Chapter 751: A Ledger

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

After returning home, Chu Qingzhi tasked Chu Xuhua with caring for Chu Xujin while she herself retreated to her room to sketch a portrait of Ge Lihua. With the drawing in hand, she headed to Tianhe Peak.

Atop the peak, she used her beast taming skills to summon a multitude of birds, showing them Ge Lihua’s portrait and instructing them to search.

Afterwards, Chu Qingzhi revisited the official road, summoning nearby birds to assist in the search.

Having done all this, she started to look for clues on the official road, using her heightened senses to detect any anomalies.

Expanding her divine sense to cover the surroundings in search of inconsistencies, she finally noticed a broken tree branch by the roadside.

She flew over and took the broken branch into her hand. The cut was fresh. She looked around. A little farther in, the grass on the ground showed signs of tilting. It looked like they’d left this way.

Following these traces…

She walked roughly the length of a street before the trail abruptly ended, vanishing without a trace.

Surrounded by forests, with no signs of disturbed earth to suggest hidden passages, it seemed likely that the abductors had utilized light body techniques to carry someone away.

Faced with such a daunting search akin to finding a needle in a haystack, Chu Qingzhi reluctantly ceased her pursuit. After a moment of contemplation, she flew to a nearby mountain peak, hoping to find some clues.

However, the surrounding area offered no new insights, just endless expanses of forest.

With no other options, Chu Qingzhi sat down and began to calculate, her slender, fair fingers surrounded by a bright spiritual light, as beautiful as twinkling stars.

This was an advanced technique that could deplete her spiritual energy and potentially harm her if used carelessly, so she rarely resorted to it.

After some time, the light receded, and Chu Qingzhi sighed in relief. Ge Lihua was safe, located to the southwest, in the direction of Shuiyun County.

Using the last of her spiritual energy, she flew towards Shuiyun County.

After flying to Shuiyun County, a few birds flew towards her. Under the guidance of the birds, Chu Qingzhi came to a residence called the Yun Residence.

Chu Qingzhi flew to the roof and looked around.

The mansion was quiet. There was no light or movement, as if it had been abandoned.

A bird landed on her shoulder and then flew towards a window of one of the houses, settling there.

Having exhausted her spiritual energy with the divination, Chu Qingzhi needed to recover before taking any further action. Without her full strength, she risked falling into danger if confronted by a large group.

Thus, she found a spot to regain her spiritual energy, planning her next move.

In the dungeon.

Ling Yanjiang was tied to a rack, his bandaged wounds bleeding, staining his clothes with blood. “Release my junior sister, or I won’t say anything,” he demanded.

Qi Donghao sat in a chair, eyeing Ling Yanjiang ominously. “Just tell me where the ledger is, and I’ll release your junior sister immediately.”

Ling Yanjiang glared at the man seated before him. “Do you think I’m a fool?

The moment I reveal the location of the ledger, it’s our death sentence.”

Qi Donghao feigned indifference, “So, we’re at an impasse?”

Ling Yanjiang threatened, “Let me warn you, my junior sister is the sister-in- law of a future general’s wife. If you dare to harm her, even if I give you the ledger, your days are numbered.”

Qi Donghao was momentarily taken aback. Tang Jinghong was not someone to trifle with, and if they indeed provoked him, their lives would be miserable. However, he doubted Ling Yanjiang’s claim, as Ge Lihua was merely a merchant’s daughter from the northern border. How could she be connected to Tang Jinghong?

He gestured to someone behind him, “Investigate Ge Lihua.”

“Yes, Master.”

Ling Yanjiang, seeing Qi Donghao ordering an investigation, paradoxically felt a bit relieved. The men before him were assassins nurtured by the military governor of the eastern border, Ling City. The ledger they sought contained records of transactions and silver dealings between the military governor and various localities.

Qi Donghao, stroking his chin thoughtfully, stared ominously at Ling Yanjiang. “Even though I’m investigating, I must have that ledger. Ling Yanjiang, I’ll give you a bit more time. If you remain silent, I’m afraid your junior sister’s purity will be compromised.”

Ling Yanjiang panicked for a moment. “What do you mean?”

“You know exactly what I mean,” Qi Donghao signaled to his subordinates, “Go find some strong men on the street. It’s time to give Miss Ge a ‘warm welcome.'”

“Yes, Master.”

“You dare!” Ling Yanjiang struggled furiously, his face turning crimson and veins bulging on his forehead. “Qi Donghao, you’ll pay for this!”

Qi Donghao was unfazed. People like them were doomed to a bad end anyway. “Just hand over the ledger, and I’ll let you both go.”

“Impossible!” Ling Yanjiang roared, his family had already suffered at the hands of the military governor. Handing over the ledger would mean their deaths were in vain.

Ling Yanjiang’s younger brother, Ling Yanjing, a judge in Ling City, had accidentally come into possession of the ledger. Initially unaware of its significance, he soon faced a series of traps and persecutions that taught him that it was the ledger of the military governor.

With his family dead or injured, Ling Yanjing tasked Ling Yanjiang with taking the ledger to the capital to present it to the emperor, seeking justice for their family.

However, this matter was leaked by someone. As soon as Ling Yanjiang left Ling City, he was hunted down. Helpless, he could only hide the ledger. Fortunately, he hid the ledger. Otherwise, he would have died long ago. It was just that he implicated Lihua and was very sorry.

Qi Donghao sat in his chair expressionlessly. “My people will be back soon. You don’t have much time to think.”

At this moment, Ling Yanjiang was like a wild beast in a desperate situation. His expression was fierce, but he was tightly restrained. He glared at Qi Donghao as if he would tear him apart as soon as he broke free.

Qi Donghao stood and instructed, “Watch him. Call me when he’s ready to talk.”

“Yes, Master.”

Ling Yanjiang reached out to grab Qi Donghao. “Don’t go, don’t go…”

Qi Donghao didn’t even look at Ling Yanjiang as he left the dungeon. Such a stubborn prisoner would not yield without extreme measures.

LingYanjiangshouted, “Stop!!!”

His roar echoed in the pitch-black dungeon, sounding a little terrifying.

His cries caught Chu Qingzhi’s attention. With her extraordinary senses, she could hear distant sounds, even those underground.

Realizing the prisoners were hidden beneath the ground explained the dark, deserted appearance of the house.

Now that her spiritual energy had partially recovered, Chu Qingzhi contemplated her next move. The situation within the residence was more complicated than she had anticipated. She decided it was best to wait until her strength was fully restored.

Chapter 752: Slit Throat

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

As everyone entered, the walls rotated back to their original position, and Chu Qingzhi, after a glance, followed them.

The man in black, accompanied by the greasy man, proceeded down a dimly lit corridor to a descending staircase.

They lined up and descended, with the leader briefing, “There’s a pretty girl in the dungeon, a treat for you. Make sure to exert some effort and be loud, let the person in the next cell hear, got it?”

The greasy man leered, “Understood, big brother.”

Chu Qingzhi immediately understood what they meant. Her clear eyes were cold. Damn it!

At the same time, she heard Ling Yanjiang’s voice again. His hoarse roar was accompanied by the sound of metal chains rubbing against each other as he struggled. It sounded a little desperate.

Extending her divine sense to assess the situation, she confirmed Ling Yanjiang wasn’t in immediate danger and prioritized finding Ge Lihua.

Following the men while expanding her search, she soon located Ge Lihua.

Ge Lihua lay unconscious on the hay inside a stone cell, her body marked with numerous sword wounds bleeding but not fatally.

Spotting Ge Lihua’s location, Chu Qingzhi acted without hesitation.

With her spiritual energy not fully restored, she opted for a cautious approach to eliminate the threats.

Pulling out a dagger from her sleeve, she swiftly approached from behind one of the men in black, covered his mouth, and with a quick motion, slit his throat —a clean, efficient kill.

The greasy man, equally despicable, met the same fate at her hands.

She then made her way to the cell holding Ge Lihua, dissolving the lock into iron sand with a flick of her hand, and entered. After administering a healing pill to Ge Lihua and lightly touching her brow, Ge Lihua woke up, “Qingzhi.” “I’ll dress your wounds first.” Chu Qingzhi quickly took out bandages and other supplies from her bag, tending to Ge Lihua’s deeper injuries.

Ge Lihua, feeling remorseful, apologized, “Qingzhi, I’m sorry for troubling

you.”

“As long as you’re safe,” Chu Qingzhi helped her up. “Lihua, I’ll get you out of here first, then go save your Senior Brother.”

Injured and aware she’d only be a burden, Ge Lihua immediately agreed,

“Qingzhi, thankyou.”

“We can talk thanks later,” Chu Qingzhi said, leading Ge Lihua out.

