Su Chengye was a little dazed for a moment. The relationship between him and his daughter had been tense for some time.

Why is it that after he divorced, his daughter became at peace?

After drinking all the ginseng tea in his hand, Su Chengye ordered people to prepare lunch.

Su Qingyu thought of Aunt Lian and Su Shunci, and her thoughts went back and forth.

After sitting back in his chair and thinking for a moment, he said, "Father, my fourth sister has been following me to learn how to manage the household for the past six months, and she has managed the shop outside in an orderly manner."

"Now that mother is no longer at home, we can't ignore the business outside. Why don't we continue to let Fourth Sister manage it?"

The outside business Su Qingyu was talking about was the Su family's two silk and satin shops in the capital. Although it is not comparable to Lin's grain stores, it is still a stable source of income since it is an old store for many years.

I didn't think so in the past, but at this time, these two shops are particularly important.

Su Chengye thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's good. The fourth girl has made a lot of progress these days. I heard that the managers of the shops outside all respect her."

Su Qingyu was relieved when he agreed. With these two shops, the lives of Fourth Sister and Aunt Lian would be much better.

As for the stewardship of the inner house, Su Qingyu didn't want to fight for it for Aunt Lian.

Firstly, Aunt Lian is too temperamental to take care of the house, and second uncle's family is coming back soon, so Second Aunt will not allow Aunt Lian to take care of the house.

Anyway, there's nothing valuable left in this house, and it's of no value to care about. As for Aunt Lian and her daughter, she plans to supplement them privately.

After chatting for a while, Su Chengye mentioned Su Yuankai to Shen Zhixiu again. It had been three months since Su Yuankai's accident, and no one had seen him alive or dead.

Su Chengye and the old lady naturally thought deeply about their eldest son, their only son.

However, Shen Zhixiu blocked it on the grounds that there were still parts of the case that had not been fully investigated.

After lunch, Shen Zhixiu and Su Qingyu left the Su family and went to the house where Lin Wanyin was dowry.

That house is not far from the Lin family's house in the west of the city, in Yushu Hutong. The small house in Sanjin is not big, but it is clean and elegant.

When the two of them arrived, Lin Wuchen was leading his servants to help Lin Wanyin put away her things.

Seeing the young couple coming, Lin Wanyin shook her head and said, "Why are you here? You should go straight back home after leaving the Su family."

"The rules for returning home are that you can't visit us on the way."

Su Qingyu held Lin Wanyin's arm and said coquettishly: "Mom, I'm not visiting here, I'm going back to my parents' home."

Although Mrs. Lin was happy, she still did not let the two of them enter the house and told them to return to Shen's house quickly.

The two of them couldn't defeat Mrs. Lin, so they had no choice but to get on the carriage and return home.

In the Qingyuan Residence where the old lady of the Shen family lived, when Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu entered, both Chen and Yang were there.

After a few people greeted each other, the old lady asked about returning home.

Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu only responded vaguely, planning to explain the changes in the Su family to the old lady alone later.

You can't hide this kind of thing, so it's best to tell it as early as possible.

"When I came in, I heard my mother and two sisters-in-law talking about the excitement. What happy things were they talking about?" Su Qingyu sat down next to the old lady and asked softly.

Yang said: "We are talking about the marriage of our eldest young master. There are a lot of things to prepare for."

Mrs. Chen glanced sideways at Mrs. Yang, "Thank you for your hard work, second brother and sister. You will have to worry more about taking care of the middle child."

Su Qingyu already knew that Chen had been deprived of her position as housekeeper because of the incident in the palace last time. She must have been very unwilling to accept this, so she would say something to Yang whenever she had the chance.

Yang was naturally not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he sighed and said.

"This is the marriage of the eldest young man of our family, and he is marrying Princess Chaoyun. How dare I not do my best?"

"It's just that my sister-in-law has too much prestige in the family, so I don't dare to go beyond her on many things."

The old lady's eyes narrowed, "Huh? What's going on?"

Yang hurriedly smiled and said, "Mom, don't think too much, it's nothing serious."

"I have been looking for some fresh snacks in the past two days and want to try them in the kitchen. If they are delicious, I will prepare them when the young master gets married."

"Mother-in-law Wang in the kitchen said that this matter should be reported to the sister-in-law. I thought the same thing. After all, the young master is getting married, so it is right to ask the sister-in-law."

Mrs. Chen was surprised for a moment, she knew about the snacks. But Ms. Yang didn't say that it was prepared for Shen Zhao's marriage. She only asked the kitchen people to make it for her to try. The people in the kitchen didn't know what Yang meant, so they asked her.

She quietly glared at Yang, saying that such a trivial matter was worthy of causing trouble to the old lady, and she wouldn't be ashamed of it.

The old lady was also a little unhappy, but it was just a plate of snacks, and their sisters-in-law made such a fuss.

In the final analysis, the Yang family was not capable enough to control the housekeeper's wife, and the Chen family was adding fuel to the fire.

Su Qingyu sat on the side and didn't say much, and she wasn't interested in the Shen family's stewardship. No matter how much the two of them fought for each other, she, the newly married daughter-in-law, couldn't get her turn, so she was happy to watch the fun.

Shen Zhixiu sat on the edge for a while, then lost his patience. I don't want Su Qingyu to watch the first and second bedrooms fighting openly and secretly here.

"Mother, Qingyu and I will go back to rest first and come over for dinner in the evening."

The old lady waved her hand and said to Mrs. Chen and Ms. Yang: "You should go back too. You are tired after staying with me for a long time."

In fact, the two of them only sat together for half an hour, but it was just because the old lady disliked them.

On the way back home, Su Qingyu couldn't help but rub her swollen brows, her brows showing weariness.

Shen Zhixiu felt a little distressed and asked in a low voice: "Would you like to go back and take a nap? I'm going to the study to handle some official business."

Su Qingyu didn't know why, but she didn't want to go back and lie down alone. Then he said: "Then can I go? I'll go to your study to lie down and read for a while."

It seemed that when she was around Shen Zhixiu, she felt inexplicably calm and would not think nonsense.

Shen Zhixiu said dotingly: "Okay, let's go to the study together."

The two of them went back and changed into homely clothes, washed their faces, and then walked to the study.

When I walked to the door of the study, I saw Li Yunzhou suddenly walking out of the small reception hall next to the study.

He stood up in front of them and bowed again.

"Teacher, Mistress."

Su Qingyu:......

If she remembered correctly, she was two years younger than Li Yunzhou.

Why is she the master's wife?

Because Li Yunzhou was here, it was difficult for Su Qingyu to go in, so she planned to go back after saying a few words.

Shen Zhixiu said, "Yunzhou is considered a junior. You go to the study room to drink tea and read while we talk outside. It's okay."

He saw that she was restless, so he was reluctant to let her go back alone.

When Su Qingyu thought that this was a good idea, she followed Shen Zhixiu into the study.

There was a small couch placed by the window in the study room, and Su Qingyu picked up a travel journal.

Outside the window is a small garden, where flowers are in full bloom. She read a few pages of the book and then looked at the flowers, grass, insects and butterflies outside. Such a quiet afternoon made her relax.

Shen Zhixiu and Li Yunzhou outside were whispering about the situation in Liaodong. Some of them could be understood by Su Qingyu, while others could not.

After a while, Shen Zhixiu suddenly asked angrily.

"She did it again?"
