Ning Yuting looked at Chu Qingzhi’s blushed face and was in a very good mood. Well cook when you’re feeling better. There’s no rush.”
Chu Qingyue felt sweet inside, leaning her head against Ning Yuting’s chest, softly murmuring in agreement.
After spending some time together, Ning Yuting said, “Qingyue, about the trip down south I mentioned before, would you like to go?”
Chu Qingyue sat up straight, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, “Are we really going south?”
Ning Yuting chuckled softly, “Yes, it’s true. Everything I’ve told you is true.”
Chu Qingyue nodded, her smile tender, “I would like to go.”
Ning Yuting gently pinched Chu Qingyue’s cheek, smiling, “Then I’ll make arrangements right away. Well set off three days after your return to your parents’ home.”
Chu Qingyue blinked, feeling both surprised and happy, “But Yuting, I’ve only made arrangements of my clothing shop and weaving workshop for half a month…”
“Hl have someone manage them. Don’t worry about it.”
“Thank you, Yuting.”
Ning Yuting softly said, “I am your husband, and your matters are mine. I will handle everything for you.”
Chu Qingyue smiled sweetly, “Then thank you, husband.”
After a moment’s hesitation, Chu Qingyue said, “Yuting, Ning Shuangshuang was here just now.”
Ning Yuting’s brow furrowed, “What did she want?”
“She came to apologize.” Chu Qingyue was puzzled, “Why would she suddenly apologize to me?”
She didn’t believe that marrying Yuting would make Ning Shuangshuang accept her.
Ning Yuting’s expression softened, “I sent her a warning letter. She must have been scared and came to apologize.”
“Oh, I see.”
Ning Yuting smiled at Chu Qingyue, “Don’t worry about her. She’s already married and doesn’t have much influence in the Ning family.”
Chu Qingyue nodded. “Then I’ll pretend she doesn’t exist.”
At the Qin Ya Pavilion.
Ning Shuangshuang walked into the courtyard with a look of grievance, “Mother.”
Her mother, Fang Yuying, was Ning Yuting’s second uncle’s official wife. She was arranging flowers when Ning Shuangshuang suddenly walked in, startling her and almost causing her to cut her hand.
Fang Yuying looked up at her disappointing daughter and frowned, “What’s wrong?”
Ning Shuangshuang exaggeratedly relayed the incident of Ning Yuting’s warning letter and her apology to Chu Qingyue, portraying herself as a victim of everyone’s bullying.
“Mom, why is our eldest cousin turning his back on his own family? I am his cousin, yet he’s not protecting me. Why is he so protective of an outsider?”
Ning Shuangshuang was full of indignation, harboring a mountain of grievances.
Fang Yuying appeared much calmer, “Shuangshuang, you’re married now. Why are you still so childish? You need to learn to be more composed.”
Ning Shuangshuang complained, “Is that all you have to say, Mother? Your daughter is being wronged, and you’re not going to do anything?”
“What can I do? Ning Yuting just married Chu Qingyue. He’s in the honeymoon phase. Whoever makes Chu Qingyue unhappy now will make Ning Yuting unhappy. If we want to deal with Chu Qingyue, we need a long-term plan,” Fang Yuying said, her eyes flashing with a dark light.
Ning Shuangshuang blinked, “Mother, do you have a plan?”
Fang Yuying picked up the scissors again and trimmed the flowers. At the same time, she said meaningfully, “Just wait and see.”
Ning Shuangshuang, understanding her mother’s implication, suddenly smiled.
At the Chu Residence.
At the entrance gate, Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingning were carrying bags of medicinal herbs back home. Coincidentally, Chu Qingyan also returned with bags of medicinal herbs.
The guards approached them and took the bags of herbs from the three sisters’ hands. “Where should we put these, young ladies?”
Chu Qingzhi said, “Put them in the courtyard where I live.”
“Yes.”
The three sisters walked towards the mansion together, and Chu Qingyan asked curiously, “Fourth sister, fifth sister, why did you buy so many medicinal herbs?”
Chu Qingning replied, “Myself and fifth sister are planning to research a cream that can remove the stretch marks on the stomach and help resolve various problems for the noble ladies.”
Chu Qingyan raised three question marks in her head, “Marks on the stomach? I don’t have any marks.” She patted her smooth and flawless belly.
Chu Qingning chuckled, “You’ll have it when you grow up and get married.”
Chu Qingyan, now curious, looked at her two sisters with a desire for knowledge. “What kind of marks are those, and why do I have to get married to know about them?”
Chu Qingning touched Chu Qingyan’s head and was about to tactfully tell Chu Qingyan not to ask, but Chu Qingzhi said, “Tell her. It’s not bad for a girl to know earlier.”
Chu Qingning thought about it and realized that there was indeed no harm in it. Hence, she put her arm around Chu Qingyan’s shoulder and whispered to her.
The young girl widened her eyes after hearing it. “Oh my, it can happen like that?”
Chu Qingning advised, “Don’t go around telling everyone about it, just keep it to yourself, or people might tease you, okay?”
Chu Qingyan was still quite surprised but nodded, “I understand.”
As they entered the courtyard, Chu Qingning looked at the other two bags of medicinal herbs and asked, “Qingyan, why did you buy so many medicinal herbs?”
“I want to try making a freckle-removing cream myself. Sister Yuru told me that someone has already placed an order, and they ordered two boxes. They are in urgent need of it.”
Chu Qingzhi opened the bags and checked if the herbs were correct, “Do you remember the production process?”
“I remembered it from when I learned it before, and I also took notes, so I’m very clear about it.”
In that case, there was nothing to worry about. Chu Qingzhi said, “Then you can start. If you encounter any problems, we can discuss them together.”
Chu Qingyan nodded confidently, “Alright.”
The three sisters soon began working in the medicinal room that Chu Qingzhi had set up.
After a couple of hours, a knocking sound came from the door, followed by the voice of Tang Jinghong, “Qingzhi, are you inside?”
“I’m here.” Chu Qingzhi opened the door and led Tang Jinghong to the courtyard. “What’s the matter?”
Jang Jinghong could smell the herbal fragrance on Chu Qingzhi and felt invigorated. “I’d like to order a batch of wound-healing medicine and a batch of life-saving pills.”
“The wound-healing medicine is not a problem, but the life-saving pills require Snow Lotus as one of the ingredients, and I don’t have it in stock.”
“In that case, 1’11 place an order for the wound-healing medicine first. I’ll have my subordinates search for Snow Lotus, and if we find it, I’ll have it delivered to you before placing the order.”
“Sure.”
Tang Jinghong gently held Chu Qingzhi’s hand and with some regret, he said, “I have some business to attend to in the coming weeks, so I won’t be able to visit you frequently. I’ll have Nanny Han come and take care of you, is that okay?”
Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Alright, it just so happens that I’m short of people here.” “Alright, I’ll go back and inform her.” Tang Jinghong still held Chu Qingzhi’s hand, reluctant to let go. “If you want to eat anything, just ask Nanny Han to make it for you. She’s been studying various dishes and wants to cook for you. Don’t be polite with her.”
Chu Qingzhi smiled. “I won’t stand on ceremony..”
