Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 408 - 407: Wishful Thinking (2)

Luo Zilin wanted to follow, but was stopped by the person at the door.

Luo Tu’s attendant, Luo Jiang, said, "Second Young Master, the master says only the madam is allowed in."

Luo Zilin frowned slightly, but ultimately stopped at the door.

Considering that Luo Tu didn’t dare to do anything to Duan Qingluo, especially with Yongning Manor as such a formidable backing, even if he disliked Duan Qingluo, he wouldn’t dare act rashly.

Since he couldn’t go in, Luo Zilin simply stood at the door, listening carefully.

In the study

After Duan Qingluo gracefully saluted, she looked at Luo Tu and calmly said, "I wonder why the master has called me here; is there any urgent matter?"

"It’s not really a big matter." Luo Tu cleared his throat, then said, "It’s just that Shengjie did something, and it made the eldest nephew unhappy. We want you to step in and help persuade the eldest nephew."

"Is the master referring to Yunfei?" Duan Qingluo was surprised, "Yunfei has always had a good temper, how did the eldest young master provoke him?"

"It’s just that some time ago, Shengjie had a conflict with a shopkeeper from Yongning Furniture Workshop, accidentally broke the shopkeeper’s leg, and was afraid the eldest nephew would find out, so he hid the person and treated him, intending to release him once he’s healed."

"However, the matter was still discovered by the eldest nephew today."

"Once he learned of it, he was furious, not only demanding three thousand taels in compensation from me but also threatening that Shengjie had better not leave the house."

"Don’t you think it’s just an accidental injury to a shopkeeper? Why is the eldest nephew so angry?"

Luo Tu finished speaking and shook his head in feigned helplessness.

Luo Shengjie’s actions, of course, he wouldn’t reveal entirely, so he casually made up a story.

Duan Qingluo frowned slightly; didn’t she know her nephew’s character?

Just hearing Luo Tu’s words, she knew it wasn’t true.

"Ah~"

Duan Qingluo sighed softly, "My brother and sister-in-law came to the Capital, and it’s inconvenient for me to visit them. It’s better for the master to take Shengjie to apologize to Yunfei."

She was occasionally confused but wasn’t truly foolish; how could she possibly offend her own nephew for an outsider?

"What do you mean?" Luo Tu frowned unhappily, "Shengjie is also your child. Today, this matter arose; as the mistress of the Luo Family, how can you stand by and do nothing?"

"Mistress of the Luo Family?"

Duan Qingluo laughed self-deprecatingly, "Master might as well call over people from the mansion and ask if they recognize me as the mistress."

Currently, the one in charge of Luo Mansion is the First Madame, and those who are opportunistic even dare to compliment the First Madame loudly in front of her, outright claiming the First Madame to be the mistress of Luo Mansion.

Over the years, her feelings towards Luo Tu have long faded; it doesn’t matter who acts as the mistress.

If it weren’t for the sake of giving her son a complete family, she would have divorced Luo Tu and left long ago; why would she have stayed all this time?

"This..."

Luo Tu’s expression changed slightly, then he said solemnly, "Are you planning to ignore it?"

Duan Qingluo softly smiled, "I can’t deal with this matter; the master should think of a way himself."

Having said that, she gently saluted again, preparing to leave.

"Wait!"

Duan Qingluo turned back, smiling faintly, "I wonder, does the master have any other instructions?"

Luo Tu said, "You don’t have to go either, today, those three thousand taels I have someone covered for it. Have someone bring me the three thousand taels later, so I can return it to them."

"Three thousand taels?" Duan Qingluo frowned, "Does the master think I have three thousand taels?"
