At six o'clock in the afternoon, Mu Lige and others, who had finished lunch, were drinking tea and chatting in the living room of the backyard suite.
"Brother, my wife and the others should have left Wuyang Prefecture, right?" Yu Xiaotian murmured as he looked at the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Well, it should be."
Mu Lige responded and continued to brew tea with his skillful hands. However, he did not drink it, but poured it all to Han Yichen beside him and Yu Xiaotian across from him.
Suddenly, Mu Lige's hand that was pouring tea paused, and his eyes, as bright as stars, glanced meaningfully towards the front yard, but then he calmly picked up the clay pot on the stove, poured some of the hot water into the teapot, and covered it with a lid.
"Brother, some people are coming, and judging from the noise, there are at least forty or fifty people." Han Yichen, who was sitting on a double sofa, narrowed his narrow and charming almond-shaped eyes, his face slightly gloomy.
"Have some tea, third brother." Mu Lige brought a cup of tea and placed it on the coaster on the coffee table in front of Han Yichen.
"Is someone coming? Is it the villagers who went to work in the vegetable fields?" Yu Xiaotian, who was daydreaming, couldn't help but withdraw his lingering thoughts about Hua Qingcheng when he heard Han Yichen's words.
"Xiaotian, have some tea." Mu Lige also brought a cup of tea and placed it on the coaster on the coffee table in front of Xiaotian.
A quarter of an hour later, the new housekeeper of Hua's house, Lao Qiu, hurried into the living room in the backyard.
"Master (corresponding to the male mistress, that is, the male head of the family), a guest is coming!" Qiu Fu bowed beside Mu Lige and reported.
"Well, who is coming?" Mu Lige picked up the teapot and slowly poured the tea into the glass fairness cup.
Looking at the fragrant reddish-brown tea in the fairness cup, Mu Lige's brows relaxed, his eyes softening. The Kung Fu tea set my young wife had brought from her house was truly fascinating, especially the tea-making process, which allowed one to concentrate and calm their spirits. It was truly a leisurely and enjoyable experience.
"My Lord, there's a man named Yuan Qiu, the local tyrant of Yunshui Town. The other person whom Yuan Qiu calls cousin is a stranger, but judging by her gorgeous clothes and the nobility revealed in her gestures, she must be from the capital." Qiu Fu reported everything in detail.
"They also brought fifty strong women to guard outside the house. Currently in the front hall are Yuan Qiu and her cousin. Her cousin is accompanied by two tall and strong male servants. Ming'er is dealing with them now. Father, would you like to go and see them?"
"A tall and strong male servant? He's probably a male concubine." Han Yichen snorted disdainfully.
"Well... I'm really short-sighted." Qiu Fu wiped the sweat that suddenly appeared on his forehead awkwardly.
The women of this female-dominated country were indeed more fierce than the other. He had only recently left Zhifan Forest with Qiao Zhiyuan and arrived in Huaqiao Village of Laifeng Country. However, Qiao Zhiyuan had already gone back, and he was left behind to serve his master closely.
"Well, third brother, Xiaotian, you stay here. I'll go to the front yard with Old Qiu." Mu Lige put down the teapot in his hand and got up from the sofa.
"No, brother, I'm afraid the person coming has bad intentions. I'll go with you. Xiaotian, you stay here and don't run around." Han Yichen also followed Mu Lige's pace.
Yu Xiaotian got up from the sofa and wanted to catch up with the two of them, but then he remembered that he had disobeyed his elder brother and ran out of the secret room, and was kidnapped by the men in black and almost insulted. He immediately sat back on the sofa and continued to drink tea, but his pair of bright black eyes kept glancing towards the front yard from time to time.
"Heh... I didn't expect that Hua Qingcheng not only cooks unique food, but also lives in such a unique style."
In the main hall of the Hua residence, Xia Houyu sat unceremoniously at the head of the table, with two sturdy male servants standing behind her. She seemed to praise Hua Qingcheng, but it was unclear how sincere her words were.
"Hey, when will your master come out?" Yuan Qiu, who was sitting below Xiahou Yu, looked at Qiu Ming impatiently.
"Hey, cousin Yuanqiu, you can't be so rude to handsome guys." Xiahou Yu glanced at Yuanqiu disapprovingly, and looked at Qiu Ming who was standing aside with a tense face and a lewd look on his face.
Although this young servant looked only twelve or thirteen years old, he was handsome and had a cool and aloof aura. He was exactly what she wanted. He was far superior to the pedophiles she kept in the suburbs of Beijing.
But thinking that she still had important things to do, all the other beautiful thoughts in her mind had to be put aside for the time being. She would have to wait until she finished the task at hand before doing anything else.
"Excuse me, what brings you to my humble abode?"
Just as Xiahou Yu's thoughts were drifting, he suddenly heard a very magnetic but cold voice.
Upon hearing this, Xiahou Yu and Yuan Qiu both looked towards the door, only to see a man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, wearing a crescent-shaped white robe. He had a tall and handsome figure, like an immortal, and walked steadily and slowly. Led by the housekeeper, he walked in from the door of the main hall at an unhurried pace, looking at them with a stern face.
There was a flash of astonishment in Xiahou Yu and Yuan Qiu's eyes, but before they could look away, they saw a man in green with a light and graceful figure and an extremely handsome appearance coming behind the man in white. Especially his pair of seductive eyes, which seemed to be able to bewitch people and charm.
"Isn't this... the great doctor Han from Xuanyi Valley?"
Yuan Qiu jumped up from her seat in shock, staring at the man in blue in astonishment. She still vividly remembered how, when she had instigated her group to go to Jing Hua Yuan Snacks to pick a fight, those who had feigned illness had turned against her because of this man in blue.
Mu Lige came to the top seat in the same row as Xiahou Yu and took the glass of water handed to him by Xiao Qiu. He took two sips slowly and then put it on the table beside him.
