Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 172: Relented

So, she saved the eldest son of the Medicine Sect by accident because of her curiosity?

The Medicine Sect sounds like they are quite wealthy.

If she’d known, she should have asked them for a rescue fee at the time.

Although she got herself involved, the fact is she saved them!

Sigh! Is it still possible to go back and ask for it now?

Shen Qinglan somewhat regretted leaving too quickly at the time.

"Miss Shen, you better stay home these days, I’ll have someone deliver the ledger to your home." Old Tang said: "The people from the Heavenly Killer Sect are not good folks, if they fix their eyes on you, it won’t be a game." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

He had promised the Young Master to take good care of Shen Qinglan, if anything happened to her, the Young Master might skin him alive.

Shen Qinglan nodded obediently; she was also afraid of encountering the people from the Heavenly Killer Sect again.

Judging from the black-clothed man’s voice, he must be at least in his sixties, might even suffer from amnesia, staying home a few days, maybe he would forget what she looked like.

Looking at the weather outside, Old Tang suggested: "Miss Shen, let me have someone escort you back!"

Winter days darken early; it was already dusk at the time of You, and twilight was gathering.

Shen Qinglan shook her head, "No need, I can go back myself."

"Be careful on your way, stay away from suspicious people." Old Tang reminded her with concern.

Shen Qinglan nodded, dressed warmly in her brocade coat, and then stepped out of Shengxiang Restaurant’s door.

Even though she declined, Old Tang still had two people follow her from a distance.

Shen Qinglan noticed as soon as they started following but didn’t reveal it, continuing to stroll seemingly unbothered through the snow.

Until she saw them turn back after watching her enter the Shen Mansion.

The next day

Shen Qinglan was sitting by the window watching the snow when Shen Qinghe arrived.

"Qinglan, do you know who has come?"

She entered with an excited expression.

"Who?" Shen Qinglan asked in return.

"The Li family." Shen Qinghe whispered as she sat beside her: "The Li family is here!"

"Li family?" Shen Qinglan asked confused, "Is it Li Wei or Grandpa Li?"

"Neither!" Shen Qinghe shook her head, "It’s Li Wen and Madam Hong!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan frowned, "What have they come for?"

"What else could it be? Naturally, it’s for Brother Wei and Qingju’s engagement." Shen Qinghe continued, "I just sat over there for a while; Li Wen and Madam Hong both spoke up, saying they agreed to the engagement!"

"Oh." Shen Qinglan replied blandly.

"You seem a bit disappointed!" Shen Qinghe asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Shen Qinglan shook her head, "I’m not."

She just felt it was a pity.

Rather than letting Shen Qingju marry into their family, she would prefer Li Wei to join theirs.

However, upon thinking, it’s almost the same.

With Li Wei’s personality, he likely wouldn’t let Shen Qingju suffer in the Li family.

But Shen Qinglan couldn’t help but be curious, why did Madam Hong and Li Wen suddenly change their minds?

"Do you think, why did they suddenly have a change of heart?" Shen Qinghe asked.

"Not sure." Shen Qinglan shook her head.

Shen Qinghe sighed lightly, "I hope they truly have changed, not driven by somehow else."

"Have they set a date?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"They have." Shen Qinghe said: "They’ve set it before the New Year, likely mid-month."

"That soon?" Shen Qinglan frowned, "Will there be enough time?"

"What’s there not enough time for?" Shen Qinghe said: "Everything was ready in the first place, if not for the Li family suddenly changing their minds, it would have happened long ago, no need to wait until now."
