The host is cute and charming, who doesn’t love the charming wife?

But now, she felt that Chu Qing had gradually accepted her and cared a little more about her these days.

She must not let Chu Qing feel that she did this on purpose.

To put it bluntly, Bai Jingjing wants to maintain a good image of a pure white lotus in front of Chu Qing.

Aunt Chu did all this, and it was Aunt Chu who asked her to return it.

I don't know anything.

And Chu Qing was diverted as she wished, thinking that his mother deliberately kept her from knowing.

And he also knew the purpose of doing this, which was to break off his old relationship with Ruan Miaomiao...

At the end of the day, in the final analysis, it’s for yourself!

This era still pays great attention to filial piety. Not to mention that Aunt Chu's starting point is for Chu Qing's good. Even if she does something wrong, the son cannot directly point out her mother's mistakes in public.

Not to mention that Chu Qing has read so many books, and this kind of thinking is even more so. It is impossible for him to go to his mother for such a "little thing".

Just like when Aunt Chu decided to break off the engagement and let him marry Bai Jingjing.

Although he felt guilty in his heart, he still did not dare to disobey.

Therefore, he just apologized to Ruan Miaomiao, who had turned her back to him, and kept saying sorry.

Although Zhou Yu on the other side was unbearably sad and jealous, he was still more concerned about whether Ruan Miaomiao was really sad.

But when he turned around to look, Ruan Miaomiao winked at him slyly. She didn't look as sad as he thought she was crying.

While signaling him not to expose her, she also let out intermittent whimpering sounds from time to time in conjunction with Chu Qing's apology. It was so pitiful and cute.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu It’s better to pay it back once and for all.

I remember there was an inkstone. I spent all my pocket money to go to town to buy it for you. "

"This, this..."

Chu Qing really liked the inkstone. If Ruan Miaomiao hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have remembered that she bought it for him.

He used the inkstone every day, but he was really reluctant to return it.

"I forgot. I didn't pay attention to this inkstone before. I'm afraid I can't find it for a while... I'll go back and look for it."

Isn't it just a broken inkstone? Bai Jingjing cursed. She couldn't bear to see Chu Qing's embarrassed and entangled look, so she took the initiative.

"If you can't find it, forget it. How much did you pay for it? Just treat it as if we bought it from you."

How much more can a broken inkstone be worth?

"Five hundred coins." Almost at the same moment, Ruan Miaomiao turned around and smiled sweetly at Bai Jingjing, "Then thank Sister Bai first. If the inkstone really can't be found, give me the money." Same thing. After all, now that I have become a householder, I realize that there are so many things that I need to spend every day. Five hundred yuan is not much, but not much. I can buy a big pot for my home. I’m afraid I can still afford it. Little things.”

Upon hearing the price, Chu Qing and Bai Jingjing's eyes widened.

Five hundred liters? !

Who are you lying to!

This is enough for them to buy food for half a year, ensuring that they will not be hungry for half a year.

"Miaomiao, did you remember it wrong?"

Chu Qing swallowed and said a little uncertainly.

"I remember correctly, I bought it at Yunxiang Pavilion, and it was personally recommended by the shopkeeper. If you don't believe it, you can go there with me again in person."

Even after the words were spoken, Bai Jingjing didn't want to be inferior in front of Ruan Miaomiao and couldn't hold her head up.

.

"I don't have that much on me right now. When I'm free, I'll send the money to the Zhou family."

"No!"

Chu Qing was shocked. That was five hundred coins, not a small amount.

It's not that the Chu family can't afford it, if it's for him to study, they can afford it even if it's twice as much.

But if it was just to compensate Ruan Miaomiao, his mother would definitely refuse if she found out.

"Maybe the inkstone can be recovered, Jingjing, there's no need..."

At this moment, Chu Qing felt in his heart that his sister Miaomiao had changed and became a philistine.

She was not this kind of person before, maybe because they were married, she felt a little strange to him.

Bai Jingjing ignored Chu Qing's wink at her, and in turn comforted him.

"It's okay. It's just five hundred coins. I can get it together in one day, no, three days, so you don't have to look for it."

Her tone was extremely firm and she looked particularly confident.

It made people except Zhou Yu a little confused.

The Bai family's wealth is worse than that of the Chu family.

At least the Chu family had a pretty good life before, but the Bai family?

If she had some money, how could Bai Jingjing be forced to marry an old bachelor in her late thirties in order to raise money for Bai Feilong's marriage?

