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

Time passed minute by minute, the two of them quietly embracing each other, as if they were the only ones left in the world. After an unknown amount of time, Chu Ning'an suddenly felt a damp, cool sensation on his chest. He finally released his arms, as if awakening from a dream. Then, he gently cupped her delicate, porcelain-like face. Looking at her face, haggard and thin from longing, he felt as if his heart were being pierced by thousands of tiny needles, the pain so intense that he could barely breathe.

The next moment, he could no longer suppress the surging emotions within him, and without warning, a fiery kiss descended upon her, gently brushing against her tear-filled eyes before sliding down her delicate cheeks, following the tear marks, and finally resting on her pale, slightly trembling lips. At that moment, both of them felt so unfamiliar and inexperienced, their movements clumsy, yet neither of them had the heart to push the other away first.

The kiss continued like this for a long time, until Ru Yue began to feel difficulty breathing and could not help but let out a soft moan. Only then did they reluctantly separate. However, even though their lips were no longer pressed together, the deep affection contained in their eyes was so strong that it could not be dissolved.

Ru Yue's beautiful eyes gazed quietly at his dusty figure, and the corners of her mouth lifted involuntarily, a beautiful smile blossoming. That smile was like the gorgeous peach blossoms in full bloom on a spring day, charming and alluring, captivating and captivating. As time passed, Ru Yue's already beautiful features gradually matured, now adding a touch of feminine shyness and alluring charm.

Ru Yue happily went to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of steaming hot noodles for Chu Ning'an. She carefully brought the bowl to the table, gently placed it in front of Chu Ning'an, and said gently, "Are you hungry? Come and eat something to fill your stomach."

Chu Ning'an smiled and nodded, then picked up a mouthful of noodles with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. The familiar and delicious taste instantly spread across his tongue, leaving him feeling incredibly satisfied.

Afterward, Ru Yue sat beside Chu Ning'an, quietly listening to him recount the events of the past few days. It turned out that after arresting those men that day, Lord Huo had interrogated An Binghuai and Fan Qifeng overnight. Under torture, the two men finally gave in and revealed the truth. They also revealed the names of the spies hidden in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Chu Ning'an initially didn't want to get too involved in this matter. However, it was their fault after all, and if he mishandled it, he might accidentally implicate Ru Yue and himself. If someone with ulterior motives got hold of them, the consequences would be disastrous. So, after careful consideration, he decided to help Magistrate Huo with the case while simultaneously finding a way to completely remove himself and Ru Yue from this vortex, ensuring nothing could go wrong. Only in this way could they avoid unnecessary trouble and danger.

Magistrate Huo knew that if those spies escaped, it would cause a disaster, so he anxiously ordered Chu Ning'an to lead his men to capture them all and bring them to justice, and not let any of them go.

The An family was one of the most prominent families in the area, with businesses spread across the land and countless shops and farms under their control. However, the available manpower was very limited at the moment, which put Chu Ningan under great pressure. However, he also understood that this matter was of great importance and could not afford any negligence.

Carrying Magistrate Huo's handwritten instructions, Chu Ning'an traveled tirelessly from place to place. From bustling towns to secluded villages, his busy figure could be seen everywhere. For seven days and nights, he barely paused, exhausted, but always mindful of his mission. Finally, his hard work paid off, and after much effort, all the spies were successfully captured.

That fellow, Fan Qifeng, is actually the illegitimate son of the Northern Territory's Great General, Wenturhan! For years, he's been disguised as a merchant from Hui'an, Yingzhou, quietly traveling across Eastern Zhou, secretly gathering vital intelligence for the Northern Territory. Furthermore, he's exploited his status to continuously transport vast quantities of supplies desperately needed by the Northern Territory. If he's not captured this time, there's no telling how much disaster the Eastern Zhou will suffer.

Now, with the perpetrators caught red-handed and the evidence irrefutable, the imperial court naturally wouldn't let this golden opportunity slip by, intending to use this ironclad evidence to initiate negotiations with the Northern Territory. As for the ultimate outcome, it would depend on the skills and wits of the high-ranking officials at court.

As for An Binghuai and the An family, they are now trapped in a desperate situation, with no chance of recovery! An Binghuai is so audacious that he dared to collude with people from the Northern Territory and secretly sell food and other supplies to the enemy countries in the Northern Territory. Even more abominable, he even harbored a Northern Territory spy in his home. His crimes are simply unforgivable! Any one of these charges alone is enough to punish him with death a thousand times over, a crime worthy of extermination of the entire clan! However, the final verdict of the imperial court remains to be seen, and we must wait for the emperor's official decree to be released.

Chu Ning'an finished speaking, then slowly reached into his lapel and carefully pulled out a thick stack of deeds. His expression was solemn as he spoke, "The An family has been raided, and all their land and shops have been confiscated by the government. This time, I'm honored to assist Lord Huo with this case. He's recognized my contributions and has privately allowed me to select some of the properties and transfer them to his name as a reward. However, of these properties, the farms in remote areas are free for us to use as we please, but the shops in the prefectural and capital cities will have to wait until this matter is fully resolved before we can use them."

Upon hearing this, Ru Yue, standing nearby, quickly reached out to take the stack of deeds and carefully examined them. She was overjoyed to discover that they contained seven or eight farms and a dozen or so shops. Even more surprising, she discovered that one of the shops was located in a prosperous area of the capital, and the name registered there was none other than Ru Yue herself! For a moment, Ru Yue was so excited that she couldn't stop grinning, her smile so wide that her teeth were almost visible, and she kept shouting, "Haha, I'm truly rich now!"

Chu Ning quietly gazed at the woman in front of him, whose smile was as bright as a flower, and felt an incomparable peace and contentment in his heart. It was as if his wandering soul had finally found a home, and the feeling of peace and stability surged into his heart like a tide.

Ru Yue, on the other hand, gazed curiously at the indentures on the table. Just as she was about to ask about the secrets within, Chu Ning'an's slender fingers gently pressed against her soft lips before she could utter a word. He leaned in closer and whispered, "Don't ask today. I'll tell you tomorrow." His tone was firm and gentle, as if he'd already read her inner doubts.

At that moment, they stared at each other silently, as if time had frozen. Chu Ning'an's gaze was deep and ardent, as if he wanted to see through her eyes to the deepest secrets of her heart, as if he wanted to imprint her entire being deeply into his soul. Ru Yue also met his gaze without flinching, her eyes gleaming with the same deep affection and attachment.

At that moment, the candlelight in the room flickered gently, occasionally emitting a few bright sparks. That brief, dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire dim bedroom, allowing the two to more clearly see the joy on each other's faces. Their eyebrows curved, and smiles lingered in the corners of their eyes, a tacit understanding that conveyed their feelings without words.

It was late at night, but time seemed to have lost its meaning between them. Although fatigue had begun to invade their bodies, neither of them wanted to close their eyes and fall asleep. They just wanted to cherish this rare moment of tranquility and stay with each other for a while longer, even if it was only for a few minutes.
