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

Ru Yue's words calmed Mother Li down immediately. Yes, the recipe was the lifeblood of a workshop. How could she have forgotten it so suddenly?

"Forgive me, young lady, for speaking nonsense!"

"You mean well, but this requires long-term consideration. You are in charge, so you must remember that it's better to do less or even nothing, but you must never ignore the way to survive for the sake of temporary gains."

"I will remember your teachings, young lady. I understand." Mother Li and Uncle Wei answered sincerely, and never showed any neglect or disrespect to Ru Yue because of her young age.

"Okay, you guys go back first, I'll think about how to solve it."

After the two men bowed and left, the study immediately became quiet.

Ru Yue slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then opened them and looked around. She realized she had been in this world for nearly a year. Time had flown by so quickly, as if everything had just happened yesterday. She sighed softly, a faint sense of melancholy and emotion welling up in her heart.

She sat there quietly, leaning forward slightly, her gaze fixed on the distance. She tried to completely empty herself, not thinking about anything, not doing anything, just immersing herself in her own thoughts. She felt she needed this time to sort out her feelings and re-evaluate her life and future.

In this moment, she felt an immense peace and tranquility. No longer distracted by the noise and distractions of the outside world, she focused on her inner thoughts and feelings. She recalled every detail of the past—the moments of laughter, tears, pain, and happiness. These memories played endlessly in her mind like a movie, making her feel the mystery and wonder of fate.

When Chu Ning'an came in, he saw Ru Yue's eyes were empty and she looked absent-minded. He felt a sudden panic for no reason, and concern and panic appeared on her handsome face.

He stood in front of her, but she was still unaware. He carefully held her hand and asked, "Ruyue, what's wrong with you?"

His voice was hoarse, revealing fear and anxiety, "Ru Yue!" he called out again in a low voice.

Ru Yue seemed to wake up from a dream, "Ah? You're back?"

The voice was helpless and desolate, as if it came from a distant world, and he was isolated from that world by her. This made Chu Ning'an feel deeply uneasy.

"What's wrong with you? What happened?" he asked tentatively.

Ru Yue was silent for a moment, then slowly regained her composure. A faint smile appeared on her beautiful and delicate face again. "I'm fine. I was lost in thought for a moment. Did I scare you?"

Chu Ning'an didn't answer her. He gently held her in his arms and stroked her soft hair as if he was holding a rare treasure. Ru Yue could clearly feel his uneasiness and cherishment. She reached out and hugged his strong and thin waist, hoping to make him feel at ease.

"I'm really fine, don't worry." She knew that she had scared him, so she briefly told him what happened when Mother Li came over.

"Ruyue, I hope you can do what you like, instead of letting those things become your troubles." Chu Ning'an looked at Ruyue gently and said. His eyes were full of concern and understanding, as if he could see through Ruyue's inner confusion and pressure.

Then, Chu Ning'an carefully took out a stack of things from his arms and gently placed them in Ru Yue's hands. Ru Yue was a little surprised, but still took the stack curiously. She examined it carefully and found that it was a stack of silver bills, a large number of them and of different denominations.

Ru Yue carefully unfolded the stack of banknotes, and the sight before her astounded her. There were dozens of banknotes of varying denominations, the largest of which was worth a thousand taels! Other banknotes included 100-tael, 50-tael, and other denominations, totaling an estimated six or seven thousand taels.

The banknotes were neatly stacked together, each one emitting a faint scent of ink. Ru Yue couldn't help but marvel at Chu Ning'an's attentiveness and thoughtfulness. He had actually prepared such a large sum of money for her. For an ordinary family, this amount of money was a huge sum, enough to cover many difficulties and needs in life.

Ru Yue looked at Chu Ning'an with gratitude, tears in her eyes. She knew Chu Ning'an's intentions. This gift was not just financial support, but also a sign of care and encouragement for her. "So much money? Where did you get it from?"

"Don't worry, it must come from a clean source." He looked at her with a smile.

She was even more puzzled. He practically went only between home and the library. Even when he went out, he was always by her side. How could he have the chance to do anything else? She was most curious about what he could do to earn so much money. She was simply dying of curiosity!

"I'll tell you later. Anyway, it wasn't stolen or robbed. I earned it with my own ability." He originally wanted to give it to her when she needed it, but after hearing what she said today, he thought she was unhappy about the business and gave it to her directly. In order not to let her worry, he emphasized, "Can you trust me?"

Ru Yue stared into his eyes, which were more beautiful than a woman's, and could no longer ask any more questions.
