"My son-in-law is so happy."

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. The sound came suddenly.

When Shen Qiyin heard the voice and looked, he saw a handsome young man walking slowly towards him, fanning himself with a folding fan.

But it made her feel sick.

Retracting her gaze, she said calmly: "It's already autumn, aren't you cold, brother?" Why are you pretending with a broken fan!

Shen Yaozu folded his fan awkwardly, walked over and sat in the seat that originally belonged to Rendong.

He originally wanted to eat something, but when he saw the table full of crab shells and grape skins, he stretched out his hand and silently retracted it.

Since there was nothing to eat, he was too lazy to stay any longer and spoke directly, "I'm sure you've heard about Aunt Zheng being punished by the family rules, right?"

"Yeah." She laughed secretly for quite a while.

"That old woman was so cruel. Auntie is still crying out in pain."

"Go over and take a look at her. Should you boil some medicine for her to drink or make some medicine to apply on her? It's up to you." His tone was casual, but it contained a hint of command.

Shen Qiyin pursed his lips slightly and said nothing.

Shen Yaozu frowned secretly, but his tone was still gentle: "Yin'er? Are you listening to me?"

"I heard it." I heard it with both ears!

Only then did his brows relax.

As he was about to stand up, he suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, the scholars in the academy really liked the palindrome poem you wrote last time and praised me highly."

Shen Qiyin did not comment.

She helped Shen Yaozu complete all his schoolwork in the academy.

Different from Shen Guangzong's cold attitude, Shen Yaozu behaves like an older brother in front of Shen Qiyin.

He would affectionately call her "Yin'er" and would give her his own books when he learned that she also wanted to study. He would also give her his own sachets when Mrs. Shen prepared sachets for each child but left her out.

That was the only family affection Shen Qiyin felt in this cold mansion.

So, she used all her knowledge, composed poems and couplets, helped him secretly, and successfully made him a famous talent in the capital.

Among the six arts of a gentleman, even archery and chariot driving, which only require hands and no brain, he had to ask Shen Qiyin for help.

During one archery exercise, he shot an arrow at a teacher in the academy. It was Shen Qiyin who gave him some golden medicine and asked him to give it to the teacher as an apology. Only then was the matter barely over. Afterwards, he was ordered not to enter the shooting range again.

Another time, he fell and injured his leg while riding a horse. He had to lie in bed in the mansion for nearly half a year. It was only because Shen Qiyin took care of him every day and treated him carefully that his leg was saved.

He secretly competed with Shen Guangzong, not wanting to lose, so Shen Qiyin studied hard day and night and racked his brains to help him.

But later, the Qin family's group almost took her life.

Before he was sent to Zhuangzi, she specially asked someone to call him over, wanting to persuade him to study hard one last time.

This was not the first time she had said this. She was a person who always smiled gently, but this time she said in a frustrated voice: "Who do you think you are? How dare you give me orders?"

"If I didn't think you were of some use, you would have thought I was willing to care about you!"

Shen Qiyin still remembers vividly the disgust on his face and the coldness in his eyes when he said that.

It was completely different from the person who was smiling friendly in front of her at this moment.

Shen Yaozu: "My brother is now famous, Yin'er, this is all thanks to you."

Shen Qiyin nodded without hesitation.

That's true.

He is where he is today thanks to her talent.

As for whether he will come back or not, it depends on her mood.

But he said, "So, how are you going to thank me, brother?"

Shen Yaozu obviously didn't expect that she would really take credit for it. Didn't she always nag him to study hard like a grandmother in the past?

What happened today?

Coming back to his senses, he said calmly, "...In the past, when I wanted to thank you, you always declined, saying that thanking someone is too formal between siblings, so I took it seriously."

This is a roundabout way of saying that Shen Qiyuin is hypocritical.

Fortunately, she doesn't care at all.

But he said with a mixture of truth and falsehood: "That was indeed true."

"Just like... my brother always arranges to thank me."

"Uh... hehe, yes, yes..." His eyes flickered and he felt a little guilty.

"But I thought, once or twice is fine, but I can't keep rejecting my brother's kindness. If those people who like to gossip about me find out, they will think that my brother is stingy and can't even give a toy to his own sister."

"...How could that be?" Shen Yaozu laughed dryly: "You and I are our closest relatives, if I don't love you, who else can I love?"

"Tell me what you like and I'll buy it for you!"

Hearing this, Shen Qiyin finally gave him a look and smiled, "Then I want the rouge from Fendiexuan."

As soon as he heard the words "Fendiexuan", Shen Yaozu stopped laughing.

That’s the best rouge shop in the whole of Shangjing!

He asked tentatively: "How much silver do you want?"

"Six taels."

"Six taels?!" Shen Yaozu stood up in a flash and asked excitedly, "What kind of rouge does it cost so much silver? Is it made of gold?"

Shen Qiyin looked innocent: "My brother asked me what I like."

"Then you can't just say it!" He felt that she was being too aggressive: "Is that something you should like with your status?"

"Besides, you know the situation in our house, so how can we squander it casually?"

"I'm not saying anything to you as your brother, but you're grown up now and you should be more calculating in everything. Will you be so extravagant in your husband's family after you get married?"
