Shen Zhixiu thought about it seriously, "Maybe I should apologize first and settle the score later."

The apology was because she was afraid that Su Qingyu would be detrimental to the Su family and wanted to seek peace. The reason for settling the score is that Su Qingyu will definitely not agree, and Su Chengye will definitely become angry in the end.

This is also in line with the Su family's usual style.

Su Qingyu raised her eyebrows slightly and told the maid, "Please come in, Marquis Pingning."

The three of them were no longer in a hurry to eat, and went to the flower hall where they were waiting for guests. Lin Wanyin's lips tightened, and her brows looked impatient.

Not long after, Su Chengye walked in, followed by two servants carrying gift boxes.

Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu were juniors. They stood up and gave Su Chengye the junior salute and called their father.

Su Chengye said with a smile on his face, "You guys sit down, there is no need to be polite as a family."

Then he looked at Lin Wanyin and said, "These are the jewelry and some gadgets I specially picked for you. They are all your favorites."

Lin Wanyin said with a cold face, "Sit down, my lord. If you have something to say, just tell me."

After all, he was her daughter's biological father, so she suppressed her disgust and didn't kick him out directly.

Su Chengye rubbed his hands, pondered for a moment and said, "I'm here to apologize on behalf of my second brother. What happened before was his fault."

Lin Wanyin interrupted Su Chengye, "If he kills someone, can you die for him?"

"If you want to talk about this, Lord Marquis, please take it back. Take these things back too. As a merchant, I can't bear the courtesy of the Su family."

Su Chengye knew that Lin Wanyin would have this attitude. In fact, apologizing to Lin Wanyin was secondary. His main purpose of coming was to appease Su Qingyu.

He knew this daughter's temper. It was not impossible for her to cut off the Su family's wealth and dig up the Su family's ancestral graves.

So after receiving Lin Wanyin's cold face, Su Chengye looked at Su Qingyu again, "Qingyu, your second uncle knows that he is wrong, so don't be the same as him."

"Today he lost his official position and received a cane. He was punished."

Su Qingyu smiled lightly, "Does father still remember what I said yesterday?"

Su Chengye was startled, "What?"

"I said, if the Su family wants to get out of this matter, they will take action against the second uncle. As long as the Su family takes action, I will never touch a seedling or a copper plate in the Su family."

Before Su Chengye could speak, Su Qingyu said again: "According to the rules of the Su family, if the second uncle does such a thing, he must be whipped fifty times, right?"

"If the whip falls today, I guarantee that the Su family's business will be prosperous, the farm's harvest will be good, and our ancestors will sleep soundly."

After speaking, Su Qingyu picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Su Chengye's expression changed slightly, Su Chengyan had just received a cane from the palace. At this time, if you give me fifty lashes, you can go to your ancestors to apologize.

Even if he was willing to take action, his mother would not agree. The second brother is the lifeblood of the mother, and this family law cannot be touched.

He was angry at Su Qingyu for not even giving him the face of his father. He came to plead for mercy today. If he goes back after hitting a snag, what prestige and face will he have?

With this thought in mind, he began to lecture unconsciously.

"You are also a daughter of the Su family. He is your second uncle after all. Even if you don't care about us, you should think about your grandfather."

It was okay if he didn't say this, but when he said this, Su Qingyu became even more angry.

"My grandfather? Father has the nerve to mention my grandfather?"

"My grandfather was seriously ill before he died. How many days did he take care of him before he died? A month before my grandfather died, he was already seriously ill and could not get up. He even took a concubine into the mansion."

"After my grandfather passed away, did he observe filial piety seriously?"

"You think I'm young, don't you know? He drinks alcohol, eats meat, and hangs out with women. How can he do anything less?"

"If father cares about grandfather, he might as well just clean up the family. If grandfather knew about this, he would praise you for your loyalty and filial piety."

Su Qingyu's words made Su Chengye lose face. He couldn't make sense, so he could only use his seniority to suppress others.

"You...you are so presumptuous, do you still think of me as your father?"

Lin Wanyin suddenly laughed out loud, "If you don't want to be this dad, you don't have to be."

"Come here, send Marquis Pingning out. If he doesn't leave, beat him out."

"Throw all those things out to me."

Naturally, the servants around Lin Wanyin didn't dare to really kick the person out. Su Chengye didn't want to stay any longer, so he got up and left cursing.

The things they brought were also placed at the gate by Lin Wanyin's people.

After he left, Lin Wanyin looked at Shen Zhixiu sheepishly and said, "My virtuous son-in-law made a joke."

She didn't want to expose these troubles at home in front of her son-in-law. I'm afraid that these things will affect my daughter. But the more I think about it, the more it backfires.

From her divorce, to the lawsuit with the Su family, to this time going to the Qianyang Palace, all the shame that should be lost has been lost.

Shen Zhixiu said hurriedly: "Mother-in-law is worrying too much. In a family like ours, who doesn't have something to worry about?"

"It's all just superficial, even the royal family is like that."

When he said this, Lin Wanyin's expression improved a lot. Knowing that her son-in-law was afraid of embarrassing her, he saved her face.

The three of them had a simple lunch, and Shen Zhixiu suddenly got the news that Mr. Chen Ge had invited him to check in at the cabinet.

Su Qingyu asked him to go as she happened to have something to talk to Su Shunci.

After sending Shen Zhixiu away, Su Qingyu sent someone to the Su family's silk shop and called Su Shunci over.

After entering the courtyard, under the grape arbor in the small garden, Su Qingyu sat at the stone table and ordered people to prepare the cooled fruits.

After Su Shunci arrived, he went to greet Lin Wanyin first, and then came to Su Qingyu.

"My mother and eldest sister were suddenly brought into the palace, which made my third cousin and I very worried."

Su Shunci sat down opposite Su Qingyu, picked up a piece of melon and started to chew on it. It was a hot day and she had just become angry again. So when I ate the melon, I took two big bites.

Su Qingyu couldn't help laughing, "What's wrong? Does this melon have a grudge against you?"

Su Shunci finished chewing a piece of melon, threw the rind aside, and wiped the corners of her mouth.

"Eldest sister doesn't know that the great-aunt whom my father adopted has been really noisy recently."

Su Qingyu thought of the person she saw in the house before, "She seems to be restless. How dare she offend you?"

Su Shunci was holding her breath, but when Su Qingyu asked, she couldn't wait to talk.

"This man is really ambitious. He doesn't care about fighting for favor in the back house, but he also tries to step on my aunt from time to time."

"But every time she doesn't stand up for herself, she always looks for things to make my father scold my aunt."

"She was even more arrogant this morning. She actually sent someone to my house to get the materials, saying that her father would give her money later. Of course I didn't give her a good face. My father just went there and took the money to buy the materials back to the house."

"I think my father was also seduced out of his mind. Why did he bring such trouble into the house?"
