The daughter of the Marquis is too delicate, the abstinent prince pinches her waist and loves her

Chapter 31: The Madam of the Marquisate

As she was speaking, Bai hurried over, holding up her skirt.

Sheng Yukun was so furious, but he didn't dare to lose his temper because Sheng Yi was there. He gritted his teeth in anger.

He put Sheng Yi down and had the servant take her away. After they walked away, he slammed the table fiercely in anger and said, "If Yi'er hadn't stopped me, I really wanted to divorce that woman!"

Sheng Yunqing exhaled lightly and said, "Uncle, there must be some reasons why my aunt values Bai Jinxiu so much."

Sheng Yukun frowned. He couldn't help but become suspicious, considering her recent abnormal behaviors. He asked, "What's her reason?"

Sheng Yunqing raised his beautiful eyebrows and said, "This is a serious matter. Yunqing will find out the truth and tell uncle everything. However, before that, I hope uncle will not alert the enemy."

Hearing this, Sheng Yukun concentrated. The person accompanying him by his side actually had a secret?
After a long while, he nodded gently and said, "Uncle believes you."

After a moment, he waved his hand, and the old butler came over with a thick notebook.

"Miss, this is the mansion's account book for this year. The accounts of previous years will also be sent to your room later."

Sheng Yunqing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Account book? What do you mean, uncle?"

Sheng Yukun said to Sheng Yunqing seriously: "Qing'er, your uncle has thought it through. You will be in charge of all matters at home. All the expenses in the mansion will be handled by you. Your uncle wants you to be the mistress of the Sheng family."

Sheng Yunqing raised his eyes with a hint of surprise. Although the Marquis' Mansion is now his uncle's family, Sheng Yukun owes Sheng Yuting and has always been very caring towards Sheng Yunqing.

But she never expected that Sheng Yukun really didn't treat her as an outsider.

"Originally, this was your aunt's right, but now she has failed the trust of the Marquisate. Qiuyao is timid and Yueying is young. I will leave this matter to you. Your uncle is most at ease."

Hearing this, Sheng Yunqing smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Uncle, don't worry, Yunqing will definitely do it well."

After a while, Sheng Yunqing returned to the house with the account book, sat at the desk and flipped through it gently.

Su Lan smiled happily and said, "Sister Fairy, the Marquis is really good to you. He even gave you the power of the mistress."

Sheng Yunqing raised the corner of his lips and said, "Yes, if this happens, the Bai family will probably be furious."

"Hmph, she deserves it! Let her stay with that fake guy for the rest of her life!" Su Lan said indignantly.

Chunrui walked in from outside and said, "Miss, Prince Ye is here and is waiting outside."

When Sheng Yunqing heard him, he frowned slightly, waved his hand, and said, "No, no, no!"

Su Lan raised her eyebrows in confusion and asked, "Did Prince Ye make Fairy Sister angry again?"

Sheng Yunqing snorted and said, "The Queen Mother almost made me lose face today. I don't want to see him easily. Chunrui, tell him that I'm sick and can't see guests."

"Yes." Chunrui nodded and ran out quickly.

"If you don't want to see her, then you can see her. Our fairy sister is not someone you can easily bully!" Su Lan defended her with clenched fists.

Without waiting for a word, Ye Jinchen rushed in: "Who wants to bully you?!"

Sheng Yunqing frowned and asked, "Are you polite?"

Chun Rui, who followed closely behind, lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "Miss, I didn't stop you."

After he finished speaking, Ye Jinchen turned around and glared at her, scaring her so much that she stopped talking.

He walked straight to Sheng Yunqing, raised his hand to touch her forehead, touched her face, and took up her hands to look at them, and said, "Where are you sick? If you are sick, you won't see me?"

"Get lost." Sheng Yunqing broke away from him and said, "Don't use the excuse of visiting a patient to do something to me."

Ye Jinchen's face darkened, and he said, "This prince acts openly and honestly. If he wants to do something, he won't use the excuse of visiting a patient." Sheng Yunqing was choked. He was overbearing and he was right? She winked at Su Lan and asked her to leave with the maid.

She sighed softly, turned her face away unhappily, and said, "I'm not sick, okay?"

Ye Jinchen took out an object from his sleeve, lifted her wrist and placed it in her palm.

Sheng Yunqing picked it up and took a closer look. It was an exquisite glass headband, which was crystal clear under the sunlight.

Why is Ye Jinchen so careless when giving gifts? Hasn’t he ever given gifts to girls?

At least put it in an exquisite box!
Well, she likes this headband.

She raised the corners of her lips slightly and said, "I've accepted the gift. Please take your time."

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand at him unceremoniously.

Ye Jinchen grabbed her hand, put his arm around her waist, and pressed it against her forehead. He said in a low and hoarse voice, frowning, "Did the Queen Mother make things difficult for you?"

Sheng Yunqing bit her lip, her delicate peach blossom eyes showing grievance, and said: "Yes, the Queen Mother doesn't like me. She didn't like me the first time she saw me!"

Ye Jinchen rubbed her palm and said, "The Queen Mother has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She always speaks harshly. Don't take it to heart."

Sheng Yunqing pouted and hummed, her cheeks reddened by his intimate behavior, and she bit her lips lightly.

Ye Jinchen stared into her eyes and said seriously: "Even if she doesn't like it, I will marry you."

Sheng Yunqing hid the smile in his eyes and said stubbornly: "Who wants to marry you?"

Ye Jinchen took the headband from her hand, put it on her forehead himself, and said, "I have booked Chun Man Lou at noon tomorrow, and the carriage will pick you up."

Sheng Yunqing raised the corner of his lips and said, "It depends on my mood. If I'm in a good mood, I'll do you the honor of coming over."

Ye Jinchen lifted her chin, kissed her gently, and said, "If you don't go, I will tie you up and take you over."

"you!"

Ye Jinchen raised his hand to her lips and said, "These are all your favorites."

"Do you know what I like to eat?"

"I said it when I was a kid, and I still remember it."

At night, under the flickering candlelight, Sheng Yunqing flipped through the account book. His fingers, as scallion-like as spring onions, slowly slid down along the words, stopping at one place. He raised his hand to touch his chin, frowning intently.

Seeing her appearance, Su Lan raised her eyebrows in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

Sheng Yunqing looked at Bai Jinxiu's recent expenses and said, "I've seen the medicine Bai Jinxiu gave Yi'er. Although the herbs she bought are expensive, the ingredients in the pills are more than that. Those herbs are not available in the mansion. She didn't use the money from the mansion to buy them. Where did the medicine come from?"

Su Lan scratched her head and said, "Yes, she has no power or influence, who can she rely on?"

Sheng Yunqing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "There must be something fishy about this matter. You can secretly investigate what happened to Yi'er's leg."

Su Lan nodded and said, "I will definitely check it out for Fairy Sister."

Sheng Yunqing seemed to have thought of something, raised his hand and said, "Go check on that Zhi Xing as well."

"Yes."
