Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass - Chapter 136

Chapter 136: The Villagers’ Shock 6

Old Man Yuan pointed at Jiang Yeqian who was still seated on the carriage, reading a book. “This gentleman is the one who gave it to us, he said that it was given to him by the owner of the house.”

Ma Sanye, “???”

The owner of the house, was that not the Eleventh Daughter?

Master Bao rubbed his chin and turned his head to look at the house that was in mid-construction. In a tone of worship, he said, The owner of this house definitely has a deep relationship with this generation’s master builders. We will undoubtedly learn a lot of things once we complete this project! A master is truly incomparable, they are so clever with their design. How expected of a role model of ours.”

“…”

Ma Sanye gulped when he heard these masters sitting around together, singing praises for the great master’s work. The great master’s skill, the great master’s design, the great master’s everything…

All that bragging made Ma Sanye look like a fool.

It was not until the masters were done with their praises that they continued with their work.

Only then did Ma Sanye go back home. The moment he passed through the gate, he saw the many villagers who were waiting for him.

Old Man Wang asked first, “Village head, how did your questioning go?”

“I…don’t know what to say.” Ma Sanye licked his dry lips.

Old Man Wang replied impatiently, “Tell us then.”

Ma Sanye opened his mouth, wanting to share whatever praises that had been uttered by the masters before with the villagers but when the words reached his mouth, he did not know how to say them out loud. So, he just glossed it over, saying that the old masters had not leaked any useful information. The crowd lost their interest and could only leave.

The old masters had gathered that day and they could no longer hold back when they saw that they were done with that little chat.

The crowd egged Old Man Yuan on.

Old Man Yuan threw a glance at Jiang Yeqian who was sitting and reading as usual. The person came off too cold and he dared not ask him anything. He then looked toward Si Jin who seemed to have gotten very proficient with his woodwork and chose to ask him instead.

“Oh, Si Jin, can we get to know the owner of the house?” Old Man Yuan was already familiar enough with him to refer to him by his name directly.

Si Jin stood up and then realized that he was surrounded by these few old men.

Master Bao nodded slightly before saying, “Please allow us to meet the one who drew the blueprints once the construction is done… Oh, no, I meant the owner of this house. We are very curious about the lady.”

“What’s there to be curious about?” Si Jin asked.

Master Cao smiled rather obsequiously. “Do grant us this wish, we would like it if you could inform the young lady that we would like to treat her to a meal.”

“…” They wanted to treat her to a meal?

Completely travel-worn, Qi Qingzhu finally returned to the village by the time the workers had worked till mid-noon. Having taken one look at the tall building that was still in construction, Qi Qingzhu was greatly shocked.

Holding onto her bundle, Qi Qingzhu headed directly to the land that was under construction before even going back to the old Qi home. She only realized after getting closer that the third floor of the building had already been constructed. The building was really large and was exceptionally beautiful.

A beautiful house that sat above the rest of the village.

Qi Qingzhu took in the chaotic construction site but did not catch a glimpse of Qi Qingyao’s shadow anywhere.

“Excuse me…” Qi Qingzhu had frantically located an old man who was looking at a blueprint. She first offered a polite greeting before asking, “May I know where the owner of the house is?”

“So you’re looking for the owner as well? We’re also looking for her.” Thinking of this, Master Bao was morose.

“Is the owner not around?” Qi Qingzhu’s eyes widened.

Master Bao pointed toward the young man who was reading a book on the shaft of the carriage. “Go ask him, he works for the house owner.”

Qi Qingzhu first threw a glance toward the carriage before making her way over. She could already tell from afar that he was a handsome man who seemed to be shrouded in profound mystery. He felt even nobler and more refined than the children of the officials back in Qingzhou City.
