Chu Qingzhi walked over. “You’re all Tao Pengnan’s family. You should split his assets and leave to start your life over.”

A lady asked Chu Qingzhi, “Miss, we don’t want to leave. If we split the assets, can we continue to live in this house?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Of course. You’re all his family. There’s no reason for family members to not be able to stay when the head of the family is dead. If you don’t want to leave, stay for as long as you want.”

Ge Lihua looked at Chu Qingzhi with admiration. If it were her, she wouldn’t be able to say that with confidence.

When the girls heard Chu Qingzhi’s confident tone, they believed her for no reason. They calmed down and bowed to her in unison. “Thank you, Miss.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Everyone, go back and rest first. I’ll give you an explanation after the case is settled. During this period, don’t leave the mansion casually.”

“Yes, we’ll listen to you.” The group of girls bowed and left.

Chu Qingzhi left the rest to the constables and went home.

At the General’s residence in the capital.

In the study, Tang Jinghong was restless. He had sent Chu Qingzhi more than 20 messages, but Chu Qingzhi still hadn’t replied.

He clenched his fists on the desk, and his heart was in a mess. He had never looked so serious. He couldn’t help but want to fly back to the Chu Village immediately.

“Qingzhi, what happened?”

If Qingzhi didn’t reply by midnight, he would leave for the Chu Village immediately.

When Chu Qingzhi returned home, she immediately returned to her room and locked the door. With a wave of her hand, she summoned the phoenix. There were a total of 25 messages, each more anxious than the last.

She quickly replied, “Jinghong, I’m fine. There was a murder case in the county today. 1 went to help Third Brother investigate the case. 1 just came back home. Don’t worry.”

Tang Jinghong had never felt like a second could be as long as a year. Just as he was about to get up and return to the Chu Village, Chu Qingzhi sent a message. “Jinghong…”

When Tang Jinghong heard Chu Qingzhi’s voice, his tense body immediately relaxed.

He sat back in his chair and suddenly realized that Qingzhi’s place in his heart was far more important than he had imagined.

He asked with concern, “Qingzhi, what happened?”

Chu Qingzhi roughly told Tang Jinghong about the case and asked about the black market and Third Master Lu.

When Tang Jinghong heard this, he was silent for a moment before saying, “The black market is in a valley in the suburbs of the capital. I know where it is. Third Master Lu is my… good friend.”

Chu Qingzhi dumbfounded.

Jinghong really had a lot of friends!

Back to the topic, Chu Qingzhi asked, “Jinghong, do you know what ‘Yun’ means?”

Tang Jinghong was slightly stunned. “Yun? You found Yun too?”

Chu Qingzhi asked in confusion, “What do you mean? Are you investigating a case too?”

Tang Jinghong said, “I’m investigating the matter of the Minister of War selling official positions. 1 thought it was very simple, but as I investigated, 1 realized that the matter is getting more and more complicated. It seems like a conspiracy is slowly brewing.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “I have the same feeling. Moreover, this conspiracy involves the eastern border…”

Tang Jinghong had a bad feeling. “Something might happen in the eastern border.”

Chu Qingzhi said with concern, “Jinghong, the eastern border is too far away. There is only so much we can do. You’re in the capital now. You have to be careful.”

Tang Jinghong’s heart warmed. He smiled and said, “I know. You too. By the way, Qingzhi, I’ve already bought a mansion.”

So fast? Chu Qingzhi was happy. “Jinghong, 1’11 get the eagle to bring you some food tomorrow. Thank you.” Jinghong must have gone to help her handle this matter immediately after she told him.

“Okay.” Tang Jinghong couldn’t help but look forward to it. He paused and said, “Qingzhi, it’s very late. Go to sleep first. We’ll talk tomorrow.”

“I’ll sleep right away. You should rest too.” Chu Qingzhi’s heart ached for Tang Jinghong, who had waited for her for so long. She immediately agreed.

“Okay.”

Chu Qingzhi did not sleep. She sat on the chair and took a pen and paper to write the plan for the Food Festival.

She had to solve the case, but she also had to do the business. They would not affect each other or delay each other.

In the morning.

Chu Qingzhi prepared a Western breakfast for everyone. It was sausages, sandwiches, milk, and biscuits.

Everyone gathered around the table and looked at the exquisite breakfast. They were curious and did not know how to eat.

Wu Yaqing reached out to take it, but then pulled back, afraid that she would make a fool of herself. “Qingzhi, tell us how to eat it. We’ll learn. We’ve never had this kind of breakfast before.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and picked up the sandwich to take a bite. Then, she picked up the sausage and took a bite. Finally, she took a sip of milk.

“This is milk. It’s good for people of all ages. If you’re really not used to it, eat porridge. There’s some in the kitchen.”

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself, This is pure milk. Be it nutrition or taste, it’s better than pasteurized milk.

Chu Xuyao was the first to pick it up and drink it. The milk had a sweet flavor to it and slided down his throat like silk. “Fifth Sister, it’s delicious.”

Chu Xuyuan also picked it up and drank it. “It smells so good. Father, Mother, quickly try it.”

Li Qingyu and Chu Rong had never thought that humans could drink milk. This was for cattle. However, Qingzhi had prepared it for them. No matter what, they had to give it a try.

On the other hand, Grandpa Chu and Granny Chu didn’t find it unacceptable. Their birthplace was once stricken by drought, forcing them to escape here. The reason why this village had people with different surnames was because it was built up by people who were escaping the drought.

Along the way, they ate tree bark, grass roots, and yellow mud. Naturally, they had also drunk milk.

Wu Yaqing trusted Chu Qingzhi very much. Seeing that Chu Qingzhi had drunk it, she also took a sip.

In her impression, milk was for people to bathe in. She did not think it was drinkable, but after taking a sip, she was immediately conquered. It was fragrant and sweet. “I didn’t expect milk to be so delicious.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Milk can make your face glow. It’s better for girls.”

When Chu Qingyan heard that it could make girls prettier, she immediately drank half a bowl. “Fifth Sister can’t be wrong. In the future, 1’11 drink a bowl of milk every day.”

Chu Qingzhi stroked Chu Qingyan’s head. “Since you have such a deep love for beauty, you can learn to make rouge and become a makeup artist. With your obsession with beauty, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself.”

Chu Qingyan was very interested when she heard that.. “Fifth Sister, I know rouge, but what’s a makeup artist? Can it make people beautiful?”
