Recovering his senses, Duan Yunfei suddenly chuckled.
Was Shen Qinglan flirting with him?
Xuan Ming, who was guarding outside the door, saw Shen Qinglan leaving in a hurry and thought she had something urgent. However, when he heard his master suddenly chuckling, he couldn’t help but feel curious.
"Young Master, why did Miss Shen leave?"
Xuan Ming looked at Duan Yunfei, who was tidying up his clothes, and thought: Could it be that the Young Master bullied the young lady?
Duan Yunfei didn’t reply, he just straightened his clothes and handed the blueprint Shen Qinglan had given him to Xuan Ming, saying, "When the rain stops, take this to the blacksmith shop and have Blacksmith Huang find someone to make these according to the designs. Thirty pieces of each, and say it’s urgent."
Xuan Ming flipped through the blueprints and saw several he had never seen before.
"Young Master, what do you need these for?"
"They’re useful." After saying that, Duan Yunfei yawned and propped his chin with his hand, asking, "Is Miss Shen’s winter clothing ready yet?"
Xuan Ming hesitated and said, "I don’t know, it’s only been two days; it might not be that quick!"
"It’s getting colder and colder, have them speed up the work."
Xuan Ming nodded, "Yes!"
Duan Yunfei responded with a hum, got up, and went back to his bedroom.
After leaving Duan Yunfei’s courtyard, Shen Qinglan rubbed her forehead in frustration.
Her hand had acted before her brain even finished the thought.
Fortunately, her skin was thick enough; otherwise, she’d probably die of embarrassment on the spot.
Shen Qinglan paused under her umbrella outside the Half Moon Gate for a moment, then raised her foot and continued walking forward.
A sharp voice came from the side, causing Shen Qinglan to pause her steps. She turned her head slightly and saw Ding Xuan approaching her with an umbrella.
Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, her expression indifferent as she looked at her without speaking.
Ding Xuan stepped forward, lifted her chin arrogantly, and looked directly at her, saying, "I wonder if Miss Shen would accompany me to the house for a chat?"
Shen Qinglan only said two words and continued moving forward.
Ding Xuan, exasperated, rushed to keep up and said while walking, "Do you think Duan Yunfei would really like a wild girl from the countryside like you? He’s merely interested in something new."
After everyone left Duan Yunfei’s courtyard, Ding Xuan pretended to be curious and asked Luo Tianjie, "Young Master Luo, I heard you mentioning Shen Qingfeng just now. Is that gentleman, like you, a scholar proficient in both literary and martial arts?"
Luo Tianjie, being straightforward, didn’t think much and replied, "Not really. Qingfeng doesn’t know martial arts. He’s just talented in literature and has a good temperament. He used to be my schoolmate, but it seems something happened at home, so he never returned to school."
"I wonder, which prominent family is this Shen family from the Capital, and why have I never heard of them?" Ding Xuan asked again.
Luo Tianjie shook his head, "Qingfeng isn’t from the Capital, and the Shen family isn’t there either. He’s from Lishui Village."
Upon hearing this, Ding Xuan asked no more.
Shen Qinglan paused her steps, turned around, and said calmly, "What does it have to do with you?"
Those few words left Ding Xuan speechless.
Shen Qinglan cast a cold glance at her, turned around, and continued walking forward.
"We’ll see about that!"
Ding Xuan glared at Shen Qinglan’s back, gritting her teeth with resentment.
"Tut tut! Miss, if Young Master Duan found out you were threatening his sweetheart here, could you still stay?"
Ding Xuan was startled and turned her head, seeing someone leaning at the corridor’s entrance. The rıghtful source is 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝗂𝗋𝖾⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥
