That morning, Qi Yue was seeing a doctor in the medical clinic. Someone suddenly came from the county magistrate's office, saying that Chu Yunfei asked her to go directly to eat after the consultation because she had something to talk about.

Qi Yue agreed and asked Mrs. Zhang to arrange a carriage and go directly there at noon.

Ever since she became famous, she had to buy a car.

Because there were too many people wanting to say hello to her on the road.

Sometimes Qi Yue felt like she was a different person. In the past, she would never have been able to walk on the road and gossip with others. She would have driven them away with a bad temper.

"I didn't expect that at such a young age, I would be burdened by fame!"

As she got into the car, she sighed silently.

But even so, halfway through the car, the steamed bun seller recognized her and insisted on giving her some freshly steamed steamed buns.

She couldn't refuse, so she had to accept it and told Mrs. Zhang to go back and send the money over.

Just like that, she carried a bag of hot steamed buns and entered the door of the Sheriff's Mansion.

Chu Xiaohua's previous scandals were eventually found out by Chu Yuntian, and he drove her back to her husband's house. The county magistrate's house is now very clean.

Therefore, Qi Yue received a warm welcome as soon as she entered the door.

Chu Yuntian pointed to the steamed bun in her hand with a smile and joked, "Yue'er, why do you bring your own rations when you go to your adoptive father's house to eat?"

Qi Yue also laughed. After explaining the matter, Chu Yuntian nodded repeatedly.

"You acted righteously to save people, and the people will remember you!"

Mrs. Chu was also happy on the sidelines.

"No, now, Yue'er's reputation has spread. Last time, Hua'er said that people in their state capital were talking about Yue'er's superb medical skills and valuable medical ethics!"

Mrs. Chu is just a backyard woman. She doesn't care about anything except taking care of her husband's daily life.

Even now she doesn't know what Chu Xiaohua did.

The two of them didn't intend to let Mrs. Chu know.

After all, she is her biological daughter, so she knows more, so there is no telling what trouble will arise.

Chu Yuntian and Qi Yue looked at each other and immediately dropped the topic.

"Okay, Yue'er has been busy for a long time. She must be very hungry. Let's eat first!"

"Okay, okay, let's eat first!"

When the three of them arrived at the dining room, Aunt Chu also came to greet them and took Qi Yue to sit inside.

"Yue'er, you haven't been here for a long time!"

"Auntie, I've been too busy recently."

"You have to take care of yourself and don't be too busy."

"Thank you, auntie, I will."

Several people were talking and entered the room, only to see two men already sitting at the table.

Qi Yue didn't know these two people, one was in his early twenties and the other was in his late forties.

Seeing the people coming, the two people had already stood up and looked at Qi Yue attentively.

Chu Yuntian immediately made an introduction.

It turns out that the younger one is Chu Xiaozhi, the youngest son born to Chu Yuntian by Aunt Chu, and the other is Chu Yuntian's political officer named Feng Liang.

Qi Yue felt that the name Feng Liang seemed a bit familiar, and after thinking about it, she remembered that Chu Yuntian had mentioned this person to her before, saying that he had a clean family background, a bright future, and was a good husband candidate.

She immediately understood Chu Yuntian's intention of calling her here.

If she had known that a man would be introduced to her, she would not have come.

But she didn't expect that Aunt Chu also had this intention.

During the dinner, she kept asking Chu Xiaozhi to pick up food and pour wine, and treated Qi Yue attentively. Her meaning was obvious.

To be fair, one of these two people is the son of a county governor, and the other is an upstart in the workplace. They are indeed good husband candidates.

But compared with Zhao Xiyan, that's not even a bit worse.

Taking appearance alone as an example, a hundred Chu Xiaozhi and Feng Liang cannot compare to one Zhao Xiyan.

How could she, who admired the moon on the osmanthus branch, be tempted by the small flowers and grass beneath it?

Therefore, Qi Yue didn't see clearly what these two people looked like. She only talked to Chu Yuntian and buried herself in eating.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang noticed her displeasure and stepped forward to rescue her.

"Miss, you told Aunt Zhang yesterday that you would give her another check-up today. Now it's too late. Why don't you let me tell her not to wait."

