Shen Zhixiu shook his head and said, "Don't worry about this matter. We won't do that thing of beating up mandarin ducks."

Su Qingyu thought that Shen Zhixiu felt that doing so was a bit sinister, so she thought for a moment and said.

"Then if Prince Zhao is using my relationship with Su Yihui to make things difficult for the Third Master, the Third Master doesn't have to worry about it. My relationship with that concubine is worse than that of a stranger."

Seeing that she didn't understand, Shen Zhixiu explained with a faint smile: "Neither I, nor the Yan family, nor Zhao Rui want to touch Zhao Ji's position as the heir apparent."

"First of all, Zhao Rui is not interested in military power, and secondly, the late wife of Duke Wei is kind to the Yan family. It's just that Zhao Ji thinks too much and always wants to get closer to me."

"Before, he wanted his youngest son to marry Shen Yue, but I didn't agree. His youngest son is only ten years old this year."

Seeing the uncontrollable smile on Su Qingyu's lips, she said again.

"You don't have to worry about your concubine taking advantage of Zhao Ji's influence. She won't get much benefit from marrying into the Zhao family, and I'm afraid she will regret it in the future."

Su Qingyu was puzzled, looking at Shen Zhixiu with her twinkling eyes, her slightly raised eyelashes casting fan-shaped shadows at the end of her eyes.

Seeing that she didn't understand, Shen Zhixiu came closer and said in a mysterious manner.

"Believe me, it will be much more interesting for your concubine to marry into the Zhao family than to marry into the Su family."

"You will know after you come into contact with Zhao Ji two more times."

"Anyway, you don't have anywhere to send her away now, right? Why not let her marry into the Zhao family, and you can have some fun."

The two of them were not too far apart, and the breath he exhaled as he spoke happened to fall on Su Qingyu's ears.

Shen Zhixiu saw her cold side face turn red a little bit, and both of them stood motionless.

When Wenzhu knocked on the door and came in, he saw two faces that were equally red. He asked in surprise: "Third Master, is the room too hot? Do you want to open a crack in the window?"

Shen Zhixiu's Adam's apple squirmed, and his eyes instantly returned to clarity.

He said calmly, "No, even though it's spring, it's still cold outside."

He was afraid of catching Su Qingyu cold.

Su Qingyu thought of the strange thing just now and took two deep breaths. Suppressing the throbbing in his heart, he stood up and said goodbye and left the Shen family.

After returning from the Shen family, Su Qingyu rarely had contact with Su Yihui. Every day he would either eat and walk with Mr. Lin, or hide in the Bishui Pavilion and do needlework. Su Shunci came often and talked to her about trivial matters in the shop outside.

I heard that the old lady has already arranged two concubines for Su Chengye, and is just waiting for Su Qingyu to get married on May 18th, and then she will bring them into the house.

As for why she waited until Su Qingyu got married, the old lady explained that she didn't want Su Chengye and Lin to be distracted, so it was better to concentrate on preparing for Su Qingyu's marriage.

Su Qingyu knew clearly that the old lady was afraid that she would take care of the two concubines before she got married.

Lin Er's daughter-in-law soon found out about Jinghui Temple. She heard that it was Zhao Ji, the eldest son of Duke Wei, who sent the old Duke off to Qianzhou. On the way back to Beijing, I went to Huguo Temple to burn incense. On my way down the mountain, I chased a fox and ended up at the gate of Jinghui Temple.

I originally went in to ask for a drink, but instead I flirted with Su Yihui.

What happened was similar to what Su Qingyu guessed. She planned to listen to Shen Zhixiu and let Su Yihui marry into the Zhao family.

In late March, Su Chengxun, the third master of the Su family, finally returned to Beijing with his family.

Su Qingyu and Lin went to the second gate to greet them early. Su Yihui and Su Shunci also went with them.

These days, Su Yihui has great respect for Su Qingyu. But he still treated Su Shunci coldly. As for the third master and his family who were about to enter the house, Su Yihui was even more disdainful.

He also muttered: "If you come from a remote country, don't be dazzled by the wealth in this capital."

