Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 665 - 664: Ginseng Chicken Soup (Part 1)

The old lady of the Luo family slapped the low table beside her for emphasis, and even Shen Qinglan winced at the thought of the pain.

"What’s going on with this Master Qiu?" Luo Jing softly asked Madam Lu.

Madam Lu whispered, "He’s just a philanderer, with a house full of wives and concubines. Despite being over fifty, he still sows seeds everywhere. The grandmother of the Qiu Family has even moved straight into a temple, out of sight and out of mind."

Luo Jing frowned at these words, "Bi Chen is such a gentle and obedient girl. How could she survive in such a family? That Nanny Kong is truly muddleheaded." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Madam Lu sighed lightly, "Fortunately, those children haven’t been led astray by her. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know where to cry."

She never imagined that Nanny Kong turned out to be such a person. She used to seem amiable, but towards her own daughter, she is so heartless.

The old lady of the Luo family, still brimming with anger, said, "I always said, I would be in charge of Bi Chen’s marriage. Do you think I’m old now, and you can just ignore my words?"

Nanny Kong bowed even lower. "Your servant wouldn’t dare!"

"Considering you raised these young masters and ladies, I won’t hold this against you this time. But if there’s a next time, you don’t need to stay at the Luo Mansion anymore. Go wherever you wish."

Nanny Kong was stunned. She had anticipated the old lady would be angry but didn’t expect her to be this furious.

She relied on the respect the young masters and ladies had for her, believing that no matter how angry the old lady got, she wouldn’t drive them away. Now it seems she overestimated her standing in the Luo Mansion and underestimated Bi Chen’s importance to the old lady.

"You may leave now." The old lady rubbed her temples, helplessly saying, "If there’s nothing important, don’t loiter in the front courtyard. I will arrange Bi Chen’s marriage as soon as possible. When marrying off a daughter, nothing else matters more than finding a decent family. That Master Qiu is over a decade older than you, and yet you still had the conscience to claim it’s for Bi Chen’s good."

Nanny Kong got up and quietly retreated.

The old lady shook her head, "This Madam Kong, I once thought she was sensible, but who knew she turned out to be a fool."

She looked at Shen Qinglan and Duan Yunfei, "Fortunately, you were here today. Who knows what would have happened to Bi Chen without you. Sigh—"

The two of them smiled. Shen Qinglan said, "I wonder, how is Miss Bi Chen doing now?"

Nanny Xu replied, "She was a bit frightened, but she’s taken some medicine and gone to bed!"

Shen Qinglan nodded, "That’s good."

"Next time, don’t be so reckless!" The old lady lightly sighed, "It’s not as worrisome for the boys, but the girls should take care of themselves. If you catch a cold, it could be trouble."

Duan Yunfei nodded in agreement, "Grandmother is absolutely right!"

The moment he saw Shen Qinglan jump down without hesitation, his heart nearly leapt out of his chest. This girl was truly too impulsive.

Shen Qinglan lowered her eyes. She hadn’t thought much at that moment; she just wanted to save someone and jumped down, almost forgetting that it was already late autumn, early morning, and the water was extremely cold.

"When you return, it’s best to have Doctor Qiu take a look," the old lady said, "I have a 500-year-old ginseng plant given to me by your uncle on my sixtieth birthday. As an old woman, I don’t want to waste these herbs. I’ll have Nanny Xu use it to brew chicken soup for you, which I’ll send over later for you to drink."
