Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 423 - 422: Neck and Neck

Shen Qinglan had only ever heard the name "Yi Qianqian" without actually meeting her.

She asked Fu Dong, "I heard that this Miss Yi is a stunning beauty who could bring down a country?"

"Mm!" Fu Dong nodded, "Miss Yi is indeed an unparalleled beauty in Yunye Country."

"Miss, do Yongning Manor and Haoyue Cloth Shop have a feud?" Piao Xue curiously asked.

Shen Qinglan answered as she walked, "A deep-seated revenge."

"I see!" Piao Xue said, "I’ll never buy anything from their shop again."

Shen Qinglan chuckled lightly upon hearing this.

She led the three to a nearby cloth shop where they purchased some fabrics and left an address before returning to the new house.

Early the next morning, all the Shen Family members arrived at the new house, including Luo Jing, Madam Song, and Lan Ruo among others.

Shen Qinglan got up very early, just as dawn broke, and went to the marketplace with Rong De and Chef Fang Daniu to shop for groceries.

By noon, they managed to prepare a large table of delicious dishes.

After lighting firecrackers and having the meal, the ceremonial move into the new house was considered complete.

"Such a big house, how much did it cost?"

After the meal, Dong Yao pulled Shen Qinglan aside and asked in a low voice.

Shen Qinglan said, "Over ten thousand taels." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Over ten thousand taels?" Dong Yao winced, "You don’t live here often, you could have bought a smaller one, why buy such a big house?"

Shen Qinglan said, "But I like this estate!"

Dong Yao disapprovingly said, "You made some money, and now you’re spending it so recklessly."

"Well, money is made to be spent," Shen Qinglan said, "Otherwise, why did I earn it?"

Dong Yao smiled wryly, "I can’t argue with you, but you should still spend wisely."

Shen Qinglan laughed, "Alright, Mother, I know my limits."

Dong Yao glanced at Xi Chun and the others, and whispered, "Did you buy all those servants too?"

Shen Qinglan said, "Such a large estate needs someone to manage it."

"You," Dong Yao lightly squinted at her, "If you bought a smaller house, it wouldn’t be this much trouble."

Shen Qinglan sighed softly, "Alright Mother, why don’t you go chat with Auntie?"

"Fine!" Dong Yao glanced at her saying, "I know you’re tired of me, I’m leaving now."

Shen Qinglan smiled as she watched her mother leave, then turned toward Duan Yunfei and others who were sitting and chatting over tea.

Luo Zilin waved at her with a sly grin, "Sister-in-law, come over, we’re betting big or small."

"Betting big or small?" Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, "What’s the gamble?"

Luo Zilin said, "Master Le said that whoever loses will treat everyone to a listening at Ruyun Pavilion to hear Qian Liuyun sing tonight."

"Master Le?" Shen Qinglan looked at Le Zhao, "You still dare to go to Ruyun Pavilion?"

"Why not?" Le Zhao raised an eyebrow, "What’s wrong with taking A Ying to listen to some music?"

Xuan Ying gave him a sidelong glance but said nothing about going or not going.

Shen Qinglan laughed, "May I join you?"

"What?"

Duan Yunfei narrowed his long eyes slightly.

Shen Qinglan said, "I just want to witness Qian Liuyun’s charm."

"But..." Luo Zilin hesitated, "Sister-in-law, Ruyun Pavilion only allows men."

Shen Qinglan curved her lips, "Have you ever heard of ’women disguised as men’?"

Luo Zilin furrowed his brows, "But... sister-in-law, you look so good, not like a man at all!"

Shen Qinglan sat next to Duan Yunfei and asked him, "Look, who’s more good-looking, your cousin or me?"

Duan Yunfei: ...

"Uh... this..." Luo Zilin found it a bit difficult.

Le Zhao chuckled, "Equally matched."

Duan Yunfei said coldly, "Get lost!"
