The box opposite was opened from the inside, and several people who looked like students came out, and Ning Zhengqing was clearly visible.

Du Xiaoyao glanced across at the other side, pouted, and reluctantly called out to a man inside, "Second Brother."

Du Wenshu was chatting and laughing with his friends. He looked at his sister and Jiang Yutong beside him and asked, "Yao'er, is this your friend?"

Du Xiaoyao introduced Jiang Yutong to her second brother, "Yutong, this is my second brother, Du Wenshu, a student at Hanbo Academy, and this is my friend, Jiang Yutong."

When the group heard Jiang Yutong's name, they all quieted down and looked back and forth between Ning Zhengqing and Jiang Yutong.

Ning Zhengqing's expression became more and more uncomfortable under these gazes.

Jiang Yutong, on the other hand, greeted Du Wenshu gracefully, "Hello, Mr. Du."

Du Wenshu didn't expect that this was Jiang Yutong, who was famous in the college. He actually looked quite pleasing to the eye.

He smiled and said, "Have fun, the bill will be in my name."

Du Xiaoyao finally smiled and said, "Thank you, second brother. We won't disturb you anymore and will go in first."

Then he took the lead and bowed, walking towards the box inside.

Jiang Yutong bowed accordingly.

After Jiang Yutong and Du Xiaoyao disappeared, the crowd began to discuss lively.

A curious person asked Ning Zhengqing directly, "Is this your ex-wife? She looks very graceful and elegant, quite nice."

The thing Ning Zhengqing least wanted to mention now was his past with Jiang Yutong, so he remained silent.

"Your ex-wife is pretty and I heard she's also into business. So you're divorcing her just like that?"

Standing next to Ning Zhengqing was Ye Xiujun's third brother, Ye Jingming, who was a classmate of Ning Zhengqing. Seeing everyone's constant questioning of Ning Zhengqing, he said, "As the saying goes, you can only know a person's face but not his heart. If she was a good person, I'm sure Zhengqing wouldn't have divorced her."

"Besides, we are all students. Why are we so interested in other people's family affairs? If someone doesn't know us, they might think we are a bunch of gossips."

Some people were unhappy. Except for Ning Zhengqing who came from a humble background, the others were all young masters who usually looked down on everyone.

A Master Cheng spoke up, "Jingming, I know Ning Zhengqing will soon become your brother-in-law, but there's no need to defend him and ridicule us. The one who abandoned his wife was Chen Shimei."

Ye Jingming angrily said, "Speak politely. Who are you calling Chen Shimei? We are both scholars. Don't you know that we are in love with each other? Besides, Zhengqing and Jiang Yutong are just child brides bought by the Ning family out of pity for Jiang Yutong. There is no love at all."

"Whether you have feelings for someone or not, you shouldn't divorce them just after passing the exam."

Seeing that Ning Zhengqing's face was getting darker and darker as he talked more and more outrageously, Du Wenshu quickly changed the subject, "Okay, aren't we going to Hanshan Temple to recite poems? If we don't go now, we'll miss it."

Everyone then shut up and went downstairs.

Ning Zhengqing lost his mood and said goodbye to everyone, "I suddenly feel unwell, so I won't go."

Ye Jingming pulled Ning Zhengqing's sleeve and asked, "Didn't we agree on this?"

Ning Zhengqing forced a smile on his face, "Jingming, you guys go, goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Master Cheng spat, "He's just a high-ranking scholar, isn't he? Why are you pretending to be so noble? He's so noble that he even abandons his wife."

Ye Jingming was choked with anger when he heard the voice, "Cheng Tianhe, you..."

Everyone quickly pushed the two people away and walked towards Hanshan Temple together.

"Stop talking, or you'll miss the deadline."

Jiang Yutong had no idea what had just happened. At the moment, she was eating snacks and listening to the storyteller downstairs. Not to mention, the storyteller was quite good.

The story was told vividly and with one climax after another. At this moment, the story was about Pluto.

"This Pluto is the nephew of the current emperor. The old Pluto and the current emperor are brothers from the same mother. It's a pity that the old Pluto died early, leaving Pluto and the old princess to depend on each other. The current emperor missed the old Pluto and left Pluto's brother in the capital. He is so prosperous."

Jiang Yutong sneered. What kind of glory was this? Wasn't it just because they were afraid that Pluto would rebel, so they left Pluto's brother as a hostage? The life of a proton must be difficult.

Du Xiaoyao saw that Jiang Yutong was listening intently, "Why, are you interested in Pluto?"

Jiang Yutong shook her head. "It just feels quite fresh."

Du Xiaoyao was worried about not having anyone to share her gossip. "I've seen this Pluto from a distance once, but he's quite good-looking. I heard he's a ruthless killer on the battlefield. He's still unmarried, and I wonder how many women are lining up to marry into his palace."

Jiang Yutong nudged Du Xiaoyao and asked, "Why, is my Xiaoyao also interested in this Hades?"

Du Xiaoyao blushed, "No, I don't. The person I like must be gentle and refined, not a warrior like this."

Jiang Yutong was a little surprised. She thought Du Xiaoyao would like a man with a generous personality.

Jiang Yutong didn't take it to heart and continued listening to the story downstairs.

"I heard that the Pluto intends to come to our Yinbai County."

A voice immediately asked from below, "When will the prince come?"

The storyteller stroked his beard and said, "Of course, such confidential matters are not for us to know. We will know them when the time comes."

Then the storyteller told another erotic gossip, naturally also about the Pluto. "The Pluto was extraordinarily handsome, and many women wanted to marry him. But one bold one blocked the prince's way at an intersection and offered him her embroidered handkerchief. However, the prince was devoted to the people, so it was a pity that this woman's kindness was wasted."

After listening to it, Jiang Yutong felt bored. Seeing that it was getting late, he thought about going back early.

Du Xiaoyao had originally brought Jiang Yutong here to play, so since Jiang Yutong wanted to leave, she naturally followed him.

After saying goodbye to Du Xiaoyao, Jiang Yutong went to buy some materials for making soap, and then went to the butcher shop to buy a few pounds of meat. Seeing that the fish at the fish shop next door were cheap, he bought a few more and prepared to dry them and make fermented fish.

Most people nowadays don’t like to eat this kind of fish because it wastes a lot of oil and has a fishy smell. They prefer to buy meat when they have spare money.

Jiang Yutong bought four large grass carps, each weighing more than three pounds, for only twenty cents.

After buying everything, Jiang Yutong walked towards his carriage.

Unexpectedly, Ning Zhengqing was waiting in front of the carriage. Jiang Yutong frowned. What was he doing here?

Ning Zhengqing had been waiting here for a while and was getting a little impatient when he saw Jiang Yutong coming over with a lot of things in his hands.

Jiang Yutong looked straight ahead, as if she didn't see him, and put the things on the carriage.

After putting the things away, I touched the horse's belly and saw that it was quite full. There is someone here who specializes in looking after the carriage. He can take good care of your horse for only ten cents.

Ning Zhengqing saw Jiang Yutong board the carriage swiftly, as if he didn't exist. He stood in front of the carriage with a cold face and said, "Jiang Yutong, let's talk."
