Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 458 - 457: Enjoying the Shade of a Great Tree

On that day, as soon as Li Wei returned home, he heard the news and was overjoyed. He hurriedly went to the study to prepare paper and pen to write letters to the Shen Family and the Li family.

Shen Qinglan thought of Shen Qinghe, calculated the days, and realized it had been eight months. Before long, it should be time for the birth, but she wasn’t sure if it would be a nephew or a niece.

As for the older cousin-in-law, she wondered how she was doing.

If she were to return, Li Wei would still need to attend school, leaving no one to take care of Shen Qingju.

She was uncertain whether Shen Qingju would be willing to return with her to Jinxi Town, where more people could care for her.

On the last day of November, the perpetually snowy Capital miraculously saw the sun.

Golden rays bathed the silver-white eaves, making them gleam brilliantly.

In front of Heavenly Melody, after the sound of firecrackers, a procession of people lined up.

"Those who wish to see the performance, please buy tickets at the entrance first. Once you’ve got your ticket, you can enter to watch the show,"

Shen Qinglan’s newly employed shopkeeper called out enthusiastically at the door.

"Hey hey~" someone inquired, "Shopkeeper, I heard that the sons from the Le Mansion and the Yan Mansion are here too, is that true?"

"Of course," the shopkeeper laughed, "they are friends of our boss."

Upon hearing this, the crowd hurried to line up to buy tickets, eager not only for the performance but also for the chance to meet the distinguished guests inside.

Perhaps they could even make some useful connections for future endeavors.

The tickets quickly sold out, and the guests seated themselves.

The first song was "Water Melody," with the beautiful sounds of zithers resonating gracefully throughout the building.

When Lian’er and Qian Liuyun came out, those who recognized Qian Liuyun were stunned.

As a notable figure of Ruyun Pavilion, his sudden appearance here was indeed surprising.

"Why is Qian Liuyun here?"

"Wasn’t Ruyun Pavilion saying he was ill and would return after some time?"

"I heard he left over two months ago and thought he was seriously ill, but could it be he switched locations?"

Some who had heard rumors whispered, "I’ve heard his contract had long expired, but Ruyun Pavilion wouldn’t let him go."

"I heard that too, they fooled everyone saying Qian Liuyun would return. I guess they thought no one would dare take him besides Ruyun Pavilion."

"Isn’t that true?" someone said, "Everyone knows what kind of people are behind Ruyun Pavilion. The boss here must be quite confident to take in Qian Liuyun."

Someone scoffed lightly, "Isn’t that obvious? Becoming friends with both Yan Mansion and Le Mansion, how could they not have confidence?"

Not to mention Le Mansion, behind Yan Mansion stands the Prime Minister’s Mansion. Prime Minister Ji is favored by the Holy Emperor, who would dare challenge them?"

Shen Qinglan couldn’t help but sigh softly, admitting that her ability to accomplish so much in the Capital was not only thanks to Duan Yunfei but also Yan Yijie and the two brothers of the Le Family.

Without their support and protection, many things would not have turned out as smoothly.

Indeed, having strong connections offers a great advantage!

When the performance ended, half an hour had passed.

The guests exited Heavenly Melody, and someone remarked with a smile, "I have to say, these tunes are new to me and quite delightful."

"I recall this place used to be a folk music house, singing only small tunes, how come they’ve changed styles?"

"I quite like this style; those little tunes are fine once in a while, but too much of them feels mundane."
