Chapter 274 Unable to refute
When Old Madam Shen and Mrs. Hao saw that Shen Jingxuan dodged it easily, they slowly sat back down and slowly let go of their worries.
Mr. Shen said, "Tell me, where did the things in the warehouse come from?"
Old Madam Shen was so worried about Shen Jingxuan's dowry that she didn't sleep a wink the whole night.
Early this morning, when it was just light, she took Mr. Shen to the warehouse to check.
The moment the warehouse door opened, the two were shocked.
Even when the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion was at its most prosperous, there had never been so many things in the mansion's storehouse.
The two of them were stunned for a long time, and it was not until Hao went to the warehouse that they came to their senses.
They questioned Hao but to no avail, so they had to send someone to find the accountant and call Shen Jingxuan over.
Shen Jingxuan sat on the chair and said calmly: "Grandfather, I put it in."
"Where did you get so many things?"
The things in the warehouse nowadays, let alone the current Duke Zhenguo Mansion, even if it is a prestigious mansion, I am afraid it will take several lifetimes to use up all the things.
Old Master Shen couldn't understand what Shen Jingxuan had done to suddenly get so many valuable things that filled up the entire warehouse in an instant.
Shen Jingxuan said: "Grandfather, those are not important. What's important is that the mansion needs those things, right?"
"Whether it's the future life of the mansion or paving the way for Lin'er, those are particularly important."
Mr. Shen pursed his lips slightly, but he could not refute Shen Jingxuan's words.
If the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion wants to revive and bring honor to the family, everything needs to be managed and everything needs money.
Shen Xinglin is currently studying at a college, and the annual fees are not affordable for ordinary people.
Later, when Shen Xinglin became an adult, whether he was an official or got married, he needed money for everything.
It must be said that Shen Jingxuan dispelled Mr. Shen's idea of asking further questions with just a few words.
He knew that Shen Jingxuan was different from other women, and he also knew that she had some abilities.
But now that he actually saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Seeing what Mr. Shen was thinking, Shen Jingxuan continued, "Grandfather, you just need to know that those things were obtained in an upright manner."
"Okay." Mr. Shen responded.
Seeing that Mr. Shen stopped asking questions, Shen Jingxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But just as she said, the things in the warehouse of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion all came from normal sources.
Those abnormal ones are still in her space, and some of them were given to Xie Lingxiao.
Madam Shen said, "Xuan'er, can I give you all those items and silver as your dowry?"
They were originally put into the warehouse by Shen Jingxuan, so it was normal that all of them were used as her dowry now.
"Grandma, there's no need to do that. Just prepare the dowry as normal."
Those were originally what she left for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. If she were allowed to take them all away, wouldn't all her efforts be wasted?
"Okay." Mrs. Shen responded.
Ling Huan came to the study: "Miss, Miss Chen is here."
Shen Jingxuan looked at her with appreciation: "Grandfather, grandmother, mother, I'll go take a look."
She really didn't want to sit here and look at their faces.
The apologetic looks on Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen's faces made Shen Jingxuan feel a little uncomfortable.
She knew that the two elders felt sorry for her, felt sorry for her having to support the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion alone, and felt sorry for her that even after getting married, she would still have to worry about their future.
But Shen Jingxuan didn't think there was anything wrong with this. They were a family, weren't they? These were what she should do.
When Shen Xinglin grows up and can support himself, she won't have to worry about him anymore.
In front of the gate of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Chen Yi saw Shen Jingxuan's eyes light up slightly.
"Ah Xuan, you finally came out."
Shen Jingxuan asked: "Why don't you go to the mansion?"
She thought Chen Yi went to Yuxuan Courtyard, but Ling Huan told her that Chen Yi was unwilling to enter the mansion.
Chen Yi pulled her along and left: "We'll have to come out again after we go in, why not just wait for you here."
"Let's go to the street and choose a birthday present for Ying'er."
Every year on Jiang Shaoying’s birthday, she would prepare a gift, but after so many years, she no longer knew what to give.
Now that I have Shen Jingxuan, I can bring her along to help me come up with some ideas.
Shen Jingxuan frowned slightly: "Why didn't she tell me about her birthday?"
Chen Yi and Jiang Shaoying have known each other for a long time, and she would remember it even if Jiang Shaoying didn't say it.
Shen Jingxuan is different.
I was quite familiar with Jiang Shaoying in the past, but we had not yet reached the point where we told each other our birthdays.
Now that Marquis Zhongyong has adopted her as his daughter, Jiang Shaoying can be considered her sister, so she has to prepare a gift no matter what.
Thinking of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but hold her forehead secretly.
For some reason, she suddenly didn't want to go to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
"You don't know? Didn't you give her a gift last year?" Chen Yi asked in surprise.
Shen Jingxuan was puzzled: "When did I send it?"
Ever since they met, apart from the coming-of-age gift given by Jiang Shaoying on her coming-of-age day, the two cats have been in their lives.
But she never gave Jiang Shaoying any formal gift.
"Didn't you give her a hairpin?"
She remembered that day, Jiang Shaoying held the hairpin tightly and refused to let go, even when she wanted to take a look at it.
Hairpin? Could that be her birthday?
Although Shen Jingxuan couldn't remember the date, she was deeply impressed by the incident.
Just because Jiang Shaoying dragged her to the street that day, she did not miss any shop.
The two of them strolled from early morning until afternoon.
When the two of them arrived at the jewelry shop, Jiang Shaoying fell in love with the hairpin at first sight, and looked at Shen Jingxuan with anticipation.
She really couldn't stand Jiang Shaoying's gaze, so she had to pay the silver and give the hairpin to her.
"Yeah." Shen Jingxuan responded indifferently.
She didn't expect that that day was Jiang Shaoying's birthday. If she had told her earlier, why would she have only given her a hairpin?
What I didn't expect was that Jiang Shaoying would care so much about that hairpin.
In the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, Jiang Shaoying sat in the room with a frown on his face, because he could not find a good reason to look for Shen Jingxuan this time.
I don't even know how to get her to give me a gift like she did last year.
Just as she was thinking hard but to no avail, the maid came into the room and said, "Miss, Miss Shen and Miss Chen are here."
Jiang Shaoying stood up suddenly: "Where are they?"
"It's coming this way."
As soon as the maid finished speaking, Jiang Shaoying ran out of the room.
That’s great, Axuan actually came in person, and she finally doesn’t have to think of a solution anymore.
Shen Jingxuan looked at the person in front of her with curved eyebrows and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.
"Ying'er, if you look like this, someone who doesn't know you would think you are in a hurry to see your sweetheart."
Jiang Shaoying wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Where did my sweetheart come from? It's not to welcome you."
In order to get Shen Jingxuan's birthday present, she of course had to stop them quickly.
Otherwise, after they went to their own yard, she would have to find a way to take them away.
Thinking of this, she continued, "How about we go to the streets today?"
She looked at Shen Jingxuan and Chen Yi with anticipation.
