Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 511 - 510: Lei Yan
The Boat Master heard and frowned instantly, yet remained silent.
The young man was somewhat anxious, "What should we do, Boat Master?"
"If they’re in a hurry to leave, let them find another boatman." The Boat Master sighed lightly, "Our guests are not only them, in such dangerous weather, we can’t recklessly rush into danger because of them."
"But... Boat Master, it’s rare to encounter such a big business deal, are we really not taking it?" The young man frowned.
The Boat Master appeared resolute, speaking firmly, "Money is indeed important, but everyone’s safety is more important. In short, I will not agree to set sail until the heavy rain stops."
Shen Qinglan glanced at the dock and discovered that the whole river was covered in mist, not even the water surface could be seen, let alone the front.
Le Zhao leaned lightly against the chair back, gazing outside and whispered, "It’s foggy."
No one paid attention to him because the three sitting beside him were all listening intently to the dialogue between the Boat Master and the young man.
"Go and tell the Vice Boat Master that I don’t agree to set sail."
"Boat Master!" The young man looked anxious, "Three hundred taels, and they even said the return would be the same price, are we really not going?"
The Boat Master replied without the slightest hesitation, "No."
The young man sighed heavily, quickly put on his straw hat, turned and rushed into the rain.
"Boat Master Shi, the guests that young man mentioned, are they the few young lords and ladies from this morning?" A merchant stepped forward to inquire.
"Indeed!" The Boat Master nodded with a deep frown.
"What are they transporting?" The merchant asked, "I see the cabin is almost half full."
The Boat Master said, "It’s all fabric." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"I seemed to see a lady from the Dragon Gate Escort Hall this morning," The merchant said, "Are those people all from the Dragon Gate Escort Hall?"
The Boat Master nodded with a sigh, "Seems like it."
Upon hearing this, the merchant suddenly muttered, "No wonder they’re so arrogant!"
"The young lady from the Dragon Gate Escort Hall, Lei Yan?" Le Zhao glanced at Duan Yunfei with a smile, "If Miss Lei knew you were here, she’d probably come charging with a blade."
Duan Yunfei’s face darkened, he snorted coldly without speaking.
Shen Qinglan lightly raised an eyebrow in suspicion, "Why?"
"To snatch him," Le Zhao said gloatingly, "You don’t know, that lady fell in love with Yunfei at first sight, she’s been trying to make him the son-in-law of the Dragon Gate Escort Hall."
"Oh?" Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows, "Have I encountered a rival in love?"
"How is Lei Yan worthy of our young... gentleman," Xuan Ying sneered, "A lady whose stature is as burly as a man’s, and not to mention, as stupid as can be."
Shen Qinglan suddenly recalled that when first meeting Chu Wuqu at the Jinxi Town Gate, he also seemed to mention some lady from the Dragon Gate Escort Hall, and it appears she must be this Miss Lei.
Xuan Ying comforted Shen Qinglan, "Miss Shen, don’t be afraid. Compared to her, you’re like a celestial fairy from the heavens, the gentleman won’t abandon you."
Shen Qinglan’s face twitched slightly, "Xuan Ying, do you have a grudge with Miss Lei?"
"More than a grudge?" Xuan Ying nearly slammed the table, "Years back, when she was in Nanfeng Country, she pestered the young... gentleman for over a month, she even found her way to several places. My brother and I couldn’t even close our eyes when sleeping to prevent her from sneaking into the gentleman’s room."
Shen Qinglan was surprised, she glanced at Duan Yunfei, "Your gentleman has such a good temper?"
"Good temper?" Xuan Ying said angrily, "If it wasn’t for Master Zhuang’s friendship with the Hall Master of the Dragon Gate Escort Hall, the gentleman would have slapped that shameless woman into the ground long ago."