On Ling Yanjiang’s side, his struggles had scraped the skin on his wrist. Blood seeped out and dyed the chains red. “Qi Donghao, you’ll die a horrible death!!”

One of the subordinates walked towards Ling Yanjiang and said sinisterly, “They went to look for four strong men. They’ll be arriving at the stone room where your junior sister is imprisoned soon. Are you just going to watch her be defiled?”

“You’re really ruthless. You’re actually willing to give up your entire family for a small ledger. Now, you’ve even lost a beautiful junior sister.”

“Your junior sister is so beautiful. How can you bear to do that?”

“Actually, you’re not much use alive. Killing you means no one will know where the ledger is.”

“Why won’t you just tell us where the ledger is?” the subordinate pressed.

Ling Yanjiang, seething with rage and defiance, dared them to kill him, “Then kill me!”

Ads by Pubfuture

His subordinate grabbed Ling Yanjiang’s collar fiercely. “Do you think I don’t dare to kill you?”

Ling Yanjiang roared at the top of his lungs, “Come on, kill me if you can.

What’s the point of making things difficult for a girl?”

The subordinate looked at Ling Yanjiang contemptuously. “No one is competing with you over bravery. We just need to achieve our goal!”

Ling Yanjiang roared crazily, “I’ll fight it out with you all!”

The subordinate took two steps back and gestured to the people behind him.

“Tell them to be careful and not hurt Miss Ge!”

“Yes.”

“No, no!!” The sound of chains scraping intensified as Ling Yanjiang shouted in desperation, “Junior sister, my junior sister…” His voice trailed off into a plea of despair, “I’ll tell you the location of the ledger, I’ll tell you!”

“You should’ve just said so earlier.” The previously speaking subordinate stepped forward, “Tell us, where is it?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I’ll tell you where it is!” Chu Qingzhi entered, swiftly dispatching the men in black with her embroidered needles, targeting their foreheads with deadly accuracy, killing them instantly.

Ling Yanjiang, seeing Chu Qingzhi, urgently said, “Miss, please save my junior sister; she’s nearby.”

“She’s already in a safe place with me,” Chu Qingzhi approached and cut the chains binding him with her dagger, freeing him.

Ling Yanjiang was stunned, having heard no noise of her rescue operation.

With everyone in the dungeon eliminated by Chu Qingzhi, their exit was unobstructed. She transported Ling Yanjiang to where Ge Lihua was, then turned back to the dungeon.

Weeds must be pulled out by the roots to prevent future troubles.

Soon, Qi Donghao discovered Ge Lihua and Ling Yanjiang had been rescued. Shocked and furious at the carnage in the dungeon, he ordered, “Go after them immediately, capture that person!”

“No need, I’m back,” Chu Qingzhi closed the dungeon door, her voice enhanced by spiritual power echoing inside before she entered.

Qi Donghao and his men, now trapped with her, recognized Chu Qingzhi. How did you get here?”

Chu Qingzhi replied coolly, “You kidnapped my future sister-in-law. Why wouldn’t I be here?”

Qi Donghao felt a sinking feeling, puzzled how Chu Qingzhi found them without leaving any trace. It was said she was even more formidable than Tang Jinghong, and now he believed it.

“We only wanted Ling Yanjiang, not your future sister-in-law.”

“And those strong men you sent for, what were you planning with them?” Chu Qingzhi’s eyes held a killing intent.

Qi Donghao was at a loss for words.

Chu Qingzhi did not have the patience to talk to her enemies. She immediately started to attack. She held the dagger and moved, immediately dealing with two of them.

Before anyone could grasp her actions, they were already dead. Qi Donghao, overwhelmed by fear for the first time, ordered an attack.

Chu Qingzhi moved through the dungeon like a specter, leaving a trail of death with each flash of movement.

Qi Donghao looked at this scene. After experiencing countless death experiences, he actually felt a trace of fear at this moment, but there was no way out.

He pulled out his sword and rushed towards Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Qingzhi happened to kill the last man in black. When she saw the tip of Qi Donghao’s sword approaching, she turned around and flashed behind him. She raised her leg and kicked him.

Qi Donghao flew out and hit the wall. With a crack, his neck was fractured.

Chu Qingzhi went forward and cut his legs. The speed of the knife was too fast, and there was no blood.

Then, she slashed his waist, back, and shoulder blades.

Enjoying torture as he did, it was only fair he experienced it himself.

Chapter 753: Emergency

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

After inflicting the final wounds, Chu Qingzhi grabbed Qi Donghao’s clothes, flipping him over to face her. His eyes filled with terror, he begged her as if seeing a demon, “Give me a quick end…

His voice, pleading and fraught with fear, elicited only a scoff from Chu Qingzhi.

“Quick? Do you thinkyou have a choice?” With those words, she drove the dagger into his thigh.

Qi Donghao’s screams seemed to shake dust from the ceiling above. Then came several swift slashes, allowing Qi Donghao to distinctly feel the knife’s chill as it sliced his skin, blood flowing out as if life itself was leaking away…

Yet, it wasn’t the loss of blood that tormented him most but the intense pain. He had suffered injuries before, but never had he experienced such agony.

His complexion turned a sickly green from the pain, too overwhelmed to even cry out, only able to stare at Chu Qingzhi with wide, despairing eyes.

After a moment, he gasped, “Please, end it quickly!”

Chu Qingzhi, twirling the dagger in her hand, considered his request. “I could grant you that… if you answer a few questions.”

Qi Donghao, utterly defeated, dropped his arms, “Alright… alright…

” who sent you?” Chu Qingzhi asked.

Qi Donghao, sweat beading on his forehead, revealed, “The military governor of the eastern border. He’s desperate for that ledger. Even if you kill me, he’ll send others. Ling Yanjiang can’t escape.”

Chu Qingzhi’s lips curved into a smirk, “Within five days, that ledger will reach the emperor. So, do you thinkyou have time?

Qi Donghao’s expression darkened, “That’s impossible.

Ignoring his disbelief, Chu Qingzhi continued, “What does this military governor fear the most?”

After a pause, Qi Donghao admitted, “He fears snakes the most.’

“Very good.” The dagger spun twice in Chu Qingzhi’s hand. “I’m done asking my questions.”

Qi Donghao’s agony intensified, breathing now a torturous task. “Can you end it now?”

“Yes.” A swift motion of her hand, and a crimson line appeared across Qi Donghao’s neck, expanding as his life ebbed away.

Surveying her surroundings, Chu Qingzhi then made her way to the dungeon’s exit.

Upon reaching it, she unleashed all her spiritual energy in a single burst, causing an immediate collapse of the structure, burying everything beneath it.

The neighbors, feeling the disturbance, emerged from their homes to investigate. Seizing the moment before more arrived, Chu Qingzhi swiftly departed from the area.

At the inn.

In the room, Ling Yanjiang frowned with worry, “Can Miss Qingzhi handle Qi Donghao and his men? Facing such overwhelming odds, what if they capture her?”

Ge Lihua, who understood Chu Qingzhi well, assured, “Qingzhi’s martial arts skills are more than ten times superior to ours. You should worry about Qi Donghao and his crew instead.”

“Ten times?” Ling Yanjiang found it hard to believe, thinking Ge Lihua was exaggerating.

Without further argument, as actions speak louder than words, Ge Lihua said, “I’ll go check on Qingzhi; she should be back by now.”

“Be careful,” Ling Yanjiang cautioned.

Just as he finished speaking, Chu Qingzhi’s figure suddenly flew in through the window, “I’mback.”

Ge Lihua hurried over, “Qingzhi, are you alright?’

“I’m fine.” Chu Qingzhi turned to Ling Yanjiang, “Qi Donghao is dead. No one will come after you now. Where is the ledger? I’ll have Jinghong send someone to retrieve it.”

Before, Ling Yanjiang would have never disclosed the location, but now, it seemed Chu Qingzhi was his only hope, “The ledger is buried under the pear tree in my family’s backyard. First, you’ll find a wine jar, dig a half-foot deeper, and you’ll find the ledger.”

Knowing the ledger’s location, Chu Qingzhi turned to Ge Lihua, “Let’s go home. Third brother must be worried sick.”

Ge Lihua was also deeply concerned about Chu Xujin, “Mhm.”

In the Chu Village.

The Chu family, gathered in the main hall, wore expressions of concern, occasionally glancing outside…

Chu Xujin was still unconscious, sleeping in a chair. Chu Qingzhi had exerted quite a force when knocking him unconscious, fearing his impulsiveness might lead to trouble.

Unable to stay put, Chu Xuhua said, “I’ll go take a look.” Shen Ruyue quickly responded, “Please do, but be careful.