Su Qingyu shook her head and said nothing. Su Shunci sneered, "Third sister, if you have never seen the world, read more books."

"Jiangnan is rich, and Suzhou is even more prosperous. Many of our new materials and jewelry are imported from Jiangnan."

"The third sister actually laughed at the third uncle that they came back from a remote country. If you tell them, people will laugh."

Ever since Su Shunci beat Su Yihui last time, it was like a new door had been opened. After Su Yihui came back this time, Su Shunci didn't suffer any loss, but she often made Su Yihui speechless.

In addition, Su Shunci often followed Lin Wuchen to learn outside things these days, and Lin Wuchen also told her a lot about the customs and business rules of various places.

Su Shunci's vision suddenly became much higher than Su Yihui's. It was difficult for Su Yihui to understand many of the things he said, let alone refute them.

Just like what Su Shunci said at this time, Jiangnan was prosperous, and the style of clothes in the capital was spread from Jiangnan. Su Yihui wanted to refute, but she couldn't say anything.

She didn't even know where Suzhou was, so how could she know whether it was rich or not. What he said just now was just what Lata Sanfang said casually.

Su Yihui's face turned red, she glared at Su Shunci and said, "Sharp teeth and sharp mouth."

Su Shunci straightened his back, stood on tiptoe and hummed.

As for why he stood on tiptoe, it was just because he was short and wanted to be as powerful as Su Yihui.

"Madam, the carriage has entered the mansion." A little maid ran in and reported in a low voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a carriage coming from far away. Immediately afterwards, six carriages stopped at the second gate.

In the first car in front, Su Chengxun helped the third wife Haishi and her daughter Su Zhilan get out of the carriage.

On the second carriage, Su Yuanyi, the legitimate son of the third wife and the third young master of the Su family, also got off the carriage.

Mr. and Mrs. Su Chengxun, with their son and daughter, first paid a visit to their eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Lin.

Su Qingyu and others hurriedly stepped aside. After Lin and Su Chengxun exchanged a few words, she took her sisters forward to greet her third uncle and third aunt.

Su Chengxun is wearing a green Suzhou embroidered brocade robe. He is in his thirties, elegant and steady. The third lady next to her, Mrs. Hai, is gentle and dignified.

"Qingyu is already this big? If she were to walk on the street, Third Uncle wouldn't even recognize her."

Hai also said: "The last time I saw Qingyu was four years ago. She has become more and more beautiful."

Su Qingyu smiled brightly at Su Chengxun and his wife, "The third uncle and the third aunt have not changed much. I see that the third uncle is more dignified, and the third aunt is younger than before. They say that Jiangnan raises people, and it is true."

Haishi was a little surprised, Su Qingyu was not so close to them before. Another thought, after all, they are bloodline, maybe the girl is older and more polite and sensible than before.

"Sister-in-law, this child has been taught well by you. Not to mention his appearance and bearing, his little mouth is like honey." Haishi took Lin's hand and said with a smile.

Then she pulled the twelve-year-old Su Zhilan and the fourteen-year-old Su Yuanyi forward. "You two, quickly pay your respects to your sister."

Su Qingyu looked at Su Zhilan and thought that this girl was a real lady from a noble family. Compared with Su Yihui who always deliberately acted arrogantly, Su Zhilan's every move was elegant and dignified. She was only twelve years old, but she was already a beauty.

Su Yuanyi pursed his lips and smiled at Su Qingyu, with a bookish look on his face.

Su Qingyu invited two more sisters to come forward to pay her respects.

"Third uncle, brothers and sisters, let's go to Songhe Hall now to pay our respects to mother." Mrs. Lin stepped forward and said.

Haishi's gentle face subconsciously stiffened a bit.

She still remembers why Su Chengxun was released back then. If Mr. Chen Ge had not given the transfer order this time and it was difficult to refuse, she would not have wanted to return to Beijing at all.

Mrs. Lin knew what Haishi was thinking and whispered beside her: "Brothers and sisters, don't worry too much. If my mother-in-law makes such excessive demands again, just tell me."

Hai family was born into a noble family and was always afraid of being accused of being unfilial. Ms. Lin has come to this day, but she is not afraid of anything anymore.
