Zhang Ziyang’s face was dark as he snorted. “Why would 1 kill him? It’s more fun to torture him.”
Lu Tianlan looked at Zhang Ziyang’s expression and felt inexplicably terrified. “Young Master, what exactly do you want to do?”
Zhang Ziyang glanced at Lu Tianlan coldly. “You’ll know when it’s time for you to know.”
Lu Tianlan did not dare to ask again. “Then I’ll leave first.”
Zhang Ziyang waved his hand. “Go.”
Shuiyun County.
Ning Yuting lifted the curtain of the carriage and showed it to Grandpa Ning. “Grandpa, don’t you think Shuiyun County is good?”
Grandpa Ning smiled and nodded. “The people live in harmony. It’s indeed not bad.”
The carriage kept moving forward until it reached the entrance of the Pure and Gentle Women’s Clothing Shop.
Ning Yuting pointed at the shop on the street and said, “Grandpa, this is the shop opened by Qingyue. It specializes in making dresses for girls. 1 want to pick her up and go back together.”
Grandpa Ning smiled at his grandson. “You are talking about Qingyue nonstop from the capital to here.”
Ning Yuting said, “Grandpa, didn’t you always teach me that a good man is a man who loves his wife?”
Grandpa Ning smiled. “Alright, alright, alright. I’ll go with you and take a look at my granddaughter-in-law’s shop.”
Ning Yuting got out of the carriage first and helped Grandpa Ning down. After hesitating for a moment, Ning Yuting whispered, “Grandpa, Qingyue is timid. Don’t say anything to scare her.”
Grandpa Ning glanced at Ning Yuting with a dark gaze. “Wait here. I’ll go in alone.”
Ning Yuting was unwilling. “Grandpa.”
Grandpa Ning insisted, “Wait here.”
Ning Yuting agreed helplessly. “Grandpa, don’t let me wait for too long.”
Grandpa Ning ignored Ning Yuting and walked in with his hands behind his back.
The moment he entered, he attracted a lot of attention…
The people coming and going here were all girls. This was the first time an old man had come in. The assistant hurriedly went in to report to Chu Qingyue.
Chu Qingyue also found it strange when she heard that and immediately came out of the inner room.
The old man looked to be in his fifties or sixties. He was dressed in top-notch clothes and had the temperament of a minister. One look and one could tell that he was not an ordinary person.
However, Chu Qingyue treated all the customers equally. As she sized up Grandpa Ning, she walked up to him. “Sir, our shop sells dresses from girls…”
Grandpa Ning sized up Chu Qingyue. Chu Qingyue was wearing a moon-colored dress. Her skin was fair and glowing. Her eyes were gentle and graceful, and her voice was soft. She was quite likable.
“Are you Chu Qingyue?”
Chu Qingyue looked a little stunned. “Sir, you know me?”
“I’ll tell you later…” Grandpa Ning glanced at the shop. It was clean and tidy. The clothes were displayed in an orderly manner.
The young lady was polite and didn’t give off an impression of a snob. She dressed up simply and looked like a good girl.
“Good, good…”
Then he walked out.
Chu Qingyue was confused. What was going on?
“Qingyue!” Ning Yuting walked in quickly. As he walked, his green and white clothes fluttered, making him look very heroic.
When Chu Qingyue saw Ning Yuting, she couldn’t care less and quickly walked towards him. “Yuting.”
As soon as Ning Yuting approached Chu Qingyue, his gaze immediately darkened. He asked with heartache, “What’s that on your face?”
Chu Qingyue subconsciously covered half of her face that had been slapped in the morning. Although the swelling had subsided, there were still some red marks. It was not obvious when she was standing in the shades just now, but now that she was standing in the sunlight, those marks stood out from her tender face.
Ning Yuting was a little anxious. He asked again, “Qingyue, don’t hide anything. Tell me the truth.”
Chu Qingyue did not want to hide it. Fifth Sister had said that husband and wife should be honest with each other.
Sometimes, even if you felt that hiding a certain thing would do good to the other party, in reality, it might hurt them.
“Today at Cloud Embroidery Workshop, my Senior Sister and Master had a quarrel, so I wanted to mediate between them. However, I didn’t expect Senior Sister’s temper to be worse than I imagined. Before 1 could say anything, she slapped me…”
Previously, she did not feel aggrieved, but in front of the person she loved, she revealed her weak side. After Chu Qingyue said this, her eyes turned slightly red.
Ning Yuting’s heart ached. He took out a handkerchief and wiped Chu Qingyue’s eyes. “Don’t cry. I won’t let you suffer for nothing.”
Hearing this, Chu Qingyue suddenly became strong again. “It’s fine. I won’t care about them anymore. 1’11 just take this as a lesson.”
Ning Yuting gently caressed Chu Qingyue’s face with his fingers, his eyes filled with pity. “What if she hits you again?”
Chu Qingyue smiled and said, “I don’t owe her anything. If she dares to hit me again, I’ll hit her too.”
Ning Yuting was amused. “I support you. Hit her as hard as you can. With me around, I won’t let anyone bully you.”
Chu Qingyue laughed. “If you beat her to death, you’ll go to jail.”
Ning Yuting said very naturally, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll go to jail for you.”
“We don’t do things that violate the law, but we can teach her a lesson.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Ning Yuting pulled Chu Qingzhi out of the shop. “Qingyue, let me introduce someone to you.”
Chu Qingyue was curious. “Who is it?”
“You’ll know when you come out.” Ning Yuting pulled Chu Qingyue to the front of the carriage. Then, Chu Qingyue was stunned. “Isn’t this…”
Ning Yuting introduced, “Qingyue, he’s my grandfather.”
Chu Qingyue hurriedly bowed. “Greetings, Old Master Ning.”
Grandpa Ning had a good impression of the girl in front of him. He said, “You’re too polite. Just call me Grandpa.”
Chu Qingyue was a little embarrassed. “Could it be…”
Ning Yuting smiled and said, “Grandpa likes you very much. He already treats you as his granddaughter-in-law. It’s fine to call him Grandpa.”
Chu Qingyue blushed. After thinking for a while, she called out softly, “Grandpa.”
“Good girl.” Grandpa Ning laughed heartily.
“Yuting, help Grandpa into the carriage. It’s getting late. I’ll close the shop and go back with you.”
“Okay.”
In the Chu Village.
Under everyone’s tireless efforts, the foundation of the beer workshop was already built.
Chu Qingzhi was supervising at the side. When the sun was about to set, she asked everyone to get off work.
An Shanwu and Nie Huiyang walked back on the road as usual. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on their backs, as if they were carrying fruits from a harvest.
“Huiyang, Sister Ruyue is getting married,” An Shanwu suddenly said.
Nie Huiyang was pleasantly surprised. “Really?”
“Sister Ruyue told me herself. You went to relieve yourself, so you didn’t hear it. She asked me to tell you.” An Shanwu smiled. His little sister was finally going to have a family.
“That’s a good thing. She’s marrying Chu Xuhua, right?” Nie Huiyang said, “Chu Xuhua is quite responsible and reliable. Sister Ruyue will definitely be happy if she marries him.”
“I think so too. I’ll go to the jewelry shop in the county later and buy some jewelry to add to the dowry for Sister Ruyue,” An Shanwu said happily.
“Alright, I’m going with,” Nie Huiyang said with a hearty smile..