Nodding, Chu Xuhua strode outside, where his horse was tied at the entrance of the courtyard, and rode towards the county town.

However, before he could leave the village, he spotted Chu Qingzhi and Ge Lihua returning. He hastily dismounted and anxiously asked, “Fifth sister, Lihua, are you both alright?”

“We’re fine, big brother. Let’s talk more back home,” Chu Qingzhi replied. “Good, everyone’s been very worried about you,” Chu Xuhua said with relief. Together, the three of them headed back home.

Seeing Chu Qingzhi and Ge Lihua return safe and sound brought a collective sigh of relief from the family.

Li Qingyu asked with concern, “Is everything resolved?”

Ads by Pubfuture

“It’s resolved,” Chu Qingzhi said with a relaxed expression. “Mom, we’re hungry. Let’s eat first.”

“Of course, of course. Let’s eat. I’ll warm up the food, and you all rest a bit,” Li Qingyu agreed immediately.

The women of the household went to the kitchen to help.

Chu Qingzhi approached Chu Xujin and gently tapped his brow, waking him up. “Lihua, Lihua…” Seeing Ge Lihua, Chu Xujin immediately stood up from the chair and hugged her tightly, “I was so worried…”

Ge Lihua softly patted his back, reassuring him, “Luckily, Qingzhi arrived in time. I’m fine.”

Chu Xujin gave a soft “hmm”. He still felt a lingering fear in his heart and hugged Ge Lihua even tighter.

After dinner, everyone retired to their rooms to rest.

After returning to her room, Chu Qingzhi immediately summoned the Golden Phoenix to inform Tang Jinghong about Ling Yanjiang’s situation.

Upon hearing the news, Tang Jinghong wasn’t concerned about the ledger but was worried about Chu Qingzhi’s safety. He asked urgently, “Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier? What if something had happened to you while you were handling it alone?”

“I’ll tell you next time. The situation was too urgent,” she explained. She had considered asking for Tang Jinghong’s help, but given the inefficiency of the era, she ultimately chose not to.

With the incident behind them, Tang Jinghong couldn’t say much more, “You should rest now. It’s been a long night.”

Feeling very tired, Chu Qingzhi agreed, “Okay.”

In his study, Tang Jinghong allowed the Golden Phoenix to return to his arm before quickly writing a letter for an eagle to deliver to the eastern border, instructing his people to retrieve the ledger. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

It’s time to clean up the eastern border!

In her room, Chu Qingzhi went to the windowsill, intending to check on the little parrot before sleeping.

The parrot, well cared for by Shuang’er, was sleeping soundly.

Seeing Chu Qingzhi, Shuang’er quickly flew out of the nest to the windowsill, “Qingzhi, Qingzhi…”

Chu Qingzhi extended a finger to gently stroke Shuang’er’s head, “What is it? Shuang’er chirped, “Worried about you, worried about you…”

Chu Qingzhi smiled, “No need to worry. No one in this world can harm me.” Shuang’er puffed up proudly, “You’re the strongest, the strongest…” “Go back to sleep now.”

“Sleep, sleep…”

Chapter 754: All Talents

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

As dawn began to break, the sound of horse hooves approached, stirring Da Bai from his nest with a rush. Now living in the workshop area as its guardian, Da Bai looked up, then darted towards the village.

After Tang Jinghong got off the horse, his eyes met Da bia’s.

Da Bai turned around and ran towards Chu Qingzhi’s house. He went upstairs and knocked on Chu Qingzhi’s door.

Chu Qingzhi was very puzzled. Usually, no one would knock so early in the morning. She walked over to open the door in confusion, but she didn’t expect it to be Da Bai. “What happened?”

Da Bai bit Chu Qingzhi’s clothes and tugged at it before running downstairs.

Chu Qingzhi was even more confused and followed it downstairs.

When she reached the entrance of the courtyard, a blue figure suddenly barged into her eyes. He was handsome and tall.

Under the faint golden morning light, Tang Jinghong’s black hair fluttered in the wind. He pursed his lips gently, his handsome face looking a little haggard.

Chu Qingzhi went up to him in surprise. “Why are you back?”

Tang Jinghong stretched out his arm and pulled Chu Qingzhi into his arms. “I was worried about you and rushed back overnight.”

Chu Qingzhi was touched. “I’m really fine.”

Tang Jinghong’s eyes were as gentle as water. “I can only be completely at ease when I see that you’re fine.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “You’ve been on the road all night. Rest for a while. I’ll make breakfast for you.”

“I’ll go with you.” Tang Jinghong specially came back to see Chu Qingzhi, unwilling to let her out of his sight.

Chu Qingzhi smiled and nodded. “Alright, let’s go.”

Tang Jinghong’s return surprised everyone, but when they thought of what had happened last night, they understood the reason. They praised Tang Jinghong in their hearts, and at the same time, it made the women raise their standards for their other half.

In the kitchen, Chu Qingzhi said as she made breakfast, “You came back at the right time. I’ll make you a soy sauce duck for lunch.”

Tang Jinghong said, “I’ll help you make it. When I learn it, I’ll make it for you in the future.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Then you have to learn well.”

“Don’t worry.”

Wu Yaqing walked in. She lowered her head slightly and clasped her hands together. She sighed and said, “Qingzhi, I have something to tell you.”

Yaqing had always been happy-go-lucky. Why was she so dejected? Chu Qingzhi found it very strange. “What do you want to say?”

“My aunt came to look for me yesterday.” Wu Yaqing’s eyebrows were knitted together. “She wanted to stop me from being with Lu Yichen. What should I do?”

Chu Qingzhi had once predicted that it was especially difficult for Wu Yaqing and Lu Yichen to be together. Now, the difficulty arose. “Is there no room for negotiation?”

“She’s very firm,” Wu Yaqing sighed, “I’m currently just stalling, leaving us both some room.”

“You’re doing the right thing by not confronting her head-on; otherwise, you’d be at a disadvantage,” Chu Qingzhi advised.

“What should I do?” Wu Yaqing looked genuinely distressed.

Chu Qingzhi suggested, “Find out why your mother doesn’t want you two together.”

“That makes sense. If we identify the problem, we can overcome it, right?!” Wu Yaqing brightened.

“Your mother is just worried about you, you know?” Chu Qingzhi added.

Wu Yaqing, now understanding, nodded, “I see that now.”

“Why not invite your aunt over for a meal?” Chu Qingzhi proposed.

“I’ll talk to her,” Wu Yaqing decided, hugging Chu Qingzhi gratefully, feeling lucky to have such a sincere friend, valuing her companionship above all else.

After breakfast, Chu Qingzhi took Tang Jinghong to see the new home for Da Bai and the others.

“Was it built so quickly?” Tang Jinghong marveled at the changes around them, silently admiring Chu Qingzhi’s efficiency.

“It’s all thanks to Wan Haonan and his team. They built it in just over a day. Everyone Is talented and capable,” Chu Qingzhi praised.

As Tang Jinghong was about to respond, a surprised voice called out from behind, “General Tang.”

This was followed by enthusiastic greetings, “Greetings, General Tang.”

Tang Jinghong turned around and looked at everyone. “No need for formalities.”

“General Tang, thank you, and thank you, Miss Chu Qingzhi,” Wan Haonan expressed with excitement and admiration, “Miss Chu Qingzhi not only healed our wounds but also provided us with work. We don’t know how to repay her.”

Tang Jinghong slightly softened his expression, “Just follow Chu Qingzhi’s instructions and do well in the tasks she assigns. That will be thanks enough.” n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Rest assured, General, we will do our best,” Wan Haonan assured with determination.

Tang Jinghong nodded, “Carry on with your work, there’s nothing here.”

The soldiers bowed and returned to their tasks, their excitement taking a while to subside.

Tang Jinghong was greatly admired and respected among the soldiers, a true idol in their eyes. Even a glimpse of him in the camp could stir excitement for a long time.

Watching everyone’s reaction, Chu Qingzhi noted to herself how Tang Jinghong’s leadership had truly won the hearts of his people.

They continued towards the horse stable.

Fu Bao was walking out to send Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao to school. It did not expect to encounter Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong when it came out, so it stopped.

Chu Qingzhi petted Fu Bao, “Go and come back soon. There are many things waiting for you to handle.”

Fu Bao nodded, its tail wagging to show understanding.

“Off you go,” Chu Qingzhi smiled.

Fu Bao walked away at a brisk pace.

Inside the stable, Tang Jinghong skillfully fetched food for the horses, reminiscent of his early days in the military. “When I first joined the army, I started with feeding the horses.”

So he was quite experienced, Chu Qingzhi thought as she stepped forward to help, noticing Hou Fu approaching.

