Chapter 92: One is more stubborn than the other

If anything happens between Qingyi and Prince Jin in the future, the things Prince Jin sent must naturally be returned in full.

Chen Mu opened his thin lips and whispered, "What did Qingyi spend all these years? Do you still remember?"

Of course, the things you use should be recorded. If you can buy the same thing, try to buy it and replace it. If you can't buy it, you can only replace it with other valuable items or gold and silver.

Shen Qingyi nodded, took out a very delicate small box, opened it, and took out a stack of red gift lists.

"Every time he sent something, he would come with a gift list, and I saved them all."

"Brother, let's count the things on the ground first. After we finish the accounting, we can check it against the gift list. If there is anything missing, we can list it separately."

"good."

Chen Mu took the thinnest pen and dipped it into the ink.

"Wait," Shen Yaoxing put the box containing the Dongzhu on the table, squinted his eyes and looked at Shen Qingyi, and said, "You should have given him a lot of things, right?"

"Don't tell me you only receive gifts and never give any."

"Am I that kind of person?"

Shen Qingyi bit her lip and said angrily, "Every time he sends me something, I always give a gift in return. Although some of them are not as valuable as what he sent me, they are still not bad in terms of value."

"Did you leave him a bill when you returned the gift?"

"Of course."

"Okay, then take out the bill. Since my brother and I are here today, we will do our best to make the account between you and King Jin clear for you."

"We don't take advantage of others, but we absolutely cannot suffer losses either."

The most Chen Yaoxing can do is not to take advantage of others. If he wants to suffer a loss, don't even think about it.

If something unexpected happens to the marriage between Prince Jin and Shen Qingyi in the future, then when Shen Qingyi returns these things, their family’s things must also be taken back.

Shen Qingyi had no objection to this.

"Oh, I see, but let's do these accounts first so they don't get mixed up."

The three siblings stayed up all night and were busy until the next afternoon before they finally figured out all the accounts.

Shen Mu checked the account book again, closed it and handed it to Shen Qingyi.

"Qingyi, you have to keep these account books safe, understand?"

"Okay, I understand, big brother. Don't worry, I will keep it well."

Taking the account book, Shen Qingyi nodded solemnly.

"Well, we'll be leaving first. You should eat something and get some sleep."

After giving the instructions, Chen Mu looked at Chen Yaoxing and said, "Yaoxing, take me back."

"Oh, okay."

"Hey, wait, big brother~"

Shen Qingyi suddenly thought of something and quickly moved closer to Chen Mu, saying solemnly, "Brother, tomorrow is the Winter Banquet. Have you completed the task I asked you to complete?"

"This matter is extremely important, and no problems can occur."

Hearing this, Chen Mu smiled slightly. Before he could say anything, Chen Yaoxing snorted and looked at her with raised eyebrows in an unruly manner.

"Brother, you still don't trust me? Don't worry, this matter has been taken care of, and there will definitely be no problems."

He and his elder brother made preparations for both scenarios.

If that person is unreliable, then he and his elder brother will immediately start the second-hand preparation.

"Oh, that's good, that's good. By the way, big brother, I will take my little sister with me to the winter banquet tomorrow. Do you want to go?"

Chen Mu frowned and said helplessly, "My little sister is still so young, why did you think of taking her with you? There will be a lot of people tomorrow, what if something happens to my little sister?"

These words made Shen Qingyi feel guilty.

Come to think of it, she is really to blame for the source of this matter.

If she hadn't mentioned the Winter Banquet to my younger sister in order to trick her, my younger sister wouldn't have wanted to go so badly, but she didn't dare admit it.

"But my little sister wants to go, and mom has already agreed to let me and dad ask for a few more people, so big brother, are you going or not?"

"Yes, but I will go with a different identity."

He didn't want to announce to the world so early that his legs were healed, so he had no plans to show up at the Winter Banquet tomorrow.

But now, Qingyi actually wants to take her younger sister with her, so he has to go no matter what, to secretly protect them.

"good."

Shen Qingyi didn't care what identity her elder brother used, as long as he was there. Her elder brother has always been steady and reliable. With him around, she felt at ease with her younger sister.

Then, she looked at Chen Yaoxing again, her eyes teasing and her mouth chuckling.

"So, Chen Yaoxing, what about you? The princess will definitely be there tomorrow, so you should go too, right?"

Chen Yaoxing raised his eyebrows and said, "Go, of course!"

"However, this young master is not after any princess. With my looks, of course I have to give those noble ladies a treat."

Shen Qingyi: "..."

Okay, okay, you just want to be stubborn, right?

In the afternoon, the three siblings each took a nap in their rooms and no one went to eat.

Looking at the empty dining table, Mrs. Shen sighed helplessly.

"These three siblings are really getting more and more unreasonable. They didn't come to dinner last night, and they didn't come all day today."

"If they didn't come, then they didn't come. Don't pay attention to them. I am happy to have some free time."

Shen Yuanhong cooked seriously and occasionally picked up some of her favorite dishes with his chopsticks.

Looking at the piles of rice bowls in front of her, and then looking at the way Shen Yuanhong was eating, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but sigh.

"Mu'er is here because of that girl in the yard, Qingyi should be busy with the accounts, and what on earth is Yaoxing doing? He hasn't been here for so long, is he causing trouble?"

Ever since she heard from Xiao Wan'er's heart that in the original plot, Chen Yaoxing was exiled to the border as a criminal for causing trouble, Mrs. Chen has always been uneasy.

Whenever he didn't see Chen Yaoxing for more than two days, he would feel very uneasy.

"No, Madam, don't let your imagination run wild. Yaoxing has been very well behaved recently. She didn't come the past two days because she was busy helping me with things. Qingyi called her to help yesterday."

"He and Mu'er have been helping Qingyi with her accounts all night, and now they're going back to sleep. Madam, please eat quickly, or the food will get cold."

I see.

Hearing this, Mrs. Shen's uneasy heart finally settled down.

As long as he doesn't run out and cause trouble.

The next day.

The three siblings got up early.

After Chen Mu washed up carefully, he went to the side room to see Su Huanyan.

Su Huanyan was originally sleeping soundly. After hearing the noise, she regained consciousness. She opened her eyes and saw that handsome face.

"Shi, Shizi?"

She was stunned for a moment, and then she regained consciousness.

"Well, I have to go out today and may be back very late. When it's time for dinner, Mo Yun will bring it to you. If you have anything, you can tell him directly."

Do you want to go out?

A thought suddenly flashed through Su Huanyan's mind. If she remembered the date correctly, today should be the Winter Banquet.

All unmarried noblemen and ladies in the capital will attend.

It is called a winter banquet, but in fact, it is just a disguised engagement party, except that there will be engaged young men and women joining in the fun.

Is he going too?

Su Huanyan suddenly felt a little depressed, but soon realized that he was not engaged at the moment, so there was nothing wrong with going to see him.

Their identities were completely different. He was the eldest son of Duke Shen and would inherit the title in the future, while she was just an insignificant concubine's daughter.
