessmen, including Zhou Xiangfu, had organized a gathering and invited Chu Qingzhi. It was a perfect opportunity for Chu Xuhua. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Chapter 617: Hidden Agenda Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The young butler walked towards the inner courtyard anxiously. “Madam, the two famous matchmakers from the capital are here.”

Li Qingyu was dumbfounded.

Seeing Li Qingyu a bit puzzled, the butler explained, “One matchmaker is from the east side of the city and the other from the west. They’ve been in this profession for over twenty years, having brought together thousands of couples. They are very renowned. Their sudden visit must be to propose a match for one of the young ladies in our house. Madam, they have many talented young men in their hands; you should choose carefully.”

Li Qingyu came back to her senses and thought for a moment. “Let’s go see what this is about.”

“The matchmakers are waiting in the guest hall,” the butler said. The simultaneous visit of two famous matchmakers was quite rare, and he was curious about which daughter they had their eyes on.

In the guest hall.

The matchmaker from the west, known as ‘A Thread of Fate.” She was a petite middle-aged woman who sat with Cai Yuting’s wife.

The matchmaker from the east, known as ‘A Thousand Miles Matchmaker,’ was a taller, robust woman sitting with Madam Zhang.

The two matchmakers sat opposite each other, each exuding an air of rivalry.

‘A Thread of Fate’ eyed ‘A Thousand Miles Matchmaker’ somewhat critically, “1 haven’t seen you for a few days, sister, and you seem to have put on quite a bit of weight.”

Matchmakers are known for their quick wit, and ‘A Thousand Miles Matchmaker’ retorted, “Indeed, I’ve been quite successful lately, facilitating several matches and receiving substantial rewards. I thought 1 might as well treat myself well. Unlike you, sister, who seems to have slimmed down. Business not going so well?”

Ads by Pubfuture

‘A Thread of Fate’ chuckled, “The doctor advised me that being too heavy is unhealthy, so I’ve been eating lighter. Besides, I just arranged a great match for the daughter of Lord Xia. He was generous with the reward.”

‘A Thousand Miles Matchmaker’ felt a bit displeased as Lord Xia’s business was initially hers but had been snatched away by her rival. She forced a smile, “Then congratulations, sister.”

‘A Thread of Fate’ flicked her red handkerchief, “Same to you.”

‘A Thousand Miles Matchmaker’ clenched her teeth hatefully.

Li Qingyu entered the guest hall, immediately sensing the tension like a hidden needle in cotton.

She felt unsure how to handle the situation, but she was soon deafened by the matchmakers’ voices.

“Sister Qingyu, the Zhang family has excellent young men, a perfect match for your Qingshuang. Consider it?”

“Sister Qingyu, I think Cai family’s young master is a better match for your Qingshuang. You should choose him.”

Li Qingyu felt like her head was buzzing with bees from their chatter. She stepped back, “One at a time, please. I can’t make out what you’re saying with both of you talking at once.”

The matchmakers glanced at each other and simultaneously scoffed, each refusing to give in.

“I’ll speak first,”

“No, I’ll speak first.”

Li Qingyu was dumbfounded.

The butler intervened to defuse the tension, “Matchmakers, if you continue arguing, Madam will get angry.”

Ads by Pubfuture

‘A Thread of Fate’ spoke first, “I came first, so I should speak first.”

‘A Thousand Miles Matchmaker’ glanced at Madam Zhang sitting next to her and stepped back, “It’s not like whoever says it first can succeed.”

Rolling her eyes, she returned to her seat.

‘A Thread of Fate’ pulled Li Qingyu to sit down and began, “Sister Qingyu, 1 am here on behalf of the Cai family’s young master to propose a match with your daughter, Chu Qingshuang.”

“I am talking about Young Master Cai Jun’an of the Cai family, their most promising young man, sixteen years old, gentle in character, and handsome. You might have seen him at the porcelain competition. He is a suitable match for Qingshuang in terms of age. What do you think?”

Li Qingyu was somewhat tempted. The Cai family was a prestigious merchant family, and a marriage into such a family would be very fortunate for Qingshuang.

