Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart Chapter 496 - 495: Fate’s Cruel Jest

Pei Lian glanced at Zhuang Ruyue indifferently, "Such a useless person, what’s the point of keeping her in the Zhuang Family? Didn’t Aunt always find her an eyesore? Now that she wants to leave, why bother keeping her?"

Her straightforward words left Madam Zhuang a bit embarrassed.

She disliked Zhuang Ruyue; allowing children to bully and scold her was one thing, but hearing it from soone else’s mouth was quite another.

Pei Lian’s words seed to imply she was being harsh and unconcerned about Zhuang Ruyue in front of others.

Even though it was true, hearing it from Pei Lian made her uncomfortable.

Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows in surprise, saying calmly, "It’s rare for Miss Pei to be reasonable, then I shall take this person away."

Pei Lian snorted coldly and turned away, no longer looking at her.

Shen Qinglan smiled and led Zhuang Ruyue towards the gate.

Zhuang Ruyu anxiously wanted to shout, but a stare from Pei Lian stopped her.

The nearby servants, seeing no one speaking to stop them, dared not make any moves and could only form two neat rows, standing tall to respectfully see them off.

The arrest officer Hu saw this and hurriedly bid farewell to Pei Lian, following closely behind Shen Qinglan and the others.

"Lian’er, who is that young lady?" asked Madam Zhuang.

Zhuang Yuanwai also frowned, looking at Pei Lian.

Pei Lian said nonchalantly, "One of the future masters of Jinxi Town."

The Zhuang Family mbers looked confused, not understanding her words.

Pei Lian sat down beside them and said casually, "The future Young Madam of Yongning Manor, Duan Yunfei’s fiancée."

"What!" The Zhuang Family mbers showed shocked expressions.

Zhuang Yuanwai’s heart skipped a beat, and his voice trembled inadvertently, "That poor fellow..."

"I had soone investigate," Pei Lian said, "and today’s reason for my visit was to tell you."

She raised her eyes, looking at Zhuang Yuanwai, "That Shen Qingning is that young lady’s cousin, and that Shen Qingning’s older brother knows the second young master of Bright Moon City, Luo Tianjie, who is also a cousin of Yongning Manor, oh, and his sister Shen Qinghe, who also married into the Jiang Mansion in Jinxi Town to Jiang Zhen’s son, Jiang Ming."

Aside from the relationship with the Pei Family, in comparison, the Zhuang Family and the Jiang Family are virtually equal.

However, the impact of the latter information was nothing compared to the forr – the saying goes, when one person achieves success, those around them prosper. Let’s not ntion the Jiang Family, even Shen Qinglan, upon entering Yongning Manor, who in the Shen Family would dare show any disdain?

Even if there were so, they could only bury it deep in their hearts.

"What good is Zhuang Ruyue? That poor... Young Master Shen actually took a fancy to her!" Zhuang Ruyu gritted her teeth silently.

Previously, she might have scorned Shen Qingning’s identity, but now, she truly envied Zhuang Ruyue for being able to capture Shen Qingning’s favor.

If he can marry into the Shen Mansion, won’t they then be able to lord over those noble daughters who married well?

Shen Qingning, born quite handso, excluding the "poor fellow" label, indeed could move one’s heart.

The ones who regretted the most were naturally Zhuang Yuanwai and Madam Zhuang. If they had known about Shen Qingning’s other identity, wouldn’t the Zhuang Family’s future be better than now?

Now, Zhuang Ruyue is determined to leave the Zhuang Family, and with Shen Qinglan’s status, severing her ties with the Zhuang Family would be a piece of cake.

If they had known earlier, there might have been a chance to salvage the situation, but now... regret cos too late!

Besides lanting the whims of fate, what else could they say?

Just hope that after Zhuang Ruyue leaves, she won’t hold a grudge against the Zhuang Family for their past actions; otherwise, the future might be hard for the Zhuang Family!
