The eldest of the three brothers of the Su family, Su Chengye, is a bit soft-spoken.

The third son, Su Chengxun, grew up with the old man of the Su family and is an upright and decent person.

To say that he has the most clever mind and the fastest brain, it is the second child Su Chengyan.

After Su Chengyan finished speaking, Su Chengye began to think in his mind. Before she could figure out the result, the old lady spoke first.

"Second brother, this is a good idea. You three brothers should discuss it and see what we can do?"

Today, the things in the warehouse were being taken away one by one. If Su Chengye hadn't stopped them, she would have fought with the Lin family.

This afternoon, the scene in today's warehouse was in my mind, and the more I thought about it, the more distressed I became.

If Su Chengyan said it according to what he said, not only could the money be recovered, but the Lin family would also be able to pay the price.

Thinking of this, the old lady changed her previous depression and became much more energetic.

Su Chengye probably understood what Su Chengyan meant. In short, he was just acting rogue.

Lin Wanyin had been married for twenty years, so it was impossible for her to keep every account clear. They could use this to accuse the Lin family of robbing property.

Su Chengye was a little moved, this was indeed a good idea.

He turned to look at Su Chengxun, "Third brother, what do you think? You are in the Metropolitan Procuratorate now. If there is a need for a joint trial by the three departments, can you help smoothen the relationship?"

The old lady and Su Chengyan also looked at Su Chengxun, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Su Chengxun felt bitter in his heart, what should he say? He couldn't help with this, so what was wrong with the Lin family? But now that he said he would not help, there was another dispute between the brothers.

After pondering for a moment, Su Chengxun said, "Zhixiu and Qingyu are also back today. What did they say?"

"Does Brother know what Zhixiu's attitude is?"

Su Chengxun wanted to use Shen Zhixiu's name to dispel their ideas. "Brother, Zhixiu is your son-in-law and my sister-in-law's son-in-law."

Su Chengye was a little confused when he heard him mention Shen Zhixiu. Then he repeated what Shen Zhixiu said to him today.

He suddenly said: "According to what the eldest brother said, the young couple did not step forward to help the Lin family. It is possible that my uncle does not agree with it."

"As for what I said to my eldest brother, I just wanted to calm things down, and I was afraid that it would cause a big commotion and hurt the Shen family's face, right?"

Seeing everyone frowning in deep thought, Mrs. He smiled again and said, "My natal niece entered the East Palace last month and is now the Crown Prince Liangdi."

"I heard that my uncle is in the court and has always been close to His Highness the Crown Prince. He should not turn to the Lin family about this matter."

"How can a merchant's family catch the attention of the current court elder?"

The old lady's expression lit up when she heard this, "Your niece? Is she Jiaojiao who has been to our house before?"

Mrs. He nodded and said with a happy face: "Even she has fallen into the eyes of the Concubine Xian for some reason."

"My brother originally said that he would find a way to transfer us back to Beijing this year. Before we could clear the relationship, the transfer order came unexpectedly."

The old lady suddenly beamed with joy, "This girl is really promising. When I was a child, I said that her phoenix eyes exuded nobility, and it's true."

Having said this, the old lady made a decisive decision and decided to sue the Lin family.

Seeing this, Su Chengxun left with Haishi on the pretext that he still had some official business to attend to.

On the way back to Qingyinyuan, Haishi asked in a low voice: "Do I need to tell my sister-in-law about this?"

Su Chengxun looked around and signaled Hai not to mention this matter outside.

When he returned to Qingyinyuan, Su Chengxun changed into the clothes of a humble boy. Go out from the corner door of Su's house and quietly go to Shen's house.

The light in the Qingyin Academy's study was on all the time. Inside, a figure who looked like Su Chengxun was writing something behind a desk.

Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu had dinner at the old lady's Qingyuan Residence and were walking to the west courtyard.

The maid Qiu Yue suddenly came forward and said, "Third Master, Madam, someone from the Su family wants to see Madam. He says he is Madam's third uncle."

Su Qingyu frowned, why did the third uncle come now? The third uncle was not present in today's farce. Could it be that he wanted her to persuade his mother?

Or, what happened to the Hou Mansion after she left?

While Su Qingyu was in a daze, Shen Zhixiu had already spoken. "Uncle, please come to the study to talk. Tea is served."

He guessed that Su Chengxun would not come at this time for no reason, so he invited him to the study so that they could talk.

He took Su Qingyu's hand again and walked towards the study room in the west courtyard.

When the two of them went in, Su Chengxun had already arrived.

Su Qingyu looked at Su Chengxun's attire and knew that something was wrong with the Su family. The third uncle came here secretly.

"Third uncle, what's wrong? But what happened at home?"

Su Chengxun stood up and greeted Shen Zhixiu, and the three of them sat down as guests and hosts.

After sitting down, Su Chengxun explained in detail what happened after Su Chengyan came back today. Including Su Chengyan's proposal and the old lady's final decision.

"Zhixiu, Qingyu, you have to prepare for this in advance."

"Although Su Chengyan is trying to be a rogue, I'm afraid that he will really fall for him."

Su Qingyu was so angry that her face was livid. The second uncle had made it clear that he was reluctant to part with money, so he didn't care about anything else and just wanted to get those belongings back.

It is also possible that the eldest son's family has died out and the only male heir, Su Yuankai, has not returned. When the second uncle and second aunt returned to Beijing this time, they might have regarded the Su family's assets as their own.

After Su Chengxun said this, he got up and went back. Su Qingyu sent him out of the house gratefully, and returned to the study with Shen Zhixiu.

"Third Master, what do you think the second uncle's chances of winning are?" Su Qingyu asked.

Shen Zhixiu clasped his fingers lightly, thought for a moment and said, "It depends on my mother-in-law's preparation. Let's go to Yushu Alley."

Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu entered Lin's house with solemn expressions. When they came out again, their eyebrows relaxed.

On the carriage back home, Shen Zhixiu held Su Qingyu's shoulders.

"Let me just say that my mother-in-law came prepared this time, right? Do you feel at ease now?"

Su Qingyu unconsciously leaned her head on Shen Zhixiu's shoulder and closed her eyes slightly.

"Mother is right, there are too many people in Beijing watching you. The higher you are, the more cautious you must be."

"Don't come forward about this matter yet. You can go to court as usual tomorrow morning, and I'll go find my cousin to discuss countermeasures."

Shen Zhixiu turned around and kissed Su Qingyu on the forehead, and whispered: "Okay, let's see what the Ministry of Punishment says first."

"If nothing else happens, this matter will be settled soon."

What Shen Zhixiu said was no surprise. Everything in the Criminal Department was handled in accordance with the rules, and whatever happened was judged accordingly.

Of course, accidents can happen. That is someone taking advantage of the situation to bully others and playing some shady tricks behind their backs.

There was a cold light in Su Qingyu's narrowed eyes. She also has Zhou Buren in her hand, so she can get her father's threats when necessary.
