Allure of a Country Maiden

Chapter 1278: Chapter 1275_1 Chapter 1278: Chapter 1275_1 Upon hearing that the Empress Dowager had sent gifts for the children’s birthdays, Shangguan Xuanyi instructed his servants to bring the presents inside the room.

It was Zhang Qingqing’s first time setting foot in the Wang Mansion, and as she walked from the front yard through the exquisitely picturesque garden, she was utterly mesmerized by the enchanting scenery!

If the Imperial Garden in the Imperial Palace represented magnificent opulence and affluent luxury, then the garden here portrayed an everywhere-present ethereal charm, teeming with life, that lifted the spirits.

What a joy it would be to live here all my life, Zhang Qingqing thought.

She strolled around for nearly half an hour before stopping, finding her eyes insufficient to take in all the beauty around her, and felt somewhat unfulfilled.

Then she saw the figure standing in front of the room and her eyes lit up!

Today, Shangguan Xuanyi was dressed in white, tall and upright, like a celestial being, overshadowing the entire garden with his presence.

Zhang Qingqing’s heart pounded nervously, her face flushed as she approached and curtseyed, “Your humble servant pays her respects to Prince Rui…”

Her presence simply annoyed Shangguan Xuanyi.

His face instantly turned cold with an intimidating aura that made it hard to breathe, “Since when are dogs allowed into the mansion?!”

Did she come intentionally to irritate him?

Shangguan Xuanyi was infuriated to see Zhang Qingqing in his territory!

Zhang Qingqing was in the middle of her curtsey when she froze in shock!

Dog?

Was that an insult at her?

However, Prince Rui’s anger was terrifying to behold.

She dare not speak further and remained half-squatting, with her head bowed.
