Lin Wuchen saw the person clearly, stood up to welcome him in, and moved a chair over.

"Boss Shen Pavilion is here, you are not welcome from afar." Lin Wuchen joked.

Shen Zhixiu flicked his robe, sat down on the chair, and rolled his eyes at him angrily.

Su Qingyu was still looking at Shen Zhixiu in a daze, not really looking at him, but thinking about what to say about this.

It stands to reason that since she is not married yet, she does not need to inform him of everything about her mother's family. But it seems that the mother wants to wait until she gets married before discussing the matter of divorce.

At that time, it will definitely cause an uproar in the capital. Although the law does not prohibit divorce, it is rare for families like theirs to do this.

Shen Zhixiu, as the second assistant in the cabinet and the son-in-law of the Su family, will definitely be affected.

After much thought, Su Qingyu decided to inform him in advance.

If it had a big impact on the Shen family, she would have to think about it again. Let's see how to lay out a plan to make this reconciliation reasonable and ideally what the people want.

Shen Zhixiu was stared at by Su Qingyu for a long time, and he subconsciously touched his nose, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Lin Wuchen stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Su Qingyu's eyes, "Cousin, even if he is good-looking, you don't have to stare at him for so long, right?"

Su Qingyu suddenly came back to her senses, her face suddenly turned red.

She lowered her head to pick up the teacup, took a concealing sip, and brought back her messy thoughts.

At this time, a waiter from the shop came up, bent over and asked Lin Wuchen with a smile, "Third Young Master, your fish shop has never cooked it before, should you fry it first?"

Lin Wuchen was afraid that the cook in the store would ruin the fish he finally got, so he stood up quickly and said, "I'll go take a look."

Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu were the only ones left in the room. Su Qingyu knew that Shen Zhixiu was still waiting for her to answer what she just said.

"Third Master, my third cousin and I are talking about my mother's marriage. Due to circumstances, I think I should tell you about this matter."

After Su Qingyu said this, she raised her eyes to look at Shen Zhixiu's expression. I don’t know why, but my heart feels like beating a drum.

Then he pondered and said: "If Third Master would mind..."

Before Su Qingyu finished her sentence, Shen Zhixiu asked: "What did Marquis Pingning do again? Is Auntie okay?"

Su Qingyu shook her head subconsciously, "I've been feeling peaceful recently. My mother is fine, but she just gave up on him."

"I don't want my mother to waste time in a deep house like the Marquis Mansion."

The unfinished words of Su Qingyu flashed through Shen Zhixiu's mind, and he stared at her with burning eyes.

Yousheng asked: "If I mind, what do you want?"

The extremely oppressive aura made Su Qingyu blurt out subconsciously: "If you mind, I will think about it again."

Thinking of her mother's situation in the Marquis' Mansion, she murmured again, "There is no need to maintain this marriage anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhixiu stood up, walked to Su Qingyu and leaned down slightly.

With her hand supporting the back of the chair behind Su Qingyu, a Qingjun face came closer.

"Who said in the study that you have admired me for a long time? We can't share the same quilt in life, and we will share the same hole in death?"

Shen Zhixiu spoke in a low voice and frowned slightly.

Su Qingyu shrank her neck and was a little confused. The Shen Zhixiu in front of her felt strange to her.

Her initial impression of Shen Zhixiu was that he was gentle and kind. It was only in the Penal Department Prison that she learned that he could be so cruel.

But like today, this is the first time. She seemed to have never really understood him.

"Huh?" Shen Zhixiu moved closer, trying to see the emotions in her eyes.

Su Qingyu took a deep breath, raised her head to meet his burning gaze, and said, "I said it, but Third Master, what does my mother and Li have to do with whether we are buried together after death?"

Shen Zhixiu suppressed his voice and asked, "I also want to know why your mother's divorce affected our marriage?"

Su Qingyu was startled, "Our marriage? What is the third master talking about? I don't understand."

Shen Zhixiu chuckled lightly, but the smile was cold no matter how you looked at it.

"It's not what you said. There is no need to maintain this marriage."

Only then did Su Qingyu understand what he meant, and a smile appeared in her twinkling eyes.

"I'm talking about the marriage between my mother and my father. What does the third master think?"

Shen Zhixiu was also shocked when he heard this, "Then when you said you were thinking about it, weren't you thinking about breaking off the engagement?"

Su Qingyu couldn't help laughing. "I mean, I need to think about how to reduce the impact of this incident on the Shen family."

Shen Zhixiu coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, "I have nothing to mind about Auntie and Li. If the Su family refuses, I can stand up for Auntie."

His voice returned to a gentle tone, and the look between his brows became much more relaxed.

Hearing the footsteps coming from outside the private room, Shen Zhixiu stood up, raised his feet and sat back down.

Lin Wuchen pushed the door open and saw Shen Zhixiu holding a pot and pouring tea with his own hands. Su Qingyu sat there with a blushing face, her eyebrows lowered.

"Where are you talking about?" Lin Wuchen asked suspiciously.

Shen Zhixiu drank a cup of tea and suddenly realized that he had just lost his mind. He rarely does this, and I don't know what happened today.

Su Qingyu came to her senses and said, "The third master said that if the Su family does not agree to reconcile, he can help."

Speaking of this, she looked at Shen Zhixiu gratefully.

Lin Wuchen's eyes swept between Shen Zhixiu and Su Qingyu, and he suddenly said, "I'm just going to get a fish. Why are you two so jealous all of a sudden?"

Su Qingyu said expressionlessly, "You are dazzled."

In fact, she was so flustered by Lin Wuchen's words that she tried not to cast her eyes on Shen Zhixiu.

Sensing Su Qingyu's strange behavior, Shen Zhixiu turned around and glared at Lin Wuchen.

Just as Lin Wuchen was about to reply, the waiter walked in with a fish.

Su Qingyu felt like she was being pardoned, picked up her chopsticks and started eating. She only had two or three mouthfuls of fish, but she didn't taste it.

Shen Zhixiu saw that Su Qingyu liked this fish very much, so he asked Lin Wuchen, "What kind of fish is this? Where did you get it?"

Lin Wuchen thought he liked it, so he said: "This is a cold-water fish from the Black Wilderness. The steward of the Lin family got it back. If you like it, I can give you some next time."

Then he said: "Is there more? It's not easy to transport this thing. We have a lot of family members, so we can only divide it among you."

Shen Zhixiu secretly made a note, picked up the fish meat without bones in the belly, and handed it to Su Qingyu's bowl.

He didn't eat much himself. Before meeting Su Qingyu and Lin Wuchen, he had just eaten with his colleagues.

At the dinner table, Su Qingyu told the two of them that Su Yihui wanted half of her dowry. Lin Wuchen scolded Su Yihui for being shameless, and said that when Su Qingyu gets married, she will be very happy.

After eating, the three of them went downstairs and prepared to go home.

"Zhixiu? Miss Su?"

Zhao Ji, the Crown Prince of Wei State, got off the carriage and called out to them.