However, Qingshuang was the disciple of Li Zhenzong, a renowned porcelain master. Marrying into the Cai family, who were also in the porcelain business, might seem like a betrayal.

Thinking of this, Li Qingyu slowly calmed down.

“Thank you for telling me. I want to think about it.”

‘A Thread of Fate’ understood. Given the presence of her rival, it was normal for a sought-after bride’s family to weigh their options, “Take your time, Sister Qingyu.”

It was now ‘A Thousand Miles Matchmaker’s turn, “Sister Qingyu, I am ‘A Thousand Aviles Matchmaker’, here to speak on behalf of the Zhang family’s two young masters.”

“One is Young Master Zishan of the second branch’s family, and the other is Young Master Zijun of the third branch’s family. They are one or two years older than Qingshuang, good-looking and well-mannered. A marriage to a Zhang family young master would bring a generous dowry.”

Li Qingyu wondered why everyone seemed so eager to marry Qingshuang. Could there be some hidden agenda?

This thought made her more cautious, “Thank you for your suggestions. I’d like to discuss with Qingshuang before giving you a response. How does that sound?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ads by Pubfuture

‘A Thousand Miles Matchmaker’ disagreed, “Sister Qingyu, marriage is traditionally arranged by parents. How can you ask Qingshuang?”

‘A Thread of Fate’ concurred, “Exactly. If she says she doesn’t want to marry, will you really agree?”

Li Qingyu replied calmly, “It’s her life she will be living. It’s harmless to ask for her opinion. As mothers, you must also wish for your children’s happiness, right?”

“True, but Qingshuang is young and might be whimsical. Sister Qingyu, you mustn’t let her be reckless.”

“We understand your feelings, but reality speaks for itself. Missing a chance with families like the Zhang or the Cai might mean losing a great opportunity forever.”

Li Qingyu nodded, “I understand.”

Seeing Li Qingyu resolute, the matchmakers didn’t want to make her unhappy and left after some more words.

Granny Chu came into the front hall, “Qingyu, what do you think?”

Li Qingyu shook her head and couldn’t make up her mind. “Let’s ask Qingshuang first.”

“That’s good. But why are these prestigious families interested in Qingshuang?”

“I don’t know. We’ll discuss it when everyone’s back tonight.”

“Ok.”

On the road, Madam Cai said, “This Li Qingyu seems different from typical mothers who eagerly marry off their daughters.”

‘A Thread of Fate’ nodded, “Usually, mothers jump at the chance to marry their daughters into good families, but Qingyu is quite calm.”

Madam Cai expressed concern, “That’s my feeling too. And I sense this marriage proposal won’t be easy to settle.”

“Don’t worry, Madam Cai. I’ll do my best to facilitate this match.”

“Thank you.”

‘A Thousand Miles Matchmaker’ was puzzled, “Does Li Qingyu really not favor any of them?”

Madam Zhang was worried, “Li Qingyu is different from those who use their daughters to climb the social ladder. It’s tricky, and I wonder who Qingshuang will eventually choose.”

Til do my best to make this match happen,” the matchmaker assured.

Madam Zhang nodded, “Let’s hope everything goes smoothly..”

On the street.

Chu Qingzhi, Chu Xuhua, and Shen Ruyue were leaving the Yipin Tea House, heading towards the street.

Chu Xuhua, somewhat helplessly, said, “Fifth sister, 1 feel I’m far behind compared to other shopkeepers.”

They had just met with some shopkeepers in the capital, organized by Chu Qingzhi, to get acquainted. It was a brief meet and didn’t last long before the three of them left.

“Everyone starts from not understanding to understanding,” Chu Qingzhi reassured him. “Big brother, you’ve just started in this line of work. It’s normal to have some gaps.”

Shen Ruyue added, “Qingzhi is right, Xuhua. Don’t underestimate yourself. You are already very good in my eyes.”

Chu Xuhua held Shen Ruyue’s hand, “I’ll work hard.”

