CHAPTER 258: CHAPTER 258: WHY IS IT YOU? (PART 2)

Seeing her leave with the empty bowl, Madam Yang quickly reminded, "It’s the first house on the left when you enter the alley. Don’t go to the wrong house, Third Miss!"

"Okay!" Shen Qinglan replied without turning her head.

When she arrived at the Song Mansion, people were still bustling in and out at the entrance.

"Who are you looking for, Miss?"

A woman standing at the door looked at her curiously.

Shen Qinglan handed over the bowl, "I’m here to return this."

"Oh, I see!" The woman took the empty bowl and apologized with a smile, "We’re still busy here, so I’m afraid we can’t entertain you properly. May I know which family you’re from?"

"The Shen Mansion," Shen Qinglan replied.

The woman nodded, "Once we’ve settled things here, we’ll invite you over for tea. Please don’t refuse when the time comes."

"Okay!" Shen Qinglan nodded, "The snow ear pear soup was delicious, thank you!"

"Really?" The woman smiled, "We have plenty more. If you want, I can bring some back for you. You can return the bowl whenever you like!"

"No need!" Shen Qinglan shook her head, "I’m already full. Maybe next time!"

"Sure, take care, Miss. Come again next time!"

Shen Qinglan nodded, just about to turn and leave, when she heard a somewhat familiar voice from inside the mansion.

"Han Auntie, what are you doing at the door?"

The woman turned back and sweetly said, "I’m talking to a guest. Why aren’t you with Madam, young master?"

Shen Qinglan looked at the person who arrived, and her brows slightly raised.

"Oh! Miss Shen, is it you!" Song Ting immediately smiled, "What brings you here?"

Shen Qinglan replied plainly, "I’ve come to return something."

Jiang Han looked at Song Ting in surprise, "Young master, do you know this Miss?"

Song Ting introduced with a smile, "Han Auntie, this young lady’s surname is Shen. She is the lifesaver I mentioned in my letters!"

He then said to Shen Qinglan, "Han Auntie is Song Qing’s mother. You can call her Han Auntie just like me."

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Han Auntie!"

"Oh, so you are the lifesaver of the young master and Qing’er!" Jiang Han quickly took her hand warmly, "We haven’t yet thanked Miss Shen. Since you’re here, why not join us for a meal and give us a chance to properly thank you for saving my son and Qing’er!"

Shen Qinglan withdrew her hand and smiled gently, "No need, I’m already full. Maybe another time!"

She had indeed eaten quite a lot today, with lunch, mung bean soup, and a bowl of snow ear soup, she was quite full.

Moreover, she had already received a thank-you gift.

"Since you’re here, why not come in and sit for a while!" Song Ting suggested, "Mr. Duan and his friends are inside."

"They’re here too?" Shen Qinglan was curious.

Song Ting smiled, "Our Medicine Sect and Yongning Manor are business partners. Since my parents are here, Mr. Duan naturally had to visit while he’s in Jinxi Town."

"Young master, Miss Shen, it’s hot outside! Let’s go inside to talk!"

After saying this, Jiang Han handed the bowl to someone else, then ushered Shen Qinglan and Song Ting inside.

Not far away, Song Qing, who was wiping his sword under a tree, suddenly paused with his hand.

From the tree, a slender figure suddenly jumped down, with large almond-shaped eyes glaring at the trio’s back as they went inside. In a displeased tone, the voice said, "Look at that Song Ting, so cold-faced with me but smiling like a flower at other girls!"

"Why is Miss Shen here?" Song Qing suspiciously muttered, "Could it be she knows Mr. Duan is here?"

"What Miss Shen and Mr. Duan?" Lan Ruo frowned, "Who is that girl? Why does Song Ting smile so happily at her?"
