Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 189: Reward

Jinxi Town, the backyard of Huichun Hall.

Shen Qinglan gazed calmly at the master and servant across from her, saying nothing.

Not far away, blooming forsythia flowers exuded a gentle fragrance, carried by the spring breeze.

"I am Song Ting, the eldest son of the Medicine Sect."

After some time, Song Ting finally spoke.

"This is my attendant, Song Qing. Last time, we left in a hurry and didn’t have the chance to ask for the young lady’s name!"

Recently, Shen Qing’an caught a cold, feeling unwell. Shen Qinglan intended to ask Doctor Chen from Huichun Hall to have a look. Unexpectedly, upon entering the hall, she encountered Song Ting and Song Qing.

She looked at Song Ting without saying a word.

Song Ting smiled slightly, saying, "The young lady saved us, you are our benefactor. May I know what reward the young lady desires?"

"Money." After a long pause, Shen Qinglan replied with a single word.

Both Song Ting and Song Qing were taken aback.

"How much do you want?" Song Qing asked with a hint of caution.

Shen Qinglan replied coolly, "Depends on your sincerity."

Song Ting chuckled lightly, and asked, "Will one hundred thousand taels suffice?"

One hundred thousand taels?

Shen Qinglan’s heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm outwardly, saying, "Naturally, it will be enough."

Song Ting said, "We don’t have that much on us right now. Could the young lady allow us some days to gather it?"

"Take your time." Shen Qinglan rose and said, "I have a sick person at home, so I won’t stay to chat any longer."

"Song Qing, have Doctor Chen accompany the young lady."

"Yes!" Before leaving, Song Qing cast a curious glance at Shen Qinglan.

Who would have thought, this seemingly gentle and harmless girl could take lives so mercilessly.

When Shen Qinglan saw the "Doctor Chen" mentioned by Song Ting, she couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows.

Doctor Chen also appeared a bit surprised upon seeing her.

"So, the benefactor mentioned by the eldest son is this young lady!"

"Do you know each other?" Song Qing was curious.

"We’ve met once." Doctor Chen smiled and said, "This young lady is the bookkeeper at Shengxiang Restaurant. Once, she caught a cold, and Tang Manager sent for me to treat her."

"Tang Manager of Shengxiang Restaurant?" Song Ting asked.

"Precisely!" Doctor Chen nodded.

Song Ting looked at Shen Qinglan with some surprise; that Tang Manager is indeed from Yongning Manor. Could a mere bookkeeper garner such concern from Tang Manager? Perhaps she too belongs to Yongning Manor?

Recalling Old Tang’s reaction upon seeing her portrait lately, Song Ting became more convinced.

He squinted slightly, asking, "Could the young lady be from Yongning Manor?"

Shen Qinglan did not answer his question, instead saying cryptically, "So young, yet your mind is so heavy."

With that, she took the lead to leave.

Song Ting: ...

He only came to his conclusion through reasonable speculation, how could it be deemed heavy-minded? Besides, who is considered young here?

Doctor Chen looked at him and said, "Young master, I shall take my leave first!"

Song Ting nodded, "Go ahead!"

Once Shen Qinglan and Doctor Chen had left Huichun Hall, Song Ting turned to Song Qing asking, "Can we trace this young lady’s identity?"

Song Qing bowed and replied, "Rest assured, young master, I’ll investigate right away!"

With that, he also left Huichun Hall.

When he returned, however, his expression seemed puzzled.

"Why the puzzling look?" Song Ting raised his eyebrow.

"Young master, I’ve inquired about the person, but..."

Song Qing frowned and said, "According to the new bookkeeper at Shengxiang Restaurant, that young lady is named Shen Qinglan, not from a prestigious family, nor is she from Yongning Manor. She is just an ordinary girl from a nearby village."
