Chapter 661: Terrifying Illness

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Ren Buqing stared at Chu Qingzhi in surprise for a while before nodding. "Then we'll go."

"Go ahead."

Ren Buqing left in a hurry with the officers.

"Fifth Sister, could this be a framing?" Chu Qingning struggled to accept such a cruel act could be perpetrated by a family. "How could our own kin do something so vile?"

Chu Qingzhi responded with calmness, "Whether it is or isn't, we'll know once we investigate."

Chu Qingning fell into a somber silence, her heart secretly hoping the allegations were false.

Chu Qingzhi then said, "Fourth Sister, I need to make a trip to Jinghong's place. You head home first. Let's keep what we discussed just between us for now. No need to alarm our second sister and the others."

With a reluctant nod, Chu Qingning agreed, "Mhm."

The sisters parted ways outside the tea house, one heading to the general's mansion, the other home.

The butler was still following behind Chu Qingzhi. He wanted to stop her, but when he saw Chu Qingzhi's intimidating look, he didn't dare to. He could only trail behind.

Ignoring the tail behind her, Chu Qingzhi made her way into the general's mansion, stopping outside Lu Yichen's room. She knocked, "Lord Zhang's butler asked me to treat Lu Yice. What are your thoughts?"

The door opened and Lu Yichen stepped out, "When did he send someone for you?"

"The butler is still waiting at the main gate."

"Can you cure Lu Yice's illness?" Lu Yichen suddenly realized Chu Qingzhi was asking if he wanted to save Lu Yice, "His illness is so peculiar, do you really have a solution?"

"I do. As long as there's breath, there's hope."

Admiration flickered in Lu Yichen's eyes. After a moment, he awkwardly turned his face away, struggling to find the words, "Then, could I trouble you to save him?"

Chu Qingzhi was taken aback, "I thought you hated your elder brother?"

"I do hate him, but it's all because of Lu Lizhang. It's not my brother's fault. He, in fact, cares for me."

Lu Yichen's gaze fell, "When I was younger, someone would secretly send me clothes, food, and even weapons. I didn't know who it was at first, but later 1 found out it was my elder brother."

"Because he secretly came to see me. The person who trained me had scruples and showed me mercy. Otherwise, I would have been long gone." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Though I lamented my fate, thinking of what my brother did for me, I realized if our positions were reversed, he would be the one suffering now."

He was caught in a complex web of emotions, hating Lu Yice yet unable to bear the thought of him dying.

"So, please save Lu Yice. That way, we'll be even."

"I know what I must do now," Chu Qingzhi thought to herself, understanding the bond between brothers born of the same mother. Even Lu Yichen couldn't bear to see his brother die.

Lu Yichen bowed deeply to Chu Qingzhi, then added, "You can charge Lu Lizhang a hefty sum. He's got plenty."

Chu Qingzhi smiled. "Sure."

As the sun hung half-faced above the mountains, the butler, wracked with anxiety, finally caught sight of Chu Qingzhi emerging. "Miss Qingzhi, can we now attend to the young master?"

"Let's go," Qingzhi replied with an air of nonchalance.

Hearing her consent, the butler almost burst into tears of relief, ushering her with a reverent, "After you, miss."

Inside, the young master, Lu Yice, had cried his voice hoarse. Now, he was barely whispering, struggling to breathe, his life hanging by a thread.

Outside, Lu Lizhang paced back and forth, a caged lion in a fit of rage and anxiety.

A guard hurried over to report, "Your Highness, the butler has returned with Chu Qingzhi."

When Lu Lizhang heard this, he became even angrier. The butler had been gone for most of the day. He thought that the butler had "fled away" to avoid punishment. "Hurry up and bring him over!"

"Yes."

The butler quickly brought Chu Qingzhi to Lu Lizhang. He glanced at Lu Lizhang's murderous expression and said carefully, "Your Lordship, Miss Chu is here."

Lu Lizhang scolded, "What took you so long?"

The butler quickly pleaded for forgiveness, "My apologies, Your Lordship. Miss Qingzhi was simply too occupied..."

Before Lu Lizhang could vent further, Qingzhi cut in, "Enough with the nonsense. If we keep this up, Lu Yice won't survive the night."

If not for Lu Yichen's sake, she thought, let the entire Zhang mansion face its doom.

Lu Lizhang's words were stuck in his throat. He felt terrible as if a pair of smelly socks had been stuffed into his mouth.

The butler hurriedly chimed in, "My lord, saving the prince is more important." What if Chu Qingzhi was unhappy and left?

Ads by Pubfuture

Lu Lizhang glanced at Chu Qingzhi. His eyes were filled with distrust, but he had no other choice now.

He moved to the side and let the door open.

The butler hurriedly went forward and pushed open the door. "Miss Chu, please."

Chu Qingzhi walked into the room and immediately felt uncomfortable.

The windows of the room were all covered with heavy cloth. The entire space was dark and oppressive, as if they were in a sealed space. If they stayed in such a room for a long time, they would fall sick even if they weren't sick.

A low groan of pain came from the bed, reminding Chu Qingzhi that there was someone there.

There was no light in the room and no one could be seen at all. Chu Qingzhi lit the candle and walked towards the bed. When she saw the person on the bed, she thought to herself, Some zombies are in better shape than you.

When Lu Yichu saw the light, he quickly pulled the blanket over his head and trembled as if he had been frightened. "Put it out... put it out..."

"If you want to cure your illness, you have to cooperate with me." Lu Yici was also pitiful. Although he had not suffered any hardships from Lu Yichen, being tortured by illness was worse than Lu Yichen.

Lu Yici slowly lifted the blanket. His eyes, which were especially big because of his thin face, erupted with a light that had never been seen before. He stared at Chu Qingzhi. "Y-You can cure my illness?"

As he spoke, his eyes never left Chu Qingzhi, as if she was the ray of hope.

"Sure," Chu Qingzhi said. "Now, I need to take your pulse."

Lu Yici stretched out his arm impatiently. His eyes were still fixed on Chu Qingzhi without blinking.

With a single pulse reading, Chu Qingzhi knew the cause of the illness. At this moment, even if Lu Yici was the son of a bad person, she could not help but sympathize with him.

Lu Yicai had been poisoned by the blood Gu. Those blood Gu had been reproducing in his body for several years. All the organs, flesh, and blood in his body had become the nest of the blood Gu. Today, when it was time for him to drink blood, he did not drink it. All the blood Gu were eating his body...

Chu Qingzhi fed Lu Yici a pill to protect his heart. If he was not treated and did not drink blood, Lu Yici would not live for more than three days.

Lu Yici fell into a deep sleep after taking the pill.

Chu Qingzhi walked out of the room. "I need a pen and paper."

The butler hurriedly said, "Miss, this way please."

Chu Qingzhi wrote the herbs she needed on a piece of paper and asked the butler to prepare them..

Chapter 662: Astronomical Consultation Fee

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Qingzhi, stepping out of the study, approached Lu Lizhang, who was still simmering with residual anger. She cut to the chase, "To save the young master, you need to prepare five million taels of silver within a day."

Lu Lizhang was momentarily stunned, doubting his ears, "What did you just say?"

Chu Qingzhi repeated calmly, "The fee to treat the young master is five million taels. If you are not interested in saving him, then pretend I didn't say anything."

Lu Lizhang stared at Chu Qingzhi. The anger that he had managed to extinguish with great difficulty started to burn fiercely. "Chu Qingzhi, you're taking advantage of the situation!"

"Am I taking advantage of the situation?" Chu Qingzhi smiled. "Or can't you take out so much money? Or do you not want to save your son at all?"

The expression on Lu Lizhang's face soured, but as a lord, he quickly managed to regain his composure, "Are you certain you can cure Yice?"

"Absolutely, why else would i name such a price? However, 1 must remind you, your son has less than three days without treatment. You don't have much time to deliberate."

No wonder you dared to demand an exorbitant price! Lu Lizhang was furious, but he could not flare up. Be it on the surface or in the dark, Chu Qingzhi was not easy to deal with!

