Chen didn't expect Su Qingyu to come. She looked at her curiously. Could it be that she came to stand up for Shen Yue?
But this is their eldest wife's business, and it is not Su Qingyu's turn to interfere in her disciplining of her children.
Chen said unhappily, "Why is Third Brother's wife here? Is there something wrong?"
Su Qingyu sat down on a chair nearby. "Actually, I wanted to talk to Shen Yue about something. She said she was going out of the house to buy some snacks for her grandmother. I wanted to ask if she had brought them back."
When Chen saw Su Qingyu bringing up the old lady, she snorted coldly and spoke.
"Then let my third sister-in-law send someone else to buy it. This evil girl has brought chaos to the harem. I must discipline her today."
Shen Yue tilted her neck upwards, "I didn't."
Shen Yue was a little panicked just now, but when she saw Su Qingyu coming, she felt a little relieved.
Su Qingyu gave Shen Yue a comforting look, then looked at Chen, "What are you saying, sister-in-law? It's not that I want to interfere in the affairs of the eldest house. You said Shen Yue caused chaos in the harem, isn't that the same as saying that I am not a strict housekeeper?"
"I have to ask clearly today. Sister-in-law, please don't wrongly accuse me like this."
"I'm a diligent housekeeper, but something like this happened to the young ladies. If it gets out of hand, the reputations of the other young ladies will be affected."
Su Qingyu's words were half a joke and half a threat.
She stared at Chen with an unusually solemn look, as if she would not give up until Chen gave her an explanation.
Seeing her mother speechless, Chen Ying felt a little unhappy. Ever since Su Qingyu married into the family, she had always been superior to her mother. Now, she was even trying to interfere in the affairs of the eldest wife.
"Since Third Aunt asked, I won't hide this scandal anymore."
"Third sister actually had a secret meeting with the fourth young master of the Li family and even instigated a fight between the fourth young master Li and the young Marquis Zhang."
"If you don't discipline him, I'm afraid there will be trouble."
Su Qingyu tapped her scallion-like fingers on the table and smiled faintly, "Did the Second Miss see her having a secret meeting with Young Master Li Si?"
A hint of panic flashed across Shen Ying's eyes, but she pretended to be calm.
"Of course I saw it. If I didn't see it, how could I tell?"
Su Qingyu looked at Chen Ying with a half-smile, "Then please tell me in detail, Second Miss. Where did they meet? What did they talk about? Who else was there?"
Shen Ying hesitated and couldn't say anything. After thinking for a while, she said, "When I went there, they had already been discovered by Young Marquis Zhang. Shen Yue, relying on the marriage proposal with Young Marquis Zhang, tried to seduce him."
"In the end, it caused Young Master Li Si and Young Marquis Zhang to be on the verge of a fight. No, I'm afraid they've already started fighting."
Shen Yue looked at Shen Ying in disbelief, "You're talking nonsense, this is not true."
Although she and Shen Ying had always been at odds, she had thought it was just a sisterly quarrel. She had never intended to harm Shen Ying; at most, she simply didn't want to bother with her. But today, Shen Ying was determined to ruin her reputation.
Su Qingyu laughed in anger. Did these mother and daughter think they had the final say in this mansion? They were so rude and rude to accuse her of such a serious crime.
She guessed that Chen Shi hadn't thought that much, and probably just wanted to vent her anger for Shen Ying. It was just that the way she vented her anger was a bit stupid.
Su Qingyu looked at Chen, "Sister-in-law wants to punish Shen Yue, I will definitely not stop you."
Chen was confused. Wasn’t she here to protect Shen Yue?
Then Su Qingyu continued, "But I have to explain today's events to my mother."
"Today, when I was returning home from an outing, I happened to see Young Marquis Zhang waiting for the eldest young master in the outer courtyard. It just so happened that Shen Yue was about to go out of the house to buy some snacks for her mother, and the two of them ran into each other."
"They did exchange a few words, and then Li Yunzhou, the fourth young master of the Li family, also arrived."
"Young Master Li Si and Young Marquis Zhang chatted for a while and then said they wanted to spar with each other. What does it have to do with Shen Yue?"
"I saw this clearly from the sidelines. There was no such thing as the second young lady's private reunion. There was also no such thing as the two of them fighting over Shen Yue. These are all nonsense."
"It's my sister-in-law's job to discipline her children, and I really have no right to interfere. But now that I'm the housekeeper, I have to let mother know the truth, otherwise she'll think I'm useless."
Su Qingyu did not plead for Shen Yue. As Chen's stepmother, she really could not interfere in disciplining her daughter.
She could only speak from her housekeeper's perspective, making Chen wary.
As expected, Chen and Shen Ying's expressions changed, especially Shen Ying, who blurted out, "Third Aunt is there? Why didn't I see her?"
Su Qingyu did not hide it and explained with a faint smile: "I'm in the carriage next to me. If you don't believe me, you can go ask the driver."
"I am the third wife of the Shen family after all, so I wouldn't lie about this."
Chen knew that it was impossible to punish Shen Yue today.
She pretended to be enlightened and said, "It seems Ying'er has misunderstood. Let the Third Miss go."
Then she said to Shen Yue in a friendly manner, "It was mother who didn't check it clearly. Will Yue'er be angry with mother?"
Shen Yue lowered her eyes with a sneer in her eyes, but she said: "Mother, you are too serious. How could a daughter be angry with her mother?"
Chen smiled and said, "That's good. There was a misunderstanding between us mother and daughter. It's all right if we talk it out."
After that, he asked Shen Ying to come forward and apologize to Shen Yue. A dirty thing that put the blame on someone else ended up being a misunderstanding.
Su Qingyu and Shen Yue both knew that they couldn't do anything to Chen's mother and daughter about this matter. They could only wait and find another opportunity to settle the score.
Coming out of the main house, Su Qingyu told Shen Yue, "Be careful these days. I think Shen Ying has bad intentions, and I'm afraid she'll do something bad."
Shen Yue nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you, Third Aunt, for today."
After sending Su Qingyu away, Shen Yue was still thinking about Li Yunzhou. Would he be hurt?