Chu Qingzhi didn’t notice anything at first glance, but when she took a second look, she realized that something was wrong. Hou Fu’s stomach seemed to have become bigger.

Using her internal vision, she discovered Hou Fu was pregnant, about a month along.

Tang Jinghong walked over and placed his palm on the side of Hou Fu’s stomach. He was very particular about his technique. After touching for a while, he said, “Fu Bao has a foal in her stomach.”

Surprised, Chu Qingzhi asked, “You can tell?”

Tang Jinghong nodded, “Yes, I learned it while taking care of horses.”

Impressed by his versatility, Chu Qingzhi complimented Tang Jinghong inwardly. She sent a surge of spiritual energy into Hou Fu, “You won’t work anymore. Rest well, and I’ll find you some herbs for a healthy pregnancy.”

With a foal on the way, Hou Fu was now a top priority. Chu Qingzhi planned to praise Fu Bao upon its return.

After checking on the horses, they visited the pig and cattle sheds still under construction.

The cattle shed was nearing completion, progressing rapidly.

The progress of the brick kiln was not slow either. When Wan Haonan and the rest came over to build the shed, Chu Qingzhi asked Shen Ruyue to hire people to work in the brick kiln. There were more people, and the construction of the brick kiln was progressing every day..

Chapter 755: Misunderstanding

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Shuiyun County.

Wu Yaqing, not wanting to dampen her spirits, said, “Auntie, my shop is opening in a few days. Can we talk about other matters after it’s up and running?”

Seeing no urgency in the matter, Wu Wenyu agreed amiably, “What needs to be done? I’ve brought some people over, and we can help.”

Wu Yaqing waved off the offer, “No need, the people I’ve hired are enough. You guys rest well or take a tour around the county if you like.”

Wu Wenyu expressed with some relief, “Your mother would be very pleased to

see how capable you’ve become.”

Wu Yaqing smiled proudly, “Of course.”

At that moment, Song Qingyuan and Xu Guannan walked in, both dressed as scholars and strikingly handsome, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.

When Wu Yaqing saw them, she quickly went up to them. “Welcome, welcome.”

Song Qingyuan introduced Xu Guannan, “This is my classmate Xu Guannan, who has the best small script writing. He can handle any writing needs for your

shop.”

Needing someone to write for various parts of her shop, Wu Yaqing had initially wanted Chu Qingzhi’s help, but given her busy schedule, she decided to ask Chu Qingzhi to write the signboard and find someone else for the rest.

“We’ve met, no need for introductions,” Wu Yaqing warmly stated.

Caught off guard, Song Qingyuan looked between them, “I didn’t realize.” Xu Guannan clarified gracefully, “I met her through knowing Chu Qingzhi, not in the way you’re thinking.”

“My mistake,” Song Qingyuan shifted the topic to ease the awkwardness, “Let’s not delay any longer, Yaqing, you direct us.”

“Okay.”

Wu Wenyu noticed Song Qingyuan’s gaze on Wu Yaqing was brighter than usual. Considering Song Qingyuan’s reputable background, scholarly achievements, and status as a scholar of Yunfei School, she thought him to be a much better match than Lu Yichen.

Being informed of Wu Yaqing’s social interactions from the start, Wu Wenyu was well aware of the details.

After settling Wu Wenyu, Wu Yaqing took the two men to attend to the shop’s preparations.

Meanwhile, Lu Yichen arrived in Shuiyun County, rested a bit at an inn, and

then went to find Wu Yaqing.

Unexpectedly, upon reaching the shop, he saw Wu Yaqing in Song Qingyuan’s embrace.

The situation was as follows…

While the shop was being renovated, Wu Yaqing nearly got hit by some unstable wood. Song Qingyuan pulled her away, using his body to shield her from the falling lumber.

From Lu Yichen’s perspective, it looked like an intimate embrace between the

Ads by Pubfuture

two.

Lu Yichen flew over and kicked the wood away with his foot. Then, he pulled Wu Yaqing over. Although he was somewhat angry, he was still concerned about Wu Yaqing. “Are you alright?”

Startled initially, Wu Yaqing’s fear was replaced by joy upon hearing Lu Yichen’s voice, leading her to excitedly hug him, “You finally came to see me.” Embraced tightly by Wu Yaqing, any irritation Lu Yichen might have felt dissipated, “I came to you as soon as I finished my business in the capital.

Wu Wenyu, not pleased with the public display of affection, pulled Wu Yaqing away, “What’s this behavior in broad daylight?”

“I’m just too happy,” Wu Yaqing said as she introduced Lu Yichen to everyone. After the introduction, Wu Wenyu’s face darkened further, and she pulled Wu Yaqing behind her. “Lu Yichen, since you’re here, let me make it clear to you that Yaqing’s mother does not agree with you two being together.” Given his background, Lu Yichen didn’t place much importance on elders’ opinions. After hearing this, his expression remained unchanged, and he simply asked Wu Yaqing, “What do you think?”

Wu Yaqing confidently told him, “I want to be with you.

Having been abandoned since childhood left Lu Yichen feeling very insecure. Now that Wu Yaqing had chosen him, his gaze softened significantly, “Leave this matter to me to handle.”

Wu Yaqing, anxious, asked, “How will you handle it?”

Her mother wasn’t easily dealt with, or else she wouldn’t have sent her aunt over specifically.

Lu Yichen, with a cold expression but speaking gently, reassured, “Just leave it to me, don’t worry.”

Hearing their conversation, Wu Wenyu felt like the villain breaking up a pair of lovers. “Yaqing, you’re young, don’t be deceived by him; he’s not a good

person.”

Wu Yaqing didn’t take Wu Wenyu’s warning, “Auntie, Yichen came all the way from the capital to see me. Let’s not talk about anything else. Let me have a meal with him, at least.”

Wu Wenyu couldn’t really refuse and slowly let go of Wu Yaqing’s hand, “You wouldn’t deceive me, would you?”

“I wouldn’t.” Wu Yaqing spoke earnestly, “Auntie, 1 know what you’re worried about. I swear I won’t hurt my mother or anyone who cares about me. Don’t worry.”

Wu Wenyu was concerned that Wu Yaqing might elope with Lu Yichen but felt reassured after hearing her words, “Come back after the meal.

Wu Yaqing nodded with a smile. “Yes.”

Seeing them like this, Song Qingyuan felt a pang of disappointment. It turned out Yaqing had liked someone else all along, and that person, whether in terms of appearance, skills, or status, was beyond his reach.

After watching Wu Yaqing and Lu Yichen leave, he left the shop disheartened.

Wu Yaqing and Lu Yichen chose a nearby restaurant. It was still early for lunch, and the place was empty, but the chefs were already preparing in the kitchen.

Wu Yaqing cheerfully ordered a table full of dishes and then moved her seat next to Lu Yichen, “Yichen, when did you arrive in Shuiyun County?”

Lu Yichen, who had been missing Wu Yaqing terribly, couldn’t help but pull her closer, “I got here after dawn, went to an inn to bathe and rest a bit, then came to find you.”

Wu Yaqing, concerned, asked, “So you haven’t had breakfast?

Hearing Wu Yaqing’s caring words softened Lu Yichen’s heart, “No, I’ll eat more in a bit.”

Wu Yaqing said, “Qingzhi said skipping breakfast is bad for health. You can t do this next time.”

Lu Yichen smiled lightly, “I know, I’ll listen to you.”

Wu Yaqing looked up eagerly, “How long do you plan to stay in Shuiyun County?”

Lu Yichen tenderly replied, “For a day. How about 1 take you out for fun after we eat?”

Wu Yaqing got excited, “Yes, that sounds great.”

“I’ll accompany you however you want to play,” Lu Yichen said with a slight smile, always feeling relaxed and happy when with Yaqing. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After chatting for a while, Wu Yaqing couldn’t help but ask, “How do you plan to solve the issue between us?”

“You’ll know when the time comes,” he said, genuinely liking Wu Yaqing and not wanting her to face criticism, so he planned to find a way for them to be together openly and blessedly..

Chapter 756: Tissue Sale

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Alright, it didn’t matter if he didn’t say it. Wu Yaqing smiled brightly at Lu

Yichen. “Then what do you need me to do?”

Lu Yichen leaned close to Wu Yaqing’s ear, whispering, “You just need to keep liking me. Leave everything else to me.”

Wu Yaqing’s face became serious as she looked at Lu Yichen, “I want to face all difficulties together with you.”

In Lu Yichen’s heart, women were always considered fragile, but this view had been shaken by Chu Qingzhi before, and now, it seemed to be subtly shaken by

Wu Yaqing as well.

