Chapter 107 I have many servants in my farm, so I don’t need her to serve me.
Anyone who can make Yan Heng abandon Xia Xiaorou is the one she likes.
Madam Luo smiled slightly, "Come with me, I will take you to see Mr. Yan."
Xia Chunfang was overjoyed, "Thank you, Madam Luo."
"You're welcome." Madam Luo curled her lips slightly.
-
Soon, Mrs. Luo's carriage arrived at Yanyuan.
Because she was from the Anguo Mansion, the gatekeeper did not stop her. He only asked her who she was looking for. When he heard that she was looking for the housekeeper, Madam Zhu, he let her in.
Xia Chunfang followed behind Luo Niangzi, carrying a backpack. Looking at the prosperous garden in front of her, she dared not breathe.
Madam Luo looked back at her and slightly curled the corners of her lips.
A gatekeeper led them to the house where Madam Zhu worked.
Madam Luo walked into the room, "Madam Zhu."
Madam Zhu was also from the capital and was the housekeeper of Prince Yan's Mansion. Naturally, she knew Madam Luo.
Seeing Madam Luo coming with someone, she nodded and said, "Madam Luo, you are a rare guest. Why are you here?"
"I heard that Mr. Yan likes bamboo shoots and likes to collect herbs in the village. I happen to have an acquaintance who picked spring bamboo shoots and herbs, so I brought them to you to see." Madam Luo pointed at Xia Chunfang.
Xia Chunfang's eyes were looking everywhere, which made Madam Zhu unhappy.
Also a village girl, when Xia Xiaorou first met her, she was always neither humble nor arrogant, and never showed greed on her face.
But the young woman had a sneaky look in her eyes.
Madam Zhu nodded awkwardly, "Leave it there. I'll check it and give you the money."
Mrs. Luo smiled and said, "Thank you for your help."
Just as Madam Zhu was checking the medicinal herbs and spring bamboo shoots, Madam Luo nodded quietly to Xia Chunfang.
Xia Chunfang understood what she meant, and she tiptoed out of Zhu Niangzi's room and ran towards the back house of the garden.
After running a few steps, she saw Yan Heng, walking towards her with a man in gorgeous red clothes.
Xia Chunfang's heart was pounding with excitement.
"Mr. Yan." Xia Chunfang bravely ran towards Yan Heng, stopped in front and saluted.
Yan Heng raised an eyebrow, "Who are you?"
Xia Chunfang lowered her head, looking shy, "I am Sister Xiaorou's sister, my name is Xia Chunfang."
Ji Qingchen, who was following beside him, stared at Xia Chunfang's face and said with a smile, "Are you Xia Xiaorou's sister? Why don't you look alike?"
Xia Chunfang blushed, "I am Sister Xiaorou's stepsister. We are not born of the same mother."
Yan Heng looked at Xia Chunfang and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
"My sister... my sister is not in good health and has been taking medicine since she was a child. My mother is worried that she can't take good care of Yan Langjun..."
"Don't worry about it. I have many servants in my manor and I don't need her to serve me." Yan Heng said in a cold voice.
After saying that, he walked away.
Ji Qingchen swung his sleeves, "Yan Heng, walk slower! Wait for me."
The two of them walked away quickly.
Xia Chunfang stood there awkwardly, not daring to chase after him, but unwilling to leave.
It was not until someone came that she was so scared that she ran back to Madam Zhu's room.
Seeing her panic-stricken and disappointed expression, Mrs. Luo knew that she had returned empty-handed and smiled with contempt in her heart.
What a waste.
After leaving Yan Garden, Xia Chunfang thanked Madam Luo, "Thank you for bringing me to the manor, but... Mr. Yan is very busy, so I didn't have a chance to talk to him." After a pause, she continued, "If you need Chunfang in the future, just let me know."
Madam Luo counted on her fingers, "The day after tomorrow, the county magistrate's mansion will hold a banquet, and Mr. Yan will also go there. I'll take you there."
Xia Chunfang opened her eyes wide. Is there such a good thing?
Mrs. Luo looked at her and said, "You don't believe me and I'll take you there?"
Xia Chunfang nodded, realized she was wrong, and shook her head again, "No, no, no, no, I believe what the lady said. The lady is a good person, and she will live a long and healthy life."
Mrs. Luo raised the corner of her lips and said, "Okay, get off the carriage. The day after tomorrow morning at 11:00 a.m., you go to the village entrance to wait for my carriage. I will take you to the county town."
