CHAPTER 124: CHAPTER 124: WINTER CLOTHING

"Mother, have you gone to the nearby villages to look for Aunt?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"Of course we did," Dong Yao sighed lightly. "We’ve searched all the nearby villages, and everyone said they haven’t seen her."

Alive, we need to see the person; dead, we need to see the body. Dong Lian’s disappearance is a complete mystery.

Shen Qinglan just hoped that wherever she was, she could live well!

Ever since the shocking prices in the town spread, the refugees no longer had any intention of entering the town.

The people had become quite honest, eating when they should, drinking when they should, behaving very obediently.

That afternoon, Shen Qinglan was resting in her room when she heard the voices of Shen Qinghe and Shen Qingju outside the door.

"Qinglan, there’s something for you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan got up and opened the door, only to see the two of them holding several pieces of clothing.

Once inside, they placed the clothes on her bed.

"The material of these clothes is really good, it looks lightweight but is warm when you put your hands in, must have cost quite a bit of silver, huh?"

Shen Qingju finished speaking and pouted, "You girl, with such nice winter clothes, you didn’t order a couple of sets for me and Cousin!"

"Hmm?" Shen Qinglan frowned, "Weren’t they made by you two?"

She had assumed they made them for her, as she hadn’t touched the clothes yet to know what the material was like.

"What are you talking about?" Shen Qingju gave her a sideways glance, "Sister doesn’t have a single coin on her, how could she afford such precious material?"

Shen Qinghe raised an eyebrow, "Qinglan, are these not yours?"

Shen Qinglan shook her head, "I didn’t order them, could they have been delivered by mistake?"

"How could that be?" Shen Qingju hesitated and said, "The person clearly delivered them here, specifically naming you."

This was rather strange!

Shen Qinglan casually picked up a set to take a look, then tried it against herself, and indeed it was her size.

This clothing was almost tailor-made for her.

Shen Qinghe said, "Such good material, only Yongning Clothing Shop would have it!"

Yongning Clothing Shop?

Could it be...

Duan Yunfei’s extraordinarily handsome face appeared in Shen Qinglan’s mind, making her smile.

"Something’s up!" Shen Qingju squinted her eyes slightly, "Come on, is it from some young gentleman?"

Shen Qinglan put the clothes back, not answering her, but changing the subject, "Yongning Clothing Shop, right? Once the refugee issue is resolved, I’ll take you two shopping."

Shen Qingju was delighted, "You mean it?"

"When have I ever lied to you?" Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow.

"That’s settled then!" Shen Qingju chuckled, "When the time comes, don’t think of backing out, both Cousin and I heard it!"

Shen Qinglan chuckled lightly, "No worries."

"By the way," Shen Qingju asked, "What’s wrong with Mother today? When I saw her this morning, her eyes were especially red. I asked her what’s wrong, but she didn’t say anything."

Dong Yao didn’t want to say, and naturally, Shen Qinglan wouldn’t either.

She shook her head, "I don’t know."

Shen Qingju didn’t believe her, "But I clearly saw she was fine before, and after you talked with her, she became like that."

"Maybe she felt sorry for the refugees after hearing me talk about their situation, and that’s what upset her."

"Oh, I see!" Shen Qingju looked enlightened.

"Qinglan, this attire... could it be from Young Master Luo?"

Shen Qinghe once again brought the topic back to the clothing.

Shen Qinglan was exasperated, shaking her head, "No, I’m not very acquainted with Young Master Luo."

Shen Qinghe was surprised, "Didn’t Brother say you introduced him to Young Master Luo? How could you not be acquainted?"

She had always thought that Shen Qinglan and Luo Tianjie had a good relationship.