Shen Ruyue softly responded, “Mhm.”

While they were talking, a butler hurried towards them with two servants, “Miss Qingzhi, please save a life!”

Chu Qingzhi stopped, “Who are you?”

The butler, sweating profusely, said, “1 am the butler of the Minister of Rites. Our young madam is having a difficult labor. Please save the young madam and the baby.”

Hearing it was a difficult labor, Chu Qingzhi didn’t hesitate, “Ruyue, go and inform Fourth Sister to come to the Minister of Rites’ mansion to find me. Big brother, go back and inform our parents.” She then told the butler, “Lead the way!”

“Right this way, Miss Qingzhi.”

Everyone went their separate ways.

At the Minister of Rites’ Mansion.

The atmosphere in the mansion was tense. Two imperial physicians were present, both appearing very anxious, like ants on a hot pan.

The family of the Minister of Rites waited outside the birthing room. Inside, the increasingly exhausted screams of the young madam were suffocating and distressing.

The young madam’s husband, Kong Guang, had red eyes and sat in agony, his fists clenched tightly, looking very pained.

The midwife came out of the room, her face grave, “Master, madam, young master, the young madam cannot give birth. Do you choose to save the mother or the child?”

Kong Guang immediately stood up, his voice filled with unbearable pain, “Save the mother. We can have more children.”

The midwife looked at the Minister of Rites and his wife for confirmation.

Seeing that the two of them had no objections, she turned around and returned to her room.

Kong Guang staggered and fell back onto the chair, tears streaming down his face.

“She will be fine,” the Minister of Rites reassured him, patting his shoulder, his own eyes reddening. It was his eldest grandson they were losing, a deeply heartbreaking matter.

At this moment, the butler arrived with Chu Qingzhi, “Master, I have brought Miss Qingzhi.”

Everyone’s eyes brightened.

Chu Qingzhi said immediately, “1 will save her first.” She then entered the birthing room.

The Minister of Rites slapped the butler’s back, smiling through his tears, “With her here, both my daughter-in-law and grandson will be saved. You’ve done well. Once the child is safely born, I will reward you handsomely.”

The butler, who had received kindness from the young madam before, had tried his best to find help when everyone else was at a loss.

Ads by Pubfuture

The Minister’s wife was also pleased, having heard of Chu Qingzhi’s exceptional medical skills. They had forgotten to think of her, but thankfully the butler had brought her, “I will reward you handsomely too.”

The butler humbly replied, “I just hope the young madam and the child will be well.”

The two imperial physicians secretly sighed in relief. They were not specialists in obstetrics and had been out of their depth. Luckily, Chu Qingzhi had arrived. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Kong Guang stared eagerly at the birthing room’s door, hoping for good news.

Upon entering the room, Chu Qingzhi put on gloves and immediately started attending to the patient.

The two midwives, having exhausted their methods, stepped aside without a word when Chu Qingzhi arrived.

The situation was critical. The mother was barely breathing, and even the most potent medicines seemed ineffective.

The baby was stuck in the severely torn birth canal, its skin turning a pale purple. If not delivered within a minute, the child would suffocate.

Chu Qingzhi pressed her hand on the mother’s abdomen, channeling her spiritual energy to protect the mother’s body, while her other hand pushed the baby’s buttocks back, forcefully correcting the fetal position.

Zhang Yuyan, the mother, opened her eyes with difficulty and looked at Chu Qingzhi, “Miss, I don’t matter, please save my child, save my child…”

Chu Qingzhi sighed inwardly at the willingness of a young woman in the prime of her life to sacrifice herself for her child, “Rest assured, 1’11 do my best.”

Then she said to the midwives, “There are two babies. Please prepare another set of newborn supplies.

Twins?

“Yes, we’ll go right away.”

After the midwives left, Chu Qingzhi used her spiritual energy to carefully extract one baby from the womb and then did the same with the second.

Ads by Pubfuture

The newborns, their bodies weak and blue-purple, cried faintly, barely audible, but they were alive.

