Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 386: Don’t Know Him

Shen Qinglan cast a serene glance at the person before turning around and pushing the door open to enter.

Lan Ruo suspiciously glanced at the person, then whispered to Shen Qinglan, "Qinglan, is there really a ghost in here?"

"No," Shen Qinglan said. "Those are just rumors."

As for that person just now...

Shen Qinglan sneered disdainfully; that person was most likely the one Ah Xiang referred to as a worthless bum.

She guessed right. Just as they entered, that person had already circled around to another spot and climbed the wall to enter the courtyard first.

"Sister, those brother and sister came yesterday!"

Ah Jiu, who had been looking around at the entrance early in the morning, shouted excitedly into the house when he saw Gu Panxia and the others.

Ah Xiang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Shen Qinglan was worried she would escape with the money, but she was more worried that Shen Qinglan wouldn’t keep her word.

Now it seemed she had overthought it.

She got up and went to the main room with Ah Jiu to greet them.

"Young lady!"

Ah Xiang called out to Shen Qinglan, choosing to ignore the others.

Ah Jiu, however, greeted them one by one.

Just as Mu Jian sat down, he asked, "Has this room been fumigated with mugwort?"

Ah Xiang nodded silently.

Lan Ruo nudged Shen Qinglan, saying, "Your friend looks a bit cold, doesn’t she?"

Shen Qinglan glanced at Ah Xiang and smiled, "She’s okay."

"Sister, is this gentleman the doctor you mentioned for my mother?"

Ah Jiu looked at Shen Qinglan and then turned to Mu Jian.

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Yes!"

She looked at Ah Xiang and said, "Did you move your mother to the side courtyard?"

Ah Xiang nodded, "I moved her last night."

Shen Qinglan nodded, addressing Mu Jian, "Could I trouble you, Elder Mu, to accompany this young lady to the side courtyard?"

Mu Jian nodded, looking at Ah Xiang, "Please lead the way, young lady."

Ah Xiang looked at Shen Qinglan and said coldly, "Ah Xiang."

"Hmm?" Shen Qinglan looked at her.

She heard her repeat stiffly, "Ah Xiang."

"Are you saying...your name is Ah Xiang?" Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow.

"Yes." Ah Xiang nodded.

Shen Qinglan sighed softly, suddenly remembering that she used to have this personality too—speaking little and keeping things short. Now it seemed it was better to say a little more and express things clearly.

She nodded, "Alright, I got it."

After Ah Xiang heard this, she led Mu Jian the way.

Meanwhile, in a flower bush nearby, the person they had met at the entrance earlier stood shocked, staring at the departing figures of Ah Xiang and Mu Jian.

He suspiciously stared ahead, muttering to himself, "When did this little wench get to know so many distinguished people?"

Although those people didn’t dress as luxuriously as the wealthy in the Capital, their clothing was made of fine, smooth fabric, obviously not ordinary.

Wan Gu’s eyes lit up. If he could befriend those people, would he ever be short of gambling money again?

He got up, patted the leaves off his body, and swaggered into the main room, laughing, "So, you are Ah Xiang’s guests!"

"Ha!"

Ah Jiu was so frightened that he stepped back, looking at him with wary and scared eyes.

"Isn’t he the one who said earlier that there was a ghost in the courtyard?" Lan Ruo whispered.

Wan Gu gave Ah Jiu a fierce look, then turned to the others, smiling, "That was a misunderstanding; this uncle didn’t know you were Ah Xiang’s friends!"

"Uncle?" Song Ting raised an eyebrow, looking at Shen Qinglan, "Cousin, do you know this person?"

Shen Qinglan shook her head, "I don’t know him."
