Chapter 621: Do As You See Fit Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee TranslationsNôv(el)B\\jnn

A guard respectfully reported, “Fifth Miss, the eldest son of the Minister of

Rites, Young Master Kong Guang, has arrived.”

He reported this with a lot of surprise in his heart. It seemed like anyone who came to see Fifth Miss had a high social status, which completely exceeded his expectations!

Chu Qingzhi said, “Please bring him into the guest hall; 1 will be there shortly.”

“Yes.”

In the guest hall.

Guided by the maid, Kong Guang arrived in the guest hall and sat down in a chair, showing a slight expression of joy and excitement on his face.

As soon as Chu Qingzhi entered the guest hall, he stood up and expressed his gratitude, “Miss Qingzhi, thank you for saving my wife and our two children. I was too caught up in my happiness earlier and didn’t get a chance to thank you. 1 came here today to personally express my gratitude.”

Chu Qingzhi had a favorable impression of Kong Guang. He didn’t seem like the type of person who only cared about continuing his family line without regard for his wife’s well-being, which was rare in this era.

“Saving your wife and children is what a doctor should do, Young Master, no need to be so polite.”

Kong Guang turned and took a box from the servant’s hand, handing it to Chu Qingzhi, “Miss Qingzhi, 1 cannot thank you enough for your great kindness. This is a token of our appreciation. Please accept it.”

The maid took the box from Kong Guang’s hand and stepped aside.

“Young Master, there’s no need for such formality.”

Kong Guang cupped his hands. “Miss Qingzhi, you must be busy. 1 won’t waste your time.”

Chu Qingzhi gestured to the butler, “Escort Young Master out.”

“Yes.”

Chu Qingzhi and the maid returned to her courtyard together. After the maid placed the box down, she left on her own accord.

Chu Qingzhi opened the box and smiled slightly. Everyone was quite practical. Inside the box were one thousand taels of silver, a large piece of deer antler, and a box of Sumu, both of which were precious medicinal materials.

She closed the box and put the items away.

In the General’s Mansion.

After Tang Jinghong returned to the mansion, he called for Wen Shaoyuan.

“Arrange for those who currently have no tasks to search for Snow Lotus. It doesn’t have to be limited to the territory of the Daling Dynasty. Once it’s found, have it immediately delivered to Qingzhi. Whoever finds it will be rewarded with one thousand two taels of silver.”

“Yes, General.”

In the free medical clinic area.

The free medical clinic in the capital was located near the government office. Those who had participated in the free clinic before were all dedicated and had successfully treated many people.

Yuan Hongjun raised his head and looked at the street in front of him. Fan Yuru didn’t come to the clinic yesterday. Why didn’t she come today too?

When Bao Linjiang saw this scene, he naturally wouldn’t let go of the opportunity to tease him. He walked over and gently bumped Yuan Hongjun’s shoulder. He teased, “What are you looking at? Your lover?”

Yuan Hongjun glared at Bao Linjiang. “What does it have to do with you? There are so many patients. Why don’t you go and treat them? Instead you come and ask for a beating!”

Bao Linjiang chuckled, “1 know what you’re looking at. It’s Fang Yuru, right? Why are you hiding? It’s not like it’s something scandalous!”

Yuan Hongjun frowned. “Little Abalone, is your skin itching?”

Bao Linjiang quickly stepped back, pretending to be in a fighting stance, “A gentleman uses his mouth but not his fists. We are on duty now. 1 won’t fight you.”

Yuan Hongjun looked at him with disdain. “Because you can’t beat me.”

“Who said 1 can’t beat you?” Bao Linjiang challenged, “Fine, after the free clinic ends this afternoon, let’s have a match.”

Yuan Hongjun pointed at Bao Linjiang and said fiercely, “Alright, watch how 1 beat you up.”

Bao Linjiang snorted. “Don’t be so confident. We’ve fought for so many years. Who has won?!”

“We’ll see!”

“Do you really think I’m afraid of you?!”

Fan Jingxu rode over on a horse and dismounted in front of Yuan Hongjun, looking quite annoyed. “Hongjun, my second sister hasn’t shown up for two days, and you haven’t even gone to look for her?”

“I…” Yuan Hongjun was speechless. He had no reason to look for Fan Yuru.

“What? If you hadn’t hinted at me, 1 wouldn’t have let my second sister go to the clinic with you. Now that you have the opportunity, you don’t appreciate it. You really disappoint me,” Fan Jingxu said, growing even angrier.

Yuan Hongjun opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond.

Seeing Yuan Hongjun’s bewildered expression, Fan Jingxu’s anger only grew.

“My second sister has been locked up by my father now. He intends to force her into an arranged marriage. I’m delivering the message, so you figure out what to do yourself.”

With that, he mounted his horse and left.

Yuan Hongjun stood rooted to the ground in a daze. His mind was overwhelmed by Fan Jingxu’s words just now.

Bao Linjiang nudged Yuan Hongjun and said as if he was watching a good show, “Are you going to find Fan Yuru?” He changed the topic. “However, if you go to find her, you have to be responsible for her.”

Yuan Hongjun turned to look at Bao Linjiang. “Don’t just watch from the sidelines. You and Rong Shiyu haven’t even had a proper conversation yet. If I recall correctly, the two of you haven’t exchanged more than fifty sentences in total. It’s even more challenging for you than it is for me.”

Struck in a sensitive spot, Bao Linjiang’s expression gradually faded, until it became completely blank, and he silently walked away.

Yuan Hongjun smirked, thinking, Always the loser!

At the Chu Residence.

With no other options, Yuan Hongjun had to turn to his master, who could do anything. “Master…”

Chu Qingzhi emerged from the medicine room, asking, “Why the long face?”

Yuan Hongjun sighed, “Master, General Fan plans to forcibly arrange a marriage for Fan Yuru. What should 1 do?”

“Why would he arrange a marriage forcibly?”

“I don’t know. Master, please help me think of a solution.” Yuan Hongjun’s mind was a mess, like a tangle of threads he couldn’t unravel.

“Have you found out who General Fan has in mind as a potential match?”

“I haven’t inquired yet, Master. I came straight here.”

Chu Qingzhi looked at her young disciple, who was clearly troubled. She found it somewhat amusing, “This matter can be easily resolved…”

Yuan Hongjun suddenly perked up and looked at Chu Qingzhi with enthusiasm.

“If you like Yuru, just go and propose. If you don’t like her that much, then stop it.”

Chu Qingzhi continued, “I understand your current thoughts. Do you have some affection for Yuru, but it’s not enough for you to propose?”

Yuan Hongjun nodded, “Yes.”

Prestige within large families was highly significant. When two children from different prominent families were betrothed, unless an unexpected situation occurred, it was unlikely that the engagement would be canceled. Otherwise, they would be expected to live together for the rest of their lives.

In other words, Yuan Hongjun was not yet determined to spend his life with Fan Yuru.

Of course, Fan Yuru felt the same way.

So, the current situation was quite awkward.

Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment, “Does Yuru have any affection for you?”

Yuan Hongjun shook his head slowly and helplessly. “No, she’s interested in someone else, someone like Brother Tang.”

Every time Brother Tang appeared, Fan Yuru would cast several glances at him. Of course, it wasn’t out of love, but rather pure admiration.

Chu Qingzhi was not surprised. Most girls liked tall and handsome men.

Hongjun and Linjiang were still young men, so they naturally did not have the charm of mature men. “If you don’t want to give up on Yuru, I’ll talk to General

Fan..”

Yuan Hongjun hesitated, “But master…”

Chu Qingzhi patiently waited for him to continue.

After a moment of hesitation, Yuan Hongjun finally spoke up, his voice filled with inner conflict, “Master, I’m afraid that I only have a shallow fondness for Yuru. What if 1 can’t develop deeper feelings for her in the future? What if 1 end up delaying her marriage?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled gently, “Yuru certainly wouldn’t want to be forced into an arranged marriage. 1’11 go and buy you two some time. If it turns out there’s no fate between you, then we can make other plans.”

Yuan Hongjun thought it over. The only viable solution seemed to be what his master suggested. He lowered his head apologetically, “Master, I’m sorry for the trouble.”

“It’s no trouble. You are my disciple, and it’s my duty to help when my disciple is in need.”

“Thank you, master.”

“You should get back to the free clinic, don’t keep the patients waiting. I’ll change into something more formal and go pay a visit.”

