“Perfect timing.” Dugu Xiyuan put down his teacup and stood up. “Let’s go welcome that lady.”
The two of them rushed to the front hall.
Although it was called the front hall, it was not far.
He was just a butler of a desolate land. His strength was not strong either. He was only at level two and could be considered an expert here. However, his quality of life was far inferior to some ordinary people.
Everything in the house was very old.
Su Huiqing and the rest stood in the courtyard and looked at the surroundings. They could not help but frown.
She thought that her imagination was bad enough, but she didn’t expect it to be worse in this place.
“This place is even poorer than our village chief’s house.” Lu Zhenzhen muttered softly. “Why can a territory be like this? Before I came, I even checked. This is the most prosperous place overseas a hundred years ago.”
This could be seen from the building beside.
Xiao Ba shook his head, but he followed closely behind Su Huiqing. He looked curiously at the few guards here. “I don’t know. It depends on Missy.”
Su Huiqing just sat on the chair, slowly knocked on the table, and started to think.
Yu Shijin calmed down. He had seen worse situations than this so there was no curiosity in his eyes.
At this moment, Dugu Xiyuan entered. When he saw that the two people sitting there seemed to have extraordinary auras, his brows twitched before he looked at Su Huiqing.
“This must be Missy.” Dugu Xiyuan bowed towards Su Huiqing before looking around. “I wonder where the guards Missy brought are.”
There were at least twenty guards in a team, right?
Why didn’t he see anyone?
Su Huiqing retracted her fingers and looked at Dugu Xiyuan with a faint smile. “I only brought two guards. Xiao Ba and Steward Dugu greeted me. As for the guards, they don’t want to follow me so there are only the three of us for now. The other four are my friends.”
“Only the three of you?” Dugu Xiyuan’s expression instantly turned cold.
Upon hearing this tone, Yu Shijin’s fingers froze. Su Huiqing glanced at him, pursed her lips, and let go.
Su Huiqing poured herself a cup of tea. “What’s wrong, manager? Is there anything wrong with the three of us?”
“There’s nothing wrong.” Dugu Xiyuan said mildly, “It’s just that Missy has just arrived and doesn’t know much about this place. However, since Missy is here, I’ll leave everything here to you.”
“I initially wanted to wait for two days, but since you don’t mind, I will take over immediately.” Su Huiqing put down her cup and chuckled.
Dugu Xiyuan also glanced at Su Huiqing with a faint smile. “I have already gotten someone to prepare a room for Missy. As for Missy’s friends, we don’t have any extra rooms here.”
“It’s fine.” Su Huiqing waved her hand. “We have our own places to go. The manager can just hand over the things to Xiao Ba.”
Dugu Xiyuan didn’t hesitate at all and immediately handed the item to Xiao Ba. He even reminded her, “Missy, tomorrow is the time to collect the debt. In the past, I had to put in a lot of effort to get the rent. This year, I’ll leave it to you.”
Su Huiqing glanced at him and nodded with a smile. “I will definitely be there on time tomorrow.”
After Su Huiqing left, Dugu Xiyuan sneered. “You don’t even have a guard. How dare an abandoned daughter of the Dugu Family act like a Missy in front of me? Since you want to act so badly, I will give you this chance!”
