The land manager looked at Chu Qingzhi in admiration. It was not unreasonable for the county magistrate to value her. "Your granddaughter is a gem."

Grandpa Chu was overjoyed. "Thank you for your praise, sir."

The host was warm and friendly. The guests were happy and had a good lunch.

After lunch, Chu Qingzhi followed the land manager to the county office to do the paperwork. The entire process was very smooth.

At noon, the county office provided lunch. Chu Xujin and Ge Lihua ate at the county office for lunch and did not have to go home. However, Chu Qingzhi did not get to see them.

Chu Qingzhi walked out of the county office and looked back. She guessed that the two of them might have gone to settle a matter, so she did not stay any longer. She took the land deed and left.

…

Chu Residence in the county.

Old Master Chu had made a name for himself in the grain business. They still had a grain shop and could be considered a big family in the county. The door of the residence was very imposing.

At this moment, the residence was decorated white. The door was wide open and many people were coming in and out. Faint cries could be heard from inside, filled with sorrow.

Chu Qingzhi came to the entrance and looked inside before walking in.

As soon as she walked in, she met Xiao Yi, a servant girl who used to be very close to the host.

When Xiao Yi saw Chu Qingzhi, she was stunned and in disbelief. "M-Miss?"

Chu Qingzhi wanted to take revenge on her adoptive parents, but she did not intend to ruin the host\'s reputation. Hence, she changed into mourning clothes according to the custom.

She had a high ponytail as usual and was wearing the silver hairpin that Tang Jinghong had given her. She was in white, and the breeze fluttered the white skirt. She was like a fairy.

Chu Qingzhi nodded at Xiao Yi. "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xiao Yi said, "I\'m going to get some things that I need for the funeral. Miss, you\'re back to pay your respects to Master, right?"

Chu Qingzhi nodded and glanced at the main room.

The main hall was decorated into a mourning hall. A coffin with good wood was placed in the middle. In front of the coffin was a brazier with paper money burning inside. Wang Peifang, who was kneeling in front of the brazier, was crying uncontrollably.

Old Master Chu, Old Madam Chu, and some elders sat on the chairs at the side.

At the entrance of the mourning hall, some juniors from the same family line were busy arranging the funeral.

Some business partners of the Chu Family came to pay their respects…

Xiao Yi said, "Miss, I\'ll bring you there."

"I can go over myself. Don\'t let Madam see you with me. It won\'t be good for you."

Chu Qingzhi did not want to harm Xiao Yi. If not for Xiao Yi, the host\'s life would have been even more difficult.

However, Xiao Yi shook her head. "Miss, I\'m not afraid. If not for the fact that I have a sick father at home, I would have left when you left. The Chu family is no longer what it used to be. When the funeral is over, I\'m afraid they\'ll have to reduce the number of servant girls and servants…"

Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment and said, "If you\'re fired, you can look for the boss of the Pure and Gentle Women\'s Clothing Shop. The boss will keep you."

This servant girl\'s embroidery skill was not bad. She was down-to-earth and diligent.

Xiao Yi replied gratefully, "Thank you, Miss. I\'ll keep it in mind."

Chu Qingzhi nodded. "Let\'s go over."

"Okay." Under Xiao Yi\'s lead, Chu Qingzhi arrived at the mourning hall.

At first, no one noticed, until Wang Peifang glanced at her…

When Wang Peifang saw Chu Qingzhi, she went crazy.

"Who let her in? Who let her in?" Her expression was ferocious as she looked at Chu Qingzhi with hatred.

Chu Qingzhi looked at Wang Peifang calmly. "Mrs. Chu, isn\'t it only right for me to come back to see my adoptive father?"

Wang Peifang roared hysterically, "Chu Qingzhi, get lost. You killed Chu Zhongyuan!"

She hated Chu Qingzhi for not treating Chu Zhongyuan and even thought that Chu Qingzhi did it on purpose.

Chu Qingzhi said calmly, "Mrs. Chu, this is a blatant slander. I\'ve already left the Chu residence for more than half a year. How can I kill him? Even if I have extraordinary ability, I can\'t kill someone from miles away, right?"

Well, technically, she could.

Wang Peifang pointed at Chu Qingzhi and said agitatedly, "You blame us for abandoning you and not letting you live a luxurious life, so you refused to save Chu Zhongyuan. Do you know how miserable his death was? How can you bear to do that?"

Miserable? How could she bear to do that? Not only was this woman vicious, but she also had double standards!

She really wanted to ask, "Do you know that Qingzhi was starving every day? Do you know how miserable she was when she died? How could you bear to treat her like that?"

Chu Qingzhi said calmly, "If I had that ability, I would definitely save him. But I really can\'t do anything about Chu Zhongyuan\'s health."

When Wang Peifang saw Chu Qingzhi\'s indifferent reaction, as if a Tom, Dick, or Harry had died, she knew that this wild girl was back to humiliate her, so she became even angrier and irritable.

"Chu Qingzhi, get lost. Get lost quickly. Our family\'s matters have nothing to do with you."

It was good that she had nothing to do with this family. She was afraid that these people would keep pestering her. She took out three incense sticks and lit them. She thought to herself, "Chu Zhongyuan, congratulations on going to hell!"

After muttering in her heart, she placed three incense sticks and turned to leave. However, she would come back one day.

Wang Peifang pulled out the three incense sticks that Chu Qingzhi had lit and threw them away crazily. She scolded Chu Qingzhi as she was walking out, "Get lost. Don\'t ever step into the Chu family again."

Chu Qingzhi suddenly stopped and turned around with a smile. "I advise you to accumulate some good deeds." She paused. "I remember that your son is less than a year old, right?"

Wang Peifang\'s face turned pale, and her lips trembled slightly. In her eyes, Chu Qingzhi\'s entire body began to emit black fog, like a malicious ghost.

Chu Qingzhi left the Chu residence happily and went home.

…

Halfway there, Chu Qingzhi suddenly stopped. She narrowed her eyes and smiled. "I\'ve thought of a way to shut Zhang Xiuqin up!"

She was grateful to Chu Zhongyuan for giving her inspiration.

She looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, she quickly disappeared into the forest at the side. With a turn of her body, she became a wandering fortune teller.

She wore a gray robe, a goatee, and a tattered hat. He held a sign that said "divination" in his hand.

She smoothed out her goatee, came out of the forest, and walked to the Chu Village with the sign.

…

In the Chu Village.

There were many little fellows playing at the entrance of the village. When they suddenly saw a fortune teller walking towards them, they immediately made way and felt deep veneration.
