Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 905 - 903_1

Chapter 905: Chapter 903_1

Fang Wanping looked at Xiao’er downstairs, a trace of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.

So daring to provoke her! She is simply overestimating herself!

She should be grateful that this place was the Four Seasons Restaurant, where she indeed did not dare to cause a scene, because the hotel owner was the Marquis Shengping Mansion, which many people knew.

Who was Marquis Shengping? The father-in-law of Prince Rui! In the entire Minze Country, who dared to provoke Prince Rui?

But the humiliation she suffered today, she could not swallow it down! If she couldn’t settle the score here, then she would do it outside!

Fang Wanru turned around and went back to the private room, she had to ask her father to send someone to find out who they were. To actually dare to cause trouble under the Guan’s nose, they completely ignored their own status!

Fang Wanping returned to the private room, ordering Mrs. Fang’s maid to go downstairs and call Xiaoling back.

This servant girl was truly a liability, causing more harm than good!

Upon seeing her daughter’s troubled look after returning from the restroom, Mrs. Fang inquired what had happened.

Fang Wanping did not hide anything, and directly explained the situation.

Master Fang, after hearing this, couldn’t help but scold, "We have just arrived and don’t know who can be offended and who can’t; it’s better to keep a low profile, otherwise, we’d get ourselves into trouble!"

Fang Wanping obediently replied, "Father, I know, isn’t that why I didn’t argue with them?"

"Such poor and undeveloped areas, even the patrons of the Four Seasons Restaurant are of much lower quality than elsewhere! We will have to stay here for the next four years, dealing with these people. How are we to live!"

"All right, four years will quickly pass. Besides the officials’ families, if you find other people likable, you can get along with them. If you find someone disagreeable, just make up an excuse and decline any interaction."

"That’s true!" Mrs. Fang agreed after hearing this, and brightened up again.

Finally, she was in a position where she was second to none!

Downstairs

When Xiao’er came back to her seat, Zhu Yan immediately apologized: "It was all because of me. I couldn’t stand that mistress and servant at all. The moment they learned on the boat that my family was in business, they looked down on me so much that they almost couldn’t recognize me. I have no idea how I offended them, but they just wouldn’t let it go."

Shangguan Xuanyi reached out and took hold of Xiao’er’s hand under the table, his eyes questioning her about what had happened.

Xiao’er shook her head, "It’s nothing."

Such a small incident, if shared, would simply dampen the mood. Xiao’er didn’t take Fang Wanping seriously at all!

Jingrui looked at Zhu Yan: "What’s going on?"

Zhu Yan then explained how she had met Fang Wanping on the boat, how they hit it off well initially, but then Fang Wanping asked what her family did and why she was here. She said her family had been in business for generations and she came here to conduct business.

After this, Fang Wanping stopped talking to her and always looked at her disdainfully.

Of course, she also shared what had happened when they disembarked.

"I guess she looks down on businessmen and thought Xiao’er was one as well, hence the contempt for us.".

"People like this who are of poor character and overtly snobbish, are better avoided." Jingrui concluded immediately.

"I don’t plan on associating with her either. She and I walk different paths, we are simply not meant to be."

Why should she, Zhu Yan, warm up to those who looked down on her? She was not that thick-skinned!

Jingrui nodded his head and said nothing more. "Uncle Zhu, you and Miss Zhu have been on the boat for so long, you must be tired. Rest today, tomorrow I’ll have Xiao’er guide you around. I have just taken office, and these few days have been quite hectic. I’ll accompany you once I get some free time."

"You don’t need to accompany us, you just go about your business! We can wander about by ourselves! " Boss Zhu waved his hand, he wouldn’t dare to trouble a Princess to accompany them on their sightseeing trips!

Xiao’er laughed, "It’s no trouble, I happen to have some free time."

Hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyi tightened his grip on Xiao’er’s hand under the table, his eyes warning her: since when did you have free time!

Would rather accompany others than find a way to spend more time with her own husband.

Xiao’er’s hand was hurt by his grasp, she couldn’t help but retract her hand and glare at Shangguan Xuanyi.

Seeing this, Master Zhu hurriedly said, "Really, it’s not necessary. I plan to rest tomorrow. As I’ve aged, the long boat ride has left me feeling worn out."

"That would be good as well. Rest tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow Xiao’er can accompany you on your travels!" Jingrui suggested thoughtfully.

Master Zhu: "..."

Why can’t this be avoided? Would Princess Rui still accompany him on sightseeing trips? Isn’t this going to bother him straight to the grave?

After hearing Jingrui’s words, Shangguan Xuanyi shot a cold glance at him: His own woman and father-in-law are here but he doesn’t accompany them, yet he’s expecting his girl to accompany them!

There is no door, even the windows are closed here!

However, it didn’t matter what Shangguan Xuanyi thought, Xiao’er readily agreed: "Okay, it is indeed tiresome after a long boat ride, let’s do it the day after tomorrow then! Conveniently, I’ll sort out the data of the mulberry fish pond tomorrow, and the day after we might go and check out places suitable for mulberry planting."

Shangguan Xuanyi was left speechless: What’s the point of having a wife who’s not on the same side as him? Who could understand his feelings?

After their meal, Xiao’er took them back to the Garden Hotel.

Jingrui went back to the Government Office straight away for work.

Jingrui did have a mansion at the back of the Government Office, but it was not yet renovated. Besides, since he was living alone, and if he had to buy a bunch of servants for himself, it would be too much of a hassle. Thankfully, there was an inn at home, which was not very far from the Government Office, so he decided to live in the super suite of the Garden Hotel reserved just for him.

In the welcome hall of the Garden Hotel, they ran into the Fang family again.

Zhu Yan: It’s true, enemies tend to cross each other’s paths.

Xiao’er didn’t even look at them once and directly walked inside with Zhu Yan.

Upon passing by a waiter, he bowed, "The two superior rooms for the young mistress are ready. Here are the keys."

Xiao’er nodded in acknowledgement, taking the keys, "Thank you."

Master Fang looked at them, feeling that he had seen Shangguan Xuanyi before, but he couldn’t remember where.

Could it be because he had previously sought his help, and thus, he had some impression of him?

Not pondering too much, Master Fang stepped forward to request two superior rooms.

However, it just so happened that there were no superior rooms left.

Fang Wanping frowned, "I clearly heard the waiter tell a woman just now that two superior rooms were ready! Why do they have rooms and we don’t?"

The innkeeper stood up, "Those two rooms were reserved early in the morning."

The hotel would always reserve a few rooms for important guests every day.

"I don’t care, since you’ve given them two superior rooms! You have to give us two as well!" How could Fang Wanping accept being overshadowed in this instance by the daughter of a merchant?

Of course, the innkeeper could not agree to this; the two people just now were brought here by their master, and if he did this, his job would be at stake.
