A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min
Chapter 173 Do you believe me?
Su Qingyu froze in her chair when she heard this. Did he ask Shen Zhixiu to do it? Couldn't it be that Shen Zhixiu could tell what was going on with just a glance?
She then remembered that Shen Zhixiu was talking to her on the carriage back home and specifically mentioned Shen Zhao's injury.
Recalling the scene at that time, she suddenly realized that Shen Zhixiu's words seemed to be a test.
Lin Wuchen was still teasing her, "The person who made these sleeve arrows used to be a weapon maker in the Ministry of Industry. If you want these little things, just go back and ask your husband."
After he finished his teasing words, he realized that Su Qingyu was dazed, with some panic in her eyes.
Lin Wuchen stood up and walked around the desk, walked to Su Qingyu, and asked softly: "What's wrong? But is there anything else?"
Su Qingyu stood up and said, "Cousin, I still have something to do at home, so I'll go back first."
She couldn't wait to go back to find Shen Zhixiu, he should have already suspected it.
On the way back home, Su Qingyu looked troubled. She was thinking about how to explain so that Shen Zhixiu could understand what she was doing.
She couldn't talk about death and rebirth, and she didn't dare to talk about it. But she didn't want to lie to him openly. She could not tell him some things, but she couldn't lie to him.
Su Qingyu still hadn't figured out what was going on until the carriage entered the yard.
"Madam is back, the Third Master is back and is taking a bath and changing his clothes." Chuntao, who was guarding the door of the inner room, reported in a low voice.
Su Qingyu was startled. She was planning to change her clothes and then go to the study to find Shen Zhixiu, but he came back first.
Chuntao gently opened the door, and Su Qingyu stepped in.
The sound of running water came from the bathroom behind. On the crossbar in the inner room was the brocade robe that Shen Zhixiu took off. Because it was not hung properly, it was about to fall to the ground.
Su Qingyu stepped forward and picked it up, feeling a sudden tingling sensation in her fingertips.
"what."
She subconsciously screamed, and then she saw that there were silver needles pinned to the cuffs of his brocade robe.
Su Qingyu's eyes flashed and she recognized the silver needle in her sleeve. A few of them must have entered Shen Zhao's shoulders, and the one on the edge fell to the ground.
The index finger of her right hand was pricked with blood. Just as Su Qingyu was looking for something to wipe it with, her hand was grabbed by Shen Zhixiu.
"Pricked? Blame me, I forgot to take off the silver needle."
"Does it hurt?"
He rushed out after hearing the screams, with a piece of pajamas thrown haphazardly over his body, and water droplets slid down his cheeks and onto his chest.
Shen Zhixiu pinched her fingers distressedly and took a clean cotton towel to gently wipe the blood on the wound.
Fortunately, the puncture was not deep and there was no further bleeding.
Shen Zhixiu saw Su Qingyu looking at the silver needles on the ground, then stretched out his hand to rub her head, and said softly: "I'll go in and wipe it clean and change clothes. You rest first, I'll be out in a while."
When Shen Zhixiu turned around and went in, Su Qingyu bent down to pick up the clothes that had fallen to the ground, then picked up the silver needles on the ground and put them on the Kang table in the banquet room.
Not long after, Shen Zhixiu changed into his regular clothes, walked out of the bathroom, and sat down opposite Su Qingyu.
"Third Master, do you have something to ask me?" Su Qingyu asked softly, her jasper-like fingers subconsciously rubbing the lines of the celadon tea cup.
When Shen Zhixiu saw her coming back from outside, his expression became tense. Thinking of the silver needle just now, he suddenly asked.
"Where were you just now?"
"I went to Lin's Trading Company to give something to my third cousin."
Shen Zhixiu had a vague guess in her heart. She should know the origin of the sleeve arrow. Seeing Su Qingyu looking like she was waiting for him to attack her, she couldn't help but feel sad.
He stood up and walked behind Su Qingyu. He leaned forward slightly and hugged her, resting his chin on her shoulder.
"Qingqing, I have something to ask you."
Su Qingyu was a little confused when she noticed the aura of the person behind her. She wanted to kill his nephew, shouldn't he get angry and question her? Why did you take the initiative to hug her?
"Do you and Shen Zhao still have some entanglements that I don't know about? Has he done anything unethical?"
"Is it the time when I went to the Northwest? What did he do in private?"
After returning from Guangfulou, Shen Zhixiu kept wondering why Su Qingyu tied the hidden arrow to Cheng Rujin. The best explanation is that she firmly believed that Shen Zhao was involved and wanted to kill Shen Zhao through Cheng Rujin.
Shen Zhixiu recalled the day when he came back from the northwest and went to Huguo Temple. It seemed that the look in Su Qingyu's eyes when she looked at Shen Zhao was already filled with hatred. Based on his understanding of Su Qingyu, simply running into Shen Zhao and Cheng Rujin would not make her like this.
He thought about it, always feeling that there was something he didn't know. In other words, Shen Zhao did something to make Su Qingyu hate him, and the two of them formed a deadly feud without his knowledge.
Su Qingyu was a little surprised, he had guessed it.
She knew that with Shen Zhixiu's thoughts, she would find clues sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
Su Qingyu turned her head slightly, looked at his side face, and asked in a quiet voice: "Third Master, do you believe me?"
Shen Zhixiu leaned over, held her face in his hands, and they looked into each other's eyes.
"Believe, I believe whatever you say."
Su Qingyu stared at him with her gleaming eyes, trying to see clearly what he was thinking deep inside.
"Shen Zhao and I... have a mortal feud that cannot be resolved."
"He didn't intend to hold back against me. If I hadn't responded this time, the rumor that the Third Madam of the Shen family had a secret meeting with her nephew would have spread throughout the capital."
"He risked his own face and dragged me into the abyss."
"He picked it all off himself, but I know he was the mastermind behind the scenes. But it was Cheng Rujin who made Li Chaoyun's visit to Guangfu Tower on his own initiative."
The moment she walked in, she figured it out, and she would say whatever she could.
If they were just a couple who shared the same bed but had different dreams, she could say nothing. Just be a decent Mrs. Shen and live your own life. But Shen Zhixiu loved her to the core.
She couldn't tell him a lie, and she couldn't say it out loud.
Shen Zhixiu's eyes showed a strong look of distress, and he reached out to hold Su Qingyu in his chest.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Tell me what he did, and I'll make the decision for you."
Su Qingyu's cold side face was pressed against his chest, "He wanted my life to let Cheng Rujin enter the Shen family."
"I survived a catastrophe and survived a desperate situation."
She shook her head again, "I don't need you to make the decision for me, you just need to believe what I say."
"He is the eldest grandson of the Shen family. Do you...do you want me to let him go?"
This is what Su Qingyu is most worried about. She is afraid that Shen Zhixiu will let her resolve her grudge with Shen Zhao for his sake.
