Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 82 Kneeling Down to Beg for the First Slot (10)

"..." Xuanyuan Jueqing pressed his lips together and obediently lay back down, still glaring at Feng Xuxu in front of him.

"Hey, I’m your lifesaver, don’t you know gratitude and repayment? Staring at me with those eyes. Had I known this would happen, I might as well not have saved you," Feng Xuxu pouted with indignation as she looked at Xuanyuan Jueqing.

"... Thank you," unable to withstand such a tongue-lashing, he simply closed his eyes.

Feng Xuxu rolled her eyes out of boredom, thinking she should get rid of this guy quickly: "What’s your name, where’s your home? So I can arrange for someone to take you back."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Jueqing tensed up in bed, then opened his eyes in confusion and looked at Feng Xuxu: "Didn’t you save me? Don’t you know who I am?"

"..." Feng Xuxu blinked – what was going on?

Pulling a smile that was uglier than crying, she held up a finger in front of Xuanyuan Jueqing, waving it: "How many is this?"

Xuanyuan Jueqing’s lips twitched madly, and his eyelids kept twitching, but still foolishly blurted out, "One."

Feng Xuxu smacked down by the bed, pointing at him with her delicate finger: "Damn, you know it’s one, huh? You, you’re physically impaired, which is fine since you can recover, but how come your intelligence has dropped too? Just because I saved you, I should know you? What kind of logic is that?"

"..." Xuanyuan Jueqing felt a string of sweat slide down his forehead. She really was a brutal woman.

"I don’t remember who I am or where I come from. It seems people always call me Jueqing," Xuanyuan Jueqing said in anguish, clutching his head in bed, sweat streaming down his face and his wounds cracking open, staining his outer garment. Seeing this, Feng Xuxu didn’t dare press further and called Baihe to rebandage him.

"Look, don’t think about it, consider me doing a good deed. I won’t ask for the silver for the Blood Ganoderma. Once you are better, you can leave," Feng Xuxu waved her hands and stared blankly at the sky, sighed, and walked away, leaving Xuanyuan Jueqing disheveled in the wind. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

In the scorching summer, Feng Xuxu looked at the full table of dishes and just couldn’t muster any appetite. Mother Feng was anxious on the side, seeing her young Miss not eating anything all day, her face so thin there was hardly any flesh left.

Yingsu suddenly remembered something, then quickly left Lotus Garden, and when she returned, she was carrying a large jar, which she placed on the table. Upon opening the seal, a sour smell burst out, choking Yingsu and causing Mother Feng to hold her breath in misfortune. "Mother, this is sour string beans that the young Miss pickled. You take it and see if she’ll want some."

Mother Feng scooped out a small bowl with a spoon, rinsed it clean, and brought it to the dining table. Feng Xuxu listlessly picked up some food with her chopsticks and reluctantly ate a few bites, "Miss, these are the sour string beans you pickled a few days ago. Have some if nothing else is appealing."

Feng Xuxu perked up at the sight of the sour string beans: "Mother, tell the kitchen to stir-fry them with chili peppers, then bring them back here."

After a short wait, the stir-fried string beans were brought over. Feng Xuxu took a small piece, and as she tasted the sour and spicy flavor, couldn’t help but eat half a bowl more. After the meal, she had the butler send a house servant to the restaurant to give it to Uncle Ma, including the recipe. When the servant returned, Uncle Ma had sent someone back with him: "Miss Feng, our Shopkeeper has sent us to pick up the sour string beans," he said, presenting a five hundred-silver note to Feng Xuxu.

Feng Xuxu had someone take it to the butler, and the tavern bought every jar of sour string beans for one silver note per ten catty. By evening, the restaurant finally took away all five hundred jars.

Another mundane day passed, and as night fell, with an ice basin set up in the room, Feng Xuxu stretched and got ready for bed. Just as she lay down, she heard Xiaobai calling her. Seeing Moli outside standing guard and sleeping soundly, she reassured herself and flashed into her magical space.
