Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 196: Too Much Vinegar

In the main hall of Duan Yunfei’s courtyard, Xuan Ming served bowls of chicken soup to everyone before taking a seat beside them.

"I’ve pretty much got the whole story," Duan Yunfei said, looking at Shen Qinglan. "You weren’t hurt at the time, were you?"

Knowing that Old Tang had probably told Duan Yunfei all about her, Shen Qinglan decided not to beat around the bush and directly shook her head. "No issue, they couldn’t possibly hurt me."

Well, that’s certainly not modest at all.

Le Zhao’s eye twitched, but he finally raised his bowl of soup and took a sip to ease the hit on his ego.

"What about you guys?" Shen Qinglan asked, "Have you finished investigating everything?"

"Almost," Duan Yunfei said while serving her food several times during the conversation.

Seeing the hint of distress between his brows, Shen Qinglan hesitantly asked, "Is it... something important?"

"Yes." Duan Yunfei nodded and smiled, "Very important!"

"Then why didn’t you finish investigating before coming back?" Shen Qinglan asked in confusion.

"Of course, it’s for you, Miss Shen!" Le Zhao laughed. "You don’t know, as soon as he heard that you were being hunted down by the Heavenly Killer Sect, he came back without a second thought."

Duan Yunfei glanced at Le Zhao with displeasure but didn’t refute him.

Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow and teased Duan Yunfei, "Looks like I’m more important than that matter, right?"

"Naturally!" Duan Yunfei chuckled lightly, "The truth can be pursued slowly; you’re the most important."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan’s eyebrows instantly curved with a smile.

Looking at her, Duan Yunfei couldn’t help but smile as well.

The remaining three people had different reactions: Le Zhao was disdainful, Xuan Ying was happy, and Xuan Ming was gratified.

"I’m going to meet the eldest son of the Medicine Sect later; want to tag along?" Duan Yunfei asked Shen Qinglan.

"Song Ting?" Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow. Ever since taking the money last time, she hadn’t seen Song Ting or Song Qing again.

According to Xuan Ying, it seemed that they had helped her avoid quite a bit of trouble. It’s only right to thank him, both emotionally and logically.

"You even know his name?" Duan Yunfei’s tone carried a hint of displeasure.

"Ah!" Le Zhao looked at Xuan Ming, "Xuan Ming, did you use too much vinegar today for cooking? Such a strong sourness, remember to add less next time!"

Xuan Ying humbly said, "Young Master Le is right, I’ll pay attention next time."

"Huh?" Xuan Ying was taken aback, "This dish is no different from usual, the taste is pretty good."

He glared at Le Zhao and said, "If you’re so good, why don’t you cook next time? My brother worked hard to cook for you, and you’re still picky."

"Pfft—"

Le Zhao and Shen Qinglan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Xuan Ming looked helpless but saw Duan Yunfei’s handsome face turn cold, his gaze fraught with chill.

"What are you laughing at?" Xuan Ying was puzzled.

"Xuan Ying!" Xuan Ming signaled him with his eyes to ask less.

This foolish brother, Young Master Le is clearly teasing the Young Master, and he couldn’t figure it out!

With Duan Yunfei’s dark gaze fixed on him, Le Zhao’s smile froze, and he coughed lightly, "Uh... occasionally adding a bit more vinegar is harmless."

No one responded, and the atmosphere gradually stiffened.

Shen Qinglan picked a piece of green vegetable and placed it into Duan Yunfei’s bowl, clearing her throat, "Ahem~ Come, eat more!"

Duan Yunfei’s expression finally lightened a bit. He snorted coldly and retracted his gaze from Le Zhao’s face.

Le Zhao suppressed his laughter and continued to eat.

Xuan Ying looked confused, not understanding what these people were laughing at or why their Young Master suddenly got angry with Le Zhao.

As for Shen Qinglan, seeing that Duan Yunfei was no longer eating vinegar, she breathed a sigh of relief.
