There was a violent storm inside the house, and suddenly there was lightning and thunder outside.
After being silent for several days, God finally sent down the rain.
Su Qingyu fell asleep in a daze when she heard the sound of rain outside. Because of the rain, the room was much cooler than usual.
The next morning, when Shen Zhixiu got up, the rain outside had not stopped. Su Qingyu struggled to open her eyes and glanced at him. She wanted to get up and help him change clothes, but he held her down.
"You take a rest. Why are you up so early? It's not like I don't know how to dress."
Su Qingyu sometimes woke up with him, and helping him change clothes was a hobby between husband and wife. But today, she was still sleepy, so he didn't want to bother her.
Before leaving, he leaned over and kissed her between the eyebrows, coaxing her in a low voice.
"It's raining heavily outside, so just go to sleep peacefully. You don't need to go to pay your respects to your mother today."
Su Qingyu unconsciously said "hmm" and turned around to continue sleeping.
When Su Qingyu woke up again, the sound of rain outside had stopped.
Zhenzhu and Chuntao came in to help her get up and change clothes. Su Qingyu glanced outside and said, "Are you not going to go down? Open the window a little to ventilate the room."
Pearl hurried to the window and opened it. "I didn't dare open it this morning because I was afraid the lady would get wet. Now it's time to air it out so the room can feel fresher."
Su Qingyu packed up and prepared to go to pay her respects to the old lady. When she arrived at the banquet room, she saw Feicui packing her things.
"What are you busy with?"
Feicui turned around and said with a smile, "Didn't the Third Master tell Madam? Tomorrow I'll take you to a villa on the outskirts of the city to stay for a few days. The Third Master told me this morning to pack some of Madam's underwear."
Su Qingyu also remembered what Shen Zhixiu said yesterday. She thought he was just talking, but she didn't expect that he really took it to heart.
"Don't bring too much. The Third Master is busy with official duties and won't be staying for many days."
Adding to the things going on in the mansion, this trip out for the couple was a chance to take some time off from their busy schedule.
Leaving the main room, the cool dampness after the rain hit her face. Su Qingyu took two deep breaths and said, "It's really nice after the rain."
The flowers and plants on both sides of the bluestone path stretch out wantonly, and when the wind blows, they sweep away a cloud of water droplets.
After leaving the west courtyard and arriving at Qingyuan Residence, the maids and old women were cleaning up the water stains in the yard.
Su Qingyu came earlier today, and Shen Yue had just finished having breakfast with the old lady.
Seeing her coming, he stepped forward and bowed, "Auntie, you're here really early. Please stay and talk to Grandma. I'll go see how Grandma's ginseng tea is going."
As long as Chen Yue is in Qingyuanju, she will personally take care of the old lady's personal matters.
After Shen Yue left, Su Qingyu sat next to the old lady, "Mother, did you go to bed very late last night?"
"After we all leave, mother can sleep for a while."
The old lady sighed, "I tossed and turned, but couldn't fall asleep. I thought about the old man, and I wondered if he would blame me if he knew about it."
Su Qingyu comforted him, "How could the old man blame you? What he wants most is the prosperity of his family. He couldn't be happier to see the Shen family flourishing like this today."
The old lady didn't want her to worry, so she didn't mention the matter again. She just took Su Qingyu's hand and said, "The Shen family depends on you and Zhixiu. Among the younger generation, Hong'er seems to be pretty good right now."
"Before, your second sister-in-law had always wanted Zhixiu to find a good job for Hong'er, but later Hong'er got anxious and said that your second sister-in-law was too eager for quick success. This child is much more stable than Zhao'er."
Su Qingyu heard the loneliness in the old lady's words and comforted her softly, "The other young masters are all young, they will be fine when they grow up. The eldest young master is married now, and I think he has become much more stable."
The old lady snorted, "His little cleverness is all over his face." She looked at Su Qingyu meaningfully and said, "I wish you could give me two grandchildren someday. If our family wants to prosper forever, we must have talented successors."
Su Qingyu blushed, "Mother, I'm not in a hurry. I'm still young."
She regretted it right after she finished speaking. She was young, but Shen Zhixiu was not young at all. She could only say this to her own mother, how could she tell her mother-in-law?
She didn't sleep well last night and her mind is confused.
Just as I was regretting it, I heard the old lady say, "You're right. She's still young, and her bones haven't fully grown yet. I'm afraid she'll suffer during the birth."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Why not ask the doctor to prescribe you a contraceptive prescription? It's a good opportunity for you to take good care of yourself in the next two years."
"Yang Wenshi's second wife died because she was too young to give birth. We still have to be careful."
"Zhi Xiu has been delayed for so many years, one or two years won't make a difference."
The old lady's nagging made Su Qingyu's eyes red. There were not many mothers-in-law in the capital who were so devoted to their daughters-in-law.
From past life to present life, the old lady had never made things difficult for her.
Su Qingyu held the old lady's hand and said, "Mother, you must take care of yourself. When we have a child, you will have to teach me how to raise it."
When the old lady heard this, her eyes narrowed with laughter.
"Just give birth to the child, don't worry about raising it. I'm not old yet, and I can still help you."
The old lady's heart melted when she thought of the delicate and beautiful children, the boy looked like Shen Zhixiu and the girl looked like Su Qingyu.
When Shen Yue came in with ginseng tea, she saw the old lady smiling from ear to ear.
"Grandma really does care about Third Aunt. She's so happy when Third Aunt comes."
The old lady looked at Shen Yue lovingly, "You little heartless thing, the one I care about most is you."
He then whispered to Su Qingyu, "Chen Yue's marriage must be finalized as soon as possible. You should also think about it and see which young man is suitable."
Su Qingyu thought of Chen's poisoning and agreed to the old lady's words, "Don't worry, mother. I will go back and discuss it with the Third Master. He has been out and about more, so he is more familiar with the young masters in the capital."
While the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were chatting and joking, the second wife Yang and Li Chaoyun walked in one after another.
Li Chaoyun greeted the old lady and Su Qingyu when he entered the house, and chatted with them about family matters. He was respectful and polite to the old lady and the two aunts, and was also warm and kind to Shen Yue.
She also told Shen Yue that although her mother had gone to the farm to recuperate, she was still her elder sister-in-law. She told Shen Yue to go to her if she had any problems.
Su Qingyu watched coldly from the side, thinking to herself, no wonder the emperor favored Li Chaoyun; she was truly no simple creature. Especially after their marriage, she had become much more cautious in her words and actions. Even the combined cunning of the other members of the first house couldn't compare to the cunning of this princess.
At this time, Li Chaoyun was talking to the old lady about Chen Wu.
"Grandma, I didn't tell my eldest sister that mother had gone to the farm. She was in the early stages of her confinement after giving birth, and her health was very important. I only said that mother had returned to her own courtyard and was confined there. I thought we could keep it a secret for a while."
"As for the Rong family, I'll go there soon. I'll explain everything to Uncle Rong and prepare the necessary gifts. I don't think the Rong family will say anything more."
