“The young Lady says the account book can also be simply called a notebook,” Yinzhu opened the accounts and began reading, “Five bolts of Su Satin.”

As she said so, she had a servant move the five bolts of Su Satin to an empty box beside them.

“A pair of jade, three bracelets, two pairs of earrings…” Yinzhu recited each item and checked it off one by one.

Xiao Chonghuan felt that since the gifts had been given, taking them back seemed a bit awkward, “Since they’ve been given, there’s no need to return…”

Shen Yun quickly interrupted him, “Master, since the daughter-in-law ‘dislikes’ these items, let’s return them. She’s so noble, after all.”

“It’s not that I’m being noble,” Su Qingyue sneered coldly, “it’s that Lady Xiao had her own ulterior motives in giving me these things. I can’t accomplish what you asked, so it’s best if you stop thinking about it. I find your things filthy anyway.”

To be soft-spoken for others, to be short-handed, she, Su Qingyue, would decidedly not be someone’s concubine.

“You!” Shen Yun’s face showed an exceedingly kind smile, “Count, make sure you count everything clearly, and if anything is missing, the compensation must be paid in full!”

“Of course,” Su Qingyue’s facial expression was calm as water.

“Count everything carefully!” Shen Yun simply snatched the account book from Yinzhu and checked it meticulously, item by item. After a while, she found not a single thing was missing, and that everything was untouched as originally given.

During this time, she had sent Su Qingyue countless gold and silver and jewels, satin silk, and she was feeling the pinch. Now that they were all returned intact, she felt especially pleased. In total, they were worth more than 30,000 taels of silver.

“Have you counted everything clearly, Lady Xiao?” Su Qingyue asked coolly.

“You know what’s good for you,” Shen Yun felt that since Su Qingyue was not someone who obeyed orders, there was no point in trying to win her over anymore.

Even if Su Qingyue had not returned everything voluntarily, she would have found a way to make her ‘spit it out’.

“You may leave now,” Shen Yun gave her a glance.

Su Qingyue elegantly placed the empty tea cup back on the table, “Why the hurry, Lady Xiao? Your accounts with me are settled, but I haven’t started on yours yet.”

“What accounts of mine?” Shen Yun was baffled.

Su Qingyue’s voice was as light as a cloud, “Master Xiao, Lady Xiao, we are neither kith nor kin. You have stayed in my Mansion for over a month, eaten my food, drunk my drink, lived in my accommodations, and ordered around the servants in my house. Given your status, naturally, you wouldn’t stay for free, would you?”

“What do you mean?” Shen Yun’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“It’s very simple. Pay for food and accommodation, and for ordering around the servants.”

Shen Yun’s face darkened, while Xiao Chonghuan was refreshingly direct, “Since you want to be so precise, then we’ll pay. The Xiao Family has more than enough money.”

“Master Xiao is truly forthright,” Su Qingyue signaled Yinzhu with a glance.

Yinzhu immediately approached Xiao Chonghuan, “Master Xiao, your total food and accommodation fees for this period amount to 108,704 copper coins.”

Xiao Chonghuan’s stern and sharp eyes instantly widened, a rage flaring up, “Say that again!”

Yinzhu, intimidated by his aura, trembled and dared not speak further. She thought to herself, the young Lady is really gouging them…

Even the head of an aristocratic family as wealthy as the Xiao Family is getting angry.

Su Qingyue took an account book from her sleeve pocket and tossed it to Xiao Chonghuan, “108,704 copper coins. Not one cent less. How about this, seeing as you’ve stayed for quite a while, I’ll round down the four copper coins. Here is your consumption bill, check it.”