After a moment of thought, he said, “Can you return to An Huai Kingdom for a while? I’ll come to you, and we can explain everything to your mother in

person.”

Wu Yaqing paused, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, “You know about my identity?”

“I found out unintentionally, not deliberately prying. I’m sorry,” Lu Yichen quickly apologized. He hadn’t intentionally sought out Yaqing’s identity; it was the thief, Chai Wenjian, who told him.

Wu Yaqing held Lu Yichen’s hand, “There’s no need to apologize. I should have told you these things earlier. Just don’t be mad at me.”

“I won’t be mad,” Lu Yichen solemnly said. “From now on, I won’t listen to

others. If I want to know something, I’ll ask you directly.”

Wu Yaqing nodded with a smile, “Mhm.”

Lu Yichen pursed his lips, his brows furrowed in thought, hesitantly asking,

“Who was the man holding you just now?”

Wu Yaqing was startled. Who had been holding her? “What are you talking about?”

“When I entered the shop just now, I saw…” Lu Yichen didn’t want the scene he witnessed to become a thorn in his side, so he decided to bring it up.

After a moment of thought, Wu Yaqing understood, “His name is Song Qingyuan, a scholar from Yunfei School. He helped treat someone who was injured in the shop before, and we got to know each other through that. I want to make it clear, there’s nothing between him and me, and he didn’t hold me.

Don’t make things up.”

“Then just now…”

“He just pulled me over wanting to block the wood for me, and even then, he grabbed my wrist, not touching me at all.”

Lu Yichen stared at Wu Yaqing for a while, then kissed her forehead, “Yaqing, I will treat you well. As long as you don’t leave me, I will always protect you.”

Looking at Lu Yichen, Wu Yaqing was deeply moved, “I won’t leave you.”

Lu Yichen hugged Wu Yaqing back into his arms, his feelings for her not only filled with affection but also gratitude.

In the Chu Village.

Chu Xujin took a day off today and didn’t go to the county office. Yesterday s incident of Ge Lihua’s disappearance had a huge impact on him. Now, he just wanted to be with Ge Lihua and didn’t feel like doing anything else.

At the moment, he sat in the schoolroom, attentively participating in the class along with everyone else, even taking diligent notes.

His presence distracted the children, who couldn’t help but glance at him repeatedly, unable to focus on the lesson.

Seeing the children’s restless gazes towards Chu Xujin, Ge Lihua, feeling helpless, paused the class and approached him to quietly ask, “Can you go home and wait for me?”

Ads by Pubfuture

Chu Xujin shook his head seriously, “I can’t.”

Everyone burst into laughter. Chu Xujin had previously announced his intention to marry boldly, and now everyone knew about his engagement to Ge

Lihua.

“What a clingy guy!”

“Such a grown man, still clinging to Sister Lihua, it’s so funny.

“Brother Xujin, is it because Sister Lihua is too beautiful, and you can’t bear not to look at her?”

Chu Xujin joked with the children, “Yes, I can’t bear it. Right now, what I want to do most is to marry your Sister Lihua and bring her home.”

Ge Lihua reprimanded him, “Don’t talk nonsense in front of the children.”

Chu Xujin earnestly replied, “I’m not talking nonsense. This is my truest thought.”

To prevent Xujin from causing more disruption, Ge Lihua asked, Xujin, can you cook?” n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Chu Xujin nodded, “Yes, I can.”

Testing the waters, Ge Lihua said, “Then, I want to eat the meal you cook for lunch, is that okay?”

“Of course, it’s okay. I’ll go buy ingredients right away and cook for you.” Chu Xujin quickly headed towards the exit, but suddenly stopped at the schoolroom door and asked, “What would you like to eat?”

Ge Lihua gave Chu Xujin a beautiful smile, “Anything you make is fine.”

“Alright then.” Chu Xujin responded and then dashed off like an arrow released from a bow, quickly disappearing from sight.

The children laughed again, admiring how nice Brother Xujin was to Sister

Lihua, even cooking for her.

Ge Lihua finally sighed in relief, watching Chu Xujin leave, and then said, “Let’s focus, everyone. We’ll continue with the lesson.”

The children unanimously agreed, “Okay.”

Horse stable.

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong together laid a pipeline from the mountain to the horse stable to bring mountain spring water for the horses to drink.

Just as the construction was completed, Bao Linjiang arrived. “I should have come earlier.” He was surprised to see Tang Jinghong. “Brother Tang, why are you in the village?”

Tang Jinghong, dressed in casual attire but still unable to conceal his handsome and dignified demeanor, replied, “I came back to see Qingzhi, nothing else.”

“Oh.” Bao Linjiang took the hoe from Chu Qingzhi’s hands, “Master, you rest. 111 take care of the rest.”

Chu Qingzhi stepped aside, and after a while, Rong Shiyu came over, Qingzhi.

Chu Qingzhi turned around, “You came too?”

“Yes.” Rong Shiyu handed her water brought from home, “Linjiang and I came to buy tissues from you. You don’t know, the Empress has been gifting the tissues you gave her everywhere. After using them, everyone said they wanted to buy some, so Linjiang and I came to check.”

The Empress really did a great job, Chu Qingzhi said, “The packaging for the tissue paper hasn’t been produced yet, we only have tissues. If you don’t mind, I’ll take you to get some later.”

“We don’t mind. As long as we can get the tissues, it’s fine.” My mother, sisters-in-law, nieces, and nephews have all been sending letters urging me. If I don’t take them home soon, who knows how much more they will urge.

Bao Linjiang quickly said, “Master, I don’t mind either.”

Tang Jinghong said, “Qingzhi, you go handle the tissue business, and leave this place to me.”

Chu Qingzhi replied, “I’ll be back soon.”

Rong Shiyu said to Bao Linjiang, “You stay here and help. Later, I’ll have my people bring yours back too. I’ll also take the ones for Hongjun and Yuru.”

Bao Linjiang nodded, “Okay.”

Chu Qingzhi and Rong Shiyu then went to the paper mill.

On the way, a servant dressed young man came towards them, “Miss Chu, I am from the Zhou family. This is a letter from our master for you.”

Chu Qingzhi quickly read the letter, which stated that Zhou Xiangfu wanted to order ten thousand boxes of tissue paper and informed Chu Qingzhi that the entire capital was looking for tissues, hoping she could produce more.

The servant also held a box, which he handed to Chu Qingzhi after she read the letter, “This is something the master specifically asked me to bring to you.” Chu Qingzhi opened the box to see, it was a box of defective pearls. She smiled and said, “Tell Master Zhou I will ship the goods as soon as possible..”

Chapter 757: Cooking Personally

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

The servant said, “Thank you, Miss Chu.”

Chu Qingzhi had signed a special contract with Zhou Xiangfu, allowing for transactions of individual goods without needing to sign a contract each time.

Rong Shiyu remarked, “Tissues are in such high demand.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. This was the effect of celebrity endorsement. She planned to send some gifts to the Empress later as a token of gratitude.

“Let’s go.”

“Ok.”

The two entered the workshop, and Chu Qingzhi led Rong Shiyu directly to the storeroom to see the tissues. Rong Shiyu bought twenty thousand sheets, dividing them into four parts, one for each family.

After Rong Shiyu took her tissues away, Chu Qingzhi called Chu Yun over, Go back to the village and tell Ruyue to find me another thirty people who can work at night.”

With such a large volume of orders, the only way to get the goods out quickly was to work overtime.

Chu Yun replied, “Okay, I’ll go right now.”

The people were quickly found: ten for tissue production, ten for tissue box production, and ten for packaging. Since packaging wasn’t possible yet, these ten were temporarily assigned to tissue production. Once packaging was possible, they would be reassigned.

After tasks were allocated, an old customer arrived.

Chu Feng informed Chu Qingzhi, who decided to personally receive them. Rong Shiyu went back to Chu Village and informed Tang Jinghong about Chu Qingzhi’s temporary commitment to the workshop, so he wouldn’t worry.

In the reception room.

Chu Qingzhi offered tea to the guest, “Young Master Tan, please sit.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Tan Mengyang smiled and sat down, exchanging pleasantries, “It’s been a while, Miss Chu. You’re as graceful as ever.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled, “And you’re as elegant as always, Young Master Tan.

Tan Mengyang chuckled, “I’ve been to Chu Village several times but never saw you, Miss Chu. I didn’t expect my luck today.”

“Master Tan has become even more eloquent.” Chu Qingzhi maintained her smile, “What brings Young Master Tan to the workshop today?”

Chu Qingzhi was indeed very direct, Tan Mengyang replied, “Recently, you changed the packaging of your products, which I found quite appealing. I m also considering changing the packaging for our goods. I wonder if we could place an order?”

