Su Qingyu also wanted to test the Lin family's intentions, although based on her understanding of her uncles and grandmother, they would definitely support her mother's divorce.
However, as the Lin family's business grows bigger and their family background becomes more prominent, people's ideas may change.
She had to plan all these for her mother in advance.
Lin Wuchen said without hesitation, "That's a good idea. I'll write to my father right away. Aunt wants to stay in the capital, and we have plenty of houses. If Aunt doesn't want to stay in the capital, she can return to her old house in Yunzhou Prefecture."
Su Qingyu smiled and said, "It's too early to talk about this. Mother wants to discuss this matter after I get married."
She was thinking about Su Shunci in her heart. After finishing her business, she stood up and prepared to leave. "I will take my fourth sister away first. If there is a reply from my uncle, please tell me, cousin."
When Lin Wuchen sent Su Qingyu out, he glanced at the high-profile golden abacus on the table. He smiled at first, then took it in his hand.
When Su Qingyu arrived at the flower hall next door, Su Shunci had already finished dressing up and was sitting quietly on a chair, holding a bowl of bird's nest milk.
Seeing Su Qingyu and Lin Wuchen coming in one after another, Su Shunci blushed.
She stood up and walked to Lin Wuchen, bowed and said, "I'm sorry to have caused trouble to my third cousin. I was rude just now."
Lin Wuchen already felt a little guilty, and now he felt even more embarrassed.
He handed the golden abacus to Su Shunci, "I don't blame you, it's my fault. I'm giving you this abacus as an apology."
Su Shunci quickly took two steps back, "No, how can I take my cousin's things?"
It was already rude of her to touch someone else's things without their permission. If she took this thing away, what kind of person would she be? She couldn't let her elder sister lose face in the Lin family because of her.
Lin Wuchen frowned and looked at Su Shunci. Why did the little girl who could argue with him before suddenly become so cautious?
"You don't want to forgive your cousin? You're still angry with him?" Lin Wuchen pretended to be sad and helpless.
He had often used this trick against Su Qingyu before, so he was very familiar with it.
Sure enough, Su Shunci quickly explained, "No, I don't blame my cousin."
Lin Wuchen couldn't help laughing, and stuffed the golden abacus in Su Shunci's arms, "Take it and play with it, it's not a valuable thing."
Su Qingyu rolled her eyes at Lin Wuchen, then said to Su Shunci, "Just accept what your cousin gave you. Our cousin is very wealthy, so he doesn't need this kind of calculation."
Lin Wuchen smiled helplessly, he had no idea what to do with this cousin.
On the way back home, Su Qingyu held Su Shunci in her arms and said, "Aci, you handled the situation very well today. Just treat this as a test from your sister and cousin. When you negotiate with others in the future, you should do the same. Be neither humble nor arrogant, and argue with reason."
"No matter how panicked you are inside, you must remain calm on the surface. Don't give in where you shouldn't."
Taking this opportunity, Su Qingyu told Su Shunci how to behave and speak outside.
Su Shunci listened carefully, pondering Su Qingyu's words and nodding silently.
After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Su Qingyu and Su Shunci each returned to their own courtyards.
After lunch, Su Qingyu picked up the needle and thread and started embroidering by the window.
This was a robe she had made for Shen Zhixiu, for his daily wear. She had specially embroidered a few subtle bamboo leaves on the hems. It was neither too conspicuous nor too elegant, yet still looked elegant and noble.
Su Qingyu's embroidery skills were also learned after she got married in her previous life.
So after she finished embroidering the two bamboo leaves, Pearl exclaimed, "Miss, when did your embroidery skills become so great?"
Su Qingyu smiled and said, "I learned it in my dream."
"Miss, you have a wonderful dream. I want to learn some skills from my dreams someday." Pearl joked playfully.
While the master and servant were chatting and laughing, a servant ran into the yard.
Before Su Qingyu could see the figure clearly, she heard the voice.
"Miss, go check it out! Miss Three and Miss Four are fighting."
The person who came was Fangcao, Su Shunci's second-class maid. She was so anxious that she ran out of breath.
Su Qingyu got up, put on her shoes, and walked to the door and asked, "Is there a fight? Where are the people? Why is there a fight?"
Fangcao took two deep breaths before saying, "The third young lady came to our yard and saw the fourth young lady's golden abacus and wanted it, but the fourth young lady refused to give it to her."
"When this servant came out, the two of them had already started fighting."
When Su Qingyu heard that they had started to act, she hurriedly said, "Let's go and take a look."
Zhenzhu quickly took out a cloak and put it on Su Qingyu. The master and servant walked quickly towards Qingxinju where Su Shunci lived.
This courtyard was where Su Shunci lived herself, but most of the time, she and Aunt Lian lived in Ruyi Pavilion.
When Su Qingyu walked into the gate of Qingxinju, she heard the sound of furniture colliding in the main room, followed by the sound of a chair falling to the ground with a bang.
She took two quick steps forward, and the servants standing at the door of Qingxinju stepped aside when they saw the eldest lady coming.
Su Qingyu walked into the inner room and her face darkened when she saw the scene inside.
The two of them didn't look like young ladies from aristocratic families at all. Su Yihui pressed Su Shunci's body, while Su Shunci grabbed Su Yihui's hair.
But Su Yihui is two years older than Su Shunci and a head taller, so she has a clear advantage.
Su Qingyu turned to look at Zhenzhu and Feicui, "You two, go pull the Third Miss away."
It sounded like they were trying to stop the fight, but Pearl and Jade heard the hidden meaning.
The two looked at each other and stepped forward to pull Su Yihui away.
He was still trying to persuade them, "Ladies, stop fighting. Let's talk it out nicely."
Although they said so, the two of them only held Su Yihui. This way, Su Shunci had his hands free.
Su Shunci slapped Su Yihui on the face, and the next moment, Su Shunci rode on Su Yihui.
While beating her, he asked, "Tell me, are you still bullying me?"
"Are you convinced? Do you still dare to steal my things?" Su Shunci asked without stopping his hands.
He was stunned as he looked at Su Yihui's pearls and jadeite, thinking that this fourth young lady was really cruel when she got angry.
While Su Shunci was beating people, Su Qingyu also figured out the real reason.
Don't even stop her, Su Yihui just deserves a beating.
