Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 687 - 686: Le Zhao Gets Scolded

"Ah?" Situ Nan was a bit disoriented, "Why?"

Wasn’t it supposed to have nothing to do with him?

Luo Lingshu pretended to snort coldly, "No reason, I just get angry whenever I see you, so you should just hit yourself."

"Can I not hit myself?" Situ Nan said playfully, "Didn’t you say yesterday you wanted to walk through my garden? To make it up to you, I’ll take you today, okay?"

"I’m not going, what’s so nice about your garden?" Luo Lingshu pouted, "It’s not like I haven’t seen it before."

"Hmm?" Situ Nan raised an eyebrow, "So, are you saying you’ve secretly looked around when I wasn’t there?"

"I..." Luo Lingshu’s face turned red as she turned her head, "It’s Auntie who took me in, not that I wanted to go in myself."

Situ Nan chuckled softly, "Alright, alright, you didn’t want to go yourself. Then tell me, how can I get you to calm down?"

"Hmm..." Luo Lingshu pondered for a moment and her eyes suddenly lit up, "How about this, go to Chaotian Alley and buy me some chestnuts, make sure they’re sweet. If you bring them back, I’ll forgive you."

"I should go alone?" Situ Nan pursed his lips, "Why don’t I take you there, and you can eat as much as you want, sweet or salty, whatever you choose, how’s that?"

"How could that work? Sister-in-law is still... huh, where’s sister-in-law?" Luo Lingshu turned around and found that Shen Qinglan, who had been standing nearby just a moment ago, was nowhere to be seen, "Wasn’t she just here a moment ago?"

"Miss Shen has already left!" Situ Nan smiled, "Come on, I’ll take you to eat chestnuts?"

Luo Lingshu looked around again to make sure Shen Qinglan had indeed left, then sighed lightly and said, "Alright, let’s go."

After Shen Qinglan left that spot, she walked along the path; compared to the quiet of the backyard, the front yard was much more lively.

People offering toasts, flattering conversations, as well as genuine and fake smiles, all mixed together.

"Miss, why aren’t you joining the party?"

A servant of the Situ family approached and asked politely.

Shen Qinglan raised her head and glanced at the servant, replying in a calm voice, "I already ate this morning, I’m just out for a stroll."

"Oh!" The servant responded politely and then walked past her and left.

Shen Qinglan looked around and noticed a stone bench not far away, thinking that since they had just started dining, Duan Yunfei and the others should be just starting to eat, so she walked over to the stone bench to sit and rest for a while.

Who would have thought, just as she was about to sit down, a deep voice suddenly scolded, "Haven’t you had enough fun all these years? You want your brother to do everything for you? When I die, are you just going to abandon all the family assets?"

From the sound, it seemed like a middle-aged man’s voice.

"Dad, I have no interest in that, I don’t like being constrained. Don’t try to bind me with those things; I’m not a three-year-old, I know what I want. All those things big brother worked hard for, I have no problem with leaving them entirely to him."

"You—stubborn beyond measure!"

Wasn’t that Le Zhao’s voice?

Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow slightly; looks like he’s being lectured by his father.

She was about to turn and leave when someone called out to her, "Miss Shen, why are you here?"

Shen Qinglan turned around and saw Le Xuan coming out of the flower house nearby.

"Mr. Le!" She slightly bowed her head in greeting.

Le Xuan chuckled, "Hasn’t the banquet started already? Why are you alone here?"

"I ate quite a lot this morning and don’t have much appetite now." She smiled and said, "Didn’t feel like sitting while others eat, so I came out to walk a bit."

Le Xuan nodded slightly and said with a laugh, "Earlier, did you hear all of that?"