Ordering packaging? Chu Qingzhi had thought about this before but didn’t expect Tan Mengyang to have the idea so soon, “As an old customer, of course, we’ll take Young Master Tan’s business. What kind of packaging does Young Master Tan have in mind for his products?”

Tan Mengyang signaled to his servant.

The servant placed a food box on the tea table and took out sesame crisp cakes, placing them next to Chu Qingzhi, “Miss Chu, it’s these.

Sesame crisp cakes, similar to walnut crisp, are palm-sized, baked, and very fragrant.

“Do you have a design in mind?”

“No, but I have an idea,” Tan Mengyang came prepared, “I hope you can help me design the pattern on the packaging, using the Q-cute designs from the food festival as a sample.”

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself, Tan Mengyang’s business acumen was commendable, “Do you have any specific ideas?”

Tan Mengyang shook his head, “I’d like to discuss the specifics after seeing the design you come up with.”

Chu Qingzhi agreed, “Okay, but it will cost a bit more for me to draw the

design.”

“No problem,” Tan Mengyang readily agreed, and they signed a contract.

Chu Qingzhi saw Tan Mengyang off, “Take care.”

Ads by Pubfuture

After Tan Mengyang left in his carriage, Chu Qingzhi returned to the reception room and tried the sesame crisp cakes. They were crunchy, full of sesame flavor, and quite delicious. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

After finishing the sesame crisp cakes, Chu Qingzhi had an idea for the design and immediately started sketching.

Once the design was complete, she handed it to Li Changjiang, asking him to make a sample when he had time.

Li Changjiang said he could make it in the afternoon. Now that he had over thirty people working under him, and some already trained, he only needed to oversee the work and didn’t have to do everything himself.

After handling the workshop’s affairs, Chu Qingzhi led a team transporting oil paper back to the village.

In the Chu Village.

Tang Jinghong and Bao Linjiang had already handled all the follow-up work for the horse stable.

Chu Qingzhi went to check on their work and praised them. Then, she invited Bao Linjiang and Rong Shiyu to stay for a meal, which she would cook herself.

With such an offer, neither of them refused.

When it was about time, Chu Qingzhi went back home to cook. Entering the kitchen, she found Chu Xujin already busily working there.

Chu Qingzhi was puzzled, “Third brother, didn’t you go to the county office today?”

Chu Xujin, as if he had taken an excitant, said, “I took a leave. I decided to accompany Lihua for the day.”

Looking around, Chu Qingzhi asked, “So, what are you doing now?”

“I’m making lunch for Lihua.” Chu Xujin turned to look at Chu Qingzhi, “Aren’t you planning to cook lunch for Jinghong? No problem, you do yours, and I’ll do mine. We’ll eat together.”

Chu Qingzhi decided. “That’ll do.”

She decided to make just one dish, soy sauce duck, which was originally planned for last night’s dinner but had to be postponed to today’s lunch due to unexpected events.

Shortly after, Li Qingyu came in, “Qingzhi, Chu Xiaolan’s family in the village has piglets for sale. Didn’t you say you wanted to buy piglets? You can go take a look.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Chu Qingzhi nodded, “Okay, I know, mother.”

“And mother, are the wheat crops sown?”

Li Qingyu nodded with a smile, “They’re sown. We cleared the surrounding wasteland for sowing, and if there are no disasters next year, we should harvest at least ten thousand pounds of wheat.”

Chu Qingzhi was somewhat impressed, “Mother, you’ve worked hard.” Li Qingyu said pragmatically, “It’s nothing. Farmers are supposed to grow crops. Although our family does business, farming is the foundation.” Chu Qingzhi agreed, “Mother is right. No matter what, we won’t give up farming.”

Li Qingyu continued, “Exactly, that’s what I mean. We must not become like others who forget their roots after becoming wealthy. If we fall on hard times, we won’t even have a place to stay.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “I’ll listen to mother.”

At noon, Li Qingyu invited Xu Songnian, Xu Wenlin, and Tian Xiaoqiu to lunch at their home. The duck gifted by Li Qingyin was cooked, and they were invited to share the meal.

Xu Songnian and Xu Wenlin were more relaxed, as the Chu family had always treated them well. Tian Xiaoqiu, however, was very reserved. Chu Qingzhi’s home was too impressive, and standing in the courtyard, she felt inferior. Noticing Tian Xiaoqiu’s discomfort, Li Qingyu involved her in serving dishes and fetching bowls and chopsticks to make her feel included and lessen her sense of alienation.

Everyone took their seats.

Tian Xiaoqiu, looking at the full table of dishes, swallowed hard. She had never eaten so many dishes even at a feast. How wealthy must her third aunt’s family be? Her young mind couldn’t quite grasp it.

After Grandpa Chu started eating, everyone else was free to eat.

Li Qingyu served dishes to the three children, “Eat more.

The children thanked her in unison, “Thank you, Auntie.”

Li Qingyu said, “Take whatever you like, make yourself at home, and don’t be shy.”

“Okay.”

Meanwhile, Chu Qingzhi served Tang Jinghong the best part of the soy sauce duck, “Try this.”

Tang Jinghong’s eyes softened, “Hmm.”

Chu Xujin offered a duck leg to Ge Lihua, “This is to replenish your body after suffering so many injuries.” He felt extremely distressed when mentioning her injuries.

Ge Lihua’s cool gaze softened, “Okay, you eat too.

Chu Xujin insisted, “Take care of yourself, I can take care of myself. Eat up.”

Ge Lihua nodded with a smile, “Hmm.”

After the meal, Ge Lihua packed some food and went to the county to deliver food to her senior brother.

Since the ledger had not yet been retrieved by Tang Jinghong, and Ling Yijiang’s crisis was not entirely resolved, he stayed in an inn in the county..

Chapter 758: Huge Contribution

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

At the Li Family Porcelain Workshop.

Recently, Li Shaoliangwas inspired to strive for greater success.

Fortune favors the diligent, and his business has been doing very well lately. He even learned that a friend of his needed to purchase a batch of porcelain for a longevity banquet, so he arranged a meeting to select porcelain at the kiln. However, upon entering the kiln, he encountered a scene he wished not to see. Chu Qingshuang and Yan Helin were examining some porcelain pieces, talking and laughing joyously.

Seeing this, he immediately abandoned his friend and approached them, “Qingshuang, what are you discussing?”

Chu Qingshuang hurriedly showed Li Shaoliang the porcelain, “We’ve made these. What do you think?”

Li Shaoliang wanted to spitefully criticize, but seeing Chu Qingshuang’s hopeful gaze, he swallowed his words and decided to take a good look first.

At this moment, his friend joined them, “Who made this porcelain?” Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Yan Helin responded, “Qingshuang made it. She succeeded on her third attempt, perfectly crafting the porcelain. It’s quite remarkable.”

The friend examined the porcelain Li Shaoliang was holding, “This is innovative and beautiful, indeed impressive. How do you plan to sell this porcelain?”

Yan Helin replied, “This is a new type of porcelain, and we haven’t discussed its sale yet. But if the young master is genuinely interested, we could offer it at a discounted rate.”

The friend nodded, “How about fifty taels of silver each?”

Since they hadn’t consulted with experts for a precise pricing, Yan Helin said,

Ads by Pubfuture

“Let me inquire first, and I’ll get back to you shortly.”

The friend agreed, “Alright, go ahead.”

Yan Helin took the porcelain and left.

Chu Qingshuang invited Li Shaoliang and his friend to the reception room for tea, preparing to discuss business. At this point, Li Shaoliang pulled Chu Qingshuang aside, leaving her confused.

Li Shaoliang struggled to find the right words, “Qingshuang, could you stop making porcelain with Yan Helin?”

Chu Qingshuang tilted her head, “Is there something wrong with him?” Didn’t they clear up any misunderstandings last time?

“I’m just worried that he…” Li Shaoliang faltered, “Yan Helin is a man, and you’re a woman. Being too close might spark rumors.”

Chu Qingshuang hurriedly said, “Don’t spout nonsense.”

Li Shaoliang added, “I trust you both, but rumors are harmful. If any negative talk spreads, it would reflect poorly on you.”

What kind of lame excuse was this? He couldn’t help but despise himself.

Chu Qingshuang thought about it and felt that Li Shaoliang was right. She should be more careful. “This porcelain is already done. I won’t discuss porcelain with him anymore.”

Li Shaoliang heaved a sigh of relief. “Alright, it’s settled then.”

Returning to the reception room, Chu Qingshuang continued discussing the porcelain with Li Shaoliang’s friend, hoping to finalize the deal.

