In the middle of the night, Su Qingyu lay drowsily in Shen Zhixiu's arms.

Shen Zhixiu reached out and stroked her sweat-stained forehead, then looked at the end of her red eyes, lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

The servant brought hot water in. He carried Su Qingyu to the bathroom at the back, and ordered Chuntao to change the mattress on the bed.

When entering the bathtub, Su Qingyu opened her eyes tiredly. Shen Zhixiu coaxed softly: "I'll help you wash up briefly, you can go to sleep."

Su Qingyu was extremely tired. She felt that her waist, which was still sore just now, felt much better when she touched the hot water.

But she felt uncomfortable when Shen Zhixiu washed her, so she just kept her eyes closed.

Fortunately, Shen Zhixiu quickly wrapped her in a large cotton towel and carried her back to the bed.

The new mattress on the bed is dry and comfortable. In addition, I just took a shower, the sticky feeling on my body is gone, and my whole body feels refreshed.

She put her head into the soft pillow and fell asleep.

Shen Zhixiu washed himself briefly and felt refreshed when he went to bed again.

He leaned sideways, resting his head on his elbows, looking at Su Qingyu by candlelight.

Thinking she was a little hot from sleeping, she stretched both arms outside. The exposed arms were slender and fair, with skin as smooth as gel.

He couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed the side of her face. She frowned and snorted. He turned over, leaving him with a smooth and tight back.

Shen Zhixiu lay down behind her and hugged her from behind. He buried his head in her neck and fell asleep unconsciously.

Early the next morning, Su Qingyu opened her eyes in confusion, only to find that she was imprisoned in Shen Zhixiu's arms.

His arms were around her and his legs were on top of her.

Her whole body shrank into a ball in her arms.

The person behind her noticed that she was awake, and kissed her all over her back.

"Are you awake?" His voice was low and hoarse, his lust still lingering.

Su Qingyu, who realized what he wanted to do, immediately moved inside and turned around to face him.

"Third Master, it's time to get up. I want to pay my respects."

On the first day of her wedding, she would give gifts to everyone in the Shen family and serve tea to the old lady.

Even though her whole body was sore at this moment, she still had to push herself to get up.

Shen Zhixiu, who originally wanted to hug her, saw Su Qingyu frowning when she stood up, and subconsciously asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Su Qingyu rolled her eyes at him and said nothing.

Shen Zhixiu thought for a while, "Then I'll ask Mr. Zhou to get some medicine."

Su Qingyu said hurriedly: "No, I... I will just rest for two days."

He didn't feel embarrassed to ask for medicine for such a thing, but she felt ashamed.

After the two stood up, the maids filed in to help Su Qingyu dress up.

There was another person who came in with Chuntao, named Qiuyue, who was also the maid given to her by Shen Zhixiu.

"You use it first and see if it feels bad, then we can change it." Shen Zhixiu said in a low voice.

Su Qingyu later learned that Mr. Shen's criteria for selecting maids was to be honest, do things decently and not talk too much.

These people he selected had their families checked again.

Su Qingyu originally thought that after entering the mansion, it would take a lot of trouble to hire people. Unexpectedly, Shen Zhixiu took care of everything for her, so she didn't have to worry about it at all.

Chuntao and Qiuyue consciously entered the bathroom and packed away the clothes they had changed. Personal service, makeup and hair are all done with pearls and jade.

Today is the second day of her wedding, and it is also the day when she officially meets the elders of the Shen family, so she needs to put more thought into her dress.

Pearl took out the bright red five-blessing flower robe that she had prepared in advance, put on a pair of peony steps sprinkled with gold on her head, and changed her bun into a woman's bun.

After everything was packed, Su Qingyu looked carefully in the mirror again.

Shen Zhixiu walked closer and looked up and down, "It looks good."

The two of them took their servants and walked to Qingyuan Residence in the main courtyard.

Along the way, there are always maids stopping to salute, "Hello, Third Master, Hello, Third Madam."

At this time, Pearl would take out the prepared purse, which contained silver ingots packed in advance.

Soon they arrived at the old lady's Qingyuan Residence. A little girl lifted up the fine cloth curtain and invited the third master and the third lady in.

In the main hall of Qingyuanju, other members of the Shen family have arrived.

Mrs. Shen was sitting on the Taishi chair. When she saw the two people coming in, a loving smile appeared on her face.

A mother-in-law brought a futon over, and a little maid next to her brought a red lacquer tray with a celadon tea cup on it.

Su Qingyu knelt down and served tea to the old lady and called her mother.

The old lady took the tea and took a sip, then handed her the gilt box that had been prepared.

Su Qingyu thanked her and handed the things to Pearl aside to keep.

After getting up, she walked to Shen Zhiheng and Chen, "Brother, sister-in-law."

Mrs. Chen hummed, with a cold expression, and handed over a brocade box. Su Qingyu took it with a smile and thanked her.

Opposite Mrs. Chen are the second wife Yang and the second master Shen Zhishu.

Su Qingyu stepped forward and said, "Second brother, second sister-in-law."

Yang is in her mid-thirties, wearing a jeweled hairpin and a purple Suzhou embroidered mandarin gown.

When he smiles, he has an easy-going face and a smile that makes no one defensive. Even the people in the Shen family said that the second lady was kind-hearted.

But Su Qingyu knew in her heart that the second lady was much smarter than the eldest lady Chen.

After the death of Shen Zhixiu in the previous life, the power of the Shen family in the court collapsed, and the two masters also knew that they did not have much talent. Later, the two families began to compete for the family's property. After all, if you get these properties, you will also get the money. Even if your official career is not going well, you can live a stable life if you have money.

At that time, Su Qingyu, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family, had a lot of fights with the second wife of the Shen family.

"The third brother and sister are married, and we will be a family from now on. If you need help with anything, just come to Jifangyuan to see me, and don't be polite to the second sister-in-law."

Compared to Chen, Yang's approach at this time naturally caught the old lady's eye more.

Su Qingyu still had a faint smile on her face. She was neither frightened by Chen's attitude nor overjoyed by Yang's smile.

"Thank you second sister-in-law. I will inevitably bother you in the future."

Afterwards, Shen Zhixiu and Su Qingyu sat down, and the younger members of the Shen family stepped forward to greet Su Qingyu.

The first one is naturally Shen Zhao.

Shen Zhao is wearing a light-colored brocade robe, with a wide brocade belt around his waist, and has a long body.

"Hello, third aunt."

Shen Zhao spoke respectfully and in a calm tone, with no unnecessary emotion audible.

Su Qingyu nodded and replied with a polite word, and then motioned to Pearl to give her a meeting gift, which was a fine wolf-hair pen. This greeting gift is quite satisfactory, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Shen Zhao took it and thanked Su Qingyu.

The look in Su Qingyu's eyes was filled with anger and resentment.

At this glance, Su Qingyu also had a panoramic view. She unconsciously tightened her mind and cheered up.

When Shen Zhao raised his head again, his eyes had regained clarity. To anyone who saw him, he was an open-minded young man.

Su Qingyu knew in her heart that she couldn't keep this person.
