Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 675 - 374: Youthful Recklessness

Nightfall was gradually approaching, and apart from the whistling wind, there was no other sound in the corridor.

On the old tree in the courtyard, a few crows were perched. Not far away, under the bamboo grove, small yellow chrysanthemums were in full bloom. As the wind blew, the fragrance of chrysanthemums filled the courtyard.

Shen Qinglan and Duan Yunfei stood side by side in front of the courtyard, watching Xuan Ying and Le Zhao lighting the lamps.

"Why haven’t we seen Xuan Ming?" Shen Qinglan asked.

It seemed that after dinner, Xuan Ming hadn’t been seen.

Duan Yunfei laughed and said, "Aunt Mei just sent Ziyun to fetch someone."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan became interested, "Is it about Miss Bi Chen?"

Duan Yunfei said, "Most likely."

"We haven’t mentioned it yet, so how did Aunt Mei know?" Shen Qinglan was very curious.

Duan Yunfei pondered and said, "Could it be the issue with the cloak?"

"Cloak?" Shen Qinglan was slightly taken aback, then remembered about when she got a cloak from Xuan Ming for Bi Chen.

She smiled slightly, "Hearing you say that, I think it’s very likely due to the cloak issue."

"What are you two whispering about?" Le Zhao rubbed his hands together lightly and walked over with a smile.

"Nothing much," Duan Yunfei raised an eyebrow at him and said, "Any news?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Yes!" Le Zhao nodded, having just inquired with City Lord Luo, saying they had already arrived at Situ Mansion.

Duan Yunfei nodded slightly, "Are you going over there?"

Le Zhao shook his head, "It’s so late, I’m not going. I’ll see him tomorrow anyway, there’s no rush."

Duan Yunfei raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms, leaned lightly against Le Zhao, and laughed, "If Uncle Le hears you saying this, I’m afraid you’ll get scolded again."

"Tsk~" Le Zhao pushed him away indifferently, "Haven’t I been scolded enough times? That old man, has he ever spoken kindly to me?"

"Isn’t it all your own doing?" Duan Yunfei snorted, "You, for a year or half a year, never return to the Capital even once, leaving everything to Le Xuan, while you enjoy yourself as a carefree young master outside. How could Uncle have a good temper?"

"That’s his own thinking, nothing to do with me," Le Zhao said, "Besides, even if I’m a carefree young master, I’ve never used his money for enjoyment."

"I know you’re confident."

Duan Yunfei shook his head and chuckled, "Tell me, does Le Xuan really not know about you secretly doing business behind his back?"

"Whether my brother knows or not doesn’t matter, mainly as long as that old man doesn’t find out," Le Zhao sighed, "If he knew, I’d almost certainly get my leg broken. That old man shows no mercy whatsoever."

"Broken leg?" Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, "Have you ever gotten your leg broken?"

"Not exactly," Le Zhao smiled bitterly, "But it was close. If my brother hadn’t arrived in time, I really might have had my leg broken."

"Serves you right!" Xuan Ying gloated, "Who told you to go drink with flower companions in the pleasure quarters."

"Uh..." Le Zhao laughed dryly, "I didn’t think that old man would be there either."

Shen Qinglan tilted her head and asked, "So, you and your father ended up in the same flower house?"

"Pretty much," Le Zhao coughed guiltily, "Blame Yan Yijie for that, dragging me along for flower drinks."

Xuan Ying sneered, "If you didn’t want to go, who could force you? Frankly, you brought it upon yourself."

"Ah!" Le Zhao sighed lightly, "Wasn’t it just youthful indiscretion?"

Xuan Ying pursed his lips, "You speak as if you are now old and wise."

Shen Qinglan looked at the two of them and couldn’t help but smile, "Have you two planned for the future?"