"As long as you save my son, I will definitely give you all the five million taels of silver."

"I want to see silver at this time tomorrow."

Lu Lizhang gritted his teeth. "Sure."

Chu Qingzhi smiled happily. "Get the butler to prepare the herbs as soon as possible. The more we delay, the greater the suffering."

Lu Lizhang really wanted to save his son. Since Chu Qingzhi had made a condition and promised to save Lu Yici, he immediately instructed his subordinates to prepare.

Wealth was abundant for him, but his son was irreplaceable.

Chu Qingzhi summoned Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang, seeing this rare case as an excellent educational moment for her disciples.

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang quickly rushed over. "Master."

"Follow me." Chu Qingzhi brought the two of them into Lu Yici's room.

Yuan Hongjun said in embarrassment, "Master, we've all come to see Lu Yici, but we can't treat his illness."

Chu Qingzhi defended her two little disciples' pride and said, "He's not sick. Naturally, you guys can't treat him."

Yuan Hongjun hurriedly asked, "What is that?"

Chu Qingzhi said, "He was poisoned by a blood Gu."

"Blood Gu?" Yuan Hongjun was stunned, "Southern border's blood Gu?"

Bao Linjiang frowned. "Aren't Gu worms only available in the southern border? Moreover, 1 heard that only witch doctors know how to remove Gu."

Yuan Hongjun said with a bit of blind admiration, "Our master is an all-rounder. Naturally, he also knows the medical skills of witch doctors."

"I don't mean to doubt Master." Bao Linjiang glanced at Yuan Hongjun. "On the other hand, aren't you known as the Little Divine Doctor? Don't you know how to remove Gu?"

Yuan Hongjun said, "In the past, when I was traveling, a witch doctor thought highly of me and said that she wanted to teach me her medical skills. However, I had to marry into her family. How could I marry into her family?"

Bao Linjiang said, "Can't you find another witch doctor?"

Yuan Hongjun looked at him with disdain. "Oh, naive Little Abalone, witchery is generally passed down to females, not males, unless one marries into their family. Would you be willing?"

Bao Linjiang put on a serious expression. "For the sake of acquiring medical knowledge, I'd be willing to make that sacrifice."

Yuan Hongjun scoffed, "Then be my guest next time."

Disregarding Yuan Hongjun, Bao Linjiang turned to Chu Qingzhi, "Master, did you summon us to teach us new medical knowledge?"

"I haven't studied witch medicine myself. However, if you're keen on learning, I might visit the southern border, pick up the knowledge, and teach you later. For now, assist me in treating Lu Yice's curse and start by familiarizing yourselves with it."

"Yes."

Yuan Hongjun moved closer as well.

"For now, we can't proceed with the curse removal as the medicinal ingredients aren't ready. Begin by examining his pulse and symptoms, and I'll provide further explanations shortly."

"Yes, Master."

In the General's Mansion.

Wu Yaqing entered the room and immediately noticed the tall figure standing by the window. The setting sun cast upon him did not bring warmth but rather a chill, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Lu Yichen turned around, "Why are you here?"

"I came to see you." Wu Yaqing placed a food box on the table, "Come and eat?"

Lu Yichen's gaze shifted to the four-tiered exquisite food box, "I don't feel like eating. You should take the food to Qingzhi."

Wu Yaqing quickly asked, "I've been looking for Qingzhi, where is she?"

"She's at Lord Zhang's place."

Ads by Pubfuture

"What?" Wu Yaqing's voice rose in alarm, "Lu Lizhang is secretly after Brother Tang and Qingzhi. Isn't she walking into a trap by going there?"

"Don't worry, Qingzhi was invited to treat Lu Yice."

"Lu Lizhang's bias knows no bounds. It'd be better if Lu Yice died. Why treat him!" Wu Yaqing realized, "Was Qingzhi coerced? No, 1 must rescue her!"

As she spoke, she headed out to gather the Golden Guards and set off to rescue Qingzhi.

Seeing Wu Yaqing's impulsive nature, Lu Yichen quickly stopped her, "Qingzhi asked me before she went. I agreed to it."

Wu Yaqing was puzzled, "Lu Lizhang uses you for Lu Yice's sake, why would you help him?"

Lu Yichen fell silent for a moment, "Lu Yice once saved me." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"What?" Wu Yaqing was surprised, "He saved you? When did he save you?"

"When I was under ten." Lu Yichen was reluctant to revisit the past, but he earnestly responded to Wu Yaqing's inquiry.

"He knew about you that early?"

Lu Yichen nodded, "My mother never hid me, so he's known of my existence since he could remember."

"Your mother was a good mother; it's just the father who's beyond redemption." Wu Yaqing couldn't help but think of her own father, who would sacrifice her for his interests. She could sympathize with Lu Yichen.

Lu Yichen changed the subject, "Let's not talk about him. Go and bring the food to Qingzhi."

"Alright, I'm on my way." Wu Yaqing patted the food box, "Everything in here is what you love to eat. Qingzhi doesn't like these. I'll order some of her favorites from the restaurant."

At that moment, Lu Yichen felt as if Wu Yaqing was like a little sun, warming him thoroughly.

Lord Zhang did not mistreat Chu Qingzhi. Instead, they served her sumptuous meals as if she were the most honored guest.

Just as they were sitting down, Wu Yaqing arrived, bringing along two large boxes of food.

She whispered to Chu Qingzhi, "Don't eat the food here. They've been wanting to kill you; what if the food is poisoned?"

Chu Qingzhi took the food box, placing the dishes on the table, "The food is not poisoned, but since you've brought some, we ll eat what you brought. Have you eaten yet? Join us."

Wu Yaqing shook her head, "1 haven't eaten yet.."

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Yuan Hongjun fetched a set of bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen, remarking, "Had you arrived any later, we would have already finished eating."

Wu Yaqing chuckled, "I'm always lucky like that. See, I made it just in time for the start of the meal."

Chu Qingzhi asked Wu Yaqing, "What made you think to bring us food?"

Wu Yaqing candidly replied, "Lu Yichen asked me to do it."

Bao Linjiang commented, "It seems he doesn't hate Lu Yice that much."

Yuan Hongjun added, "After all, he is his biological brother. Third Master Lu still values the bond of brotherhood."

Chu Qingzhi interrupted the conversation, "Let's eat first, then discuss."

"Go ahead."

After the meal, Wu Yaqing curiously inquired, "What illness does Lu Yice have?"

Yuan Hongjun answered, "He's been hexed with blood Gu."

"Gu?" Wu Yaqing was slightly afraid, "I've heard that those cursed with Gu can only survive if the Gu worm is removed from their body; otherwise, it uses the person as a vessel, draining their body until nothing is left."

Bao Linjiang looked at her, "You seem to know a lot about it." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wu Yaqing modestly said, "I know a little."

A knock on the door came, and the butler announced, "Miss, the medicinal ingredients are ready."

Lord Zhang truly spared no expense, gathering even the most rare and difficult-to-find medicinal herbs in such a short time. Chu Qingzhi had Yuan Hongjun check the herbs while she prepared the medical tools needed for the treatment.

Bao Linjiang assisted Chu Qingzhi, eager to learn.

While preparing, Chu Qingzhi explained, "The blood Gu thrives on fresh blood, which allows it to survive, grow, and reproduce. However, it prefers the host's blood. Lu Yichen and Lu Yice share a close bloodline, which is why Lu Yichen's blood can better soothe Lu Yice, unlike that of others."

Yuan Hongjun brought the herbs to the makeshift table, "Master, the herbs are correct."

"Then let's begin." Chu Qingzhi, with her disciples, started to prepare the lure for the Gu and the remedy to expel it. "Lu Yice's body is severely damaged, with thousands of Gu worms inside. His body cannot withstand the internal fight against the Gu. The only way now is to lure the Gu out..."

"Normally, Gu worms are reluctant to leave their original host unless they find abetter one..."

The mysteries of Southern Border witch medicine and Gu worms are little known to outsiders. Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang listened in awe to Chu Qingzhi's broad knowledge.

