Chu Ning'an didn't say anything more, just stared at Yang Sixian coldly, and then said, "You two are welcome to do as you please. I'm leaving with my family first. Excuse me."

After saying this, without waiting for the two of them to reply, he got on the carriage and left, leaving behind only a cloud of dust.

"She's just a village girl's fiancée, how could he treat us like this? I was thinking of introducing my second sister to him so that he wouldn't be laughed at when he works in official circles in the future, but he actually...actually..." Yang Sixian said loudly, as if he was afraid that Chu Ning'an and his group couldn't hear him.

He had indeed gotten what he wanted, and Ru Yue and the others had overheard him. Zhang Erqiang angrily stopped the carriage and said he was going to teach this ignorant rich kid a lesson. What had happened to the villagers? How did they bother him? Did they deserve his contempt and disdain?

"Brother Erqiang, there's no need to bother with such a short-sighted person. You can't just bite back if a dog bites you, right? Just ignore him in the future." Ru Yue said calmly, "There are some people in this world who always like to meddle in other people's private affairs under the banner of doing good for others. Don't they know that only the feet know whether the shoes fit."

Chu Ning'an held Ru Yue's hand tightly, gazing deeply into her clear autumn eyes. Without warning, he smiled, as if bathed in a spring breeze. "Be it a village girl or a lady, if I get her, you're lucky, but if I lose her, I'll die."

The journey was not far, so they left home early and arrived at the rented courtyard around noon. It was also Ru Yue's first time here and she was not familiar with the place. Ah Xi, who came out after hearing the sounds, was very happy to see them.

"Miss, Sir, what do you think of the house I found? It's only two blocks away from the examination hall, and it'll only take a quarter of an hour to walk there. Many students from the town have already arrived at the surrounding inns, and the ones closer to me are already full."

"Axi did a great job. I am very satisfied with this house." Ru Yue praised without hesitation, and this sentence made Axi happy for a long time.

There are still seven days before the exam, and Chu Ning'an has enough time to adapt to the environment and recuperate. He knows Ru Yue's good intentions and will not let her down.

The group stayed there like this.

Ru Yue prepared different kinds of nutritious meals for Chu Ning'an every day. Zhang Erqiang and A Xi kept running outside every day to tell them the news they heard in teahouses and inns. Therefore, even though Chu Ning'an never went to the place where students gathered, it did not prevent him from getting the latest information.

"Oh, sir, Mr. Wu has also arrived with the people from the library. They're staying at the same inn we stayed at before. He asked me to tell you that the county magistrate has invited some prestigious students to a gathering at the county government office at 10:00 PM this evening, and he wants you to remember to go." As soon as Zhang Erqiang returned, he told Ru Yue and the others what he had heard outside that day. "The two people we met on the way here are also with Mr. Wu today, but they don't seem to be staying at the inn."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Brother Erqiang." After a brief thought, Chu Ning'an said to Ru Yue, "I will go to the inn to see Master later."

"Okay, take Ah Xi with you. The county town is crowded right now, so it's better to be careful." She seemed to suddenly think of something and added, "There's no need to get into trouble with that person if you see him."

Ah Xi was confused by what he heard and was scratching his head anxiously. He pulled Zhang Erqiang to get to the bottom of it. After they talked for a while, Ah Xi was so angry that he wanted to beat someone up, which made Ru Yue laugh and cry.

"Ah Xi, when you go out with your master, you must not act rashly. You must obey his instructions in everything. If someone is blind and says something unpleasant, come back to me, your young lady, and we will go and sack that person together. This way, you won't cause trouble for your master, understand?"

"Oh, I get it, girl. If any bad guy says something bad about you, I will come back and find you to put him in a sack and beat him up so that he won't be able to take the exam in four days." After saying that, he snorted, as if challenging someone, which made several people laugh.

Ru Yue has always liked the innocence in Ah Xi. He was protected too well by Uncle Qi. Although he ended up selling himself, he did not see the real sufferings of the world, so he couldn't help but speak and act with a bit of naivety and straightforwardness, just like when he first met Chu Ning'an and challenged him to a competition. Sometimes people couldn't help but think he was stupid, but Ru Yue cherished this innocent heart.

Maybe these are exactly what she lacks!
