Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Qingzhi was helpless and could only tell the truth.

Tang Jinghong held his forehead with his hand. He was rather speechless and extremely angry at the same time. If this rumor spread, Qingzhi’s reputation would be ruined. Even if he married Qingzhi, it couldn’t save her. “Fortunately, no one knew it. Otherwise…” He did not dare to imagine further. “Qingzhi, no matter what happens in the future, you have to tell me first.”

Chu Qingzhi tilted her head slightly and asked with her eyes… Why should I tell you first?

Tang Jinghong’s gaze met Chu Qingzhi’s. After understanding what she meant, he quickly looked away and said awkwardly, “Because we’re friends.”

Chu Qingzhi’s lips curled up slightly as she looked at Tang Jinghong. “I’ve handled this matter.”

Was Tang Jinghong interested in her?

When she was in the cultivation world, she also wanted to find a Dao companion, but one thing dissuaded her from doing so.

She had a good friend who was the daughter of a sect master of a large sect. Her cultivation was very high.

One day, she found a Dao companion. The two of them were a match made in heaven and they complemented each other. After getting together, they already felt like an immortal couple before they became immortals.

However, one day, a rumor spread that the man had an affair and fell in love with a demoness.

The demoness wanted her good friend’s Golden Core. That man actually lured her good friend to a powerful array to kill her good friend and gave the Golden Core to the demoness.

She didn’t believe it at first, but after asking around, she confirmed that it was true.

After that incident, she gave up on finding a Dao companion and became loner. Perhaps she had made the right decision, which was why she had the chance to reach the Immortal Realm later.

However, it was also because of this decision that she lacked the seven emotions and six desires. She needed to experience the love tribulation to reach perfection.

However, although she had never experienced love, it didn’t mean she was completely ignorant of it. The way Tang Jinghong treated her didn’t seem like a friend.

Tang Jinghong felt like he had been seen through by Chu Qingzhi’s eyes. “Since it’s handled, I’ll leave first.”

After saying that, he left quickly without waiting for Chu Qingzhi’s reply, looking like he was escaping from something.

Chu Qingzhi raised her eyebrows. This guy… It seemed that her intuition was right.

She retracted her gaze and asked the two hooligans, “How is it?”

Chu Laipi said with a wretched expression, “When Rong Yupeng went missing, Madam Rong immediately went to report it to the authorities. Just like that, Rong Yupeng’s disappearance quickly spread throughout the county. We secretly spread the rumor that we saw a few men take Rong Yupeng away. Now, 50% of the people in the county are talking about Rong Yupeng being taken away by men.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “Good, continue tomorrow.”

Chu Laipi and Chu Peipei replied, “Yes.”

Chu Qingzhi went home happily.

As soon as she got home, she went into her room, took out a pen and paper, and began to draw up a plan to make 200,000 rice dumplings. If it was properly planned, it was destined to fail.

At the military camp.

After Tang Jinghong returned to the military camp, the strange feeling in his heart slowly dissipated.

He called his trusted aide who was good at gathering information and instructed, “Go and investigate Rong Yupeng. I want to know everything about him tomorrow morning.”

The trusted aide cupped his fists. “Yes, General.”

Tang Jinghong’s slender fingers tapped the table lightly, and a layer of coldness appeared in his sharp eyes.

In the central room.

After eating their fills, the Li family sat there and chatted as if they were at home.

The Chu family was busy washing the dishes, sweeping the floor, feeding the horses, cleaning the shed, and even the two young ones were helping with the work…

After the two little ones finished their work, they hid in the room and whispered as they wrote their homework.

Chu Xuyuan said bluntly, “Xuyao, 1 don’t like Grandma Zheng’s family.”

Chu Xuyao frowned and echoed, “Seventh Brother, 1 don’t like them either. They act like they are the masters. They don’t even help us when they see how busy we are.”

Chu Xuyuan suddenly became excited. “The thing is that they eat so much of our food. Look at the way they eat. It’s as if they’ve starved for a few days.”

Chu Xuyao made a shushing gesture. “Seventh Brother, keep your voice down. Don’t let them hear you.”

Chu Xuyuan was unhappy. “Xuyao, they don’t seem like they want to leave. I’m afraid we’ll have to sleep on the floor tonight.”

Chu Xuyao looked like he was in deep thought. “If only there was a way to make them leave.”

Just as he was thinking this, the door was pushed open. The two of them were shocked.

The person who pushed the door open was Li Qingwu’s fifth daughter, Li Hongfeng. She was ten years old. She looked at Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao’s room as if she was looking at her own room. Then, she walked in. “1’11 sleep here tonight.”

Chu Xuyuan said unhappily, “If you sleep here, where should we sleep?”

Li Feng said matter-of-factly, “Go and sleep on the floor. I’m a girl and a guest. I can’t sleep outside, right?”

Chu Xuyuan was angry. “You’re so shameless.”

Li Hongfeng acted as if she did not hear him and sat by the bed. She even picked up Chu Xuyuan’s homework and looked at it. “Hey, what does this say?”

“Give it back to me.” Chu Xuyuan reached out to snatch it. Li Hongfeng dodged, and then he heard a ripping sound as the paper that he had written his homework on was torn in half.

Li Hongfeng pursed her lips and threw the paper in her hand to Chu Xuyuan. “You can’t blame me. You snatched it and tore it yourself.” With that, she walked out of the room guiltily.

Chu Xuyuan picked up the other half of the paper that had fallen to the ground. His heart ached. “Li Hongfeng is so annoying!”

He looked at the homework and was really angry. He stormed out of the room with the homework. “Li Hongfeng!!”

In the central room.

Li Hongfeng sat beside her mother as if nothing had happened.

Chu Xuyuan ran to her and said angrily, “You ruined my homework and didn’t even say a word of apology.”

Li Hongfeng tilted her head to the side and pretended not to see him.

Cao Zhilan naturally protected her daughter. “Chu Seventh, it’s just a piece of paper. Do you have to be so angry?”

“Just a piece of paper?” Chu Xuyuan retorted, “This is my homework that I wrote for two hours.”

Cao Zhilan was very jealous that Li Qingyu sent her sons to school. When she saw that Chu Xuyuan’s homework was ruined, she gloated.

She said casually, “Can’t you just write another one? If you wrote another one instead of arguing with us, you would’ve already finished it.”

When Chu Xuyuan heard Cao Zhilan’s words, he was so angry that he shouted, “Second Aunt, you don’t care at all because your daughter is not the one who wrote it, right?”

Cao Zhilan pursed her lips. “You’re being too serious. Chu Seventh, Hongfeng didn’t do it intentionally. What’s the use of holding on to it like this?”

Chu Xuyuan was agitated. He pointed at Li Hongfeng and said, “Then apologize!”

Li Hongfeng glanced at Chu Xuyuan and pushed the blame away. “You tore it because you came to snatch it. What does it have to do with me?”

Chu Xuyuan was furious. “You’re too unreasonable!”

Li Qingwu felt that it was not a big deal and said, “Chu Seventh, your cousin didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t hold it against her. You’re a scholar now. You can’t be so petty.”

Chu Xuyuan glared at Li Qingwu.. “Who’s petty?”
