Ning Feng recounted the details of what he had seen that day at Cuiwei Lake to Chu Jinnian.

“Taking those two brothers, Qi He and Qi Shen, to court is acceptable, but what’s surprising is the scholarship and knowledge that young lady possesses. She seems to know about these things, and apparently, she handles them quite easily, even appearing to mock these methods.”

“Despite her demeanor, she doesn’t seem like a wandering street performer. It’s a pity that her face was obscured by a light veil that day, so I didn’t get a clear look at her.”

Ning Feng expressed his regret about this.

I see.” Chu Jinnian blinked, his deep eyes concealed a growing smile.

Although Ning Feng didn’t see the face of that young lady, if you think about it, had they not seen such a young woman handling these street tricks with such expertise before?

The very young Manager Zhuang of the tofu shop…

A beautiful image gradually surfaced in his mind, causing the comers of his mouth to subtly lift.

The initially cold demeanor softened a bit, revealing Chu Jinnian’s typically gentle and refined demeanor of his youth.

It seems his young master really admires this county magistrate, Ning Feng thought, his face unable to suppress a smile.

After all, it had been a long time since he last saw his master’s demeanor become so relaxed when mentioning a stranger.

Sensing the satisfaction within Ning Feng’s smile, Chu Jinnian believed his thoughts were seen through by him. He cleared his throat, handed over the book he was holding to Ning Feng, and lay down.

“I’m tired.”

Yes.” Ning Feng replied. He let down the canopy curtains on both sides, extinguished the lamps, checked the melting condition of the ice in the room, and then quietly stepped out, gently closing the door behind him.

Zhuang Yutian arrived as promised, looking for Zhuang Qingning to get the mosquito repellent herbs for transport to the town.

“How’s the trial these past two days?” Zhuang Qingning inquired.

“It’s very good.”

Speaking of this, Zhuang Yutian’s face was full of excitement, “There wasn’t much left that day by Ning girl, and your Aunt and I didn’t send out much. But whoever we sent them to, they came the next day, claiming they’d never used such good mosquito repellent herbs, and wanted to buy more to place in every room.”

“When they heard that there’re no stocks left at the moment and they had to wait for a few days, they all agreed without hesitation. Some even prepaid deposits for the fear of the herbs selling out by the time they needed them.” “In these last few days, there’s a need for about two hundred packets of mosquito repellent herbs. Once this batch is sold and more people start using it, the next batch will probably have even more demand.”

“I’m planning to send some to the inn and restaurant after the goods are back, places where people often use these. This sector has big potentials. As for those who often have business with the city, I also plan to approach them, hoping to supply them as well. If we can supply the city, that would be a steady stream of income.”

Zhuang Yutian became more excited as he talked.

Zhuang Qingning couldn’t help but smile.

She was pleased with the prospect that Zhuang Yutian described, and even more pleased with the business mindset of Zhuang Yutian and Mrs. Meng.

As they’re good at business and understand business, she doesn’t have to worry about sales, she just has to supply the raw materials, then sit at home and count her money, a very content situation.

Uncle Yutian and Aunt Meng will have to work hard in the future.” Zhuang Qingning said politely.

Why work hard? It’s not hard when it’s money-making work, it’s supposed to be this way.” Zhuang Yutian chuckled, continued to explain his future marketing ideas to Zhuang Qingning, and confirmed the next pickup time and approximate quantity of supplies.

This amount is estimated to be neither too much nor too little, but less quantity doesn’t matter either, good goods are always in demand, the more people buy them.”

“That makes sense.” Zhuang Qingning agreed, and helped Zhuang Yutian load the herbs onto the carriage.

After everything was loaded, Zhuang Yutian set off for home with the herbs.

On the way, many people seemed to be in a hurry.

Far away, there were sounds of sobbing and cursing.

“Brother Dahe, what’s going on?” Zhuang Yutian asked Zhuang Dahe curiously. You may not know, something big happened in Zhuang Ruman’s house.” Zhuang Dahe said, “A big issue!”

What happened?” Zhuang Yutian was somewhat surprised.

“Isn’t it about ZhuangQinghe’s marriage?” Zhuang Dahe scoffed.

Zhuang Ruman has been boasting everywhere saying that Zhuang Qinghe has an excellent marriage proposal, being pompous every day, looking down on everyone, acting extremely arrogant.”

“I just heard that Zhuang Qinghe stole money from home and ran away!” “Ran away?” Zhuang Yutian widened his eyes, “Where did she run to? Did they find her?”

“No need to look for her, she was sent back.” Zhuang Dahe’s mouth complained, “Guess who Zhuang Qinghe went to?”

“Who?”

“To the county town, to find Zhuang Wencheng!”

Zhuang Dahe said excitedly, “Zhuang Qinghe ran to the county town to find Zhuang Wencheng, asking him to propose to her, saying if zhuang Ruman doesn’t agree, they will elope.”

“Zhuang Wencheng wouldn’t be interested in Zhuang Qinghe. Naturally, he refused, told Zhuang Qinghe to go home immediately and not bother him, but Zhuang Qinghe was persistent and refused by crying in the pharmacy, even causing the County Government Office to be alarmed.”

“Zhuang Qinghe behaved shamelessly, refused to leave even after making a scene, even the officials were helpless. In the end, they had to persuade her to leave, Zhuang Wencheng threatened suicide, and managed to send her back.” “Zhuang Wencheng, being kind-hearted, didn’t say anything. Could Mrs. Wang get away so easily? She’s now calling her son and daughter-in-law to go to Zhuang Ruman’s house to make a fuss. We need to quickly go and watch the fun.”

The villagers here all somewhat dislike the sinister and selfish Zhuang Ruman. When Zhuang Ruman made a fuss about the bean seeds a while ago, the dislike intensified. In these few days, Zhuang Ruman being arrogant and boasting everywhere intensified the dislike even more.

Those who were holding a grudge, became gloating when they saw something happened to Zhuang Ruman’s family, especially the issue with Zhuang Qinghe’s marriage, there’s a saying, “it’s always fun to watch somebody else’s fight.”

“So that’s what happened.”

Zhuang Yutian has disliked Zhuang Ruman ever since he tried to use him and his older brother, Zhuang Yucheng, to cause trouble for Zhuang Qingning. Now when he heard some misfortune had befallen Zhuang Ruman’s family, he felt no sympathy at all.

He even felt like spitting on his face.