“Yes, Master.”

With Chu Qingzhi’s help, Yuan Hongjun arrived heavy-hearted but left feeling relieved.

After he left, Chu Qingzhi went to the medicine room to delegate some tasks to Chu Qingning and then changed her clothes before heading out.

In the residence of Prince Zhao.

In the courtyard, Consort Xin called Li Tingzhao over, smiling, “Tingzhao, I heard that General Fan is selecting a husband for his second daughter. Why don’t you propose?”

Li Tingzhao was taken aback, “Mother, why would General Fan consider me?”

It seemed like a sure way to be humiliated.

Consort Xin frowned, “Why wouldn’t he? You’re not Lin Yingmin anymore; you’re Li Tingzhao, a prince. It’s the Fan family who’s out of their league.”

Li Tingzhao, who had a sense of self-awareness, replied, “Mother, General Fan won’t agree. Besides, I don’t want to marry Fan Yuru…”

Consort Xin interrupted him angrily, “Then whom do you want to marry? Marry Chu Qingzhi? Aren’t you aware of her situation? Even if she weren’t betrothed, 1 wouldn’t agree to you marrying her. A country girl, how could she be worthy of a prince?”

Hearing this, Li Tingzhao felt guilty, “Mother, a girl like Chu Qingzhi is one in a million. Even if I wanted to marry her, she wouldn’t agree.”

Consort Xin asserted firmly, “No matter what you say, you must go and propose to Fan Yuru. By marrying her, you will no longer be invisible, and plenty of people will come to curry favor with you. I don’t want you to live an insignificant life forever.”

Li Tingzhao was a little shocked. Could it be that his mother had other intentions?

“Mother, what do you want?”

Consort Xin said, “I won’t make you do anything bad, but as a prince, you can’t just idle every day. You should take on some official duties, right?”

These words indeed reminded Li Tingzhao. Ever since he was titled a prince, he had been lost, not knowing what to do, feeling dull and listless every day. Her words cleared the fog in his mind.

“Mother, 1 won’t propose to Fan Yuru, but I will request an audience with the Emperor to arrange some duties for me.”

Annoyed, Consort Xin said, “Fine, if you won’t go, 1 will go myself.”

Li Tingzhao was greatly troubled, “Mother, I…”

Consort Xin decisively interrupted him, “Don’t worry about it anymore, I will handle it.”

By marrying Fan Yuru to Li Tingzhao, she not only hoped to bolster her son’s position but also hoped to make him more focused and stop him from always thinking about Chu Qingzhi!

She was determined to make this happen.

At General Fan’s Mansion.

In the room, Fan Yuru sat on a stool, grumpily saying, “Mother, tell father 1 don’t want to get married right now.”

Madam Fan, however, didn’t side with Fan Yuru, “Yuru, the incident with the Second Prince of Mobei Kingdom scared your father, and 1 was also worried for days. You should listen to your father and find a suitable marriage match. If you don’t want to hold a wedding right away, you can wait a couple of years.”

Fan Yuru couldn’t accept what she was hearing, “Mother, do you mean I have to find someone to get engaged to?”

Madam Fan nodded firmly, “Yes.”

Fan Yuru was distressed, “Mother, why aren’t you supporting me this time?”

Madam Fan held her daughter’s hand, “1 don’t want you to marry abroad. It’s good to marry someone in the capital where I can see you anytime. If you marry to another country, we might never see each other again.”

Fan Yuru understood her mother’s feelings, but she had no one she liked in the capital, “Mother, go back first, let me think.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Madam Fan’s first reaction was, “You’re not planning to run away, are you?”

Fan Yuru replied helplessly, “Father has soldiers guarding the mansion, I couldn’t escape even if 1 had wings.”

Realizing the truth of this, Madam Fan said, “Alright, think it over and decide quickly. Don’t go against your father, or you’ll be the one who suffers.”

“I understand.”

Madam Fan stood up and left. Not long after she left, a maid came in to report that Chu Qingzhi had arrived.

Fan Yuru’s eyes lit up, “Qingzhi is like a timely rain!” She hurried out to greet her.

Chu Qingzhi hadn’t been at General Fan’s mansion long when Consort Xin also arrived. However, one was there to see Fan Yuru and General Fan, and the other to see Madam Fan, so they didn’t cross paths.

“Qingzhi!” Fan Yuru embraced her affectionately, “I didn’t expect you to come see me. 1 feel like I have hope now.”

Chu Qingzhi asked with concern, “I heard you were grounded at home. Has your father been hard on you?”

Fan Yuru pulled Chu Qingzhi into the room, bitterly saying, “My father isn’t giving me a hard time, but he is forcing me to get engaged.”

Understanding why General Fan would do such a thing given recent events, Chu Qingzhi tentatively asked, “What are your thoughts on this?”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Without hesitation, Fan Yuru said, “1 don’t want to marry.” She then eagerly asked, “Qingzhi, is there a way to change my father’s mind?”

On her way here, Chu Qingzhi had calculated that Yuan Hongjun and Fan Yuru had a marital fate with a turning point coming in half a month.

Chu Qingzhi replied, “I’ll talk to General Fan. I can’t guarantee the outcome, but I’ll try my best to buy you some time.”

Fan Yuru looked at her trustingly, “My father is very stubborn and rarely changes his mind. So far, only Brother Tang has managed to change it, but 1 believe you can too.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled, “I’ll try.”

Fan Yuru personally escorted Chu Qingzhi to General Fan’s study and knocked on the door, “Father, Qingzhi has something to discuss with you.”

Inside, General Fan was busy with official work. Initially planning to decline the visit, he changed his mind, “Come in.”

He had always wanted to meet Jinghong’s fiancee but never had the chance. Now that she was here, he was curious to see what set this young lady apart.

Fan Yuru opened the door, giving Chu Qingzhi an encouraging smile, “I’ll wait for you outside, talk well.”

“I’ll do my best.” With that, Chu Qingzhi walked into the study..

Chapter 623: Not Mature Enough

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

General Fan lifted his head to examine Chu Qingzhi, who had approached the desk. Her appearance was not bad, even prettier than his own daughter, he thought. What struck him most were her eyes.

Those eyes were clear, beautiful, wise, and calm, seeming to contain everything yet also appearing exceedingly simple. It was a contradiction, yet those eyes managed to embody this paradox, instantly making it difficult to gauge her true nature.

With just a glance, General Fan could tell that Chu Qingzhi was not simple. He could not help but classify the girl in front of him as someone on the same level as him.

Chu Qingzhi bowed, “Greetings to General Fan.”

General Fan rose to meet her and said, “No need for formalities, please take a seat.”

Chu Qingzhi sat in the guest seat. Her sitting posture was upright and elegant. With her beautiful appearance, she looked like a stunning lady from a painting.

Observing General Fan, she noted internally that he must be at least 1.9 meters tall, his entire presence robust and even a bit rough.

Such a man had fathered daughters as beautiful as the Empress and Fan Yuru…

Their mother must be incredibly beautiful!

General Fan took his seat opposite her, silently admiring Tang Jinghong’s taste. Chu Qingzhi’s demeanor alone set her apart from ordinary women. He became curious about the village Jinghong lived in, which could produce such an outstanding woman.

Chu Qingzhi apologized, “1 hope General Fan will forgive my abrupt visit.”

General Fan said forthrightly, “We’re a family. Jinghong has returned to the capital for so many days. He should have brought you to see me long ago. He hasn’t visited for so long. I don’t know where he has gone now. 1 have to talk to him tomorrow.”

Chu Qingzhi explained, “Jinghong mentioned bringing me to visit, but General Fan was not home at the time. Now that you are, Jinghong has been busy, so we haven’t had a good opportunity.”

General Fan chuckled, “Then 1’11 pick a good time for you and Jinghong to come over for a meal.”

Chu Qingzhi obediently agreed.

“We’re family, so I won’t beat around the bush.” General Fan patted his knee. “If you have anything to say, just say it. There’s no need to hide it.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingzhi said bluntly, “It’s about Yuru.”

“Yuru?” General Fan was silent for a moment and asked hesitantly, “Do you have a good candidate?” Chu Qingzhi had chosen Jinghong, which meant that she had good taste. Her words were worth listening to.

“I do have someone in mind, but we need a little more time. 1 hope General Fan won’t push Yuru to decide too soon.”

