Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 164: The Secret Tome Acknowledges Its Master - Picking Flowers and Flying Leaves (7)
"Hmm, what happened to me?" Feng Xuxu moved her body, finding it quite stiff.
"Miss, you’ve been unconscious for a day. The doctor said it was due to overexertion and advised that you rest well," Baihe stepped forward to support Miss, holding up a cup of warm light saltwater for her to rinse her mouth.
"No wonder my body feels so tired." After rinsing, she seemed to feel a bit more relaxed.
"Yingsu has gone to fetch some porridge for Miss, she’ll be here soon." After placing a pillow behind Feng Xuxu’s back, Baihe began to massage the young lady’s legs to prevent them from stiffening.
Yingsu pushed open the door, seeing the miss awake, she came forward happily and said, "Miss, you gave me such a fright." Setting down the porridge she held, she moved to ease Miss’s shoulder with a massage.
"Alright, I’m fine now. You don’t have to fuss, I’m hungry and want to eat." One massaging the legs and another the shoulder—she wasn’t an old woman; she could recover slowly on her own.
"Miss, here you go." She took the bowl of white porridge passed by Yingsu and quickly finished it off.
"Miss, I’ll serve you another bowl."
"No need, I’m full." She stopped Yingsu, feeling already satisfied.
After eating, she went out to the courtyard to stretch her limbs. Seeing the house servants begin the harvest, she remembered that Young Master Feng Qi seemed about to arrive.
"How many days has it been since Feng Qi set out, should he not arrive by now?" She figured the journey by boat took merely two days.
"According to my calculations, Miss, he should arrive by this evening." Yingsu spoke as if assured Young Master Feng Qi would arrive today after the letter to Uncle Ma had been sent.
"Hmm."
After walking outside for a while, she felt much better. Just as she sat down to drink some cool tea, she saw Baihe approaching in a hurry.
"Miss, Young Master Zhang has come to see you and is now in the front hall."
"Hmm, does he know about my fainting?" She put down the cup in her hand, shook off the creases on her clothes, and hurried to the front hall.
"He is aware. Yesterday morning, Young Master Zhang sent the butler over to invite you to the Zhang Residence for a chat. When he learned of your unconsciousness, he then left," Baihe recounted the previous day’s visit from the Zhang Residence’s butler as she followed behind. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
"Hmm, I understand."
The two entered the front hall and saw Zhang Junyao staring absently at his cup.
"Young Master Zhang gracing my humble abode truly brings honor to this place," she said, interrupting the lost-in-thought man.
"Haha, Miss Feng, I’ll take that as a compliment," he chuckled.
"Miss Feng, here are some tonics I brought for you. Business is important, but your health is paramount," Zhang Junyao urged Feng Xuxu with concern.
"Hehe, the recent travels and the purchasing of the properties must have been too much, leading to my day-long faint. I’ll be fine after a couple of days of rest," she said with a pursed-lip smile: "I didn’t expect you to go to such expense, Young Master Zhang."
"If you say that, you’ll make me feel like an outsider. After all, we are partners now. Your good health allows us to earn more Silver, haha."
"Then I will accept it without reservation," Feng Xuxu said, becoming serious. She then presented a document detailing the greenhouse plans to Zhang Junyao.
"I had this prepared the night before last. Take it with you and look it over carefully; if you have any questions, come back to me." After seeing Zhang Junyao carefully examining the document and nodding with approval, she said, "Miss Feng, you should rest now. I’ll head back, and once you’re better, I’ll visit another day."
"Alright, Young Master Zhang, take care." She watched Young Master Zhang leave and, feeling tired herself, went back inside to lie down.
Seeing Miss asleep again, Baihe and Yingsu tucked her in with a light blanket before they left.
