The next morning.
A purple-red morning glow appeared in the distant sky, like a blooming red rose. It was beautiful.
Chu Qingyue went to open the courtyard door as usual. After breakfast, the villagers would come to work.
She had just woken up and was still a little sleepy. She stood in the courtyard and stretched before slowly walking to the door. She lifted the door latch and pushed the door open.
Then, she was stunned!
A refined and handsome man was standing at the door with a faint smile on his lips. He looked at her gently. “Qingyue.”
Perhaps it was because she missed him too much or because she was too excited, Chu Qingyue pounced over and hugged Ning Yuting without thinking.
Ning Yuting did not expect Chu Qingyue to hug him. He was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said gently, “Are you thinking the same as 1 do?”
When Chu Qingyue heard this, she immediately let go of Ning Yuting. Her face was as red as blood. She was happy and shy. She lowered her head and did not know how to answer. “1,1…”
Ning Yuting took out a pearl hairpin and put it on Chu Qingyue’s head. “It looks good on you.”
Chu Qingyue looked up. Her gentle eyes reflected Ning Yuting’s figure, and the suppressed affection burst out. “Yuting…”
Ning Yuting smiled. His smile was as warm as the spring breeze. “I set off in the middle of the night. I’m so hungry that 1 don’t have the strength to speak now.”
Chu Qingyue hurriedly said, “Come in quickly. I’ll fix you something to eat immediately.”
At this moment, Li Qingyu walked over. She was very surprised to see Ning Yuting. Then, she saw her daughter’s red face and an exquisite pearl hairpin in her hair. This made her realize something. She quickly said, “Yuting, come in quickly.”
Ning Yuting smiled and called out, “Auntie Chu.”
Li Qingyu’s heart ached. “Come in. You must be travel-worn. It’s been hard on you.”
Ning Yuting did not enter the house. Instead, he turned around to carry the box. He had brought a huge gift this time to thank the Chu family for taking care of him.
Li Qingyu looked at the heavy box. She was happy, but she was also worried that Ning Yuting might have spent too much money. She did not know what to say.
Ning Yuting placed the box on a stool in the central room.
The commotion had already woken up the Chu family. They all came to the central room.
When the elders saw Ning Yuting, they were so happy that their faces were filled with smiles.
If Ning Yuting wanted to thank them, he could have just sent someone to deliver the box over. There was no need for him to make a trip personally. Now that he came personally, it was naturally for Qingyue.
Everyone had seen the interaction between the two of them over the past few months. How could they not understand?
Ning Yuting opened the box. “There is a gift for everyone…”
He took out a small box from the box. Inside the box was a twenty-year-old ginseng. “Grandpa Chu, this is for you to nourish your body.”
When Grandpa Chu saw the ginseng, he felt that it was too expensive and quickly pushed it back into Ning Yuting’s hand. “I’m already so old. Using this good thing on me will be a waste of money.”
Ning Yuting felt that the Chu family was really honest. If it were anyone else, they would probably ask for more.
He placed the box back in Grandpa Chu’s hand. “Grandpa Chu, I still have a lot at home. Take it.”
Grandpa Chu felt that this gift was a hot potato, but he couldn’t decline no matter what. Hence, he took it and thought of adding it to Qingyue’s dowry in the future. “Thank you.”
Ning Yuting smiled and said, “Grandpa, you’re welcome.”
Granny Chu received a lingzhi, and it was also of excellent quality. Granny Chu smiled from ear to ear.
Ning Yuting handed the gifts to everyone one by one. Other than receiving a gift, Chu Qingzhi also received 3,000 taels of silver.
In addition, he did not know that there was a new member in the family called Li Zhangjie, so he gave him five taels of silver to buy things for himself.
To Li Zhangjie, this was simply a huge windfall. He had never had so much money in his life.
He was extremely excited. “Thank you, Young Master Ning.”
Ning Yuting gave him a friendly smile. “You’re welcome.”
After that, Li Qingyu asked Ning Yuting to rest for a while. She would cook and call him to eat when it was ready.
Ning Yuting did not refuse. He was indeed a little tired from traveling.
Chu Qingyue returned to her room and sat in front of the dressing table. She looked at the pearl hairpin on her head and could not help but smile. She was blushing, making her skin look like peach blossoms, looking like a young girl in love.
Chu Qingning, Chu Qingzhi, and Shen Ruyue walked in. When they saw Chu Qingyue looking in the mirror, they all smiled.
Chu Qingning teased, “Second Sister, how do you feel now?”
Chu Qingyue blushed like an apple and said coquettishly, “Don’t tease me.”
Shen Ruyue dragged out her voice and teased, “Qingyue, the pearl hairpin on your head is so beautiful. I’m so envious.”
Chu Xuhua happened to pass by the room outside and heard this. He stopped in his tracks, thinking to himself that it seemed like he had never given Ruyue a gift-
Chu Qingzhi walked over and placed her hands on Chu Qingyue’s shoulders.
She smiled and said, “Second Sister, you’re so beautiful today.”
Chu Qingyue turned around and looked at the three of them. Seeing their teasing expression, she was so embarrassed that she covered her face. “1 don’t want to talk to you anymore.”
The three of them laughed and were especially happy for Chu Qingyue.
After eating, Ning Yuting sent Chu Qingyue to the Cloud Embroidery Workshop.
Ning Yuting turned to look at Chu Qingyue and said in a low voice, “Qingyue, 1 haven’t congratulated you on becoming a disciple.”
Chu Qingyue smiled and said, “I didn’t become Luo Yinhuan’s disciple. Instead,
I became the disciple of Luo Yinhuan’s master. I’m lucky, right?”
Ning Yuting paused. “Huh? What happened?”
Chu Qingyue told Ning Yuting about the reason. “Actually, I have to thank those two people who set me up. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have met such a good master.”
Ning Yuting thought that Chu Qingyue was too kind. “Indeed, it was a blessing in disguise, but still, we can’t let them off.”
Chu Qingyue hurriedly said, “I know, but I’ll take my revenge slowly.”
Ning Yuting’s heart ached. “You’ve suffered.”
Chu Qingyue waved her hand. “It’s fine. The outcome is good anyway. From now on, it’s time for them to suffer.”
Ning Yuting nodded. “That’s right. 1 wonder how they will feel when they find out that you’re their martial aunt.”
Chu Qingyue smiled and said, “I’m curious too.”
As the two of them chatted, they arrived at the Cloud Embroidery Workshop. Coincidentally, the girl in purple and the girl in pink were walking over from opposite.
When the two of them saw such an outstanding man with Chu Qingyue, they instantly became jealous.
Chu Qingyue was more cautious now. When she saw that their gaze was on Ning Yuting, she knew what they were thinking.
Hence, she took the initiative to hold Ning Yuting’s finger and acted very intimately.
Ning Yuting took the initiative and held Chu Qingyue’s hand. It was very soft and warm. He could not bear to let it go.
Chu Qingyue blushed again. She just wanted to put on a show. She was not ready yet to hold hands with a man on the street..