How could Qi Yue miss such a good opportunity and immediately act like she suddenly remembered it.

"Ah, I forgot about this. Aunt Zhang's illness can't delay her, so I'll go back right now."

After saying that, he immediately stood up and apologized.

"Father, madam, aunt, I forgot that there is a patient today. I have to go back first. I will apologize to you another day."

When several people heard that it was about the patient, they no longer said anything to stop him.

But Chu Yuntian said he had something to talk about and sent her out all the way.

"Yue'er, are you blaming your adoptive father for arranging this incident?"

"Which one is it?" Qi Yue deliberately pretended not to understand.

Chu Yuntian sighed.

"How could your adoptive father not know what you are thinking? But now that you are over seventeen and will be eighteen soon, you should think about life-long events."

"Okay, I know." Qi Yue was just cheating and only wanted to leave.

"It's good that you know. My adoptive father doesn't mean to force you. Xiao Zhi and Feng Liang are both good people. You can try to see everything first!"

"it is good."

Qi Yue was busy walking. Whatever Chu Yuntian said, she just nodded in agreement.

The two of them soon came to a small hall, and Chu Yuntian seemed to remember something and stood still.

"Yue'er, I asked you to come here today because there is actually one more important thing."

Seeing Chu Yuntian's serious expression, Qi Yue also became nervous.

"Father, what is going on?"

Chu Yuntian glanced around, and when he saw no one there, he whispered, "The poisoner has some clues!"

"Ah," Qi Yue's eyes widened, "Who is he?"

"The specifics are not yet certain, but I am certain that the person is a member of Dong Gaoqing's family."

"How did the adoptive father confirm that he was from Donggao? Did he find anything weird about that person?"

"We found a strange pattern on his arm. That pattern is the symbol of Dong Gao Qing's family."

When Qi Yue mentioned the strange symbol, her heart moved. She quickly took out a piece of paper and homemade charcoal from her sleeve, and quickly drew a pattern that looked like a crescent moon but didn't look like a crescent moon.

"Father, look at it, does it look like this pattern?"

Chu Yuntian took the paper and took a look, and his expression immediately changed.

"Yueer, how do you know? Have you ever met this person?"

Qi Yue shook her head.

"Father, the knife that was inserted into your body had this pattern on it. I thought it was weird so I wrote it down."

"That's it." Chu Yuntian nodded, "This is more proof that that person is indeed a member of Dong Gao Qing's family."

"Father, is this Dong Gao Qing family very powerful? Can't we catch him?"

"This man is extremely cunning. My people have been thrown away by him many times. He is very difficult to catch."

Chu Yuntian let out a long sigh and raised his eyes to look at the distant sky.

"Yue'er doesn't know that the Dong Gao Qing family is a branch of the Dong Gao royal family. Fifty years ago, Emperor Dong Gao adopted his youngest son as his son because his younger brother had no children."

"Everything was fine at first, but then this brother suddenly rebelled and was wiped out, and all the people in the clan were going to be executed. At this time, the adopted son suddenly wrote a letter saying that he was willing to take this clan away from the royal family, and another Change his surname and start farming for a living."

"After that, they changed their surname to Qing and stayed away from the court. But for some reason, in the past ten years or so, the Qing family seemed to have come back to life and created a lot of momentum in Donggao."

"Moreover, there are various signs that this confrontation between the two countries was probably instigated by them."

After Qi Yue listened silently, she felt that she had heard the name 'Qing' somewhere before, but she couldn't remember it for the moment.

"Father, is the surname Qing common?"

Chu Yuntian shook his head, "Among the four countries, there is only one member of the Dong Gao Qing family."

Qi Yue was thinking about where she had heard this surname before, and heard Chu Yuntian say, "Yue'er, my adoptive father told you this to ask you to pay attention to your safety. Last time you saved the people, I'm worried that the one named Qing might Trouble you."

"Okay, I'll pay attention!"

"How about your adoptive father sends troops to protect you?"

"No need, I've hired someone to look after the home."

The two of them exhorted each other a few more words before they parted ways.
