At the county office.
Ever since Ge Lihua, the cold beauty, came to the county office, she was like a white crane mixed in with the chickens and immediately became the center of attention.
There were many unmarried bachelors in the county office. When they saw Ge Lihua, their eyes lit up. It would be great if they could marry such a beautiful and capable girl.
However, everyone’s enthusiasm was immediately extinguished when they faced Ge Lihua.
Ge Lihua was top-notch in terms of looks, temperament, knowledge, and martial arts. The ten of them combined could not compare to her.
Every time they faced Ge Lihua, everyone could not help but feel inferior.
At this moment, Ge Lihua was teaching the constables how to fight on the training field behind the county office…
When the county magistrate heard that it was very exciting, he brought his secretary over to take a look.
“Nice move!” The constables applauded.
The head constable was exchanging moves with Ge Lihua barehanded. After more than ten moves, Ge Lihua bent down and dodged the head constable’s back kick. She did it elegantly, causing everyone to cheer.
Chu Xujin could not take his eyes off her. His heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to break out of his chest.
The county magistrate could not help but clap. “This girl’s body is so supple. If a man does this, I’m afraid his back will break.”
The secretary smiled and said, “Sir, you’ve recruited a talent.”
The county magistrate stroked his beard and smiled. “She’s indeed a talent.”
When Ge Lihua saw the two of them, she ended the spar and flew over.
After landing, she cupped her fists at the county magistrate. “Sir, I have something to ask of you.”
The county magistrate smiled and nodded. “What is it?”
Ge Lihua said bluntly, “Sir, I want the exam question of the past ten Young Scholar Examination.”
The county magistrate paused. “Someone in your family wants to take the Young Scholar Examination?”
Ge Lihua nodded. “Yes.”
This was not a big deal. Anyone with some ability could get it. The county magistrate said, “I can give it to you, but you can’t spread it. Miss Ge, do you understand what I mean?”
Ge Lihua cupped her hands. “Thank you, my lord. I understand.”
The county magistrate said to the secretary, “Get someone to copy it and give it to Miss Ge.”
The secretary replied, “Yes, my lord.”
Chu Xujin listened to their conversation and liked Ge Lihua even more. He did not expect Lihua to care so much about his family.
In fact, Ge Lihua just wanted to repay the Chu family for taking care of her. She had lost her family, so this kind of care without asking for anything in return was rare and precious in her heart.
At the General’s residence in the capital.
Tang Jinghong put on his official uniform and was about to enter the palace when an eagle suddenly flew in from the window and landed on the table in his room.
Tang Jinghong did not have a servant or servant girl. He did most of the things on his own. There was no one else in the room except him.
He looked at the eagle and immediately saw the three bottles of medicine on its back…
“Qingzhi’s execution is too impressive. She actually made so many medicines in one night.”
He walked over to take off the medicine bottles, and his cold face instantly softened. “Qingzhi…”
He reached out and patted the eagle’s head. “I’ll go get you something to eat. Wait for a while. I’ll have to ask you to help me bring something back for Qingzhi in the afternoon.”
The eagle screeched twice…
Tang Jinghong walked over to open the door. “Follow me.”
The eagle flapped its wings and really flew away behind Tang Jinghong.
Tang Jinghong brought the eagle to the kitchen. There was a new chicken bought by the servants. He chopped it up and placed it in the basin before bringing it to the eagle.
The eagle immediately wolfed down the food with relish.
When the servants in the kitchen saw this scene, their eyes widened.
“General, where did this eagle come from?”
“It flew here on its own. If it comes to the kitchen in the future, give it something to eat.”
“Yes, General.”
Tang Jinghong touched the eagle’s head, his eyes filled with love.

A servant girl walked towards Luo Yinhuan. “Miss, someone is looking for you outside.”
Luo Yinhuan thought that it was someone here to discuss business, so she said, “Go and invite that person into the living room. Serve tea. I’ll be right there.”
The servant girl bowed. “Yes, Miss.”
What awaited her was not a business talk…
Luo Yinhuan walked into the living room and saw a refined young master in a white robe. The man had distinct facial features and a handsome face. “You are?”
The man’s eyes were cold as he sized up Luo Yinhuan. He did not beat around the bush at all. “I’m Chu Qingyue’s fiance, Ning Yuting. You slapped her yesterday. I’m here today to ask you to apologize to her!”
Luo Yinhuan’s expression changed drastically. It was very ugly. “Do you think you are something just because you’re Chu Qingyue’s fiance? Do I have to apologize just because you asked me to?”
“I’m not here to discuss.” Ning Yuting’s attitude was cold. “Luo Yinhuan, you were carried out from somewhere 19 years ago…”
At this point, he suddenly paused for a moment before continuing, “Do you know that the daughter of an official slave is still an official slave?”
Luo Yinhuan could not help but stagger. The color on her face quickly faded, and she was extremely flustered. “W-What nonsense are you talking about?!”
Ning Yuting’s voice was neither fast nor slow, but it contained a hint of threat. “I’ll give you five minutes. Apologize to Qingyue immediately. Otherwise, someone will definitely come looking for you.”
Luo Yinhuan glared at Ning Yuting. The hatred and anger in her eyes could tear Ning Yuting apart if they were knives.
Ning Yuting sat there calmly, patiently waiting for Luo Yinhuan to submit.
Luo Yinhuan was a smart person. After calming down a little, she quickly analyzed the pros and cons. She suppressed her strong anger and gritted her teeth. “1’11 apologize.”
Ning Yuting looked at Luo Yinhuan and said, “You’re a smart person. I hope that you won’t cause trouble for Qingyue in the future. It’s best if we stay out of each other’s way. I’ll keep this secret forever.”
Luo Yinhuan flicked her sleeves and walked out. “This better be the case.
Otherwise, 1 don’t mind perishing together with you.”
Ning Yuting glanced at Luo Yinhuan and suddenly had an idea.
In the corridor, Chu Qingyue looked at Luo Yinhuan, who was apologizing to her, and thought to herself, Did Luo Yinhuan’s head get hit by a hammer?
Luo Yinhuan saw the look in Chu Qingyue’s eyes and clenched her fists even tighter. “Chu Qingyue, it’s my fault for hitting you. I was too impulsive that day. I won’t do it again.”
Chu Qingyue was not that innocent anymore. She had hit her. Even if she apologized, it wouldn’t change the fact that she had hit her. She looked at Luo Yinhuan without any emotions. “Since you’ve apologized, the grudge between us will be written off. However, in the future, let’s have nothing to do with each other.”
Luo Yinhuan hoped so too. “Okay..”