Chu Qingzhi nourished them with her spiritual energy, and soon the babies looked as healthy as normally born infants.

She placed the twins aside under a blanket, intending to bathe them later.

Then she used her spiritual energy to heal about seventy to eighty percent of the mother’s wounds, sparing her some pain.

After recovering, Zhang Yuyan weakly asked, “Miss, my child…”

Before she could finish, tears were already streaming down her face, fearing the worst scenario as she hadn’t heard her babies cry.

Chu Qingzhi smiled, “Congratulations, you’ve given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. I’ll give them a bath and then let the wet nurse feed them.”

The young madam was stunned, then burst into tears of joy, “Twins? They’re both alive?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded, “Alive and well, don’t worry, they will grow up healthy.”

Overjoyed, the young madam cried and laughed, “That’s wonderful, truly wonderful…”

Just then, the door opened, and Kong Guang rushed in, looking anxious, “Miss Qingzhi, how is my wife?”

Chu Qingzhi raised an eyebrow, impressed that he asked about his wife first, “Mother and children are safe. Your wife is just very weak. You should ask the kitchen to make her some carp soup.”

“I’ll do it right now.” Kong Guang looked at his wife and then at the babies, his happiness bubbling like a child’s, and he hurried out.

With the birth of twins and both mother and children safe, the joy of the Minister of Rites’ family was beyond words. Meanwhile, Chu Qingzhi bathed the newborns.

Handling these newborns for the first time felt peculiar to her.

The young madam’s maid approached, expressing gratitude, “Miss Qingzhi, thank you for saving the young madam and the children.”

Chu Qingzhi glanced at the maid, “Take good care of your young madam. Giving birth this time was like a trip around the gates of hell.”

“I will,” the maid said, her face pale from the recent ordeal.

“Call the wet nurse to feed the children.”

“Yes.”

The wet nurse took the boy first, and Chu Qingzhi bathed the girl, who was more active, crying loudly and energetically the moment she touched the water, showing none of the weakness typical in newborns..

Chu Qingzhi had just placed the twins on the bed when Chu Qingning arrived.

Seeing Zhang Yuyan, the mother, covered in blood, Chu Qingning felt scared and did not dare to come closer.

Chu Qingzhi picked up one of the babies to clean them, “Fourth sister, do you think childbirth is scary?”

Chu Qingning honestly nodded, “It is. 1 was afraid to even look when I first came in.”

“Do you want to help them?” asked Chu Qingzhi. Witnessing Zhang Yuyan’s childbirth had strengthened her resolve to train Chu Qingning in gynecology this era desperately needed female doctors.

Chu Qingning sensed the underlying implication, “Fifth sister, what do you mean?”

After handing the baby over to another wet nurse, Chu Qingzhi shared her thoughts in detail with Chu Qingning, “What do you think, Fourth Sister?”

After listening, Chu Qingning fell into deep thought. She had never considered this path before, and it seemed quite sudden.

Chu Qingzhi suggested, “There’s no rush, Fourth Sister. Take your time to think about it. Let’s go outside for now.”

Chu Qingning nodded, “Okay.”

As they exited, the Minister of Rites immediately greeted Chu Qingzhi with a bow, “Thank you, Miss Qingzhi, for saving my grandchildren. I will reward you handsomely.”

Everyone knew how difficult it was to carry twins to term. If they had lost the twins, it would have been an eternal regret for the whole family.

“You’re too kind, Minister,” Chu Qingzhi advised, “During this time, have the young master spend more time with the young madam. A happy mood will help her recover better. Pay attention to her diet too, and ensure she eats foods that are good for wound recovery and replenishing energy.”

Unable to remember everything, the Minister asked, “Could Miss Qingzhi write it down?”

“Of course.” Chu Qingzhi went to the study to write down postnatal care instructions, “Fourth Sister, would you like to see it?”

Chu Qingning thought for a moment, then took the paper to read carefully, developing a bit of interest, “Fifth Sister, I’ll copy this down and study it more closely.”

“Okay.”