General Fan asked with interest, “Can you tell me who it is?”

“Not at the moment, but 1 assure you there will be a result within a month.”

General Fan gazed at Chu Qingzhi. Speaking with such certainty, she must know something. “You’re sure that within a month, Yuru’s marriage will be settled?”

“Yes, and she will willingly agree. The other party’s family is a good match for General Fan’s household. Please rest assured.”

In this era, being an imperial physician represented the best medical minds in a nation, and as the head of these top physicians, the status was extremely high.

Ads by Pubfuture

Moreover, an imperial physician not only had status but also connections. The high families of the capital all sought treatment from them, and treating a new patient meant gaining another family’s network.

After pondering for a while, General Fan stated, “I’ll indulge Yuru for another month. In one month, she must settle her marriage matters.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Okay.”

Upon seeing Chu Qingzhi emerge from General Fan’s study, Fan Yuru eagerly pulled her to the yard, “Qingzhi, did you persuade my father not to rush me into an engagement?”

“You only have one month.”

“What? Just a month?” Fan Yuru was stunned, “Can 1 find someone I like in just a month?”

“Let’s try. A lot can happen in a month. Don’t lose hope; you might meet someone any day now.”

Fan Yuru wasn’t comforted, her pessimism evident, “Qingzhi, it seems I’m destined to spend my life with someone I don’t love.”

Chu Qingzhi patted her back, trying to console her, “You don’t need to be so pessimistic. Even people who haven’t met before marriage can develop feelings afterwards. Plus, you still have a month, which is luckier than those who marry blindly.” n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Comparing her situation, Fan Yuru mused, “I suppose 1 am much luckier.” Chu Qingzhi was right; at least she had a month.

After calming Fan Yuru down a bit, Chu Qingzhi reminded her, “You’ve missed two days of voluntary medical service…”

Fan Yuru was a very responsible person. When she heard this, she immediately packed up and prepared to leave. “It’s all my father’s fault for locking me up. Otherwise, 1 wouldn’t have been absent.”

“Your father is doing this for your good. If he could just improve his approach a bit, it would be better.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Fan Yuru agreed, “He does care about me…”

They left hurriedly, ready to head to the free clinic.

Meanwhile, after a conversation, Madam Fan politely rejected Consort Xin’s proposal.

She didn’t want another daughter marrying into the royal family, especially since Li Tingzhao, despite his good looks, lacked other abilities and wouldn’t appeal to Fan Yuru.

Consort Xin left General Fan’s residence, her expression grim. She didn’t dare say anything overboard, considering Madam Fan’s influence was much more significant than hers, a mere consort.

Suppressing her anger, Consort Xin stormed off from the residence.

Madam Fan sighed. There were so many people coming to propose marriage, but none of them were suitable.

Chu Qingzhi and Fan Yuru arrived at the free clinic.

Seeing Fan Yuru, Yuan Hongjun brightened up and approached them, “Master, Yuru, I’ve prepared silver-thread candy for you. Try some.”

Fan Yuru, who loved silver-thread candy, happily accepted, “Sure.”

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself, knowing to prepare the other person’s favorite treat shows genuine care.

Yuan Hongjun brought Chu Qingzhi and Fan Yuru into the government office. There were two rooms specially prepared for volunteer medical consultations. There was a table in the middle of one of the rooms. There were many delicious foods on the table, not only candies.

“Master, Yuru, please enjoy. I’ll be outside treating patients,” said Yuan Hongjun, before hastily leaving the room, appearing somewhat bashful.

Fan Yuru, watching his retreating figure, felt something was amiss, “Qingzhi, Hongjun seems a bit off.”

“How so?”

“I noticed he didn’t look me in the eye. He seemed evasive and awkward,” Fan Yuru observed as she sat next to Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Qingzhi smiled, asking softly, “What do you think of Hongjun?”

Fan Yuru took a bite of the candy, “He’s good at medicine, has a pleasant personality, and looks decent. Everything about him is quite nice, just not mature enough..”

Chapter 624: Mobilizing the Golden Guards

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Qingzhi followed up on Fan Yuru’s comment, asking, “What do you think maturity is?”

“Well… like Brother Tang,” Fan Yuru articulated. “Qingzhi, 1 envy you. If there was a boy similar to Brother Tang, 1 definitely wouldn’t resist the arranged marriage.”

Chu Qingzhi responded, “Hongjun is young; he’ll mature with time. He won’t always be like this.”

Fan Yuru was silent while eating candy. After a while, having finished her candy, she said, “Qingzhi, 1 have to go for the medical service now.”

She suddenly leaned closer to Chu Qingzhi and whispered, “Actually, Hongjun is quite cute. 1 don’t dislike him.”

After saying this, Fan Yuru left a bit embarrassedly.

Watching Fan Yuru’s swiftly departing figure, Chu Qingzhi thought to herself, ‘Disciple, your master can only do so much. From now on, it’s all up to you.’

At the Chu Residence.

“Fifth Sister, I’ve concocted the ointment.”

Just as Chu Qingning was about to rest, she did not expect to see Chu Qingzhi return the moment she opened the door. She hurriedly went back to take out the ointment.

Chu Qingzhi smelled the ointment, which had a fragrance of jasmine flowers mixed with a faint medicinal scent. It was surprisingly pleasant.

“Fourth Sister, you’re ready to graduate.”

Chu Qingning, feeling a sense of achievement, said, “Then I’ll make a few more boxes later.”

“There’s no rush. The ointment isn’t needed until the day after tomorrow. Rest for now, and we can make more together tonight.”

Ads by Pubfuture

“That sounds good.” Chu Qingning went to rest.

Chu Qingzhi took the ointment and was about to find someone to test it. She had just taken two steps when Shen Ruyue walked over. “Qingzhi.”

Shen Ruyue pulled Chu Qingzhi to sit on a stool. “Qingzhi, I have an idea.”

“What kind of ideas?”

“You previously mentioned finding an assistant for me. I’ve thought of two candidates, Xu Songnian and Xu Wenlin. What do you think?”

“These two children have good personalities and character. If you’ve thought it through, you can train them.”

“Would they be willing?”

“When the time comes, we’ll go back and ask them. We’ll see if they’re willing. If they’re unwilling, we’ll change the candidates.”

“Okay.” Shen Ruyue then mentioned, “Qingzhi, your brother and I have decided to go back tomorrow. I’m worried that Zhangjie and Yujun won’t be able to handle everything, and it might lead to chaos.”

Chu Qingzhi suggested, “We can all go back together after my second sister comes back for a visit with her husband. One more day won’t make a difference.”

After seeing Qingyue this time, she didn’t know when they would meet again.

Shen Ruyue agreed. “Then we’ll go back after seeing her.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “I’m going to test the medicine. Do you want to come?”

“What medicine?”

“I’ll tell you on the way.”

At dinner in the Chu Residence, the family was gathered in the dining hall.

Ads by Pubfuture

They were still getting used to Chu Qingyue’s absence, and the meal was somewhat silent.

During this silence, Li Qingyu suddenly spoke, “Today, two matchmakers came to propose marriage for Qingshuang. What are your thoughts on this?”

Chu Qingshuang, caught off guard, choked on her food. It took her a moment to regain composure. “Mother, what are you talking about?”

Li Qingyu detailed the day’s events to everyone. “You all decide. Those two matchmakers are waiting for my reply.”

Chu Qingshuang immediately expressed her stance. “Mother, I don’t want to get married. It’s obvious they have ulterior motives; I won’t marry into such families.”

Even the usually reticent Chu Rong spoke up, “I disagree.”

Grandpa Chu and Granny Chu also shook their heads. First, they didn’t know much about the two families, and secondly, Qingshuang wouldn’t be able to adapt to such complicated families. She would surely have a hard time if she married into them.

Li Qingyu asked the children, “What do you think?”

Chu Xuhua analyzed, “Both the Zhang and Cai families are among the top porcelain families in the capital. Logically, they wouldn’t look up to a family like ours. Their interest in Qingshuang must be because of her talent in porcelain, with a strong ulterior motive… Such a marriage would definitely be throwing Qingshuang into the fire. I don’t approve.”

When faced with a difficult situation, her big brother had learned to analyze the situation calmly. Chu Qingzhi agreed, “I support my brother’s view.”

Li Qingyu looked around at everyone, “So, should I refuse them tomorrow?”

