3064 Meeting
“Master.”
“Master, you’re back!”
“Master.”
They came in one by one from the outside, greeting Feng Jiu excitedly while looking at the other two people in the hall.
“Why don’t you introduce yourselves?” Feng Jiu didn’t introduce them to each other. Instead, she calmly observed them while playing with the child.
Making a self-introduction? Everyone was stunned for a moment before Leng Hua smiled gently and stated his name. “I am Leng Hua, the manor’s steward.”
“My name is Du Fan, and I am skilled at formation arrays.”
“I am Fan Lin, an alchemist and physician.”
“I am…”
After each had introduced themselves and their skills, they looked at Wanyan Shisan and Qin Xin.
“My name is Qin Xin. Master rescued me on the road. I have no other skills besides playing the guqin proficiently.” Qin Xin murmured. In comparison to them, she was so ordinary and unremarkable, and her face was still…
She couldn’t help but cast her gaze downwards as she thought of this…
“My name is Wanyan Shisan, and I am the thirteenth uncle of your master’s sworn sister. Simply call me Wanyan…” He paused, stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and continued with a smile, “Simply call me Master Shisan!”
“Master Shisan.” When they learned that he was the thirteenth uncle of their master’s sworn sister, they could not dismiss him. Master even brought him to the manor, demonstrating that he had some leverage.
“Qin Xin, since you’ve arrived here, consider it your home. Take your time adjusting to your place. Later, I’ll take you to a courtyard.” Leng Hua said in a gentle voice.
“Yes, thank you.” Qin Xin gave him a slight nod and a smile.
“Leng Hua, prepare everything for them; I’ll return to the courtyard first, and you’ll meet me in my courtyard later.” Feng Jiu stood up, holding the child, and gave Leng Hua instructions.
“Yes, Master. Please be at ease.” Leng Hua replied.
“That’s fine. I’ll take this opportunity to look around your manor.” Wanyan Shisan exclaimed with enthusiasm. As if recalling something, he asked, “No, where is your man? Why didn’t I see him?”
No wonder he felt as if something was missing. After some thought, he remembered that the man in this house had not shown up. Because the child’s name was Xuanyuan Hao, the father’s surname should have been Xuanyuan. Why did he not see the man? He was very curious about what kind of man could win over a woman like Feng Jiu.
“He is cultivating in seclusion and has not yet come out.” Feng Jiu answered with a smile. “If you have more chances to come here again in the future, you will naturally meet him.”
“That’s for sure. I didn’t know before that this is where you live. Now that I know, I’ll come over a lot more in the future.” He was happy and grinned as he thought about it.
Feng Jiu asked Leng Shuang to follow her, and she took the child with her back to the courtyard. Leng Hua showed Qin Xin and Wanyan Shisan around the manor and asked the kitchen to start preparing food.
When Feng Jiu returned to the courtyard, she asked for warm water to be prepared for a bath. Then she took the child with her to take a bath. The two flopped around in the bucket for a long time before finally getting out.
She handed the child over to Leng Shuang. After taking a little time inside to change into a red dress and restore her appearance, she exited the room. She looked so radiant that no one could take their eyes off her.
“Ma, Mama.” The little boy walked cheerfully toward Feng Jiu, but his legs shook the whole way. After two steps, he lost his balance and tumbled forward.
When Feng Jiu saw that he was about to fall, she immediately grabbed him and exclaimed with a smile, “I caught you!”
