Chapter 91: Chapter 91
Upon hearing Xuan Ying’s words, Shen Qinglan finally remembered that Duan Yunfei was expecting guests today.
She nodded slightly, "Then you wait here, I’ll go buy some things."
Shen Qinglan bought a pile of food and clothes, Xuan Ying followed her, thinking he might be able to help out. However, Shen Qinglan did not give him the chance at all.
A pile of stuff, Shen Qinglan just carried it effortlessly with one hand, her waist not even bending.
Although he had witnessed Shen Qinglan’s exceptional strength on the mountain before, Xuan Ying was still amazed upon seeing it again today.
This strength, even he didn’t have it. He really wondered what Shen Qinglan had been eating to grow up .
After loading everything onto the carriage, Shen Qinglan looked at Xuan Ying and said, "I will leave now, please inform your young master that I won’t be returning today."
Xuan Ying nodded, "Alright!"
Shen Qinglan nodded slightly, then got onto the carriage, instructing the driver to leave Jinxi Town.
Just past a grove, fog began to rise around, growing denser, making it hard to see the road ahead.
Initially a bit worried, Shen Qinglan noticed the driver calmly driving the carriage without a hint of anxiety.
It seems that those around Duan Yunfei are not ordinary people!
After the carriage ran for about another fifteen minutes, the rain began to pour down.
A gust of cold wind mingled with rain blew in through the gaps in the curtain, and Shen Qinglan couldn’t help but sneeze.
Near Lishui Village, the driver suddenly stopped the carriage.
"What’s wrong?" Shen Qinglan asked.
The driver responded, "Miss, the water up ahead is too severe, I’m afraid we cannot pass!"
The rain had eased a bit by then, Shen Qinglan lifted the curtain to see the road ahead flooded with muddy water, the depth indiscernible.
This area was low-lying, and heavy rains would easily cause it to flood, turning it into a lake in no time.
Thinking of her family living by the Yingyang River, Shen Qinglan’s heart felt heavy.
In this weather, the rain wouldn’t stop until after a good ten days.
Shen Qinglan said, "Drive through!"
"Can we make it through?" The driver asked skeptically. Follow current novels on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵
Shen Qinglan said, "We can, though there’s a lot of water, it’s not deep, we can manage."
"Alright, Miss, please hold on!"
Saying this, the driver whipped the horse after Shen Qinglan lowered the curtain.
Stung by the whip, the horse neighed and dashed forward instantly.
Upon entering Lishui Village, Shen Qinglan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Though the village was flooded, it wasn’t as severe as she had imagined.
Perhaps due to the heavy rain, the roads were practically deserted.
Shen Qinglan lifted the curtain to direct the driver, and soon the carriage stopped at the Shen Family courtyard.
Shen Qinglan just jumped off the carriage when Shen Qingzhu and Shen Qingping ran out from the house.
Unafraid of the rain, Shen Qingzhu ran over, laughing and shouting, "Third sister!"
Shen Qinglan smiled lightly, calling out, "Second brother!"
Shen Qingping excitedly pounded on Shen Shan and Dong Yao’s door, shouting, "Dad, Mom, third sister is back! She came back in a carriage!"
The door opened in response, and Shen Shan and Dong Yao rushed out from inside.
Dong Yao looked her up and down with a smile, "Our Qinglan has indeed returned!"
"Mom, let me take the things out from the carriage first."
Shen Qinglan said as she lifted the curtain, taking the items out from inside.
Shen Shan and Shen Qingzhu hurried forward to help, the driver also stretched out his hand to take some.
Once everything was moved out, the driver turned to Shen Qinglan and asked, "Miss, is there a guest room in this village?"
