A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Mrs. Chen sounded like she was trying to make peace with Shen Zhixiu, but the implication was that she had married Su Qingyu, which caused a lot of trouble for Shen Zhixiu.

Su Qingyu smiled lightly, took the tea handed over by the maid, and gently put it aside.

His face was neither anxious nor angry, and he said, "I don't agree with what my sister-in-law said. If the third master's official career is affected because of my family's affairs, then he doesn't need to be a junior minister in the cabinet."

"I can understand my sister-in-law's criticism of my mother's family. But I don't feel comfortable hearing her questioning the third master's ability in such a subtle way."

Su Qingyu finished her words calmly and calmly. Chen's face changed, and she twisted her handkerchief subconsciously, explaining, "That's not what I meant."

After saying that, she quietly glanced at the old lady's expression. They had been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for many years, and she could tell that the old lady was a little unhappy.

Shen Zhixiu chuckled lightly and said, "My mother-in-law really cares about us. She should have divorced before we got married. But for the sake of our marriage, she has delayed it until now."

"Uncle Lin and my mother-in-law were both afraid of affecting me, so they never asked me for anything no matter how difficult it was."

There was obvious protection inside and outside the words, and Su Qingyu's heart felt warm again.

The old lady nodded and said to Su Qingyu: "Go and spend time with your mother when you have nothing to do. I have also heard about these things. She has been wronged."

Seeing that the old lady had no intention of blaming Su Qingyu, Mrs. Chen thought for a while and spoke again.

"Zhao'er will get married next month. It's not good to spread such a thing at this time."

"What if the matter gets serious and reaches Princess Yongjia, and delays Zhaoer's marriage?"

Su Qingyu couldn't help but rolled her eyes. What does her mother Heli have to do with Shen Zhao? It's not like Shen Zhiheng and Chen are making peace.

Before Su Qingyu could speak, she heard the fine cloth curtain outside being lifted up, and Yang said as she walked inside.

"Sister-in-law is really worrying too much. The parents of the third brother and sister are getting divorced, so it's not a big scandal."

"Instead of worrying about this, sister-in-law should worry about the young master's previous affair without a matchmaker."

Yang walked in as he spoke. He bowed to the old lady and smiled kindly at Su Qingyu.

Su Qingyu stood up and politely offered her seat to Yang.

After hearing what Yang said, Mrs. Chen said displeasedly: "The second brother and sister are really worried. Did you hear what we were saying in the room?"

"If you have this time, you'd better take care of the clothes. The clothes sent to the third lady by sewing this morning still had needles in them. Unfortunately, the third lady's arm was pricked."

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Yang's sisters-in-law had been fighting openly and secretly before. In the past few months, they had been secretly stumbling upon each other because of the stewardship, but they still retained some dignity on their faces.

I don’t know if I’m all angry lately, but I often talk about these things openly.

Su Qingyu's eyebrows tightened when she heard this. Was Shen Yue pricked by a needle?

Mrs. Qian on the needlework is Yang's confidant, and Yang will not let anyone deliberately target Shen Yue without any reason.

She didn't believe that Chen didn't do anything here, but she actually stabbed Shen Yue on purpose to deal with Yang. Damn it.

Sure enough, the old lady's eyes narrowed and she asked: "Yue'er was pricked by a needle? Are these people too careless in their work?"

Mrs. Chen said, "Who says it's not the case? If you ask me, that woman should be sold out."

There was a coldness in Su Qingyu's lowered eyes. It seemed that this was Chen's purpose.

The old lady turned around and asked Yang, "Has anyone been punished?"

Of these granddaughters, the one she loved and felt most distressed about was Shen Yue.

Upon hearing this, Yang immediately said, "I have already fined him. I have fined him three months' salary."

Mrs. Chen took out her silk handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her eyes twice.

"Mother doesn't know, but I really feel for Yue'er. That little arm is pricked red, and now that I think about it, my heart feels like a knife."

