Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Seeing Wu Yaqing’s embarrassed and flushed face, desperately wanting to hide, everyone tactfully said nothing and quietly left the dining room.

Wu Yaqing wished she could pounce on Third Master Lu and strangle him. She fiercely gestured a throat-slitting motion at him and then hurriedly ran upstairs.

Third Master Lu pursed his lips, realizing that this girl was like a rabbit ready to bite. He coughed lightly and regained his usual cold demeanor before striding away.

Tang Jinghong stood in the courtyard and waited for Third Master Lu. “Just now…”

“Nothing happened!” Third Master Lu said quickly, as if he was afraid of being seen through. Then, he left this “troublesome place” with Wang Xingming.

Tang Jinghong watched Third Master Lu’s retreating back with a hint of amusement on his face. Things were getting more interesting.

“Five sister, come and taste this!”

In the second-floor hall, everyone had laid out the apple pies they had made, seven in total, in a row on the table.Nᴇw chapters are publɪshed on ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet

Chu Qingyue called Chu Qingzhi to come and taste them.

Chu Qingzhi surveyed the seven apple pies and commented, “They all look quite good.”

Chu Qingyue cut open the one she made and picked up a piece with her chopsticks. She handed it to Chu Qingzhi. “Fifth Sister, try it.”

Chu Qingzhi sat on the stool and tasted it seriously. “Second Sister’s apple pie is a little sweeter. Everything else is not bad.”

“Fourth Sister baked it for a little too long. It’s a little old and a little burnt.”

“Yujun, yours tastes a little too bland. You didn’t add enough honey.”

Chu Qingzhi commented seriously on every apple pie.

Chu Qingyue sighed, “It looked so easy when you did it, but we all had issues when we tried.”

Chu Qingning comforted herself, “How could we master our fifth sister’s skills on the first try? Doing this well on the first attempt is already quite good.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and encouraged, “Four sisters are right, you all did quite well. Others might not have been able to do it.”

Chu Qingyue said, “Let’s try again in a few days.”

Chu Qingzhi stood up, “Tomorrow is the food festival. I’ll go check on the arrangements. If you need anything, find me in my room.”

“Ok.”

“Qingzhi, wait.” Hong Yujun stopped Chu Qingzhi. She went forward and pulled Chu Qingzhi to the side. She said shyly, “Qingzhi, I want to know how to find Wen Shaoyuan.”

Chu Qingzhi hesitated for a moment. “Only Jinghong can find Wen Shaoyuan. I’ll talk to Jinghong later and ask him to pass the message.”

Hong Yu Jun nodded with anticipation, “Thank you, Qingzhi.”

“You’re welcome.”

In the wine-making workshop.

The yellow rice wine was in a critical fermentation stage, requiring regular checks. Hong Yujun had to inspect each fermentation vat, even at night before she could rest.

After finishing the last check.

Footsteps sounded from behind…

Hong Yujun thought that it was Wen Shaoyuan and turned around happily. However, the person she saw made her smile disappear.

She stepped back, wary, “Who are you?”

Wang Chunwei leered at her, “Don’t be afraid. I’m from the neighboring Wang Village. I saw you today and couldn’t forget your face…”

As he spoke, he moved closer to Hong Yujun, clearly up to no good.

Hong Yujun opened her mouth to call for help, but eventually remained silent. If the villagers saw her with a man at night, no matter what happened, her reputation would definitely be ruined.

It was not easy for her to have a clean reputation. She did not want to be tainted again.

What to do?

Seeing Wang Chunwei getting closer, Hong Yujun broke into a cold sweat.

Wang Chunwei lasciviously approached, “Little beauty, don’t be scared. I’ll take good care of you. After tonight, I’ll take you as my bride…”

As he spoke, he pounced on Hong Yujun.

Hong Yu Jun threw her lantern at him and ran to another room, locking the door.

However, one of Wang Chunwei’s feet was stuck in the crack of the door. Hong Yujun couldn’t close it no matter what, and Wang Chunwei even touched her hand.

“Your skin is so smooth,” he lewdly remarked, reaching for her hand again.

Hong Yujun had no choice but to retreat further into the room.

Wang Chunwei pushed the door open and entered the room. With a lecherous smile, he locked the door. Let’s see how you can escape now.

The room was a storage room, filled with bags of glutinous rice.

Seeing the door close, Hong Yujun broke out in a cold sweat. She was extremely nervous. Her body went weak from fear and she fell to the ground. In her fear, she touched a stick on the ground. She tightly held it in her hand.

Wang Chunwei turned around and approached Hong Yujun with the help of the moonlight from the window. “Little beauty, don’t be afraid. I’ll make you happy later.”

Hong Yujun retreated in despair. At the same time, she kept brandishing the stick in her hand. “Get lost…”

After being hit a few times, Wang Chunwei was furious. He grabbed Hong Yujun’s hand and snatched the stick from her hand. He threw it aside with a clang. In this claustrophobic environment, it made people even more nervous and afraid.

“You can’t escape from me…”

Hong Yujun struggled violently, but the difference in strength between men and women was too great. She could not break free no matter what. “Let go of me, let go…”

Seeing that Wang Chunwei was about to pounce on her, Hong Yujun shouted in despair, “Wen Shaoyuan, Shaoyuan…”

The next second, the door was cut open by a sword. The door opened and a tall and handsome figure flashed in.

He slapped Wang Chunwei’s head.

Wang Chunwei’s body went limp and he fell to the side. Blood slowly flowed out of his seven orifices.

Wen Shaoyuan bent down and picked Hong Yujun up. “I’m sorry I’m late.” His voice was low and strong, with a hint of gentleness.

Hong Yujun recognized Wen Shaoyuan’s voice and instantly calmed down. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her body tightly against Wen Shaoyuan’s broad chest. Only then did she feel safe.

“If it had been any later, you might not have been able to see me.” At the brink of despair, Hong Yujun was prepared to take her own life.

Wen Shaoyuan stopped in his tracks and tightened his grip. He said in a low voice, “It won’t happen again.”

When they stepped outside, illuminated by the moonlight, Hong Yujun looked up to see Wen Shaoyuan’s sharply defined jawline, entrancing her with its beauty.

Wen Shaoyuan, nearing his thirties, radiated a mature man’s aura. Coupled with his handsome and resolute appearance, his charm was irresistible.

Hong Yujun gently tapped his shoulder, somewhat embarrassed, “Shaoyuan, you can put me down now. I’m alright.”

Wen Shaoyuan carefully set her down.

Hong Yu Jun’s legs were still weak, and she stumbled, falling into Wen Shaoyuan’s arms, creating an awkward yet intimate atmosphere..
