Chapter 181 Banquet
Only five people remained in Changkang Garden.

Shen Quelin, Yue Xunzhu, and Elder Yue sat chatting on one side, while Shen Youqing and Xiao Ke went to eat.

After dinner, Shen Youqing and Xiao Ke walked over side by side.

Shen Quelin glanced at Xiao Ke and asked Shen Youqing with his eyes.

Shen Youqing nodded slightly.

"Isn't the change in the ancestor's attitude a bit too drastic?" Shen Quelin asked frankly.

Shen Youqing sat at the table, took the tea that Yue Xunzhu handed him, and took a sip. "You underestimated something."

"What?" Shen Quelin asked curiously.

Xiao Ke bent down and sat down next to Shen Youqing, his gaze following her the whole time.

Shen Youqing put down his teacup, a hint of coldness in his eyes and brows. "Feelings, or to be precise, love."

love?

Shen Quelin was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and said, "Mother?"

Shen Youqing nodded. "My mother and father fell in love when they were young and went through countless trials and tribulations together. In my father's heart, my mother is very important."

"Because Mother and Father severed ties, Father felt guilty, so he took that guilt out on us?" Shen Quelin was a smart man and understood immediately.

Shen Youqing nodded.

“If Father makes the final decision, the attitudes of the elders will have to change, whether they like it or not.” Shen Quelin nodded, finding it reasonable.

After all, the person in charge of the Shen family is the father, and he is not some puppet head of the family.

If the father's attitude is very assertive, the ancestors have no choice but to compromise.

Shen Youqing looked at Shen Quelin and said, "Father and the elders know what kind of temper I have. For the Shen family to last, they will spend more effort on you."

The Shen family's resources can only be allocated to Shen Quelin!

That's exactly what she wanted!
Shen Quelin didn't say anything, but simply picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.

How could he not know Shen Youqing's good intentions?

"Touched?" Shen Youqing's words immediately ruined the atmosphere. "I just hope you'll give me more spirit stones when you become the head of the family."

Shen Quelin, who was still feeling touched, suddenly lost his composure upon hearing this and rolled his eyes at him.

"The banquet the day after tomorrow..." Shen Quelin looked at Shen Youqing with some concern.

Of course, he wasn't worried about Shen Youqing's safety; he was worried that Shen Youqing might do something earth-shattering.

"We'll see," Shen Youqing said ambiguously.

Yue Xunzhu glanced at Elder Yue and saw that Elder Yue nodded slightly, so he knew his father's attitude.

Of course, in order to prevent Jinjin from being kicked out of the Shen family, Yue Xunzhu felt that he should not spoil the child for the time being.

Shen Quelin raised his voice in one breath.

"Come and do my hair when the time comes," Shen Youqing ordered confidently.

Shen Quelin nodded. "What kind? What color skirt are you going to wear the day after tomorrow?"

"Red." Shen Youqing flashed a bright smile, looking every bit the part of someone who was about to stir things up. "Bright red!"

"..." Shen Quelin looked to Yue Xunzhu for help.

Yue Xunzhu gave her cousin a helpless look.

Xiao Ke reached out and tugged at Shen Youqing's sleeve. After she looked over, he said, "Shall we go buy a dress tomorrow?"

"Okay." Shen Youqing nodded.

Thinking that Xiao Ke's entire fortune was in his possession, Shen Youqing couldn't help but feel that he should buy Xiao Ke a couple more sets of clothes.

Finally, the reliable Elder Yue spoke up to dissuade him, saying, "You Qing, it's not good for the guest to usurp the host's position."

Shen Youqing pouted, "What's wrong? I'm happy with my Golden Core, so what's wrong with wearing red?"

Oh well, as long as I'm happy.

Elder Yue glanced at the two young masters, giving them a helpless look. Shen Quelin had already given up hope.

The next day.

Shen Qiuluo took the lead and, after a round of persuasion, successfully took her five senior brothers out shopping.

With five handsome young Golden Core cultivators accompanying her, Shen Qiuluo attracted countless gazes along the way.

