Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart Chapter 368: The Secluded Courtyard

"Why?" Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, "Is this a strict rule?"

"More or less."

Duan Yunfei said lightly, "Because, Madam Le is a mber of the Shangguan Family, and the reason the Le Family has achieved today’s success, aside from Le Xuan’s business skills, is largely due to the help from the Shangguan Family."

"Then... can’t Le Xuan marry?" Shen Qinglan asked again.

Duan Yunfei chuckled softly, riding the horse as he spoke, "Not to ntion whether Madam Le would agree or not, do you think the Shangguan Family would allow their daughter to beco a concubine in the Le Mansion?"

Shen Qinglan suddenly understood, so Le Xuan is already married!

"Moreover..."

Duan Yunfei paused for a mont, turned his head to look at her, and said, "The girl from the Shangguan Family only likes Le Zhao."

"The fact that Le Zhao likes n is not completely known in the Capital, but most people are aware, doesn’t that Shangguan girl know?" she asked, puzzled.

"What does knowing change?" Duan Yunfei laughed slightly, "Feelings are not sothing you can control."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan couldn’t help but feel sorry for the Shangguan girl.

The alley they were walking through was rather secluded, so there were hardly any people on the road.

"Aren’t we supposed to return to the Duan Mansion?"

Shen Qinglan looked at the quiet courtyard in front of her, puzzled.

"We’re not going back yet." Duan Yunfei got off the horse and pushed the door open.

"Young Master!"

The young boy weeding in the courtyard looked up as soon as he saw Duan Yunfei and instantly stood up with a bright smile.

Duan Yunfei led the horse and entered with Shen Qinglan, "Xiao Wu, where’s Uncle Ye?"

"My father went out!" Xiao Wu patted the dirt off his hands, smiling, "Why did the Young Master suddenly co?"

Duan Yunfei laughed, "I brought my lady over to see where I used to live."

"Ah?" Xiao Wu was stunned, "The Young Master got married?"

Duan Yunfei nodded, "Yes, it was just recently."

Shen Qinglan secretly gave him a sidelong glance but said nothing.

"Young Master, how could you?" Xiao Wu said with a face full of grievance, "My father and I ca down the mountain, traveled thousands of miles to the Capital to guard your courtyard, and you didn’t invite us to your wedding!"

Shen Qinglan noticed that the more he spoke, the more aggrieved his expression beca, and by the end, there were faint tears in his eyes.

Seeing his expression, Duan Yunfei burst into laughter.

"Xiao Wu, you’re still so naive?" Duan Yunfei said amusedly, "Just teasing you."

He pulled Shen Qinglan over and introduced, "This is your Young Master, my future wife, you may call her Young Madam or Miss."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu broke into a smile and bowed deeply to Shen Qinglan, "Hello, Young Madam!"

Shen Qinglan tugged at the corner of her mouth, glared at Duan Yunfei, and corrected, "Xiao Wu, is it? Just call Miss Shen!"

"Yes, Young Madam!"

Shen Qinglan: ...

Alright, call whatever is convenient.

Duan Yunfei chuckled lightly.

He handed the horse over to Xiao Wu and instructed, "We’ll sit in the pavilion in the back yard for a while; later, have soone prepare so bath water and bring it to my room."

"Yes!"

Although Duan Yunfei hadn’t returned for a long ti, the room he once stayed in was cleaned every few days, so there was no need to tidy it.

"This is the courtyard I lived in when I ca to the Capital for school."

Duan Yunfei led Shen Qinglan past the rockery, speaking softly, "Near the Duan Mansion are all affluent households, and the teacher found it noisy, so I bought this courtyard."

Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, "Teacher?"

"Yes!" Duan Yunfei held her hand and said, "My teacher was the contemporary renowned scholar Mr. Yi Bai. Unfortunately, he has left the Capital to travel, otherwise, I would definitely take you to visit him."

He smiled and said, "Your calligraphy is so good; if he saw it, he’d surely love it!"