Chu Qingshuang quickly said, “Please do.”

The dinner became even more silent after this discussion, and it was a struggle to finish the meal.

Under the bright moonlight.

Wu Yaqing left her room and went to the backyard. She took out a unique whistle and blew into it.

Soon, a shadow swiftly approached from the darkness and landed in front of Wu Yaqing, greeting with a bow, “Princess.

Ads by Pubfuture

Wu Yaqing stood straight, one hand behind her back, her expression serious, exuding the aura of a princess. “Have you found out anything about the matter I asked you to investigate?”

The black shadow took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Wu Yaqing. “Princess, please take a look.”

Wu Yaqing took the letter and read it carefully.

The contents of the letter were about Lu Yichen. It was a very detailed record of what Lu Yichen had experienced since he was born.

It turned out Lu Yichen was actually a king.

The Dating Dynasty currently had one hereditary king from a non-imperial family. Such kings were granted titles for helping the founder of the dynasty conquer the country.

Originally, there were seven, but over time, the other six disappeared for various reasons—treason, internal family strife, or being stripped of their titles for committing major crimes. Now, only one remained.

The current king was Lu Lizhang, in his forties, and usually very low-key, to the point of being almost invisible.

Lu Lizhang had a wife and two concubines.

His wife gave birth to twin brothers in their second year of marriage. According to tradition, if twins of the same gender are born, the younger sibling must be sent away to avoid bringing misfortune to the family.

Lu Yichen was that younger brother.

He was not only sent away but also given to an organization to be trained as an assassin. During those years, he faced harsh trials, including surviving in deserts and jungles, being thrown into snake pits, and being forced to fight his peers to the death…

After passing numerous tests, his first assignment was to take Tang Jinghong’s life.

However, he did not expect that during the process of following and investigating Tang Jinghong, Lu Yichen would be convinced by Tang Jinghong’s righteousness in protecting the country. Hence, he put down the weapon and joined the army. Fie even sneaked into the military camp controlled by Tang Jinghong. Later on, the two of them killed the enemy together and became good friends.

However, Lu Yichen, who had deliberately concealed his whereabouts, was eventually found not long ago.

The other party used Lu Yichen’s mother’s life to force him to go back.

After Lu Yichen was sent away and his whereabouts were unknown, his mother missed him so much that she fell ill. Later on, when she felt better, she converted to Buddhism. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

This was the only worry in Lu Yichen’s heart.

After reading the letter, Wu Yaqing angrily crumpled it into a ball and coldly ordered, “Gather the Golden Guards and rescue him!”

The Golden Guards were an elite force trained specifically for Wu Yaqing by her mother when Wu Yaqing was ten. Each member was exceptionally skilled, capable of fighting hundreds, and their sole mission was to obey the Princess’s orders.

The shadow bowed and responded, “Yes, Princess..”

Chapter 625: Rescue in the Water Prison

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the water prison.

In the dark and damp cell, many disobedient or erring subordinates were imprisoned. They were chained by their hands and suspended in the air, with their lower bodies submerged in water.

Some of them had also been whipped, their bodies covered in crisscrossing wounds.

In the fifth cell of the water prison, Lu Yichen was being punished in the same way, but luckily, he hadn’t been whipped.

As the door of the water prison opened and closed, several people walked in, led by a woman in black. She had slightly curly hair, indicating her mixed heritage.

The woman, named Qiao Hongyun, led her group directly to the fifth cell, looking at Lu Yichen with a complicated gaze. “Why do you have to put yourself in such a situation?”

Lu Yichen glanced at Qiao Hongyun, his eyes icy cold. “What are you doing here?”

Qiao Hongyun pressed her lips together. “Godfather said, if you marry me, he will let you out and won’t make things difficult for your mother.”

Lu Yichen hated being threatened the most. Hearing this, his eyes turned as cold and sharp as a blade. “Go back and tell him to give up on that thought.”

Having been controlled for the first half of his life, he would rather die than let them control him again.

Qiao Hongyun seemed hurt. “So, you have no feelings for me at all?”

Ads by Pubfuture

Lu Yichen sarcastically replied, “You belong to him. Do you think 1 should have feelings for you? Qiao Hongyun, you should wake up. You’re the one who disclosed my whereabouts, right?”

Qiao Hongyun denied, “I didn’t betray you.”

But she was the one who had betrayed him. Jealous of Lu Yichen’s freedom and companionship, she couldn’t stand that they both lived in darkness yet he seemed to have it all.

Lu Yichen glared at her, ordering, “Get out!”

Qiao Hongyun reluctantly spoke, “I just wanted to save you, nothing else. Lu Yichen, cooperate with me, and 1 can quickly get you out.”

Lu Yichen’s tone was icy, “I don’t need your rescue.”

“Do you want to be locked up here for the rest of your life? Yichen, it was Godfather’s intention to let you marry me, not mine. I know you’re not interested in me. Why don’t you put on an act? Come out first?”

“I won’t take this kind of thing lightly.”

Qiao Hongyun questioned resentfully, “Do you want to marry Wu Yaqing?”

Lu Yichen’s heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged. He warned her with a fierce look, “What do you mean?” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Qiao Hongyun’s tone softened. “I know that you’re very close to a girl, and Godfather also knows that. 1 don’t have any other intentions. I just want to tell you that Godfather knows more than you think. Don’t make the wrong choice.”

Lu Yichen suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted. He had a feeling that he could not break out of the cage no matter what. He clenched his fists and said with a cold expression, “What exactly does he want?”

Qiao Hongyun didn’t know her godfather’s intentions, but she was sure he wouldn’t let Lu Yichen go. “Lu Yichen, this standoff isn’t doing you any good…” Lu Yichen shouted in a deep voice, “Get lost!”

At that moment, a commanding voice echoed from outside, “Hand over the person, or 1’11 bloodbath this place!”

Lu Yichen’s heart skipped a beat. It was Wu Yaqing’s voice. How did she find this place and say such domineering words? Who was she?

Qiao Hongyun’s expression changed slightly. This place was remote, and it was unlikely that anyone would be able to find it. How could the other party have found this place?

Thoughts kept running through her mind, and she immediately walked out with her men.

This was a courtyard, and the surroundings were silent. The night seemed to have isolated this place from the surroundings. Wu Yaqing and three hundred golden guards were distributed in the courtyard. The golden guards were dressed in martial arts attire, and each of them stood tall and straight, exuding an imposing aura.

Wu Yaqing, dressed in riding attire and draped in a black cloak that fluttered in the wind, exuded a blend of nobility and boldness.

Qiao Hongyun looked around, her eyes dark. “Wu Yaqing, I’ve underestimated you. 1 didn’t expect you to find this place and bring so many people with you!”

Wu Yaqing threatened in a low voice, “Hand over Lu Yichen, and I’ll spare your life!”

Qiao Hongyun laughed, “You’re too naive, Wu Yaqing. Either you kill us all and rescue Lu Yichen, or… you’ll be staying here too!”

“You think you can keep me?” Wu Yaqing scoffed scornfully. “1 doubt you have that capability!”

As she stepped back, Wu Yaqing waved her hand, giving the order, “Kill them!”

Qiao Hongyun also commanded, “Kill them!”

The two sides clashed fiercely, turning the small courtyard into a battlefield. Blood splattered on a nearby lantern, causing it to sway slightly in the light breeze.

Wu Yaqing and Qiao Hongyun locked eyes across the chaos, each unyielding.

Inside the water prison, Lu Yichen’s heart was in turmoil. He had considered all possibilities but never imagined Wu Yaqing would come to rescue him!

Ads by Pubfuture

The Golden Guards were incredibly powerful and soon left Qiao Hongyun’s men dead.

Seeing this scene, Qiao Hongyun’s expression was extremely ugly. She immediately wanted to escape. “Wu Yaqing, 1’11 remember you!” After saying this, she jumped onto the roof and prepared to escape.

“I won’t give you that chance!” Wu Yaqing raised her arm, firing three sleeve arrows, all striking Qiao Hongyun.

Qiao Hongyun, mid-leap, was hit and fell to the ground. She glared at Wu Yaqing, dying with her eyes open in defiance.

The Golden Guards cleared the path, and Wu Yaqing entered the water prison, quickly finding Lu Yichen. “Get him out of here.”

The guards broke the lock, entered the water, cut the chains, and helped Lu Yichen out of the cell.