An hour later, Chu Qingzhi finished explaining, and the lure and the remedy were ready.

Wu Yaqing leaned in, "This lure looks and smells just like fresh blood!"

"It does," Chu Qingzhi confirmed. "Now, let's test its effectiveness."

Under Chu Qingzhi's guidance, Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang helped Lu Yice sit up, his arms dangling over the chair's armrests.

The lure was divided into two narrow-necked glazed bottles, each about half a foot tall, taken from Lu Lizhang's collection after Chu Qingzhi insisted on having them.

Chu Qingzhi had requested two clear bottles, not expecting much, but the butler revealed that Lu Lizhang had two clear glazed bottles.

Lu Lizhang was reluctant to give them up, but ultimately, he did.

Chu Qingzhi made a small cut on Lu Yice's index finger and inserted it into a clear glazed bottle, "Watch closely, you'll see the Gu worms crawling out..."

Ads by Pubfuture

Wu Yaqing squatted down, focusing on the bottle, "How can we see the tiny Gu worms with the blood flowing?"

"Lu Yice has hardly any blood left in his body. With such a small wound, there won't be much bleeding," Chu Qingzhi explained as she also cut another finger of Lu Yice and placed it in another bottle.

"I see."

"Hongjun, Linjiang, give Lu Yice the prepared expelling remedy to drink, and try not to spill it." After drinking the remedy, Lu Yice's body would produce substances that blood Gu despise, speeding up their departure from his body.

"Okay."

All four of them watched the glazed bottles intently...

Before long, Wu Yaqing suddenly pointed at the bottle, "There it is, it's coming out..."

A dark red Gu worm emerged from the wound, tiny as a mustard seed. After making its way out, it crawled around briefly before jumping into the lure.

The lure not only attracted the Gu but also had the effect of killing them. Once the Gu worm jumped into it, it struggled for a moment like it was drowning, then soon sank to the bottom of the bottle, dead.

Then another worm emerged, followed by another...

Gu worms continuously crawled out of both hands.

Chu Qingzhi cautioned, "Yaqing, don't get too close. If a Gu worm touches human skin, it will burrow in, and it will be very painful."

Wu Yaqing quickly stepped back, "I wonder who came up with such a harmful thing!"

"Who created it, I don't know," Yuan Hongjun quipped. "I only know that everything from the Southern Border is like this, filled with malice."

Chu Qingzhi smiled, "Not everything. I've heard the girls from the Southern Border are quite beautiful."

Ads by Pubfuture

Yuan Hongjun resigned, "Master..."

"Alright, alright, let's focus on the bottles. If we run out of the lure, remember to add more."

"Understood, Master."

After a while, Bao Linjiang asked, "Master, when will all the Gu worms be cleared?"

"Given the current pace, it should take about a day."

"That long?"

"There are too many Gu worms in his body; it can't be helped."

"I see." Bao Linjiang said no more, focusing intently on the bottles.

Time passed slowly. Suddenly, Lu Yice's breathing became rapid, his eyes widened, and his face turned red as if he was suffocating for a while and then suddenly able to breathe again.

Chu Qingzhi, sensing trouble, quickly pressed her fingers to Lu Yice's pulse, channeling some spiritual energy into his body. Gradually, Lu Yice calmed down.

Wu Yaqing was somewhat frightened, "Qingzhi, what happened just now?"

Chu Qingzhi explained, "The sudden departure of the Gu worms from his body caused some parts of his body to not adapt, leading to discomfort."

Bao Linjiang checked Lu Yice's pulse, finding it still weak but stable, "Thankfully we have Master; otherwise, he might have died just now."

Chu Qingzhi instructed, "Linjiang, bring in Lu Yice's food and feed him. He needs to replenish his strength."

"Okay."

The butler had the maids waiting outside the room with food early on, and Lu Lizhang was also waiting in the courtyard. Seeing the door open, he looked over immediately, "What happened?"

Bao Linjiang responded, "Nothing serious. Where's the food my master asked you to prepare?"

The butler quickly handed the tray from the maid to Bao Linjiang, "Here it is, Doctor Bao."

In the capital, everyone referred to Bao Linjiang as Doctor Bao.

Bao Linjiang returned to the room and closed the door, cutting off all outside views.

Suddenly, the window opened, and Lu Yichen, dressed in black, blending with the night, leaped into the room.

Chapter 664'- Full of Hatred

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Wu Yaqing looked up at Lu Yichen, noticing his concern for Lu Yice, and quickly said, "By tomorrow, the blood Gu in your brother's body can be completely cleared."

"I'll feed him," Lu Yichen nodded, taking the bowl and spoon from Bao

Linjiang's hands.

Perhaps due to the telepathic connection between twins, Lu Yice woke up, visibly delighted to see Lu Yichen, weakly calling out, "Brother..."

A softness touched Lu Yichen's heart, his resentment momentarily set aside,

"Don't talk, eat."

Lu Yice smiled and nodded, "Okay."

For the first time in over two decades, the brothers shared a peaceful moment together in the same room.

Dawn turned to dusk, and the night passed in a blink.

At the Ning Residence.

Ning Yuting stood by the window, his face cold and silent since his second and third uncles were taken away the day before, burdened with heavy thoughts, causing concern.

Chu Qingyue approached Ning Yuting from behind, gently calling out,

"Yuting..."

Ning Yuting turned and embraced Chu Qingyue, "I'm fine."

He couldn't accept that his uncles had conspired to kill his parents, especially when his mother was pregnant. The pain was indescribable.

Chu Qingyue felt deeply for him, "After this is over, let's go pay respects to your parents, okay?"

Ning Yuting softly agreed.

Suddenly, rapid footsteps disrupted the room's tranquility. Chunh reported, "Young Master, Young Madam, Old Master has fainted.

Ning Yuting's expression darkened further, and he quickly led Chu Qingyue out.

In the room, Grandfather Ning lay on the bed, eyes closed, his hair turned white overnight.

Ning Yuting rushed in, kneeling by the bed, "Grandfather, I'm sorry...

Grandfather Ning opened his eyes, gently stroking Ning Yuting's head, "It's not your fault. I didn't raise them right, leading them to become ruthless, disregarding familial ties."

Tears welled up in Ning Yuting's eyes, "Grandfather..."

Grandfather Ning looked upwards, his gaze filled with unspeakable sadness,

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Chu Qingyue, witnessing this scene, left the room and told Chunh, "I'm going to find my sister to check on grandfather. If Yuting asks, let him know."

"Yes, Young Madam."

Chu Qingyue hurried off.

Lord Zhang's Estate.

Chu Qingzhi and the others stayed in Lu Yice's room overnight, progressing into the latter stages of the Gu removal process.

The butler arranged a lavish breakfast, "Miss Qingzhi, the two young doctors,

Miss Yaqing, please have breakfast."

Wu Yaqing opened the door, "Bring the breakfast in.

"Yes." With a gesture from the butler, maids flowed into the room like water, setting down the breakfast and quickly leaving without delay.

With breakfast served, Wu Yaqing promptly closed the door, "Finally, we can have breakfast."

Lu Yichen showed concern, "You've been up all night too. Have breakfast and then go get some rest."

Ads by Pubfuture

Wu Yaqing waved her hand and refused. "I'll go back with Qingzhi.

Chu Qingzhi mentioned, "It won't be finished here until the afternoon. I can't leave until then."

Wu Yaqing did not care. "It's fine. Half a day will pass quickly. There's no one in the residence now. It's boring to go back. Why not stay with everyone?"

No one tried to persuade Wu Yaqing further; indeed, being alone could be quite boring.

The butler came to report, "Miss Qingzhi, the Young Madam of the Ning family has come to see you."

Why has my second sister come? Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Chu Qingzhi quickly gave some instructions to Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang, then headed out, "Where is my second sister now?"

"Please follow me, miss."

Chu Qingyue was pacing anxiously in the reception room. After a few rounds, she finally saw her sister, "Fifth sister."

