Cheng Rujin's face changed slightly. He wanted to get up, but was silenced by Su Qingyu's words.

Shen Zhao looked at Su Qingyu with some displeasure, "The heirs are important, Miss Su, don't force others to make things difficult for you."

Su Qingyu sneered, "Young Master Shen said this, I made her kneel down? She has to fulfill her filial piety herself, what does it have to do with me?"

"It's as if I harmed your Shen family's children."

Shen Zhao didn't know why. He came here for Su Qingyu, but when he saw her cold expression, he couldn't help but feel angry.

He spoke indiscriminately, with a sinister look in his eyes, "If you dare to harm the Shen family's children, I will never end it with you."

"Why are Shen Zhao here? Who do you want to hang out with?" Shen Zhixiu came over at some point, and as soon as he spoke, he gave people a full sense of oppression.

Before Su Qingyu could turn around, the man was already standing beside her. She lowered her head and saw the hem of his cloak fluttering in the cold wind.

Shen Zhao didn't expect Shen Zhixiu to come, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Well, third uncle."

Shen Zhixiu looked at him coldly, "Huh? Who are you going to end up with?"

Shen Zhao stood there with his hands down, silent for a long time under Shen Zhixiu's gaze.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Rujin stood up and walked to Shen Zhixiu, blessed his body and said softly.

"Greetings to my third uncle, please don't blame the eldest young master. He is here with me to offer incense to my mother."

"The eldest cousin asked me to kneel here and wanted me to fulfill my filial piety. The eldest young master was worried about the child in my belly, so he spoke in a hurry. Third uncle, please don't blame him."

Cheng Rujin spoke delicately and softly, with a pair of watery eyes filled with tears. The red lips were slightly pursed, and the whole person was like a weak willow supporting the wind, but also had a stubbornness that pretended to be strong.

Su Qingyu admired her from the bottom of her heart. With such a look, what man couldn't help but feel distressed?

She subconsciously turned to look at Shen Zhixiu, and saw Shen Zhixiu's disgusted eyes passing over Cheng Rujin.

Then he looked at Shen Zhao and asked coldly: "Are you mute? If I ask you, when will it be a concubine's turn to answer for you?"

Shen Zhao subconsciously raised his sleeves and wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.

"Third uncle...I...I said the wrong thing."

Shen Zhixiu hummed coldly and asked again: "You are accompanying your concubine to the funeral? Who taught you the rules?"

"It is already a taboo for a concubine to enter the house first. You dare to openly accompany a concubine to attend the funeral. What are you thinking? Are you going to learn from those foolish people to favor the concubine and abandon the wife?"

Shen Zhixiu's words were extremely sharp, and Shen Zhao's head hung lower and lower.

Cheng Rujin raised his eyes and couldn't move his eyes away from Shen Zhixiu. This was a man who stood upright. Compared with Shen Zhixiu, Shen Zhao is like a child who can't handle anything.

Only then did she realize that Shen Zhao, whom she had worked so hard to climb, was just the best scenery she could touch at the foot of the mountain. But Su Qingyu stood on the top of the mountain easily.

Why? Why could she still marry someone like Mr. Shen after she broke off the engagement?

In the past, she felt that Su Qingyu was just better than her in background, but now she realized that background was a gap that she could not overcome in her life.

"Third uncle, calm down. Anger is very harmful to your body." Cheng Rujin said softly again.

Shen Zhixiu frowned. A concubine had interrupted him again and again. Was the Shen family's rules meaningless?

Shen Zhao noticed Shen Zhixiu's coldness and instantly understood what was going on.

Snapped.

Shen Zhao turned around and gave Cheng Rujin a slap in the face, scolding: "Third uncle is talking, how can you interrupt?"

Cheng Rujin covered her face, timidly not daring to speak again.

Su Qingyu stood aside and watched with cold eyes, and naturally saw the way Cheng Rujin stared at Shen Zhixiu just now.

That look in her eyes made her extremely unhappy. After all, the person around her was also her future husband. How could she allow others to snore next to her bed? It’s not okay to worry about it.

Shen Zhao had already taught someone a lesson, so Su Qingyu didn't say anything more. She didn't like to make meaningless threats, it would be better to find a way to kill him with one strike.

Shen Zhixiu seemed to have sensed Su Qingyu's anger. He suddenly turned around and moved closer, saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "She's just a concubine. She can't cause any trouble. If you don't like it, I'll find a way to get her sent away."

Although as an uncle it was difficult for him to get involved in his nephew's room, if he wanted to, he could find countless ways to keep this person out of Su Qingyu's way.

The two were very close, and Shen Zhixiu's hot breath sprayed on Su Qingyu's ears as he spoke, and Su Qingyu's fair ears suddenly turned red.

A throbbing feeling passed through my heart, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Su Qingyu nodded subconsciously. From Shen Zhixiu's perspective, she happened to see her long eyelashes drooping and her eyes sparkling.

While Shen Zhixiu was looking at Su Qingyu in a daze, Shen Zhao said, "Third uncle, please forgive me. My nephew will take her back home right now."

Shen Zhixiu came back to his senses, hummed perfunctorily, thought for a while and then said: "Go to the ancestral hall and kneel on your own, and then get up when you think about it."

Shen Zhao hurriedly said: "Yes, my nephew has remembered it."

He couldn't bear to resist at all against this third uncle. It was a deep fear engraved in my bones since I was a child.

After Shen Zhao left, Su Chengye, who had been standing aside for a long time, cautiously said, "Master Shen... why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

He struggled for a long time before he managed to say a sentence, Mr. Shen.

I originally wanted to call Mrs. Shen Ge, but then I thought about the relationship between the two of them now as son-in-law, so I called Mrs. Ge more respectfully.

He wanted to call Sheng Zhixiu, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back, and finally called Master Shen.

He just heard Shen Zhixiu teach his nephew a lesson, and he felt guilty inexplicably. Especially the sentence about pampering a concubine and destroying a wife, as if it was said to him deliberately.

So at this time, Su Chengye subconsciously stood aside respectfully. For those who don’t know, I’m afraid they can’t tell who is the father-in-law and who is the son-in-law.

Shen Zhixiu said: "As ordered by my mother, I sent Miss Su some snacks made at home."

Su Qingyu was stunned, and then she saw Wen Zhu, who was following behind, holding two exquisite red lacquered wooden boxes.

Then Shen Zhixiu said again: "I have a few words to tell you, is it convenient?"

"Then go to the small study next to it." Su Qingyu replied.

When Su Chengye saw this, he also said, "You guys chat, I won't be with you if I have something else to do."

Shen Zhixiu nodded, "Please give me your permission, Lord Su."

The two went to the small study room where Su Qingyu usually read the account books. Pearl, Jade and Asparagus were all guarding outside.

After entering, Shen Zhixiu handed over the box of snacks and said, "They are all your favorites, especially the osmanthus cake inside. It is made from the osmanthus honey that my mother brewed last year and just opened the jar."

Su Qingyu thought of the snacks on the carriage that day and blurted out: "How does the third master know what I like to eat?"