"Yes, madam." Xia Chunfang nodded happily and got off the carriage.

Xia Xiaorou was supporting Xia Xiaoying and doing walking rehabilitation exercises.
At this time, Xia Chunfang came over.
"Hello, sisters." She raised her head proudly.
Xia Xiaorou ignored her.
Still supporting Xia Xiaoying, "Sister, try to walk a few more steps."
Xia Xiaoying didn't like her, "What are you doing here? We don't welcome you."
Xia Chunfang glanced at her and said, "If you are not welcome, then you are not welcome. Do you think I like seeing you? I am here to talk to Xiaorou."
"Xiao Rou has nothing to tell you."
"In a few days, Xiaorou will take the initiative to talk to me. Because we will live under the same roof." After Xia Chunfang said this, she smiled proudly and walked away briskly with the backpack on her back.
"Xia Chunfang, what do you mean?" Xia Xiaoying shouted at Xia Chunfang.
But Xia Chunfang left without looking back.
"Don't pay attention to her, sister, let's live our own lives." Xia Xiaorou pulled Xia Xiaoying back.
Xia Xiaoying frowned, "But I always feel that she wants to hurt people."
"She can't make any waves." Xia Xiaorou laughed sarcastically.
In her previous life, Xia Chunfang was tricked by Xia Chenshi for her betrothal gift, and she lived a miserable life in the second half of her life.
The reason why Xia Chunfang was so active in this life was probably because she was bewitched by Xia Chen.
-
In the evening, Zhu Yun came to Xia Xiaorou's residence.
"My dear, you will take Madam Xia to the county town early the next morning. Madam Xia, please get ready."
Xia Xiaorou was surprised. "Going to the county town? What to do?"
"It's the county magistrate's wife's birthday, so my husband is bringing Madam Xia to the banquet." Zhu Yun said with a smile.
Xia Xiaorou calculated the time. At this point in time, it was indeed the birthday party of the county magistrate's wife. She nodded and said, "I understand."
"Madam Xia, you don't need to bring any gifts. Your husband has prepared everything. Madam Xia, you just need to wear suitable clothes." After Zhu Yun finished speaking, she left.
Xia Xiaorou returned to the house, and Xia Xiaoying said excitedly, "Xiaorou, you have to dress up well, don't let the people in the county look down on you."
Seeing her nervous look, Xia Xiaorou couldn't help but laugh, "It's not my first time going to the county town. I know how to dress up."
"That's different. You are going to the county town with Mr. Yan now, and you are going there as his fiancée. You have to be serious. You can't be casual." Xia Xiaoying reminded.
Xia Xiaorou thought of her previous life, when she had followed Yan Heng to attend the birthday party of the county magistrate's wife.
But at that time, she was not his fiancée, she was just an ordinary woman by his side.
She was dressed appropriately, but people still looked at her with contempt.
So, dressing up well does not necessarily mean you will be respected.
She has to show some ability so as not to be looked down upon.
"I understand, sister. I know what to do." Xia Xiaorou comforted Xia Xiaoying.
-
The day of the banquet soon arrived.
Xia Xiaorou got up early, put on the clothes she had prepared last night, and with the help of Xia Xiaoying and Chu Xianyun, she combed her hair into a very decent bun.
But she did not follow Xia Xiaoying's advice and wear complicated and gorgeous pearl hairpins.
Instead, she picked out a very common jade hairpin and a small golden butterfly hairpin and inserted them into her bun.
Xia Xiaoying sighed, "Xiaorou, you look too shabby."
"I'm attending a banquet today and I can't outdo the county magistrate's wife." Xia Xiaorou said. She was only Yan Heng's fiancée, not his legal wife. If she dressed more gorgeously than the imperial consort, the county magistrate's wife would find fault with her.
Xia Xiaoying suddenly realized, "Oh, I forgot for a moment."
There was a bell ringing outside the courtyard gate, which was Shanliang reminding the people in the house that his carriage had arrived.
Xia Xiaorou waved to Xia Xiaoying, and with the help of Chu Xianyun, she came out of the courtyard gate.
At the gate of the courtyard, Song Yanbai stood outside the carriage, talking to Yan Heng through the curtain.
Xia Xiaorou glanced at Yan Heng, lifted the curtain and got into the carriage.
