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

Chapter 345: My Wife Truly Loves to Learn

"Dad, let me go!" Xuan Ming set down his chopsticks and said, "Everyone eat slowly, I’m full!"Duan Nian nodded, "Alright!"

Chu Wuqu snorted coldly and continued serving food to the juniors closest to him.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Chu, but this bowl is already full; I’m afraid it can’t hold more!"

Looking at the mountain of food in the bowl, Le Zhao was full of helplessness.

Shen Qinglan and Xuan Ying ate the fastest and soon emptied their bowls.

Chu Wuqu laughed heartily, "Eat more, there’s plenty of food!"

After the meal, it was already noon.

Luo Jing took Shen Qinglan to her courtyard to talk.

"I heard from Yunfei that the Shen Family already knows about you and Yunfei?"

Shen Qinglan nodded awkwardly, "Yes."

"That’s good!" Luo Jing was delighted, "Aunt was worried that a sudden visit would scare them."

Shen Qinglan smiled without speaking.

"I heard from Yunfei that the Shen Family will be joining the trip to the Capital as well?" Luo Jing asked again.

"Yes!" Shen Qinglan nodded, "Because there’ll be the coming-of-age ceremony, so they’re coming along."

"That’s great!" Luo Jing laughed, "We’ll have company on the road."

Nearby, Mrs. Xuan asked, "I heard the wife of the Medicine Sect is visiting Jinxi Town. Do you know where she is staying?"

"Xun Yi?" Luo Jing smiled, "It’s been years since we last met."

Xun Yi?

Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows; it was the first time she’d heard of Mrs. Song’s name.

She said, "The Song Mansion is at the alley entrance."

"And where is the Shen Mansion?" Luo Jing asked with a smile.

Shen Qinglan smiled, "Right next door."

"Right next door?" Luo Jing chuckled teasingly, "Yunfei is quite the finder; it’s all conveniently close!"

Shen Qinglan’s lips twitched awkwardly, her face slightly flushed.

She stood up and said, "Aunt and Mei Aunt just came down the mountain, they must be tired, so I won’t disturb you any longer!"

"Alright," Luo Jing nodded, "You should rest too. If there’s nothing in the evening, maybe you could take your aunt and me to visit Mrs. Song."

"Sure!" Shen Qinglan nodded, "Then I’ll head back!"

Luo Jing smiled warmly, "Go on!"

"This child," Mrs. Xuan chuckled, "She’s much more cheerful than when we first met."

"Yes!" Luo Jing laughed, "Back then, she’d only answer what was asked, and always with just a word or two. When not questioned, she’d sit quietly, not uttering a word for ages."

Mrs. Xuan couldn’t help but smile, "Maybe she was shy then."

...

Just as Shen Qinglan left the courtyard, she saw Duan Yunfei leaning outside the round moon gate, his narrow eyes smiling at her.

She frowned, "What are you doing here?"

"I guessed that you’d come out shortly after going in."

He stood straight, smiling, "Off to home then?"

"Yes!" She nodded, "While no one’s around, I want to practice my swordsmanship."

"Do you need my guidance?" Duan Yunfei asked.

She nodded with a smile, "Sure!"

"Then let’s go!"

Once they passed the Duan Mansion gates, Shen Qinglan asked, "Why didn’t I see Mr. Le and Senior Chu?"

"Le Zhao is resting; Master has already left," Duan Yunfei chuckled, "He said he didn’t want to see the elder’s old face, so he left for the back mountain right after lunch."

"Why don’t we head to the back mountain as well?" Shen Qinglan suggested, "I want to practice my Qinggong more!"

"Alright!"

Duan Yunfei suddenly moved closer, his lips curving as he gazed at her. Shen Qinglan’s heart skipped, and she coughed lightly, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing," Duan Yunfei sighed softly, "Just wanted to compliment, my dear wife sure loves learning."

Shen Qinglan suppressed the urge to roll her eyes, pushing him away with a playful glare.
