After Liu Xiaoting left the courtyard, He Qiuge looked at Shen Qinglan, somewhat awkwardly saying, "I'm sorry, Third Young Lady, my sister doesn't know any better and has put you in a difficult position."
Shen Qinglan smiled lightly, "The one truly in a difficult position would be Young Master He."
He Qiuge sighed softly. Shen Qinglan and his own sister were clearly the same age, yet how was it that Shen Qinglan appeared calm and sensible, while his sister was as naive and ignorant as a young child?
He Qiuge gestured politely, smiling lightly as he said, "Miss Shen, please have a seat. Grandpa Shen and my grandfather should be back soon."
Just as he spoke, from afar rang the hearty laughter of Village Chief He.
As he approached, Village Chief He laughed heartily, "Qinglan, you have truly made something of yourself now!"
