Chapter 97: Chapter 97
This time even Duan Yunfei was stunned.
"Are you sure these words were spoken by Le Zhao?"
Such straightforward and explicit words, were they really said by Le Zhao?
Duan Yunfei couldn’t quite describe it for a moment.
Xuan Ying pouted and said, "I heard and saw it with my own ears and eyes, and it was spoken right in front of me."
"Speaking of which..." Duan Yunfei paused with the teacup in his hand before continuing, "When we were in the Capital, Le Zhao was quite nice to you."
With that, Xuan Ming recalled it as well.
He laughed and said, "I remember, Young Master Le had a superior jade inkstone. Young Master Yan had asked for it for years, yet he refused to give it, saying he wanted to give it to Xuan Ying. In the end, he really did give it to Xuan Ying."
Though Xuan Ying later tossed the inkstone to Xuan Ming, Le Zhao wasn’t joking; when he said he’d give it, he really did.
That inkstone was worth at least several hundred thousand taels, and he just gave it away just like that.
Duan Yunfei glanced at Xuan Ying and said nothing more.
Le Zhao having an interest in men, as a friend, he naturally knew a bit about it. He just didn’t expect that Le Zhao would take a liking to Xuan Ying!
This caught him a bit off guard.
He waved his hand lightly and said, "It’s getting late, go ahead and do what you need to."
Xuan Ming and Xuan Ying hurriedly helped him lie back on the couch, moved the brazier closer, blew out the candle, and then left.
Xuan Ming left with an umbrella, but Xuan Ying didn’t go; instead, he rested in the adjoining room.
The next day, the rain stopped again, but the sky still showed no sign of clearing up.
On the way to Jinxi Town, Shen Qinglan remained in a quandary.
She didn’t know how to explain to the Shen Family about Duan Yunfei recuperating in the house she bought.
"Judging by this weather, it looks like it’ll snow next month!"
Dong Yao whispered while holding the shivering Shen Qingping.
Shen Qingju blew on her hands and said, "It’s usually still mild this time of year, but it’s really cold this year!"
As they spoke, white puffs of breath appeared from their mouths.
Shen Qingzhu stated calmly, "I think it’s manageable."
"How dare you say that!"
Shen Qingju glared at him and said, "You’re wrapped in so many layers, aren’t you afraid of steaming yourself?"
Shen Qinglan glanced at Shen Qingzhu, who was bundled up like a dumpling, and found it somewhat amusing.
Dong Yao frowned and said, "Didn’t your sister Qinghe give you a winter coat? Where is it? Why aren’t you wearing it?"
Shen Qingzhu said, "It’s in the box saved for New Year’s."
Dong Yao disapproved, "Keeping warm is more important, don’t let yourself get frostbitten."
"You can buy a new one for the New Year."
Shen Qinglan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.
Shen Qingzhu shook his head and said, "Third Sister, keep your money. When I have money in the future, I’ll buy you all new clothes and also send my little brother and cousin to school."
If Shen Qingzhu hadn’t mentioned it, Shen Qinglan would have nearly forgotten about this.
She looked at Shen Qingping and asked, "Qingping, do you want to go to school?"
"Will Qing’an go too?" Shen Qingping asked.
Shen Qinglan nodded, "You’ll both go together." Chapters fırst released on 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝
Shen Qingping said, "If Qing’an goes, I’ll go too!"
Shen Qinglan reached out and patted his small head, saying, "We’ll bring Qing’an to town, and you can go together then."
Dong Yao observed Shen Qinglan for a long time, and couldn’t help but sigh.
The person they used to have to take care of now in turn took care of them with such care.
Sometimes Dong Yao couldn’t help but feel that Shen Qinglan was too mature. She rarely spoke, always quietly handling everything before telling them.
This personality, she didn’t know if it was good or bad!
