Chapter 53 Unexpectedly, Shen Pingjin felt nothing at all.
Ye Ting was still pondering why he was experiencing this strange feeling when Nian An's words interrupted his thoughts.
Ye Ting raised his head and replied, "Agreed, agreed. Master is inside discussing matters with Miss Wen. You should go in later."
Nian An and Nian Ning both frowned at the same time, "Miss Wen?"
Ye Ting didn't notice anything amiss in their conversation. He nodded and said, "Yes, is it strange that Miss Wen is discussing matters with her master inside?"
In Ye Ting's memory, Miss Wen was a gentle and graceful young lady. She was intelligent and witty, always had unique insights into things, and was very polite and respectful to them, her servants.
She was still good friends with her master, so Ye Ting felt that it was not strange for her master to be with Miss Wen, and in his opinion, it was quite normal.
To be honest, Ye Ting didn't like Shen Pingjin at first, because he heard that Shen Pingjin had mistakenly married his master and was infatuated with the gentle and dignified crown prince.
However, he also knew how much his master cared for this eldest daughter of the Shen family. In fact, after learning that she was going to marry the Crown Prince, he went to a restaurant alone and drank all night.
But now that he sees that this Miss Shen hasn't done anything too outrageous to her master, his opinion of her has changed slightly.
Nian An and Nian Ning, however, had completely different ideas from Ye Ting.
Having been raised in seclusion with their young mistresses, they had naturally attended many banquets and met Miss Wen. Although they had never met her, they knew that she was very beautiful and, like her mistress, exceptionally talented.
They originally admired Miss Wen, because their own young lady was in love with the Crown Prince, and Miss Wen and the Crown Prince had no scandals, so they naturally felt there was nothing wrong with it.
But things are different now. Now, Miss Wen is the Regent's Consort. They know all too well how many rumors have circulated about Miss Wen and the Prince. And now, the two of them are in the same room. How can they not overthink it?
In addition, the Regent was rumored to be a philandering prince in the capital, and they were a little afraid that if the rumors came true, their young lady would only have been in the Regent's mansion for a few days before another happy event would occur there.
The three people had different expressions, but they were all complex and strangely intertwined.
It was only the arrival of Shen Pingjin that broke the deathly silence.
As soon as Shen Pingjin led Young Master Qin into the mansion, they saw three people standing motionless and with strange expressions outside the study from afar.
She quickened her pace, stepped forward, and asked, "What are you three doing standing here motionless? Has something happened in the manor?"
Nian'an was the first to come to her senses. She looked at her young mistress, who was filled with confusion, and felt very resentful.
Miss knows nothing, she's been kept in the dark about everything, Miss is so pitiful!
Seeing that the others were still silent, Shen Pingjin stared at Nian An and Nian Ning, whose expressions had changed, and asked them carefully, "Didn't I instruct you two to go back to the manor and move the silver from the storeroom when we were at Fei Hong Residence? Why are you standing at the study door now, not saying a word?"
Ye Ting came to his senses at this moment. He glanced at Shen Pingjin somewhat guiltily, but the necessary politeness and respect were still essential.
"Your Highness, nothing has happened in the manor. Are you here to see the master?"
Shen Pingjin was taken aback for a moment, then denied it, "No, I came to the warehouse to get money."
Shen Pingjin glanced at the two who were standing still and instantly understood what was going on. She frowned and said, "You two have wasted so much time and still haven't taken any action. Do you want to ask Yan Jue for the key to the storeroom?"
Nian'an and Nian Ning, who were both feeling a little sorry for their young lady, nodded silently without saying a word.
Ye Ting then realized what was going on. He bowed and said, “So that’s why you’re looking for the prince. I’ve been keeping the key to this storeroom. If you need money, just come to me. But before you use it, you must tell me what you want to do with the money.”
Shen Pingjin felt there was nothing to hide, and she said, "Recently, didn't I borrow five thousand taels of silver from Yan Jue? I want to take out half of it first to buy a restaurant."
Ye Ting knew about this because he was present when the money was borrowed, and he was even kicked out by his master for laughing at him!
"Your Highness, I understand. I will open the storeroom for you so you can withdraw the money."
Ye Ting knew that once his master agreed to lend the money to the princess, it belonged to her. Since the princess wanted to take out her own money, he had no right to interfere.
He should just focus on managing his own responsibilities.
Shen Pingjin nodded, intending to follow Ye Ting to the storeroom, but then she remembered that this was the study, and Ye Ting was guarding it. Besides, she knew from what Ye Ting had just said that Yan Jue was inside.
She didn't want to say anything more, but when she thought about how Nian An and Nian Ning had been outside the study for so long, she decided to ask what was going on.
"Night Court".
Chen Pingjin called out to Ye Ting.
Ye Ting was about to go to the storeroom when Shen Pingjin called him, and he was taken aback.
He turned around and asked, "Your Highness, has something happened?"
Shen Pingjin frowned slightly, her eyes filled with confusion. Looking at the tightly closed study, she asked, "What is Yan Jue doing in the study?"
Ye Ting answered respectfully, completely unaware that Nian An and Nian Ning were glaring at him. "Your Highness, Miss Wen came to the Regent's Palace today, saying she has important matters to discuss with you. The two of them are currently inside discussing things."
Miss Wen?
Upon hearing this, Shen Pingjin frowned slightly. Why did she feel like she had heard those four words somewhere before?
Yes, Shen Pingjin remembered. It was the gossip-loving shopkeeper at the Imperial Clothing Shop who mentioned it.
But... what Shen Pingjin didn't expect was that the young master Qin beside her was exactly the... gossipy shopkeeper she had mentioned.
Li Qin'er had been waiting calmly to listen to their conversation, but when she heard Yan Jue's subordinate telling Shen Pingjin that the Wen family's young lady had worked with Yan Jue in the study, she was utterly stunned.
Good heavens, a man and a woman alone in a room, and the man's newlywed wife is right outside, listening to his subordinate reporting to her.
Li Qin'er was a gossip lover, and upon hearing this, she couldn't help but applaud.
A love triangle was right in front of her!
