Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 396: Shangguan Ruyan

"I’ve only been away from the Capital for just over three years." Duan Yunfei glanced sideways at the shopkeeper and said, "Some people can’t wait to take over our business at the Yongning Manor."

"No, no, it’s not my fault!" the shopkeeper said tremblingly, "It was Young Master Luo who sent me. I don’t know anything!"

As he spoke, he quickly bypassed the counter, rushed to kneel in front of Duan Yunfei, and repeatedly begged, "Young Master Duan, spare me. I really don’t know anything. Please, spare me!"

The other staff, seeing this, also knelt down to plead for mercy.

Shen Qinglan, Song Ting, and Lan Ruo stood by without saying a word.

Shangguan Ruyan, on the other hand, stood with her people watching the spectacle.

But her eyes occasionally glanced towards the three of them.

Duan Yunfei looked coldly at the shopkeeper and asked, "Tell me, how long have you been managing this shop?"

"Not, not long!" the shopkeeper replied, "Only about three months!"

Luo Shengjie said his mother is the younger sister of the manor owner of Yongning Manor, and all the shops of Yongning Manor will belong to him in the future, so he asked me to take good care of them.

Duan Yunfei sneered, "How much money has Luo Shengjie taken from inside?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The shopkeeper stammered, "A, a, about, t, ten thousand taels!"

"Ten thousand taels?" Duan Yunfei sneered, "Very good!"

He looked at Shangguan Ruyan and said, "I wonder if I might borrow two of your servants?"

Shangguan Ruyan nodded, "Of course."

She turned and called to the servants behind her, "Ah Cai, Ah Wang, go to the Luo Mansion and say..."

She paused, raising her eyebrows towards Duan Yunfei.

Duan Yunfei said, "Tell Master Luo to bring his eldest son to the Yongning Furniture Workshop on Fugui Street."

Shangguan Ruyan turned back to the two summoned servants and said, "Just say what Young Master Duan said."

"Yes!"

The two received their orders and immediately turned to leave.

The shopkeeper and several staff members were already trembling in fear, not daring to speak anymore.

Shangguan Ruyan said softly, "It seems, the furniture won’t be added today!"

Duan Yunfei smiled slightly, "Miss Shangguan can pick whatever furniture you want and just remember to pay when the time comes."

Shangguan Ruyan laughed lightly, "I thought Young Master Duan would say to take it without paying."

"Miss Shangguan is joking," Duan Yunfei continued to smile faintly, "After all, the Shangguan family is also a family of merchants. Who would want to do a losing business?"

"Then I wonder..." Shangguan Ruyan teased, "Since Ruyan helped you call someone, how will Young Master thank Ruyan?"

Duan Yunfei raised an eyebrow, "Miss Shangguan lacks neither money nor food and drink, what more could you want?"

"Ruyan wants nothing!"

Shangguan Ruyan brought over a chair herself, sat down and said with a smile, "Ruyan heard Brother Zhao say he gave you that White Jade Tea Set. Why don’t you give it to me?"

Duan Yunfei sneered lightly, "Miss Shangguan is truly a daughter of the Shangguan family, thinking that sending two servants would earn her a set of White Jade Tea Set? You sure have the nerve to ask."

"Forget it!" Shangguan Ruyan laughed, "Since Young Master Duan is unwilling, let’s just say I was joking."

She glanced over at Shen Qinglan and the others, then looked at Song Ting with a smirk, "If Ruyan isn’t mistaken, that gentleman is Young Master Song Ting of the Medicine Sect, isn’t he?"

Lan Ruo frowned in displeasure, "Who are you?"

"Me?" Shangguan Ruyan replied, "I’m the third young lady of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Ruyan."
