Chapter 928: Chapter 927: Conversation Between Master and Servant

After leaving Lin Family Village, Ah Jiu and her group swiftly rushed back to the Imperial City, entering the city gate just before it closed. They returned to the residence, and everyone felt quite exhausted, given that their speed had practically doubled.

“See you tomorrow.” Wufu tossed the reins to Xiao Li, waved at Ah Jiu, and headed back to her own courtyard with Jadeite.

Ah Jiu also went back to wash up and sleep, as there was a tough battle to face tomorrow.

Only a few guards and Hidden Guards remained, exchanging glances before dispersing.

Chi Yi and the others had complex expressions. They had raced back on horseback over more than a hundred miles, yet Wufu showed no discomfort or complaints, only a hint of fatigue on her face. This was quite remarkable for a woman.

This little girl was not as weak as they had thought.

“Let’s all rest.” They dispersed, realizing they needed to reassess their perception of this young lady.

…

Waking up, Wufu felt sore all over, having run too hard the day before.

“It’s killing ,” she said, sitting on the bed rubbing her waist. Indeed, she needed to intensify her training; just one horse run and her body ached.

“Miss, you’re awake.” Purple Jade walked in, smiling, “I have prepared hot water for you with dicine inside. Soaking will help relieve your soreness.”

Hearing this, Wufu imdiately hugged her waist and said fawningly, “Good Purple Jade, you’re so thoughtful. What would I do without you?”

Purple Jade was startled, then chuckled and teased, “Who told you to be so stubborn? Riding a hundred miles and not feeling sore?” Saying that, she helped her up and walked towards the cleansing room, muttering as she went.

“There’s no choice. With Chi Yi and the others by my side, if I seed weak, would they even respect ? Purple Jade, as won, to make n not look down on us, we have to do far more than they do!” In this male-dominated era, won naturally are weaker than n, and ensuring they don’t underestimate us is a daunting task.

Purple Jade wholeheartedly agreed. Just thinking back to her recent errands outside, those n often tried to belittle her simply because she was a woman.

“Shall I ask Jadeite to give you a massage?” Purple Jade suggested with a smile.

“No need, she ran around with

yesterday too, let her rest.”

“Then let

give you a massage. Although my skills aren’t as good as Jadeite’s, it’s better than nothing.” Purple Jade rolled up her sleeves and lightly pressed the acupuncture points on her shoulders, neck, and head, while updating Wufu on the recent tasks completed.

Listening, Wufu said, “It’s okay to acquire so manors, but it’s not about the quantity; quality is what matters. Even if they’re farther from the Imperial City, it doesn’t matter. These are all tangible assets. As long as the year goes well, there’s no worry about no returns.”

“I think so too, so I bought two estates. They’re not large, about a thousand acres each, with courtyards, and only thirty to forty li from the Imperial City,” Purple Jade said. “Around the Imperial City, most are held by nobles and powerful people. Unless there’s a major incident prompting a sale, it’s tough to find suitable properties.”

“No rush. You can have the Middleman keep an eye out, and they’ll notify you when sothing cos up.” Wufu closed her eyes, thought for a mont, and said, “Work with Chi Er, co up with a plan to investigate the Wu Family and Eldest Lady Wu’s properties, see what they generally have.”

Purple Jade was montarily stunned, agreed, and after a pause asked, “What do you think of the Wu Family, Miss? If, perhaps, with Madam… would you want to go back too?”
