Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 684 - 683: Apprehension

Others she did not know, but she had heard Lord Ning speak of Yongning Manor destroying Haoyue Manor overnight. At that time, Lord Ning had said that anyone could be offended, except Yongning Manor.

"Mother, what’s wrong with you?" Ning Lan frowned, not understanding why her fearless mother suddenly turned pale.

"Oh~" Madame Ning covered her forehead and murmured, "My old ailment is acting up again!"

She looked up at Old Lady Situ and said, "Old Lady, I’m not feeling well, so I’ll head back first. Another day, I’ll bring Lan’er to visit."

Knowing that she was scared and wanted to escape under the pretext, Old Lady Situ, though disdainful in her heart, said on the surface, "Since you’re not well, go back and rest. Aunt Ji, you escort Madame Ning and Miss Ning."

The old maid beside Old Lady Situ responded promptly, stepped forward, and made a gesture of invitation to the two, "Ladies, please follow this old servant."

Ning Lan frowned, feeling somewhat displeased. Why was Luo Lingshu and Shen Qinglan allowed to stay, yet they had to leave first?

"Mother, didn’t you just say you didn’t want to leave? And what’s wrong with you? Why do you have that expression?"

"Do you know that Miss Shen?" Madame Ning asked solemnly.

"I’ve seen her once. It was she who stopped me from taking Young Master Qian away."

Ning Lan clearly remembered how Shen Qinglan had prevented her from taking Qian Liuyun. Thinking of Qian Liuyun’s tall and graceful figure, along with his exceptional looks, Ning Lan’s resentment toward Shen Qinglan unconsciously soared.

Madame Ning warned seriously, "Lan’er, let me tell you, next time you see that young lady, do not approach her. She’s not someone simple."

"Not simple?" Ning Lan was puzzled, "I didn’t see anything not simple about her, except for that vixen-like face, what’s so special?"

"I’m not joking with you!" Madame Ning said earnestly, "Remember your mother’s words well. It’s best not to provoke that young lady. Luo Lingshu is still alright, her temperament is pure and she doesn’t hold grudges, but that young lady walks on the edge of danger, absolutely don’t provoke her."

Madame Ning had never seen Shen Qinglan, but in the past two years, there was suddenly a highly skilled martial artist by the Young Master’s side, and this person also wielded a special weapon. Even the Heavenly Killer Sect feared her to some extent, this was almost common knowledge in the Jianghu.

Though Lord Ning was merely a minor family head in Bright Moon City, he was considered half a person of the Jianghu, having heard many things about it. Naturally, Madame Ning, as his wife, had heard some of it too.

"Did you hear clearly?" Seeing her daughter’s indifferent attitude, Madame Ning couldn’t help but raise her voice, "Whatever you do usually, your father and I won’t interfere, but from now on, regarding matters of the Luo Mansion, whether guests or anyone else, it’s best you don’t provoke."

She whispered, "As for the incident on the Lantern Festival, I’ll have your father personally go to the Luo Mansion to apologize to that young master. As for you, stay on your best behavior these few days."

Though Ning Lan was foolish, she wasn’t beyond redemption. She knew from her mother’s severe tone that Shen Qinglan was truly not to be messed with.

She nodded slightly, "I understand, Mother, I won’t provoke anyone."

"Good girl!" Madame Ning gently stroked her daughter’s head and smiled with satisfaction.

Following behind the two, Aunt Ji, having listened all the way, was also surprised. She didn’t expect that seemingly gentle and quiet young lady could make the always overbearing Madame Ning so apprehensive.