Lu Yichen had been watching Wu Yaqing since she entered, his eyes shedding their coldness, revealing surprise, gratitude, and a mix of emotions..

Wu Yaqing patted Lu Yichen’s face, “Are you alright?”

Lu Yichen suddenly came back to his senses. He was actually engrossed in Wu Yaqing just now. “I’m fine. Thank you for saving me.”

Wu Yaqing said cheerfully, “There’s a saying in the Dating Dynasty, a life-saving grace should be repaid with a lifelong commitment. Now that I’ve saved you, not to mention a lifelong commitment, your life is mine.”

Lu Yichen readily agreed, “Alright.”

Wu Yaqing nodded in satisfaction. “Can you walk? Let’s leave this place first. This place is full of corpses. It’s not comfortable to stay here.”

Under Lu Yichen’s guidance, the group arrived at a hidden courtyard. “Everyone, rest here. No one knows that this is my place.”

Wu Yaqing looked around; it was indeed secluded. She instructed the Golden Guards to treat the injured and rest the others, as they were no longer needed here.

The Golden Guards vanished without a trace.

Lu Yichen also fell to the ground and fainted.

Wu Yaqing struggled to carry Lu Yichen back to his room. Touching his forehead, she noted, “You are burning up!”

Her gaze shifted to Lu Yichen’s wet clothes. Wearing wet clothes would definitely worsen his condition…

After pacing around, she made a bold decision… Squinting her eyes, she undressed Lu Yichen, covered him with a blanket, and left the room to find Chu Qingzhi..

Chapter 626: Ingrate

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

At the Chu Residence.

“Qingzhi, you must come with me to save Lu Yichen. He’s running a high fever, and I don’t know how long it’s been. If it continues, he might end up with brain damage.”

Chu Qingzhi was stunned.

Following Wu Yaqing, Chu Qingzhi arrived at a secluded courtyard.

On the way, Wu Yaqing explained the situation to Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Qingzhi silently thought about how the classic story of a domineering CEO rescuing his love interest was completely reversed in Wu Yaqing’s case. She was somewhat curious to know what Lu Yichen must have felt and thought at the moment of his rescue.

“He’s been in the water for too long.” After giving Lu Yichen a medicinal pill, Chu Qingzhi said, “He should recover from the fever soon. After that, he just needs to rest.”

“Thank you, Qingzhi.”

“Yaqing, do you know why Lu Yichen willingly went back to be punished?” Knowing Lu Yichen’s martial arts skills, he wouldn’t have ended up imprisoned unless he had chosen to.

Wu Yaqing nodded and said sadly, “For his mother, but I think it’s unlikely. Lu Yichen has an older brother, his father’s favorite son. It’s unlikely they would harm their mother.”

“Wait a minute!” Chu Qingzhi was confused, “What brother?” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wu Yaqing took out a letter from her garment and handed it to Chu Qingzhi, “Qingzhi, take a look.”

After quickly reading the letter, Chu Qingzhi was surprised by Lu Yichen’s identity. She folded the letter and returned it to Wu Yaqing, “Why did you investigate Lu Yichen?”

Wu Yaqing was evasive and hesitant, “Well, I… I…”

Ads by Pubfuture

Seeing that Wu Yaqing didn’t want to explain, Chu Qingzhi didn’t press further, “Alright, I won’t ask. Take good care of him. I need to leave.”

Wu Yaqing quickly asked, “Don’t you need to write a prescription?”

“No, one pill is enough.”

Wu Yaqing saw Chu Qingzhi off, “Be careful on your way back.”

“Okay.”

After sending Chu Qingzhi off, Wu Yaqing returned to the room and sat beside the bed, tracing Lu Yichen’s firm and handsome face with her gaze.

“Your life has been so hard. Even though you have parents and the closest brother, it’s hard to meet them, and even the environments you live in are starkly opposite.”

“Your brother grew up in luxury, while you grew up in darkness and constant danger. The fact that you grew up at all is a miracle.”

“Lu Yichen, you won’t suffer anymore. 1 will protect you.”

Wu Yaqing lay down beside the bed and fell asleep, her murmuring voice fading away. At this moment, Lu Yichen opened his eyes.

He turned his head and looked at the girl beside the bed, his gaze gentle.

His fingers moved. He slowly raised his hand and gently touched Wu Yaqing’s head. “Little girl, thank you for doing this for me.”

A faint smile appeared on his lips, a heartfelt and sincere smile.

But the next second, his smile froze.

He looked at his bare arms and immediately touched his body. He was not wearing anything. He was not wearing any clothes! Where were his clothes?

His gaze searched the room and finally landed on his clothes hanging on a rack, soaking wet with a puddle of water on the floor.

Ads by Pubfuture

The question now was, who undressed him?

His gaze shifted to Wu Yaqing. It couldn’t be her, right? She was a lady and wouldn’t be so bold. It must have been someone brought by Wu Yaqing who undressed him. Yes, that must be it.

Comforting himself, he felt much better.

Wu Yaqing, worried about Lu Yichen, wasn’t sleeping deeply. She woke up groggily, not yet opening her eyes, and reached out to touch Lu Yichen’s forehead. Feeling that his fever had subsided, she sighed with relief, “The fever’s gone.”

Lu Yichen’s body froze. The hand on his forehead was delicate and warm. It was like a layer of soft silk against his skin. After a while, seeing that Wu Yaqing did not move her hand away, he asked unnaturally, “Are you done touching it?”

Wu Yaqing was startled and quickly withdrew her hand, “You’re awake?”

Lu Yichen replied, “I’ve been awake for a while.”

“Oh, oh,” Wu Yaqing quickly got up, “Are you hungry? Should 1 make you something to eat?”

“There’s no need.” The gentleness in Lu Yichen’s eyes disappeared and his gaze turned cold. “Now that I’m fine, can you leave?”

Wu Yaqing didn’t know what to say.

“I saved you, and this is how you treat me?”

Lu Yichen indifferently said, “Thank you for saving me. I owe you my life. If you ever want to take it, feel free to do so.”

Wu Yaqing stared at Lu Yichen in disbelief, as if she couldn’t believe his ingratitude, “You… you…”

“If there’s nothing else, please leave,” Lu Yichen said, then turned over, showing his back to Wu Yaqing.

I’m sorry, but saving me from the cell doesn’t solve the problem. 1 can’t be near you now, or it will definitely bring you danger. Once I’ve resolved everything, I’ll come to apologize to you.

Wu Yaqing stomped her feet. She was so angry that her breathing quickened. She said angrily, “I’ll just treat it as saving an ingrate. It’s too infuriating! It’s too infuriating!!”

Ads by Pubfuture

Muttering under her breath, Wu Yaqing stormed out of the courtyard in a huff.

Lu Yichen listened to her retreating footsteps, silently apologizing in his heart several times.

“Boohoo…”

Wu Yaqing hugged Chu Qingzhi aggrievedly and cried loudly. “Qingzhi, I’ve never suffered such a grievance. That ingrate… He’s too ungrateful.”

Chu Qingzhi wasn’t sure what had happened and struggled to hold back her laughter, “Yaqing, he might have his reasons.”

“Can’t he tell me his reasons?”

“Can’t 1 help him solve the problem?”

“Damn man, do i look weak?”

“Wasn’t i able to rescue him from prison? Doesn’t that prove my strength?”

“I’m a princess, the most prestigious and richest in An Huai Kingdom. What problem can’t 1 solve?”

“That ungrateful wretch, he not only forgets favors but also looks down on people. He’s gone too far!”

“Boohoo…”

Chu Qingzhi almost couldn’t help laughing, “Yaqing…”

Wu Yaqing sobbed and acted coquettishly, “Qingzhi, don’t try to comfort me. Let me cry for a while; I’ll be fine after I’m done crying.”

Chu Qingzhi patted Wu Yaqing’s back and couldn’t help but laugh silently. Yaqing was too cute. “Alright, take your time to cry. After you’ve cried, you’ll feel better.”

Shen Ruyue entered Chu Qingzhi’s room and saw Wu Yaqing crying. She immediately asked with concern, “What happened?”

Wu Yaqing wiped her tears with a handkerchief, turned to Shen Ruyue, and said, “I had a bit of trouble and needed to cry it out. I’m fine now.”

“Is the issue resolved? If not, you can talk about it. We can think of a solution together.”

