Chapter 333: Chapter 334: Just Know How to Tease Others (Fourth Update)_1

Yamen.

This time, Wild Brother led Nan Feng straight into the front door. They entered the council hall of the Yamen Office and maneuvered through to reach the garden situated at the back. Beyond the garden stood a two-storey building, flanked by two large lanterns at its entrance. Guards and maids were stationed outside, while the sound of lively conversations filled the air from within.

Nan Feng asked Wild Brother, "Is this where the County Master lives?"

Wild Brother nodded, "Yes."

But his intent gaze still fervently lingered on her.

Nan Feng looked around before saying, "Just a lane separates this place from where you live. Does the County Master and his family usually use the front door or the back?"

"The County Master, of course, uses the front entrance. However, his family members take the back courtyard, which also has two entrances. They usually use the other entrance," he explained.

Nan Feng said, "No wonder I have never seen the County Master’s wife despite visiting here multiple times."

Wild Brother proceeded to enlighten Nan Feng about the disposition of the County Master’s household, "When you go in, you’ll see Lady Song beside the County Master. Below her will be her daughter, Miss Song. And further down, you will see Auntie Song and a young master."

"Alright, I’ll remember. I won’t embarrass you," assured Nan Feng, thereby pacifying Wild Brother.

Wild Brother chuckled. His Nan Feng would never cause embarrassment.

And even if she does, what’s the harm? He would still be there for her, wouldn’t he?

...

Inside the room, Lady Song had counted the guests and noticed that only the seats on the left side were vacant.

It seemed that only Wild Brother and Nan Feng were yet to arrive.

The recent influx of refugees in the county led to a funds crunch. As the County Master’s wife, she couldn’t afford to be wasteful and was intent on being as frugal as she could. The so-called `banquet` was nothing more than an opportunity for the familiar subordinates and their wives to enjoy a meal together. Even the wine was only a common Osmanthus Brew, nothing like the superior Nu’er Hong.

"Mother, why hasn’t Guard Xia arrived yet?" Song Xiaoyue couldn’t resist asking Lady Song in a whisper.

Lady Song explained, "Guard Xia has only recently finished his shift, and he needed to pick up his wife-to-be. That’s the reason for the delay."

Song Xiaoyue couldn’t help but grumble, "Can’t his bride-to-be come here on her own? It’s ridiculous that the entire room is kept waiting for her. She must think very highly of herself. What’s the big deal about having a bit of money?"

Lady Song teased her daughter, "Look at you. The room is full of guests who are chatting or enjoying their wine. If you weren’t so fixated on Guard Xia’s seat, who would know whether he’s come or not? He’s usually a silent man."

Song Xiaoyue pouted, then dragged Lady Song into another question, "What do you think Guard Xia’s wife will look like? Will she be tall or short, fat or thin?"

Lady Song couldn’t resist teasing her daughter once again, "Regardless of whether she’s tall or short, fat or thin, she certainly won’t be as beautiful as you. Look at yourself, you’ve dressed up meticulously tonight, haven’t you? You look delightful with your fair, rosy complexion and charming cherry lips. Who could possibly compare to you?"

Song Xiaoyue’s face lit up instantly, "Mother, you do know how to tease."

As they were talking, two more people entered the room.

Lady Song promptly alerted Song Xiaoyue, "Look, isn’t that Guard Xia’s wife-to-be?"

Song Xiaoyue quickly turned her attention to the entrance. The instant she laid eyes on Nan Feng, she was gobsmacked.

Contrary to her expectations of seeing a dark-skinned, scraggy country girl clad in linen and black trousers, she saw a statuesque lady with a petite, delicate face. That’s not all, this woman did not seem intimidated in the least. A confident smile graced her face as she scanned the room swiftly and then immediately focused her gaze on Wild Brother.

After sharing a brief yet intense gaze with each other, Wild Brother introduced Nan Feng to the County Master and Lady Song, "County Master Song, Lady Song, this is my bride-to-be, her name is Nan Feng."