Envy, curiosity, and other such gazes greatly satisfied Shen Qiuluo's vanity.

Shen Youqing, on the other hand, got up at 7:00 AM to train his body. After finishing his training, he had breakfast with Xiao Ke before going out.

Zhongzhou City is very large, and it is difficult to encounter someone unless you specifically look for them.

Therefore, Xiao Ke and Shen Youqing spent the whole day wandering around Zhongzhou City without encountering Jiang Chenying and his group.

A day flies by quickly.

By the time Shen Youqing finished his body tempering, it was already 9 AM, with only one hour left before the banquet was to begin.

The lunar eclipse came from outside, carrying a tray with several dresses and sets of headdresses.

"Miss, this was sent by someone from the Shen family head," said Lunar Eclipse.

Shen Youqing glanced at the light-colored dress; it was indeed her style, but…

"I'm going to take a bath. The dress I'll wear later is in the room," Shen Youqing's melodious voice rang out. "I'm going to take a bath. I'll have Shen Quelin come in later."

Lunar Eclipse responded with a sound.

After Shen Youqing finished bathing and changed into her dress, Shen Quelin, dressed in a deep purple robe, arrived late.

The well-tailored, wide-sleeved crimson robe accentuated his straight, pine-like figure. His already fair skin appeared even more delicate and flawless against the crimson hue. His exquisite and beautiful features did not exude any femininity. He possessed an air of nobility and aloofness, and his gaze was deep and sharp.

Looking at the young man wearing a jade crown and a crimson robe, Shen Youqing's eyes revealed admiration.

Without saying a word, Shen Quelin pressed Shen Youqing down on the stool in front of the dressing table, dried her wet hair with his spiritual power, and began to style her hair.

The dark red, cross-collar long dress looked somewhat alluring, and the bold, vibrant colors were overshadowed by her cool and aloof demeanor, making Shen Youqing appear even more cold and unapproachable.

Her long, thick black hair was tied into a low bun, with a pair of golden tassel hairpins inserted diagonally into the bun, and a thin golden tassel headband hanging down on her fair and full forehead.

In her past life, Shen Youqing always wore a white dress, looking like a goddess.

But now, Shen Youqing, dressed in a black and red dress, is like a bewitching woman in the form of a poppy. Even though people know she is extremely dangerous, they still can't help but get close to her.

“Indeed, a low bun really suits you.” Shen Quelin put down the comb, looked at the cold yet alluring Shen Youqing, and suggested, “A little makeup might make you look even better.”

Shen Youqing admired herself in the mirror for a moment, and finally only applied a little lip rouge.

Looking at Shen Youqing's flawless face, Shen Quelin felt that she really only needed to apply a little lip rouge to improve her complexion.

"Let's go," Shen Quelin said.

Shen Youqing straightened her trailing skirt and followed Shen Quelin gracefully to the front yard.

When the brother and sister arrived, the area around the main hall in the front yard was packed with people.

Shen Quelin led Shen Youqing straight into the front hall.

Zhang Xunyu and several companions were talking in the corridor outside the main hall when they suddenly saw Shen Youqing, dressed in a black and red dress, walking slowly towards the main hall side by side with a handsome young man.

Seeing the two people surrounding her, Zhang Xunyu's eyes widened slightly.

In the main hall.

When Shen Youqing appeared, Shen Lin almost lost his composure.

That unfilial son!!!

With her appearance, who would have known that this banquet was for Miss Shen the Third!
"Father." Shen Youqing raised her hand in a salute, her clear and melodious voice carrying a hint of coldness.

Shen Lin kept a straight face and waited for Shen Quelin to greet them before speaking to the two siblings, "No need for formalities, these are all family heads and young masters."

The two siblings turned around and greeted the family heads with graceful and poised manners.

Looking at the relatively composed Shen Youqing, Shen Lin could only try to console himself with a bittersweet smile.

Qingqing used her beauty to commit murder!
The National Day holiday should be over by now.
