Lin Wanyin and Su Qingyu walked out one after another, and sure enough, it was Su Chengye standing at the door.
Su Qingyu stepped forward and bowed perfunctorily, "Father."
Su Chengye hummed, then turned to look at Lin Wanyin and asked, "Lin Wanyin, what do you mean? You were the one who posted those notices in the city, weren't you?"
Lin Wanyin didn't even glance at Su Chengye. She hummed and said, "What's wrong? I think the Pingning Marquis' Mansion may be short of paper. I won't make it difficult for you. We can write it ourselves."
Su Chengye pointed at Lin Wanyin and shouted angrily: "You... why are you so vicious?"
Su Qingyu didn't understand, so she asked Lin Wanyin's personal maid Yingxue, and only then did she find out what was going on.
It turned out that the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Revenue had jointly checked Lin Wanyin's account books and released the results yesterday, stating that the accounts were correct. The Ministry of Justice then issued an official document ordering Su Chengye to write down the details of the incident and post them in accordance with the previous judgment.
Because the Ministry of Justice did not specify how many posters should be posted, the Su family only posted one, and they posted it in an inconspicuous alley in the East Market.
After Lin Wuchen learned about this, he sent people to write hundreds more copies, even more detailed than the ones written by the Su family, and posted them on the streets and alleys of the capital.
I heard that the Lin family was posting the posters while the Su family was tearing them down. By this time, the commotion outside was already abuzz and everyone knew about it.
Su Qingyu almost laughed out loud. This seemed like the work of her third cousin.
After listening to Su Chengye's words, Lin Wanyin pointed at his nose and cursed.
"How can I be as vicious as you? How could such an unjust person like you emerge from the 300-year-old prestigious Pingning Marquisate?"
"When you, the Su family, spent my dowry, didn't you think this day would come? You've supported the entire family for so many years with a woman's dowry, and you still say I'm vicious? If I were you, I would have found a piece of tofu and killed myself."
"How dare you come here and ask me this? They say businessmen are obsessed with profit, but I think some people's studies are just a bunch of dog's stomachs."
"He pretends to be a decent person on the outside, talking about morality and justice. But in reality, his conscience has been eaten by dogs a long time ago, right?"
Lin Wanyin had been acting with dignity ever since she entered the Su family. She had been wanting to curse him for a long time, but she finally let him do it today.
Su Chengye looked at Lin Wanyin in disbelief. It had only been a few days since their divorce, so how come this person had become like a shrew?
The wife of Marquis Pingning, who was dignified and virtuous in the past, was not like this.
"Well said." Lin Wuchen suddenly walked in from outside.
Then he walked to Su Chengye and said, "Lord Su, please come in. I won't hold back when I hit you. You'd better leave on your own."
Su Chengye's arrogance immediately subsided when he saw Lin Wuchen coming in. There was nothing he could do, Lin Wuchen's attack was too ruthless.
He subconsciously looked at Su Qingyu again. After all, this matter damaged the reputation of the Su family. How could Su Qingyu stand idly by?
Su Qingyu stepped forward and said with a smile, "Father, take care. I will come back to see you when I have time."
Immediately afterwards, Su Chengye was "invited" out by Lin Wuchen.
Su Qingyu carefully looked at Lin Wanyin's expression again, and saw that she was not angry or depressed, so she felt relieved.
The three of them entered the hall separated at the back again. Lin Wanyin took Su Qingyu's hand and asked, "How are you doing in the Shen family? Are your son-in-law and the old lady treating you well?"
Su Qingyu nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother. The Third Master and my mother-in-law are both very kind to me."
Lin Wuchen said jokingly, "Cousin, if Shen Zhixiu treats you badly, you can go and do business with your third cousin. With our brains, we will be rich in a few years."
Su Qingyu laughed and said, "I think this is a good idea. Why don't you discuss it with the Third Master and see if he agrees."
Lin Wuchen thought of Shen Zhixiu, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Next time we meet, I must make him call me cousin."
Su Qingyu couldn't stop smiling, and talked to Lin Wanyin about how she was now in charge of the Shen family's finances.
Although Lin Wanyin was a little worried, she also knew that the Shen family had taken a fancy to her daughter.
She was afraid her daughter would be like her, trapped in the inner chambers, timid and hesitant. So she said, "Mother, you know there's a lot to consider about matters in the inner chambers. But you don't have to be too compromising. Sometimes you have to be happy first, so you can live your life."
"Even if there are things you can't handle, don't be afraid. Mom is your escape route."
Lin Wanyin regretted that she understood it too late, but was also glad that she finally figured it out.
Su Qingyu held Lin Wanyin's hand and said, "Mom, don't worry about me. I can handle these things."
While several people were talking in low voices, Su Shunci suddenly walked in.
"Mother, I brought you some beef pie from Chengnan Wangji. They're still warm."
When he saw Su Qingyu when he entered the room, he asked happily, "Why are you here, big sister?"
He turned around and saluted Lin Wuchen, "Hello, third cousin."
Lin Wuchen glanced at the oil-paper bag in her hand and asked, "Aci, did you know that my cousin didn't have breakfast, so you specially brought me some beef pancakes?"
Su Shunci quickly handed the pastry to Lin Wanyin, "I brought this for my mother. Big sister, have some too."
As he spoke, he opened the paper package and handed it to a few people, and also handed a piece to Lin Wuchen.
Wang Ji’s beef pastry was crispy on the outside and fragrant on the inside. Su Qingyu couldn’t wait to take a bite.
"It's still hot. Ah Ci, did you send it here as soon as you bought it?" Su Qingyu looked at Su Shunci lovingly.
Su Shunci knew that Su Qingyu was praising her, and she felt a little embarrassed.
"My mother likes it, so I bought some and sent it to her when I passed by."
Lin Wanyin touched Su Shunci's head and said to Su Qingyu, "This girl comes to see me every few days, and sometimes she even has lunch with me at noon."
Su Qingyu then asked Su Shunci, "How's the business of your two silk shops? Are you managing them smoothly?"
Su Shunci smiled and said, "My mother used to take care of everything, so I just took advantage of the situation. If I can't manage it well, then I'm pretty useless."
Su Qingyu said she wanted to go to her shop, since she had nothing to do today. She and her sisters could also go to Fanjinlou to look at jewelry and then come back to have lunch with their mother.
Su Shunci immediately stood up and took Su Qingyu to the Su family's silk shop.
These two shops were located in the west of the city and catered to the wealthy. When Lin Wanyin took over the two shops, she used the Lin family's connections to find several brocade merchants in Jiangnan to work with.
The Su family's two shops didn't have many goods, but they were all new styles from Jiangnan. In addition, Lin Wanyin had a good business reputation, so the shops had many regular customers over the years.
The two men first arrived at the shop on Chang'an Street. Before they got off the carriage, they saw a lot of people standing at the door, as if they were watching the fun.
