Chapter 451: Chapter 453: Song Xiaoyue’s Attack (1)_1 Chapter 451: Chapter 453: Song Xiaoyue’s Attack (1)_1 When she arrived, she noticed that the door to Ye-ge’s room was locked.
He was probably still on duty and hadn’t returned yet.
She was about to retrieve the key from under the flower vase when she realized that there was nothing beneath the vase.
Nan Feng was puzzled.
Why had Ye-ge not left the key here?
In the past, when she stored any earned silver bills in Ye-ge’s room, he never took the key away.
Could there be sothing in his room more important than money?
So Nan Feng waited outside.
At that mont, Wan Jian’an’s wife appeared from their house next door.
Seeing Nan Feng, she politely greeted her, “Oh, you’re here.
It’s been quite so ti since we last t.”
Nan Feng responded in a friendly manner, “Yes, I’ve been out of town recently, so I haven’t had the chance to co by.
Are you on your way to get vegetables?”
“Yes, to get dinner ingredients,” replied Wan Jian’an’s wife.
Noticing Nan Feng waiting outside, she added, “Ye-ge has been on a different shift recently so he’s coming ho late.
And he has been carrying his key with him instead of storing it under the vase.
You might have to wait for half an hour.
Do you want to co in and sit?”
Nan Feng graciously declined, “Thank you, Madam Wan, but I’ll wait here.
It’s just as well—I’ve been sitting for a long ti, so it might be good to stand and stay alert.”
After a mont, Wan Jian’an’s wife suggested, “By the way, have you seen the blooming plum blossom in the garden downstairs?”
“Not yet,” answered Nan Feng, who hadn’t noticed any plum blossoms on the way.
Wan Jian’an’s wife then inford her, “It’s not near the entrance.
It’s in the small garden close to the County Lord’s house.
Master Song himself planted the tree for Mistress Song.
But Mistress Song said anyone who wants to see it can pay a visit.”
Plum blossoms were rare to behold in the south, so Nan Feng, intrigued, decided to go downstairs to have a look.
…
Nan Feng descended the stairs, passed through a narrow lane in the backyard and arrived at Mistress Song’s garden.
There were indeed several plum trees.
However, perhaps due to the climate, only a few blossoms had blood sparingly.
But to Nan Feng, the fact that Master Song planted the trees for his wife showed a remarkable thoughtfulness.
Despite the sparse blossoms and their lack of vibrant color, Nan Feng was captivated.
As she was admiring the scene, she heard slight footsteps in the garden.
Judging by the sound, she estimated that there were two people.
Looking towards the direction of the sound, she quickly spotted a blue cloak and a white dress erging from the garden pathway.
From these, she could already guess who was approaching.
After they passed a plum tree, the rosy, cold-kissed face of Song Xiaoyue appeared before Nan Feng.
Following Xiaoyue was a maid.
Song Xiaoyue noticed Nan Feng standing in the garden.
Today, Nan Feng was draped in a bright red cloak lined with snow-white fur.
Her face was radiant, emanating a lively charm.
Beneath her red cloak, she wore a pink skirt tied with a white ribbon around the waist.
Standing vibrant amidst the garden, she outshone even the plum blossoms in beauty.
Song Xiaoyue was montarily stunned but soon started to walk slowly towards Nan Feng.
In recent tis, she had heard a lot about Ye-ge and Nan Feng.
Ye-ge had occasionally stayed overnight at Nan Feng’s place, he had travelled back to the countryside with Nan Feng, he had gone to the County to see her…
