Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 448 - 447: Unusual

When Shangguan Ruyan came back after greeting, those who were whispering before quickly stopped.

As soon as she sat down, she leaned over to Shen Qinglan and whispered, "I just had someone send an invitation to Young Master Duan."

"Hmm?" Shen Qinglan was startled, looking at her in confusion, "Why?"

Shangguan Ruyan raised an eyebrow, "You don’t know?"

"What?" Shen Qinglan still looked puzzled.

"Yi Qianqian said you’re Brother Zhao’s sweetheart," Shangguan Ruyan chuckled, "Now, all the madams and ladies in this room also think this way."

Shen Qinglan suddenly smiled, "You know, I don’t care about these things."

Let others misunderstand as they please, it has nothing to do with her, there’s no need to clarify anything.

"But I’m worried!" Shangguan Ruyan pretended to be helpless and said, "What if this misunderstanding spreads out, and Young Master Duan comes to seek me for an explanation?"

"He won’t," Shen Qinglan slightly bent her brows and eyes, "He will only seek Young Master Le for an explanation."

Shangguan Ruyan and Xiang Wenwan exchanged a glance and suddenly laughed softly.

After laughing, Shangguan Ruyan raised her eyebrows and said, "Would Miss Shen blame me for acting on my own accord?"

"No," Shen Qinglan smiled, "Today is your occasion, you can decide who to invite."

Shangguan Ruyan chuckled lightly, "I just enjoy talking with Miss Shen!"

Shen Qinglan poured a cup of wine, raised it towards her, "Happy Birthday!"

Shangguan Ruyan quickly raised her cup as well, "Thank you!"

The two clinked their cups, then laughed and drank it down.

Others who saw this couldn’t help but feel envious.

Shangguan Ruyan and Xiang Wenwan are similar, appearing polite and gentle to everyone, but in fact, there’s a layer of detachment that’s hard to penetrate.

After this, she’s going to marry into the Minister Mansion, her status naturally goes without saying, and anyone who comes today is here to please her, to please Shangguan Mansion and Madame of the Minister Mansion.

Even Yi Qianqian came with such a mindset.

Though she’s a girl from the Bright Moon City family by name, she’s merely a collateral relative of Bright Moon City, still having some distance from the City Lord.

Though Bright Moon City has taken care of her Yi Family, it’s merely care.

The Yi Family always seeks to climb up the relationship ladder of the Shangguan Mansion.

Through these years, she has been trying various ways to maintain a good relationship with Shangguan Ruyan, even often inviting her out for lake tours and flower appreciation, Shangguan Ruyan occasionally accepts but remains polite and detached, without any intention to deepen the acquaintance.

Seeing Shangguan Ruyan’s attitude towards Shen Qinglan now, and thinking about her attitude towards herself, it’s hard not to feel discontent.

As she was feeling down, she heard a girl at the same table say, "Speaking of the Shen Family, a Shen family moved into our Yingcai Alley."

"Yingcai Alley?" Someone sneered, "Don’t wealthy families all live in Zhaocai Alley?"

The girl’s face turned red instantly, saying awkwardly, "Our Yingcai Alley isn’t necessarily all common families."

The person who spoke earlier scoffed disapprovingly, "Besides your family, I haven’t seen any decent ones in that alley."

The girl replied, "That newly moved Shen Family is said to have an unusual status."

Yi Qianqian squinted her eyes, "How is it unusual?"

"Recently, I heard that the third lady of the Shen Mansion just came of age, do you know who seeks her hand in marriage?"

Hearing this, the people at the table urged the girl, "Oh, stop keeping us in suspense! Just tell us already!"
