Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 552 - 551: Discord Between the Military and the Common People

"Whose courtyard is this?"

Shen Qinglan curiously examined the courtyard adorned with exotic plants and blossoms.

"This is Junyan’s private courtyard."

Du Bingxue pushed open the door, letting the young man carry the child inside and place him on the bed, then sat nearby to take the child’s pulse.

The young woman and young man stood by, watching with anxious expressions.

Shen Qinglan found a chair, brushed the dust off, and then sat down.

The young man looked at her in surprise, his eyes filled with doubt and curiosity.

This girl seemed frail, yet unexpectedly had such good skills, and her demeanor seemed carefree, different from the noble girls he had seen before.

Those girls seemed very concerned about appearances, not only they wouldn’t sit on such a dusty chair, they would look at it with disdain, but she just brushed off the dust directly.

"Anything the matter?" Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows and looked at the young man.

The young man was startled, his ears suddenly flushed red, "No... nothing."

"I’m Wang Tianyou," he looked at Shen Qinglan and said, "May I know your esteemed name?"

"Shen Qinglan."

"Shen Qinglan?" Wang Tianyou asked, "Is it Qing as in clear water and Lan as in the orchid?"

Shen Qinglan slightly nodded.

Wang Tianyou smiled, "Your name is truly elegant."

Shen Qinglan gave a faint smile, "Why were you attacked by those people?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Tianyou sighed lightly, while Madam Wang dabbed her tears and said, "When the child suddenly fell unconscious, we were anxious and came in a hurry without changing into decent clothes. Those people thought we were beggars, so..."

Madam Wang stopped halfway, suddenly paused, and wiped her tears again.

Shen Qinglan furrowed her brows, "Is entering Tingtai City reliant on wearing decent clothes?"

"If you dress poorly, you’ll be seen as a beggar," Wang Tianyou said, "Those noble sons bully us commoners, and no one cares, so they dare to be so presumptuous."

Shen Qinglan coldly laughed, "Then what’s the point of having a Government? To protect aristocratic rights, allowing them to be even more arrogant?"

Wang Tianyou was puzzled, "Miss... are you not from our Nanfeng Country?"

Shen Qinglan shook her head, "No!"

"No wonder!" Wang Tianyou gave a bitter smile, "It’s always been like this in our Nanfeng Country. As long as nobles bully commoners, even if it’s reported, no one cares. But if the tables turn, regardless of right or wrong, they directly execute the commoners."

"So..." Shen Qinglan narrowed her eyes, "Is this why you didn’t resist even though you know martial arts?"

Wang Tianyou nodded and said sorrowfully, "If I resist, not just me, even my family would be punished, so I cannot resist."

Shen Qinglan’s worldview was simply overturned by this country’s system.

In the eyes of those noble sons, the lives of commoners were no different from ants, easily crushed. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"In the end..." Shen Qinglan said coldly, "It’s because your Nanfeng Country’s military and civilians aren’t united. Water can carry a boat but also tip it over. If the hearts of the military and civilians were united, how could such a system not have been overthrown by now?"

Wang Tianyou and Du Bingxue were simultaneously taken aback.

Du Bingxue withdrew her thoughts and removed her hand from the child’s pulse.

Upon seeing, Madam Wang hurried over and asked, "Miss, what is wrong with my son?"

Du Bingxue stood up and said, "The child is fine, just overly hungry, which caused him to fall asleep."

"Overly hungry?" Madam Wang was taken aback, wiped her tears again and said, "It’s all my fault, I was only focused on those few crops and forgot about the child!"
