Chapter 101 Heartache



Upon hearing this, Su Qingyu quickly looked at Shen Zhixiu, "You haven't rested for two days and two nights? How can your body withstand it?"

Seeing the guilt on Su Qingyu's face, Shen Zhixiu smiled and replied, "I'm fine. I'll go back home and get some sleep later."

"Leave Su Yuankai to me. He should be released in two or three days."

Su Qingyu thought for a moment and said, "Then when the time comes, Third Master will notify my third cousin. I'll have him place the people in the Lin family's house in the suburbs of Beijing, and my third cousin's people will help keep an eye on them."

Shen Zhixiu thought that this was a good idea. Lin Wuchen's identity made it convenient for him to take over this matter.

Su Qingyu looked at the tiredness between Shen Zhixiu's eyebrows, and a trace of heartache passed through her heart that she herself did not even notice.

"Master San, go back and rest. I'm also taking my people back to the mansion."

The tone of his voice softened unconsciously.

Shen Zhixiu heard the worry in her words and comforted her with a smile, "I'll go back and sleep for two hours, it'll be fine."

On the carriage back to the mansion, Su Qingyu looked at Aunt Xue, who was huddled in the corner of the carriage, and said in a cold voice, "I will get Su Yuankai out of the Ministry of Justice, but I won't let him return to the mansion. I will find him a new place to live. Whether he can survive and live well depends entirely on you."

Aunt Xue nodded hurriedly, "I will listen to you, Miss. Please have mercy on me and spare my son and me."

Su Qingyu snorted, "When you stole my brother, you didn't expect this day to come, did you?"

"Those who do evil will eventually perish. These are all your own sins. If you don't pay for them, your children will have to pay for them."

Aunt Xue said in a tearful voice, "I'll pay it back. I'll do whatever the young lady asks me to do."

"Aunt, please take care of yourself. Otherwise, I don't mind sending you and your two children to hell to reunite." Su Qingyu added before Aunt Xue got off the carriage.

After Aunt Xue got off the car, Su Qingyu told Erxi, who was driving the car, "Let's go to Lin's Trading Company."

In the backyard of Lin's Trading Company, in Lin Wuchen's study.

Seeing that there was no one guarding outside and the study door was not closed tightly, Su Qingyu did not ask anyone to inform her and just pushed the door open and walked in.

After entering the room, she found that her fourth sister Su Shunci was also there, but her expression looked a little different from usual.

Lin Wuchen was sitting behind the desk, and Su Shunci was standing outside the desk, their eyes almost at eye level.

Su Shunci's eyes widened, her face tense. Lin Wuchen, on the other hand, seemed to be trying hard to suppress a laugh, feigning a serious expression.

Su Qingyu looked at the two people in confusion and said, "Fourth sister is here too? Are you guys competing to see who blinks first?"

When Su Shunci heard Su Qingyu's voice, he immediately turned around and looked at her.

The next moment, Su Shunci's delicate little face twisted into a knot, and she threw herself into Su Qingyu's arms and started crying.

Su Qingyu was at a loss. Her fourth sister had been by her side for a while now, and she wasn't as timid as before. This was the first time she had cried so aggrieved and sad.

She subconsciously looked at Lin Wuchen. Her third cousin was such a grown-up, yet he still bullied a child?

Seeing this, Lin Wuchen also stood up and looked at Su Shunci in astonishment. He thought to himself, this girl was quite calm just now, why is she crying now?

He forced a smile and looked at Su Qingyu, "Cousin, listen to my explanation..."

Su Qingyu interrupted him, "I don't want to listen to your explanation first, I have to listen to Fourth Sister first."

What if my cousin says something wrong and my fourth sister cries even harder?

"Aci, talk to your sister, what's wrong?" Su Qingyu wiped the tears from the corners of Su Shunci's eyes, and asked her softly in a coaxing voice.

After Su Shunci cried for a while, she felt much better and realized that she had been impulsive just now.

She took out her handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face, lowering her head and saying, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have touched my third cousin's golden abacus."

Su Qingyu was even more puzzled. "It's just an abacus, it's broken, why are you crying?"

Seeing that this matter could not be explained clearly, Lin Wuchen pulled Su Qingyu aside and spoke in a low voice.

Su Shunci had a question she wanted to ask Lin Wuchen today. When she entered, the study was empty. Lin Wuchen had an exquisitely crafted gold abacus. Su Shunci curiously fiddled with it, and Lin Wuchen caught her eye.

Lin Wuchen knew that Su Qingyu wanted to train this girl to be able to stand on her own. When he entered the room and saw her flustered and trying to pretend to be calm, he wanted to deliberately give her a difficult problem.

Lin Wuchen then said that the abacus was very valuable and that if Su Shunci touched it, he would have to pay 10,000 taels of silver. His original intention was to see if Su Shunci had any countermeasures.

Su Shunci knew she was in the wrong, but ten thousand taels of silver wasn't reasonable either. She tried to recall what Su Qingyu had taught her, how to deal with people and situations outside. Especially when money was involved, how to seize the initiative.

Su Shunci was relatively calm and kept arguing his point, even asking Lin Wuchen to provide proof of buying the abacus.

The two of them exchanged words for a good cup of tea. Su Shunci's face remained tense as she argued with Lin Wuchen about how much compensation he should pay.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Su Qingyu came in, Su Shunci burst into tears of grievance. Lin Wuchen then realized that this little girl was just a facade.

After listening to Lin Wuchen's words, Su Qingyu thought of Su Shunci's days at the Su family. She thought that it was good that she could pretend to be calm, which at least proved that her teachings these days were useful.

After understanding the whole story, Su Qingyu walked over to Su Shunci, put her arm around her shoulders and comforted her, "Okay, don't cry. Third cousin was just teasing you on purpose, he was wrong."

Lin Wuchen also hurried forward and said: "It's my cousin's fault. I shouldn't tease you."