While Chu Qingning was copying the instructions, Zhang Yuyan’s personal maid approached Chu Qingzhi, “Miss Qingzhi, the young madam would like to see you.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chu Qingning said, “Fifth Sister, go ahead.”

Chu Qingzhi replied, “Let’s go.”

In Zhang Yuyan’s room, Chu Qingzhi first checked on the twins and then spoke with Zhang Yuyan, “Please speak, young madam.”

Zhang Yuyan gestured for everyone to leave the room, then lifted her clothes to reveal her stomach covered in stretch marks, “Miss Qingzhi, can you help me recover from these marks?”

She added, “A friend of mine was coldly treated by her husband after giving birth because of these marks, and she has been in tears ever since. Sometimes she even thinks of ending her life.”

Chu Qingzhi responded, “I can prepare an ointment to remove these marks, but it will require many expensive medicinal ingredients. Are you willing to pay for it?”

Zhang Yuyan eagerly said, “As long as it can remove these marks, we are willing to pay any price.”

Chu Qingzhi pondered, “Have your maid come to my mansion the day after tomorrow to collect it.”

Zhang Yuyan was overjoyed, “Thankyou, Miss Qingzhi.”

About an hour later, Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingning left the Minister’s mansion.

“Where are we going now, Fifth Sister?”

“I’m going to the medical hall to buy herbs.”

“Is someone sick?”

“The young madam wants an ointment to remove her stretch marks. I’ll go buy the herbs and prepare it. If you want to learn, I can teach you. This can also be considered a part of gynecological treatment.”

Chu Qingning did not hesitate. “Fifth Sister, I want to learn.”

“Let’s go.”

At the Ning Residence.

Xia Mei entered the room and respectfully said, “Young Madam, Miss Ning Shuangshuang is here to see you.”

At the mention of Ning Shuangshuang’s name, Chu Qingyue recalled the scene where Ning Shuangshuang mocked her, and she couldn’t help feeling anxious. She really didn’t want to meet Ning Shuangshuang.

“Did she say why she’s here?”

Xia Mei shook her head, “She didn’t say.”

Even though Ning Shuangshuang had mocked her, she was Ning Yuting’s cousin. Creating an ugly scene would only make things difficult for Yuting. Chu Qingyue said, “Let her in.”

“Yes, Young Madam,” Xia Mei bowed and left.

Soon, Ning Shuangshuang entered the room with Xia Mei. She greeted Chu Qingyue with a smile and an air of closeness, “Big Cousin-in-law.”

Chu Qingyue sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes filled with confusion. Ning Shuangshuang’s attitude was like that of a completely different person.

“Please, have a seat.”

Ning Shuangshuang thought to herself that if it weren’t for the fear of Ning Yuting cutting off business ties between their families, she wouldn’t be apologizing to a country girl.

However, she didn’t let her thoughts show and continued smiling, “Big Cousin-in-law, are you adjusting well?”

Chu Qingyue remained guarded, “If you have something to say, just say it.”

Ning Shuangshuang appeared sincere, “I came to apologize. What happened before was my fault. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Chu Qingyue thought to herself that Ning Shuangshuang clearly looked down on her, and her sudden apology seemed suspicious.

She decided to play along to see Ning Shuangshuang’s true intentions, “I’ve already forgotten about those things, they’re not on my mind. But your sudden apology is a bit surprising.”

Ning Shuangshuang was eager to get past this, “Cousin-in-law, you don’t have to think too much about it. I was immature before. Please just see it as me being young and impulsive, and don’t hold it against me.”

The more Ning Shuangshuang tried to cover up, the more suspicious Chu Qingyue became, “Does Yuting know about your visit?”

“He doesn’t. But there’s no need to inform my cousin about this, right? You wouldn’t want to trouble him with these trivial matters, would you?”

She actually wanted Chu Qingyue to tell Ning Yuting about her apology, hoping that would lead to his forgiveness.

“Of course not. But if you don’t want Yuting to know you’re here, you should leave now. He’s about to come back.”

“Oh, then I’ll leave right away. Big Cousin-in-law, you’re not angry with me, are you?”