"It's just a fine of three months, which is too cheap for her."

When the old lady heard this, she agreed and said: "Your sister-in-law is right, the punishment is too light. I think she doesn't need to be the steward of the needlework. She should be sent to the village to do menial work."

Shen Zhixiu shook his head slightly, his mother was really old. If this matter had happened three years ago, she would have definitely seen the clues behind it.

After the old lady finished talking about what to do with the mother-in-law on the needlework, she remembered what Chen said about Su Qingyu.

He turned around and said to Chen with a straight face: "Shen Zhao's marriage has nothing to do with his third aunt's family affairs."

"If Prince Shanjun breaks off the engagement because of this matter, then let's break off the engagement."

This marriage was not settled in the first place, so it would be a good idea to just back it off.

Mrs. Chen was too frightened to say anything anymore. She was extremely satisfied with Shen Zhao's marriage, but she didn't want to cause trouble with the old lady.

Su Qingyu told the old lady about the details of today's court trial. Later, seeing that the old lady looked a little tired, they got up and left Qingyuan Residence.

"Third Master, you go back and do your work first. I'll go see Shen Yue."

She was still thinking about Shen Yue's arm and wanted to see how she was doing.

Shen Zhixiu whispered: "You are tired these two days, go sit for a while and then go back to rest."

Su Qingyu nodded to reassure him and took the servants to Yilanzhu where Shen Yue lived.

Yilanzhu is not far from Qingyuanju, separated by a garden and a waterside pavilion.

It doesn't look far, but it's a bit circuitous when walking. Su Qingyu was not in a hurry. The Shen family's house was designed by Master Jiangnan, and the gardens and waterside pavilions were all very beautiful.

Passing by the corridor beside the waterside pavilion, the master and servants all looked at the koi in the pond and walked even slower.

At the end of the corridor, turn right and there is a viewing pavilion. Turn left and go down the corridor, not far from Shen Yue's residence.

Just as he was about to reach the end of the corridor, he heard voices not far away.

"Miss, Mr. Zhang Xiaohou has sent something to Miss Third again. I just found out about it."

"This Shen Yue has already broken off the engagement and is still involved with the young Marquis. Does she still want to be shameless?"

Su Qingyu stopped and frowned.

Those who spoke should be Shen Ying and the maids beside her. She knew who they were talking about, Mr. Zhang Xiaohou. Zhang Pan, the Marquis of Xuanwu, was Shen Yue's former fiancé.

On the third day after the news of Shen Zhixiu's death, the Zhang family came to cancel the marriage. In her previous life, she remembered that Zhang Pan later married the daughter of the Langya Wang family, who was the niece of Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

Su Qingyu stood at the end of the corridor, wondering whether to wait a while before going over, or turn left and go directly to Shen Yue. Then she heard Shen Ying say, "Is my new dress ready? I'm going to Xuanwu Marquis's Mansion to attend the flower show in a few days."

"It's already done. The guy who worked on the needlework has just delivered it."

Then, the footsteps gradually faded away. Shen Ying should have gone back to try on clothes.

Su Qingyu then raised her steps and went to Yilanzhu. When she entered the yard, Shen Yue was sitting at the stone table in the yard, leaning her head and wondering what she was thinking.

"Miss, does Mr. Zhang Xiaohou regret breaking off the engagement? Otherwise, why would he give you such a precious thing?"

The speaker is Shen Yue's maid, named Qiutong.

As soon as Qiu Tong finished speaking, he saw Su Qingyu and hurriedly came forward with other servants in the yard to say hello.

"Hello, third lady."

Shen Yue also turned around and walked quickly to Su Qingyu.

"Sister Su... no, the third aunt is here, sit down quickly."

Su Qingyu looked across Shen Yue at the pear wood box on the table.

"Is this sent by Zhang Xiaohou? He has already broken off the engagement, and he still sends you something. What does he mean?"
