Even if the Shen family valued Su Qingyu when they hired her, it would not change the fact that she married a dead man. Su Chengye didn't think this daughter had any use.

In contrast, Su Yihui, who still wants to marry into the Xu family, is more likely to bring help to the family.

Su Qingyu stopped, but did not look back. She just said coldly: "I want to go back and see my maid. Father, please also go see the third sister. It would be bad if the scar affects the marriage."

After saying that, she left without looking back.

In the wing room where His Excellency Bishui lived, Agate was half leaning on Pearl's shoulder, taking a sip of medicine.

Seeing Su Qingyu come in, Agate and Pearl wanted to stand up and salute, but she stopped them.

"Don't move. Just drink the medicine. Does your body still hurt?"

At this time, Agate was wearing thin pajamas, and the charcoal basin was lit in the room, but it was not cold.

Listening to Su Qingyu's question, Agate smiled and replied: "It doesn't hurt anymore, miss, don't worry about it. I have rough skin and thick flesh, so I will heal quickly."

Su Qingyu looked at Agate with complicated emotions. In her previous life, she almost died under Agate's dagger, and in this life Agate was whipped for her again.

One thing is worth another thing. Are they considered to be in peace?

When Manao saw Su Qingyu staring at her in a daze, he thought she was still worried, so he comforted her: "Miss, don't worry, this is what I should do. The third young master told me to protect the lady."

Su Qingyu felt a wry smile in her heart, her third cousin would really give her away. The two people who were sent here were all focused on him. What was this?

She retracted her thoughts and said to Agate: "Don't go to the fields these days, take good care of her." Then she said to Pearl: "Find two reliable little maids to take care of her food, clothing and daily life. Make sure to take good care of her and don't leave any roots of disease."

Agate was a little anxious, "No, I have to protect the lady personally."

Su Qingyu consoled her: "I don't go out much these days, and Jade will be back soon."

The three masters and servants were talking when Amber suddenly hurriedly opened the curtain and came in.

While rubbing his hands and blowing out two puffs of hot air, he said, "Miss, there's news from Furong Garden that the third young lady has a fever and keeps talking nonsense."

Su Qingyu thought of Duke Wei's whip, and her heart became clear. He also received a whip, but Duke Wei was a military commander and his strength was not comparable to that of Su Chengye. Coupled with the fact that Su Yihui was spoiled and very angry, it might be serious.

She hummed lightly and said, "Let me know when you die, and I will personally preside over the funeral ceremony. I will definitely give her a grand burial."

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Father is in Furong Garden?"

Hu Bo shook his head and said, "Master Hou went to Shaohua Hall."

Su Qingyu sneered. His daughter was seriously ill and he was still thinking about Gu Ruoyun. It seemed that her father was not only cold-blooded to her.

In this matter, Su Qingyu misunderstood Su Chengye. Su Chengye had already walked to the gate of Furong Garden, but was invited to Shaohua Hall by Gu Ruoyun's maid, saying that Madam Yun had something important to say.

Unsure of what was going on, Su Chengye went to Furong Garden again. When he entered, Gu Ruoyun had prepared wine and food and was waiting for him.

"Master Marquis is here? Sit down quickly. These dishes are all made by me. They are your favorite dishes."

"I've heard everything that happened before. Don't get so angry, Lord Marquis."

Gu Ruoyun naturally stepped forward and took off Su Chengye's cloak, and when he sat down, he stood behind and gently rubbed his head.

There is a reason why Su Chengye likes Gu Ruoyun. He is not only gentle but also very considerate.

She is not as tough-tempered as Mrs. Lin, nor is she as Aunt Xue who only knows how to act coquettishly but does not know how to look at her face, nor is she as boring as Aunt Lian.

Coupled with their childhood friendship, they have two more children. So in Su Chengye's heart, Gu Ruoyun was his wife, the wife who could talk to him from the bottom of his heart.

He squinted his eyes slightly, leaned his head on Gu Ruoyun, and relaxed his whole body.

While Gu Ruoyun was massaging him gently, he said: "Master Hou, now the family relies on the eldest daughter for food, drink, and urination, and it won't be a problem if it continues like this. Seeing that the eldest daughter is becoming less and less considerate of others, what can I say? It’s ugly, from now on we have to kneel down to eat?”

Su Chengye thought of Su Qingyu's behavior these days, and a feeling of hostility surged around him unconsciously.

"Just wait until she gets married. My wife is pregnant, and then you will take over the family's property."

Gu Ruoyun didn't feel very happy when he heard what Su Chengye said. Su Chengye had said this countless times without success.

She persuaded in a low voice: "Master Marquis, the eldest lady will not let go easily. I am afraid that she would rather destroy the shop than give it to us."

"I have an idea that can solve these problems once and for all."

Su Chengye turned around and grabbed Gu Ruoyun's hand, opened his eyes and asked, "What's your idea? Come, sit down, let's talk while we eat."

Gu Ruoyun turned around and sat aside. She first served Su Chengye a bowl of soup before she spoke: "My Lord, do you still remember the Cheng family's former steward Zhou Bu Ren? He is now doing medicinal materials business in the capital. He has always wanted to open a grain store, but he has no way to do it."

"He came to me in the past two days and said that he wanted Mr. Hou to help connect with grain merchants in Jiangnan. He would provide the money, and our family would earn half the money because of the connections."

When Su Chengye heard the name Zhou Bu Ren, his expression suddenly changed. "Didn't you say that Butler Zhou had been dealt with? Why did he come to the capital? He knows a lot about us."

Seeing that he was anxious, Gu Ruoyun quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, we are just grasshoppers on a rope. Can he still report you? Reporting you is equivalent to reporting himself. He was involved in everything that happened back then." .”

Gu Ruoyun persuaded Su Chengye for a long time before dispelling his doubts.

"Master Marquis, you only need to write two letters to the grain merchants you are familiar with in the south of the Yangtze River, and this matter will be settled. You are a third-rank minister of household affairs, how can those grain merchants not give you face?"

Su Chengye thought about this matter in his mind. He, a third-rank Minister of Household Affairs, was indeed nothing in the capital, but in the eyes of Jiangnan grain merchants, he was a very important official.

If you only need to write two letters to connect Zhou Buren, this is fine.

"Why didn't he contact the Jiangnan grain merchants himself?" Su Chengye asked.

Gu Ruoyun smiled sweetly and picked up a piece of food for Su Chengye. Then she explained, "Now the grain in Northern Zhili has been monopolized by the Lin family, the Shang family, and the Fang family. He asked the grain merchants in Jiangnan, but they ignored him."

"The other side is like a mountain. If he wants to buy and sell grain, he has to rely on you to show him the way."

"We don't need to compete with those imperial merchants. We just need to replace the Su family's grain stores. I have already thought of a way."

Seeing that Su Chengye was still pondering, Gu Ruoyun stood up and sat in Su Chengye's arms, wrapping his arms around his neck.

"Master Marquis, don't think about it. Send the letter today. It won't take long for us to make money. Then we don't have to look at the faces of the madam and the eldest lady. I have had enough of relying on others."