“I won’t take it to heart, don’t worry.”

“Thank you, Big Cousin-in-law. 1’11 be going then.”

“Mhm.” Chu Qingyue watched Ning Shuangshuang leave, thinking that the girls in this large house were so adaptable. Even though they clearly didn’t like her, they could still smile and apologize. It looked like she still had a lot to learn.

Not long after Ning Shuangshuang left, Ning Yuting indeed returned.

He came into the room and embraced Chu Qingyue, giving her a kiss, “I’ve taken care of the business matters. Now I can focus on spending time with you.”

Chu Qingyue smiled gently, “It’s almost noon. Shall I cook for you?” With that, she stood up.

Ning Yuting pulled Chu Qingyue onto his lap, “You don’t need to cook. Let the maids do it. You’re not feeling well, just rest.”

Chu Qingyue blushed at his words and whispered, “I can still cook..”

Ning Yuting looked at Chu Qingzhi’s blushed face and was in a very good mood. Well cook when you’re feeling better. There’s no rush.”

Chu Qingyue felt sweet inside, leaning her head against Ning Yuting’s chest, softly murmuring in agreement.

After spending some time together, Ning Yuting said, “Qingyue, about the trip down south I mentioned before, would you like to go?”

Chu Qingyue sat up straight, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, “Are we really going south?”

Ning Yuting chuckled softly, “Yes, it’s true. Everything I’ve told you is true.”

Chu Qingyue nodded, her smile tender, “I would like to go.”

Ning Yuting gently pinched Chu Qingyue’s cheek, smiling, “Then I’ll make arrangements right away. Well set off three days after your return to your parents’ home.”

Chu Qingyue blinked, feeling both surprised and happy, “But Yuting, I’ve only made arrangements of my clothing shop and weaving workshop for half a month…”

“Hl have someone manage them. Don’t worry about it.”

“Thank you, Yuting.”

Ning Yuting softly said, “I am your husband, and your matters are mine. I will handle everything for you.”

Chu Qingyue smiled sweetly, “Then thank you, husband.”

After a moment’s hesitation, Chu Qingyue said, “Yuting, Ning Shuangshuang was here just now.”

Ning Yuting’s brow furrowed, “What did she want?”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“She came to apologize.” Chu Qingyue was puzzled, “Why would she suddenly apologize to me?”

She didn’t believe that marrying Yuting would make Ning Shuangshuang accept her.

Ning Yuting’s expression softened, “I sent her a warning letter. She must have been scared and came to apologize.”

“Oh, I see.”

Ning Yuting smiled at Chu Qingyue, “Don’t worry about her. She’s already married and doesn’t have much influence in the Ning family.”

Chu Qingyue nodded. “Then I’ll pretend she doesn’t exist.”

At the Qin Ya Pavilion.

Ning Shuangshuang walked into the courtyard with a look of grievance, “Mother.”

Her mother, Fang Yuying, was Ning Yuting’s second uncle’s official wife. She was arranging flowers when Ning Shuangshuang suddenly walked in, startling her and almost causing her to cut her hand.

Fang Yuying looked up at her disappointing daughter and frowned, “What’s wrong?”

Ning Shuangshuang exaggeratedly relayed the incident of Ning Yuting’s warning letter and her apology to Chu Qingyue, portraying herself as a victim of everyone’s bullying.

“Mom, why is our eldest cousin turning his back on his own family? I am his cousin, yet he’s not protecting me. Why is he so protective of an outsider?”

Ning Shuangshuang was full of indignation, harboring a mountain of grievances.

Fang Yuying appeared much calmer, “Shuangshuang, you’re married now. Why are you still so childish? You need to learn to be more composed.”

Ning Shuangshuang complained, “Is that all you have to say, Mother? Your daughter is being wronged, and you’re not going to do anything?”

“What can I do? Ning Yuting just married Chu Qingyue. He’s in the honeymoon phase. Whoever makes Chu Qingyue unhappy now will make Ning Yuting unhappy. If we want to deal with Chu Qingyue, we need a long-term plan,” Fang Yuying said, her eyes flashing with a dark light.