“It’s resolved. I’m fine now.”

Shen Ruyue didn’t ask further and turned to Chu Qingzhi, “The little monk and the abbot will continue their journey. They are waiting at the door to say goodbye to you.”

“I understand,” Chu Qingzhi replied, patting Wu Yaqing’s shoulder before leaving the room..

Chapter 627: Picking Herbs in the Mountain

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The young monk made a formal bow to Chu Qingzhi, his eyes brimming with reluctance. “Miss Chu, I don’t know when we will meet again,” he said.

Chu Qingzhi gently touched the young monk’s bald head with a smile, saying softly, “It won’t be too long.”

The young monk, looking up at Chu Qingzhi’s smiling face, couldn’t help but hug her in the end. “Miss Chu, I am leaving now.”

“Alright,” Chu Qingzhi responded softly. “Listen to your master and be a good boy. If you pass by my house, come and have a meal.”

The young monk grinned sweetly, replying, “Okay.”

The abbot made a formal bow to everyone, “Thank you all for your hospitality. We are taking our leave now.”

Everyone returned the gesture, “Master, take care on your journey.”

The abbot, leading the young monk, gradually walked away.

Embracing the transient nature of their gathering, the abbot strode forward with detachment and resolution.

The young monk followed behind, turning back every few steps, his eyes glistening with tears, evoking a sense of tenderness in those who saw him.

Their figures slowly blended into the crowd.

Da Bai, the tiger, watched them go, his round eyes seeming puzzled. Why were they leaving?

Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingning arrived at their neighbor’s house and were warmly received.

A maid led them into the young madam’s room. “Please have a seat, our young madam will be out shortly.”

The young madam she was talking about was called Yue Donglian. She had been married for three years and gave birth to a child in the second year. There were many stretch marks on her stomach. She had been troubled and wanted to get rid of them. She had tried many ways, but without exception, they all failed.

When Chu Qingzhi approached her and asked her to try the new ointment, Yue Donglian agreed without hesitation.

Upon hearing of Chu Qingzhi’s arrival, Yue Donglian quickly came out from the inner room with a welcoming smile. “Please sit down, young ladies.”

Chu Qingning inquired with concern, “Madam, how do you feel about it?”

Yue Donglian said excitedly, “The effect is very good. So far, I’ve applied a total of three times. To compare, 1 only applied it to half of the area, and the treated half has recovered at least sixty to seventy percent. The results are significant.”

She continued, “Miss, can I buy the remaining ointment from you? No matter the price, 1’11 buy it. Also, 1 have many friends who need this ointment. Do you have more of it?”

“No need for payment, we’ll give this bottle of ointment to you as a gift,” Chu Qingzhi said. She continued, “We are still in the process of making more ointment. It’s not available in large quantities, priced at ten silver taels per bottle. If you really need it, you can place an order at our house.”

Yue Donglian nodded, “Miss, can this ointment be used for other purposes as well, like scars from burns and scalds?”

Chu Qingzhi replied, “Yes, it can, but for skin injuries, it needs to be applied several times.”

“That’s wonderful,” Yue Donglian said happily and reflectively. “So many women suffer from this problem, and now with your ointment, it can finally be solved.”

Hearing this, Chu Qingzhi’s sister suddenly understood the significance of studying gynecology as suggested by her younger sister.

Chu Qingzhi said, “Anyone who needs it can buy it from our house. You can spread the word about this among your friends.”

“I will,” Yue Donglian assured.

“Thank you for testing the ointment for us, Madam. We won’t disturb you any longer now.”

“Take care, Miss,” said Yue Donglian as she personally saw them out.

She then immediately instructed her maid to inform her close friends about the wonderful product she had discovered.

On the way home, Chu Qingning said, “Fifth Sister, I understand what you mean.”

Chu Qingzhi asked, “So, what have you decided?”

Clasping her fist, Chu Qingning vowed, “1 will focus on gynecology and aim to solve various difficult cases for young women.”

“That’s good.”

A well-dressed woman with two maids walked towards Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingning.

The woman bowed. “I’m Nanny Zhang from the household of the Vice Minister of Personnel. It’s an honor to meet Miss Chu Qingzhi and Miss Chu Qingning.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chu Qingzhi looked at the three of them in confusion. “Nanny Zhang, what’s the matter?”

Nanny Zhang said politely, “I heard that Miss Chu has just successfully delivered the children for the young madam of the Minister of Rites. Our madam is about to give birth too. Miss Chu, please help.”

Seeing an opportunity for her sister to practice, Chu Qingzhi agreed, “We’ll prepare and follow you shortly.”

Nanny Zhang said happily, “Alright, thank you, Miss Chu.”

After Chu Qingzhi and her sister returned home to gather a medical kit, gloves, cotton swabs, cotton wool, and hemostatic drugs, they followed Nanny to the Vice Minister of Personnel’s residence.

In the guest hall.

‘A Thousand Miles Matchmaker’ smiled and tugged at her handkerchief as she asked Li Qingyu, “Sister Qingyu, have you considered it?”

Chapter 628: Picking Herbs in the Mountain (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

‘A Thread of Fate’ took a sip of tea. She didn’t say anything, but her ears were pricked up. She didn’t know which family Li Qingyu would choose.

Li Qingyu smiled awkwardly, “I feel that both the Zhang and Cai families are of too high a status for us. Our family really isn’t a match for either, so perhaps we should drop this marriage proposal?”

Both matchmakers were taken aback. Li Qingyu didn’t seem to like either family! Did she hope to marry her daughter into an official’s family instead?

‘A Thousand Miles Matchmaker’s smile faded a little. “Pardon me for asking, Sister Qingyu, did we do something wrong?”

Li Qingyu replied, “It’s not about you. It’s our family’s issue. Marriage is about matching social statuses, and our family, being just rural villagers, really can’t match up to yours. Please understand.”

The matchmakers exchanged glances, having never encountered such a situation before where such good conditions were also declined.

Li Qingyu was firm in her stance, “Thank you both for your effort, but my daughter doesn’t have such fortune, I’m sorry.”

After some persuasion, seeing that Li Qingyu remained unyielding, the matchmakers left without further argument.

Li Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief as she sent them off, hoping they wouldn’t come again.

Yang Zhenzhen, accompanied by a maid, approached politely, “Madam Chu, is Qingshuang home?”

Li Qingyu, having a good impression of Yang Zhenzhen, smiled in response, “She is. Do you need her for something?”

Yang Zhenzhen gestured to the box held by the maid, “I’ve collected a few books about porcelain for Qingshuang and brought them over as a gift.”

“That’s very kind of you.” Li Qingyu led Yang Zhenzhen to Qingshuang’s courtyard. “Qingshuang, Zhenzhen is here.”

Chu Qingshuang ran out of the house. “Zhenzhen.”

Yang Zhenzhen took the box from the maid and handed it to Chu Qingshuang. “This is for you.”

Chu Qingshuang opened the box and took out the books inside. They were all about porcelain. There were a total of five books. “So many books! 1 can’t accept this without offering something in return. Zhenzhen, can I pay you for these?” “We’re friends, aren’t we? Friends don’t need to be so formal,” Yang Zhenzhen suggested thoughtfully, “If you feel bad, how about making a set of those cute cups you use for drinking water for me?”

The cup that Chu Qingshuang drank from had a cartoonish cat design and was even colored. It was very cute and beautiful.

Chu Qingshuang agreed readily. “Alright, it’s settled then.”

Yang Zhenzhen smiled and nodded. “Yes.”

Cai Family.

‘A Thread of Fate’ walked into the Cai residence in disappointment and told Madam Cai Li Qingyu’s answer.

Ads by Pubfuture

Madam Cai was not surprised. Li Qingyu’s attitude yesterday was already an omen. “Thank you. You can go now. If there’s anything else, I’ll send someone to inform you.”

‘A Thread of Fate’ did not receive any money. She bowed unhappily and left.

Madam Cai came to the study and said unhappily, “Master, Li Qingyu rejected the marriage proposal and the Zhang family at the same time.”

“Rejected?” Cai Yuting frowned. “Why?”

“Li Qingyu said it’s about incompatible social statuses, and she doesn’t want to aim too high,” Madam Cai actually admired Li Qingyu a little. To be able to reject such a huge benefit was not something an ordinary woman could do.

