Chapter 1253 Young Master Li Is Here (5)
In addition to the five of them, the master and servant, there were also the farm manager Li Fengying and his wife Su, as well as several maids who did rough work. The old lady was afraid that she would not be used to the food in the farm, so she specially assigned her a cook and a maid who was good at making snacks. In addition, she assigned four guards to live in the gatehouse at the entrance to protect Xiangyun's safety.
Therefore, although the farm was small, it was not deserted. People could be seen walking in and out at any time.
Because there were men outside, Xiangyun did not go out easily, but only walked in the yard. After she walked for a while, Cuiping came over and said, "Madam, lunch is ready, please go and have it!"
Xiangyun nodded and turned back to the house.
These days, she was in a bad mood, and her appetite was not very good, so she ate light food. She only ordered the cook to steam a fish, stir-fry a dish of bamboo shoots, mix a plate of cold dishes, and have a bowl of Jianlian red date soup, with a bowl of white rice.
While eating, there was a sudden sound of urgent footsteps. Before anyone came in, Li Guanshi's wife Su shouted in the yard: "Young Madam is very happy, the young master came to see you?"
As soon as the voice fell, Xiangyun's face changed immediately. What was he doing here? Didn't she make it clear to him before leaving that she and he were irreconcilable in this life and she would never return to the Duke of Liguo's Mansion again? Wasn't her attitude firm enough and hadn't made him give up?
Xiangyun put down the chopsticks, Cuiping hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, and Cuilu handed over the gargle. Xiangyun rinsed his mouth slowly. When he was wiping his mouth with the handkerchief, the door curtain was lifted and Mo Zili strode in.
His face was a little pale, probably because the carriage was bumpy on the village road, and his brows were slightly wrinkled. When he saw Xiangyun, his tightly locked brows relaxed.
He looked straight at her and walked in front of her. The two of them were standing and sitting across a table, looking at each other without saying a word.
Xiangyun was wearing an ivory-colored outer jacket, a light yellow middle coat, a white Ruyi silk ribbon around her waist, a white magnolia Hetian jade hairpin on her head, a pure white pearl flower, and a pair of pearl earrings on her ears. Without other ornaments, she looked even more beautiful.
People say that if you want to be pretty, you need to be filial. In Mo Zili's eyes, Xiangyun's simple dress was many times more beautiful than those ladies with pearls and jade on their heads and silk and satin he had seen!
Mo Zili wore a brown round-necked robe with dark flower cloud patterns, a carbon-black belt around his waist, crimson pants, and a pair of black thin-soled soft boots on his feet. He looked cold and majestic, and he looked no different from before.
Xiangyun's eyes fell from his robe to the crimson pants that were exposed at the corner of his robe, and she couldn't help but frown. Everyone in the village followed her to mourn for Aunt Xie, and no one wore brightly colored clothes. His pants looked not only disrespectful to the deceased, but also a manifestation of his lack of remorse for his behavior.
Thinking of this, she retracted her gaze and asked coldly: "What are you doing here?"
Mo Zili knew that Xiangyun was still angry with him, and didn't expect her to give him a good face, but in front of the servants, he still wanted to keep some face, so he turned to the maids, glanced at them coldly, and motioned them to go out.
Cuiwen Cuilu and others were originally very afraid of Mo Zili. He was always serious and intimidating, but since witnessing Aunt Xie's tragic death, several maids have felt the sadness of the rabbit's death and the fox's grief, and they all turned their fear into strength and resisted his cold and terrifying eyes together!
