Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When the girl in purple and the girl in pink saw them holding hands, the jealousy in their eyes became even stronger. However, when they thought of Chu Qingyue’s failure to become a disciple, they felt slightly better.

The girl in purple suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and smiled. “Sister, good morning!”

However, she was thinking that it would be great if she could snatch the man from Chu Qingyue. He was good-looking and looked quite rich.

Thinking of this, she pretended to be reserved and looked at Ning Yuting shyly.

“Sister.” When the girl in pink saw the girl in purple doing this, she also greeted Chu Qingyue pretentiously. Her eyes were glued to Ning Yuting.

Chu Qingyue felt nauseous when she saw the two of them like this. Her face turned cold. “What sister? According to seniority, you should call me Martial Aunt.”

The girl in purple and the girl in pink were stunned. Then, the girl in purple looked at Chu Qingyue disdainfully. “Chu Qingyue, what kind of joke is this? Martial Aunt? Are you dreaming?”

Chu Qingyue’s tone became tough, and the gentleness in her eyes turned cold. “Who’s joking with you? Your master is my senior sister, and I’m your martial aunt!”

Seeing that Chu Qingyue did not seem to be joking, the hearts of the two of them skipped a beat. Chu Qingyue had only acknowledged an old woman as her master. When did she become their martial aunt?

Wait, could that old woman be their master’s master?

This made the two of them feel uneasy. The girl in pink refused to believe it. “Chu Qingyue, don’t try to fool us. Who do you think you are?”

Chu Qingyue said calmly, “Why would 1 lie about this?”

At this moment, a servant girl walked out of the residence and came to Chu Qingyue. She said respectfully, “Miss, Old Madam wants you to go over immediately.”

Chu Qingyue immediately put on a smile. “I’ll go now.”

With that, she turned to look at Ning Yuting. “I’m going in to learn embroidery. Go home and rest.”

Ning Yuting nodded and said gently, “I’ll pick you up from the shop in the afternoon.”

Chu Qingyue felt a ripple spreading out in her heart. “Ok.”

Ning Yuting watched Chu Qingyue enter the Cloud Embroidery Workshop before turning to leave.

Chu Qingyue entered the Cloud Embroidery Workshop. Coincidentally, Luo Yinhuan walked over from the other side of the corridor.

Luo Yinhuan’s face was still covered by a veil, only revealing her eyes. However, her eyes were very gloomy and filled with hostility.

Chu Qingyue lowered her head and bowed. “Senior Sister.”

Luo Yinhuan said in an unfriendly tone, “Since you’re already a disciple, study hard. Don’t ruin our master’s reputation.”

“Yes.” Chu Qingyue felt aggrieved to be reprimanded for no reason. However, as a junior sister, it was not appropriate for her to talk back to her senior sister.

Luo Yinhuan retracted her gaze, intentionally bumped into Chu Qingyue’s shoulder, and walked away.

Chu Qingyue was knocked to the side and was very speechless. How did she offend this senior sister?

This scene happened to be seen by the young girl in purple and the young girl in pink.

Chu Qingyue was not lying. She was really their martial aunt!!!

Instantly, the two of them no longer dared to look at Chu Qingyue disrespectfully. Otherwise, with Chu Qingyue’s status, it was possible for her to chase them out.

Chu Qingyue glanced at the two of them from the corner of her eye. She smiled mockingly and left.

When Ning Yuting returned home, he went to talk to the four elders about the marriage.

His family had agreed. Now, it was up to the four elders of the Chu family. As long as they agreed and Qingyue agreed, they could start preparing the wedding.

Although Ning Yuting’s attitude was sincere, Li Qingyu was still worried. “Yuting, your family is from the capital. Our Qingyue grew up in the village and is not as knowledgeable as the girls in the city. Does your family mind?”

Ning Yuting said, “Auntie Chu, my parents are no longer around. Now, my Grandpa is in charge. Grandpa said that as long as I like Qingyue, he will support me.”

Li Qingyu was slightly relieved. “Yuting, your house is quite far from ours. If Qingyue marries over, she might not be able to come home for a long time…”

Ning Yuting immediately understood what Li Qingyu meant. “Auntie Chu, don’t worry. I won’t let Qingyue suffer, nor will I let her be bullied.”

He added, “My family is very simple. It’s just me and Grandpa. After Qingyue marries over, there will only be the three of us in the family.”

“Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and the others don’t live with us. We only gather during the holidays.”

Li Qingyu had heard of the complicated situations in the big families in the capital. For example, the big families in the capital were scheming against each other and fighting to the death. This was also one of her concerns.

Qingyue was an innocent-minded girl. If she married into such a family, it was hard to imagine what would happen to her. However, now that Yuting said that his family was simple, she was relieved.

“We don’t have any objections. We just don’t know what Qingyue thinks.”

Ning Yuting said, “1’11 ask Qingyue when 1 pick her up later.”

Li Qingyu nodded. “Okay.”

Actually, when they heard Ning Yuting mention proposing marriage to Qingyue, the four elders in the family felt relieved. Qingyue had already been hurt once. If she was disappointed again, she would be heart-broken.

At the back of the house.

Chu Qingzhi said, “Hongjun, Linjiang, I’m going out in two days. I don’t know when I’ll be back, so I’ll have to trouble you to teach my Fourth Sister medical skills.”

Chu Qingning hurriedly grabbed Chu Qingzhi’s hand and asked worriedly, “Fifth Sister, where are you going?”

“I’m going to settle some things with Jinghong. Don’t worry.” The less they knew, the safer they would be. Chu Qingzhi did not mention going to the northern border.

In Chu Qingning’s heart, Tang Jinghong had always been very mysterious. However, Tang Jinghong had previously revealed that he held a military position. Therefore, the matters they were going to settle were definitely serious. Chu Qingning did not ask further. “Fifth Sister, be careful.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and nodded. “I’ll be careful. 1’11 bring you a gift when I come back.”

Chu Qingning said reluctantly and worriedly, “There’s no need for a gift. Just come back as soon as possible. That’s the best gift you can give me.”

Chu Qingzhi said seriously, “Then I will bring you the best gift you want.”

Chu Qingning was amused. “Good girl.”

After hearing Chu Qingzhi’s words, Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang didn’t ask further. They knew that as long as it was related to Brother Tang, it would involve the government, so it was not appropriate for them to ask.

“Hongjun, Linjiang, the beer needs to be processed in eight days. I’ll write down how to do it on paper later.”

“Master, don’t worry. Leave it to us.”

Chu Qingzhi trusted her two little disciples. She nodded and said, “Thank you for your hard work..”
