Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 491 - 490: Are You Shen Qinglan?

Shen Qinglan spoke calmly, "Would Mr. Zhuang allow me to see the second young lady?"

Mr. Zhuang hesitated for a moment, but eventually called a maid from the mansion to take Shen Qinglan over.

Cold wind swept from above, causing the tree branches burgeoning with new buds to sway lightly.

The maid led Shen Qinglan along the path to the side courtyard, stopping in front of a small, rundown yard overgrown with weeds.

The maid brushed herself off, "Miss, the second young lady is inside."

Shen Qinglan did not expect such a dilapidated yard to exist within the luxurious Zhuang Mansion. "Does your second young lady usually stay here?"

The young maid nodded indifferently, "Yes."

Shen Qinglan remained silent as the maid tactfully stepped forward to knock on the door.

After a short while, a simply dressed, pale-faced little maid opened the door.

Shen Qinglan frowned. How could there be such a discrepancy among the maids in the Zhuang Mansion?

She looked at the little maid who brought her, with a round face and smooth skin, then at the one who opened the door, as skinny as a refugee.

Upon seeing the guiding maid, the little maid spoke with a harsh tone, "Sister Liu’er, what do you want?"

The maid called Liu’er replied coldly to the little maid, "This lady is here to see your young mistress."

"Looking for our young mistress?" The little maid looked suspiciously at Shen Qinglan. "Who is this lady? What is her business with our young mistress?"

Shen Qinglan smiled and said, "My last name is Shen."

"Ah?"

The little maid was stunned. She seemed not to have asked her surname, so what’s this lady up to?

Shen Qinglan approached her and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Shen Qingning."

This should make things clear to her, right?

Sure enough, when the little maid heard this name, her eyes widened involuntarily.

"So it’s Miss Shen!" The little maid quickly understood, and with a cheerful smile said, "It’s been years, and Miss Shen has become even more beautiful. I barely recognize you!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Liu’er glanced suspiciously at the two, but when Shen Qinglan looked over, Liu’er quickly lowered her eyes.

"Please come in, Miss Shen. Our young mistress will be delighted to see you!"

Shen Qinglan nodded and stepped inside.

Seeing this, Liu’er attempted to follow, but Shen Qinglan suddenly stopped, turned to her, "Are you Liu’er? I need to talk to the second young lady about something; you can go back now."

Liu’er felt awkward and stopped, responding with a bow.

The little maid snorted coldly at her, then closed the somewhat outdated wooden door, locking it properly.

Standing outside, Liu’er turned red and blue with anger, snorted coldly at the wooden door, and reluctantly turned away.

The little maid, grinning, asked, "My name is Xiaoman. What is your relation with Master Shen?"

Shen Qinglan continued walking inside, "He’s my brother."

"Your brother?" Xiaoman was taken aback, "Did Master Shen tell the family about you?"

Shen Qinglan shook her head, "No."

"Then how did you know?" Xiaoman frowned, scrutinizing Shen Qinglan, suddenly appearing wary, "Are you here to persuade the young lady to let go?"

Shen Qinglan paused her steps and replied, "I would never break up a pair of lovers."

"Judging by your attire, you don’t seem like a girl from an ordinary family," Xiaoman pondered aloud, "You must be the sister who married into the Jiang Family, right?"

Shen Qinglan replied, "I am his cousin."

"Cousin?" Xiaoman was momentarily confused, then suddenly realized, "You’re Shen Qinglan, aren’t you?"