Ning Shuangshuang blinked, “Mother, do you have a plan?”

Fang Yuying picked up the scissors again and trimmed the flowers. At the same time, she said meaningfully, “Just wait and see.”

Ning Shuangshuang, understanding her mother’s implication, suddenly smiled.

At the Chu Residence.

At the entrance gate, Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingning were carrying bags of medicinal herbs back home. Coincidentally, Chu Qingyan also returned with bags of medicinal herbs.

The guards approached them and took the bags of herbs from the three sisters’ hands. “Where should we put these, young ladies?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Put them in the courtyard where I live.”

“Yes.”

The three sisters walked towards the mansion together, and Chu Qingyan asked curiously, “Fourth sister, fifth sister, why did you buy so many medicinal herbs?”

Chu Qingning replied, “Myself and fifth sister are planning to research a cream that can remove the stretch marks on the stomach and help resolve various problems for the noble ladies.”

Chu Qingyan raised three question marks in her head, “Marks on the stomach? I don’t have any marks.” She patted her smooth and flawless belly.

Chu Qingning chuckled, “You’ll have it when you grow up and get married.”

Chu Qingyan, now curious, looked at her two sisters with a desire for knowledge. “What kind of marks are those, and why do I have to get married to know about them?”

Chu Qingning touched Chu Qingyan’s head and was about to tactfully tell Chu Qingyan not to ask, but Chu Qingzhi said, “Tell her. It’s not bad for a girl to know earlier.”

Chu Qingning thought about it and realized that there was indeed no harm in it. Hence, she put her arm around Chu Qingyan’s shoulder and whispered to her.

The young girl widened her eyes after hearing it. “Oh my, it can happen like that?”

Chu Qingning advised, “Don’t go around telling everyone about it, just keep it to yourself, or people might tease you, okay?”

Chu Qingyan was still quite surprised but nodded, “I understand.”

As they entered the courtyard, Chu Qingning looked at the other two bags of medicinal herbs and asked, “Qingyan, why did you buy so many medicinal herbs?”

“I want to try making a freckle-removing cream myself. Sister Yuru told me that someone has already placed an order, and they ordered two boxes. They are in urgent need of it.”

Chu Qingzhi opened the bags and checked if the herbs were correct, “Do you remember the production process?”

“I remembered it from when I learned it before, and I also took notes, so I’m very clear about it.”

In that case, there was nothing to worry about. Chu Qingzhi said, “Then you can start. If you encounter any problems, we can discuss them together.”

Chu Qingyan nodded confidently, “Alright.”

The three sisters soon began working in the medicinal room that Chu Qingzhi had set up.

After a couple of hours, a knocking sound came from the door, followed by the voice of Tang Jinghong, “Qingzhi, are you inside?”

“I’m here.” Chu Qingzhi opened the door and led Tang Jinghong to the courtyard. “What’s the matter?”

Jang Jinghong could smell the herbal fragrance on Chu Qingzhi and felt invigorated. “I’d like to order a batch of wound-healing medicine and a batch of life-saving pills.”

“The wound-healing medicine is not a problem, but the life-saving pills require Snow Lotus as one of the ingredients, and I don’t have it in stock.”

“In that case, 1’11 place an order for the wound-healing medicine first. I’ll have my subordinates search for Snow Lotus, and if we find it, I’ll have it delivered to you before placing the order.”

“Sure.”

Tang Jinghong gently held Chu Qingzhi’s hand and with some regret, he said, “I have some business to attend to in the coming weeks, so I won’t be able to visit you frequently. I’ll have Nanny Han come and take care of you, is that okay?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Alright, it just so happens that I’m short of people here.” “Alright, I’ll go back and inform her.” Tang Jinghong still held Chu Qingzhi’s hand, reluctant to let go. “If you want to eat anything, just ask Nanny Han to make it for you. She’s been studying various dishes and wants to cook for you. Don’t be polite with her.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “I won’t stand on ceremony..”