Cai Yuting pondered for a moment. “Forget it. Let’s not force relationships, nor create animosity. That young girl is still young and won’t be a significant threat for us for a few more years.”

Madam Cai nodded. “I understand.”

Meanwhile, the Zhang Family discussed the same matter and, weighing the pros and cons, decided similarly to the Cai Family.

At the Yang residence.

Yang Zhenzhen came to her father Yang Yiwen’s study, “Dad, I’ve delivered the books to Qingshuang.”

“Good.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yang Zhenzhen was a bit puzzled, “Dad, why did we do this?”

Ads by Pubfuture

Yang Yiwen patted his daughter’s head gently, “There are many ways to befriend someone, and the most ingenious way is to win their heart.”

“If you befriend Chu Qingshuang sincerely and treat each other with genuine respect, in the future, even if she doesn’t directly benefit you, she will remember your kindness and consider your interests to some extent.” “Qingshuang is exceptionally talented and will surely achieve great things in the future. Plus, she has a capable older sister. You won’t lose out by maintaining a good relationship with her.”

Yang Zhenzhen understood. “Father, I understand.”

In late September, it’s time to harvest Pineilia, Cornus, Cassia Seeds, Bupleurum, Lily, and Scutellaria.

As long as he was in the capital, Yuan Hongjun would go to Dragon Ridge Mountain to pick herbs. After picking the herbs, he would plant the seeds to ensure the harvest next year.

The terrain of Dragon Ridge Mountain was dangerous and there were many ferocious beasts inside. Nine out of ten people who entered would not be able to come out. Only those with rich experience in entering the mountain would pick herbs. However, how many such people could be picked was a drop in the bucket for the entire Dragon Ridge Mountain.

Fan Yuru had never gathered herbs on a mountain and was curious. When she heard Yuan Hongjun was going, she insisted on joining him. Yuan Hongjun didn’t refuse.

Each carrying a basket with cloth bags, a small hoe, and a sickle, and accompanied by Da Bai, they headed into the mountains.

Yuan Hongjun borrowed Da Bai for this trip. With the tiger leading the way, it was much safer.

Da Bai, who hadn’t been to the mountains for quite a long time, seemed excited to see the wilderness.

Fan Yuru suddenly asked, “Why didn’t we bring Linjiang and others?”

Yuan Hongjun waved his hand. “Little Abalone isn’t going to Dragon Ridge Mountain to pick herbs. If he wants to enter the mountain, he’s going to Mount Qiyun.”

“Oh, so you’ve divided the territories?”

“That’s right. Little Abalone and 1 are arch-enemies. Every time we meet, we’re always at odds with each other. If we were to go to the same mountain to pick herbs, we’d probably end up fighting all the time.”

Fan Yuru was puzzled. “Then why did you all acknowledge Qingzhi as your master?”

“Little Abalone was shameless. Master had no choice but to accept him.”

She laughed, “I never imagined you guys could be so stubborn and mischievous..”

Chapter 629: Heavy Rain Blocking the Way

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yuan Hongjun quickly denied, “I wasn’t the one being stubborn, it was

Linjiang.”

Being mischievous was something kids liked to do. Despite his young age, his character was mature, and he would never do such a thing.

Fan Yuru smiled but did not say anything.

Seeing that Fan Yuru didn’t believe him, Yuan Hongjun hurriedly said, “I’m telling the truth.”

Fan Yuru could not help but laugh. “Alright, alright. I believe you, I believe you.”

Yuan Hongjun glanced at Fan Yuru, feeling somewhat helpless. Well, let the facts speak for themselves.

At the residence of the Vice Minister of Personnel.

It was the second young madam of the house who was giving birth.

In the yard, the Vice Minister, his wife, the second young master, and some other family members were waiting anxiously.

When Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingning arrived, Second Young Madam had just broken her amniotic fluid.

A midwife was inside helping with the delivery.

The imperial physician was also there. They invited Chu Qingzhi to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

The Vice Minister approached Chu Qingzhi politely, “I’m sorry to trouble you, Miss Qingzhi.”

The second young master also came over, looking very worried, “Miss Qingzhi, my wife has always been frail. I’m afraid the childbirth might not go smoothly. Please take extra care.”

Ads by Pubfuture

“We will ensure the safety of mother and child.”

Chu Qingzhi brought Chu Qingning into the delivery room.

The two sisters entered the delivery room, disinfected their hands with alcohol, put on white gowns and masks, then checked the pulse and health of the expectant mother.

After examining her, Chu Qingning’s brows furrowed, “Sister, her body is not suitable for pregnancy. After barely carrying the baby for ten months, her body is extremely weak, and her pulse is so faint it’s almost imperceptible. If this continues, it could be very dangerous.”

Chu Qingzhi also checked the pulse, confirming Chu Qingning’s diagnosis, “Give her a heart-strengthening pill.”

Chu Qingning did as she was told. “Fifth Sister, 1 think we can give her some sugar water or some candied plums to replenish her strength. What do you think?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Sure.”

A maid approached, “Miss, we have prepared ginseng slices. Should we give them to Second Young Madam?”

Chu Qingning looked at Chu Qingzhi. Chu Qingzhi said, “Fourth Sister, you decide. If it’s wrong, I’ll correct it for you.”

Chu Qingning took a deep breath and composed herself. She said to the maid, “We don’t need the ginseng slices for now.”

Her expression was serious. Every word she said was powerful and convincing. “Prepare some sugar water and feed it to your madam.”

“Yes.”

Chu Qingzhi looked at Chu Qingning in admiration. She looked like a doctor now.

Second Young Madam reached out and pulled Chu Qingzhi’s hand, pleading, “Miss Chu, you must save the child.”

Chu Qingzhi held Second Madam’s hand. “You’re the only one who can save the child. Do you understand?”

The Second Young Mistress was stunned, and her eyes lit up again. “1 understand.”

Chu Qingning found it amazing that a single sentence could revive the hopes of a woman on the verge of despair. She secretly memorized this encouraging method in her heart.

Chu Qingzhi said to Chu Qingning, “Let’s examine her together to determine whether it’s going to be a normal delivery or if there are any other issues, so we can prepare in advance.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Chu Qingning nodded. “Okay.”

After three hours, Second Young Madam gave birth to a son.

The midwife bathed the baby and then carried him out to announce the good news.

“Ugh…” Chu Qingning suddenly ran to the side, feeling nauseous and unable to control her stomach’s churning.

Chu Qingzhi said, “Sister, you go rest first, I’ll handle things here.”

Chu Qingning did not refuse. “Fifth Sister, call me if you need my help.” Then, she rushed out of the door.

Seeing the childbirth scene up close for the first time, she couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed.

Second Young Madam smiled gently and said, “Miss Chu, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Chu Qingzhi took out a handkerchief and wiped Second Young Madam’s sweat. “After cleaning up, you can eat. Eat more, and your body will recover better.”

Second Young Madam nodded happily. “Okay, 1 understand.”

The midwife smiled and said, “This is the first time I’ve seen a pregnant woman so energetic after giving birth.”

With the help of Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingning, Second Young Madam suffered less. Overall, the delivery went very smoothly. The mother suffered less, so she was naturally in good spirits.

Second Young Madam looked at Chu Qingzhi, her eyes filled with gratitude.

“It’s all thanks to Miss Chu and Miss Qingning. Otherwise, my body…”

“Second Young Madam, don’t say unlucky things. Everything is fine now, everything is good.”

“Good.”

Chu Qingzhi packed her things and went out. She received a lot of thanks. The most substantial thanks were 1,000 taels of silver and a box of 40 kilos of mangoes.

Ads by Pubfuture

The mango was not produced by the Dating Dynasty. It was brought back from another country by the eldest young master during his travels. It was big and fragrant.

“It’s raining!”

“It’s raining, it’s raining!”

Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingning had just returned to the residence when it rained heavily. The rain kept falling, and the air was filled with humidity.

Long Ridge Mountain was entirely enveloped in a curtain of rain. Fortunately, Da Bai found a cave and led them inside for shelter.

Upon entering the cave, they were startled.

There were five or six big gray wolves in the cave. The rain had darkened the daylight, and following Da Bai, they hadn’t thought much about it. It was only after entering the cave that they realized they had walked into a wolf’s den.

Fan Yuru unsheathed her sword, protectively placing Yuan Hongjun behind her, looking every bit the female hero.

