Chapter 196: Chapter 195: Can't Write Nor Allowed to Read

Hu Jing knew exactly who he was dealing with when he saw Ye Xinyan's expression, and then noticed the empty spot in the courtyard where Wong Qiao and the tables had been. He understood what had happened.

He couldn't help but sigh to himself, thinking that for a small village to produce a figure like Qi Younian was already extraordinary, and now with the addition of Miss Ye, a rare specimen, no less. And now, they had also gained a brother and his son, both of whom seemed to be no ordinary individuals.

Within three years, this village would likely see the rise of a great landholding family, turning an unremarkable village into a bustling center of attention.

As Sixth Master's collaborator and the future Chief Steward, it was better for everyone if Miss Ye conducted herself with a bit more propriety. Pretending not to notice Ye Xinyan's mood, Hu Jing exchanged pleasantries with Qi Younian before they each bowed and took their leave.
