Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 640 - 639: Lantern Festival (Part 2)

Yi Qianqian was very puzzled. She remembered that when she came last year, Luo Lingshu was very happy to see her, but why did she seem so indifferent this time?

She thought it over and concluded that Shen Qinglan must have said something to Luo Lingshu, and that’s why she was acting this way towards her.

Luo Lingshu withdrew her hand and snorted coldly, "Don’t think I don’t know who you’re insinuating. Let me tell you, no one told me anything; I saw it with my own eyes."

"Saw it with your own eyes?" Yi Qianqian was taken aback, "Saw what?"

"Last year, there was a little maid who fell into the lake in the back garden. At the time, I was in the nearby pavilion, and you were with that little maid on the bridge."

Yi Qianqian’s face turned pale instantly, and she lowered her eyes, speechless.

Luo Lingshu sneered, "Cousin, do I need to continue?"

Yi Qianqian forced a smile, "Since cousin has other matters, I’ll take my leave first."

"Wait!"

Seeing her about to leave, Luo Lingshu stepped over to block her path. "I’ll give you a piece of advice: best not to set your sights on cousin. Do you know what your parents did when my brother got married back then?"

Yi Qianqian looked at her blankly, and Luo Lingshu smiled, "They approached Grandmother to discuss it with Aunt yesterday, and then tried to arrange an engagement between you and cousin. Do you know what Grandmother said at that time?"

"Wha... what?" Yi Qianqian asked bewilderedly.

Luo Lingshu said, "Grandmother said you don’t deserve cousin."

Anger flashed through Yi Qianqian’s eyes at the insult.

Luo Lingshu continued, "Because that little maid was one of Grandmother’s own."

Yi Qianqian bit her lip in frustration but couldn’t say a word.

Luo Lingshu glanced at her indifferently before finally turning to leave.

At night, the streets of Bright Moon City were lit up with a thousand intertwining lanterns, bright as day.

On the misty lake, a large pleasure boat was approaching, decked with thousands of floral lanterns, each a different color.

Outside the pleasure boat, beauties danced, while Qian Liuyun and Lian’er played the zither and sang "Water Melody" on either side.

The crowd on the shore was countless, with children weaving in and out among the people, laughing and playing.

"Cousin-in-law, look, it’s Young Master Qian and the others!"

In the pavilion, Luo Lingshu held a flower lantern in one hand and pointed toward the pleasure boat, laughing.

"Want to go up for a sit?" Luo Tianhao asked with a smile.

Luo Lingshu said, "Not yet. Second Brother, I want more beautiful lanterns. Let’s go play lantern riddles!"

"Lantern riddles?" Luo Tianjie said awkwardly, "You should ask Big Brother or cousin for that. I’m not up to it."

"What do you mean?" Luo Lingshu pouted, "You’ve been studying for so many years, what have you learned?"

"What have I learned?" Duan Yunfei teased, "Naturally, I’ve learned to visit the pleasure quarters."

"Cousin, don’t talk nonsense!" Luo Tianjie said, "My dad takes your words very seriously, and if he hears that, won’t he beat me to death?"

"Am I not telling the truth?" Duan Yunfei raised an eyebrow, "Are you saying I’m wronging you?"

"Uh..." Luo Tianjie laughed sheepishly, "It’s not wrong, but isn’t it normal for men to visit such places?"

As soon as he finished his sentence, Luo Tianhao gave him a hard flick on the forehead, causing him to grimace in pain and clutch his head, shouting, "Brother, why did you hit me?"

"I hit you for a reason," Luo Tianhao glared at him, "You’re really daring to say such things. You’ve been in the Capital for years, skipping school to drink is bad enough, but now you’re hanging out in those places? I think you don’t want your legs anymore."
