It has been nearly twenty years since Mrs. Lin married into the Su family and spent twenty years in this inner house. She wanted to go out more than anyone else. The thought of leaving the Su family made her feel excited and happy.

But she couldn't ignore her daughter and her family for the rest of her life. Reconciliation is not a trivial matter. What if her daughter is looked down upon by her husband's family and her mother's family is ridiculed because of her reconciliation?

She is no longer the free and easy girl from the Lin family.

As a close friend, Su Qingyu could see through Lin's inner thoughts at a glance. In addition to feeling distressed, I still feel distressed. Twenty years of time have been wasted in this inner house, how many more twenty years of life can be wasted?

Su Qingyu and Lin clasped their fingers together and said softly: "Mom, don't think so much. If uncle knew what your life was like in the Hou Mansion, he would also support it."

"As for the Shen family...mother, don't worry. Whether I can gain a foothold in the Shen family depends on my ability."

She didn't know why, but she just felt that Shen Zhixiu wouldn't care about this.

Ms. Lin was a little moved and said in deep thought: "I'll think about it again. Let's wait until you get married to talk about this matter. Mother will marry my daughter off in a glorious way."

Su Qingyu tilted her head on Mrs. Lin's shoulder, "Then let me think about it again. Anyway, I don't want my mother to be wronged."

As for her unrecovered brother, Su Qingyu believed that even if she got married, she would still be able to contain the Hou Mansion.

In the worst case, the elder brother will inherit the title and drive the confused father to live in the village, while the mother will still be the head lady.

When mother and daughter were leaning against each other, Feicui suddenly stood at the door of the banquet room and winked at Su Qingyu.

Su Qingyu nodded slightly towards Jade, then stood up and said to Mrs. Lin: "I'm going back to do my sewing first. Mother must think carefully about what I said."

Mrs. Lin smiled and said: "Okay, Mom must think about it carefully. You should go back quickly."

On the way back to Bishui Pavilion from Ziwei Garden, Jade whispered: "Miss, the young master is back, and he really brought two buckets."

"I spent some money and quietly asked the boy next to the eldest young master. He said that the eldest young master fell asleep and called him up at the beginning of Haishi."

Su Qingyu stopped and ordered: "Find a way to steal those two buckets before they are discovered."

Jade said yes and turned around to do some work.

Su Qingyu took Pearl back to Bishui Pavilion. Not long after, Jade and Agate walked in with a kettle each.

Su Qingyu took the kettle and looked at it. It was thinner and longer than the buckets she usually saw. There are handles on the side, and it can also be worn diagonally across the body.

At this time, the kettle was already full of water. Su Qingyu told Feicui to pour out the water first, then fix one end of the fire starter to the lid of the bucket, and fix the bottom of the fire starter to the inner wall of the bucket.

In this way, as soon as you open the lid of the bucket, the flames of the fire will be exposed.

The master and servants worked hard for almost half an hour before they got both barrels ready.

Jade frowned and asked: "Miss, although this can expose the fire, it still needs to be filled with water. Then won't it all be doused out by then?"

Su Qingyu said: "No water, just kerosene."

The place where the Xu family decorates fireworks is in the suburbs of Beijing. There are no people living around it, and they are not afraid of hurting innocent people. After the kerosene is put in, the carrying state is no different from that of water. As long as Su Yuankai didn't open it and look, he would definitely not be able to find it.

Following Su Qingyu's instructions, Jade and Agate took the buckets out to fill up the kerosene, and then sent the things back to Su Yuankai.

At night, it's time to go to bed. Su Qingyu stood in front of the window in her pajamas, looking towards the outskirts of Beijing.

She silently counted the hours in her mind, clasping her hands together nervously and expectantly.

Pearl and Jade looked at each other, unable to guess what she was looking at. Outside was the front yard of the Bishui Pavilion, where the young lady had been looking all night.

"Miss, do you want to go rest first?" Pearl stepped forward to persuade her.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard several loud bangs.

Immediately afterwards, flames suddenly burst into the sky in the direction of the suburbs of Beijing. The next moment, countless fireworks shot into the sky.

A smile appeared on Su Qingyu's lips and she murmured in a low voice, "It's so beautiful."

Pearl and Jade were also attracted by the dazzling colors in the sky. Jade turned to ask Su Qingyu, "How did the lady know that there were fireworks going off in Beijing today?"

Then he muttered suspiciously, "The Emperor's Longevity Festival is five days away. Why are we setting off fireworks at this time?"

Su Qingyu smiled and said nothing. It seemed that the plan was done, and what happened next was up to Shen Zhixiu.

I don't know if Mr. Shen is satisfied with the gift she gave him.

At this time, in the west courtyard of the Shen family, Shen Zhixiu stood at the door, wearing a mink cloak, watching the fireworks and firelight in the suburbs of Beijing.

"Wenzhu, prepare the car, I'm going to see the teacher." Shen Zhixiu said in a deep voice.

He didn't know how Su Qingyu did it, but today's matter was indeed an excellent opportunity.

All night long, the lights in Mr. Chen Ge's study were brightly lit. A sealed letter was sent to various mansions in the capital.

When it was time for the court meeting, Shen Zhixiu changed into court clothes at Chen's house and entered the palace in a carriage.

Su Qingyu was awakened by a knock on the door at the beginning of Mao Shi.

When she sat up, Pearl had already lit the lamp, put on her clothes and went out to see.

Not long after, the sound outside became weaker, and Pearl hurriedly walked in.

"Miss, something happened. It was Aunt Xue who was clamoring to see you just now and wanted to ask for your help."

"What's wrong?" Su Qingyu had some vague guesses in her heart, but she didn't know what exactly happened in the suburbs of Beijing.

Jade said: "Aunt Xue said that the eldest young master was seriously injured and was imprisoned by people from the Criminal Department."

"She would like you to ask the third master for a favor and ask if the eldest young master can be released and go home to recover from his injuries."

Su Qingyu said thoughtfully: "Please change my clothes and I'll go out and take a look."

I just took this opportunity to go out and see where things were going. Shen Zhixiu should go to court at this hour, and he doesn't know what will happen to the Xu family in the end.

But no matter what, she made the right move by Su Yuankai.

By the time Su Qingyu changed her clothes, put on her makeup and went out, it was already quarter of an hour later.

Aunt Xue was waiting anxiously outside the Bishui Pavilion. When she saw Su Qingyu coming out, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss, you must help your elder brother. He has suffered a serious crime this time."

Su Qingyu frowned and asked, "What happened? My mind is still confused. Can Auntie explain it clearly?"

Aunt Xue was already impatient, and because she didn’t know much, her words didn’t match her words. After talking for a long time, there was no useful word.

Just when Su Qingyu's patience ran out, Zhichun from Songhetang hurried over.

"Miss, the old lady invites you to come to Songhe Hall to speak."