Chu Qingzhi asked worriedly, "Second sister, why have you come?" Speaking rapidly, Chu Qingyue said, "Grandfather fell ill upon hearing that the second uncle and third uncle were arrested. Fifth sister, can you spare some time to see grandfather?"

"Just wait for me a moment."

"Ok."

Chu Qingzhi returned to Lu Yice's room, writing down detailed instructions for what needed to be done next, "Yuan Hongjun, Linjiang, if I don't return, proceed according to what1 s written on this paper.

"Understood, Master."

Chu Qingzhi went to the reception room to meet up with Chu Qingyue and returned to the Ning residence together.

At the Ning Residence.

Chu Qingzhi checked Grandfather Ning's pulse, "He's overly heartbroken, his spirit is damaged, but there's nothing else wrong. I'll prescribe a calming and heart-nourishing formula. Take it and rest well without worrying too much, and you'll gradually recover."

Chu Qingyue said, "Yuting, you take care of your grandfather. I'll go get the medicine."

Ads by Pubfuture

Ning Yuting nodded, "Okay."

Chu Qingzhi wrote down the prescription, and together with Chu Qingyue, they went to the pharmacy to get the medicine. Then Chu Qingyue returned home to prepare it, while Chu Qingzhi went to the General's Mansion.

Tang Jinghong was surprised to see Chu Qingzhi suddenly appear, "Qingzhi, what brings you here?"

Chu Qingzhi said, "I've come to take that coachman to the Ministry of Justice. The case involving the Ning family needs to be resolved.

Tang Jinghong replied, "I'll go with you to the Ministry of Justice. I have some matters to discuss with Ren Buqing as well."

"Okay."

Ministry of Justice.

Ren Buqing personally came to greet them at the entrance, "Miss Chu, General

Tang."

As they walked and talked, Chu Qingzhi asked, "What's the result of the interrogation?"

Ren Buqing expressed difficulty, "Neither has confessed, and it's problematic to use torture. We're at a stalemate."

"I'll join the interrogation."

"Thank you, Miss Chu."

In the prison.

Second Master Ning and Third Master Ning were locked together. The two of them, who used to be prominent, had changed into dirty prison clothes and were leaning against the wall. Their heads were lowered, and it was unknown what they were thinking.

The jailer opened the cell door and led Second Master Ning out for interrogation.

Chu Qingzhi didn't want to waste time, so she secretly used the Truth Spell. "Second Master Ning, tell me about how you colluded with Third Master Ning to murder First Master Ning."

This unconventional interrogation method caught Ren Buqing off guard. Could such questioning elicit an answer?

After a moment of internal struggle, Second Master Ning angrily confessed, "Yes, it was both of us against our elder brother. But it's not our fault; blame my father!"

Chu Qingzhi was speechless, "You commit wrongs and yet blame others. Aren't you ashamed?"

Second Master Ning showed no remorse, instead feeling justified, "What do I have to be ashamed of? My father blatantly favored our elder brother, teaching him by his side while neglecting us, never taking us seriously from the day we

were born."

"Could you be misunderstanding something?" Chu Qingzhi questioned, "Your father built mansions of the same size for all three brothers, and since childhood, your expenses have been nearly equal, indicating no favoritism. As for taking your elder brother under his wing, that's normal since he is the heir to the Ning family. How could he manage the family business without talent and knowledge?"

In this era, it was customary for the eldest legitimate son to inherit the family business, and there was nothing to debate about that.

Second Master Ning was angry and aggrieved. "All those gestures were just for show, worth almost nothing. As for inheriting the family business, we never intended to compete with our elder brother for it. What pains us is our father's neglect. It seems no matter what, he always thought of our elder brother first. Were my third brother and I just decorations?

If what Second Master Ning said was true, it would indeed make people jealous, and jealousy was a very scary thing. "Grandpa Ning fell ill because he was worried about you two brothers."

"He wasn't worried about us; he was distressed because we killed our elder brother." Second Master Ning spoke with a sense of vengeful satisfaction, "We wanted him to feel the pain of loss!"

Ren Buqing couldn't help but interject, "Your father may have been biased, but your elder brother did nothing wrong to you. How could you bring yourselves to harm him?"

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself that once the heart hardens, a son killing his father is possible, let alone brother against brother. She had seen too many such killings to find anything strange about it.

Second Master Ning said hatefully, "Without him, our father would surely have noticed me and my third brother. As long as our father would glance our way, what does it matter if the elder brother was killed?"

His heart was twisted by jealousy.

Chu Qingzhi had the coachman brought over, "The carriage Ning Yuting was riding in was also tampered with by you, correct? You bribed the coachman to deliberately cause an accident and have it fall off the cliff?

Second Master Ning admitted straightforwardly, "After Ning Yuting was born, the old master treasured him like a precious gem, while he never spared a second glance at me and my third brother's children. They deserved to die, all of them." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Suddenly stopping his mad laughter, he glared at Chu Qingzhi, "But why did you save him? Just when our father had started to notice me and my third brother, Ning Yuting's return made everything crumble. He became even more fond of Ning Yuting..."

The man was beyond redemption. Chu Qingzhi ordered, "Take him away and bring up Third Master Ning."

"Yes." The jailer quickly brought Third Master Ning forward.

Chu Qingzhi posed the same question to him, and he admitted to the crime as well, though he was calmer than Second Master Ning.

After interrogating both, guards from the Ministry of Justice informed that

Ning Yuting had arrived.

Chu Qingzhi and Ren Buqing met him at the entrance of the Ministry.

Ning Yuting spoke first, "Lord Ren, have my uncles confessed?"

"They have," Ren Buqing confirmed truthfully. "Just now, they admitted to hiring someone to commit murder. The evidence is conclusive; they cannot escape their fate."

Ning Yuting struggled to say, "I don't want them to die." If they died, his grandfather would lose three sons, which he couldn't bear. Having already lost his parents, he didn't want to lose his grandfather too.

Ren Buqing was puzzled, "Why?"

"My grandfather won't be able to bear it." Ning Yuting's fists were clenched white, "Is there a possibility for a lighter sentence?"

Ren Buqing looked at Ning Yuting sympathetically, "According to the laws of the Daling Dynasty, the lightest sentence would be exile for three thousand miles."

Ning Yuting pleaded, "Then please let it be so."

Ren Buqing glanced at Chu Qingzhi, who showed understanding for Ning Yuting's situation and remained silent. After all, it was a family matter. Ren Buqing said, "I will try my best."

"Thankyou, Lord Ren." Ning Yuting also bowed to Chu Qingzhi, "Fifth sister, thank you."

Seeing Ning Yuting's somber expression, Chu Qingzhi offered some consolation, "What's important is the living and the future. Try to reconcile with the past and things beyond your control. Don't be too hard on yourself."

Ning Yuting nodded, "I know. Give me some time; I'll get better."

"Go back. My second sister must be worried about you."

"Farewell."

Tang Jinghong left the Ministry of Justice, his gaze sweeping over Ning Yuting's departing figure and settling on Chu Qingzhi and Ren Buqing, "The Ning family's case is almost concluded, isn't it?"

Ren Buqing responded, "Only the formal court session remains, but it's merely

a formality now."

He thought to himself that with Chu Qingzhi's assistance, the case had been smoothly solved. He almost wished he could keep Chu Qingzhi at the Ministry of Justice.

Chu Qingzhi mentioned, "I have other matters to attend to, so I must leave now."

Tang Jinghong, concerned for Chu Qingzhi's well-being, suggested, "It's noon, why not have lunch before you go?"

"That works, let's go." It had been many days since she and Tang Jinghong had dined together. With her two disciples looking after Lu Yice, Chu Qingzhi agreed without worry.

Tang Jinghong invited Ren Buqing, "Would you like to join us?" "No, thanks. You two go ahead." Ren Buqing declined without a second thought, reasoning it was a meal for the engaged couple, and his presence would only be intrusive.

Tainan restaurant.

The two chose a private room and sat opposite each other.

