nChapter 33

nXu Wanrong asked tentatively, “Qingzhi, where did you get the ice?”

nChu Qingzhi lied through her teeth. “When I was wandering on the mountain, I bumped into a divine stone. That stone could freeze the water within a meter of it, so I thought of making ice cream bars.”

nDivine Stone?

nXu Wanrong and Sang Wanlu were stunned.

nXu Wanrong reminded, “Since it’s a treasure, don’t let others know. Be careful not to get stolen.”

nChu Qingzhi smiled and nodded. “I know.”

nSang Wanlu’s eyes lit up. “I want to see it for myself.”

nChu Qingzhi said generously, “If you’re interested, I’ll bring you to take a look later. Let’s get down to business now.”

nXu Wanrong said in surprise, “You know that we’re here to ask you help?”

nChu Qingzhi thought to herself. It was so obvious that anyone could tell. “The fact that you brought your cousin along means that you needed my help.”

nXu Wanrong said with admiration in her eyes, “Qingzhi, you’re right. I really have something to ask of you. Cousin, you tell her.”

nSang Wanlu nodded with a sad expression. “Qingzhi, my cousin said that you’re a Divine Doctor and helped her treat her face. I came with the intention of giving it a try. I want you to help me take a look at my stomach.” Towards the end, she was a little embarrassed.

nChu Qingzhi looked down at Sang Wanlu’s stomach. “Your stomach?”

nSang Wanlu said in a low voice, “I’ve been married for half a year, but there is no movement in my stomach yet. If this continues, I…”

nChu Qingzhi understood. “Give me your hand. I’ll take your pulse.” Actually, she could already tell that something was wrong.

nSang Wanlu looked at Chu Qingzhi nervously, afraid that she would not be able to diagnose anything.

nChu Qingzhi retracted her hand and said seriously, “There’s nothing wrong with your body. The one with a problem is your husband. You should get your husband to see a doctor.”

nSang Wanlu suddenly raised her head. When a married couple didn’t have a child, the first one people pointed their finger at would always be the woman. “Qingzhi, is what you said true?”

nChu Qingzhi said firmly, “Really. If you don’t believe me, you can call your husband over. I’ll take a look at him.”

nSang Wanlu slowly relaxed. A glint flashed across her eyes. “Qingzhi, thank you. I understand.”

nChu Qingzhi comforted her. “Cousin, we’re all women. I understand you.”

nSang Wanlu’s beautiful eyes lit up and her expression relaxed. “Qingzhi, I’ll bring my husband over tomorrow.”

nChu Qingzhi nodded. “Okay.”

n…

nWhen the sun was setting in the west, the Chu family carried the ice cream bar onto the cart one by one and prepared to sell it in the city.

nXu Wanrong and Sang Wanlu followed.

nThis scene shocked the villagers. How did the Chu family know these rich people?

nHowever, no one gossiped about Chu Qingzhi. Chu Qingzhi had just found a water source for them. If they angered Chu Qingzhi, they would be in trouble.

nThey arrived at the county smoothly.

nTo Chu Qingzhi’s surprise, there were many people waiting at the place where she sold the ice cream bar yesterday.

nWhen those people saw Chu Qingzhi and the others, their eyes lit up.

nChu Xuhua quickly pushed the cart over. Not only did they make 1,000 orange ice cream bars today, but they also made 1,000 sugar ice cream bars. It was definitely enough.

nChu Qingzhi shouted, “Everyone, prepare the money. The orange ice cream bar is still ten copper coins, and the sugar ice cream bar is five copper coins.”

nEveryone consciously queued up, very interested in this new ice cream bar.

n“Two orange ice cream bars, please.”

n“Five sugar ice cream bars, please.”

n“One orange ice cream bar and one sugar ice cream bar.”

nIn an instant, Chu Qingzhi, Chu Xuhua, Chu Qingyue, and Chu Third got busy.

nXu Wanrong and Sang Wanlu parked the carriage at the side. They planned to see how their business was doing. If it was not good, they would think of a way to help. They did not expect the business to be surprisingly good.

nThe two of them were relieved and decided to leave.

nXu Wanrong got out of the carriage and went to say goodbye to Chu Qingzhi. However, she saw an unexpected person walking over and was stunned on the spot.

nRong Yupeng, who was holding a folding fan, led a young man over. “Brother, that’s the surprise I gave you.”

nRong Yufan was not all that convinced. He had traveled extensively and had seen many things. Now, very few things were worthy of his attention. “If you disappoint me, 100 taels of silver will be gone.”

nRong Yupeng vowed, “Brother, don’t worry. I won’t disappoint you.”

nSeeing that Rong Yupeng was so confident, Rong Yufan could not help but feel a little curious. He looked up at the crowded stall and became even more curious.

nHe looked at the ice cream bar in those people’s hands and thought to himself that he had indeed never seen this thing before. “Yupeng, what are they holding?”

nRong Yupeng opened his fan with a whoosh and said smugly, “Ice cream bar. You can actually eat ice.”

nRong Yufan’s eyes widened in shock. “Ice?”

nRong Yupeng lowered his voice and said, “I’ve tried that ice cream bar before. It’s especially delicious. If you buy it from those rich families, it’ll cost at least 50 copper coins.”

nRong Yufan’s interest was instantly piqued. In his opinion, ice was like gold.

nThe brothers’ eyes were all glued to the stall and they did not see Xu Wanrong standing at the side.

nXu Wanrong wanted to greet Rong Yupeng, but the insulting words Rong Yupeng said to her appeared in her mind uncontrollably. Her heart slowly turned cold, and she lost the interest to approach and greet him.

nRong Yufan queued up and bought two ice cream bars. He put it in his mouth and tasted it. It was indeed ice and made of pure orange juice. It was delicious.

nBefore he could react, he had already finished two ice cream bars. He secretly made up his mind to do a business with Chu Qingzhi.

nSang Wanlu was waiting for Xu Wanrong in the carriage. Seeing that Xu Wanrong did not come back after a long time, she lifted the curtain and happened to see Rong Yupeng. Her heart sank. Her cousin liked Rong Yupeng so much. Now that her face had recovered, would she stick to the fiancé who broke off the engagement again?

nSang Wanlu quickly got out of the carriage to remind Xu Wanrong that it was time to go back.

nHer appearance immediately attracted Rong Yupeng’s attention. Then, he saw the beautiful Xu Wanrong.

nWas Xu Wanrong’s face healed?

nHis gaze was fixed on Xu Wanrong’s face. Xu Wanrong looked pretty now. If he had known that her face could heal, he would not have broken off the engagement.

nSang Wanlu walked over and blocked Rong Yupeng’s vision. “We’ve been out for so long. Your parents must be worried.”

nXu Wanrong suppressed her mixed feelings and nodded. “Let’s go back, cousin.”

nRong Yupeng quickly stepped forward to stop Xu Wanrong. “Xu Wanrong, who treated your face?”

nXu Wanrong replied coldly, “I met a Divine Doctor who cured me.”

nRong Yupeng was filled with doubts. “Divine Doctor? I grew up in the county. Why haven’t I heard of any Divine Doctor?”
