Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 229: Bustling Night Market
Duan Yunfei instructed the driver to first take the carriage back to his courtyard in Xiuying Mansion, while they continued to stroll around leisurely.
Just as they left Zangxiang Pavilion, the window on the second floor of the pavilion suddenly swung open, and a black figure stood there, overlooking their departing backs.
The shadow turned back, addressing the man who was indulging in pleasure with a beauty, "Young Master, they’re people from Yongning Manor!"
"Hmm?" The man’s hand, which was gently stroking the beauty’s face, paused, and his expression suddenly turned cold.
He pushed the beauty away, and the beauty, who was absorbed in the teasing moments, suddenly fell to the ground with an "ouch."
"Get out."
They were flirting moments ago, but now he showed a cold face. What an unfeeling man!
While thinking about it, the beauty timidly glanced at the man before retreating reluctantly.
The man stood and walked to the window, observing their departing shadows, with a cool arc lifting at the corner of his lips, "I never expected Duan Yunfei would come to the Prefecture."
As they walked forward, Shen Qinglan suddenly stopped, turning her head.
Her cold eyes gazed in the direction of the window where the shadow and the man were.
The shadow locked the window, blocking Shen Qinglan’s gaze.
"What’s wrong?" Duan Yunfei asked.
"Nothing." She shook her head, glancing over again, and then continued to walk forward.
"Who was that woman just now?" The man frowned, "From such a distance, she could sense us watching, quite the sharp perception."
"Don’t know." The shadow shook his head, "Should I send someone to investigate?"
"No need." The man coldly replied, "The Thirteen Shadow Guards, nurtured painstakingly by my father, were just destroyed by Duan Yunfei. We should remain still and observe the changes for now, don’t alert the snake."
"Yes!"
The shadow responded.
"Miss Shen enjoys roaming night markets; she must visit the Capital." Yan Yijie suggested, "The Capital’s night market is far more bustling, with many acrobatic performances to watch."
Just as he spoke, the sound of drums and cymbals suddenly came from ahead.
They looked over to see a lion dance troupe, appearing out of nowhere, performing on the street, as people gathered around to watch.
Xuan Ying, abandoning his earlier sullen face, ran over with interest to join the excitement.
"Want to go over and check it out?" Duan Yunfei asked Shen Qinglan quietly.
"No, thank you." Shen Qinglan shook her head, "We can see from here."
Le Zhao looked across the street and suddenly suggested, "There’s a restaurant across the street, want to go up and sit for a while?"
In recent days, they’ve been munching on dry rations all along the way, and haven’t had any hot meals for a long time.
They looked and saw that the second floor of the restaurant across the street had open windows, and guests were standing at them, watching the fun with wine in hand.
"Alright, let’s go inside and sit." Duan Yunfei nodded.
Le Zhao said, "You guys go ahead, I’ll call Xuan Ying!"
"Young Master Le, let me go!" Xuan Ming said.
Xuan Ying is playful and hates being disturbed during a good show; if Le Zhao goes, he certainly won’t bring him back. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"Alright then." Le Zhao reluctantly nodded.
"Shopkeeper, is there a private room facing the street on the second floor?"
As they entered the restaurant, Yan Yijie called out.
The shopkeeper, seeing customers coming in, immediately smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes! Dear guests, please wait a moment!"
He spoke, summoning a waiter to lead them upstairs to the second floor.
Although the private room wasn’t large, it was rather elegant.
No sooner had they sat down than a waiter came to ask what they would like to eat.
"Bring a portion of each of your best dishes." Yan Yijie said, "Oh, and a few jars of wine as well."
"Certainly!" The waiter responded, "Please enjoy the tea first; the wine and dishes will be served shortly."
