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?”

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?”

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..”
