Chapter 509 Inquiry
Owen shook his head and declined the warm invitation with a faint smile: "Thank you, but no thanks. I came to ask, have you seen the Second Young Master today?"
"Second Young Master?" The middle-aged man nodded quickly and replied with a smile, "Of course I have. Second Young Master happened to be free today and came to sit with us. He even drank a pot of tea, asked about our revenue, and gave us a lot of good suggestions!"
Probably because she heard the conversation between the butler Owen and the middle-aged man, a middle-aged woman came out. She was the wife of the middle-aged man and also the female manager of this farm stay.
"Hey, Butler Owen, why are you here?" The female shopkeeper said this, then glanced at Nie Yao beside Owen and asked curiously, "Who is this..."
"Hello, I'm Nie Yao!" Nie Yao quickly introduced herself with a smile.
"Hello, hello..." The female shopkeeper took a closer look at Nie Yao in the light from the doorway and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "She's so beautiful..."
Nie Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Following Owen's words, she asked the two farmhouse owners, "You just said that Li Jinxing came to your place. I wonder when he came and when he left?"
"He came in the afternoon. What time was he..." The male boss looked at his wife. The female manager answered hesitantly, "It seemed to be before four o'clock. He left after four o'clock..."
"Did he tell you where he was going later?" Owen asked quickly.
"Looks like he's going to check on other people's harvests..." The male boss patted his head and added, "Oh, by the way, when I was chatting with the Second Young Master, someone came to see him and whispered something to him. He then left in a hurry!"
Nie Yao frowned slightly, and exchanged a glance with the butler Owen. They asked in unison, "Who is coming to see him? What does he look like?"
"He's wearing a hat, about medium height, with a beard..." The male boss gestured, and the female shopkeeper next to him reminded him, "I think that man looks a bit like Lin Fugui's father..."
"Nonsense!" The male boss glared at his wife, shook his head and said jokingly, "His father is already old, how could I not recognize him? This man is obviously about the same age as me..."
"Could it be Lin Fugui himself?" The female shopkeeper curled her lips and muttered softly, "Didn't he leave here, saying that farm work was not for human beings and that he was going out to pursue a better life? When did he come back?"
"Who knows..." The male boss shrugged and said to the butler Owen with an apologetic smile, "That man came and went in a hurry, and I didn't ask his name, but it's probably what I said. I saw that the second young master said goodbye to us not long after he left. Maybe what he was going to do is related to that person!"
Nie Yao was still a little confused, but the housekeeper Owen had already guessed something and smiled and thanked the middle-aged couple, "Thank you very much, both of you. I won't bother you any longer!"
"Okay, Butler Owen, you're busy. Come and have dinner with us when you have time!" The couple waved goodbye to Owen and Nie Yao, their attitude as attentive as ever.
It wasn't until they got in the car that the couple looked away and sighed, "My God, the man next to Butler Owen is so handsome. I've never seen him before..."
"That's right, and he seems very polite. Could he be brought back by the Second Young Master?"