As they were about to order, the waiter mentioned, "We've recently acquired a new type of drink, very fresh and uniquely named beer, which is quite suitable for ladies. Would you like to try a bottle?"

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong exchanged a look, surprised that beer had made its way to Tainan Restaurant.

Chu Qingzhi nodded, "Bring us a bottle."

"Right away," the waiter said, swiftly heading downstairs to fetch their order. Soon, the waiter returned, pouring the beer with attentive service, "Please enjoy."

After tasting the beer, Chu Qingzhi recognized it as their own, "This is good. When did the restaurant start selling this?"

The waiter thought for a moment, "It's been four or five days. This beer sells well, but the proprietor can only get so many bottles, limiting sales to fifty bottles a day. Once sold out, customers need to reserve for the next day." It seemed that the beer was selling well. Chu Qingzhi tipped the waiter and said, "This drink is not bad. Thank you for recommending it to us."

The waiter happily took the money. "Please enjoy your meal. I'll go check on your dishes."

"Go on."

The beer's popularity and high price reflected the capital's unique market dynamics, where expensive items often attracted more buyers.

Tang Jinghong smiled, "How does it feel to encounter our own product while diningout?"

"Very good. It feels like all the hard work has paid off."

"Let's toast to that."

"Okay."

Lord Zhang's Estate.

Lu Yichen looked in the direction of the door several times, his expression clearly worried.

"What are you looking at?" Wu Yaqing couldn't help but ask.

"Why isn't Qingzhi back yet?" Lu Yichen looked at the glass bottle. LuYici's hand looked even paler under the reflection of the glass bottle. It was bloodless and heart-wrenching.

Wu Yaqing sized up Lu Yichen. This was completely unlike the usually cold and heartless Third Master Lu. "Are you worried about Lu Yici?"

"Don't talk nonsense; I'm worried about Qingzhi." Realizing his concern, Lu Yichen pondered whether he was actually worried about Lu Yice.

Wu Yaqing bluntly exposed him, "You're not even good at lying. Qingzhi is invincible; she doesn't need your worry. Besides, it's not like it's your place to worry about her!"

Lu Yichen, with a sigh of exasperation, turned to Wu Yaqing and asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to grab something to eat?"

The sudden shift in conversation left Wu Yaqing momentarily baffled. "What do you mean by that?"

Bao Linjiang turned his head, cutting straight to the chase, "He means for you to keep it down. You're being too loud."

Wu Yaqing's mood soured instantly. "I'm just worried about you, and this is how you treat me?" She huffed, marching off to sit as far away from Lu Yichen as possible, arms crossed, stewing in silence.

Lu Yichen rubbed his temples at the sight of Wu Yaqing's pouting figure, a headache brewing.

Bao Linjiang spread his hands, as if to say, "Don't look at me; I'm just the messenger."

When Chu Qingzhi returned, the room was clearly divided. "What happened here?"

Wu Yaqing piped up first, "Nothing much. Qingzhi, come check Lu Yice's fingers. The worms haven't been coming out for a while now."

Chu Qingzhi peered towards the glass bottle, "Did any of you notice two worms significantly larger than the others?"

Yuan Hongjun asked, "Master, are you referring to the two worms that entered Lu Yice's body first?"

"Yes," Chu Qingzhi confirmed. "Only when those two are out can we consider Lu Yice's body completely clear of the worms. Otherwise, they might regenerate."

Wu Yaqing frowned, "We didn't see them."

Chu Qingzhi observed for a while and checked Lu Yicai's pulse. She took the opportunity to check the location of the two Gu worms. They were actually still at Lu Yicai's heart and had basically not moved.

"Hongjun, Linjiang, I need a hollow needle and some Gu worm repellent."

Yuanan Hongjun immediately fetched the needle from the medicine box, while Bao Linjiang went for the repellent.

Chu Qingzhi took the needle, dipped it in the repellent, and targeted the worms' location to inject the solution...

She could actually use a simpler method to kill the two Gu worms, but that wouldn't teach her disciples anything. This way, they'd know how to handle such situations in the future.

Under the effect of the repellent, the two worms crawled out from where the needle had pierced.

Chu Qingzhi poured some lure on them, and soon, the last two worms were dead.

The Gu worm removal was complete.

"Hongjun, bring the medicine for Lu Yice to take."

"Okay."

After taking the medicine, Lu Yichen carried Lu Yice to bed, feeling the light weight in his arms and a pang of sourness in his heart. He whispered, "Sleep well. You won't suffer anymore."

Lu Yice, with his deeply sunken eyes, looked at Lu Yichen, "Brother, thank you."

He had heard the conversation earlier and knew that without Lu Yichen, Chu Qingzhi wouldn't have come to remove the Gu worms.

Lu Yichen's usually cold expression softened a bit, "Rest well. Qingzhi said with a month or two of recovery, you'll be back to normal."

"Ok."

Chu Qingzhi stepped out the door and addressed the butler, "Has your lord prepared the silver as agreed?"

The butler, who had been standing by the door, eagerly replied, "It's all prepared. However, the lord mentioned he would only hand it over once he's assured the young master is well."

Yuan Hongjun joined in, "Your young master is fine now. If you have doubts, feel free to have another physician examine him."

Overjoyed, the butler hurried off to inform the lord.

A moment later, not only the Lord, but even the Princess Consort came. Everyone in the mansion was shocked.

The Princess Consort walked over quickly and grabbed Chu Qingzhi's hand excitedly. "Miss, is Yice truly alright now?"

Chu Qingzhi reassured her, "The young master will be able to live like a normal person after two months of rest."

Princess Consort burst into tears of joy. "Thank you, Miss, thank you so much."

"There's no need to worry anymore. All is well," Chu Qingzhi comforted her.

Gratefully nodding through her tears, the Princess Consort expressed, "Qingzhi, we owe you so much. Yice won't have to suffer anymore." The pain of seeing her son in agony had deeply affected her as a mother.

"All is well now..."

After some time, the Princess Consort, drying her tears, instructed the butler, "What are you waiting for? Bring out the silver. Also, take an additional one million silver notes from my personal treasury for Miss Chu."

She knew that Chu Qingzhi asked Lu Lizhang for five million taels of silver. She thought that Chu Qingzhi liked money, so she also gave Chu Qingzhi money.

Chu Qingzhi didn't know what to say.

After receiving the money, Chu Qingzhi wrote down the follow-up prescription and handed it to the Princess Consort, then left with her disciples.

On the way, Chu Qingzhi said to her two disciples, "Take the one million that the Princess Consort gave me."

Both of them refused. "Master, we don't take it. You cured Lu Yici. How can we take the money?"

"You refuse because it's too little?"

The two disciples shook their heads in shock. "No, no, Master. We just feel undeserving."

Chu Qingzhi said, "If I give it to you, just take it. We're master and disciple. Together, we'll see even more prosperity."

Such bold generosity from their master was unheard of. Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang, smiling, accepted, "Yes, Master."

News of Chu Qingzhi curing Lu Yice for a fee of five million taels quickly spread throughout the capital, making her the subject of much discussion, envy, and admiration.

In modern terms, Chu Qingzhi was on the trending searches again, and she was the most searched lady so far.

At the Chu Residence.

Chu Qingzhi gathered all the maids and servants that Ning Yuting had sent over to take care of them in the front courtyard.

"It's been hard on you guys during this period of time. I've prepared some silver rewards here. Each of you can take some. I'm leaving in two days." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The butler urged the others, "Hurry up and thank Fifth Miss. Why are you standing there like a block?"

Together, they expressed their gratitude, "Thankyou, Fifth Miss."

"In the future, my second sister will be alone in the capital. I'll have to trouble everyone to take care of her."

"Fifth Miss, don't worry. We will."

"Thankyou."

"Go ahead, take your silver."

Happy to receive their rewards, everyone thanked her again before departing.

Chu Qingzhi then headed to the kitchen, handing Nanny Han a silver note worth a hundred taels, "Nanny, everyone has received some silver. Please don't refuse."