Ruan Miaomiao didn't care how she raised the five hundred coins. Anyway, she said she would just wait to collect the money after three days.

"Then I'll wait. It's getting late. Brother Chu Qing and Sister Bai, let's go first."

Ruan Miaomiao's smile was as cute and sweet as ever, but in the eyes of the two people opposite her, they each had their own thoughts.

Zhou Yu, who had been acting as the background just now, finally felt his presence. He held Ruan Miaomiao's hand possessively in front of Chu Qing and was about to leave.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention it." Ruan Miaomiao, who had only walked a few steps, suddenly turned around and looked back, startling Chu Qing and Bai Jingjing, fearing that she would remember something that she had not returned.

"On the day that Brother Chu Qing and Sister Bai get married, you must inform me in advance so that I can prepare a big gift for you to bless you."

Bai Jingjing's face was stiff, she didn't want Ruan Miaomiao to come.

What to do if someone comes to cause trouble? It seems that it is not a good thing to be close to the village, so that nothing can be hidden from the other party.

Fortunately, we can get rid of Ruan Miaomiao completely in one year.

After all, he had robbed her of her marriage. Bai Jingjing often felt inferior and guilty when facing Ruan Miaomiao.

The more inferior you are in your heart, the less you can perform worse than her.

This is her mentality at the moment.

"Haha, okay, but there is no need to give gifts..."

When the person finally walked away, Chu Qing frowned deeply and sighed.

Bai Jingjing looked at him doubtfully and asked him what was wrong.

"I just didn't expect Miaomiao to look like this now, just an inkstone..."

As he spoke, Chu Qing shook his head, seeming to look down upon Ruan Miaomiao's current changes, but after a second thought, he still attributed the cause to Zhou Yu.

"Perhaps it was her husband-in-law who caused this. As a man, the burden of the family rests on him. How can he let his wife remember to use this little money to lighten the family's burden? Alas."

When Bai Jingjing heard this, she rolled her eyes in the dark. She thought it was Ruan Miaomiao's idea. Maybe she wanted to take revenge on him if she couldn't get Chu Qing.

Zhou Yu, who at first glance looked like a man who couldn't even say a word, was eaten to death by Ruan Miaomiao.

That's why Chu Qing told lies with her eyes open, and even now she is still excusing Ruan Miaomiao.

Then he thought that Ruan Miaomiao's behavior in wanting to return the inkstone was really stingy. Since the things were given to others, they belonged to others.

After only a few days of marriage, he could no longer hide his stingy look. Fortunately, she still regarded her as a fierce rival, which was nothing more than that.

It's just that she needs to find a way to earn these five hundred coins.

……

Ruan Miaomiao only stayed at Ruan's house for half a day before returning to Wulin Village with Zhou Yu.

The air in this village is still good, in every sense of the word.

"I need to go to town tomorrow to deliver the piano table to the prince's palace."

At night, Zhou Yu, who was lying on the bed, suddenly made a sound. Ruan Miaomiao, who was so frightened that she was about to fall asleep, suddenly woke up.

"Ok?"

She was a little confused and didn't know why Zhou Yu said that.

Zhou Yu was lying on the bed, still afraid to stare at Ruan Miaomiao casually because of shyness.

Instead, he lay flat on his back and looked up at the top of the wall. It could be seen that he hesitated for a long time before making up his mind to speak out.

"Didn't you say you wanted to give them big gifts? I'm going to town this time. If you have anything you want to buy... tell me."

Now Ruan Miaomiao understood what he meant and turned around to look at him with a strange expression.

Youyou said: "...Are you stupid? Do you really want to have a wedding drink?"

This idiot, couldn't you see that she said that on purpose, to scare Chu Qing and Bai Jingjing?

Bai Jingjing used a trick to get something that didn't belong to her, but now it's precious. If she could shrink Chu Qing and hide it on her body, she would have done so long ago.

Zhou Yu, who had been scolded as silly and sweet, gradually came to his senses, opened his mouth slightly, and asked in disbelief, "You mean, you lied to them, but in fact you didn't go to their wedding at all?"

"Fortunately, I can still be saved."

If Zhou Yu really couldn't understand, she would consider taking Zhou Yu to have his brain checked.

"I won't go because I don't want to be disgusted, but I will definitely give you the big gift I promised..."

Now Zhou Yu would definitely not think that the gift was what he thought it meant. He turned to look at Ruan Miaomiao, who was wandering her eyes and not knowing what she was thinking.

