The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

By the time Ru Yue had settled things in the capital, the winter solstice had already passed. Fortunately, Chu Ning'an stayed at home and would arrange the exchanges with old friends and relatives, so she was not worried.

But the timing was awkward. With the Lunar New Year still more than twenty days away, it was a bit early to send gifts. But she couldn't make another trip just to do so. Just as she was struggling with this, there was a knock on the door. Who would come to see her at this hour? She asked, but no one answered, so she opened the door in frustration.

"Chu Ning'an, why are you here?" Ru Yue was ecstatic. He actually came to her when she was struggling.

"You've been out for many days and refused to go back, so I had to come out to find you myself." He said with a cold face.

In fact, seeing her happy expression when she saw him, Chu Ning'an's depression of the past few days dissipated a lot, and his face, which had been frosty for many days, softened a lot. However, he still stared at Ru Yue with a deliberately cold face, which made her feel uneasy.

"Chu Ning'an, I didn't mean to not go back. You have to believe me." This was the first time she saw him like this, and she felt for no reason that she was wrong.

"Oh? Then tell me why you didn't go back." He deliberately wanted to tease her and asked her about what had happened in the past few days.

Ru Yue did not try to be mysterious and told him everything that happened in the capital city, especially when she talked about the bloody incident in Magistrate Huo's backyard, she left no detail unturned. She told it as a story that had been turned over a new leaf, but Chu Ning'an was terrified when he heard it, especially when he heard about the assassination in the dark alley, he broke out in a cold sweat and held her tightly in his arms.

"Chu Ning'an, do you think I'm very bad? When I helped Miss Huo, I was thinking that if I could do the prefect a favor, our business would have a big tree to rely on here in the future, and you would have an extra layer of protection when you take the prefectural exam in April. But I didn't expect the Huo family to be so... so complicated, and I didn't expect Miss Huo to be so... so true to her nature." She felt more and more guilty as she spoke.

Chu Ning'an knew that she was a person who couldn't stand others being nice to her. If others were nice to her, she would definitely be very sincere to them. Rather than saying that she liked making friends, he actually knew that she preferred to make friends for the sake of benefits, without any mixed feelings.

"Silly girl, think about it, have you helped her solve the big trouble? Have you ever harmed their family in the slightest?" Chu Ning'an saw her nodding and shaking her head, staring at her with a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes. He couldn't control himself for a moment and quickly gathered his thoughts. "Even if Magistrate Huo was deceived by his second wife, it doesn't mean that he is a stupid person. Can your little trick really fool him? He was willing to give you a peace locket as a thank you instead of giving you money or generous gifts because he saw your kind nature. You never have the intention to harm others, and the little thoughts you have are just human nature, so you don't have to worry about it."

She stared at him for a long time, as if trying to discern the truth from his eyes. "Is this really the case?"

"Yeah." He nodded heavily to dispel her doubts.

"It's great that you're here, Chu Ning'an. I knew nothing would be difficult with you here." She suddenly hugged him, throwing her petite body completely into his arms, and rubbed her bright and beautiful little face against his solid chest like a naughty cat.

Chu Ning'an was stunned for a moment when she suddenly threw herself into his arms, then he hugged her tightly and laughed heartily.

After a long time, she seemed to realize that she was so busy talking about her own affairs that she forgot to ask him why he came to the capital.

Chu Ning'an pulled her back to the table and told her everything about his home and the workshop.

Before she brought people to the capital, she had already arranged everything at home. She thought she would be back in ten days or so, but she didn't expect to wait for more than half a month. Chu Ning'an wrote down his thoughts on his travels and submitted them to his master for review and correction. However, his master's words touched him deeply.

"Ning'an, you have made a lot of progress this time. The ancient saying 'Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles' is true. Your talent is indeed rare. The imperial examination is not difficult for you. Even if you take the imperial examination next year, you will get a good ranking. However, you still have a lot of shortcomings in terms of policy essays. If you have time in the future, you might as well accompany Miss Meng for a walk. It will be of great benefit to your future as an official and benefit the people. But you are far behind her in terms of people's livelihood!"

The people Uncle Wei left in the workshop were doing a good job. It was just that the orders from merchants from all over the country suddenly increased. It was thanks to Ru Yue that they increased production in advance, otherwise it would have been difficult to cope with it. This time he came here to deliver goods to the shop in the capital.
