Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 588 - 587: What If I Can’t Cry?

At night, a cool breeze suddenly picked up, and the open window was blown with a rumbling sound.

Shen Qinglan got up and walked to the table, lighting the candle with a Fire Stick, then walked to the window, raising her head, and expressionlessly gazing at the night sky with sparse stars.

After a while, the room dimmed again, and Shen Qinglan turned back to look at the extinguished candle before glancing at the shadow outside the door.

"The wind is picking up!"

A soft voice came from outside the door, and Shen Qinglan turned around, speaking calmly, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and a white figure stepped over the threshold carrying a lantern, slowly approaching her, "Why not sleep a bit longer?"

Shen Qinglan smiled slightly, "I’ve slept enough, afraid I’ll be up all night tonight."

Duan Yunfei placed the lantern and a food box on the table, then looked at her, "Hungry?"

Shen Qinglan nodded, "A little."

"Just now, Xuan Ming went to the kitchen to fetch some food, make do with it."

Duan Yunfei opened the food box and took out the food inside.

A bowl of rice, along with stir-fried meat with green peppers, and a bowl of steaming soup.

"Have you eaten?" she asked.

"I’ve already eaten," Duan Yunfei replied, "I woke up during the hour of You, wanted to wake you to eat, but saw you sleeping soundly so I didn’t."

"Have they all eaten too?"

Duan Yunfei nodded slightly, smiled, "All eaten, just you left."

Just as she finished a bowl of rice, a Hidden Guard from Yongning Manor rushed to the door.

The Hidden Guard stopped at the doorway, panting heavily, "Young Master, the manor owner says the plan has changed!"

Duan Yunfei and Shen Qinglan both stood up, "What’s going on?"

The Hidden Guard said, "Just now, someone from Haoyue Manor contacted the eldest son, saying the action will be tonight!"

"Tonight?" Duan Yunfei sneered, "You go back first."

The Hidden Guard bowed and replied respectfully, "Yes!"

As the Hidden Guard left, Xuan Ming, Xuan Ying, and Le Zhao all stepped out simultaneously.

"What’s happening?" Le Zhao frowned.

"The plan has changed," Duan Yunfei said softly, "Heard that Chen Qi and the others will act tonight."

"That’s good!" Xuan Ying exclaimed, drawing his long sword with a clang, "I’m prepared for a big fight!"

"Put the sword away," Xuan Ming said sternly, "Watch out, walls have ears."

Xuan Ying, hearing this, sheathed the sword.

"Young Master, should we go to the manor owner’s place?" Xuan Ming asked.

"No need!" Duan Yunfei smirked, "If we go, won’t it expose my ’poison’ ruse?"

"What should we do next then?" Xuan Ming asked.

"No rush," Duan Yunfei said, "As the Young Master of Yongning Manor, if things go awry, others should come to me."

Xuan Ming’s eyes lit up hearing this, "Young Master, just give the command."

Duan Yunfei brought them in close, whispering a few words, and they nodded from time to time.

Le Zhao pouted, "What if I can’t cry?"

"Can’t cry?" Duan Yunfei’s lips curved slightly, "Xuan Ying, go to the kitchen and fetch some chili for Mr. Le."

Xuan Ying chuckled, cleared his throat, "Yes, I’ll go now."

Le Zhao’s face stiffened, hurriedly grabbing Xuan Ying, "No need to be that harsh, can I pinch myself instead?"

Shen Qinglan chuckled softly, "I have a dagger here, how about borrowing it?"

"Miss Shen," Le Zhao said with a gloomy expression, "We’ve known each other for quite a while, no need to rush me into bleeding, right?"
