Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
On the day of the gathering, Yuezheng Xiao got a wagon to drive Shao Yunduan and Shao Xiaoqi to the venue. Xie Jingrong would be present there too.
He was going to keep an eye on Shao Yunduan secretly rather than stay by his side.
Qiao Xuan and Taotao decided to take this opportunity to travel around the town.
They wanted to buy a lot of things to plant for the dessert stores, and also needed raw materials for the lipsticks and extract essence.
Qiao Xuan was going to do business outside the county.
Now that they had come here, they were going to stroll around the place, while enjoying the scenery to see what they could possibly run into so that they would not miss anything.
She had a lot of savings. If she could buy a piece of land in the outskirts of the province or somewhere far away from home, she would benefit a lot from that purchase as well.
There would be a great deal for them.
The two girls rented the wagon which they had rented before. According to the coachman, there was a beautiful site several kilometers away from the center, so that was where they headed towards.
They asked the coachman to wait at the site, whilst Qiao Xuan and Taotao took a look around the place.
They seemed as if they were just idling around, yet with Qiao Xuan’s superpower, she was trying to pick the place where the plants could grow well and in large clusters.
Taotao was a bit unsure. She glanced around and whispered to Qiao Xuan. “Fifth Sister-in-law, are we safe here? Let’s just take a walk in the close-by area only, okay?”
Qiao Xuan chuckled inside her heart.
She was not afraid of any danger here.
She could receive a lot of help from the plants. One bad guy, and she would make those plants help her out quite effectively.
“Don’t worry, we are in the outskirts of the province, it is very safe here! There are many villages and abbeys here, no one would dare to do anything to us!”
Taotao trusted her Fifth Sister-in-law deeply, so when she heard what she said, she nodded and smiled with a kind of embarrassment. “Oh, in that case, I am assured.”
They were walking when Qiao Xuan suddenly turned to the eastern side.
She had a sense that beyond this stream, through that patch of forest, there was something summoning her, or, rather her space.
The space had not been this eager before. It was craving for something badly. Something extremely good must be present on the other side.
Motivated, Qiao Xuan took Taotao to walk eastwards.
They walked through the woods and saw an abbey.
The tall black brick wall separated the inside from the outer area, only some tall trees protruded from the wall with thick branches.
Looking up, they could family see the black root ridge and raised cornices.
Qiao Xuan was a bit confused.
The good things were inside the abbey that belonged to someone else…
She had no idea who owned the abbey, and she wondered what kind of people were inside the abbey. They could not just go inside abruptly.
They needed to be prepared before going in. She knew how to behave properly.
“Let’s leave!”
Qiao Xuan was not regretful. She bore this place in mind and would try to find out the owner of the abbey after they went back to the center.
Hearing Qiao Xuan’s sighing, Taotao assumed that it was because they could not continue since the abbey belonged to someone else. She consoled her.
“Let’s turn to another path!”
They had just walked a few meters when they ran into a middle-aged maid and a young maid, who were walking towards them companying a plainly-dressed middle-aged madame.
The madam looked tall with a long and thin face. She looked ill and seemed to have a preoccupied mind. She was walking with her head lowered with the help of the middle-aged maid..
