Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 507: The Origins of Madam Feng (1)

The few people looked down and immediately reined in the proud smiles on their faces, no longer arguing, and stood respectfully to the side.

"Eh, why did you all stop talking? Is it because of me?"

"No, no, no, of course not," Huang Yi denied, shaking his head and waving his hands.

Xuan Yue also nodded frantically in agreement.

Xuefei noticed how they were obviously startled and even fearful the moment they saw the Princess. Although he didn’t understand why, he still obediently stood to the side with them.

Yueyue looked at them with boredom, rolled her eyes with a huff, and turned to walk away.

When Huang Yi and Xuan Yue saw the Princess leave, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They no longer cared about who got the first prey. If the Princess had not enjoyed her hunt and decided to turn back on them, they wouldn’t even know how they’d die.

Silently, the group carried the game to the kitchen and handed it over to the cook, then returned to their rooms to wash up quickly.

By evening, the entire manor was bustling. When Dugu Chen and Feng Xuxu arrived, the wild rabbits, pheasants, roe deer, pork, lamb, and veal were all ready. A bonfire was blazing on the ground, and everyone was merrily bustling around it, moving things back and forth.

Feng Xuxu took a detour, grabbed the busy Feng Xi: "Big brother, go call Aunt Hui and Sister Jiaojiao over too. It’s been quite a long time since I’ve seen them."

"Hehe, okay, I’ll go call them now," Feng Xi chuckled foolishly, put down the work at hand, handed it over to a servant, and instructed them to slowly move the wine over, then he took off running.

Dugu Chen wrapped his arms around his wife’s shoulders from behind, watching the departing brother-in-law with a raised eyebrow, curiously asking the woman in his embrace, "Big brother-in-law, what’s he hurrying off for?"

"Of course, he’s going to pick up his future wife!" Feng Xuxu raised her eyes, playfully blinked, and said with a pursed smile.

"Wife? Speaking of which, big brother isn’t that young anymore, why hasn’t he married yet?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Alas, when dad died, big brother observed three years of mourning. Just after the mourning period ended, and when he was planning on getting married, Uncle Hui suddenly fell ill and passed away. Sister Jiaojiao then observed another year of mourning, and just finished it before the new year," Feng Xuxu explained somewhat helplessly. As the saying goes, good things never come easy, and this had dragged on for several years.

"Big brother is really..." Dugu Chen didn’t know what to say.

"Hehe, my lord, I plan to visit grandma’s place after big brother’s wedding is settled," she chuckled.

"Okay, as you wish." Dugu Chen fully supported his wife’s decision.

Feng Xi saw that the door to Jiaojiao’s house was still open, strode in, and saw that tables were already set up in the courtyard with only dishes and chopsticks on them. It looked like Jiaojiao was busy cooking in the kitchen.

Zhang Yijiang, who was bending over to wash his hands, heard the footsteps and turned around to see his future brother-in-law standing up and shaking the water off his hands, he asked Feng Xi with a cheerful smile, "Eh, why are you so late today?" As he spoke, his eyes drifted towards the kitchen, his voice a bit louder as if meant for someone else to hear.

Not a moment later, there was a commotion in the kitchen. Jiaojiao stuck her head out from the kitchen, glared at her big brother, "Big brother, really now, come in and help with the dishes."

"Jiaojiao, stop busying yourself. I came especially to take Auntie—big brother and you are going to have dinner at our place," Feng Xi walked a few steps closer, standing at the kitchen door and said to Jiaojiao with a red face.

Zhang Yijiang whistled loudly, waggled his thick eyebrows, and gave Feng Xi a sly smile for a few moments. Seeing him more bashful than his own sister, he laughed unenthusiastically several times. For someone his age, seeing each other every day still shy, really now.
