After Shen Zhixiu finished speaking, Su Qingyu froze on the chair.

He was actually willing to let her get pregnant two years late and asked Mr. Zhou to prescribe him a prescription?

Mr. Zhou also looked at Shen Zhixiu blankly.

"Third Master, are you kidding me?"

"Do you think I'm joking? Sir, please do as I say."

Mr. Zhou was not pretentious and just said, "The third master is really deeply affectionate towards his wife."

Then he said: "I do have a prescription for preventing pregnancy. It is for men. After drinking it, my wife will not be pregnant within a year."

"Besides, I'll make another bowl of medicine for Madam, and everything will be safe."

After all, the two of them had just consummated their marriage, and the medicine Shen Zhixiu drank had nothing to do with what happened last night.

It was not until Mr. Zhou went downstairs to boil the medicine that Su Qingyu came to her senses.

"Third Master, why did you suddenly think of this? Does mother know about this?"

In a wealthy family, there is nothing more important than heirs. Besides, even if you avoid your son, there is no precedent for a man to take medicine.

If the old lady knew about this today, she didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be.

Shen Zhixiu whispered: "Today I suddenly received a piece of news from the Liaodong border. Because the matter was a little urgent, I asked Wen Zhu to send this news to Yang Wenshi, the Minister of War."

"Wenzhu just came to me and said that Yang Wenshi's step-wife died of dystocia this morning. Mrs. Yang entered the family last year and is seventeen years old this year."

Su Qingyu remembered Shen Zhixiu's calm expression after entering the room just now, and asked softly: "Are you worried about me?"

Shen Zhixiu nodded, "Yes, no matter how important the heir's affairs are, they are not as important as you."

He knew what Su Qingyu was worried about, so he comforted her: "You don't have to worry about mother. If she asks, I will explain it clearly."

"But you have to keep it a secret. Only the three of us know about it."

He was not afraid of anything else, but that his mother would find out and think it was Su Qingyu's secret idea. If it affects the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he has sinned.

Su Qingyu looked at Shen Zhixiu with her twinkling eyes, and felt her heart burning.

"Third Master..."

The words of gratitude were stuck in my throat and I didn't say them out. It seemed like everything he said at this time seemed raw.

Shen Zhixiu joked, "You haven't gotten pregnant yet, so your mother will definitely ask about it. Then I'll say that I'm old and useless."

Su Qingyu's face turned red instantly, and she rolled her eyes at him, "How could you say that about yourself?"

Shen Zhixiu came closer and asked in her ear, "You mean, I'm still a useful husband?"

Su Qingyu:......

For a moment, she didn't know how to answer.

She could only look at him coquettishly and remain silent.

Soon Mr. Zhou came in with two bowls of medicine, one bowl was handed to Shen Zhixiu, and the other was handed to Su Qingyu.

Su Qingyu first took Shen Zhixiu's bowl and said playfully: "Is it bitter if I smell yours?"

In fact, she was still a little worried about Mr. Zhou. Even though Shen Zhixiu swore that this person was trustworthy, she still wanted to hear if there was anything unusual about the medicine. After hearing it, he laughed at himself. With Mr. Zhou's medical skills, if he wanted to poison the couple, he wouldn't bother to boil the medicine.

After drinking two bowls of medicine, Su Qingyu suddenly felt something in her heart and asked Mr. Zhou, "Do you have any medicine that will prevent men from having children in the future after drinking it?"

The corners of Mr. Zhou's mouth twitched sharply, "The Duan Zi Jue Sun Wan?"

How much hatred must it be to give someone this kind of medicine?

Su Qingyu nodded hurriedly, "Mr. Zhou, can you give me a pill?"

When she comes back tomorrow, it will be just in time for her father, who can't carry it, to eat it. Otherwise, when my brother returns home, there might be a drama of brothers killing each other if there are several brothers who are concubines.

Mr. Zhou glanced at Shen Zhixiu and saw that he nodded slightly, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"Then I will send it to the Third Madam in a moment. But don't give this medicine to anyone by mistake. Once you take it, you will be powerless."

After Mr. Zhou left, the maid Chuntao came in and said, "Third Master, madam, it's time to go to the main courtyard for dinner."

Shen Zhixiu stood up and said, "Madam, let's go."

On the way to the main courtyard, Su Qingyu pretended to be curious and asked Mr. Zhou.

"Third Master, this Mr. Zhou seems very upright and has such superb medical skills. It's not easy to meet such a person."

Shen Zhixiu heard her mention it and started talking too.

"He is indeed a very good person and has his own bottom line in doing things. Not only does he have superb medical skills, he is also good at using poison."

Su Qingyu said casually and jokingly: "Would it cost a lot of money to ask him to use poison once?"

Shen Zhixiu led her through the Moon Gate and squeezed her hand after hearing this, "What are you thinking about? How could such a person poison her for money?"

The most important thing for a medical master like Mr. Zhou is money.

Su Qingyu pursed her lips and thought, it wasn't for money, so why did he help Shen Zhao in his previous life?

"Since he is from the Miao border, why did he come to the capital?"

"His daughter died of illness two years ago. He had nowhere to stay, so he came here to relax."

Su Qingyu wanted to ask more, but seeing that they had already arrived at the old lady's Qingyuan Residence, she stopped talking about it.

In the dining room of Qingyuanju, there were two tables of food. It is a rule of the Shen family that whenever they eat at Qingyuan Residence, all dishes are vegetarian.

The old lady was sitting in the inner room with her three daughters-in-law and several granddaughters, and the three masters and several young masters of the Shen family were sitting in the outer room. There is a rosewood screen in the middle.

The maids came in with hot towels and mouthwash. The second lady Yang served the old lady to wipe her hands and rinse her mouth, and the eldest lady Chen looked after the maids to serve the food.

Although there were many people in the room, it did not appear cluttered. The maids and women all performed their duties, no matter what they were busy with, there was no sound at all.

Su Qingyu had just arrived and couldn't help, so she stood aside submissively.

Mrs. Chen's eyebrows moved when she saw this, and she walked up to Su Qingyu with a cup of soup.

He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Third brother and sister, you just came here and you still don't know the rules of the house. When we eat together, our sisters-in-law serve our mother in the back room."

"This is mother's soup. She will be happy if you serve it."

Su Qingyu looked down at the white porcelain soup cup with lotus pattern in Chen's hand, and raised the corners of her lips in an arc.

This soup cup is not used by the old lady. The old lady has a set of blue and white porcelain tableware, which has not been changed for many years.

Mrs. Chen showed her kindness at this time, and it was obvious that she had no good intentions.

Su Qingyu took the soup cup and opened it easily.

Just as she thought, there was a cup of yam soup inside.

The old lady never drinks yam soup. The small kitchen in Qingyuanju always makes mushroom and tofu soup for the old lady. But because yam is good for the body, the younger members of the family will make this soup when they come to eat.

If she brought this soup to the old lady, although the old lady would not be angry, Mrs. Chen would definitely take the opportunity to make a fuss about it. At that time, not only will she be embarrassed, but the third master will also lose face.

Su Qingyu's thoughts moved and she raised her voice and said, "Sister-in-law, do you mean to send this cup of yam soup to mother?"
