Chapter 74 The Village Chief's Wife

The surroundings were awkwardly silent.

Ren Rude knelt at the wooden table, behind the hanging bamboo curtain's screen, while two maids stood quietly without making a sound.

In the western room, only Feng Yun sipped her tea in silence.

Endless resentment.

As Ren Rude chewed over the name of the tea, a sudden unease gripped him, and his wide-sleeved garment seemed to constrict upon him.

"It was presumptuous of me, I should not have brought up matters that upset the lady," he said.

Feng Yun looked up, her smile not fading, "Sir worries too much. I currently possess fertile lands by the hundreds of acres, a multitude of servants, an official position, and Mr. Pei's affection. How could I be sad?"

Ren Rude realized he had made another mistake.

The lady before him, who could amaze with just one look, had a kind of delicate and tender beauty that only a life of good days could nurture.

Pei Jue must dearly cherish her.

Only a good life could nourish such a complexion.
