Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 732 - 730: Persuading Marriage

Shen Qinglan discovered that Fu Dong really has quite a talent for cooking.

Some things, she only had to teach once for Fu Dong to learn, and the flavors she created surpassed those of her "teacher".

She looked at Fu Dong and asked, "Have you stayed in the kitchen before?"

"No!" Fu Dong shook her head, "In Yi Mansion, I was a third-rank maid, better than the kitchen maids, mainly responsible for serving tea to the young lady."

Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, "Then where did you learn the culinary skills?"

"I learned it from Aunt Zhou when I was in the Capital," Fu Dong smiled, "Aunt Zhou said I had a talent and taught me all the dishes she knew."

"So you learned from Aunt Zhou!" Shen Qinglan nodded, "Aunt Zhou’s culinary skills are indeed exceptional."

Speaking of Aunt Zhou, Shen Qinglan thought of Rong De and the others, "I wonder how Steward Rong and the others are doing."

Fu Dong’s lips, previously slightly upturned, suddenly collected, and her eyes that were bright moments ago dimmed instantly.

Shen Qinglan keenly noticed her mood change, raised her eyes to look at her, and asked, "What’s the matter?"

"Nothing!" Fu Dong shook her head, "I just miss Aunt Zhou and the others."

"Oh?" Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, her tone half-joking, half-serious, "Do you miss Aunt Zhou and the others, or Ying Shu?"

Fu Dong was startled, raised her head to look at her, then quickly lowered her head, whispering with a flushed face, "Miss, what nonsense are you talking about, I don’t miss him!"

"Really not?" Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Truly not!" Fu Dong pouted, "Miss, please don’t say that anymore!"

Shen Qinglan chuckled lightly, "Fu Dong, do you want to return to the Capital?"

"Ah?" Fu Dong was taken aback, her face full of anxiety, "Miss, do you not want me anymore?"

"Hey, don’t be nervous!" Shen Qinglan shook her chopsticks and said, "It’s not that I don’t want you, I’m just asking."

Fu Dong quickly vowed her loyalty, "I won’t go anywhere, just stay by the young lady’s side!"

"Hmm..." Shen Qinglan contemplated and said, "How about this, I’ll bring Ying Shu here to Jinxi Town, how do you feel about that?"

"Miss!" Fu Dong’s face turned crimson, "Please don’t tease me like that!"

"Alright, alright!" Shen Qinglan laughed, "Let’s not talk about him."

She lowered her head and picked up another fried bun, eating while saying, "Speaking of which, Xichun and the others are also not young anymore, I wonder if there’s anyone they fancy, they can’t stay single forever, can they?"

"As servants, how could we think of anything else?" Fu Dong sighed lightly, "We just want to repay the young lady. If it weren’t for her, we would still be suffering at the broker’s, how could we wish for anything else?"

"Why can’t you wish for something?" Shen Qinglan disagreed, "What’s wrong with being a servant? Being a servant doesn’t mean you’re less human, does it?"

Shen Qinglan sighed softly, "As for other families, I’m not sure, but in our Shen Family, of course, we hope you all can find happiness."

"Miss is so good!" Fu Dong’s eyes reddened, "Thank you, Miss!"

"Don’t rush to thank me yet," Shen Qinglan said, "You’re close with Xichun and the others, privately ask them, see if they have any intentions."

"But if they get married, how can we continue serving you, Miss?" Fu Dong frowned, "If marrying means leaving the Shen Family, we’d rather not marry our whole lives."

"You shouldn’t say such things," Shen Qinglan replied, "If there’s no one you fancy, then so be it; your lifetime loneliness is no problem—the Shen Family won’t neglect you. But if there’s someone you like and you miss the chance due to other reasons, wouldn’t it be a lifelong regret?"
