Chu Qingzhi raised her eyebrows and followed.
She turned, turned again, crossed a stream, and then there was a “woof” sound…
Chu Qingzhi did not stop and flew towards the voice.
It was a lush bush of fern. Under the fern was a nest that looked like a chicken nest. Beside the nest lay a dead female wolf, and in the nest were three hungry wolf cubs.
The wolf cubs were all white and looked very similar to dogs. However, their mouths were slightly longer and more aggressive.
Chu Qingzhi reached out her index finger and tapped the foreheads of the three wolf cubs. Then, she cast a spell on the dead female wolf and buried it.
After that, she grabbed the three wolf cubs one by one and placed them on her arm before flying out of the forest.
Her luck was not bad. She found three wolf cubs.
An Shanwu was stunned when he saw Chu Qingzhi walking out with three wolf cubs.
Wolves lived in packs and were the most protective of their cubs. How did she take away the wolf cubs?
He could not help but take another look at Chu Qingzhi. She did not look injured at all. Instead, she was calm and composed. This girl… was not simple.
“Miss Chu, this wolf cubs…”
Chu Qingzhi said casually, “1 picked them up in the forest.”
Then, Chu Qingzhi walked away under the admiring gazes of everyone.
Wu Yaqing was playing on the swing. When she saw Chu Qingzhi carrying the wolf cubs home, she immediately ran over excitedly. “Ah!! Qingzhi, where did you pick up so many puppies?”
Chu Qingzhi glanced at her. “Yaqing, have you seen a wolf?”
“Yes, but…” Wu Yaqing reacted and shouted excitedly, “All!!! Qingzhi, are you holding wolf cubs?”
These words attracted the attention of everyone around. Qingzhi was really bold. She even dared to take away wolf cubs. However, Qingzhi knew martial arts, so taking away a few wolf cubs shouldn’t be a problem.
Yes, the villagers had a blind faith in Chu Qingzhi now. No matter what unexpected things she did, everyone felt that it was normal.
Li Qingyu looked around and pointed at the empty chicken coop in the corner. “Qingzhi, put them in the nest.”
“Okay.” Chu Qingzhi walked over and placed the three wolf cubs in the chicken coop. As soon as she put them down, they started to whimper.
A villager asked, “Are you hungry?”
“I think so,” a villager said quickly. “Qingzhi, wait a moment. I’ll go home and squeeze some goat milk to feed them.”
Chu Qingzhi thanked her. “Auntie, thank you.”
The auntie waved her hand and walked out of the courtyard. “You’re welcome.”
Chu Qingzhi waved at Xu Songnian, who was standing at the door. “Songgnian, come here.”
Xu Songnian hurriedly ran over. “Fifth Cousin.” He looked up respectfully.
Chu Qingzhi pointed at the wolf cubs. “Feed them later. When they can live without milk, take one home to guard the house. No one will dare to cause trouble at your house in the future.”
Xu Songnian’s eyes lit up, filled with gratitude. “Thank you, Fifth Cousin.”
Chu Qingzhi patted Xu Songnian’s shoulder. “You must take good care of the wolf cub. You can’t abuse it, understand?”
Xu Songnian hurriedly said, “Fifth Cousin, 1 can’t wait to like it. Why would I abuse it?”
Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Good.”
The auntie quickly brought the goat milk over. “Qingzhi, it’s still warm. Feed it.”
Xu Songnian took the bowl. “Thank you, Aunt. Fifth Cousin asked me to feed the wolf cubs.”
“Then be careful.”
“I know.”
Xu Songnian placed the bowl on the ground, then carried the three wolf cubs out and placed them beside the bowl.
The three wolf cubs smelled the milk. They were probably starving. They stuck their heads out and drank it in a hurry.
At this moment, Shen Ruyue walked over. Her fair face was as red as a peach blossom in March. She said shyly, “Qingzhi, 1 have good news for you.”
Chu Qingzhi looked over and asked curiously, “What good news?”
Shen Ruyue whispered shyly, “Xuhua is going to propose to me.”
A trace of surprise flashed across Chu Qingzhi’s eyes. She smiled and asked, “Why did my brother suddenly become enlightened?”
Shen Ruyue pointed in the direction of the old house. “Just now, Zhang Ziyang said that he would take me away. Then, Xuhua…”
Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Looks like my brother just needed a push.”
Shen Ruyue didn’t know whether to agree or disagree…
Chu Qingzhi suddenly said seriously, “I’ll definitely urge my brother to prepare the betrothal gifts well and not let my sister-in-law suffer.”
Shen Ruyue pouted. “We’re not married yet.”
Chu Qingzhi smiled. “It’s only a matter of time.”
Shen Ruyue’s face turned even redder. She stomped her feet and ran away shyly.
Chu Qingzhi looked at Shen Ruyue’s back and laughed. She looked cuter when she was shy.
Zhang residence.
Zhang Ziyang pushed the door open and entered the room in exasperation, slamming the door. “I won’t let Chu Xuhua off. I definitely won’t!”
Lu Tianlan followed him into the room. “Young Master, we can’t act rashly.”
Zhang Ziyang was indignant. “Shen Ruyue is so beautiful. How can I let a boor have her? Only 1 am worthy of Ruyue.”
Lu Tianlan didn’t think so. In fact, she felt that Chu Xuhua was not bad. He was protective of Ruyue and looked quite responsible. Moreover, Chu Xuhua had a powerful sister who was personally conferred as a baroness by the emperor. Even the county magistrate respected her. They weren’t just a farmers’ family.
As a servant girl, if she could marry into such a family and become the main wife, she would also be willing.
However, she wouldn’t say this. “Young Master, since Ruyue already has someone in her heart, why don’t you just give up?”
“Give up?” Zhang Ziyang sneered, “That’s impossible. Ruyue can only marry me. Only I am worthy of her.”
Normal girls would not be willing to be a concubine. Moreover, it seemed that Chu Xuhua’s family was not bad either. “Young Master, you’re already married.”
However, Zhang Ziyang felt that it was normal for a man to have multiple concubines. Moreover, he misinterpreted his unwillingness to give up on Shen Ruyan as a sign of his deep affection. “So what if I’m married? I’ll dote on her if she becomes my concubine.”
Lu Tianlan couldn’t stand it anymore.
“Young Master, do you really like Ruyue?”
Zhang Ziyang said without hesitation, “Of course. If I don’t like her, will I look for her? If I don’t like her, why do i want to bring her back?”
“Young Master, what do you plan to do next then?”
Zhang Ziyang clenched his fists and said hatefully, “As long as Chu Xuhua is gone, Shen Ruyue will be mine.”
Lu Tianlan’s heart skipped a beat.. “Young Master, are you going to kill Chu Xuhua?”
