Shen Zhixiu shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it. We won't do anything to break up a couple."
Su Qingyu thought that Shen Zhixiu felt that doing this was a bit insidious, so she thought for a moment and said.
"If Prince Zhao uses my relationship with Su Yihui to embarrass Third Master, Third Master, you don't have to care. My relationship with that concubine sister is worse than that of strangers."
Seeing that she didn't understand, Shen Zhixiu smiled faintly and explained, "Neither I, nor the Yan family, nor Zhao Rui, have any intention of taking away Zhao Ji's position as the crown prince."
"Firstly, Zhao Rui has no interest in military power, and secondly, the late wife of the Duke of Weiguo was indebted to the Yan family. But Zhao Ji is a man who thinks too much and always wants to be closer to me."
"Before, he wanted his youngest son to marry Shen Yue, but I didn't agree. His youngest son is only ten years old this year."
Seeing the smile that Su Qingyu couldn't suppress on her lips, he said again.
"You don't have to worry about your half-sister taking advantage of Zhao Ji's influence. She won't gain any benefits by marrying into the Zhao family, and I'm afraid she'll regret it later."
Su Qingyu was puzzled. She looked at Shen Zhixiu with her sparkling eyes, and her slightly curled eyelashes cast fan-shaped shadows at the corners of her eyes.
Seeing that she didn't understand, Shen Zhixiu moved closer and spoke in a mysterious tone.
"Believe me, your half-sister will have a much more interesting life if she marries into the Zhao family than in the Su family."
"You'll know after you've interacted with Zhao Ji a couple more times."
"You don't have anywhere to send her now anyway, right? Why not let her marry into the Zhao family? That way you can have some fun."
The two were not far away from each other, and the breath he exhaled when he spoke just fell on Su Qingyu's ear.
Shen Zhixiu saw her cold and beautiful face gradually turn red, and they both froze there motionless.
When Wenzhu knocked on the door and came in, she saw two equally red faces. She asked in surprise, "Third Master, is the room too hot? Do you want to open the window a little?"
Shen Zhixiu's Adam's apple moved and his eyes instantly became clear again.
He said calmly, "No, even though it's spring, it's still cold outside."
He was afraid that Su Qingyu would get cold.
Su Qingyu recalled the strangeness that had just occurred and took two deep breaths. She suppressed the throbbing in her heart, stood up, said goodbye, and left the Shen family.
After returning from the Shen family, Su Qingyu rarely interacted with Su Yihui. Every day, she either accompanied Lin for meals and walks, or hid away in the Bishui Pavilion to do needlework. Su Shunci, however, often came to visit and chatted with her about trivial matters in the shop outside.
I heard that the old lady has already arranged two concubines for Su Chengye, and is just waiting for Su Qingyu to get married on May 18th, and then she will bring them into the house.
As for why they had to wait until Su Qingyu got married, the old lady explained that she did not want to distract Su Chengye and Lin, and it would be better for them to concentrate on preparing for Su Qingyu's wedding.
Su Qingyu knew clearly that the old lady was afraid that she would deal with the two concubines before she got married.
Lin Er's wife soon heard about Jinghui Nunnery. She heard that it was Zhao Ji, the son of the Duke of Wei, who had sent the old Duke to Qianzhou. On the way back to the capital, he went to Huguo Temple to burn incense. On the way down the mountain, he chased a fox and ended up at the entrance of Jinghui Nunnery.
He originally went in to ask for some water to drink, but ended up flirting with Su Yihui.
The course of events was pretty much as Su Qingyu had guessed. She planned to listen to Shen Zhixiu and let Su Yihui marry into the Zhao family.
In late March, Su Chengxun, the third master of the Su family, finally returned to Beijing with his family.
Su Qingyu and Lin went to the second gate early to greet them, and Su Yihui and Su Shunci also went with them.
These days, Su Yihui treated Su Qingyu with great respect. However, she remained stern and cold towards Su Shunci. As for the Third Master and his family, who were about to arrive at the mansion, Su Yihui was even more disdainful.
He muttered, "You came back from a poor and remote place, don't be dazzled by the wealth of the capital."
Su Qingyu shook her head and said nothing. Su Shunci sneered, "Third sister, if you haven't seen the world, read more books."
"Jiangnan is a prosperous place, and Suzhou is even more prosperous. Many of our new materials and jewelry are from Jiangnan."
"Third sister actually laughed at Third Uncle and his group for coming back from a remote village. If anyone tells others about it, they will be laughed at."
Ever since Su Shunci had beaten Su Yihui last time, it was like a new door had opened. After Su Yihui came back this time, Su Shunci not only didn't take any of the blame, but also often made Su Yihui speechless.
In addition, Su Shunci often followed Lin Wuchen to learn about things outside these days, and Lin Wuchen also told her a lot about customs and business rules in various places.
Su Shunci's vision suddenly became much higher than Su Yihui's, and many of the things he said were difficult for Su Yihui to understand, let alone refute.
Just like what Su Shunci said at this moment, Jiangnan was prosperous and the clothing styles of the capital were passed down from Jiangnan. Su Yihui wanted to refute it, but she couldn't say anything.
She didn't even know where Suzhou was, so how could she know if it was rich or not? What she said just now was just a casual remark to disparage the third wife.
Su Yihui blushed, glared at Su Shunci, and said, "You're so sharp-tongued."
Su Shunci straightened his back, stood on tiptoe and hummed.
As for why he stood on tiptoe, it was simply because he was short and wanted to surpass Su Yihui in imposing manner.
"Madam, the carriage has arrived at the mansion." A little maid ran in and reported in a low voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of carriages approaching from afar. Then, six carriages stopped at the second gate.
In the first carriage in front, Su Chengxun helped the third wife Hai and daughter Su Zhilan get off the carriage.
In the second carriage, the third son of the third house, Su Yuanyi, the third young master of the Su family, also got off the carriage.
Su Chengxun and his wife, along with their two children, first paid their respects to their elder sister-in-law, Mrs. Lin.
Su Qingyu and others hurriedly stepped aside. After Lin and Su Chengxun exchanged a few words, she brought her sisters forward to greet her third uncle and aunt.
