ch 34.1 - Shocking (1/2)

“Why are you here?”

Chen Xiao Xiao stared at the visitor and frowned. She didn’t expect her one-time customer would show up at her house.

She figured out the reason in the next minute and stared at him alarmingly.

“Ms. Cheng, so sorry to bother…” Ko Yang felt a little bit uncomfortable under her gaze. But it was the situation that he had anticipated, “Sorry to bother.”

“Since you are here already, why don’t you come inside and have a seat?” Cheng Biyuan put aside his grave mannerism and nonchalantly invite the visitor into his house.

“Yes, I shall!” Ko Yang, accompanied by a couple servant, carrying with them many packages as gifts, walked inside Cheng’s family’s backyard.

Mrs. Cheng seemed to have wanted to say something but finally she sighed and silently returned to the kitchen to boil water for the visitors.

Ko Yang looked around from the small yard and saw a few simple straw houses. He didn’t seem to look surprised.

Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t pay more attention to the visitor but picked up a hand-written book and started reading. Luckily the written language here was the traditional Chinese that she knew and she didn’t need to start learning that from scratch.

Even though she was reading, she put all her attention at the visitor. She heard her father asked first, “We weren’t expecting you so I am curious as to the purpose of Mr. Ko’s visit.”

“Mr. Cheng, we do have a favor to ask!”

While talking, Ko Yang glanced over at the person with the book in her hand, smiled and continued, “Last time I ran into Mrs. Cheng and Ms. Cheng in the marketplace and purchased chickens and rabbits from them. Our master was very pleased with them. He found that your chickens and rabbits are tastier than others. I have been wanting to purchase more from Mrs. Cheng but, unfortunately, I have been waiting for days at the marketplace and never seen them again so I had to pay you a visit. I hope you didn’t mind.”
