Chapter 160: Diverting the trouble



Su Shunci knew what Su Qingyu meant. She and her sisters had already been to the Marquis of Loyalty's Mansion, so the matter was resolved.

The elder sister said this probably because she was afraid that she would be troubled.

Su Shunci pretended to look serious and said, "Grandma, although it was my second sister who caused this, I have always been in charge of the shop."

"It is my natural responsibility to resolve this matter."

"At worst, I'll go to the Marquis of Loyalty's mansion and apologize in person."

When the old lady heard that she had taken on the task, her expression softened considerably. She then instructed Su Shunci, "These two shops are the only ones in the family that are profitable right now. You should explain this to Miss Song. Don't let people say that our family is dishonest and that such a small matter could lead to a mistake."

In the past, an old lady in a silk shop would not have taken it seriously.

But now that all the family's property had been taken away by Lin Wanyin, the only places where they could earn money were these two silk shops. If the business of these two shops went wrong, the livelihood of the Marquis's mansion would be even more difficult.

Su Qingyu lowered her head and snorted inwardly. Grandmother was pushing the blame onto Ah Ci, feeling quite justified.

It didn't seem like a chance encounter, but rather like he came to find her on purpose.

"Miss, I want to ask you something." Aunt Xue said cautiously and with a bit of flattery.

Seeing this, Su Shunci calmly walked to the side to look at the flowers, not too far away, not too close. She couldn't hear what the two were saying, but she could still be by Su Qingyu's side at any time.

Su Qingyu knew what Aunt Xue was going to ask, but she still asked her, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Aunt Xue pleaded in a tone that was almost pleading, "Miss, can you please let me see your brother? It's been several months, and I'm really worried about him, with no sign of him alive or dead."