The porcelain, designed by Yan Helin and produced by Chu Qingshuang, would grant her half the profits from sales according to their agreement.

The friend, highly interested in the porcelain after Chu Qingshuang’s pitch, decided, “If the price is right, I’ll order ten pieces.”

Ads by Pubfuture

“Okay.”

Without waiting long, Yan Helin returned, “How many pieces do you plan to order?”

The friend glanced at Chu Qingshuang, “As we agreed, if the price is right, I’ll order ten pieces.”

Yan Helin readily agreed, “Alright, it’s sold to you at the price you mentioned.” The three of them signed a contract, agreeing to deliver the goods in three days.

Chu Qingshuang was overjoyed. From now on, she was officially a porcelain master!

In the porcelain industry, once you sell your own crafted porcelain, you’re recognized as an official porcelain master, qualifying to open your own kiln. However, Chu Qingshuang wouldn’t start her own kiln, not wanting to disregard her master’s nurturing and guidance.

Next, Chu Qingshuang made a sample porcelain piece and placed it in Li Shaoliang’s shop. As long as this type of porcelain sells, she would receive a share of the profits.

Perhaps it was luck, but as soon as the sample was displayed, someone ordered five pieces, thrilling Chu Qingshuang so much that she remained excited even after returning home.

After Li Zhenzong found out about this, he once again expressed his disdain for his youngest son. It was now more difficult for him to catch up to Qingshuang!

At Chu Xialan’s house.

Seeing Chu Qingzhi approaching, Chu Xialan warmly greeted her, “Sister Qingzhi.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled, “My mother mentioned you have piglets for sale; I came to take a look.”

Chu Xialan quickly invited her in, “Please, this way.”

The sow and piglets were kept in a pen in the backyard. Approaching, the lively sounds of the piglets could be heard.

Ads by Pubfuture

Chu Xialan explained, “We have two sows that gave birth to twenty-five piglets in total. Sister Qingzhi, if you take them all, I can give you a discount.”

Chu Qingzhi scanned the piglets, finding them healthy and easy to raise, Do you know where else I can find piglets?”

Chu Xialan thought for a moment, “Not in our village, but Sun Village has many. You can check there.”

“Thank you, I will,” Chu Qingzhi responded, “I’ll take all your piglets once the pigpen is ready.”

Chu Xialan agreed, “That works. The piglets still need some time to grow.”

After chatting for a bit, Chu Qingzhi left for Tang Jinghong at the foot of the mountain.

Tang Jinghong was cutting grass at the mountain’s base for the horses, as Da Bai was too busy to care for the foals.

Approaching Tang Jinghong, Da Bai also came over, bringing a young foal.

The foal, about a month old and somewhat weak, grew up being fed by various families without a mother horse’s care.

Da Bai, seeking praise, nudged Chu Qingzhi, as if to say, “Look, I brought you another horse. Praise me, please?”

Chu Qingzhi patted Da Bai’s head, “Good job, you’ll get a piece of meat as a reward.”

Delighted, Da Bai rolled around happily.

Tang Jinghong, admiring the young horse, appreciated Da Bai even more, “Keeping Da Bai is like inviting wealth.”

A horse costs quite a bit of silver. Now that Da Bai keeps bringing horses home, the family saves money on purchasing horses, contributing significantly.

Da Bai, enjoying Tang Jinghong’s praise, affectionately nuzzled him.

Chu Qingzhi said, “Jinghong, I’ll take the foal back to the horse stable to find some milk.”

There were lactating mares in the horse stable that could feed the foal.

Tang Jinghong said, “Okay.”

Chu Qingzhi beckoned the foal, which, understanding her gesture, blinked its large eyes and followed.

Da Bai stayed behind, a bit tired, planning to rest for a while before returning with Tang Jinghong..

Chapter 759: Confiscating the Gift

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

After school, Yan Yixian stopped the two brothers, “Xuyuan, Xuyao, wait for me, I’ll go home with you.”

Chu Xuyuan replied, “Teacher, we’ll wait for you at the main gate.”

Yan Yixian nodded, “Okay, I’ll put my things away and then come find you.”

The brothers arrived at the main gate where Fu Bao, always busy from dawn to dusk, had just arrived. Seeing the two, it hurried over to them.

It was school dismissal time, and as the students left, they all glanced at Fu Bao.

This horse, known for ferrying children to and from school, had become quite famous among the students. Some even wrote essays or drew pictures of Fu Bao, making it a star not just in the village but in the school as well.

Chu Xuyao patted Fubao’s head, “Wait a little longer, Teacher Yan will come with us.”

Fu Bao flicked its tail and went to the side to graze, having had no time to properly eat all day.

He Shaozhi and Su Wenji, seeing them not leaving, approached them.

Chu Xuyao gave them a brief look. Since their previous confrontation, the two hadn’t troubled them again. Realizing they were all studying in the same teaching building, they decided to reconcile.

He Shaozhi looked around, “Who are you waiting for?”

Chu Xuyao turned to He Shaozhi, his clear eyes showing a hint of disdain, “Waiting for Teacher.”

These two were no longer hostile towards them, but they imitated them in everything, making others think they were four brothers. Someone had even asked Chu Xuyao about it.

He Shaozhi envied their close relationship with Teacher Yan, “Is Teacher going to your house?”

Ads by Pubfuture

‘Yes, he’s going to thank my fifth sister for treating his leg,” Chu Xuyao raised an eyebrow, thinking, “Now, let’s see you copy that.”

“Oh,” He Shaozhi responded, looking somewhat disappointed, wishing he had such a sister.

Chu Xuyuan smirked, knowing there was nothing left to copy, “The master is coming, we’re leaving.”

He Shaozhi and Su Wenji stepped back to make way, watching as Yan Yixian approached.

They had once pushed Yan Yixian but sincerely apologized later, and he forgave them.

“Teacher.”

Yan Yixian advised them, “Go straight home after school, don’t wander around and make your family worry.”

They obediently replied, “Yes, Teacher.”

Yan Yixian left with Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao.

He Shaozhi, watching them leave, enviously said, “Why do Xuyuan and Xuyao always have it better than others?”

Su Wenji pointed out, “Because they have a good sister.”

He Shaozhi sighed, “Let’s go back, we don’t have a capable and lovely sister, just strict parents.”

The two exchanged looks and sighed together.

In the Chu Village.

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao, after putting away their things, asked Li Qingyu about Chu Qingzhi’s whereabouts and then went with Yan Yixian to find her.

Chu Qingzhi was working with everyone on repairing the pigsty, which had already been constructed and resembled the layout of a modern pig farm. Once repaired, they could start buying piglets.

When Yan Yixian arrived, everyone was busy building the house for cooking pig food, as cooked food helps pigs grow faster and prevents them from falling ill easily.

Ads by Pubfuture

He thought to himself that such a down-to-earth and beautiful girl like Chu Qingzhi was rare; anyone else would probably not engage in such manual labor.

With admiration, he approached, “Miss Chu.”

Turning her head and then dusting off her hands, Chu Qingzhi walked over,

“It’s rather dirty here, let’s talk over there.”

Next to the pigsty, a small pavilion had been constructed with a stone table inside. Despite being a pig farming area, it was also a place for living, equipped with amenities for daily life.

Surrounded by mountains and forests, it was a pleasant spot to sit and relax during spare time.

It could also serve as a place for business discussions, which was quite nice.

In the pavilion, before sitting down, Yan Yixian handed Chu Qingzhi a small box, “Thank you for treating my leg.”

Chu Qingzhi pushed the box back, “If you really want to thank me, please take good care of my two brothers.”

Yan Yixian, a top scholar and a teacher of prospective scholars, could provide invaluable guidance to Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao on their path to success in the imperial examinations. Chu Qingzhi didn’t lack money but resources.

Yan Yixian was surprised and replied, “The gift must be given, and I will also take good care of Miss’s two brothers. Please rest assured.”

Chu Qingzhi glanced at the box, “Then consider this gift as the tuition I’ve paid for my brothers.”

Yan Yixian understood her intention, “I will dedicate myself to the task.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled slightly, “Then 1 thank you in advance, Master Yan.”

“You’re welcome, Miss.”

“It’s getting late; I’ll have Fu Bao take Teacher Yan home.”

“Thank you.”

After sending Yan Yixian off, Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao ran up to Chu Qmgzhi. Chu Xuyuan asked, “Fifth sister, did you not accept Teacher Yan’s gift?”

Chu Qingzhi replied mysteriously, “I did, but it wasn’t money.” n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Not quite understanding.

Chu Qingzhi patted Chu Xuyuan’s shoulder, “Go do your homework. You’ll understand in the future.”

