Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 415 - 414: Slander (Part 2)

Ding Xuan initially thought that upon hearing these words, Shen Qinglan would stop to defend herself. But unexpectedly, she passed by without turning her head, which left Ding Xuan feeling both angry and disappointed.

She looked in the direction where Shen Qinglan and Lan Ruo were heading and her eyes lit up when she saw Luo Jing and others.

"Eh?" As she stood up, someone curiously asked, "Miss Ding, where are you going?"

She pressed her lips together and smiled, "Having seen two elders, I’ll go over to greet them first."

After she finished speaking, she walked briskly towards Luo Jing, while Shen Qinglan and Lan Ruo stopped to greet the belated Luo Tianjie and Luo Zilin.

Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why did you arrive so late?"

"Wasn’t it because of Brother Tianjie?" Luo Zilin shrugged, "He asked me to call him, but by the time I got there, he wasn’t even awake yet."

Luo Tianjie lightly coughed, "Well, I drank too much last night, so I woke up a bit late."

"Sister-in-law, where are you heading?" Luo Zilin asked.

Shen Qinglan replied, "To greet Aunt Duan."

"Then you should go quickly!" Luo Zilin said, "We just finished greeting them as well."

"Hmm!" Shen Qinglan nodded, "Your cousin is over there, you should go quickly."

Just as Luo Tianjie and Luo Zilin left, Shen Qinglan heard Lan Ruo muttering, "Who is that woman?"

Shen Qinglan looked over in confusion, only to see Ding Xuan smilingly and obediently standing next to Luo Jing.

Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, suddenly curling her lips into a smile.

Lan Ruo asked in a low voice, "Qinglan, do you know her?"

Shen Qinglan calmly stated, "She is Miss Tang’s cousin."

"Miss Tang?" Lan Ruo asked, "Is she today’s bride?"

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Hmm!"

As they walked closer, Ding Xuan furrowed her fine brows, but didn’t hurry to leave. Instead, she stood provocatively next to Luo Jing and looked at Shen Qinglan.

She had previously gone to Yongning Manor with Tang Wan and Yan Yijie, and even had a meal with Luo Jing. She felt that Luo Jing had a good impression of her.

Matters of matrimony traditionally follow the orders of parents and matchmakers. She believed that as long as she won over Luo Jing’s favor, and then exhibited her intentions towards Duan Yunfei, Luo Jing would understand.

Once back from the Capital, she would have her father and mother visit Yongning Manor, ensuring close ties with the manor owner and Luo Jing. Wouldn’t this marriage then be certain?

By then, even if Shen Qinglan were to marry in, she would only be a concubine. How could she compare?

Thinking this, Ding Xuan couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy, and her gaze at Shen Qinglan became even more smug.

"Isn’t this Miss Shen?" she feigned surprise and said, "How come you are here as well?"

Shen Qinglan looked at her with a faint smile but said nothing.

Lan Ruo, however, unconsciously furrowed her brows, ignoring her, and instead looked at Madam Song, smiling as she called out "Aunt Yi."

"Qinglan is here!" As soon as Luo Jing saw her, her smile deepened, and she hurriedly reached out to pull her to her side.

"Aunt Duan!"

Shen Qinglan greeted her with a smile, and then greeted everyone else one by one.

Chu Wuqu, seeing her, immediately beamed with joy and said, "Girl, come over here and sit!"

The elder’s voice was stern, "There’s a vacant spot here."

Duan Nian smiled and quickly moved aside, placing an empty chair next to Luo Jing, and with a kind smile, he said, "Qinglan, sit next to your aunt."

Shen Qinglan smiled softly and nodded slightly, quickly taking a seat beside Luo Jing.
