Li Qingyu said, “Chu Rong, I’ve discussed the betrothal gifts for Ruyue with

Qingzhi. Take Xuhua to buy the betrothal gifts tomorrow.”

Chu Rong nodded. “I know.”

“For an outstanding girl like Ruyue to be willing to marry Xuhua, our Xuhua is really lucky.” Li Qingyu liked Shen Ruyue very much. She was smart and capable, not arrogant at all. She was very polite to everyone.

She selectively forgot about Shen Ruyue’s fierce side when she was working in the workshop.

When Shen Ruyue was working, she was no-nonsense.

Chu Rong said, “1 think so too. In the future, let’s treat Ruyue better. We can’t beat and scold our daughter-in-law like next door and cause our son and daughter-in-law to divorce.”

“My daughter-in-law is also my daughter. I can’t bear to hurt her.” Li Qingyu had never thought of scolding her daughter-in-law and putting up the air of a mother-in-law.

In her heart, it was not easy for her son to get a wife. The last time Fan Jiayao broke off the engagement, it not only dealt a blow to Chu Xuhua, but also to her.

Chu Rong nodded.

Chu Qingyue came out of Chu Qingzhi’s room and saw Ning Yuting sitting in the hall. She quickly walked over. “Yuting, why aren’t you sleeping yet?”

Ning Yuting stood up and handed Chu Qingyue a bottle of medicine. He said with concern, “This is the medicine I asked Hongjun for. Take it and apply it on your face.”

The marks on Chu Qingyue’s face were already very faint. It was basically impossible to notice. There was no need to apply medicine.

She didn’t want to reject Ning Yuting’s good intentions, so she took the medicine. “Go to sleep. I’ll apply it later.”

Ning Yuting was a little shy like a young boy. “Ok.”

Chu Qingyue watched Ning Yuting leave. After Ning Yuting went downstairs, she leaned against the window and looked at him. The smile on her face did not fade. It was rare to meet a man who cared so much about her. She would cherish him.

Ning Yuting returned to the old house with light footsteps. Coincidentally, Chu Xuhua was also back from sending his cousin and auntie back. “Brother, I can’t sleep. Do you want to drink some beer?”

“Sure.” Chu Xujin walked out of the house and answered first.

Li Zhangjie said enthusiastically, “1’11 get you guys some beer.”

Chu Xuhua found a short square table and placed it in the courtyard. He also took out some peanuts, walnuts, and red dates. Everyone brought out the stools and sat around the table.

Li Zhangjie poured beer for everyone. “You guys drink. I’ll pour the beer for you.”

Chu Xuhua patted Li Zhangjie’s shoulder. “Sit and drink with us.”

Li Zhangjie smiled and nodded. “Okay.”

The Chu family did not treat him as a servant. Everyone treated him very well.

Moreover, he had already saved up 20 taels of silver and some valuable gifts in just three to four months.

When he thought of this, he was extremely glad about his decision to come back then.

Chu Xujin ate a red date and glanced at the two of them. He asked curiously, “Brother, Brother Yuting, you’re getting married. How do you feel?”

Chu Xuhua and Ning Yuting looked at each other and smiled. Ning Yuting said, “I’m a little nervous.”

Chu Xujin was puzzled. “Why are you nervous? Shouldn’t you be happy?”

Chu Xuhua drank a bowl of beer and said after some thought, “I’m happy, but I’m also nervous.”

Chu Xujin looked like he wanted to know more.

Chu Xuhua couldn’t quite explain it. “You’ll know what it’s like when you get married in the future.”

Ning Yuting poured another bowl of beer for Chu Xuhua. Then, he raised the bowl and clinked it with Chu Xuhua’s. “Brother, drink.”

Chu Xujin looked at Chu Xuhua, then at Ning Yuting with a puzzled expression.

Chu Xuhua and Ning Yuting seemed to have reached a tacit understanding. They drank bowl after bowl, and Chu Xujin and Li Zhangjie became foils.

The Xu Village.

In the room, Li Qingyin handed the medicine bowl to Xu Wenlin and said gently, “Wenlin, come, drink the medicine.”

Xu Wenlin frowned. In the end, she pinched her nose and drank the bitter medicine in one gulp. “Mother, this medicine tastes terrible.”

Li Qingyin gently tapped Xu Wenlin’s forehead. “Stop complaining. Your fifth cousin personally made it for you. You have to thank her in the future.”

Xu Wenlin said seriously, “Mother, I know. Fifth Cousin saved my life. I’ll remember her kindness for the rest of my life.”

Li Qingyin smiled and said, “Good girl.”

Xu Songnian walked over. “Mother, Sister, the bath water is ready.”

Li Qingyin looked at her sensible son and smiled. “Go shower first. 1’11 help your sister shower later.”

“I’ll take a shower later.” Xu Songnian walked towards Li Qingyin. “Mother, shall we go and buy ducklings tomorrow?”

Chu Qingzhi told them that she needed a large number of salted duck eggs. They could raise ducks to lay eggs and marinate them to sell to her.

Now that there were no duck eggs, they could buy from others and marinate them before selling them to Chu Qingzhi.

Li Qingyin touched her son’s face. “I’ll clean up the pond first. Then, I’ll find someone to build a shed. After that, we’ll buy ducklings when we’re ready. Don’t be anxious.”

Xu Songnian thought for a moment and nodded. “That’s true. Mother, I’ll help you.”

Li Qingyin said, “You don’t have to help. You and your sister just have to go and take care of the bamboo forest. Your fifth cousin said that the rice dumpling business needs to expand and they are very short of bamboo leaves.”

Xu Songnian said obediently, “Yes, Mother.”

In the Chu Village.

Chu Qingzhi stood alone by the window and looked at Tianhe Peak in the distance in a daze. The cool night wind blew gently on her face. The wind chimes let out a soft crisp sound, which was very pleasant to the ears.

She missed Tang Jinghong…

She had been busy during the day, but now that she was alone, she could not help but miss him.

After a while, she raised her finger and condensed a ball of light on her fingertip. She drew a golden-feathered phoenix in midair… It was her mount in the cultivation world and was now in the Immortal World.

She said to the golden-feathered phoenix, “Jinghong, what are you doing now?”

Then, with a light wave of her finger, the golden-feathered phoenix disappeared into the void and flew towards Tang Jinghong.

After a while, Chu Qingzhi added, “Jinghong, speak to the golden-feathered phoenix directly. It will bring your words to me.”

Tang Jinghong was now in the study of the general’s residence. He had just instructed the secret guards to collect evidence of Si Yingzong’s superior’s crimes and find Si Yingzong’s nephew. Just as he sat down and took a sip of water, he saw a golden light in the air. Out of void, a mighty and domineering golden-feathered phoenix flew out.

The golden-feathered phoenix was the size of an eagle, which shocked him.

The golden-feathered phoenix suddenly spoke. “Jinghong, what are you doing now?”

“Jinghong, speak to the golden-feathered phoenix directly. It will bring your words to me.”

Hearing this familiar voice, Tang Jinghong couldn’t help but smile.. Other than Qingzhi, who else had such an ability?
