Mrs. Lin pondered over her daughter's words word by word, thinking over each one over and over again.
She was not an ordinary woman. Her knowledge and vision were better than those of ordinary girls.
Thinking about the day when she married into the Su family, she suddenly felt that what her daughter said made sense.
Although her fate is different from that of most women, she lives a free and easy life than most people.
But my daughter is only fifteen years old. What if she meets someone she likes in the future?
Well, if that day really comes, she will make plans for her daughter.
Thinking of this, Lin looked up and said with a smile: "Then it's up to you. Fortunately, the old lady of the Shen family is kind and will not make things difficult for you. Life is not easy, so do whatever you want."
"I don't have any other abilities, but I can ensure you have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life."
Su Qingyu's eyes suddenly turned red. If her mother were still alive in her previous life...
She shifted her body and snuggled up to Lin. "Mom, you should stay at the hot spring villa tomorrow. I'll go to my cousin's place and borrow a doctor to come to the villa to help you with your pregnancy."
Lin turned around and looked at her lovingly, "You will get married in a hundred days, so I'd better stay at home and help you take care of these things."
Su Qingyu shook her head and said, "No, it's not like you're marrying a living person, there's no need for so many formalities. The most important thing right now is for mother to rest assured and give birth to a legitimate son."
"Besides...what if someone in this mansion wants to harm mother?"
As the mother and daughter were talking, the maid Bai Lu walked in.
"Madam, dinner is ready, you can eat now."
Lin asked, "Have you made the dishes that the young lady likes? Have you made the fried chicken with shad and pine nuts?"
Su Qingyu hurriedly said, "Mother, I'll be a vegetarian for the next hundred days." She then instructed Bai Lu, "Tell the kitchen to fry some candied yellow sprouts for me, and some bamboo shoots, but don't add any animal oil."
"Tomorrow I will send my mother to the farm. The day after tomorrow is Mr. Shen's seventh day. I will also go to the Huguo Temple to perform a ritual for him."
The Shen family would also perform the seventh-day ritual, so she just had to do her best. Since she had taken his wife's place, she had to do something.
Lin said approvingly, "You are right to do this. Now that you have made a decision, you must bear the responsibilities that must be taken."
By the time Su Qingyu accompanied Lin to have dinner and returned to Bishui Pavilion, it was already the beginning of the night hour.
Amber, the maid who was in charge of jewelry and the small warehouse, came over to help Su Qingyu take off the hairpins and rings.
Su Qingyu glanced at her calmly, then suddenly asked, "Where's the rare copy of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy that my eldest cousin sent me last month? Take it out so I can see it."
Amber was stunned for a moment, then said, "Miss, that calligraphy book has been borrowed by my cousin."
Su Qingyu's face darkened. She looked at her hair in the mirror and asked, "Did you ask me about this?"
He snorted again, "Borrow? Has Cheng Rujin ever returned anything she borrowed from me?"
Amber was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground and explained, "Your servant... Your servant saw that the young lady didn't practice calligraphy much, and since the young lady asked, it was difficult for me to refuse."
Su Qingyu looked at Amber coldly through the bronze mirror, "You can't refuse? When did you become my master?"
This was the case in her previous life. Many of her jewelry and rare items ended up in Cheng Ruijin's hands for unknown reasons.
At that time, she felt that Cheng Ruijin and her cousin were people who really cared about her, so she turned a blind eye.
She remembered that before she got married in her previous life, Amber was asked to serve Cheng Ruijin.
Now it seems that this girl has probably had second thoughts for a long time, or she wants to have the best of both worlds.
Su Qingyu stood up and looked down at Amber.
"Write down everything you lend to my cousin."
While Amber was writing the list, she lit some sandalwood herself. The light blue smoke rose up slowly, making people calm down.
Zhenzhu brought in hot tea and fruit. Su Qingyu had been out for a while and was indeed tired and exhausted.
He picked up a piece of sesame cake, took a small bite, and drank a sip of hot tea.
Then he frowned and looked at the teacup, "Isn't this purple bamboo shoot?"
Su Qingyu's favorite tea is Guzhu Zisun, which has a clear tea soup and a sweet taste.
But the tea in my hand...
Then I heard Zhenzhu whisper, "Miss, this is Taiwangju, it can reduce internal heat."
Su Qingyu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Did this girl think that she was just being tough on the outside but bitter on the inside?
"Change it to purple bamboo shoots. I can't get used to this stuff."
Seeing this, Zhenzhu put away the tea and turned to leave.
Su Qingyu wiped her hands and looked at Amber who came over with paper.
"Is everything written clearly?"
Amber quickly replied, "It's all clearly written."
Su Qingyu took the paper and took a look at it.
A cloisonné enamel box, a gold hairpin inlaid with plum petals and agate, snail ink from overseas, a cat's eye hairpin, a calligraphy copy by Yan Zhenqing, a rare medical book from the previous dynasty...
There are nearly twenty items in total.
After reading it, she put the paper aside and looked at Amber coldly.
"Is there anything else between you and my cousin? I'm only asking you this once, so you'd better tell the truth."
Amber quickly shook her head, "No, this servant and my cousin have no private dealings. It's just..."
"Just what?" Su Qingyu asked coldly.
Amber took a deep breath and said, "My cousin's maid, Yuxiu, often comes to see me and sometimes asks about my cousin's affairs. She always brings food and sometimes gives me jewelry. I'm sorry, I might... I might have said something I shouldn't have."
Su Qingyu pondered for a moment, but Manju spoke first. "How could you do such a thing? The young lady has been very kind to you, and our courtyard has always given you a lot of gifts. Last year, when your parents were sick, it was the young lady who helped to hire a doctor and prescribed the medicine."
Agate has an impatient temper and speaks bluntly and mercilessly.
