Chapter 36: The General with No Heir VS the Delicate Commoner



One by one, plump white dumplings were born in Chi Yunzhi's hands.

Song Tingyue was good at leading troops in battle, but he was not so good at making rice dumplings.

Even Chi Yunzhi couldn't stand the rice dumplings with holes all over them.

She pushed the people aside, feeling both amused and helpless, and took over everything herself.

Not long after, Song Jinze came in behind Lanxiang, holding a string of freshly wrapped rice dumplings.

"Aunt, this is the rice dumpling my mother made, filled with fresh meat." Song Jinze raised the rice dumpling in his hand.

Chi Yunzhi couldn't free his hands, so Song Tingyue took it over.

"Thank your mother for me. Here, take these." In return for the favor, Chi Yunzhi also gave the rice dumplings she had made.

"These two are salted egg yolk flavored, these four are fresh meat flavored, and these two are pickled mustard greens flavored." After hearing the introduction, Song Jinze's saliva was secreted like crazy. He never knew that there were so many flavors of rice dumplings.

Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival and the twelfth lunar month, his mother would make rice dumplings.

Song Jinze left with the rice dumplings. The little guy could hardly walk steadily with such a basket of rice dumplings in his arms. It was Song Tingyue who delivered them.

After wrapping the rice dumplings and washing her hands, Chi Yunzhi planned to go to Baoyun Pavilion to take a look.

Song Tingyue also insisted on going together.

When Chi Yunzhi saw his appearance, she nodded with satisfaction.

Baoyun Pavilion was filled with ladies and young ladies. When they saw such a handsome man come in, their faces suddenly turned red.

They all looked at the man intentionally or unintentionally until they saw Chi Yunzhi behind him.

Someone in the crowd recognized that this was the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and the girl's face turned even redder.

When Chi Yunzhi saw this, she smiled.

The two went to the VIP room on the second floor together.

The shopkeeper came up with a smile and reported that the same style as Princess Muyang was the most popular among everyone.

A total of fifty sets came in, and more than thirty were sold out immediately.

It turned out that a lot of those slow-selling items were also sold.

Chi Yunzhi stood at the railing on the second floor, watching the people coming and going below, and a sense of accomplishment suddenly surged in her heart.

Song Tingyue didn't understand these women's jewelry, he just thought Chi Yunzhi was very capable and managed a store in an orderly manner.

Chi Yunzhi suddenly felt that there were more people on the second floor, and they walked past Song Tingyue intentionally or unintentionally.

Chi Yunzhi suddenly thought of something and took out a belt worn by men and asked Song Tingyue to put it on.

Sure enough, they all picked up the same belt and went to check out.

When the belts were almost sold out, she picked up a men's hair crown and put it on Song Tingyue.

Then came the emerald jade rings, jade pendants, and jade bastards. Chi Yunzhi gave all the ones in the store to Song Tingyue.

As a result, Song Tingyue became a walking accessories display stand.

Young ladies and girls all paid money to buy it.

Chi Yunzhi's hands were almost cramping from collecting so much money, and Song Tingyue only then realized that he seemed to have been used.

But he was genuinely happy to see Chi Yunzhi's bright smile.

Chi Yunzhi urged the shopkeeper to purchase more goods quickly and asked the craftsmen to sell more.

He also asked about the progress of the set of jewelry customized for Princess Wuyang.

"The craftsman said that this set of jewelry is too exquisite, and the earrings and the hairband are not yet completed." said the shopkeeper.

Chi Yunzhi now knew that Princess Wuyang would not return to Beijing for about half a month, so they had enough time.

She can also design other jewelry and sell it in her store, gradually differentiating herself from other jewelry shops in Beijing and building her own reputation.

When she saw the progress of the renovation of the shop next door, she nodded with satisfaction.

The carpenter has already finished decorating the first floor, and everything is strictly as marked on the drawings.

Once the second floor is installed, we can choose an auspicious day to open the store.

She has already seen Xiao Qianqian waving at her!

Chi Yunzhi stopped by the Chi residence to visit Zhou. Seeing that Zhou looked rosy and healthy, she was genuinely happy for her.

"If you feel unwell, be sure to tell Dad. You are two people now, so you must take good care of yourself." Chi Yunzhi kept giving instructions, and finally even put her hand on Zhou's belly to listen to the movement inside.

As a result, I heard the sound of a stomach full of water.

Both mother and daughter laughed.

When Chi Miaoyan came back from outside, she happened to meet Song Tingyue who was waiting in the outer courtyard. Her heart skipped a beat.

Whatever you think will come true!

Ever since she knew that the Song family was unwilling to change the marriage, she couldn't eat or sleep well.

Sometimes she really regretted giving Song Tingyue to her.

Chi Yunzhi is just a concubine's daughter who is not presentable. How can she be better than her, the legitimate daughter?

Why is Song Tingyue so concerned about Chi Yunzhi?

Song Tingyue noticed early on that someone's eyes were on him and would not move away. He turned around in annoyance.

At this moment, he was standing under a crabapple tree, with petals falling everywhere, making him look somewhat noble and untouched by a single leaf.

Chi Miaoyan came back to her senses from her complaints, composed herself and walked forward.

"The crabapple blossoms have fallen and spring has gone, and how many years have been wasted. With her cloud-like hair and smiling face, I pray that my love will look back at me." Chi Miaoyan chanted two lines of poetry, with sadness between her brows.

"Tingyue, I have something to tell you." Chi Miaoyan said gently.

The wind blew her hair and brushed the corners of his clothes.

Song Tingyue moved a step to the side, and Chi Miaoyan paused in her hair-lifting movements, feeling a surge of sadness in her heart.

If she had resolutely married Song Tingyue, would she be the wife of Marquis Zhenyuan now?

A wry smile played on her lips.

"What's the matter?" Song Tingyue asked.

Chi Miaoyan took a few steps forward and looked up at the few remaining crabapple flowers, feeling both anticipation and disappointment.

His attitude was very cold and he didn't even look at her.

"We were indeed wrong about what happened before, so please don't blame Sister Yunzhi." Chi Miaoyan said.

"Yunzhi and I have been married for several months. Isn't it a little late for you to tell me this now?" Song Tingyue didn't like dealing with these girls because there were too many twists and turns.

Chi Miaoyan was choked. She brought up the past just to make Song Tingyue look at her more.

"Yunzhi is fine." Song Tingyue said again, "Do you have anything else to say?" Chi Miaoyan pretended to wipe the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Tingyue, do you have to talk to me like this? We have been engaged." Chi Miaoyan took a step forward, and Song Tingyue immediately took a step back, his face full of vigilance.

"That was in the past. I'm only talking about the present. Now, my wife is Chi Yunzhi." Seeing her tearful look, Song Tingyue felt no sympathy in his heart.

"Thanks to you for replacing Yunzhi, otherwise I wouldn't know how good Yunzhi is." Song Tingyue taunted her again.

Chi Miaoyan felt as if her heart was being pricked by needles, and it was extremely painful.

After watching Zhou come out, Chi Yunzhi saw the two of them standing together, and her heart was full of doubts.

After hearing Song Tingyue's words again, her liking for this man increased to another level.

"Yunzhi, let's go home." Song Tingyue stretched out his hand towards Chi Yunzhi.

"good."

The couple smiled at each other and walked out of the Chi Mansion hand in hand.
