Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 356: Reunion (Part 1)

When Shen Qinglan came out of the new room with a bowl, the excitement in front of the courtyard had not yet dissipated.

Meanwhile, Dong Yao, Jiang Shi, Lu Shi, Shen Qingju, Shen Qinghe, and others were already seated at the table with Luo Jing and several others.

"Qinglan, over here!" Shen Qinghe waved at her.

Shen Qinglan washed the bowls and chopsticks clean and put them aside before heading over to the group.

"Come sit by your aunt!"

Jiang Shi smiled as she pulled her to sit beside her.

"Where is Uncle?" Shen Qinglan asked.

Lu Shi pointed not far away with a smile and said, "Your uncle is still drinking with Master Duan and the others."

"Speaking of which," Jiang Shi glanced at Shen Qinglan, lightly chiding, "You child really bothered your aunt and uncle-in-law to no end!"

Shen Qinglan quickly figured out what they were referring to and couldn’t help but give a guilty smile.

"I hadn’t confirmed things yet, so I deceived Aunt and you. It was my mistake!"

"Honestly, couldn’t you have told the truth?" Lu Shi chided, "You made your aunt-in-law think that Young Master Duan really had a fiancée."

Luo Jing and Madam Luo, upon hearing this, all laughed.

But then they heard Madam Song inquire, "Lan Ruo mentioned you have something to discuss with me. What is it?"

Shen Qinglan glanced at Lan Ruo and then said softly, "There are some matters. I kindly ask Madam Song to stay a bit longer after the banquet ends."

Although Madam Song didn’t know what she was going to talk about, she nodded in agreement.

It wasn’t until the Hour of You that the banquet finally dispersed.

The group at Chu Wuqu’s table remained seated upright.

Aside from other things, what surprised Shen Qinglan most was Shen Shan. She rarely saw Shen Shan drink, and assumed his alcohol tolerance wasn’t great, but unexpectedly, it was really good.

Shen Qingzhu had already been helped back to the new room, leaving only the Shen Family members and some close relatives and guests in the courtyard.

Shen Qinglan stood up and said to Madam Song, "I wonder if Madam Song would be willing to leave with me for a moment?"

Madam Song was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

Shen Qinglan looked at Dong Yao and said, "Mother, please come with me too."

Dong Yao looked at her confused for a moment, but eventually got up as well.

Shen Qinglan asked the others to sit for a while, and then she led the two away.

She brought the two to the main hall and asked them to sit down for a moment, while she went out to bring Dong Zhong in.

"Qinglan, what is all this?" Dong Yao frowned.

Madam Song was still present, so why did this child bring her elder brother here?

Madam Song looked at Dong Zhong curiously, her brows furrowing involuntarily.

"This..."

Dong Zhong looked at Shen Qinglan, puzzled.

Shen Qinglan asked everyone to sit properly and then looked at Madam Song, saying, "Madam Song, to be honest, I’ve inquired Lan Ruo about the purpose of your visit to Jinxi Town."

Madam Song was puzzled, "What about it?"

"Does Madam Song find Dong Family Village somewhat familiar?" Shen Qinglan asked.

Madam Song gave a slight smile, "Did Lan Ruo tell you, that girl?"

Dong Yao’s breath paused slightly. She looked at Shen Qinglan, dazed, and asked, "What does this mean?"

Shen Qinglan gently patted her hand, indicating her to stay calm, and then turned to Madam Song, saying, "I have an aunt named Dong Lian. She was sold to human traffickers by relatives when she was five years old, and after that, she vanished without a trace."

"Sold?"

Dong Zhong and Dong Yao were both taken aback.

Dong Zhong said in a deep voice, "Who said this?"

Shen Qinglan looked at the two for a long time before recounting everything about what Niu Shi and Liang Kun had done, and how they were sent to prison, word for word.

After listening, the two were initially furious, but as they regained composure, they couldn’t help but feel deep sorrow.
