Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 499 Danger, He Runs Away (1)

Yueyue noticed that her mother’s footsteps had not moved forward in the slightest, and just as she was about to step forward, her father grabbed her, shook his head at her, and signaled her not to disturb Feng Xuxu lost in her memories.

After a brief pause and looking at the familiar scenes, Feng Xuxu smiled silently to herself—it was exactly the same as before she left, nothing had changed.

"Is that Miss?" Xia Lian, carrying a basin, came out from the direction of the back garden. A few meters away, she looked from the side at the figure in a light blue flowing long dress, her hair done up in the style of a married woman, secured with only a Phoenix Step Hairpin adorned with a few scattered sparkling gemstones. She looked as if a fairy had stepped out of a painting.

Feng Xuxu slightly tilted her body to look at Xia Lian, who was standing in the distance in pink attire, and softly laughed, "I’ve returned."

Those words, "I’ve returned," sounded like heavenly music to Xia Lian’s ears. The basin filled with grapes crashed to the ground as tears of excitement started rolling down her cheeks. She hoisted up her skirt and sprinted toward Feng Xuxu, embracing her in a tight hug, "Miss, is it really you? We’ve been hoping every day for Miss’s early return."

Feng Xuxu blinked her large eyes, gazing at the sky with tears brimming in her eyes, and slowly patted her back, "Why cry? You should be smiling since I have returned."

Xia Lian held Feng Xuxu tightly, nodding vigorously with her eyes closed on her shoulder. After a moment, she managed to stop her tears and let go of Feng Xuxu, her voice mixing sobs and laughter, "Miss, please come inside quickly." Only Feng Xuxu existed in Xia Lian’s eyes; she hadn’t spared a glance for anyone else, treating them as if they were air.

Upon entering the hall and seeing the age-old furnishings spotlessly clean without a speck of dust, Feng Xuxu smiled gently. Even though she had been gone so long, her elder brother had kept the Lotus Garden as it was, and these girls proved their loyalty by keeping the place immaculately clean.

Xia Lan, gazing upon the person walking into the room, was instantly stunned, looking at Feng Xuxu without blinking, almost afraid that she was dreaming.

"Pretty sister, why are your eyes swollen?"

Hearing this, Xia Lan turned to see a younger version of the Miss and widened her eyes in astonishment, lowered her body, and said softly to Yueyue, "You’re so beautiful, sister likes you very much." Choking up as she spoke, her eyes reddened, and tears welled up from the bottom of her eyes.

Xia Lan, worried that her crying face would scare the young miss, stood up and respectfully greeted Feng Xuxu, "Xia Lan greets the Miss." No matter how hard she tried to hold them back, tears still streamed down her cheeks.

Feng Xuxu gently lifted her hand, "Just like your sister Xia Lian, both of you are crybabies. My return is a joyous occasion; you should smile more. Now go and wash up quickly."

"Yes, I will be back right away." Xia Lan remembered the many people still in the house and her face instantly turned a bashful red.

With so many people entering the Lotus Garden, of course, the vigilant butler of the Lotus Garden, Feng Shuhua, wasn’t overlooked. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Upon entering the hall, she saw the young Miss sitting to the right of the main seat, and on the left side sat a man of remarkable presence. With a slight turn of her head, she knew this was their master-in-law.

"Feng Shuhua pays respect to the young Miss and master-in-law. May you both be well."

Feng Xuxu momentarily lost herself as she looked at Feng Shuhua in front of her, remembering the teachings she had received from her in years past. Back then, Feng Shuhua’s head was full of black hair; how had it become streaked with silver in just over four years? She looked at her face, which indeed seemed older than in previous years.

"Feng Shuhua, please rise quickly." Feng Xuxu bent her body slightly as if she intended to stand up, but her current status did not allow her to do so.
