nTranslator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
nAt this moment, a man pushed through the crowd and came to Fan Jiayao. Fie looked at the blood under her with pain in his eyes.
n“Flurry up and take her to the doctor. Perhaps the child can still be saved.”
n“Yes, she just fell. Flurry up. Don’t just stand there.”
nFan Jiayao gripped her dress tightly, her forehead covered in sweat. “Husband, it hurts, it hurts…”
nThe man immediately carried Fan Jiayao and left.
nBefore Fan Jiayao left, she glanced at Chu Xuhua and Shen Ruyue, and a trace of crazy hatred flashed in her eyes.
nShen Ruyue was worried about Chu Xuhua and did not have time to care about Fan Jiayao for the time being. “Xuhua, wait for me here. I’ll go find Qingzhi.”
n“Don’t go. Let Qingzhi spend more time with Jinghong. It won’t kill me to bear the pain a little longer.” The two of them were having a lovers’ time. He didn’t want to ruin it.
n“Ruyue, can you help me home?”
nShen Ruyue hesitated. “Alright, let’s go back first.”
nThey returned to the Chu Village.
nAt the pitch-pot stall.
nChu Qingshuang tugged at Chu Eighth, who was engrossed in the game. “Eighth Sister, let’s go find Father and Mother, ok?”
nChu Eighth was reluctant to leave. The pitch-pot was too fun. “Sixth Sister, let me play another round.”
nChu Qingshuang doted on her sister and hesitated for a moment before agreeing. “Alright.”
nChu Eighth cheered. “Sixth Sister is the best.”
nLi Shaoting, who was passing by, saw Chu Qingshuang and his eyes lit up. He quickly walked over. “Junior Sister, what a coincidence.”
nChu Qingshuang was also very happy to see Li Shaoting. She waved and greeted, “Third Brother.”
nLi Shaoting was still a teenager. Fie was 15 or 16 years old and was very tall. He walked up to Chu Qingshuang. “Why aren’t you playing?”
nChu Qingshuang smiled and said, “I’m not very into playing the pitch-pot.”
nLi Shaoting paused for a moment and mustered his courage to say, “Junior Sister, actually, I’ve been looking for you.”
nChu Qingshuang blinked. “Why are you looking for me?”
nLi Shaoting handed a box to Chu Qingshuang. “This is for you for the Dragon Boat Festival. I hope you like it.”
nChu Qingshuang looked down at the exquisite box. “Isn’t this too expensive?”
nLi Shaoting grabbed Chu Qingshuang’s hand and placed the gift box in her hand. “My junior sister is naturally worthy of the most expensive things.”
nChu Qingshuang lowered her head, and a hint of shyness flashed across her fair face. “Third Brother, thank you.”
nLi Shaoting smiled. “You’re welcome.”
nAfter the fireworks ended, Tang Jinghong flew to the shore with Chu Qingzhi. The two of them found a place with fewer people and rested for a while before walking out to stroll. Otherwise, they would be surrounded wherever they went.
nChu Qingzhi shook Tang Jinghong’s hand. “Jinghong, what do you like the most?”
nTang Jinghong said without thinking, “You!”
nChu Qingzhi smiled helplessly and said, “I’m asking you what things do you like?”
nTang Jinghong thought for a moment, then slowly said, “Other than you, I like my spear and bow the most.”
nChu Qingzhi suddenly stopped on her track. “Then 1’11 go to the military camp another day and help you modify your weapons.”
nTang Jinghong was pleasantly surprised. “You know about weapons?”
n1 also know how to refine weapons… Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Kind of.”
nTang Jinghong’s tone was filled with anticipation. “When will you come?”
nChu Qingzhi bit her lip and thought about what would happen in the next few days. “I’m not sure, but I’ll tell you before 1 go.”
nTang Jinghong nodded. “Alright.”
nAt this moment, the two of them walked to the riverbank. Ripples appeared on the river surface, reflecting the bright full moon in the sky.
nSuddenly, a white figure fell into the river about a meter away from Chu Qingzhi…
n“All, Miss—” A servant girl screamed.
nWith Chu Qingzhi’s style of doing things, she would definitely save the falling figure.
nHer body moved nimbly, bringing with it a cold wind. Then, she reached out and grabbed the falling figure, bringing her back to the shore.
nThe servant girl quickly came over. She was still in shock. “Miss, are you alright?”
nThe lady stroked her rapidly beating heart. “I’m fine.” Then, she turned to Chu Qingzhi. “I’m Tan Xueqing. Thank you for saving me.”
nChu Qingzhi sized up the girl in front of her. She was tall and thin, and her chest was flat. She was wearing a white dress with snow-white lotus flowers embroidered on it, exuding the aura of a young lady from a wealthy family.
nChu Qingzhi’s eyes narrowed slightly. This girl was not a simple girl. She was probably a transvestite. “It’s nothing. You’re welcome.”
nTan Xueqing asked politely, “May 1 know your name? So that I can send you gifts to express my gratitude.”
n“Chu Qingzhi from the Chu Village.” Chu Qingzhi’s eyes were filled with curiosity. Why would any man disguise as a woman in ancient times? Wasn’t he afraid of being laughed at?
nWhen Tan Xueqing met Chu Qingzhi’s gaze, she felt as if she had been seen through. She panicked and hurriedly avoided her gaze. “Miss Chu, I’ve been frightened today. I’ll take my leave and visit you another day.”
nChu Qingzhi smiled. “Miss, take care.”
nAfter the girl left, Chu Qingzhi turned around to look at Tang Jinghong. She saw that he was deep in thought. “What are you thinking about?”
nTang Jinghong frowned slightly. “I think that girl is a little strange. Forget it, it’s none of our business. Let’s go.”
nChu Qingzhi leaned closer to Tang Jinghong and whispered, “That girl isn’t a girl.”
nTang Jinghong was stunned. “Qingzhi, what do you mean?”
nChu Qingzhi looked at Tang Jinghong’s shocked expression and could roughly guess what he was thinking. “It means what it literally means. Flaha.” With that, she walked forward.
nTang Jinghong looked at Chu Qingzhi’s back and sighed. Qingzhi was really omniscient!
nThe hustle and bustle in the county returned to normal as the crowd gradually dispersed.
nChu Qingzhi’s family returned home one after another.
nBecause Chu Eighth was playful, she and Chu Qingshuang were the last to return.
n“Junior Sister, you live here?” Li Shaoting insisted on sending Chu Qingshuang and Chu Eighth to the entrance of the Chu Village.
n“Yes, my house is over there not far away. Third Brother, thank you for sending me back.” Chu Qingshuang looked at Li Shaoting happily. Li Shaoting had always been very good to her, just like her family.
nWhen Li Shaoting found out about where Chu Qingshuang lived, he felt that their relationship had progressed. He couldn’t help but be happy. “Junior Sister, come to the porcelain shop early tomorrow. I’ll bring you food.”
nChu Qingshuang nodded. “Ok, Third Brother.”
nLi Shaoting’s eyes were smiling. “Flurry up and go home. I’m going back too. If I’m any later, my mother will nag at me.”
nChu Qingshuang smiled. “Okay.”
nThen, she brought Chu Eighth back home.
nLi Shaoting waved at Chu Qingshuang. After he couldn’t see Chu Qingshuang and Chu Eighth’s backs, he turned around and left..
