Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 433 - 432: Learning to Speak

After the meal, the Prime Minister’s wife, having some matters to attend to at home, departed to the manor after a brief chat.

In the hall, Madam Jiang laughed, "Our Qinglan, from now on, is a grown-up young lady!"

"Indeed!" Madam Song looked at Madam Duan and said, "In the future, we’ll have to trouble you to look after our Qinglan more often."

"It should be that way!"

Luo Jing’s smile was so wide her teeth were showing, and her gaze towards Shen Qinglan was full of joy.

Shen Qinglan: ...

It’s just a coming-of-age ceremony, why does it feel like entrusting the child?

"Ziyun." Luo Jing called Ziyun once.

Ziyun understood and quickly handed over the wooden box in her hand.

Luo Jing took the wooden box, opened it, and extracted something wrapped in emerald silk from inside.

Smiling, she lifted the silk, revealing a blood-colored jade bracelet in front of everyone.

Shen Qinglan recognized at a glance that it was high-quality Blood Jade, which nowadays, even a small piece could be priced sky-high.

"For a moment, I couldn’t decide what to give," Luo Jing laughed, "This jade bracelet was a gift from Yunfei’s grandmother to me. I found it beautiful at the time and couldn’t bear to wear it, so I kept it until now."

She pulled Shen Qinglan’s hand, intending to place the bracelet on it, but Shen Qinglan withdrew her hand and whispered, "This is too precious, and since it’s a gift from Madam Duan, I dare not accept it!"

"Indeed!" Dong Yao echoed, "It’s too precious, the gesture itself is sufficient."

Luo Jing smiled gently, once again pulling Shen Qinglan’s hand to fit the jade bracelet on her, then said with a laugh, "The size is just right!"

She looked at Dong Yao and said, "These good things are meant to be used by people. It doesn’t make much sense keeping it hidden."

Looking at the blood-colored jade bracelet on her wrist, Shen Qinglan couldn’t help but let out a small sigh.

Such a fine item, she dared not wear it casually. If one day she were to inadvertently clash during some commotion, breaking it would be such a pity.

She looked at Luo Jing and said, "Thank you, Madam Duan!"

Luo Jing smiled gently and said, "Child, why be polite with your aunt?"

Madam Xuan laughed and teased, "Qinglan, after accepting this bracelet, you’re part of the Duan Family now." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Shen Qinglan blushed, and there were light chuckles among everyone.

Tang Wan also took out the gift she prepared and said with a smile, "A small token, I hope Qinglan will like it!"

She gifted a pair of crystal-clear jade earrings, which looked beautiful.

Shen Qinglan smiled, "Thank you! They’re very pretty."

"I wasn’t sure what to give either!" Qiu Li took out a jade hairpin, blushing slightly, "My brother and I chose this together, not sure if you like it!"

Shen Qinglan took it and said with a smile, "Anything from my sister-in-law is naturally lovely!"

Looking at the gifts in hand, Shen Qinglan sighed lightly and said, "Well, now I’ve got a matching set of jade jewelry."

Hearing this, everyone let out a gentle laugh.

"Everyone’s given expensive things, so I won’t," Shen Qingju took out two neatly folded outfits and said, "I’ve made two outfits for you."

Shen Qinglan received them with a smile, "Thank you, sister!"

Shen Qingju watched and said, "Now you know how to speak properly, sister feels happy inside."

Shen Qinglan: ...

The way that is said, it’s like she couldn’t speak before.

"Aunt, you all might not know," Shen Qingju looked at Madam Song and the others, "Third sister used to barely speak a word, at mealtimes, when she started and finished eating, no one would notice. Ask her something, she’d say just two words, which sometimes seemed less than one now."
