Chapter 220: Chapter 221 Sister-in-law_1 Chapter 220: Chapter 221 Sister-in-law_1 The carriage stopped at the back gate of the Yan, where there were also two guards present.
Nan Feng was the first to get out of the carriage, then she told the guards that she was looking for Brother Ye.
What she said was Ye’s na: “Xia Ye.”
One of the guards looked Nan Feng up and down and then said, “Ah, you are looking for Guard Xia?
Guard Xia is not here today, he’s gone with the county lord to et the provincial governor.”
The provincial governor is equivalent to the leader of a province.
A pang of disappointnt hit Nan Feng.
She was just about to ask the guard when Brother Ye would be back, but the other guard asked: “Are you Guard Xia’s wife who has not yet passed through the door?”
Not yet passed through the door?
Wife?
Nan Feng, who before now had been quite composed, almost bit her tongue upon hearing the guard’s question.
She thought Brother Ye would, at most, say that she was his fellow villager, or relative or sothing like that.
How should she respond?
To say yes, or not to say yes?
Nan Feng turned her head to glance at Nan Quanyou.
Nan Quanyou did not get out of the carriage, he probably did not hear the guard’s words.
So, Nan Feng gave the guard a nod.
The sa guard looked at Nan Feng again before saying: “Then please wait a mont, I’ll go inside to announce your arrival.”
It wasn’t long before a man dressed in the sa official uniform as Brother Ye ca out, but based on the stripes on his uniform, his position was probably not as senior as Brother Ye’s.
He was also tall and well-built, in his early twenties.
His face was round, and when he smiled, his eyes would squint into a line, making him look quite friendly.
As soon as he ca out, he started calling “Sister-in-law” with a smile.
“Sister-in-law, my na is Wu Yang.
Brother Ye went with the county lord to see the provincial governor, but he instructed to wait for you here yesterday, and he made promise not to treat you with any negligence, otherwise he would find a way to punish .”
Is Brother Ye so authoritative in front of his subordinates?
However, Nan Feng felt awkward hearing Wu Yang call her “Sister-in-law”.
She turned her head back to look at the carriage again, just in ti to see Nan Quanyou peering out at them.
So she hurriedly said to Wu Yang: “Please don’t call Sister-in-law, okay?”
Wu Yang seed a bit perplexed: “But Brother Ye said you’re his wife who hasn’t passed through the door.”
“You also know that the wedding hasn’t taken place,” Nan Feng said, appearing displeased.
Wu Yang caught on quickly.
Since Nan Feng didn’t like this title, he wouldn’t use it.
He then asked, “So, what should I call you?
Brother Ye didn’t ntion this.”
“Just call Nan Feng,” she said.
“All right then, Sister Nan Feng… no, Miss Nan?” Wu Yang scratched his head.
Nan Feng said: “Whatever you want, just don’t call Sister-in-law.”
“Then…
I’ll take you to your accommodation,” Wu Yang said.
…
Wu Yang didn’t get in the carriage.
He walked ahead and Nan Feng’s carriage followed behind, but Wu Yang’s pace was so brisk that, despite the crowd in the city, the speed of the carriage was pretty much the sa as his.
Wu Yang led Nan Feng’s carriage through the busy city, and then into a lane called “Yongwang Lane”, located in the west of the city.
The lane was small, but there were quite a lot of people living there.
There were vegetable vendors, sesa seed cake sellers, shoe repairers, herbal tea shops, and it had a strong, holy atmosphere.
At the end of the lane, in front of a yard, Wu Yang told the coachman to stop.
He then turned back to Nan Feng and said smilingly: “Sister… Miss Nan, we’ve arrived.”
Nan Feng got out of the carriage and looked into the yard.
Wu Yang quickly explained on the side: “This yard is what Brother Ye and I found after several days of searching.
You don’t know how picky Brother Ye is when it cos to house hunting.
If it’s too expensive, he complains about the price; if it’s cheap, he worries it’s not clean enough; if it’s clean, he grumbles about it being too remote.
Well, this is it, Yongwang Lane, neither remote nor unfit for living.
There are four families living in this yard.
Recently, a family moved out and that’s how this place beca available.”
