Nangong Xiyu pestered Shen Wanwan to take him to the night market, but Shen Wanwan refused. "Little Xiyu, be good. It's getting late. Go back with your family first. We'll make an appointment next time."

"Really? Will my sister really ask me out shopping? I want to buy candied haws, pot cakes, little sugar figurines, and lamb skewers..."

Shen Wanwan was somewhat helpless. "Okay, whatever you say. As long as you go back now, I will definitely find a time to take you out to play."

"Then let's make a pinky promise. Sister, you're not allowed to lie to children."

Shen Wanwan looked at the other person's bright eyes and was stunned for a moment. Did I dig a hole for myself again?

Seeing her hesitation, Nangong Xiyu stretched out her little hand and pulled her hand out. "Make a pinky promise and don't change it for a hundred years. If you change it, you will be a young lady who can't get married."

Shen Wanwan: “???”

Is she destined to be an unmarried girl?

Shen Wanwan watched Nangong Xiyu walk away until the people from Prince Pingnan's Mansion were completely lost in the pedestrians and the night. She finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Ruoyun, let's go too, back to the mansion."

After she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the Xie Mansion's carriage.

Shen Wanwan didn't know that just as she turned to leave, a group of men in black were quickly approaching Nangong Xiyu in the dark.

As people came and went, the distance between Nangong Xiyu and his entourage gradually widened, and finally they were separated quietly. Later, Nangong Xiyu's small figure disappeared in the crowd on the street.

Shen Wanwan was completely unaware of this and went straight back to Xie's house in a carriage.

When she heard from the servants that Xie Leqing was still checking the account books with the accountant, she was so scared that she quickly told the servants not to tell anyone that she had returned.

His steps were very fast, and soon he returned to his yard. He simply washed up, closed the door and went to sleep.

In the past five days, she was caught by Xie Leqing to reconcile accounts with the accountant. Those five days were hard to describe.

The more she hated the account books, the more she regretted it. Moving seven years' worth of account books from several shops back to the Xie Mansion was truly the most unwise thing she had done recently.

When Shen Wanwan had taken the time to hide in the space before, she had complained to Pei Wanwan. Faced with her face full of despair, Pei Wanwan could only express deep sympathy.

In the past, when she was at the farm, she was not the first time her mother caught her and asked her to look at the account books. However, she really couldn't understand them. She got a headache after looking at them for too long. In order to save her life, she took every opportunity to urinate and defecate.

She would always sneak out early in the morning and sneak back at night. Her mother couldn't catch her, so she ignored her over time. Otherwise, how could she have lived peacefully until now?

Now that Shen Wanwan took the initiative to bring the account book back to the Xie Mansion, her mother probably thought that she had changed her personality. Who else could she catch if not her to look at the account book together?

The next morning, Shen Wanwan was still in a dream when Xie Leqing came to her bedside.

"Wanwan, it's time to get up. Yesterday you said you were going to see Wanwan, so I gave you a day off. Don't tell me you have a stomachache and need to go to the toilet again today."

Shen Wanwan: “???”

You will not live if you do your own thing!

Just as the mother and daughter were about to have their meal, a servant came in and said that Prince Pingnan had arrived and wanted to see the eldest daughter.

Xie Leqing was slightly startled. "Did Prince Pingnan tell me why he wanted to meet the young lady?"

"No, but he looked unhappy. The butler has already ushered him into the main hall."

Shen Wanwan was suspicious. Could it be that little brat Nangong Xiyu was talking nonsense?

That little kid speaks without thinking. He is either asking for a Crown Prince’s Consort for himself or a Princess for his father. The fact that Prince Pingnan came here so early means that this matter is not simple!

"Don't worry, mother. Just go and see why the Prince of Pingnan wants to see me."

The mother and daughter went to the main hall together and bowed to King Pingnan.

Prince Pingnan first glanced at Xie Leqing indifferently with his deep eyes, then looked away. When his gaze fell on Shen Wanwan, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Someone, bring Miss Pei to me!"

Xie Leqing's expression changed immediately. He stepped forward and blocked Shen Wanwan's way. "What does Prince Pingnan mean?"

Prince Pingnan snorted coldly, but did not look at Xie Leqing. "What do I mean by this? I'll have to ask your good daughter."

He looked at the followers waiting outside the door and said, "What are you still standing there for? Do you need me to teach you how to arrest someone?"
