Chapter 207 Wedding Gift
Su Hanchu looked at Ping'er who was talking excitedly, and reached out to push the pastries in front of the two of them.
"Don't be in a hurry. Take your time. You must be very hungry after traveling all this time. Eat some cakes first. The kitchen will prepare the food soon."
Ping'er picked up a piece of cake.
"Miss, I'm not really hungry, just a little tired. In order to get back, I took the second young lady back on horseback. Finally, we got back before the New Year."
Su Hanzhi was also eating pastries with a smile on her face, and her words were a little unclear.
"Sister, I just realized how exciting horse riding is. I want to learn how to ride a horse in the future so that when I'm in a hurry, I can ride alone."
Su Hanchu looked at the two of them with a smile on his face. He felt that he now had a right-hand man. Thinking that Li Xiao would be back for a few days during the New Year, Su Hanchu couldn't help but joked.
"Okay, wait until Li Xiao comes back and let him teach you well."
When Su Hanzhi mentioned Li Xiao, her face suddenly turned shy.
"elder sister."
Ping'er was even more accustomed to playing around with Su Hanzhi this time, so she started joking too.
"That's right. Although my riding skills are decent, they're definitely not as good as your fiancé, Li Xiao. Let him teach you well. Who knows, maybe you'll be better at riding than me in the future?"
When Su Hanzhi saw Ping'er teasing her like that, her face turned red and she reached out to tickle Ping'er.
"Well, you actually dare to tease me. How dare you say that? I've seen it several times. Liu Shan's eyes are almost glued to you."
Su Hanchu's mood improved as he watched the two of them laughing and playing. When they had played enough, the maid brought them food.
After the two of them had eaten their fill, Su Hanchu ordered someone to bring them some flower tea.
“Okay, now that you’ve eaten and drunk enough, I think you two are still quite energetic. Now we can talk about Shen Luoxue.”
After hearing this, Su Hanzhi looked at Su Hanchu's indifferent expression.
"Sister, do you want to know or not?"
Su Hanchu looked at her calmly.
"I'm not in a hurry. I still believe in your ability to do things. However, Shen Luoxue is getting married. As the Jun family is on good terms with the Shen family, we still need to prepare a small gift."
Ping'er became interested again after teasing Shen Luoxue.
"Madam, let me tell you, that scholar and his cousin are already pregnant, but he despises his cousin's family because they have no influence, so he wants to quickly marry someone to cover up the scandal. Isn't Shen Luoxue just rushing to be someone's concubine? Then let her experience the taste of fighting a concubine.
I've inquired about it. This scholar's cousin is deeply loved by the scholar's mother. Tsk tsk tsk, once Shen Luoxue marries, her husband will be attracted by her dowry and family background. Her mother-in-law will not like her, and the concubine has her means. In this life, if she wants to have extra time to think about other people's husbands, it is impossible. "
Su Han asked after hearing this.
"Did the Lingchang Shen family not notice anything?"
Su Hanzhi spoke.
"Don't worry, sister. When the Shen family spread the news that they wanted to choose a husband for the eldest daughter of the Northwest Prefecture, regardless of family background, only considering character, the Sun family came to us. Of course, it wasn't just the Sun family that came.
We checked all the people who came to the Shen family to propose marriage, and after we determined that Sun Xiucai was the most suitable for Shen Luoxue, we exposed the scandals of the other families. In the end, the Shen family naturally felt that Sun Xiucai was the most outstanding, and then the marriage was naturally completed. "
Su Hanchu pursed her lips and smiled.
“I’m afraid Shen Luoxue is also unwilling in her heart.”
Ping'er spoke disapprovingly from the side.
"It's natural to be unwilling. When has she ever been willing? Every day, she is ambitiously thinking about someone else's husband. It's a pity that nothing in this world goes as one wishes.
Our people have already established themselves in Lingchang. As soon as she leaves Lingchang, I will know immediately and deal with her at that time. She is just an idiot who uses despicable means. She is not worthy of your concern. Madam, you can rest assured and take care of your pregnancy. As for the small gift for Shen Luoxue, I have prepared it for you and will give it to her on her wedding day.
Su Hanchu became interested when he heard it.
"Looking at you, it should be more than just a small gift."
Su Hanzhi spoke while drinking tea.
"She's the eldest daughter of the state government, so naturally, it's impossible for her to really give Bo a gift. Did Shen Luoxue rush to be a concubine for her brother-in-law before? Then let her know what it feels like to be disgusted by a concubine."
Su Hanchu made a rough guess.
"Are you planning to let her drink concubine tea on her wedding day?"
Su Hanzhi spoke quickly after hearing this.
“Sister is wise, our people are already familiar with Sun Xiucai’s cousin, and are just waiting for the day when Shen Luoxue gets married.”
Su Hanchu nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. With these two people around, he would have much less to worry about.
"What does Shen Luoyun think about this matter? Will he have any objections?"
Ping'er put down the teacup.
“Madam, please rest assured about this. Along the way, we have communicated a lot with Miss Shen Er. After all, Miss Shen Er is a concubine’s daughter. It has not been easy for her and Concubine Liu to make a living under Madam Shen’s command over the years.
Moreover, although Mrs. Shen looks sensible, she is actually an intolerant person at heart. Look at the Shen family, they have several daughters, but the Shenzhou Mansion only has one son, born to Mrs. Shen.
A few years ago, Concubine Liu finally had a child. It was said that the doctor in Chenzhou Prefecture had checked and said that it would be a boy. For this reason, Chenzhou Prefecture gave Concubine Liu a lot of gifts, and even Miss Shen Er benefited from it. However, Concubine Liu fell when she was seven months pregnant.
In the end, she gave birth to a stillborn baby, and her body was severely damaged. She has been bedridden ever since. The Second Miss said she checked and found that the eldest Miss happened to pass by on the road where Concubine Liu was walking, and she bought a bottle of osmanthus oil.
Su Han suddenly understood after hearing this. No wonder Shen Luoyun expressed his intention to help him deal with Shen Luoxue from the beginning.
"So these two sisters have such a grudge for killing their brother."
Su Hanzhi echoed from the side.
“Yes, we were all surprised when we heard what Miss Shen said. We didn’t expect that Shen Luoxue could be so vicious. You know, a few years ago, she was just a child in her early teens.”
Several people here were chatting animatedly.
Snow Garden in Lingchang.
Shen Luoyun looked at the account book. There were two copies of it, one for Su Hanchu and one for himself. He held a 10% stake in Yue Manting and Mushroom House, so he could be considered a person with property.
Qingmei poured her some hot tea.
"Miss, you have been too busy recently. You should take a rest."
Shen Luoyun just took the tea, his eyes still not leaving the account book.
"No problem. For the first time in all these years, I feel that life is more than just living. I can do something meaningful. We women are not limited to living in the yard. How is my eldest sister doing?"
Qingmei spoke slowly.
"She hasn't smashed anything recently, but Mother Qiu has been leaving early and coming back late, asking about Mr. Sun."