Having been a great help in cooking, laundry, managing medicinal herbs, housekeeping, and more, Nanny Han deserved Chu Qingzhi's gratitude.

Seeing Chu Qingzhi's sincerity, Nanny Han accepted the silver note, "Next time you're in the capital, leave everything to me."

"Deal," Chu Qingzhi smiled, then added, "Nanny, I have something to ask you."

"Go ahead."

"Do you know any trustworthy people? I'm looking for some reliable helpers for my second sister. She's alone in the Ning residence. Although her husband is protective, lacking confidants in such a large household could be troublesome if something happens and her husband isn't around."

Chapter 667: Too Hard to Please

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Nanny Han pondered for a moment before Chu Qingzhi added, "I don't want young maids; I prefer someone of your age."

Young maids might develop inappropriate feelings, especially around Ning Yuting, a man of talent and wealth, potentially inviting trouble.

Nanny Han chuckled, understanding what Chu Qingzhi meant, "I can't make any promises on the candidates, but there's a group of palace maids being released soon. You could take a look at them."

"Thankyou, Nanny."

Nanny Han waved off the thanks, "No need for formalities with me."

"I'll go out and gather some information."

"Okay."

As Chu Qingzhi turned to leave, a savory aroma of braised meat wafted into her nose. She looked around and spotted a package on the chopping board. "Nanny, what's this?"

"This is braised meat I bought," Nanny Han explained as she opened the package. "I tried it before buying. It's really tasty."

Upon closer inspection and after tasting a piece, Chu Qingzhi recognized it as the braised meat made by the people from the orphanage. "Nanny, is the braised meat stall doing well?"

Nanny Han nodded, "Yes, there's always a line. I had to wait quite a while to get it. It would have been sold out if I'd been any later."

Knowing the orphanage was thriving brought relief to Chu Qingzhi. "If you like it, feel free to buy it often."

"Ok."

In the General's Mansion.

Tang Jinghong handed over a list of palace servants about to be released to Chu Qingzhi. "I've gathered all the information for you. Take a look, and we can recruit whoever you like."

Chu Qingzhi appreciated Tang Jinghong's effort and took the list.

The list contained twenty-five names: five eunuchs, five nannies, and fifteen palace maids due to be released due to their age.

Chu Qingzhi focused on the nannies, noting their experiences in the palace, including their backgrounds, personalities, and how they conducted themselves.

After careful consideration, she chose two nannies named Song Qingfen and Zhao Siqin.

Both had served the Empress Dowager, were in their forties, and sought to leave the palace following the Empress Dowager's death, having no children or other attachments. Their smooth personalities and protective nature made them excellent candidates.

Chu Qingzhi informed Tang Jinghong of her choices. "Jinghong, I've decided on these two."

Tang Jinghong agreed with her selection, "I'll send someone to inform the Empress. We can have these two nannies leave the palace now and come directly to you."

"I think it would be better if I went with my second sister to meet them. They served the Empress Dowager, so we should show some respect. It will also ensure they are more dedicated to taking care of my second sister."

Having such top-tier caregivers would completely alleviate any concerns for her second sister's well-being.

"That's a good idea, but I'll still send someone ahead to inform them, to avoid any awkwardness for you."

"Okay."

The Empress, upon learning of Chu Qingzhi's request, immediately spoke to the two nannies about the matter and praised Chu Qingzhi highly.

They had also heard of Chu Qingzhi's name in the palace. They were already very impressed, and hearing the empress's high evaluation, they were very tempted. After weighing the pros and cons, they agreed readily.

Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingyue personally went to the palace gate to welcome them and took them to Tainan Restaurant for a splendid welcoming feast. The warmth and respect shown by Chu Qingzhi warmed the nannies' hearts, and they were already favorably disposed towards Chu Qingyue.

After the meal, Chu Qingzhi escorted them to the Ning family's gate. "Nannies, I entrust my sister to your care."

Nanny Song was a straightforward person. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, we'll take good care of Young Madam."

Chu Qingzhi nodded and said to Chu Qingyue, "Second Sister, we're going back in the next two days. Take good care of yourself." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chu Qingyue was extremely reluctant. "You're all gone. I'm the only one left."

"Yuting is by your side. You're not alone."

"It's not the same. You're different," Chu Qingyue grasped Chu Qingzhi's hand. "Sister, if you ever come to the capital, you must visit me."

"Aren't you heading south?"

"Grandpa is ill, so we're postponing the trip until he's better."

"That's fine then. Sister, I should head back now."

Chu Qingyue watched reluctantly as Chu Qingzhi merged into the crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Second Sister, I'm leaving." Chu Qingzhi's figure blended into the crowd. In the blink of an eye, she had already walked far away.

Nanny Song said, "Young Madam, let's go back too."

"Alright." Chu Qingyue slowly turned around with some sadness and led the two nannies towards the residence.

In the evening, the river was gilded with golden light, fragmented into countless shimmering pieces by the gentle breeze.

A charming girl in orange attire strolled leisurely ahead, followed by a man in black robes, his gaze fixed on her.

These two were Wu Yaqing and Lu Yichen.

Wu Yaqing stopped under a weeping willow and turned to face Lu Yichen, "I'm going back." She looked at him expectantly, hoping he would say something.

Lu Yichen, however, turned to look at the river, "You'll be safe with Qingzhi."

Is that all? Wu Yaqing's face fell immediately, "That's it?"

Lu Yichen, who had spent years focused on revenge and had no experience with romance, was at a loss for words. After a pause, he suggested, "There's a good restaurant ahead. How about I take you there for something tasty?"

Wu Yaqing, frustrated and feeling unappreciated, retorted, "I'm not hungry. Who cares about eating right now?" Her cheeks puffed out in annoyance, too upset to even think about food.

Lu Yichen inwardly lamented, finding her difficult to appease, "Then tell me what you want to do. I'll accompany you."

After a moment, Wu Yaqing decided to change her approach, realizing getting angry at Lu Yichen for not understanding her feelings was pointless. "See those flowers over there? Pick one for me."

Lu Yichen spotted a vibrant bloom among the season-round flowers by the river, perfectly suiting Wu Yaqing.

He picked the flower and approached Wu Yaqing, his expression slightly awkward, but he carefully placed the flower in her hair.

Wu Yaqing touched the flower in her hair, her smile radiant, "Does it look nice?"

"Beautiful," Lu Yichen admitted, his heart racing at the sight of her bright and cheerful demeanor.

Wu Yaqing patted Lu Yichen on the shoulder, "You have good taste."

Lu Yichen couldn't help but smile. Wu Yaqing's lively spirit was the polar opposite of his own reserved nature, yet she unexpectedly stirred his heart, "I'll come to find you after I settle things in the capital."

Finally, he said something that pleased her. Wu Yaqing looked at him with a hint of delight, "When will you be done?"

"I'm not sure, but I'll make it as quick as I can."

"Alright, then I'll wait for you. If you need help, write to me, and I'll help you."

"Okay."

Chapter 668: Interactions

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

At the Chu Residence.

Tang Jinghong presented Chu Qingzhi with a box exuding the scent of herbs. "Qingzhi, have a look."

Upon opening the box and discovering its contents, Chu Qingzhi was pleasantly surprised. "This is amazing, you actually found a Snow Lotus."

Tang Jinghong, slightly regretful, shared, "We mobilized everyone to find it, and we could only find one."

"One is more than enough," Chu Qingzhi reassured as she closed the box. "I'll start making the medicine right away and deliver it to you tomorrow."

"Thank you for your hard work," Tang Jinghong expressed his gratitude.

Chu Qingzhi, with a playful twinkle in her eye, teased, "If you feel guilty, how about you cook dinner for me?"

Tang Jinghong agreed without hesitation, "Sure, I'll cook dinner for you tonight."

The two of them happily got busy.

Rong Shiyu sneaked out of her house, darting through the streets with cautious steps.

"Air!"

In her attempt to remain unnoticed, she accidentally bumped into someone. To her surprise, it was Bao Linjiang. "Linjiang, what are you doing here?"

