Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 487 - 486: It Really Is True

"That’s too pitiful!" Qingju said, "Why is everyone in this family like this?"

"Have you found out what the estate’s head plans to do?" Qinghe asked.

Jiang Ming shook his head, "So far, there’s been no news at all."

Madam Jiang sighed softly, "The estate’s madam has some backing; if it weren’t for that, the Jiang Family could lend a hand."

"What backing?" Qinglan asked.

Madam Jiang said, "That estate madam is the elder sister of the lord county magistrate."

Qinglan raised her eyes slightly, "Our Jinxi Town’s county magistrate?"

"Exactly!" Madam Jiang nodded.

Qinglan pondered for a moment and said softly, "I’ll take care of this matter."

"Can it really be done?" Qinghe asked, "That’s the lord county magistrate."

Qinglan smirked, "I may not be able to help with other towns, but with County Magistrate Pei, I still have some rapport."

Besides, Jinxi Town is under the jurisdiction of Yongning Manor, and as the future young madam, shouldn’t she have some authority to speak?

Qingju and Qinghe suddenly remembered the attitude of County Magistrate Pei towards Yunfei when collecting money and food at the town gate, and couldn’t help feeling pleased.

Qingju said, "Does our future brother-in-law know the lord county magistrate?"

"Future brother-in-law?" Madam Jiang asked, puzzled.

Dong Yao whispered, "He’s the young master of Yongning Manor, engaged to Qinglan."

"The young master of Yongning Manor?" Madam Jiang said in surprise.

Jiang Ming, standing beside her, suddenly realized, "Right, how could I forget Mr. Duan!"

"Now it’s easy!" Madam Jiang laughed, "With Young Master Duan stepping in, not only the estate owner but even County Magistrate Pei would have nothing to say." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

The Shen Family seems to have no concept of Yongning Manor; to them, Yongning Manor is just a wealthy household.

Upon hearing Madam Jiang’s words now, they couldn’t help but feel curious.

"Is the lord county magistrate afraid of Yunfei?" Dong Yao asked curiously.

"Didn’t you know?" Madam Jiang said, surprised, "The entire Jinxi Town is governed by Yongning Manor, and logically, County Magistrate Pei is just managing Jinxi Town on behalf of Yongning Manor."

"What?"

Except for Qinglan who remained calm, the other three members of the Shen Family were all stunned.

Jiang Ming said, "Yongning Manor’s shops are spread across the country. If Le Mansion is the richest in the capital, then Yongning Manor is the richest in Yunye Country. Most of what’s in the national treasury comes from Yongning Manor, Le Mansion, Haoyue Manor, and of course, other merchants."

"Turns out, Yongning Manor is so powerful!" Dong Yao murmured.

Returning to the moment, Qingju asked, suspicious, "Isn’t Mr. Duan’s eyesight not so good?"

"Uh... why do you say that?" Qinghe asked.

"Think about Qinglan back then," Qingju said, "She couldn’t talk, couldn’t smile, looked average, yet Mr. Duan was interested in her. Isn’t that poor eyesight?"

Qinglan: ...

What’s wrong with her? Where isn’t she good?

"Pfft—" Qinghe couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

She laughed, "You can’t say Mr. Duan’s vision is bad; you could only say Mr. Duan had foresight."

"Exactly!" Madam Jiang said, "Look at the current third daughter, she can earn money and looks beautiful; not to mention anything else, in all of Jinxi Town, it’s the first time I’ve seen such a pretty girl."

Qinglan nodded in agreement, she also felt she looked quite good.

"And you’re nodding!" Qingju said, exasperated yet amused, "You take it seriously when praised!"

Qinglan said lightly, "It’s not taking it seriously; it’s simply the truth."

After her initial surprise, Dong Yao couldn’t help but chuckle at Qinglan’s words, "She’s really shameless."
