Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 692 - 691: Was Everything Smooth?

The strained relationship between Master Le and Le Zhao was almost no secret in the Capital, Xuan Ming had also heard about it.

Nonetheless, he could tell that Le Zhao still held a great amount of respect, perhaps even anticipation, for Master Le.

For example, over the past few days, knowing that Master Le and Le Xuan were coming, he mentioned it several times and often had people keep an eye out for their arrival in Bright Moon City.

Xuan Ming bowed his head in thought, before finally looking at Duan Yunfei and Shen Qinglan and saying, "Did Master Le mention anything about Little Ying?"

Duan Yunfei sighed lightly, "Indeed, nothing escapes you."

Xuan Ming chuckled softly, "It seems that Young Master Le has chosen Little Ying."

"Let’s set that aside for now," Shen Qinglan looked at him and asked, "How about your own matters? Are they going smoothly?"

Talking about his own affairs, Xuan Ming couldn’t help but feel a bit bashful.

He smiled and replied, "They’re going quite smoothly."

"Oh?" Duan Yunfei raised an eyebrow, "Does that mean the matter with Miss Bi Chen is resolved as well?"

Xuan Ming nodded, "Yes!"

"Was it a direct proposal, or according to the original plan?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"A direct proposal." Xuan Ming said, "Initially, I was waiting to see Miss Bi Chen’s intentions, but since she agreed, there was no reason to proceed furtively."

Duan Yunfei raised an eyebrow, "And the betrothal gift..."

Xuan Ming replied, "The old madam instructed to give twenty taels to Maid Kong, as a token of gratitude for her nurturance."

Saying it was gratitude for nurturance, in truth, it was to sever the tie for Bi Chen.

"Is that it?" Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow.

"That’s it!" Xuan Ming said, "The old madam said that if there were other betrothal gifts, they would still have to be delivered to Yongning Manor, which is troublesome. Why not keep it simple? The old madam also said that my mother is good and wouldn’t lack anything for Miss Bi Chen."

Shen Qinglan chuckled softly, "The old madam is indeed thoughtful."

"By the way!" Xuan Ming looked at the two and asked, "Did madam ask me to confirm whether you’re returning to Jinxi Town tomorrow?"

"Yes!" Duan Yunfei said, "It’s already late September, it’s best to return early, otherwise if it snows, traveling won’t be easy."

Xuan Ming nodded, "I shall go notify madam then."

He walked a few steps, then turned back to ask, "Should I mention this to Young Master Qian as well?"

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Please do."

Xuan Ming nodded approvingly before continuing to leave.

Duan Yunfei turned his head to look at Shen Qinglan, speaking in a slightly resentful tone, "Are we certain to travel with Qian Liuyun?"

Shen Qinglan was slightly confused, "Is there any issue with that?"

She really did not understand why Duan Yunfei was so resistant to Qian Liuyun, there didn’t seem to be any prior enmity between them.

"No issue!" Duan Yunfei chuckled lightly, suddenly feeling grateful for Shen Qinglan’s emotional insensitivity, otherwise, it might have been awkward throughout the journey.

Shen Qinglan squinted her eyes, puzzled by his alternating expressions of resentment and joy, "Could it be you got drunk?"

Besides this, she couldn’t think of any other reason to explain his rapid switch in expressions. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Impossible!" Duan Yunfei raised an eyebrow, "You think your husband’s tolerance for alcohol is that poor?"

Shen Qinglan shook her head, and Duan Yunfei chuckled softly, "Exactly."

"Then, did you have some friction with Young Master Qian?"

"Absolutely not!" Duan Yunfei stepped forward, wrapped his arm around her waist, and walked ahead, "It’s getting late, it’s time to wash up and rest."

Shen Qinglan squinted her eyes, observing him for a moment. Seeing his thin lips with a smile and his expression normal, she withdrew her suspicious gaze.