Ads by Pubfuture

"I'm looking for my master. And you?" Bao Linjiang replied.

With a distressed look, Rong Shiyu grabbed Bao Linjiang's arm and hurried him along. "I'm also looking for your master. Let's talk while we walk."

Bao Linjiang, sensing Rong Shiyu's unusual behavior, asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Glancing back nervously, Rong Shiyu then pulled Bao Linjiang to quicken their pace. "I'll explain after we meet Qingzhi."

Seeing Rong Shiyu's urgency, Bao Linjiang had no choice but to match her pace.

"Miss, Miss..." Calls from behind startled Rong Shiyu, prompting her to pull Bao Linjiang into a sprint, eventually ducking into an alley.

The person behind her chased after her relentlessly. "Miss, don't run anymore. Master is angry."

Hearing this, Rong Shiyu ran even faster, determined not to be caught and taken back. Meeting Qingzhi and finding a solution was crucial for her today.

"Miss is here." Skilled martial artists from the Prime Minister's residence quickly spotted and caught up with them.

Caught in the whirlwind of Rong Shiyu's escapade, Bao Linjiang, while running, asked in confusion, "Did you sneak out?"

Rong Shiyu, in a moment of desperation, shoved a bamboo pole in the alleyway to the ground, creating a makeshift barrier against their pursuers. Panting, she urged, "Stop asking questions and run! Let's shake these tails first."

As their chasers nearly caught up, Bao Linjiang weighed his options quickly, then grasped Rong Shiyu's hand and with a light leap, they soared onto the rooftops, darting across with remarkable agility.

Rong Shiyu was taken aback by Bao Linjiang's impressive light-footedness. Glancing sideways at him, she suddenly found his profile strikingly handsome, as if seeing him for the first time.

"Miss, please, no more running..."

Ads by Pubfuture

As they approached a gap between two houses, Bao Linjiang wrapped his arm around Rong Shiyu's waist and effortlessly flew across, showcasing his profound strength and exceptional martial arts skills.

After the leap, Rong Shiyu saw Bao Linjiang through a new lens, feeling as though she was truly getting to know him for the first time.

Their pursuers remained relentless, "Miss, please come back with us, or Master will be furious."

Rong Shiyu shouted back defiantly, "I'm not going back with you!"

Bao Linjiang glanced at Rong Shiyu and suddenly felt that she was a little cute. He took out something from his sleeve and casually threw it behind him. Immediately, a large amount of smoke spread...

With Rong Shiyu in tow, Bao Linjiang descended from the rooftop and weaved through the alleys, successfully losing their trackers.

Catching her breath, Rong Shiyu, now calmer, remarked, "I had no idea your martial arts skills were so advanced?"

Bao Linjiang, modest and focused on his goals, downplayed his abilities, "They're alright, never really had the chance to use them."

Rong Shiyu expressed her gratitude, "Thankyou for back there."

"It's nothing," Bao Linjiang assured, looking ahead. "My master's house is just up ahead. Let's go."

"Okay."

Upon reaching the Chu Residence, they found it quiet, the guards gone, and the main gate closed. Bao Linjiang knocked, and Nanny Han opened the door, welcoming them, "Young Master Linjiang, Miss Rong, please come in."

Rong Shiyu scanned her surroundings and inquired, "Where's Qingzhi?"

Nanny Han pointed to the backyard and said, "Fifth Miss is preparing medicine."

"I'll go find her," declared Rong Shiyu, heading towards the backyard.

Bao Linjiang followed, and together they approached Chu Qingzhi's courtyard.

Standing before the door, Bao Linjiang knocked gently, "Master, may I come in?"

"Come in."

At that invitation, Rong Shiyu hurriedly added, "Qingzhi, may I come in too?1

"Both of you, come in."

Tiptoeing into the medicinal room, Rong Shiyu was greeted by the potent smell of herbs, slightly bitter to the nose. "Qingzhi, when will you be done?"

Chu Qingzhi, busy with her medicinal concoctions, replied without looking up, "Not until tomorrow. Just speakyour mind; I'm all ears.

With a troubled expression, Rong Shiyu got straight to the point. "Qingzhi, is there any way you can convince my dad to let me go on the medical volunteer trip?"

"Your dad's against it too?" Chu Qingzhi queried.

Rong Shiyu, baffled by her father's overprotectiveness, lamented, "Exactly, he's always fearing for my safety. But things are peaceful now; what could possibly go wrong?"

Chu Qingzhi empathized, "It's natural for parents to worry about their

children."

Fiddling with the tassels on her dress, Rong Shiyu pouted. "Qingzhi, please

don't take my dad's side."

Ads by Pubfuture

"I'm just stating the facts," Chu Qingzhi swiftly added, hinting at a solution.

"Actually, once you're married, your dad won't have a say anymore." Spotting the awkward situation between Linjiang and Shiyu, she decided to give them a push.

Bao Linjiang glanced at Rong Shiyu upon hearing this.

Shaking her head, Rong Shiyu insisted, "But I don't want to get married."

Chu Qingzhi counseled, "Shiyu, there's no need to resist marriage so much. Think about it, getting married is inevitable. The only thing you can change is who you marry. Shouldn't you seize the opportunity now?"

Rong Shiyu came to a realization. "So, you mean instead of passively getting married, I should actively seek someone who truly suits me?"

Chu Qingzhi praised, "That's what I meant!"

But Rong Shiyu was puzzled, "How do I go about finding him?

Chu Qingzhi hinted, "You don't have to look far; appreciate what's right in

front of you."

Bao Linjiang's heart skipped a beat, feeling unexpectedly nervous.

Rong Shiyu's gaze drifted involuntarily to Bao Linjiang, comparing him to all the men she had encountered, and realized he might just be the perfect choice

- at least from what she had seen.

Chu Qingzhi smiled to herself, noticing Rong Shiyu finally taking an interest in

her disciple. Progress.

Bao Linjiang, catching Rong Shiyu looking at him, quickly averted his eyes, his nervousness intensifying.

Ads by Pubfuture

Mulling over Chu Qingzhi's words, Rong Shiyu felt increasingly convinced. She had to take her happiness into her own hands and avoid a future with a stranger. "Qingzhi, I've got it."

"Seize the moment," encouraged Chu Qingzhi.

In just a few sentences, Rong Shiyu became energetic and waved at Chu

Qingzhi. "Qingzhi, I understand. I'm leaving."

"Linjiang, see Shiyu out."

"Uh, sure."

The two left the room one after the other.

Chu Qingzhi watched them leave, a slight smile playing on her lips as she returned to her work.

At the Prime Minister's residence.

In the study, the Prime Minister's voice, tinged with frustration, echoed, "This girl is getting wilder by the day. When she gets back, I need to discipline her properly, make her tone down her behavior."

The Prime Minister's wife defended her daughter, "It's because you're pushing her too hard. Everything is someone else's fault!"

The Prime Minister retorted angrily, "Gallivanting about all day, where's the decorum befitting a lady of her standing?!

His wife shot back, "Don't pretend to be so outraged. I know exactly what you're plotting."

Feeling a bit guilty, the Prime Minister asked, "What do you mean?"

With a stern look, his wife accused, "I knowyou want to send our daughter to

Ads by Pubfuture

the palace!"

Caught with his intentions laid bare, the Prime Minister remained silent. "I'm telling you, our daughter is not a pawn for your power struggles. If you dare marry her off into the palace, you and I are done." The Prime Minister's wife cherished Rong Shiyu dearly. Everyone knew the palace was no place for innocence, and she couldn't bear the thought of her daughter being sent there.

"I was considering it, but not anymore," the Prime Minister said. "I received news that the Emperor is preparing to marry the girls who participated in the talent show this year to the sons of the vassal kings who came to the capital to pay tribute. The Emperor has already issued an edict to let all the children who are eligible for marriage but are unmarried and not engaged to go to the palace."

His wife was taken aback, "Is that true?"

"Now, it's about verifying this news. If it's true, I won't have Shiyu participate

in the selection."

"I'll look into it immediately."

