Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Qingzhi gave up her seat to Chu Xuhua. “You guys chat. I’ll go out and take a look.” This Zhang Ziyang probably wouldn’t stop just like that. She had to get rid of this troublemaker.

Chu Xuhua quickly asked with concern, “Fifth Sister, are you going to do something? Do you want me to do it for you?”

Chu Qingzhi said honestly, “There are still some things I don’t quite understand, so I need to ask that girl again.”

Chu Xuhua was worried. “I’ll go with you.”

Chu Qingzhi pressed Chu Xuhua onto the stool. “Brother, stay with Ruyue. 1 can handle it alone.”

Shen Ruyue looked at Chu Qingzhi and advised, “Xuhua, there’s nothing that Qingzhi can’t solve. Don’t worry and let Qingzhi go.”

Chu Xuhua hesitated for a moment before agreeing. “Fifth Sister, come back early.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and nodded. “Okay.”

The carriage was already driving towards the village entrance. Chu Qingzhi flew into the carriage through the curtain.

Xue Ying felt a gust of wind, and there was another person in the carriage. She was shocked and trembled. “You…”

Chu Qingzhi sized up Xue Ying and went straight to the point. “I don’t understand. Why are you helping Zhang Ziyang?”

Xue Ying was experienced and quickly calmed down. “He promised to give me five hundred taels of silver.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “As a former courtesan, 500 taels of silver shouldn’t be enough to tempt you, right?”

Xue Ying looked at Chu Qingzhi’s bright eyes and suddenly felt that she had been seen through. She could not help but feel fluttered. “Then, Miss, what do you think people like me want other than money?”

Chu Qingzhi pointed at Xue Ying’s stomach and said slowly, “Your child.”

As a courtesan, being able to manage to keep her child in the brothel, she was quite capable.

Xue Ying’s heart tightened. “Miss Chu, this is none of your business.”

“It’s originally none of my business, but you harmed my brother, so it’s my business. Whether you were forced or not, the harm has already been done.”

The lazy tone in Chu Qingzhi’s voice made Xue Ying even more nervous. Her heart raced and she desperately wanted to stay away from Chu Qingzhi. “Zhang Ziyang promised to buy my freedom.”

Chu Qingzhi glanced at Xue Ying. The latter immediately tensed up and did not even dare to move. “There you go. It’s easier to talk if we’re honest with each other.”

Xue Ying did not dare to look at Chu Qingzhi. She looked ahead and asked, “What do you mean?”

“I just want to ask you a few questions. Don’t be nervous.” Chu Qingzhi’s tone was neither fast nor slow, but it gave people a lot of pressure.

“Ask away.” Xue Ying swallowed her saliva and tried her best to calm down. She thought to herself, “She’s clearly just a little girl. Why is she so oppressive?” “What’s Zhang Ziyang’s weakness?” Zhang Ziyang had to be dealt with. Otherwise, her brother and Ruyue definitely wouldn’t have a peaceful life.

Xue Ying did not dare to not cooperate. After thinking for a moment, she said, “He likes to visit brothels. He came to the brothel the day after his wedding. He’s a frequent customer of the brothel.”

Chu Qingzhi was deep in thought. A moment later, she flew out of the carriage.

Xue Ying was shocked again. This girl came and went without a trace. How high was her martial arts?

If she wanted to kill her, it should be effortless…

At the thought of this, her face turned pale, and a thin layer of sweat immediately broke out.

If not for the fact that she had a child, Chu Qingzhi would probably not show mercy.

Not long after lunch, a matchmaker came to the Chu Village and went straight to find Li Qingyu.

Li Qingyu was very happy to see the matchmaker. Chu Xujin and Chu Qingning had yet to find a match. Once their marriage was settled, she could rest in peace.

“Sister Xu, please sit and drink tea.” Li Qingyu placed a cup of tea on the tea table beside Matchmaker Xu.

Tea was usually used to entertain important guests. When Matchmaker Xu smelled the fragrance of the tea, she thought to herself that being able to offer such good tea to visitors, this family must be rich.

“Sister Qingyu, sit down too. Let’s talk slowly.”

Li Qingyu sat down with a smile. “Sister Xu, if you have something to say, just say it. We’re all straightforward people. There’s no need to beat around the bush.”

When Matchmaker Xu heard this, she laughed a few times. “Sister Qingyu, it’s like this. My Xu Village has a very good family. The family has two sons. The eldest son is not particularly smart, but the second son is a genius. He took the Young Scholar Examination at the age of 16 and is about to take the Provincial Imperial Examination.”

“That day, when his mother passed by the Chu Village, she saw your fourth daughter. She thought that your daughter and her son were of the same age and looked very compatible, so she asked me to talk to you about this.”

“Sister Qingyu, your fourth daughter isn’t engaged yet, right?”

“Not yet.” Li Qingyu was extremely happy to hear that. If he could really pass the Provincial Imperial Examination, his future would be limitless.

“Sister Qingyu, what do you think?” Matchmaker Xu’s smile widened, believing that this marriage should be no problem.

“There’s no hurry. Let me consider it for two days before replying to you. Sister Xu, what do you think?” Li Qingyu wanted to agree, but she still wanted to hear Chu Qingning’s opinion. Her eldest son, second daughter, and fifth daughter had all chosen the people they liked, so she also wanted to give her fourth daughter the freedom to choose.

Matchmaker Xu’s smile was a little forced. She did not understand what Li Qingyu was considering. “Sister Qingyu, there are many matchmakers going to that family to talk about marriage. If you are still hesitating, it’ll be too late.”

“Sister Xu, leave that to fate. If they choose another family, it means that my daughter and their son are not fated.”

This was the first time Matchmaker Xu had encountered such a situation. If it were anyone else, they would probably agree immediately when they heard such a good young man. “Sister Qingyu, alright. I’ll come back in two days.”

Li Qingyu sent Matchmaker Xu out of the house.

Matchmaker Xu walked for a while and turned around to look at Li Qingyu’s house. The envy in her eyes was almost tangible.

In the living room on the second floor, Chu Qingzhi was explaining some difficult medicinal theories to Chu Qingning, Yuan Hongjun, and Bao Linjiang.

Chu Qingning had improved a lot and worked very, very hard. She stayed up until midnight. Now, not only had she finished reading three thick books on pharmacology, but she could also memorize most of them. Her memory was very good, similar to Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao.

With a foundation in pharmacology, she could start learning new things. Now, she was learning how to take pulses.

Chu Qingzhi’s voice echoed in the living room. “A normal person’s pulsation is four to five times in three seconds. It’s calm, gentle, and fluent. It’s neither too strong nor too weak. A normal pulse reflects the abundance of Qi and blood in the body. The functions of the organs are more vigorous. The balance of Yin and Yang is a healthy state.. And it’s a sign of good health…”
