Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 752 - 750: Watching Yunfei

In the blink of an eye, it was already December.

The moonlight tonight had a hazy chill to it, and Shen Qinglan sat on a small stool in the courtyard, quietly gazing at this silver world.

It had been over a month since she last parted ways with Duan Yunfei and the others in Jinxi Town.

"Why are you sitting here alone at night, my lady?" Xichun came over, wrapped in a cloak, her face unnaturally pale under the moonlight.

Shen Qinglan frowned, "Why do you look so unwell?"

Xichun gently coughed weakly, covering her mouth, and said, "It’s nothing, just a little cough."

"Weren’t you fine this morning?" Shen Qinglan pulled over another small stool and handed it to her.

Xichun quietly thanked her before taking the small stool and sat beside her.

"I just started feeling like coughing a while ago," Xichun coughed again and said, "I was afraid to disturb Lian Qiu and the others, so I decided to come out for a walk and will return once they’re asleep."

"If you’re not feeling well, why not wear more layers?" Shen Qinglan frowned slightly, "Wait here for a moment."

She stood up and went inside, returning with a brocade cloak and a cup of water,

"Have a cup of warm water."

She handed her the water and then draped the brocade cloak over Xichun.

Xichun stifled her cough and said, "Thank you, my lady!"

She smiled faintly and said, "You’re welcome."

Xichun took a sip of water before looking at her and asked, "Why haven’t you gone to sleep yet, my lady?"

"Couldn’t sleep." Shen Qinglan gazed at the sky and said, "The moonlight is nice tonight, so I wanted to come out and sit for a while."

Xichun held the cup in both hands and said softly, "Is the lady too nervous, is that why she can’t sleep?"

"Nervous?" Shen Qinglan was taken aback, "What would I be nervous about?"

Xichun said, "Isn’t the lady feeling sleepless because the big day is approaching, and she’s getting anxious?"

"No." Shen Qinglan shook her head slightly, half-serious and half-joking, "I just miss your future master a bit."

Xichun was stunned, then coughed a couple of times and laughed, "So, the lady misses the master."

"Yes." Shen Qinglan nodded honestly, "I do miss him."

In the past, she could see him every few days, so it never felt significant. But now, having not seen him for more than a month, she indeed missed him a little.

Xichun chuckled softly, "I think, my lady didn’t come out to admire the moon but to look for Yunfei instead?"

Shen Qinglan was taken aback, then broke into a gentle smile.

Isn’t she indeed out here to see Yunfei?

Duan Yunfei, Yunfei...

Seeing her not answer, Xichun couldn’t help but tease, "Is it possible that the lady is not replying because I was right?"

Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow and said, "You usually seem so quiet and reserved, who would’ve thought you could tease someone?"

"You misjudged me, my lady!" Xichun laughed, "I’m not a silent person."

"Is that so?" Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow.

Xichun usually busied herself with tasks and rarely spoke, she was the epitome of an honest person.

Her temperament, along with Lian Qiu and Nian Xia, was nearly the same, differing from Fu Dong and A Man, possibly due to their age.

The three had relatively more experience than Fu Dong and the others, hence their actions were more steady.

"My lady, when you get married, will we stay at the Shen Family, or go with you to Yongning Manor?"

Shen Qinglan was slightly taken aback at this question, she hadn’t considered it before.

To her, these maids, including Xichun, were essentially part of the Shen Family, so she had never thought about taking them to Yongning Manor.
