Chapter 922: 922 everyone’s fine lady
Li Rong’er seed to discern Xiao Yishan’s thoughts. His temper flared up, and his already resolute facial features beca even colder and more intimidating, truly frightening her. She couldn’t help but shiveringly nod in agreent.
Xiao Yishan poured the sticky soil in the corner and turned his head to look at Su Qingyue, only to find her busy spreading out the herbs on her own dicine rack, completely ignoring him.
Looking at Li Rong’er’s pitifully beautiful visage, and then at Su Qingyue’s face, full of spots and with a dull complexion, he didn’t understand why. Even though Rong’er was far more beautiful than Yue’er, he always felt that Yue’er was more captivating.
“Yue’er…” he called out to her.
She glanced at him, her manner distant and cold, “Second brother, do you need sothing?”
He looked at the weather, “It’s hot outside, don’t overheat.”
“I won’t, thank you for your concern, Second Brother.”
“Then you… continue,” he said, hoisting the carrying pole again and proceeding to transport more sticky soil.
The next day, just as dawn broke, Xiao Yuchuan, Xiao Yishan, and Zhou Fuquan began to construct the kitchen walls in the yard of the Xiao Family.
The entire Xiao Family compound was an irregular rectangle, with twelve rooms built laterally, offering a very spacious front and backyard.
A plot of one acre, roughly equal to six hundred sixty-six square ters, even if divided among three households, would afford each over two hundred twenty square ters, with plenty of room in front and behind each house—it wasn’t small by any ans.
Su Qingyue and Xiao Yuchuan’s kitchen was located in the top left corner of their designated plot, whereas the bathroom and the thatched house were in the backyard, each in one corner of their own designated land.
Xiao Qinghe had little desire to continue studying dicine these past two days.
His heart felt uncomfortably hollow.
His gaze constantly sought out Su Qingyue involuntarily.
anwhile, Su Qingyue had also noticed the loss and pain in his eyes and was sowhat avoiding him.
Xiao Qinghe searched for Su Qingyue all around the yard but didn’t find her. He sat alone in his wheelchair, turning the chair wheels and heading out of the courtyard door.
Around noon, a luxurious carriage slowly entered Wushan Village.
The cautious driver steered the carriage along the village road. Villagers, both near and far, marveled at the sight of such a splendid carriage and guessed who might be inside.
The driver stopped at a fork in the road and, after asking directions from a villager, continued driving on.
Villager Wang Qigu had just returned from the mountain with a bundle of firewood when she saw the gorgeous carriage. She asked the hunter Li Yibao’s wife, Li Wang’s wife, “The carriage that just asked you for directions, whose house is it going to?”
Li Wang’s wife replied, “It’s headed to the Xiao Family. As for whom they’re looking for at the Xiao’s, I don’t know.”
“Who do you think is in that carriage?” Wang Qi hoisted her bundle of firewood and peered curiously, “If there’s so young master or the like inside, you must watch out for my girl. Even becoming a concubine would be good enough…”
“Who knows who’s inside,” said Li Wang’s wife. “But judging by the fine craftsmanship of that carriage, it certainly belongs to the wealthy.”
Many villagers followed to watch the excitent at the Xiao Family’s new residence.
On the road outside the courtyard of the Xiao Family’s new residence, the carriage ca to a stop.
A decently attractive young woman lifted the carriage curtain and stepped out first.
Seeing the coly woman’s hair done in the double buns typical of maids, and her clothing characteristic of servants from a wealthy family, it was clear she was a servant.
The crowd gathered around, so standing far and others up close to watch the commotion.
Maid Du Juan drew back the carriage curtain, allowing Tao ijiao to step down from the carriage.
In an instant, the surrounding villagers went into an uproar, each one admiring Tao ijiao, “Wow, what a beautiful young lady!”
“With that attire and appearance, she must certainly be a young lady from a great landlord’s family…”
