ATBLM [QT] Chapter 153.1

They did not stay at Martial Arts Alliance for too long and set off to return to Mingshan Village before early summer.

Attacking the Demon Cult could not be achieved overnight. They still needed to wait for the right opportunity. All sects had to return to their place and secretly gather strength.

While everyone in Mingshan Village welcomed the Owner back, they also received shocking news: the Owner was getting married to an unknown little cook in the mansion. Not to take over the courtyard, not to take in as an aunt, but to be the real wife of the Owner of the village.

This was what the Owner of the village told the housekeeper, instructing the housekeeper to make preparations in front of many people after he returned home.

Therefore, within an hour, everyone in Mingshan Village, from the maid in the main courtyard, to the boy in the stable, to the people outside the back door, knew about it. And it spread throughout the village in less than half a day.

The whole village was talking about how stunningly beautiful the little cook must be to attract the Owner of Mingshan Village to marry her regardless of her status.

In this short time, Jiang Rui took a bath and took a nap.

Ling Yuan rearranged her residence in a courtyard next to the main courtyard, next to the garden where the two of them met for the first time. At that time, the garden was full of peach blossoms, and now there were many peaches on the trees.

Seeing her waking up, the maid served her cakes and soup to cushion her stomach. Jiang Rui asked the maid and learned that Ling Yuan was discussing something, so she went to the kitchen to see Mama Li and others.

Along the way, she met many people, both familiar and unfamiliar. When they met her, it was as if they were meeting her for the first time. They greeted her respectfully and looked at her covertly. After she passed by, they would definitely talk about it endlessly.

It had only been more than a month since she left the mansion, and the kitchen had not changed much. It was just as it was before she left. Before dinner time, Sister Zhang was washing vegetables in the courtyard, and Liu Liu was helping next to her.

The little girl was not very serious. Her eyes looked left and right. Suddenly, she saw someone walking in from outside the door. She jumped up, surprised and happy, “Sister San!”

Leaving Sister Zhang behind, she ran toward Jiang Rui. Just as she was about to smile and act coquettishly as usual, she suddenly remembered something and stopped abruptly. She pinched the hem of her clothes and called out again: “Hello, Miss Qin.”

This was what the housekeeper had just informed the whole mansion. When they see her in the future, they must respectfully address her as Miss Qin. After passing the door, they can change their address to Madam. They could not be as casual as before.

“It sounds awkward to me, so just call me like before.” Jiang Rui said with a smile, holding her wrist and walking inside to greet Sister Zhang.

Sister Zhang stood up and responded in a rather reserved manner, wiping her hands on her apron. When other people in the kitchen heard the noise and came out, their reactions were similar to the two of them. Only Mama Li looked calm.

Jiang Rui knew that it was impossible to get along with each other as easily as before. It would only make them more uncomfortable, so she did not force them. She joked for a few words and then went to talk to Mama Li alone in the kitchen.

“How’s Mama Li doing lately?”

Mama Li looked at her carefully and responded: “I’m in the kitchen all day long, and it’s like that day after day. But you seem to have lost a lot of weight. Isn’t this trip very hard?”

“It’s not very hard. It’s just that I don’t eat well outside. I always miss Mama Li’s craftsmanship.” Jiang Rui said with a bit of coquettishness.

Mama Li was happy to hear this, but she said: “I can fool you with one or two tricks.”

The two of them talked for a while, and the feeling of unfamiliarity gradually disappeared.

“What happened during this time? How did you and the Owner…” Mama Li asked tentatively.

Jiang Rui did not hide anything and told everything that happened on the road.

Hearing that they had been hunted down, Mama Li was very frightened, “Fortunately, it’s okay. You are too courageous.”

But having said that, if this little girl didn’t have such courage and dared to go down the cliff to find the Owner of the village, how could she have the current good fortune?