This scene was quite similar to the sly smile he saw in the afternoon, and it made his heart beat violently.

It turned out that she was not as fond of Chu Qing as he thought.

It was him who wanted to take offense.

Her character was far more lively and real than he imagined?

Such a real Ruan Miaomiao made Zhou Yu feel that his life with her would be fulfilling and happy in the future.

"So is there something you want?"

Ruan Miaomiao tried hard to think about it, but she couldn't remember it for a moment. It seemed that there was nothing missing. After all, they had just gotten married, and Zhou Yu had bought the missing things before.

"Just watch and buy...wait, how about I go with you? I haven't been to the town for a long time."

It’s boring to be at home all the time, so why not follow along and have a look.

On a whim, Ruan Miaomiao turned over and lay on Zhou Yu's body.

Zhou Yu naturally couldn't refuse Ruan Miaomiao, so he arranged everything early the next morning.

Originally, a piano table could be carried on a donkey cart, but since Ruan Miaomiao was going, of course Zhou Yu had to call a carriage.

After entering the city and paying the money per person, the carriage entered the city directly and stopped in front of the palace.

Zhou Yu got off the carriage first, then told Ruan Miaomiao to stay in the carriage, and then followed the palace servants in.

Ruan Miaomiao sat bored in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked outside.

The town was more lively than she had imagined. Even in the morning, both sides of the street were lined with people setting up stalls early in the morning, unlike modern roadside stalls where people are afraid of even setting up stalls.

She was lying on the window, looking curiously at her surroundings with her charming little face.

Many people passing by couldn't help but stop to admire her beauty.

At this time, a pair of master and servant saw this scene by the window not far away.

The man in black brocade clothes looked stunning and sighed: "They say there are outstanding people here in Nancheng. It is true. I met two of them this morning alone."

The boy behind him also had a playful smile on his face.

"I guess the young master is used to seeing beauties from the capital, so coming to the south feels new."

An Jinxuan was noncommittal. What did a servant know?

Beauty is in the bones, not in the skin. People in the capital are too utilitarian and hide themselves well in front of others. Everyone is a lady, but behind the scenes they are industrious.

Annoying people.

"pity."

After watching for a while, the young man wondered why the young master suddenly said this, and looked down.

It turned out that another man came out. As soon as he came out, he helped the girl on the carriage to get out of the carriage. His appearance could only be described as Zhou Zheng, but he was taller than ordinary people, and he could tell that he had a lot of strength.

He obviously has a good relationship with the beauty on the carriage, and is most likely a couple.

"It's like a flower in cow dung."

An Jinxuan sighed inwardly, it wasn't like he really fell in love at first sight, so he wouldn't marry Fei Qing.

It's just that everyone has a love for beauty, and the men who come later are really not a match.

A beauty like this should marry into a wealthy family so that she can afford to raise her and prevent her beauty from withering prematurely.

His sighs are unknown.

Here Zhou Yu and Mr. Wang delivered the goods and paid the money. Mr. Wang was very satisfied with the piano table he made and gave him extra small pieces.

Zhou Yu was originally asked to stay for dinner, but Zhou Yu refused, remembering Ruan Miaomiao waiting at the door.

He led Ruan Miaomiao around the town.

"How much did that piano table cost?"

While walking, Ruan Miaomiao asked curiously.

Zhou Yu made a three-hand gesture, "Three hundred coins?"

This is too small.

"Three passes."

Ruan Miaomiao's pupils shrank, three strings were worth three thousand cash, she didn't expect a piano table to be so profitable.

After all, Zhou Yu only sold the rocking chair for two hundred coins, which made her think that Zhou Yu sold it for a very low price.

She suddenly spread her palms, and Zhou Yu didn't react for a moment.

"Hand it over, confiscate it!" Ruan Miaomiao glared, pretending to be hurt and said, "Do you still want to keep it privately?"

Even though he now knew Ruan Miaomiao's true character, Zhou Yu was still startled by Ruan Miaomiao's injured expression, and immediately hurriedly took out all the money on his body.

"The rest are at home, I hid them in your cupboard... everything I have is yours."

Ruan Miaomiao snorted, but she felt quite relieved.

"It's your acquaintance."

The small glance in Zhou Yu's eyes made Zhou Yu's breath hitch. Before he could speak, Ruan Miaomiao, who had received the money, had already turned her head and ignored him.

Switching between the front and back faces is very easy.

"what?"

At this time, Ruan Miaomiao, who raised his head again, suddenly saw a familiar figure.