Yuan Hongjun didn’t know what to say.

Da Bai growled softly, and the wolves, their dominance waning under the pressure of a stronger being, eventually braved the rain and fled the cave, disappearing into the downpour.

Both of them were stunned.

There was a lot of hay piled up in the cave. Yuan Hongjun made a fire and sat beside it to dry his wet clothes and keep warm. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Fan Yuru sat at the side and looked at the heavy rain outside the cave. She said worriedly, “It’s raining heavily. How are we going to get down the mountain?”

Yuan Hongjun said, “If the rain doesn’t stop, we’ll go down the mountain tomorrow. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous.”

The mountain was too steep. When it rained, they might encounter a landslide. Boulders would roll down, and the road would be slippery, leading to a dangerous fall.

Fan Yuru was only worried for a second before she became excited. She walked around the cave. “I haven’t slept in the wilderness before. Let’s try it today.”

Yuan Hongjun didn’t know what to say.

Why was Fan Yuru’s reaction always different from what he had expected?

Da Bai lay at the cave entrance, catching rain with its tongue. Its face fur was completely wet. Suddenly, it swooped down and bit a big hare.

In the heavy rain, Da Bai quickly returned to the cave with the hare and dropped it in front of Yuan Hongjun.

Yuan Hongjun smiled and patted Da Bai’s head, “Impressive. Come warm up by the fire, dry your fur so you don’t get sick.”

Da Bai lay in front of the fire, intending to dry its face fur first.

Yuan Hongjun lifted the rabbit, drew a dagger from his boot, and went to the entrance to clean it. If all went well, the hare would be their dinner that evening..

Chapter 630: Jinghong Gone Missing

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The hare was very fat. After roasting it, Yuan Hongjun gave the hare’s thigh meat to Fan Yuru.

Fan Yuru hesitantly reached out and took the hare thigh from Yuan Hongjun’s hand. At that moment, she suddenly felt that Yuan Hongjun was a very good person. She stole a glance at him…

Under the flickering orange flames, his clear and handsome face seemed particularly pleasing to the eye.

Yuan Hongjun shared the other half with Da Bai, saying, “You eat too.”

Da Bai gobbled up the hare meat in one bite, which was far from enough for a big tiger. After licking its lips, it went back to warming itself by the fire. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Outside, the rain poured down heavily, but inside the cave, the fire created a cozy and sleep-inducing atmosphere. Da Bai quickly fell asleep, even letting out soft snores.

Fan Yuru looked at Da Bai and said, “I’ll lean against Da Bai to sleep later. He’s warm and soft, so it must be comfortable to sleep against him.”

“That’s a good idea.”

The firelight danced within the cave, casting everything in a warm orange hue.

Fan Yuru looked down at the hare thigh in her hand, hesitated for a moment, then offered one to Yuan Hongjun, “I can’t eat this much. You have one.”

Yuan Hongjun gently pushed her hand away, “Take your time eating. Eat more or you’ll be hungry later.”

Fan Yuru retracted her hand, listening to the crackling sounds of the burning wood, “Hongjun, I heard you started traveling at a very young age. Can you tell me about your experiences?”

“Sure,” Yuan Hongjun organized his thoughts and began to share his adventures. “I started my first journey when I was ten years old. The first place I went to was…”

As Fan Yuru nibbled on the hare thigh and listened to his stories, she felt a sense of contentment and gradually learned more about Yuan Hongjun.

At the Chu Residence.

As evening approached and the rain stopped, a slice of moonlight appeared through the clouds.

Chu Qingzhi opened the fruit box and took out ten kilos of mangoes. She asked Chu Xuhua to send them to Chu Qingyue. She chose the four largest ones for Tang Jinghong and everyone ate the rest.

It was their first time seeing mangoes, and they were excited to try them. The mangoes were very fragrant and sweet, and everyone liked them.

Chu Qingzhi took a mango to the rooftop, sitting on the ridge while eating and quietly thinking about Tang Jinghong.

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao each took a mango and flew up to the rooftop, sitting beside Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Xuyuan said with concern, “Fifth Sister, you look like you have something on your mind. What is it?”

Chu Xuyao was also very concerned. “That’s right, Fifth Sister. Tell us, maybe we can help you.”

Chu Qingzhi looked at Chu Xuyuan and then at Chu Xuyao. She smiled and asked, “What can the two of you help me with?”

Chu Xuyuan thought for a moment and said, “We might not be able to solve your worries, but we can be listeners and share your burden.”

Chu Qingzhi looked up at the sky. “I’m wondering what your brother Jinghong is up to.”

Chu Xuyao said, “Didn’t he tell you?”

Chu Qingzhi shook her head. “No, he said it’s a secret operation.”

“I see.”

At this moment, the golden-feathered phoenix on Chu Qingzhi’s arm flashed, and a scorching heat spread from her arm.

Jinghong is in danger?!

Chu Qingzhi’s heart tightened slightly. “I have something to do. Tell Father and Mother.”

“Okay.”

Chu Qingzhi flew away.

Once she was distant enough, the golden phoenix on her arm flew out, leading the way.

The golden-feathered phoenix on Tang Jinghong’s body was condensed from Chu Qingzhi’s spiritual power. It could resonate with the golden-feathered phoenix on her body. Following the golden-feathered phoenix would allow her to find Tang Jinghong’s location.

On a certain cliff.

Dozens of people were attacking one person in the middle.

The person, dressed in a black robe, fought heroically. Wielding a sword and with his robe billowing, he kept his attackers at bay.

Outside the circle of combat, a middle-aged man watched coldly, “Tang Jinghong, I advise you to surrender, or else…”

A henchman emerged from the nearby jungle, holding an unconscious child.

“If you don’t give up, this child’s life will be in jeopardy!”

The henchman walked toward the cliff edge with the child, ready to throw him over at the man’s command.

“I’ll count to three. If you don’t stop, this child…” The middle-aged man sneered, “One.”

Tang Jinghong’s sword swept through the air, claiming three lives in one strike.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man’s eyes darkened with rage and he ordered, “Throw the child down now!”

Without hesitation, the henchman threw the child off the cliff.

Tang Jinghong kicked away the assassin in front of him and leaped toward the cliff to catch the child. If the child died, he would be haunted by guilt for the rest of his life.

The middle-aged man walked to the cliff edge and looked down, “Retreat!”

Those people threw all the corpses down the cliff and immediately retreated. Soon, there was no one there.

When Chu Qingzhi arrived at the cliff, all she found were traces of the fight and the chilly mountain breeze.

“Jinghong!”

The golden-feathered phoenix flew down the cliff. Chu Qingzhi panicked. No matter how powerful Jinghong was, he was still a mortal. If he fell down the cliff, would he still be alive?

She stood at the edge of the cliff and looked down. The mist was thick below, and it was pitch-black. She could see nothing.

Spreading her arms, she flew down the cliff.

“Jinghong!”

There was no echo, which showed how deep the cliff was. Chu Qingzhi’s heart was heavy, and she did not dare to think further.

Suddenly, a tree growing horizontally from the cliff caught her attention. She flew towards it and found a piece of torn cloth hanging on a broken branch.

She took the cloth and smelled it. It had Jinghong’s scent.

She sped up her descent.

Passing through the mist, a wave of vapor rose.

Chu Qingzhi felt slightly relieved. If there was water, there might be a chance of survival. Following her golden phoenix, she arrived above a river.

The golden-feathered phoenix dove into the water.

Chu Qingzhi followed closely behind.

After entering the water, the phoenix continued to dive deeper.

Chu Qingzhi swam while observing her surroundings. The water grew darker, and the current stronger. Could there be an underground river here?

A bad feeling crept over her.

As Chu Qingzhi suspected, she not only guessed correctly but also saw the entrance to the underground river.

The phoenix flew into the entrance.

Hoping the river wasn’t too long, Chu Qingzhi prayed silently while searching as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, she quickly swam out of the river.

This was a lake, located at the back of a certain village.

Numerous chaotic footprints surrounded the lake. She swam quickly to the shore with footprints and measured them. Some matched Tang Jinghong’s shoe size.

It seemed Jinghong had made it ashore.

“Keep going!”

The phoenix led Chu Qingzhi into the forest, where they found a mine. Outside the mine, a large pile of disordered rocks lay scattered. The phoenix circled the rocks, refusing to continue forward..
