Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart

Chapter 316: Some Clues Emerged

Duan Yunfei sneered, "Because he thinks brother-in-law is more valuable than Chen Feng, besides, brother-in-law has no mother and no family, making it easier to control."Shen Qinglan sighed softly, why would anyone like such a selfish person?

"Speaking of which, there’s one thing I’ve been puzzled about."

"What is it?" Duan Yunfei asked.

"It’s about the Xu family’s members," Shen Qinglan said. "Wasn’t it said that back then, the Xu family people all tried to stop Xu from marrying Xiao Wu? Then where did those Xu family members go afterward?"

"They’re all dead!" Duan Yunfei whispered.

"Dead?" Shen Qinglan frowned, "How did they die?"

Duan Yunfei sighed lightly, "Xu was an only child, and after her parents died of illness, there was no one left in the Xu family."

Shen Qinglan remained silent; an Xu, a Xiao Wu, two families, just fragmented like that.

If the Xu family hadn’t stopped them back then, perhaps today’s heart-wrenching result wouldn’t have happened.

"Speaking of brother-in-law’s matter, I actually forgot to tell you some news." Duan Yunfei said, "It seems there’s a bit of a lead regarding your aunt."

"Really?" Shen Qinglan’s heart skipped a beat, "Is there news of her whereabouts?"

Duan Yunfei shook his head, "There isn’t."

He said, "I went to the broker today, intending to buy some people to help clean the new yard, and remembered your aunt’s matter, so I casually asked."

"Then, what did that person say?" Shen Qinglan impatiently asked.

"The old woman said that at that time, there indeed was a child, she doesn’t quite remember the age," Duan Yunfei said, "The child looked good, asked for the name, it was Dong Lian. But later someone from another town took a fancy to her, saying they wanted to buy her back to bring joy to the family, and so they bought her."

"Bring joy?" Shen Qinglan’s heart ached, "Such a young child!"

Duan Yunfei gently patted her back and whispered, "In any case, it at least proves she was alive at that time!"

Alive at that time, but what about afterward?

So many years have passed, what if that family wasn’t good and mistreated her?

"Did the old woman truly not remember which town’s people bought my aunt?" She asked anxiously.

Duan Yunfei shook his head, "I gave her money, she said she indeed couldn’t remember, she could only confirm it was someone from our Yunye Country."

"But...Yunye Country is so vast, with so many towns, where do I start looking?"

"You have me!" Duan Yunfei said, "I’ll send someone to help you find her, even if it means searching the entire Yunye Country, I’ll find her for you!"

Shen Qinglan closed her eyes slightly, suppressing all kinds of thoughts in her mind.

Her only hope now is that the family would treat Dong Lian kindly, allowing her to live healthily.

"I’ve made a vow, once everything stabilizes, I’ll personally go to find my aunt." She said firmly, "I must find her, alive to see her, dead to find the body!"

Duan Yunfei sighed softly, once someone is stubborn like this, if not realized, they might well hit a brick wall and not turn back.

He gently advised, "For now, you just need to recover well, leave the rest to me!"

Shen Qinglan responded softly, looking at him, "It’s late, you should go back and rest early."

"I’ll be going then!" Duan Yunfei helped her lie down, covered her with a thin quilt, and whispered, "Don’t think too much, rest well, the future is long, there’s plenty of time to find her, no rush at this moment!"

Shen Qinglan nodded, "You’ve been busy all day and are tired too, go back and rest early!"
