Country Maiden: Fields and Fortune-Chapter 535 - , Fearful Heart (Update 39)

She still feared being conned.

In the business of treasures and antiques, there are profound pitfalls.

While she engaged in buying and selling in large volumes, to some it was just adding fuel to the fire, like being boiled over fierce flames.

The County Magistrate paced back and forth in the room with a stern face.

Fear resided in his heart, and he pondered how to bribe Xie Zhinuan.

If he couldn’t bribe her, he thought about how to make her leave.

“Why come to Gaocheng County and not go anywhere else?” the County Magistrate muttered darkly.

His heart grew ruthless.

Yet when he learned that someone had died in Sun Yian’s residence, his complexion turned incredibly grim, “Someone died again?”

“They were taken out of the city overnight yesterday and dumped at Mass Grave Mound!” the butler said softly.

“Damn it, damn it!” the County Magistrate cursed angrily.

It wasn’t clear whether he was cursing himself or Sun Yian.

“Go and bring that rebel son back!” the County Magistrate commanded grimly.

He felt terrible all over.

This was like pushing himself, an old man, to his death.

By the time the butler arrived, Sun Yian was still deep in sleep.

These young masters, when they indulged, knew no day or night. Happy to stay awake all night long and then sleep through the entire day.

It was almost as if they slept, woke up to continue their revelries, idling away their days without a care, apart from engaging in misdeeds. What else could they possibly do?

Having caused a commotion last night, Sun Yian was rudely awakened and not in a good mood.

The butler immediately approached, “Young Master, the old master wishes for your return to discuss urgent matters!”

“…”

Sun Yian frowned, looking at the butler and raising an eyebrow, “What urgent matter? What urgent matter could he possibly have?” He sneered, “Spit it out, which shop has he taken a fancy to this time?”

Still half-asleep and disinterested.

He waved a hand, “Just tell me which shop, and I’ll make sure he gets it by tomorrow!”

“Young Master, that’s not it!” the butler hastily interjected, not daring to reveal that something had happened at home, and that the old master wanted him to rush back.

“Not a shop? Then it must be a beauty!” Sun Yian yawned, “Understood, whose daughter is it? Name a place, and I’ll make sure he gets her soon enough!”

“Young Master, it’s neither. The old master wants you to return. You’ll know when you get back!” the butler was extremely urgent.

She also knew Sun Yian’s temperament; he would not just listen to him, but if she couldn’t take him back, returning alone wouldn’t fare well either.

“Alright, alright, you can go back with the message. I need to sleep a bit more!”

Having caused a stir all night, he was extremely tired.

He was about to fall back to sleep.

“Young Master, Jiao Meng was rescued, and one of the people watching him died. Someone moved into the neighboring residence…” said the butler as he watched Sun Yian suddenly sit up.

Sharp, dark eyes stared back.

“What did you say?” Sun Yian asked in a low tone.

“Jiao Meng was taken away. Those who sent him to the next residence were driven out, but they were short one old woman!”

Sun Yian raised his hand, disinterested in these trivial matters.

“You’re saying someone moved in next door?”

The killing intent reflected in his eyes caused the butler to shiver involuntarily.

In a low voice, the butler replied, “Yes, the residence was sold last night, and now a Miss Xie from Fengping County has moved in.”

Fengping County, Miss Xie…

Just moved in next door.

“Heh!” Sun Yian let out a cold laugh, “Go back and tell my father not to meddle in this. I can handle it myself!”

Just next door, huh?

How very convenient.

Suddenly, he was no longer tired; he felt invigorated.

He intended to visit Miss Xie next door.

“Someone, bring my clothes!”

The butler wanted to say more, but knowing Sun Yian’s temperament, further talk wouldn’t end well for him. He withdrew slowly, immediately returning to report the matter to the County Magistrate.
