The next morning, Chuntao came in to report that the Third Master had gone to the ancestral hall early that morning and had punished the Second Miss, Shen Ying, with family discipline. Meanwhile, everyone in the First House frantically searched for a doctor to treat the Second Miss's injuries.
Su Qingyu raised the corners of her lips when she heard that, and felt relieved.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day before Su Yihui's wedding. Su Qingyu returned to the Pingning Marquis Mansion after breakfast.
Although Prince Zhao planned to carry the person into the mansion in a sedan chair, the Su family was marrying off their daughter after all, so the mansion still had to be decorated.
Before Su Qingyu got off the carriage, she saw the big red silk hanging at the gate of the mansion.
But it was different from when she got married. The door was deserted and there were not even a few relatives.
Su Qingyu understood. Prince Zhao had already said that there was only one sedan chair, so the Su family could not hold a grand ceremony.
By then, the Zhao family will only have one sedan chair to welcome the bride, which will be a disgrace to the Su family.
The carriage stopped at the second gate. Su Qingyu got off the carriage and went to pay her respects to the old lady first, and then went to Su Yihui's yard to add makeup to her.
Feicui held a red lacquer box in her hand, which contained a red gold and gemstone hairpin. To Su Qingyu, it was not expensive, just a formality, a superficial effort.
When she entered, everyone in the Su family was also adding makeup to Su Yihui's clothes, so she stood quietly at the door. The room was crowded and noisy, so no one noticed her presence. The servants wanted to announce it, but she stopped them.
After her rebirth, Su Qingyu often preferred to observe from the sidelines. She found that when she was on the sidelines, she could see many things from her past life more clearly in this life.
The voice of Second Madam He was heard, full of joy and intimacy.
"Yihui, this is something Second Aunt picked out for you at Fanjinlou. It's a red gold hairpin with five phoenixes and pearls. The carvings on it are all new this year."
Su Qingyu's eyebrows raised slightly. Second Aunt really spent a lot of money. This is much more valuable than her hairpin. It must be for Second Uncle's errand.
Sure enough, He continued, "After you get married, you and Prince Zhao will live happily together. Your second uncle's affairs are still counting on you."
These days, because Su Xiangling was favored by the virtuous concubine, He's status in the family rose. But Su Xiangling's situation was just the beginning after all, and she still had to rely on Su Yihui for Su Chengyan's affairs.
So this time when adding makeup to Su Yihui, He specially chose expensive ones, just to be able to do Su Chengyan's job well.
Seeing that He treated her so seriously, Su Yihui also became distracted.
After taking the jewelry box, she said confidently, "Don't worry, Second Aunt, we are family, this is not an easy thing to do."
Su Qingyu sneered. A trivial matter? Su Yihui was really bold.
After He added the makeup, Aunt Lian came forward with Su Shunci.
Aunt Lian's life was not well-off either. She had been relying on Lin Wanyin and Su Qingyu for support over the years. Naturally, the dowry she gave her would not be as expensive as He's.
"Miss Third, this is a gift from me to you. It's a red gold bracelet with carved patterns. Please don't despise it."
Even though Su Shunci told Concubine Lian every day that she didn't need to be so submissive in the mansion, Concubine Lian's temper was hard to change after years of practice, and she would always be a little humble when talking to anyone in the mansion.
Naturally, these young ladies and gentlemen did not take her seriously.
Su Yihui took the bracelet from Aunt Lian and threw it to the maid without even looking at it.
She sneered and said, "This bracelet will be given to the maidservants beside me. They have been busy with me these days."
"I'm also afraid that such a thing will be laughed at by the Zhao family. Auntie, please don't mind."
Su Shunci was so angry that she stepped forward and snatched the bracelet from the maid's arms.
"Third sister doesn't want it, but I still can't bear to let her go."
Seeing that she had snatched it back again, Su Yihui said disdainfully, "Even though Fourth Sister is in charge of the shop, she can't change her petty habits."
Since the last Lotus Feast, the silk shop managed by Su Shunci has been doing extremely well. In addition, Song Wanwan has been very caring towards Su Shunci and introduced her to many close friends.
Seeing the increase in income, the old lady and Su Chengye became more friendly to Su Shunci. This made Su Yihui jealous. It was obviously her who was going to get married, but Su Shunci and Su Xiangling had been stealing the show these days.
She didn't dare to do anything to Su Xiangling, so she took her anger out on Su Shunci.
Su Qingyu's eyes at the door gradually turned cold, and she turned to look at the box in Feicui's hand.
After thinking for a while, he turned around and whispered a few instructions in Feicui's ear.
Jade nodded, holding the jewelry box and left.
Su Shunci in the room was still angrily scolding Su Yihui, "I may be petty, but I'm not like you, you have no manners at all."
"No wonder Prince Zhao only used a sedan chair to carry you in. He probably thought you were bringing shame to the Zhao family."
This touched Su Yihui's sore spot. "You little bitch, I'm going to tear your mouth apart."
He actually wanted to personally pull Su Shunci's leg, without any regard for the dignity of the upcoming marriage.
Seeing this, Su Qingyu stepped inside and said, "Am I late? I'm here to help my third sister put on some makeup."
He looked at Su Yihui in surprise again, "What happened?"
The whole person calmly blocked Su Shunci behind him.
When Su Yihui saw Su Qingyu coming, her expression eased a lot.
"Big sister is here, come and sit down, let's have a good talk."
She knew that Su Qingyu was protecting Su Shunci, so she had to swallow her anger. She was still waiting for Su Qingyu to add some makeup to her. With Su Qingyu's current status, the makeup she gave her would definitely be better than that of Second Aunt He.
After all, the salary was too low, and it was also an insult to Su Qingyu's status as the third wife of the Shen family.
