Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 554 - 553: Plotting Something

"Ah!" Constable Tian clicked his tongue twice and said, "What bold words, who do you think you are to demand our lord to personally act? Dream on."

He waved his large hand and said loudly, "Seize these two young women for me."

"Yes!"

The government officials heard this and swarmed forward, intending to restrain the two. Unfortunately, before their sleeves even touched them, they were already sent flying.

Constable Tian was shocked, "Brazen commoners, how dare you resist!"

Du Bingxue presented the Token of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, coldly staring at Constable Tian and asked, "Who are the commoners?"

Seeing the token, Constable Tian trembled all over, his eyes full of disbelief as he stared at Du Bingxue, "You... you’re the second young lady?"

Du Bingxue rarely returned to Tingtai City, so few had seen her in person. If not for the token, this Constable Tian would not have guessed her identity.

Du Bingxue raised her eyes, coldly glaring at him, "Why haven’t you left yet?"

"Yes, yes, it’s my failure to recognize greatness. I’ll leave, I’ll leave right away!"

Constable Tian turned around and, paying no attention to others, hurriedly prepared to leave.

Fatty and his group looked at him in confusion, someone blocked his path and asked, "Constable Tian, what do you mean by this?"

"Oh dear," Constable Tian whispered, "You’ve really kicked an iron plate this time. She’s the second young lady of the Prime Minister’s Mansion!"

"What?"

Fatty and his group were shocked and turned to look at Du Bingxue, but saw Shen Qinglan quickly closing the door, blocking their view.

Seeing this, they hurriedly helped each other and left in disgrace. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"What kind of background does the Zhao Family have?"

Back inside, Shen Qinglan asked softly.

Du Bingxue said, "The Zhao Family is the family of Noble Consort Zhao. They oppress the people in Tingtai City, committing all kinds of evil, relying on Emperor Liu’s favor towards Noble Consort Zhao."

She looked at Shen Qinglan and asked, "You just mentioned that water can carry a boat or overturn it, what do you mean by that?"

"The people are like water, the emperor like a boat. They can carry a boat, as well as swallow it."

Shen Qinglan smiled, "However, it seems the people of Nanfeng Country lack this awareness or will."

"Perhaps they’ve grown accustomed to being exploited!" Du Bingxue gave a bitter smile, "If they had this awareness, they wouldn’t still be unable to escape their hardships."

"Junyan and father seem to be hiding something from me," she looked at Shen Qinglan and said, "That day, at the City Lord Mansion, before father left, he specifically had him and Mr. Duan meet in private. The three talked about something, I don’t know what. However... I always feel they’re secretly arranging something."

Shen Qinglan recalled that some time ago, before going to the estate, Fu Junyan suggested going to the lake, and then Duan Yunfei said, "Good things are about to start, and you still have the leisure to play?"

And also what Duan Yunfei said during their chess draw.

She squinted slightly and nodded in agreement, "I also think they’re plotting something."

If even she wasn’t informed, it must not be a trivial matter.

"So, what exactly is it?" Du Bingxue frowned.

Shen Qinglan pondered and asked, "Have you asked General Fu?"

Du Bingxue nodded, "I already asked, but he said it was nothing and told me not to be suspicious."

"Perhaps General Fu doesn’t want to put you in danger." Shen Qinglan looked at her and said, "Tonight, I’ll ask Yunfei."

The matter she wanted to know was exactly what Duan Yunfei intended to conceal. As long as she asked, he would surely answer.
