Seeing that Su Qingyu had packed up, Shen Zhixiu closed the book, stood up, and took her hand.
When the two arrived at Qingyuanju, the second master Shen Zhishu and the second wife Yang had already arrived.
Neither the eldest master Shen Zhiheng nor the eldest lady Chen came, but the younger generations were all there and sat on the side in an orderly manner.
Yang's eyes rolled and she said, "I heard that my sister-in-law overturned the table last night. My brother is really something. He made my sister-in-law so angry just for a concubine."
