Chapter 54 His attitude towards this Miss Shen was unusual.
Shen Pingjin had no idea what kind of turmoil was brewing inside the heart of the gentle and refined young master Qin, whom she had always thought was gentle and refined.
She knew how many scandals this Miss Wen had been linked to Yan Jue.
Chen Pingjin couldn't help but frown.
When Li Qin'er saw Shen Pingjin's appearance, she was a little excited. Was Shen Pingjin about to get angry and immediately push open the door, yell at the man and woman inside, and burst into tears?
Li Qin'er's mind was filled with eight hundred melodramatic scenarios.
Nian An and Nian Ning, who were standing nearby, also noticed Shen Pingjin's furrowed brows. They wanted to comfort their young lady and say, "It's alright."
Ye Ting thought differently from these three people; in his eyes, this was a perfectly normal thing.
Under the intense gazes of several people, Shen Pingjin felt a little strange. She glanced at Ye Ting calmly and said indifferently, "He is discussing matters with others? Then I won't go in and disturb them. Ye Ting, you lead the way."
The three people who imagined endless scenarios in their minds: ...
They seemed to freeze in place.
Ye Ting received the order and got up to walk towards the storeroom.
Shen Pingjin was about to follow, but when she noticed that the other three were frozen in place, she was somewhat puzzled.
"You three, why aren't you moving? Hurry up and follow me!"
Suppressing their shock, the three slowly followed.
Ordinary people are not allowed to enter the Regent's Palace storeroom, so Ye Ting had Nian An and the other two stand outside, while letting Shen Pingjin come in alone.
Shen Pingjin was of course aware of this rule. She looked at Nian An, Nian Ning and the others and instructed them, "You all wait outside. Ye Ting will call people to take inventory later. You can just help out as you like."
Nian An and Nian Ning hurriedly replied, "Your Highness, this servant obeys."
Chen Pingjin immediately followed Ye Ting inside.
Shen Pingjin originally thought that Yan Jue was rich, but not that rich. However, when she actually entered the warehouse one day, she was deeply shocked.
The large room was basically filled with boxes, and even these boxes were made of high-quality and expensive materials. Ye Ting walked forward and opened a few boxes, and the somewhat dim room was instantly illuminated.
The gold and silver jewelry inside shone with an almost blinding brilliance.
Ye Ting took out the several boxes he remembered. He didn't notice Shen Pingjin's strange gaze. "Your Highness, these boxes contain the five thousand taels of silver that the master prepared for you. However, I just heard Your Highness say that only two thousand five hundred taels are needed. So... would Your Highness take the remaining silver or leave it here?"
Shen Pingjin stared in disbelief at the boxes in front of her. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "Let's leave the rest of the silver here. However, I'd like to ask, if Yan Jue leaves all the money here, won't it be stolen or discovered?"
Ye Tingzun and Chen Pingjin were the mistress of the Regent's Palace, and they felt there was nothing to hide.
He explained, “Your Highness, only the master’s confidants know about this storeroom. As for the mistress, you are already married to the master, so we who work for him will naturally not hide anything from her.”
Chen Pingjin was taken aback.
So the reason Ye Ting brought her in so easily was because she was the mistress of this Regent's Palace.
If she weren't a reborn person, she would probably be surprised as to why the regent trusted her so much.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved. Shen Pingjin looked at Ye Ting and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your trust. Even if I have a falling out with your master in the future, I will never let this matter out of the public."
Ye Ting was taken aback. A divorce?
He felt conflicted. Why would this Miss Shen even consider divorce?
His impression of Shen Pingjin instantly worsened, and even his tone became colder.
"Your Highness, since that's the case, would you like me to find a few people to move these boxes out for you?"
These words struck a chord with Shen Pingjin, who was naturally delighted. "Alright, then I'll wait for you outside the door."
After receiving the order, Ye Ting put down the box and disappeared from the spot.
It took less than fifteen minutes in total. Seeing that Shen Pingjin came out so quickly, Nian'an asked curiously, "Your Highness, where is Ye Ting?"
Chen Pingjin replied, "He went to call people to move the boxes."
Nian An looked as if she had just realized something. She glanced at Nian Ning and Li Qin'er beside her and asked in a puzzled tone, "Miss, since Ye Ting and the others are moving boxes, what are we supposed to do?"
Shen Pingjin had already made up her mind. "You two stay here and wait. I'll go find a place with Young Master Qin to discuss the matter of the Glass Pavilion."
“But…” Nian’an wanted to say something more.
Nian Ning interrupted her, "Nian An, let's listen to Miss and wait here."
Nian'an could only say, "Alright..."
Shen Pingjin looked at Li Qin'er beside the two maids and said, "Young Master Qin, come with me out of the manor."
Li Qin'er was still lost in thought when she heard Shen Pingjin call her. She immediately came back to her senses and said, "Alright, but... Your Highness, I would like to ask you a question later."
Li Qin'er could hardly contain her burning curiosity.
Chen Pingjin frowned slightly. "What's the problem?"
Li Qin'er winked at him with a serious expression, "Your Highness, let's go first."
Upon hearing this, Shen Pingjin's brows furrowed even more deeply.
As Shen Pingjin and Young Master Qin left the storeroom and headed out of the mansion, they inevitably passed by the study.
Meanwhile, Yan Jue, who was discussing the recent official salt matter with Miss Wen, had already heard their voices when Ye Ting was guarding outside the door.
He was slightly stunned. Just as Wen Xicha, who was sitting opposite him, was talking about an important part of the official salt issue and needed Yan Jue to give his opinion, she opened her eyes and focused her gaze on Yan Jue.
Seeing that Yan Jue remained silent and stared blankly out the window, she was initially puzzled, but when she saw that graceful figure, she suddenly realized what was going on.
Her tone was also teasing, "Brother Yan, is that your newlywed Miss Shen walking past the door?"
Yan Jue's attention was focused on the view outside the window. When he saw Shen Pingjin walk over, it seemed that there was a man beside her...?
Before he could think it through, he heard Wen Xicha, who was smiling radiantly, ask him a question.
He said calmly, "That is indeed my queen."
Wen Xicha was initially a little uncertain, but when she saw the aloof man in front of her, calmly confirming her question, her heart was already filled with turbulent waves.
She had known Yan Jue for a long time, and she could basically tell what kind of person Yan Jue was and what kind of attitude he had through some subtle actions.
It was obvious that Yan Jue had a special attitude towards this Miss Shen.
