Chen Zhao sneered, "Don't quibble, I heard this from my third uncle himself. You saw it in the mansion on the day the engagement was broken off."
"I was wondering why you were so determined not to marry me. Turns out you've found someone better."
There was sarcasm in Shen Zhao's tone, as if only by saying this could he shift his blame onto Su Qingyu.
Su Qingyu's cold eyes were filled with murderous intent. She stared at Shen Zhao and warned him coldly, "The Third Master was not in the mansion that day. You heard it wrong."
"If this gets out and brings disaster to the Third Master, I will never let you off easily."
After saying that, Su Qingyu walked around Chen Zhao and returned to the west courtyard.
She didn't care what Shen Zhao thought of her. But Shen Zhao actually knew that Shen Zhixiu was in the mansion during the funeral, and she had to tell Shen Zhixiu about this.
Although he had faked his death in the northwest to investigate the case of Lord Xu's unpaid salary, if word got out, he would be impeached for deceiving the emperor. There were many people in the court who wanted him dead, and a single mistake could cost the entire Shen family their lives.

When Shen Zhixiu came in, Su Qingyu's thoughts had already drifted to the sky.
"What are you thinking about?"
Shen Zhixiu asked as he went into the bathroom to wash his face.
Su Qingyu then realized that he had come in. She collected her thoughts and asked him, "Mother wants to see you. Is there something wrong?"
Shen Zhixiu walked out of the bathroom with a smile, "Then guess what it is?"
When Su Qingyu heard him say this, she knew that he thought the same as she did.
"Mother also wants me to take over the household duties?"