Rong Shiyu stood outside the study and listened to their conversation. She was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She pushed open the door before the Prime Minister's wife could. "Father, Mother, I heard everything you said."

After gathering her thoughts, she made her stance clear, "True or not, I will not participate in the selection."

The Prime Minister's wife was afraid that the father and daughter would quarrel again, so she quickly reminded Rong Shiyu, "Speak properly." Leaning on her mother's arm, Rong Shiyu whispered, "Mother, Father, I have someone in mind. Let me tell you about him; please consider it?"

The Prime Minister, initially annoyed that his daughter would talk to him in such a manner, softened, "Who?"

"Bao Linjiang," Rong Shiyu hesitated before saying his name. Rather than marrying a stranger, she preferred Bao Linjiang.

Thinking it over, Rong Shiyu realized Bao Linjiang, coming from a distinguished family compatible with hers, skilled and Chu Qingzhi's disciple, with appealing looks, was indeed a perfect match.

This realization made her more convinced of her choice.

The Prime Minister's wife's heart skipped a beat. "Shiyu, are you serious, or are you just trying to brush us off?"

Marrying into the Bao family, with its extensive connections, might not be inferior to a royal marriage.

Rong Shiyu said affirmatively, "Mother, I won't joke about my marriage. It's just, it's just..."

The Prime Minister's wife asked nervously, "Just what?

Rong Shiyu was embarrassed. "It's just that I just don't know how he feels about me."

When the Prime Minister heard this, he was unhappy. "You're the Prime Minister's daughter. How dare he not like you!

Rong Shiyu was a little embarrassed. "Father..."

Chapter 670: A Lantern Promise

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Prime Minister's wife glared at her husband before turning to Rong Shiyu, So, you're interested, but he's unaware, correct?"

Rong Shiyu nodded slowly, "Mother, although we volunteer together, we've kept our distance. Apart from during meals, we seldom interact, and I've not dared to reveal my feelings."

Her mother encouraged her, "Don't worry. Since you'll be volunteering together, take the opportunity to subtly find out his feelings. Your father and I think highly of Bao Linjiang."

Rong Shiyu's heart leaped with joy. Surprisingly, by presenting the situation differently, her parents actually encouraged her to volunteer, "Mother, I'll definitely win over this golden bachelor."

Her mother gave her a knowing look, "A lady must maintain her dignity. Even if you have feelings, there's no need to voice them..."

With that, the Prime Minister's wife took her daughter away for a private chat, leaving the Prime Minister behind, speechless.

At the Chu Residence.

Yue Donghan came to the Chu residence to buy ointment for her best friend, but she heard that Chu Qingzhi was leaving.

"Qingzhi, if you go home now, what should we do if we want to buy the wrinkle-removal ointment?"

Chu Qingzhi said, "The Young Madam of the Ning family, Chu Qingyue, is my second sister. If you want to buy ointment in the future, look for her.'1

This would not only expand their social network but also elevate her sister's status within their circle, promoting business cooperation among several families. It was a win-win situation.

Yue Donglian was reassured, "Then, we'll seek her out when needed."

Chu Qingning handed the remaining three bottles of ointment to Yue Donglian, "Madam, please take these."

"Thank you." After paying, Yue Donglian carefully stored the ointment, "I'll be off then. Let's dine together when you visit the capital again."

Chu Qingningsmiled and nodded. "Okay."

Content, Yue Donglian departed. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Shortly after, the Zhou family's butler arrived, "Miss Chu, I've heard you're leaving the capital. The master asked me to deliver this to you."

Opening the box the butler brought, Chu Qingzhi found it filled with discarded pearls, "So many discarded pearls?"

The butler explained, "These aren't just from our farm. The master instructed to collect all the discarded pearls from the surrounding farms."

Chu Qingzhi was pleasantly surprised and expressed her gratitude, "Thank your master for me."

"It's fine," the butler said politely. "Miss Chu, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."

"Take care, butler."

Chu Qingzhi stored the box in the carriage. Their belongings were nearly packed, ready for departure the next morning.

Chu Qingning mentioned, "Fifth Sister, I want to spend more time with Second Sister. I'm leaving tomorrow and already miss her."

Chu Qingzhi responded, "Go ahead. After all that's happened in the Ning family, she must be feeling down. Your company might cheer her up." "Then, I'm off."

"I'll walk out with you. I need to visit the General's Mansion to deliver the medicine I prepared for Jinghong."

"Let's go."

In a private dining room at a restaurant.

Yuan Hongjun, Bao Linjiang, Fan Yuru, and Rong Shiyu sat around the table, discussing their next destination for volunteer medical service.

Yuan Hongjun suggested, "How about we go to Tongzi County for our next medical volunteer trip?"

Bao Linjiang inquired, "Isn't Tongzi County also close to Master's place?" Having studied the map, Yuan Hongjun nodded, "Yes, it's just a half-day trip back and forth."

"Then, Tongzi County it is."

Yuan Hongjun turned to Fan Yuru and Rong Shiyu, "Have you two discussed this with your families? Do you need our help?"

Both Fan Yuru and Rong Shiyu shook their heads, "No problem on our end." "After dinner, let's pack up and leave early tomorrow morning with Master and the others."

"Okay."

That night, under the bright moonlight and amidst the glittering stars, two graceful figures flew side by side across a row of rooftops, eventually landing in a garden.

This garden, known as Begonia Garden, was filled with begonias that bloomed vibrantly all year round. The flowers were so vivid against the green leaves that they resembled bursts of flames from afar.

Chu Qingzhi admired the scenery, "Was this the place you wanted to show me?"

Tang Jinghong nodded, his gaze shifting from the begonias to Chu Qingzhi, "Ever since you arrived in the capital, you've been so busy. I had wanted to ' bringyou here for a rest, but you never had the time."

Chu Qingzhi kissed Tang Jinghong, "Don't be angry. I'll try not to break our dates in the future."

Tang Jinghong pulled her into an embrace, treating her like a precious treasure "When you cancel our plans, I feel like you don't care about me. But I don't think that way anymore."

Chu Qingzhi felt relieved. It was her first relationship, and she was inexperienced in soothing her boyfriend's feelings. "So, what do you think now?"

"I try to see things from your perspective," Tang Jinghong said tenderly, stroking her hair. "I should be solving your problems, not you. My role is to support you."

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself that, given the era they were in, Jinghong was quite understanding. Others might get upset over their wives simply stepping out of the door, but Jinghong had always supported her decisions, "I'll also try to consider your perspective more."

"Okay." Tang Jinghong released her, "Let's take a walk through the garden."

"Okay."

Hand in hand, they wandered past the begonia trees to the lakeside.

"What's this!" Chu Qingzhi was astonished by the sight before her. The lake was adorned with floating begonia lanterns, creating a mesmerizing scene that resembled a sea of flowers.

"Do you like it?" He had read that girls liked such elaborately arranged scenes. Qingzhi wasn't ordinary, and he was a bit anxious.

"I love it." It wasn't about the activity but the thought behind it. She felt Jinghong's sincerity.

Tang Jinghong fetched two begonia lanterns from a pavilion by the lake and handed one to Chu Qingzhi, "Shall we set one afloat as a blessing?"

"Okay." Holding the lantern, Chu Qingzhi lit it and gently placed it on the water, allowing it to drift towards the center of the lake.

Tang Jinghong placed his lantern in the water too, nudging it to follow Chu Qingzhi's.

Chu Qingzhi made a gesture, and a breeze stirred the lanterns, moving them until they formed the shape of two people holding hands on the lake's surface.

"Jinghong, go look from the pavilion."

Without realizing the trick, Tang Jinghong obeyed and saw the lanterns' arrangement from the higher vantage point of the pavilion. The sight of the lanterns forming a couple made him smile involuntarily.

Chu Qingzhi flew to the pavilion, "What do you think? Isn't it prettier from here?"

Tang Jinghong looked at her affectionately, "It is prettier, and it really looks like us."

Chu Qingzhi corrected, "It's not just like us; it is us."
