Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 167 Xuanyuan Hidden Clan (1)

Jueqing arrived at the study, anxiously waiting for Gu Ye, the Divine Doctor from the valley.

"Young Master." When Gu Ye entered the study, he saw the Young Master furrowing his brows and pacing back and forth.

"Uncle Gu, how is my grandmother doing? How much longer can she hold on?" he asked as he grabbed Gu Ye’s arm, his mouth corner peeling.

"Alas, with my current medical skills, I can only ensure a lifespan extension of at most one month. Beyond that, I’m afraid I am helpless," Gu Ye sighed and shook his head.

"One month, huh? That’s enough." After hearing that his grandmother had one month left, he slumped into a chair in dejection.

"Young Master, you must take care of yourself." Gu Ye sighed deeply, opened the door of the study, and walked out, leaving the Young Master alone in his contemplation.

Xuefei received some intelligence and entered the study to find his master in such sorrow, standing silently to one side, keeping his master company.

"What is it?" Jueqing lifted his head to glance at Xuefei and asked with pursed lips.

"Master, this is the latest intelligence we’ve intercepted; Zhang Junyao of Zhangzhou Prefecture was investigating matters concerning your maternal grandmother when our people intercepted him mid-way," Xuefei passed the intelligence onto the desk.

"Hmm, has the young lady made contact with Zhang Junyao in Zhangzhou Prefecture?" He licked his peeling lips with his tongue and frowned deeply in thought.

"Yes, she just signed a contract a few days ago," Xuefei then silently stood to one side again.

"Go pack simply, and we will set out immediately for Zhangzhou Prefecture," he decided after putting down the intelligence, choosing to depart overnight.

"Yes, Master."

After seeing Xuefei leave, Jueqing leaned back in his chair, his head throbbing as he thought about how to reveal the truth to Feng Xuxu.

Zhangzhou Prefecture

"Miss, why is there a lotus mark on your forehead?" Baihe, while combing the miss’s hair in the morning, suddenly noticed a faint pink lotus mark on her forehead.

"A birthmark, it’s just that it used to be very light and went unnoticed," Feng Xuxu made up an excuse.

"Really? That’s odd, I thought it was something you dabbed on with pigeon blood," Baihe said, shaking her head. She styled her mistress’s hair into double heart-shaped buns and added a crown, designed by the miss herself, inlaid with colorful gems, which adorned her hair, adding a sparkling charm.

"Miss, you look beautiful," Baihe complimented as she looked at her mistress’s stunning beauty in the bronze mirror and took a pair of slender earrings from the jewelry box beside her, adorning her mistress’s earlobes, making her face look even more enchanting.

Feng Xuxu looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and although she was only fourteen years old, she appeared to have the face of a young girl and a figure like a siren.

"Miss, it’s almost the beginning of autumn, should we add a few clothes?" Yingsu came into the room with breakfast, having felt the chill from her early morning martial arts practice, and knowing that the estate was close to the mountains, the blowing wind was quite cool.

"Yes, we shall go for a stroll after breakfast. Since arriving in Zhangzhou Prefecture, besides purchasing land and discussing cooperation with the Zhang Residence, I haven’t really had a proper tour around," Feng Xuxu’s interest piqued. She had spent the rest of her time recuperating at the estate and had yet to visit the town.

"Alright, I’ll get ready," Baihe said excitedly, dashing off to prepare the carriage in the stable, feeding the horses, and waiting for them to be ready to pull the carriage and take the miss to the Prefecture Government.

"Miss, look at how happy Baihe is," Yingsu said, her face revealing a smile.

"Are you talking behind my back? Don’t you want to go to the town as well?" she huffed, rolling her eyes.

"Look, Miss, Baihe’s lips are so pouted she could hang an oil bottle from them," Yingsu laughed, her eyes crinkling into slits as she saw Baihe still sulking.

"Miss, Yingsu is bullying me."
