C6 To be Coveted by a Snob

However, after hearing Mama Zhang say that it was someone from the Pingzhai Village, he finally remembered who Ma Chengzhi was.

He was only a few years older than her. They had gone up the mountain together to gather firewood and fish in the river together when they were young, so they were quite familiar with each other.

However, after she entered the Xu Family Villa, she didn't return to her Pingzhai Village anymore. Although the two places weren't very far apart, she gradually became unfamiliar with the people in the village.

"He must have something to discuss. Momo, please go out and ask him. If there's nothing important, there's no need to invite him in."

Zhao Yunwan flipped through the "Ancient Book of Hundred Herbs" without any intention of studying it.

Mama Zhang secretly praised him in her heart and then stood up to take a look.

But a moment later, Mama Zhang came back and said, "He said that he had something important to tell his young mistress personally. This old servant, seeing his dry mouth, doesn't think that he's lying."

"Oh …" "Is there really something wrong?" Zhao Yunwan closed the book, her eyes slightly focused.

"Bring him in for tea, under the pomegranate tree in the front yard."

Mama Zhang understood and immediately went down to make the arrangements.

When Zhao Yunwan came, Ma Chengzhi was already anxiously waiting there.

He was not very tall, and he wore blue shorts and trousers, as if out of place in the delicately sculpted landscape of the house.

When he heard the sound of footsteps, he subconsciously turned around.

A few women slowly walked over from the nearby eaves. Zhao Yunwan was the most eye-catching one among them.

Ever since he was young, he had known that Zhao Yunwan was extremely beautiful and delicate, unlike those girls who had dark skin and a sallow face.

She had a pair of very beautiful eyes, gentle and quiet, clear and bright.

She had a mouth of cherry powder, just thick and seductive.

She also had a beautiful oval face, white and lustrous.

Her long, curvy eyelashes were adorned with a charming air as her long, shapely eyebrows slanted upwards.

She was clearly wearing plain silk clothes, yet she seemed like a fairy that slowly approached. Her figure was graceful, and her appearance was cold and elegant. Her every move and gesture was captivating.

In his panic, Ma Chengzhi secretly pinched the center of his palm to prevent himself from continuing to be lost in thought, wasting such a great opportunity to please him.

"Young Madame Xu, it's Ma Chengzhi." Ma Chengzhi cupped his hands and looked a little nervous.

Zhao Yunwan nodded slightly and stood a few steps away. "If you have something to tell me, you can say it now."

Ma Chengzhi looked at the girls beside Zhao Yunwan when he heard that.

When Zhao Yunwan realized that he wanted to talk to her alone, her face immediately turned slightly cold.

Seeing Zhao Yunwan being so cautious, Ma Chengzhi was a bit annoyed, but he respectfully said, "I came to the county to be a guest at the Guest Cloud Restaurant. Today, a customer suddenly started to talk about you."

"From what I hear, they mean … Yes … It's because I want to lure you, plunder the money in your hands, and finally hate to abandon you. "

"I saw them discussing in secret. I was afraid that they might have many tricks up their sleeves, so they came to inform us."

When Zhao Yunwan heard that, she looked sharply at Ma Chengzhi.

Ma Chengzhi's jaw was tight, and his pupils had shrunk, making him look very nervous.

Zhao Yunwan frowned doubtfully and said to Ma Chengzhi, "Since you are here to inform me, why didn't you say it out loud so cleanly and instead said it when you saw me?"

"If there really is such a villain who wants to ambush me, isn't it my servants who can protect me?"

Ma Chengzhi was momentarily stunned as he looked at Zhao Yunwan with his mouth agape.

After a moment, he said anxiously: "It's not that I don't want to tell them, it's just that... However, the two customers said that it might ruin your reputation. That's why I was being cautious. "

After he finished speaking, he felt that what he said was unnecessary, so he sighed and said, "Forget it, you have so many people by your side to protect you. It seems that I am the one who is in trouble."

Ma Chengzhi deliberately raised the corner of his mouth. Unfortunately, that smile didn't reach his eyes and his face was full of awkwardness.

He'd thought that Zhao Yunwan would at least say a few words of thanks after he'd lowered himself.

Who knew that Zhao Yunwan was just frowning as she looked at him, as if she had just recalled something unhappy.

Until Ma Chengzhi walked out of Xu Family Manor's entrance, he still did not understand. When he rushed over to report this information, Zhao Yunwan should have been grateful to him for something as important as reputation and money, right?

However, how could he know that Zhao Yunwan had been intelligent and astute since she was young? How could she be someone who could be schemed against so easily?

Besides, Zhao Yunwan couldn't remember who Ma Chengzhi was.

But when she saw him, she suddenly had an impression of him.

Ma Chengzhi had a wide face and narrow triangular eyes. His lips were thin and light, making him easy to recognize.

In his previous life, Ma Chengzhi had sent her some bad rumors after coming to Xu Family Villa a few times.

However, after she had entered the capital, it was unknown how the rumors had spread.

Thinking up to here, Zhao Yunwan immediately turned to Mama Zhang and said, "If I don't tell you clearly like this in the future, you don't have to come and report to me."

Upon hearing this, Mama Zhang immediately agreed happily.

After all, Zhao Yunwan was still very young. She was worried that her mistress would avoid them if she had any thoughts.

It looked like she was already a vile character with a despicable heart.

Chun Lan and Chun Yun looked at each other and smiled inwardly.

Chun Xiang was completely muddle-headed and didn't know the deep meaning behind it.

Only Chun Luo snorted disdainfully.

She felt that if Zhao Yunwan had even set her eyes on a country bumpkin like this, then it would be better for this Xu Family Manor to have dispersed long ago.

After calmly passing through two days, it was indeed as Ma Chengzhi had said; two young men had come to Xu Family Villa.

First, he pretended to ask for directions and ordered two bowls of water.

Then he faked courtesy and gave Ding Yun and Xu Gui some silver coins.

Ding Yun and Xu Gui felt that something was amiss. After taking their silver coins, they seemed to have nothing to do as they listened to the two of them boasting and chatting.

When the sun had set and the sky turned dark, the two saw that Ding Yun and Xu Gui did not invite them as guests, so they left unwillingly.

During the latter half of the night, the two of them wanted to enter the manor through the back door and check if Zhao Yunwan was as rich as the rumors said she was.

However, just as the two of them jumped over the wall and entered the house, their legs were broken and they were thrown out of the villa.

In order to intimidate the rest of the small fries, Zhao Yunwan had specially instructed them not to send off the officials, and to have the two people wail out in pain and alarm the people from Pingzhai Village.

Sure enough, when Pingzhai Village heard the wailing and wailing, the village chief gathered many villagers overnight to investigate.

When they heard that the two of them wanted to steal from Xu Family Villa, there was another good beating. In the end, they still came out and ordered for the two of them to be tied up to send off the officials.

Ma Chengzhi's heart palpitated when he heard the news.

As a result, when he was serving the dishes to the customers, he accidentally served the wrong dishes.

After the customers had eaten, they patted Ma Chengzhi's shoulders and left.

However, the customers who ordered the dishes but didn't get to eat went to find the boss. Ma Chengzhi was scolded by the boss and his salary was deducted for a whole day.

When Ma Chengzhi wiped the table dejectedly, Nan Qiang, who was running errands with him, nudged him and indicated for him to look at the counter.
