Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 746 - 744: Why Didn’t You Say Anything?

Le Zhao clutched his chest and gave a bitter smile, "It seems Yunfei was right, I can’t be lazy anymore, after all, the enemies of the Le Family are numerous."

Chu Wuqu sheathed his sword, the sharpness in his eyes dissipated instantly, and his expression returned to its usual kindly appearance, "Come on, let’s go back inside and have a cup of hot tea."

Le Zhao nodded and followed closely behind him.

He slightly raised his head, and upon seeing Duan Yunfei and the other two standing or leaning by the door, he couldn’t help but sigh softly. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Hearing his light sigh, Chu Wuqu turned his head and laughed heartily, "Young people shouldn’t be discouraged, the future is long."

Le Zhao gave a helpless smile, nodded, and said, "Predecessor Chu is absolutely right, the future is long."

Chu Wuqu smiled and patted his shoulder, "That’s the spirit!"

Seeing the two returning, Duan Yunfei and Shen Qinglan quickly stepped aside to let Chu Wuqu in first.

Le Zhao stopped at the door and looked at Duan Yunfei, curling his lips as he said, "Tell me, were you just sneaking a laugh?"

"Sneaking a laugh?" Duan Yunfei scoffed, "What would I laugh at? Laugh at you asking for trouble?"

Le Zhao nodded pitifully, "I know I was wrong, please don’t tell Xuan Ying!"

"Tell me what?"

The sudden voice startled Le Zhao, his body froze, and he stiffly turned his head to see Xuan Ying walking slowly towards them from the snow.

"Ah, nothing much!" Le Zhao laughed, "I just told Miss Shen to prepare an extra serving of lotus root flour ribs for you and asked her not to tell you."

"Isn’t that right, Miss Shen?" Le Zhao looked at Shen Qinglan expectantly.

Before Shen Qinglan could answer, Xuan Ying lightly sneered, "Isn’t it just that your swordsmanship has regressed? What is there to hide, it’s not like I didn’t already know."

"Ah?" Le Zhao awkwardly touched his nose, "You saw it all?"

"The Young Master asked you to practice the sword, but you didn’t listen. Can you blame anyone for losing face today?" Xuan Ying raised his brow, "Didn’t you used to love practicing swordsmanship? Why have you neglected it these past few months?"

"No, that’s not right!" Duan Yunfei narrowed his eyes, "When you were in Nanfeng Country, your swordsmanship wasn’t this weak."

Le Zhao paused slightly, then quickly smiled and changed the topic, "Ah, it’s very cold outside, can you let me go inside for a cup of tea first?"

"Did something happen?" Duan Yunfei grabbed him, his eyebrows furrowing in concern, "Tell us the truth."

"Nothing, really nothing!" Le Zhao removed Duan Yunfei’s hand with a calm voice, "Don’t overthink it, I’m fine."

Shen Qinglan and the three others, Xuan Ming, Xuan Ying, were also startled by Duan Yunfei’s sudden action and question.

Xuan Ying looked at Le Zhao and said, "Le Zhao, you..."

"I’m really fine!" Le Zhao smiled at him, "Since you’re not letting me in, I’ll go change my clothes first. Fell in the snow so many times, my clothes are wet."

"Le Zhao, I’m not kidding." Duan Yunfei stared at him with a serious tone, "You better be really fine."

The smile on Le Zhao’s face instantly vanished, biting his lip in silence.

"Ah—"

Chu Wuqu sighed quietly, "Isn’t his right shoulder injured?"

Everyone paused in surprise, Xuan Ying furrowed his brow, "It was during the time in Nanfeng Country, he did get hurt once, but..."

"But you thought the injury wasn’t serious, right?" Chu Wuqu said, "His injuries are not just superficial, his shoulder’s acromial ligaments are also injured."

"What?" Xuan Ying abruptly turned his head, glaring at Le Zhao as he questioned, "Why didn’t you say anything at the time?"
