The heavy rain poured down from the dark night sky, bringing long-awaited moisture to the land of Taoyuan Town, which had been dry for three years.

Countless people stayed awake all night, and every household cheered in the rainy night.

The next day.

The golden sunlight cut through the clouds and landed on the ground, bringing a hint of warmth.

The heavy rain has stopped, and the wind carries the smell of earth. Although the flowers, plants and trees on the ground have not yet fully grown out, if you look closely, you can find that tender green grass buds have already poked their heads out from the ground.

"Grass!"

“It’s growing grass!”

When the people in Taoyuan Town saw this scene, they cried for joy, and some even knelt on the ground and cried for joy.

Although this touch of green is just weeds, it represents life and vitality. If the weeds can survive, then crops can be grown on this land!

Next year will definitely be a season of harvest!

After tossing and turning for half the night, Ning Jie was a little tired and slept for a long time.

When he woke up, Mu Qingxue had already tidied herself up and was sitting by the window, as quiet as a virgin, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

"woke up?"

Mu Qingxue glanced at Ning Jie and greeted him, which made Ning Jie feel a little unbelievable.

You know, Mu Qingxue was always very cold to him before, why did she change her attitude today?

What's going on?

Motherly love overflowing?

Or is it the hormones that are raging?

Although Ning Jie was somewhat confused about Mu Qingxue's sudden enthusiasm, he was still very happy in his heart. He smiled and nodded in response:

"Yes, I slept for a long time."

"A lot of people came downstairs, probably looking for you."

"Um?"

Ning Jie quickly jumped out of bed and ran to the window to take a look. Sure enough, there were a lot of people gathered on the street in front of the inn, making the originally narrow street a bit congested.

"What?"

Ning Jie muttered to himself, then quickly dressed, went downstairs and came to the door of the inn.

"The benefactor has come out!"

Someone in the crowd shouted something, and immediately the crowd exploded like a pot of boiling water. Some people even knelt on the ground and shouted loudly:

"Benefactor, please accept my greeting!"

Ning Jie and Mu Qingxue exchanged a glance, then looked at everyone and frowned slightly.

"What are you doing?"

At the front of the crowd, an elderly man said with tears of gratitude:

"Gao Junran, that heartless hypocrite, has been a scourge to our Taoyuan Town for so long for his own selfish desires. This time, thanks to you, the adults, you have helped us get rid of this scourge, allowing Taoyuan Town to be reborn. We are all here to thank you!"

After the old man finished speaking, all the people took out the meager belongings they could afford and prepared to donate them to Ning Jie.

Those families who really couldn't bring anything were too embarrassed to come empty-handed, so they brought out their unmarried women and shouted to Ning Jie:

"My benefactor, I have no way of repaying your kindness, but I have a pair of twin daughters, sixteen years old this year, both very pretty. If you don't mind, I will take them in as concubines to serve you!"

The sound seemed unusually loud in the crowd.

This old man is quite smart. Seeing that Ning Jie has such strength, he also wants to find a good home for his two daughters.

Ning Jie couldn't help but look at the old man after hearing this. After all, it goes without saying how tempting twin sisters are to men...

However, this scene was also captured by Mu Qingxue's keen sense. She couldn't help but curse in her heart:

"lecher!"

Wherever he looked, Ning Jie saw the old man who was shouting, and the sixteen-year-old twin sisters beside him.

I have to say that both girls are quite pretty and can be considered beauties in the secular world. However, Ning Jie has seen so many beauties that these twin sisters must pale in comparison.

And more importantly, these sisters are only sixteen years old, which is indeed a bit too young. They look very young and innocent. Ning Jie feels a bit guilty and has little interest in them.

The most urgent task is to capture Mu Qingxue, the stunning beauty beside him!

If I alienate Mu Qingxue because of my lust for the twin sisters, it will certainly be a loss!

Thinking of this, Ning Jie resolutely waved his hand and refused like a gentleman:

"I appreciate your kindness, old man, but I already have a good wife, whom I love very much, so I don't need a concubine."

While he refused, he smiled and took Mu Qingxue's arm, showing the love of a loving couple. This surprised Mu Qingxue, but at the same time, she felt warm in her heart because of Ning Jie's words.

Ning Jie felt Mu Qingxue's heartbeat and felt a little proud. Then he continued to say to everyone:

"Everyone, getting rid of someone like Gao Junran is just a piece of cake. There's no need to thank me so much. Just live a good life from now on. My wife and I have been in Taoyuan Town for long enough. Today we will set off and continue our journey north."

Upon hearing this, everyone tried to persuade him to stay, but Ning Jie was determined to leave and left with Mu Qingxue.

Now that Lao Liu had come out of seclusion, Ning Jie no longer had to ride a horse. Instead, he bought a carriage at the market in Taoyuan Town and let Lao Liu drive, while he and Mu Qingxue sat in the carriage and enjoyed their own world.

"drive!"

Lao Liu reluctantly became the coachman and whipped the horse hard.

The carriage rushed out like an arrow from a bow, causing Mu Qingxue, who hadn't yet sat firmly, to fall backwards and let out a light cry:

"oops!"

Seeing this, Ning Jie quickly took Mu Qingxue, who was about to fall, into his arms.

When he came into close contact, a faint fragrance immediately filled his nose, refreshing his heart. Coupled with the delicate touch on his hands, Ning Jie felt relaxed and happy.

Inside the carriage, the atmosphere seemed a little charming for a moment.

Mu Qingxue just leaned in Ning Jie's arms. Neither of them spoke a word. They just snuggled together quietly, as if they had a tacit understanding.

After a moment, Mu Qingxue, with a slightly red face, came to her senses and hurriedly stood up.

Feeling a little embarrassed, she turned her head to the other side and looked out the window.

The carriage drove slowly along the streets of Taoyuan Town towards the outside of the town, passing by the place where the Gao family lived. The Gao Mansion had been burned down by the fire last night, leaving only ruins. Even the heavy rain last night could not put out the fire.

Mu Qingxue looked at the Gao family's current carriage and sighed slightly:

"Gao Junran did so much, but ended up with this result. Was it really worth it?"

“Is it worth it?”

Ning Jie thought for a moment and murmured in response:

"I don't know if it's worth it, but I can only ask what love is in this world, it makes people pledge their lives to each other!"

Hearing this, a gleam suddenly flashed in Mu Qingxue's eyes, and she turned to look at Ning Jie.
