Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 169 Xuanyuan Hidden Clan (3)

"Zhang Junyao seems to frequent his family’s villa quite often recently," Qiu Yuquan said, as though a thought had momentarily flickered through his mind, which he didn’t manage to grasp right away.

"A villa? Could it be that he’s planning to farm the land? He can’t be trying to join the excitement just because he saw the Feng Family in Longgang Town making money from farming!" Nangong Xiu laughed, shaking his head. If making a living from farming were that simple, why would the common people need to sell their children just to get by?

"No, that’s not right. As far as I know, there’s a Miss Feng at Mandala Villa who is responsible for the greenhouse vegetables and the sought-after watermelons," Qiu Yuquan finally remembered what that fleeting thought was.

"No way, Feng Xuxu has come to Zhangzhou Prefecture?" Could it be the lady from earlier? The more he thought about this woman, who embodied both beauty and intelligence, the more interesting it became, and he began to entertain the idea of settling down.

"Say, are you getting infatuated just because of this?" He couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of his friend looking lovesick.

"Such a rare beauty, are you telling me you’re not moved, Yuquan?" He cast a skeptical look at his friend.

"Even though she’s not just a pretty vase, she’s ultimately from a peasant background. Musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry—what does she know? Upon questioning, will she merely know how to farm?" Qiu Yuquan shook his head, considering the potential embarrassment he could suffer in public.

"Ha ha ha, Brother Yuquan, you’re still as sharp as ever," Nangong Xiu put down his cup, and thinking about such a scenario, he found it amusing indeed.

"But to be a concubine, she would more than suffice," he raised an eyebrow at Nangong Xiu.

Nangong Xiu was unconvinced that this woman would settle for being a concubine.

Feng Xuxu entered Yunyi Workshop and browsed the ready-made clothes at the counter. In the top left corner of the rack was a light purple dress. The craftsmanship was beyond reproach, and what made it stand out was the lace trim on the belt. The combination of bright colors with the subtle purple was eye-catching.

"Shop assistant, bring me that dress in the top left corner to have a look," Xuxu directed. The shop assistant followed her pointing finger, stepped forward, took the dress off the rack, and placed it on the counter. Just as he was about to pick up the dress, someone beat him to it. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Hey, our young lady saw that first. Hand it back," Yingsu said, glaring at the maid next to the presumptuous woman.

"Hmph, our young lady has taken a liking to that dress. You should choose another," the maid retorted arrogantly, provoking Yingsu with her gaze.

"So, if I say I like you now, does that mean your young lady should choose another?" Yingsu’s mouth curled into a sarcastic smile.

"You... Hmph, no wonder you’re from the countryside, reeking of earthiness. You think wearing nice clothes can cover it up, but it’s really laughable," the maid dismissed with a scornful twist of her mouth.

"So this is how maids from great families are trained. I wonder which young lady would have such discerning taste to pick you," Baihe clenched her fists and stepped forward with a smile, speaking amiably.

Wang Lixue shot her maid a dark look, then approached Feng Xuxu saying, "Sister Feng, don’t stoop to the level of the servants; they’ve all been spoiled rotten," she said, with a beaming smile, taking Feng Xuxu’s hand.

"Cousin, you’re thinking too much. I don’t bother with beasts. If she bites you, are you going to bite back?" She withdrew her hand, laughing as she looked at the cousin before her.

"That’s... that’s true. I didn’t expect to run into Miss Feng here. How about we go to a teahouse to sit for a while?" She said to Feng Xuxu, feeling awkward.

"Cousin, we’re not close, so I’d rather not. After all, I’m not used to hanging out with some animals, being a country girl and all," Feng Xuxu said mockingly.

"Can’t Miss Feng forgive the rashness of my maid? After all, what she said was the truth," Wang Lixue implored with teary eyes as the people around them drew nearer.
