Chapter 119 Self-reporting
Shen Jingxuan turned around and looked at the people next to her: "Grandfather, our Lin'er will go to Shengshi Academy. Xie Lingxiao has already made arrangements."
Her words were like thunder, shocking several people so much that they didn't know what to do. The only thing left in their minds were Shen Jingxuan's words.
Send Shen Xinglin to the academy, the money is ready, and the academy is Shengshi Academy...
Shen Jingxuan coughed lightly a few times, and everyone came back to their senses. They looked at Shen Jingxuan in surprise, not knowing what to say.
Mr. Shen suddenly thought of Shen Jingxuan's words and asked suspiciously, "You said that the Regent has arranged the academy for Lin'er?"
He knew that his granddaughter had been in contact with the Regent, but he had no idea that the Regent could help her with such an important matter.
"Yeah," Shen Jingxuan responded lightly.
Mrs. Hao hesitated and said, "Xuan'er, the money required for ordinary academies is not affordable for us. Where can you get the money to support Lin'er to go to Shengshi Academy?"
Her words were exactly what Mr. Shen and Madam Shen wanted to ask. The three of them stared at Shen Jingxuan intently, only Shen Xinglin lowered his head and said nothing.
Shen Jingxuan knew it would be hard to fool people today, so she had to answer truthfully: "My mother's dowry shop is run very well by Qiuyou and the others, and I also have half of the share in Qianyu Chamber of Commerce."
Several people were shocked by Shen Jingxuan again and opened their mouths, several pairs of eyes staring at her.
They knew that Shen Jingxuan was rarely at home and they could not find her every day, but they did not expect that she had done so many things.
Shen Jingxuan felt helpless. She didn't want to tell them about these things, lest they think too much and worry about her.
But things don't always go as planned, and they eventually found out. I just hope they won't stop me after knowing that.
Seeing that they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, Shen Jingxuan teased: "It's useless to look at me, and it's not okay to drool. The silver is for Lin'er, don't even think about it."
"Silly girl, who is thinking about your money?" Old Master Shen glared at Shen Jingxuan.
He just didn't expect that his granddaughter had such ability and did things that others could never do in their entire lives.
It seemed that he was right to let Lin'er inherit the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. With the two of them around, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion would only get better and better in the future.
Shen Xinglin wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mr. Shen: "You guys go back first, I want to talk to Xuan'er."
After Madam Shen took Mrs. Hao and Shen Xinglin away, Mr. Shen's face gradually became ugly.
He frowned and asked, "Xuan'er, have you noticed anything unusual about Shen Jiande?"
"The person behind him should be related to the Queen. I saw him evasive his gaze just now. He must be hiding something." Shen Jingxuan expressed her thoughts.
She knew that her grandfather had always wanted to find out the cause of her father's death, but so many years had passed and he could only investigate slowly.
What's more, now that it's involved with the Queen, it's not something they can figure out in a short time.
Shen Jingxuan saw that her grandfather seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, so she comforted him, "Grandfather, don't worry, we will slowly investigate and we will eventually know the result."
"You go back first." Mr. Shen said in a low voice.
Shen Jingxuan didn't know how to comfort him. Her father's death had become a knot in her grandfather's heart. Even if she said a few words of comfort, it would not have any effect.
The only way is to find out who is behind this and avenge my father. Maybe then, my grandfather's knot in his heart will be untied.
She turned around helplessly and returned to her own courtyard, but she didn't expect that the nanny she brought back earlier was sitting in the courtyard waiting for her.
"Young lady," the nanny's voice was a little hoarse, and it seemed that she had not spoken for a long time.
Shen Jingxuan brought her to her room and poured her a glass of water herself: "Mammy, have some tea."
She could see that the nanny must have something to say to her, but she seemed to be having trouble speaking, so she didn't get anxious and just waited quietly for her to speak.
"Miss, can you let me see your hairpin?" The nanny asked with some embarrassment, but looked at her expectantly.
Shen Jingxuan raised her hand and touched the hairpin on her head. It was a coming-of-age gift given to her by Xie Lingxiao. It was her favorite style and she wore it almost every day.
She handed the hairpin to Mammy: "Is this hairpin different?"
Shen Jingxuan still remembered the night when Xie Lingxiao gave her the hairpin. She didn't know whether it was because he was reluctant to part with it or because he thought it was precious, but her expression when he held the hairpin tightly was unclear.
Every time she thought about it, she would pay more attention to the hairpin, fearing that she would accidentally damage it.
The nanny held the hairpin in her hand, but tears kept flowing down, which made Shen Jingxuan feel very confused.
"Mammy? Why are you crying after seeing this hairpin?" Shen Jingxuan asked.
Mammy raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "It's just that seeing the thing reminds me of the person. I wonder where this hairpin came from, young lady?"
Shen Jingxuan looked at the nanny in confusion. It turned out that she spoke very fluently, but she just didn't want to speak.
"It was given to me by a friend." Shen Jingxuan stared at the nanny and answered.
She did not find out the nanny's background, and there were some things she could not tell her. After all, how could she trust someone whose identity was a mystery?
Chuntao also sent people to keep an eye on her these days, but they were just watching her. She almost never left the house, so they found nothing.
When the nanny heard Shen Jingxuan's answer, she knew that she didn't want to say more to her. She looked at Shen Jingxuan deeply and turned away.
Shen Jingxuan's mind was a little confused. She looked at the nanny and it was obvious that this hairpin had a connection with someone she knew.
But the nanny refused to mention anyone or anything, which made Shen Jingxuan unable to understand what the nanny was thinking for a moment.
The sound of knocking on the window was heard. Shen Jingxuan shook her head helplessly. It seemed that this stinky man could not change his habit.
She opened the window, leaned against it and looked out: "Stinky man, I'm afraid you can't change this habit, right?"
"Yeah," Xie Lingxiao responded, and swiftly turned over and entered the house.
Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. Not only could he not change it, but just looking at his neat movements, it was clear that he couldn't have mastered it overnight.
"Is there something?" Shen Jingxuan turned around and sat on the chair and asked.
Xie Lingxiao frowned and replied: "Why can't you come for nothing?"
"..."
Look, how tough he is speaking. He comes to a girl's boudoir in the middle of the night and seems to be quite reasonable.
That's right, or you can't owe anyone a favor, right? I don't even have the confidence to speak in front of him.
"Yes, it's not enough to be waiting for you at any time. As long as the girls in your house don't mind, I won't mind either." Shen Jingxuan said with her head down.
Xie Lingxiao looked at Shen Jingxuan. Before he could open his mouth to say what he wanted to say, he saw Shen Jingxuan looking at him with a smile in her eyes.
"You're fine, but I am busy." Shen Jingxuan grinned.
Her smile was like that of a wolf grandmother seeing a little goat, which made Xie Lingxiao shudder.
