Zhuang Ziqian, half-skeptical but not showing it, asked, “Who is the doctor? I would like to pay him a visit.”

Yu Wanwan’s servant ca over, “Young Master Zhuang, the doctor isn’t in the village right now. I heard he’s out treating soone…”

Zhuang Ziqian hesitated, ” When will he be back?”

The servant shook his head, “I don’t know. The doctor is very busy every day, sotis leaving early and returning late, only seen at night.”

Zhuang Ziqian thought for a mont, “Then keep an eye out. Inform imdiately when the doctor returns.”

“Yes, Young Master Zhuang,” the servant replied.

Yu Wanwan suggested, “Ziqian, it’s getting late. Wiry don’t you stay here for

the night before heading back?”

These words reminded Zhuang Ziqian. “Did the doctor say when you would recover?”

Yu Wanwan answered honestly, “Three months.”

Zhuang Ziqian quickly said, “Then I’ll also return after three months.”

Yu Wanwan looked up at Zhuang Ziqian, her eyes full of confusion, “Why would you stay that long?”

“To wait for you. I’m not at ease with you being here alone.”

Zhuang Ziqian’s words were almost a confession, and Yu Wanwan felt a slight stir in her heart, “Xiao Si, prepare a room for Ziqian and go to the county town to buy so food and drink to welco him properly.”

“Yes, miss,” the maid thought to herself, wondering if Young Master Zhuang had feelings for her miss.

Zhuang Ziqian thought it might be a good opportunity to express his feelings to Yu Wanwan. Otherwise, if he waited until she recovered to confess, she might misunderstand his affections as superficial.

With this thought in mind, he secretly planned.

Tian Xiaoqiu’s aunt ca to Chu Village excitedly, finding Li Qingyu working in the fields, “Sister Qingyu, I have sothing to tell you.”

Li Qingyu put down the hoe and walked to Auntie Tian. “What’s the matter? Auntie Tian said, “I want to bring Tian Xiaoqiu ho. I can’t enter the ancestral hall. Can you get Chu Rong to help bring her out?”

Li Qingyu frowned, puzzled, “Xiaoqiu is doing well in her studies. Wiry take her back?”

Auntie Tian maintained her smile. “What’s the use of a girl studying? It’s better for her to help at ho.”

Li Qingyu sensed sothing was amiss, “Xiaoqiu is diligent and well-behaved.

Let her continue her studies. If she does well, she can stay and work in the workshop, right?”

Auntie Tian refused. “No more studying. No matter how well she learns, her earnings will belong to her husband’s family in the future. It’s better if now…”

She stopped herself abruptly.

Li Qingyu grew even more suspicious, fearing Auntie Tian might plan to sell Xiaoqiu, often to a brothel, “Tell the truth, or I won’t agree.”

Seeing Li Qingyu’s refusal, Auntie Tian’s smile faded, “Qingyu, Xiaoqiu ca to your ho to study, not sold to you. Why can’t you agree?

Li Qingyu thought there must be sothing fishy, “Xiaoqiu also calls ‘Third Aunt.1 How can I just watch you mistreat her?”

Auntie Tian beca defensive but also more aggressive, “Now you rember you’re her ‘Third Aunt’? Where were you in the past years? Xiaoqiu was raised by . Now that I need her, she has to repay.”

Li Qingyu, not wanting to argue, softened her tone and asked, “How do you expect Xiaoqiu to ‘repay’?”

At this point, Auntie Tian went all out. “Soone from the neighboring Zhang Village has offered five taels of silver to buy Tian Xiaoqiu as a child bride. I ve already agreed to it.”

Li Qingyu was incredulous, “Becoming a child bride is even more tragic than being a maid. How could you, as Xiaoqiu’s aunt, bear to see her suffer like that?”

Auntie Tian rolled her eyes. “If you don’t want her to suffer, then pay these five taels of silver. Anyway, your family is so rich.”

Li Qingyu looked at Auntie Tian in disappointnt. “Money is not the issue, but there has to be so sense of morality.”

“No matter what you say, if you want Tian Xiaoqiu, you have to pay.” Other than money, there was nothing else in Auntie Tian’s eyes.

Li Qingyu briefly inford Chu Rong and angrily took Auntie Tian to the ancestral hall.

At the ancestral hall.

It was break ti, and Chu Qingning stepped out for so fresh air, only to see her mother storming over. She quickly approached, “Mother, what’s wrong?”

Li Qingyu, a prominent figure in the village, had many villagers following her out of curiosity when they saw her angry.

An elderly woman pointed at Auntie Tian, “Your mother is angry because of her.”

Li Qingyu was indeed very angry, “Qingning, is Xiaoqiu here?”

Chu Qingning, piecing together the elderly woman’s words and the situation, beca worried, “Yes, what’s happened?’

Auntie Tian waved her hand. “Call Xiaoqiu out.”

Chu Qingning was very puzzled. “Xiaoqiu is sick, resting on the desk. Whatever it is, just say it here.”

Auntie Tian imdiately started to flare up. “What illness? She’s pretending to be sick, right? Does she know that I’m coming to look for her and deliberately pretended to be sick to avoid ?”

Chu Qingning was upset, “Xiaoqiu lives with you, don’t you know she’s sick?” Auntie Tian snapped back, “She hasn’t been ho for days, who knows where she’s been ssing around!”

Xu Songnian intervened, raising his voice, “Don’t speak so harshly! Xiaoqiu has been staying at my place. What ssing around? She’s a girl, how can she face people if you talk about her like that?”

Auntie Tian raised her eyebrows. “Did I say sothing wrong? Which good girl doesn’t go ho?”

Xu Songnian was furious and argued, “If she can co back, won’t she?” Auntie Tian said aggressively, “What do you an? Did I abuse her?” “Didn’t you abuse her?” Xu Songnian said, “Xiaoqiu said that she planned to commit suicide that day, but she was afraid and climbed ashore again. What auntie? You don’t care about her at all.”

Auntie Tian was shocked. She did not expect that the little girl would actually commit suicide. “Don’t talk nonsense. I treat her quite well. How could she commit suicide?”

Xu Songnian said, “You know very well how you treat her!”

Ge Lihua walked over. “I rember Xiaoqiu telling that soone broke her howork. It was your son, right? Since you’re here, let’s settle the compensation?”

Auntie Tian imdiately took a step back. “She broke it herself. Don’t malign my son.”

“It was your son who broke it.” Xu Wenlin squeezed into the crowd. “Xiaoqiu cherishes it so much. How could she break it herself? It was you who indulged your son and wronged a good person.”

Li Qingyu did not expect there to be so many things. “Qingning, how much did it cost for Xiaoqiu’s treatnt? Now that your auntie Tian is here, isn’t it ti for her to settle the bill?”
