Even though I asked him, there was a bit more certainty in his tone.

Shen Zhixiu sat down at the kang table opposite Su Qingyu and said with a smile: "I can't hide anything from you, so we can just talk about this."

Su Qingyu thought about it for a while, but instead of saying no, she asked him, "What do you think, third master?"

Shen Zhixiu was a little surprised, "I thought you would tell me no directly." After all, she had told him breathlessly last night that she was going to help her mother-in-law manage the business.

Su Qingyu raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Third Master didn't say no for me, he just had other intentions. I always have to listen to what Third Master said before I can decide whether to accept or reject."

Shen Zhixiu shook his head slightly. When he and Su Qingyu talked about business, he always had the illusion of discussing political affairs with his colleagues.

"Qingqing, I need you to help me stabilize the Shen family's inner house." Shen Zhixiu said this with a serious look on his face.

Su Qingyu's eyebrows moved slightly, "Oh? What should I say?"

The two sat opposite each other on the big Kang by the window, with a square nanmu table between them.

Shen Zhixiu subconsciously rubbed the old sandalwood beads in his hand and said quietly.

"I joined the official position at the age of eighteen and the cabinet at the age of twenty-six. This is the year I truly reach a high position and can do what I want to do."

"The Shen family is now like a towering tree. Countless people look up to it, and countless people want to enjoy the shade under this tree."

"But if the Shen family doesn't control it anymore, I'm afraid it will be ruined inside."

"During the time when I was pretending to be dead, you should have heard that the two families were quarreling over profit."

"Qingqing, I need you to help me tidy up my inner house so that I can be distracted in the court."

An unstable home is the beginning of trouble for the family. Just like Mr. Xu Ge, an incompetent grandson almost ruined the whole family with a firework.

Su Qingyu pondered for a long time and said nothing.

Just when Shen Zhixiu thought she was going to refuse, she spoke.

"Third Master, I can take over the stewardship of the house. But if I am cruel, don't regret it."

Both emotionally and rationally, she should agree to Shen Zhixiu. If nothing else, just for what Shen Zhixiu had done for her before, she should also do this for him. Moreover, if she wanted to sway Shen Zhao, taking over the stewardship would be more effective.

After her rebirth, Su Qingyu was used to weighing the pros and cons of everything quickly. So in this short while, she had already made a decision and even started to think about what to do next.

Shen Zhixiu didn't expect her to agree so easily. He thought she would be obsessed with leaving the house to help her mother.

"How ruthless is Madam? Listen to my husband." Shen Zhixiu said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Su Qingyu looked serious and said.

"In troubled times, the third master should understand this truth. In the past few years, the two sisters-in-law have been fighting openly and secretly, and the servants have also become impetuous."

"If I am too strict and touch someone who shouldn't be touched, Third Master, please don't blame me for being harsh."

"And the ladies and gentlemen at home, if they break my rules, I won't show mercy."

Shen Zhixiu immediately made his promise, "That's natural. Your housekeeper will naturally listen to you."

After thinking for a while, he asked her again, "Do you need me to check for you, who are those housekeepers?"

Su Qingyu shook her head, with absolute confidence and cruelty in her eyes.

"No need, and there is no time. No matter whose people you are, they can only be mine in the end."

Since she was asked to take care of the house, she had to solve the Shen family's mess at once.

Shen Zhixiu took a deep breath and held Su Qingyu's hand on the nanmu square table.

"Qingqing, you don't have to shoulder the internal affairs by yourself. If someone dares to deliberately find trouble, you try your best to deal with it. If you can't deal with it, come to me."

Su Qingyu was full of fighting spirit. She knew the inner house of the Shen family like the back of her hand. If she still couldn't kill everyone, then her rebirth was useless.

Yes, she was going to kill everyone in the inner house of the Shen family. For Shen Zhixiu, she couldn't be soft-hearted.

Su Qingyu thought of Shen Zhao again and spoke.

"Third Master, when I was returning to the West Courtyard today, Shen Zhao blocked my way."

"He seems to have known about it. You met me in the mansion when you faked your death."

"I warned him, but I don't know if he listened. If this matter gets out, I'm afraid it will be another trouble."

Shen Zhixiu's expression turned cold when he heard this, "What did he tell you?"

Su Qingyu then said carefully what Shen Zhao said, especially those words involving Shen Zhixiu's presence in the mansion at that time.

After hearing this, Shen Zhixiu's face showed sullenness. Seeing that Su Qingyu was still looking at him worriedly, he comforted him: "Don't worry, I'm not afraid if he tells her."

"On the second day after the fall of the Xu family, I told the emperor about faking his death in the northwest. This matter has been cleared up by the emperor, and I am not afraid of anyone impeaching me."

Then he talked about his plans for Shen Zhao.

"Before he gets married, I won't touch him. After he gets married, I will tell him and Li Chaoyun to stay away."

Shen Zhixiu had already thought about this, and telling Su Qingyu now was to reassure her.

Su Qingyu nodded and said nothing more. Shen Zhixiu was Shen Zhao's uncle and didn't know that she hated Shen Zhao. This decision was the biggest concession for her.

She never looked to others for revenge. It doesn’t matter if it’s one year or ten years. As long as she wanted to, she could always send those people to hell.

In the afternoon of the next day, Shen Zhixiu and Su Qingyu went to Qingyuan Residence to pay their respects.

The old lady looked at Shen Zhixiu in surprise, "Aren't you supposed to be busy in the cabinet at this time?"

Shen Zhixiu smiled and said, "There's nothing much to do these two days, so it's okay if I don't go."

The old lady looked at him inquiringly. Didn't she say yesterday that the cabinet was too busy these days?

Although he was a little suspicious, he did not continue to ask.

Seeing that Shen Zhiheng and Shen Zhishu had also arrived, the old lady started talking about business.

"My second daughter-in-law has been suffering from severe headaches these days, and she can no longer take care of the affairs of the house."

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she looked happy. Does the old lady want to return the housekeeping rights to her? I'm afraid that I don't understand why I have such a severe headache and it's making the old lady unhappy.

The old lady looked around at everyone and continued.

"I thought about it yesterday. The third daughter-in-law was a good steward of the house in her parents' family. I will leave the housekeeping power in her hands for the time being."

"Second daughter-in-law, you will hand over the account books and seals to your third younger sister today. Everything that needs to be explained should be clearly explained."

"In addition, please give instructions to the servants. From now on, everything will be done according to the instructions of the third lady."

Yang said respectfully: "Yes, mother."

Mrs. Chen froze in her chair. Has the housekeeping power been given to Su Qingyu?

"Mother, the third brother and sister are still young, so I'm afraid they won't be able to intimidate the servants," Ms. Chen said.

The old lady's face darkened, "No matter how young she is, she is still the third wife of the Shen family. What can't be deterred? Those servants who bully their superiors and refuse to obey will be sold to me."

When Mrs. Chen saw that the old lady was angry, she did not dare to say anything more. But no matter how you look at it, your face shows dissatisfaction.

Seeing that the old lady had finished speaking, Shen Zhixiu coughed slightly and said.

"Now that we have talked about it today, I will say a few more words."

Shen Zhixiu's next words made all three generations of the Shen family hold their breaths and look solemn.
