“Ruyue, Ruyue…”
Li Qingyu took down the letter and rushed back to the house.
Shen Ruyue was the most knowledgeable. Li Qingyu was afraid that her son and daughter would not understand and delay the matter, so she looked for Shen Ruyue.
Shen Ruyue walked out of the workshop quickly. “Auntie, what’s wrong?”
Li Qingyu hurriedly handed the letter to Shen Ruyue. “Qingzhi’s letter. Ruyue, quickly read it for .”
Shen Ruyue quickly wiped her hands and took the letter. After reading it, she said, “Auntie, Qingzhi said that she’ll be back soon. In the next two days.”
These words were heard by the Chu family who had rushed over after hearing the news. Everyone’s expressions imdiately beca expectant…
Li Qingyu was overjoyed. “Qingzhi is really coming back?” Her daughter was finally coming back after leaving for almost two months.
Shen Ruyue nodded affirmatively and smiled. “It’s true.”
“Aiyo, Qingzhi is finally coming back. 1 miss her so much. I wonder how
Qingzhi has been.” Granny Chu grabbed Li Qingyu’s wrist. “Qingyu, you have to rember to prepare so delicious food for Qingzhi.”
Li Qingyu agreed excitedly. “Mother, 1 know.”
Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang looked at each other and saw the longing in each other’s eyes. The corners of their mouths curled up. Their master was finally coming back.
Chu Eighth ran to the stable and threw so horse grass to Fu Bao and Hou Fu. She said excitedly, “Fifth Sister is coming back.”
The two horses blinked and neighed.
Shuiyun County.
On the bustling street, a group of constables was chasing after a young man in gray.
“Catch him, catch the human trafficker!”
“Quick, stop him. Don’t let him escape!”
“Stop the human traffickers. We can’t let him escape!”
Chu Xujin also followed behind the constables. He was the one who solved the case and found the human traffickers’ nest. The rest of the human traffickers had all been subdued apart from the man in gray.
There were so commoners who wanted to help, but the human trafficker had a sharp dagger in his hand. They did not dare to approach.
Suddenly, a girl in orange flew over like a swan and kicked the human trafficker away. The human trafficker landed in the middle of the constables and was imdiately arrested.
The girl fluttered down. Her almond-shaped eyes were clear and beautiful. Her black hair was like a waterfall and her figure was graceful. She stood in the middle of the commoners and was very eye-catching.
This girl was Ge Lihua.
Her family was rcilessly destroyed, and her personality had undergone a drastic change. In the past, although she knew martial arts, she kept a low profile and rarely showed it. However, now, she could not tolerate any injustice. When she saw injustice, she would uphold justice.
From the northern border to the capital, she had caught no less than three thieves.
Chu Xujin’s gaze fell on Ge Lihua. He could not take his eyes off this valiant and righteous girl.
He quickly walked up to Ge Lihua. “Thank you for your help, Miss. Otherwise, this human trafficker would have run away.”
Ge Lihua nodded slightly, her attitude a little cold. “It’s my duty.” With that, she turned around and left.
Chu Xujin quickly stopped her. “Wait, Miss.”
Ge Lihua looked back. Her facial features were elegant and beautiful. She looked cold and aloof, like a lone wolf. “Is there anything else?”
Chu Xujin unknowingly beca ill at ease. This was abnormal. “People who help catch the human trafficker will be rewarded with five taels of silver.”
Ge Lihua gave all her money to Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong, which showed that she was not soone who valued money, but this was her first ti earning money and she really wanted it. “How can I get the money?”
Chu Xujin said, “Follow to the governnt office. After I explain to the county magistrate, you can get the money.”
Ge Lihua nodded. “Then I’ll go with you.”
Chu Xujin was about to bring Ge Lihua back to the governnt office when he suddenly saw Chu Qingzhi and the others walking over with their horses. He imdiately ran over excitedly. “Fifth Sister, Brother Jinghong.”
Ge Lihua looked over. Fifth Sister? Could this young man be the third brother, Chu Xujin, who Chu Qingzhi had ntioned?
Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong were also very happy to see Chu Xujin.
“Third Brother.”
“Xujin.”
“Fifth Sister, Brother Jinghong, you’re finally back. We have been waiting for your return.”
“We encountered so tricky matters, so we were delayed for quite so ti.” Chu Qingzhi looked around the street. “Third Brother, why are you here?”
“I’m here to catch the human traffickers.” Chu Xujin turned around and pointed at the constables. Then, he pointed at Ge Lihua. “1 almost let a human trafficker escape. Fortunately, I had that girl’s help.”
Ge Lihua walked over.
Chu Qingzhi thought to herself that this fate was a little wonderful. “Third Brother, her na is Ge Lihua. She’s a friend I t in the northern border. She ca to the capital to travel.”
Chu Xujin was surprised for a mont. Then, he cupped his fists and bowed to Ge Lihua. “Miss Ge, nice to et you.”
“Lihua, he is my third brother, Chu Xujin.”
Ge Lihua also cupped her fists and her attitude beca much gentler. “Young Master Chu, it’s a pleasure to et you.”
This was the first ti Chu Xujin was called Young Master. He felt a little embarrassed. “You don’t have to call Young Master. It sounds awkward. You’re Fifth Sister’s friend, so you’re my friend. Just call by my na.”
Ge Lihua was also a person who did not like to be too formal. “Alright.”
Chu Qingzhi pulled Wu Yaqing over and introduced her to Chu Xujun, not as the princess of An Huai Kingdom but as a friend she made in the northern border.
Si Yingzong had already followed Tong Yujie elsewhere and was not here.
After exchanging so words, Chu Qingzhi, Tang Jinghong, and Wu Yaqing went to the inn. The gifts were placed in the carriage parked in the backyard of the inn.
Chu Xujin brought Ge Lihua to the governnt office to collect the reward.
They split into two groups.
Chu Qingzhi and Wu Yaqing got into the carriage and Tang Jinghong drove it back to the Chu Village.
Chu Xujin said that he would go ho early after applying for leave from the county magistrate. He would bring Ge Lihua ho and there would be no need to wait for them.
At the county office.
When Ge Lihua saw the post at the door, she stopped in her tracks.
There was a post on the notice board. The post said that the governnt office was recruiting people who knew martial arts and would offer a salary of five taels a month.
Ge Lihua pointed at the post and asked Chu Xujin, “Are you still recruiting?”
Chu Xujin quickly nodded. “Yes.”
Ge Lihua lowered her long eyelashes and thought for a mont. Then, she asked Chu Xujin, “Am 1 qualified?”
Chu Xujin was shocked. “Miss Ge, you, you an you want to be a constable?”
“Can’t I?” Ge Lihua turned to look at Chu Xujin. Did he look down on won?
Chu Xujin was afraid that Ge Lihua would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, “No, no, Miss Ge, don’t misunderstand. There has never been any female constables in the governnt office. The magistrate might not agree.”
Ge Lihua had already made up her mind. “1 know martial arts. Anyway, you can find any suitable candidates. I’ll give it a try.”
Chu Xujin nodded. He could not help but look forward to Ge Lihua becoming a female constable. “I’ll bring you to see the county magistrate..”
