“The past is in the past, don’t think about it anymore. I don’t mind, I just feel sorry for you,” Ning Yuting said after a pause. “Let me tell you about my past, okay?”

He thought with some self-derision that he too was someone who had been abandoned. What right did he have to judge Qingyue?

Fortunately, this misfortune led him to meet Qingyue, a girl with whom he could open his heart.

“You have a past too?” Chu Qingyue was a bit surprised, but then she thought about it. Ning Yuting was already twenty-one, from a wealthy family, and people of his age and status often married early.

Ning Yuting looked down at Chu Qingyue’s curious face and smiled with empathy. “I’m not much better than you…”

Holding Chu Qingyue, he slowly recounted his past.

After listening, Chu Qingyue wrapped her arms around Ning Yuting’s waist, holding him tightly. “Yuting, let’s be good to each other from now on.”

“Okay,” Ning Yuting kissed Chu Qingyue’s forehead. “I’ve decided, once we’re married, I’ll take you traveling. We’ll see the mountains and rivers, and journey through thousands of miles.”

Chu Qingyue couldn’t help but look forward to it. “Where will we go first?”

Ning Yuting said, “We’ll head south first. It’s like spring all year round there, with beautiful scenery. There’s a lot of delicious food, fun places, and beautiful clothes, jewelry, and accessories. Whatever you like, I’ll buy it for you.”

Chu Qingyue joked, “That will cost you a fortune.”

Ning Yuting caressed Chu Qingyue’s head, sincerely saying, “You’re my wife.

The money is meant to be spent on you.”

Chu Qingyue’s heart melted with sweetness. She smiled, “What if we run out of money?”

Ning Yuting confidently said, “If we run out, I’ll earn more. It’s no big deal.”

Chu Qingyue kissed Ning Yuting’s lips, gazing at him with seriousness in her eyes. “Yuting, thank you for being in my life, for not letting me lose hope for the future.”

“I want to say the same,” Ning Yuting’s heart stirred, and he bent down to kiss Chu Qingyue’s lips.

Shuiyun County.

After being tormented all day, Tao Yuansong, along with a group of cronies, left his residence after dinner and a short nap.

“Chu Qingzhi, if I can’t hold a food festival, then neither can you!”

“At most, we’ll fight to the death!”

One of the cronies, feeling uneasy, asked, “Young master, what are you planning?”

“What am I planning?” Tao Yuansong said angrily. “Of course, to destroy Guangxi Garden and Chu Qingzhi’s plan.”

“But she’s so powerful. What if she retaliates after we destroy her things?”

“In this pitch darkness, how would she know it was us?”

“That makes sense!” the crony asked excitedly. “So, young master, how do you plan to deal with Chu Qingzhi?”

Tao Yuansong said viciously, “Set fire to it. Burn down Guangxi Garden.”

“Right, burn it to the ground. That won’t leave any evidence.”

Imagining Chu Qingzhi’s expression upon seeing the burnt-down venue the next day, Tao Yuansong and his cronies couldn’t help but feel thrilled.

However…

Suddenly, one of the cronies noticed something and whispered, “Young master, look, there are so many beggars sleeping around Guangxi Garden!”

Tao Yuansong looked over under the moonlight. It seemed that all the beggars in the county had come here. The door and even the outer wall were surrounded by the beggars.

“Retreat, retreat!”

They immediately retreated into the dark alleys.

“What now, young master?”

Tao Yuansong thought for a moment, “Let’s go to the back door.”

As they approached Guangxi Garden’s back door…

“Woof, woof…” A pack of stray dogs rushed towards Tao Yuansong and his group.

The back door of Guangxi Garden was home to all the stray dogs in the county, about twenty in total, including a large and intimidating wolf-dog.

“Run…” Tao Yuansong turned pale with fear and ran, his cronies following suit, sprinting away.

“Woof, woof…” The dogs chased them.

However, the stray dogs did not bite. They were just scaring those people.

Chu Qingzhi had arranged for the dogs to be there, instructing them not to bite.

She was worried that Tao Yuansong would hate the stray dog after being bitten. This way, he would definitely take revenge. At that time, the stray dogs in the county would be in danger.

After running through three streets, the dogs stopped chasing and returned.

Tao Yuansong ran home with his cronies before stopping. When he was chased just now, he was so frightened that he almost fainted.

Blocked by beggars and chased by stray dogs, Tao Yuansong had the worst luck.

After such a long run, he was too tired to do anything else and fell asleep as soon as he got home.

The next day, Tao Yuansong fell ill, too weak to get out of bed for several days, only recovering after the food festival had ended.

Yunfei School.

Jiang Zhaoyong made significant progress in his studies after receiving advice from Chu Qingzhi.

He could now recite ten poems and five songs, and had begun to learn the guqin.

One morning, he sat in a pavilion by the lake, with a guqin on the table. He plucked the strings, producing rough but correct notes.

Within a ten-meter radius of him, no insects, birds, fish, or people could be seen, all driven away by his music.

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao approached, frowning.

Chu Xuyao complained, “What are you playing? It sounds terrible.”

Jiang Zhaoyong stopped playing and looked at the two boys. “As if you could play any better!”

“We don’t have time to argue with you, but we could easily outdo you,” Chu Xuyao said defiantly, placing an apple pie on the table. “This is from our fourth sister for you.”

The apple pie, wrapped in oil paper and decorated with a small red flower, looked quite delicate.

Hearing that it was from Chu Qingning, Jiang Zhaoyong’s mood instantly brightened. “Thank you.”

Chu Xuyao, still holding a grudge against Jiang Zhaoyong, warned, “If you don’t improve your guqin skills, don’t bother our fourth sister.”

Jiang Zhaoyong narrowed his eyes. This little fellow still hated him so much. “What if I do?”

Chu Xuyao threatened, “Then I’ll become the biggest obstacle in your love life!”

Jiang Zhaoyong gave him a thumbs up. “You’re ruthless!”

Chu Xuyao snorted and walked away.

Chu Xuyuan looked sympathetically at Jiang Zhaoyong. Dealing with his protective and vengeful little brother could be tough.

Jiang Zhaoyong waved at Chu Xuyuan. “Hurry up and go to the morning class.”

Chu Xuyuan turned around and chased after Chu Xuyao..
