Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 544 Assassination Second Shift (1)

The next morning, one person walked away refreshed and sprightly, leaving the other still in a deep slumber.

It was nearly mid-morning before the other finally opened her groggy eyes. With a slight movement of her body, she felt an aching weakness throughout, wanting to cry but having no tears. This was the consequence of her own indulgence, and she cursed the certain wolf inside her mind.

The bedroom outside was very quiet. Presumably, her husband had instructed the servants not to disturb her. Feng Xuxu wrapped herself in a bed sheet and quickly entered her space, leaping into the hot spring.

After soaking in the hot spring for a while, she got rid of the discomfort in her body. She got up, dressed in clothes prepared in the space, inspected the area, and feeling hungry, picked two of the smaller peaches and enjoyed them thoroughly.

Dugu Chen carried a bowl of millet and date porridge into the room. Seeing the empty room, he knew his wife had gone into her space. He set down the bowl and sat in a chair, waiting for his wife to reappear.

Having eaten her fill, Feng Xuxu emerged from the space satisfied only to see a living person standing before her. She rolled her eyes and said, "Are you blocking my way? Move aside."

"Heh heh, my lady, I’ve made your favorite porridge. It’s not too hot anymore, please drink it," Dugu Chen said, dangling the bowl of porridge enticingly in front of her.

Smiling at the sight of the porridge, dimples appeared on her cheeks as she winked at him, "I’ve already eaten, you have it. Be a good boy, step aside."

"Don’t say that; there’s only a little bit of porridge." Knowing he was at fault, Dugu Chen still blocked her path.

Feng Xuxu made as if to step left, and Dugu Chen blocked her left side. She tried to step right, and he still stood in her way. She wouldn’t be able to leave without finishing the porridge. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"You’re such a..." she glared at Dugu Chen, took the bowl, drank half, and then he allowed her to leave.

"Miss, the young lady came this morning but left when she saw you weren’t up," Zhu Lengqing reported dutifully as Feng Xuxu stepped out of the room and walked through the courtyard.

Feng Xuxu nodded, intending to visit her daughter but then turned and left the ’Lotus Garden.’"

"Big Sister!" The vast courtyard was empty of any maid or manservant in sight. Zhu Lengqing was about to go fetch Zhang Jiaojiao when Feng Xuxu stopped her and stood in the courtyard, calling out loudly, feeling like she had returned to the past.

Hearing Feng Xuxu’s call, Jiaojiao quickly came out of the room: "My lady..."

"Big Sister, what are you playing at!"

Jiaojiao’s cheeks flushed, and she playfully scolded Feng Xuxu, "You’re one to talk—as good sisters, you sure kept it a secret that you’re the Empress."

"Hehe, I may be the Empress, but I am still Feng Xuxu, your good sister. My heart hasn’t changed," Feng Xuxu reassured her, holding her hand, as close as ever.

"I can’t argue with you." The two of them walked and talked, with Jiaojiao vividly narrating the events that had happened in the Feng Family village over the past few years.

"Sister Zhu, where’s the Miss?" Mei Lenglei hurried over, saw Zhu Lengqing guarding the young master’s garden, but didn’t see the Miss.

Zhu Lengqing pointed: "She’s sitting over there in the flower garden!"

"Oh." Mei Lenglei quickly walked over to her, "Miss, the butler reported that the village head and the others have arrived."

"What time is it?" Feng Xuxu felt as if she had only just gotten up, and it was already noontime?

"Miss, it is already the third quarter of the 9-11 AM period."

"Alright, let’s go. Big Sister, you come with me too." Feng Xuxu nodded and then turned her gaze to her big sister. As the future manager of the villa, it was a chance to intimidate them and support her big sister while she was still here.
