Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 166: The Secret Tome Acknowledges Its Master - Picking Flowers and Flying Leaves (9)
Watching the excited Shisan, Feng Xuxu smiled without saying a word, "You have all seen it; I just purchased this estate. You two will be in charge here, Feng Qi as the estate butler, and Shisan as the field butler. You two need to cooperate and work together well. I have also started a cooperation with Zhang Residence recently. Feng Qi, you will only be responsible for managing the accounts, and Shisan you will handle the technical aspects. Have you both understood?"
"Understood, miss." They looked at each other, then in unison they said.
"You must be tired from traveling, after dinner, rest well," she said compassionately, noticing the weariness in their faces and the dark circles under their eyes.
"Hehehe, not tired at all, seeing the miss has reinvigorated us instantly. Here is a letter from Young Master Feng to you, miss."
Taking the letter, Feng Xuxu hurried back to her room to open and read it.
"Dearest Sister: A month has passed since you left, and your brother misses you dearly. Now hearing that you are in Zhangzhou Prefecture, I am relieved. Knowing that you have bought an estate there, I am thrilled for you. If you are tired from your travels, hurry back home. I have prepared your favorite dishes and drinks, awaiting your triumphant return. Lastly, nowhere is quite like home; take good care of yourself. Your brother, Feng Xi." After reading the family letter, tears fell like a string of pearls breaking, cradling the letter as if it were a priceless treasure.
The night approached, and fog surrounded Death Valley. There was a quietness inside Death Valley, so still that it was terrifying. Even the birds in the sky bypassed this place.

"Grandmother, you’ve woken up." Jueqing knelt on the ground, watching as his grandmother once again came back from death’s door, his eyes brimming with emotional tears.
"Silly child, why cry? Birth, aging, sickness, and death, everyone goes through it," Grandmother said, her withered hand wiping away her grandson’s tears.
"My dear, are you hungry? I’ve had someone prepare your favorite red date porridge," said Xuanyuan Zhen, sitting beside the bed, gazing at his partner who had been by his side for decades, having been pulled back from the brink of death time and time again. Only he knew how his heart twisted with each close call.
"Ah, the red date porridge made by Huihui tastes the best. Unfortunately, who knows where she is now, whether she will come back to see her mother." As she spoke, tears streamed down to her earlobes.
"Grandmother, I’ve found your daughter. She has two children, one named Feng Xuxu and the other Feng Xi. Just wait, grandmother, I will go find them tomorrow and bring them to see you," he said, holding his grandmother’s hand and speaking slowly.
Upon hearing this, Grandmother’s eyes welled with longing, hope rekindling in her once-lifeless eyes, "Is that true, my dear? Then bring them quickly. I haven’t seen your aunt for twenty years, and she now has her own children, good, good."
Xuanyuan Zhen, hearing that his daughter had children, couldn’t help but tremble with excitement.
"Alright, Grandmother, I’ll go now. You must wait for my return." He let go of Grandmother’s hand and got up to leave the room.
Grandfather followed Jueqing outside, calling out to his grandson as he was about to leave.
"Jueqing, are you telling the truth?"
"Grandfather, it’s true, but Aunt... she’s no longer with us."
Jueqing stepped forward to support his grandfather’s shaking body, "Grandfather, stay strong, Grandmother needs you..."
"You go, bring your niece and nephew back. Grandfather is alright; your father and mother will also be back soon." With a heavy sigh towards the sky, he accepted the inevitable that his daughter wouldn’t come teasing him anymore, shakily returning to the side of his life partner.
