Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 526 - 525: A Different Kind of Ignorance?

Du Bingxue focused her gaze on Le Zhao, her expression still indifferent, and said, "Young Master Le, it’s been a long time."

Le Zhao smiled, "It has been indeed."

"You two know each other?" Fu Junyan was surprised.

"Yes!" Du Bingxue said, "In my grandfather’s lifetime, the Le Mansion was a business partner."

Fu Junyan displayed an expression of sudden understanding. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Du Bingxue smiled slightly, "Come to think of it, if it weren’t for my mother’s disagreement to marry me off to Yunye Country, I might have already been engaged to Young Master Le."

"Is there really such a thing?" Fu Junyan was caught off guard, and looked at Le Zhao with a wary expression.

Le Zhao chuckled, "Luckily your mother stopped it, otherwise, I fear I would have hurt another innocent young girl."

Du Bingxue smiled knowingly, "I’ve heard quite a bit about Young Master Le’s affairs in the Jianghu."

Le Zhao shrugged indifferently, "I never argue with facts; whether they praise or scorn me, it has nothing to do with me."

Du Bingxue’s eyes flashed with admiration, "Young Master has a clear understanding of life."

Le Zhao raised an eyebrow, "Life is my own, if I live it in confusion, wouldn’t that be a great failure?"

"So, has Young Master Le found the person who makes your life clear?" Du Bingxue became curious.

"I have!" Le Zhao smiled, gazing at Xuan Ying who was now quietly leaning against a tree.

Du Bingxue followed his gaze and saw Xuan Ying lowering his head, gently wiping the shiny longsword in his hand with a cloth.

"Is it... Brother Xuan Ying?" Du Bingxue was surprised, "I thought Young Master Le would fancy someone like Young Master Duan, after all, the Jianghu rumors speak of you two."

Le Zhao snorted disdainfully, "Someone like him only deceives naive young girls with surface pretense, while being rotten at the core, and I’m not courting death."

The naive young girl looked over serenely and said in a soft voice, "Does Young Master Le think I am naive too?"

"Uh..." Le Zhao chuckled awkwardly, "Miss Shen, you are different!"

"Oh," Shen Qinglan said, "Is it a different kind of naivety?"

Le Zhao: ...

Duan Yunfei chuckled unkindly.

Du Bingxue and Fu Junyan exchanged a smile.

Fu Junyan lightly flicked the two strands of hair in front of her forehead and sighed, "It’s been many years since I’ve had such leisurely days."

Having a loved one nearby, friends by her side, and sharing laughs, such days were indeed long missed.

Du Bingxue seemed to remember something, and furrowed her brows as she asked, "When I returned, I saw many Government Officials searching on the road. I inquired and was told that someone died in an inn. Do you know what happened?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to Fu Junyan.

Du Bingxue looked at Fu Junyan in confusion, "You know the reason?"

Fu Junyan’s smile faded, and in a low voice, she said, "I was the one who killed him."

Du Bingxue was slightly taken aback, "Why?"

She knew Fu Junyan’s temperament best. Even when she had military power, she never took innocent lives lightly.

Fu Junyan explained the matter plainly, then said calmly, "These people’s existence is more disgusting than maggots."

"You did well!" Du Bingxue said, "If I encountered such people, I would also kill him to avenge the mother and child."

Le Zhao said, "People like that exist in every country, but usually in remote areas where the Emperor’s rule doesn’t reach. Yet in your Nanfeng Country, such things happen even near the Capital, indeed it needs to be rectified."
