Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lu Qi’s departure did not attract anyone’s attention. In everyone’s eyes, Lu Qi was just a good-looking person without any status. But Lu Xiu, who stayed at the banquet, was the real elite among the people.
However, in reality, Lu Qi was the real person in charge of the Lu family’s matters. Lu Xiu was just following his instructions in carrying out the tasks.
Whether it was one year ago when Lu Qi suddenly wanted to support the Cheng family, or now he wanted to deal with the traitor Chen Jin in the faction by himself, Lu Xiu was merely taking instructions from him accordingly.
Watching Lu Qi leaving towards the back of the mountain, Lu Xiu then only came back to deal with the people at the scene.
Cheng Ming was still humbly “promoting” his biological daughter, Cheng Xiao. Since Lu Xiu was sent here to deal with the matter, he naturally had to play this role well.
“Miss Cheng is so beautiful. Compared to a year ago, she’s even more beautiful now. She really stands out among the young ladies in the capital…”
These words seemed to have offended the other people at the scene. Didn’t “standing out among all” mean that only Cheng Ming’s daughter, Cheng Xiao, was attractive?!
Of course, since these words came out of Lu Xiu’s mouth, who dared to refute? Not only did they not dare to refute, they even pretended to agree readily.
The Lu family and the Cheng family were all big shots that no one could afford to offend!
When Cheng Xiao heard Lu Xiu praising her in this manner, her cheeks flushed red and she looked even more lady like.
She had always been very confident in her looks. She was pretty as a girl being raised up in a small family who was very obedient. Her mother, Xie Wan had told her that men nowadays liked obedient girls. If she could make the young Lu Xiu fall in love with her…
As a young girl first awakening of love thought of this, she worked even harder to present herself to this man in suit in front of her.
And the scene that was completely opposite of this was in the back mountain behind the Cheng family.
Cheng Ling and Xie Ying were living in a small villa at the back of the mountain.
Xie Ying was Xie Wan’s biological mother. However, after Xie Wan married into the Cheng family, she felt that Xie Ying was a countrywoman who was not suitable to show up in public. Therefore, she begged Xie Ying to live in the small villa at the the back of the mountain, which she considered giving her a good retirement life.
Therefore, Xie Ying, who was only in her fifties at the time, lived alone in the villa at the back of the mountain, until the Cheng family brought Cheng Ling back. After the Cheng family brought Cheng Ling back, they did not want to raise her. Therefore, Xie Ying brought Cheng Ling to her villa.
Cheng Ling grew up in the villa at the back of the mountain. She did not have much interactions with the Cheng family. She was a daughter of the Cheng family in name only.
After Cheng Ling left the Tang’s home, she walked slowly along the stone path back to the villa.
After walking along the path for about two minutes, there was a bamboo forest. The horizon suddenly opened up, and there was a feeling of a glimmer of hope.
The sky was getting completely dark, and the organized street lamps all lit up. The environment of the back of the mountain could be seen clearly.
Xie Ying was a countrywoman. Before coming to the Cheng family, she had relied on farming for her living. After coming to the Cheng family, she saw that the land at the the back of the mountain was fertile, so she also cultivated a piece of land. When Cheng Ling grew up, she handed it over to Cheng Ling to take care.
It was a small two-story villa of red bricks and tiles. The lights on the balcony were all lit up, and small flying insects were flying around the lights.
The farmland was just a few steps away in front of the villa, and the area was clearly divided. On one side, it was for planting vines, and on the other side, it was for those with sheds…
All kinds of plants and ingredients seemed to glow at night. Sunflowers, roses, cucumbers, and the most eye-catching ones were the peach blossom trees planted on the edge of the field.
There was also an ancient poem that said, “The peach blossoms flow with water and the fish are fat”.
March was a good season for peach blossoms to bloom. With Cheng Ling’s meticulous care, these peach blossoms were even more luminous, as if spring was glaring on the branches.
This place could also be called a paradise.
Cheng Ling went back to her room and took a batch of cucumber seeds sent by Professor Wu. She heard that these cucumbers had better effects than the previous batch, and she couldn’t wait to plant them.
Cheng Ling picked up her hoe and shovel and walked towards her own land…
Wait a minute, why did it seem like there were some uninvited guests?
She could ignore the identities of these uninvited guests, but if they stepped on the little tomatoes that she was about to harvest, and plucked her peach blossoms, she couldn’t just stand by and watch!
Lu Qi was personally interrogating Chen Jin, whom he had been monitoring all this while. This time, there was evidence to prove that Chen Jin was the traitor.. Lu Qi thought that there must be a story behind it, that’s why he interrogated Chen Jin personally.
