Ms. Fang was not afraid of her. She smiled brightly. “l am not treating you as guests, right? We are a family.”
Qiao Kou got so stuck by her response that she had no idea what to say.
That was so shameless of her.
Even Auntie Ling and Concubine Du were shocked. This countryside woman was not very easy to deal with.
But when Concubine Du realized that Qiao Xuan had such an annoying mother-in-law, she assumed that Qiao Xuan would not be having a good time here, so she felt slightly better.
Auntie Ling still remembered their main purpose of coming here. So, instead of lingering over the minor thing, she smiled. “You are right, we are a family so we can help ourselves. The vegetables from the countryside are so fresh and we can have a good taste of them.”
“Yeah, you are right Auntie Ling. Take a seat, and eat as many fresh vegetables as possible!”
Ms. Fang spoke as if she were offering some precious food.
Auntie Ling just had no idea what else to counter back with.
Yang Xiaoni was not very happy that someone was here to eat lunch with them. Moreover, the dishes had no meat and there was no oil. Very basic fare!
The three women were not very used to the pure vegetable dishes served on the table.
After lunch was done, Auntie Ling asked Concubine Du and Qiao Kou to take a rest in the wing-room, whilst she had a private talk with Ms. Fang.
“Ms. Fang, in fact, Madame Qiao asked us to come here because she cares about Second Miss and her husband. We heard that Second Miss has bought many fields. I want you to show them to me, okay? In this way, we can tell Madame what we found.’
Ms. Fangs face sank.
Of course she knew that Qiao Xuan had many properties, but she was not going to show them to Auntie Ling.
Lipsticks were produced in the flower field, and those bee boxes kept there could earn them a lot of money, three times a year.
So, she was not going to let Auntie Ling know about any of these nor will she let her go and see them.
She was not going to show them the garden and the fruits, as well as other herbs as well. Those were all precious things!
She could not be taken to the mushroom house at the entrance of the village. Ms. Qiao had told her that things inside there were very expensive too.
Ms. Fang had no idea what was going on at the Zhang Village, but she heard that Young Master Yuezheng had sent a manager to take care of them, so those things were definitely good ones as well.
Ms. Fang understood what dilemma she was facing right now.
“My daughter-in-law did buy some fields, but those are not precious ones, and have few products coming out of them. What is so good about it? Why would my in-law want you to see them?”
Auntie Ling gave a very meaningful smile. “Ms. Fang, I am just following Madame Qiao’s order. She should have her own reason to do so. There is no way for me to ask her about it. Also, it is not a secret, right?”
Ms. Fang said to herself that it was, of course, something to be kept away from her in-laws.
“l am not sure what Ms. Qiao is doing. She uses the properties, and I never ask her about this…
That made Auntie Ling feel that something was wrong. So, she insisted with a smile. “l just want to take a look at them.. You don’t have any idea about where
the properties are?”
