Chapter 374 They Came to the Door
Shangguan Jin whispered something to Shen Qingyue, and that very night Shen Qingyue hugged Shangguan Jin and said she wanted to sleep with her mother.
Shen Qingyue also told Shangguan Jin what was on her mind.
They said they didn't actually notice Lian Qianli at first.
At first, she thought Lian Qianli was a bit slow...
After all, it's rare for a killer to drug themselves just to hear gossip.
It was only after getting to know him that I realized he was actually a very nice person.
He was nominally an assassin, but he had never actually killed anyone.
It's not because my kung fu skills are lacking, it's just that I'm not interested.
Even Hua Wanli said that Lian Qianli's skills were actually superior to hers...
In addition, Shen Qingyue also discovered that Lian Qianli was kind-hearted, helpful to the poor, warm-hearted, and righteous...
In short, they are all advantages...
Shangguan Jin listened and nodded.
Well, after knowing him for so many years, Lian Qianli is indeed a high-quality man with excellent character.
There's no so-called "white moonlight," no unforgettable memory, and no childhood sweetheart who suddenly appears...
Both parents are influential figures in the underworld...
The only downside was that I seemed a bit awkward when we first met...
But Shangguan Jin felt that even Qianli's dazedness at that time was probably an act.
A classic case of playing dumb to outsmart others...
If he were really that stupid, how did he manage to build the Spring Festival Gala into such a large and successful business, even surpassing his own mother's Wanhualou in fame?
As for his identity...
Haha, Emperor Xiaowu has already acknowledged Chun Buwan's transcendent status, so who would dare to say anything?
Indeed, the more Shangguan Jin thought about it, the better she felt that Lian Qianli was quite good.
Having had her thoughts exposed by Shangguan Jin, Shen Qingyue was too embarrassed to go to Chunbuwan the next day and stayed home to rest.
However, her decision not to go gave Dongmai an opportunity.
After serving Shangguan Jin breakfast, Dongmai took Aunt Xin and headed to Chunbuwan.
Once there, they specifically asked for Lian Qianli by name.
When Lian Qianli heard that Dongmai and Aunt Xin were looking for him, his first thought was that something must have happened at the Duke's mansion!
In addition, in the morning, Shen Qingyue's personal maid from the Duke's Mansion came and took away all the letters that Chun Buwan had sent from various places.
They said the young lady had something to attend to today and couldn't come to the teahouse...
Lian Qianli hurriedly arrived at Dongmai and Aunt Xin's private room.
"Aunt Dong, Aunt Xin!" Lian Qianli still maintained perfect etiquette.
Dongmai and Aunt Xin got up to return the greeting, and then they both sat down again.
Seeing that the two remained silent, Lian Qianli felt even more uneasy.
He sat down opposite the two of them.
Aunt Xin glanced at Dongmai, then at Lian Qianli, thinking about Dongmai's instructions from last night.
Let her help out by playing the supporting role...
How should we play the drums here? She thought about it all night...
"Aunt Dong..."
"Young Master Lian..."
Lian Qianli and Dongmai opened their mouths at the same time.
As soon as Lian Qianli saw Dongmai speak, he quickly made a gesture of "Please go first."
Madam Shen sent out Concubine Dong and Concubine Xin, so it must be something important.
Lian Qianli sat up straight, his expression serious, ready to listen carefully to what important matter it was.
"Young Master Lian... do you have feelings for our young lady?" Dongmai also took a direct approach.
Lian Qianli was still wondering what kind of important matter it was...
"Yes! You must have feelings for the young lady in our mansion."
"The last time I saw you, you were smiling at our young lady's back." Aunt Xin quickly stepped in to play her part.
Lian Qianli's hands clenched involuntarily, and sweat began to bead on his forehead.
"Also, you keep sending our young lady books, food, and toys all the time."
"We're not related, why are you being so hospitable?" Dongmai continued.
"Well, you're not the young lady's biological brother, cousin, or anything like that."
"Why are you so kind to our young lady?" Aunt Xin immediately followed up.
"If it's because you're familiar with our household, then why didn't you call the three young masters and the second young lady to see us off?" Dongmai kept talking.
“That makes a lot of sense. Why did you only send it to the eldest young lady?” Aunt Xin continued to ask.
Thousands of miles...
Lian Qianli was completely stunned by this series of questions and it took him a while to react.
What they said... made a lot of sense.
“I…” Lian Qianli felt he needed to say something.
But once I opened my mouth, I didn't know what to say.
In matters like this, his eloquence was far inferior to that of his younger sister, Hua Wanli.
Furthermore, he didn't know how to tell his two concubines about these things...
"Actually, we're just here to confirm whether you really have feelings for our young lady."
Nothing else.
Okay, now that you haven't objected, that means you've agreed.
"We're done here, Young Master Lian. You're busy, we'll head back now." Dongmai said, then stood up.
Aunt Xin naturally got up as well.
Seeing that the two people, who had only stayed for less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, had left, Lian Qianli quickly stood up.
“Aunt Dong, Aunt Xin…” Lian Qianli still didn’t know what to say.
Winter wheat waved goodbye.
"No need to see us off, we just happened to be passing by, it's nothing serious, haha!"
After saying that, Dongmai pulled Aunt Xin downstairs and back to the mansion.
On the way back to the mansion, Dongmai and Aunt Xin sat in the carriage.
"That's it? That's all you said?" Aunt Xin was a little surprised.
"Or what else? Set up a table, bring two jugs of wine, and talk for three days and three nights?"
We're here today to make our stance clear to Young Master Lian.
We know what you're thinking, and so does my young lady.
As for you, just do whatever you need to do!
"However, you'd better behave yourself, after all, the Shen family isn't to be trifled with." Dongmai continued.
Aunt Xin seemed to understand, yet she also seemed not to understand.
Dongmai sighed as she looked at Aunt Xin, who still looked completely bewildered.
How can Yunniang still be so foolish!
She's not losing money in business now; it's definitely thanks to the mansion's influence...
......
After staring dumbfounded as Dongmai and Aunt Xin left, Lian Qianli touched his forehead, which was covered in sweat...
He knew that Aunt Dong and Aunt Xin wouldn't have come here for no reason.
This is probably related to Madam Shen.
What exactly did Madam Shen mean?
Agree or disagree?
For the first time, Lian Qianli felt uncertain.