“Okay.” Both brothers, obedient to Chu Qingzhi, went to do their homework diligently.

In the hall on the second floor.

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao took out their homework and sat opposite each other.

Chu Xuyao, with a twinkle of intelligence in his eyes, mused, “Seventh brother, do you think Fifth Sister and Teacher Yan have reached some sort of understanding, which is why she didn’t accept the gift?”

Chu Xuyuan pondered, “It seems so, but what could it be?”

Chu Xuyao frowned in confusion, “That’s hard to guess.”

Chu Xuyuan interrupted, “Let’s not speculate further. We should focus on our studies and not disappoint everyone, understood?”

Chu Xuyao looked at Chu Xuyuan, sometimes envying his straightforwardness, “Let’s do our homework.”

Yan Yixian returned home, rummaged through his belongings, and eventually found several books he had used when studying for the imperial examinations.

He had made detailed notes on these books, which would be perfect for Xu

Yuan and Xu Yao’s studies.

The servant reminded him, “Master, be careful with your leg.”

“It’s fine.” Yan Yixian organized the books, decided to address the servant’s situation, “I no longer require care.”

The servant tensed up, his nose twitching, and asked cautiously, “Does Master plan to sell me?”

“Don’t misunderstand, that’s not my intention.” Seeing the young servant on the verge of tears, Yan Yixian hurriedly explained, “You’ve worked hard taking care of me. I want to thank you first. If you don’t wish to stay here, I’m willing to give you your freedom so you can find your own way.”

The servant quickly said, “Master, I won’t leave. I’m willing to take care of you forever.”

Having gained freedom but losing everything else didn’t appeal to him.

Yan Yixian, unlike other masters who abused their servants, treated him kindly, and he was content with such a life..

Chapter 760:1 Believe in Him

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Yixian, known for his soft heart, couldn’t resist the pitiful look of the servant and said, “If you choose to stay, you must do your duty well. I don’t tolerate people of bad character. Think it over.”

The servant knelt before Yan Yixian, “Master, please rest assured, I will fulfill my duties and do what needs to be done.”

Yan Yixian helped the servant up, “It’s just the two of us in this house, from now on, we’ll rely on each other.”

The servant joyfully replied, “Yes, Master.”

Yan Yixian said, “There’s not much to do now, help me clean out the east wing room. It will be used for Xu Yuan and Xu Yao’s studies.”

The servant crisply answered, “Yes, Master.”

Lu Yichen and Wu Yaqing spent the day enjoying various entertainments, including street performances, ancient temples, operas, and ended with dinner.

After dinner, Lu Yichen escorted Wu Yaqing back to Wu Wenyu’s place.

Outside the inn, Lu Yichen hugged Wu Yaqing, showing his reluctance to leave, “I’ll be setting off tomorrow. Once I’ve finished my tasks, I’ll come to Anhuai Country to find you.”

Wu Yaqing placed her princess token in Lu Yichen’s hand, “Make sure to come find me after you’re done. I’ll be waiting for you in Anhuai Country for the New Year.”

Lu Yichen smiled, a rare gesture for him, making his smile exceptionally bright, “Okay.”

Hearing their conversation, Wu Wenyu came out from the inn and pulled Wu Yaqing to her side, “You and our Yaqing are from two different worlds. Don’t think about taking her away.”

Then, dragging Wu Yaqing into the inn.

Forced to walk away, Wu Yaqing turned her face towards Lu Yichen, “Yichen, I’ll wait for you.”

Lu Yichen nodded to Wu Yaqing.

Wu Wenyu took Wu Yaqing into a room, then closed the door, advising, “Calm down a bit. Don’t let a moment of infatuation cloud your judgment.”

Actually, hearing Lu Yichen mention going to Anhuai Country himself to find the queen, Wu Wenyu’s opinion of him improved slightly. If he really did so, it would demonstrate his determination.

But her opinion only changed a little since Lu Yichen hadn’t acted yet. What if it was just lip service?

Wu Yaqing remained optimistic, sitting on the bed and swinging her legs confidently, “Aunt, Yichen will definitely come to Anhuai Country to find me.”

Wu Wenyu was frustrated, “What makes you so sure?”

Wu Yaqing said, “Yichen won’t promise what he can’t deliver. Once he says something, he will do it.”

Wu Wenyu countered, “Men’s words are deceiving.”

Wu Yaqing pleaded, “Aunt, don’t be so pessimistic. Also, why doesn’t my mother want me to be with Yichen?”

Wu Wenyu bluntly said, “Simply put, he’s not worthy of you.”

Thinking of what Chu Qingzhi told her, Wu Yaqing asked, “In what aspects specifically?”

Wu Wenyu, seeing Wu Yaqing’s eager face, decided to explain, “In terms of family background, he’s an orphan. In terms of status, he’s a killer who can’t show his face. In terms of character, he’s cold-hearted and ruthless, a mass murderer. He’s unsuitable in every aspect.”

Wu Yaqing couldn’t help saying, “Aunt, he’s not an orphan; he’s the son of a non-royal king.”

Wu Wenyu insisted, “His parents abandoned him; he’s an orphan.”

Wu Yaqing defended, “He didn’t choose that, it’s not his fault. You said he’s a killer, but he was forced into it, and he never killed the innocent. Those he killed deserved it.”

Wu Wenyu continued, “Okay, I admit that. But have you considered, if the princess of An Huai Country marries a disreputable killer, where would your mother’s face be?”

Wu Yaqing paused, then asked, “Is status that important?”

Wu Wenyu assured her, “Of course it is. If you don’t believe me, look at those mismatched marriages. How many are happy? Of course, there are exceptions, but most are not. How can you be sure you’ll be one of the lucky few?”

Wu Yaqing had no comeback, “Aunt…”

Wu Wenyu earnestly said, “Yaqing, your mother definitely won’t harm you. Listen to her more. Life only comes once. If you choose the wrong path, you might regret it for a lifetime.”

Wu Yaqing still believed in Lu Yichen, but she thought Wu Wenyu’s words also made sense. Besides, her mother had raised her so well and treated her so kindly. She couldn’t be so selfish.

“Aunt, let’s not argue anymore. Yichen couldn’t choose his past, but let’s see his actions in the future, okay?”

Seeing Wu Yaqing taking her advice, Wu Wenyu breathed a sigh of relief, “Okay, let’s make a bet. If Lu Yichen really goes to An Huai Kingdom to find you, your aunt will support you. If he doesn’t, don’t blame us for opposing.”

Wu Yaqing was utterly confident in Lu Yichen, “Deal.”

Wu Wenyu said, “If he turns out to be that responsible, then the other shortcomings might not matter so much.”

Wu Yaqing nodded, “I believe in him.”

Wu Wenyu touched Wu Yaqing’s head, feeling for the child she had watched grow up, “Your aunt also hopes you marry someone you love and who treats you well.”

Wu Yaqing hugged Wu Wenyu, “Yichen is that kind of person.”

Wu Wenyu patted Wu Yaqing’s back and said nothing more. By New Year, they would know what kind of man Lu Yichen was.

In Chu Village, at the workshop area.

Chu Qingzhi was making walnut crisps.

Li Qingyu and Xiao Chen had shelled all the walnuts, eaten some, and left plenty. Chu Qingzhi decided to use them all to make walnut crisps for Tang Jinghong to eat on the road.

Tang Jinghong was helping Chu Qingzhi. From time to time, he glanced at her, thinking to himself how Chu Qingzhi was becoming more versatile.

Suddenly, Shuang’er flew over and perched on the window, “Qingzhi, Qingzhi…”

Chu Qingzhi looked over, smiling, “Why are you here?”

Shuang’er raised its neck, “Just looking at you, looking at you…”

Tang Jinghong, watching Shuang’er, smiled, “Qingzhi, is it competing with me for you?”

Shuang’er quickly responded, “Mine, mine…”

Tang Jinghong laughed at Shuang’er’s antics, reaching out to grab it for a closer look. After a while, the black Shuang’er turned the same color as his skin. “Shuang’er can change color?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded, “It’s a chameleon parrot. It can hide well, making it hard for others to spot. It’s great for gathering intelligence.”

Tang Jinghong was amazed, “That’s perfect.”

Shuang’er flew towards Chu Qingzhi, pecking and eating the walnut crumbs that fell on the cutting board, chirping, “So fragrant, so fragrant…”

Tang Jinghong watched Shuang’er, “Does it understand what it’s saying?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chu Qingzhi explained, “Of course, Shuang’er’s intelligence is equivalent to that of a five or six-year-old child. You can imagine how smart it is by looking at children that age.”

Considering it has absorbed so much spiritual energy, its intelligence could even be as high as that of a six or seven-year-old child..
