Chapter 598: Chapter 598, Going Home (5 updates)
No wonder everyone aspires to be the elite, with authority, influence, and wealth.
It is not only about enjoying a luxurious lifestyle but also about an immense satisfaction on a spiritual level, for with just one word from you, countless people rush to do your bidding, fearing they might displease you by any mistake.
He Zhang, the two matrons, had already gone next door, and soon after, the sound of commotion could be heard. One of them said in a deep voice, "What’s all this racket? Quiet down, have some manners!"
Both women and children fell silent.
There was even a touch of timidity, and when they looked at the two of them, it was with utter caution.
"We are here under the young lady’s orders to take care of you for some time. We will be living together from now on. I hope everyone understands where your wellbeing comes from today and knows to be grateful. Don’t engage in such maddening behavior where you eat at the table but curse your mother underneath it!" Matron He’s eyes swept over them.
After exchanging a glance with Matron Zhang, she continued, "I won’t pry into where you come from or what you’ve been through. But if I find out any of you are causing trouble behind our backs, hmph..."
"Let’s go, the mule cart is waiting outside!"
The women and children followed suit.
They had never worn such comfortable clothes, eaten such fine food, or ridden in a mule cart; it was unthinkable.
In the mountains, there was no such thing as a mule cart to ride in.
They came out of the inn to indeed find several mule carts waiting.
He Zhang, the two matrons, instructed them to board the mule carts in order, without pushing and shoving, and to keep their voices down.
Shitou glanced toward the carriages and saw two more horses had been added. There were three horses before, and now there were two more, yet he did not see that beautiful girl.
Once on the mule cart, Shitou gently lifted a corner of the curtain and peeked outside.
Yuyu learned that they had boarded the mule carts and then followed them outside, with Duobao right by her side, followed by Chunyu, Lichun and three guards.
Duobao, carrying a bundle, walked silently behind.
He had thought that Xie Zhinuan would summon him today or be eager to ask him for things, but from beginning to end, Xie Zhinuan only gave him one glance and didn’t say a word, completely different from what he had expected.
He always felt that something was off, like it was entirely out of his expectations...
As Xie Zhinuan was boarding the carriage, she even asked Duobao, "Do you want to ride in the carriage with us?"
With a smile and a shake of her head, Duobao replied, "No, I’ll ride a horse!"
Riding a horse was much more comfortable, and she could also take in how prosperous Gaocheng County truly was.
And get familiar with it at the same time.
"Alright then!" Xie Zhinuan answered with a smile and got into the carriage, signaling for the procession to move out.
The entourage moved slowly forward, with one horse still unmounted, and that horse also behaved well, following obediently to the side without causing any disturbance.
As they entered the county, they indeed attracted discussion, but most onlookers simply made a few remarks.
"Who is that? They look quite impressive!"
Not just impressive—these days, not many can afford to keep horses!
The procession arrived at the gates of Xie Residence, where the gatekeepers promptly greeted them, "The young lady has returned!"
Xie Zhinuan stepped down from the carriage and nodded slightly, "Is everything alright at home?"
"All is well, everything is fine!"
Xie Zhinuan smiled and waited for the women and children to alight from the mule carts before taking them inside the estate.
"..."
The little children hardly dared to breathe, and the women felt the same.
Lu Yuyu’s eyes darted around, and she pursed her lips, her mind becoming more active.
But upon entering the estate, she felt that all her scheming was futile.
Aunt Chen and Mrs. Mou came quickly, curtsying as they greeted, "The young lady has returned!"
"Aunt Chen, these are Matron He and Matron Zhang. I have invited them to oversee their care. Please take them to get settled, and then assign a few maids and older women to attend to the two matron’s instructions!"
