At this time, Su Qingyu didn't care about Aunt Zeng's pregnancy. She was too lazy to worry about it whether it was a fake pregnancy or a cuckold.
The most important thing is to settle down Fourth Sister and Aunt Lian.
"Aunt Lian, it doesn't matter even if you leave the Su family. Not only is Fourth Sister capable, but I'm still here for you." Su Qingyu was afraid that she was burdened, so she comforted her first.
Since Bai Sulian decided to leave the house with her daughter, she was ready to deal with anything. She had always been a bit soft-hearted, but for her daughter, she had been thinking about how to support their small family.
Knowing that Su Qingyu was trying to comfort her, Bai Sulian smiled and said, "Miss, don't worry about me. I'm an okay embroiderer. At the very least, some embroidery work is enough for us mother and daughter to live on."
Su Qingyu hurriedly said, "Now that we've left the Su family, Aunt Lian doesn't have to call me Miss anymore. Just call me by my name." Then she turned to Su Shunci and said, "Let's go. I'll get you settled first."
Su Shunci didn't want to cause her too much trouble. She had already troubled her elder sister enough. She had made the decision to leave the Su family, so she naturally had to work hard to deal with the consequences.
If she acts on impulse and has to rely on her elder sister for everything, what kind of person will she be?
So Su Shunci refused and said, "Big sister, don't worry about us. I have already made plans. Auntie and I will live in the shop first."
"When I'm free these few days, I'll go out and see if I can buy a small house."
Su Qingyu understood what she meant. The more sensible her sister was, the more distressed she felt for her.
"How can you live in a shop? Nothing is convenient here. You should go live in Elm Alley. Even though Mother isn't back, we have servants ready."
Seeing that Su Shunci wanted to refuse, Su Qingyu continued, "Just think of it as helping mother look after the house. When mother comes back, you can also keep her company."
"Aunt Lian, don't you want to live with your mother? You can talk to her normally."
Su Qingyu's words moved Bai Sulian very much. Over the past ten years, she had never relied on Su Chengye in the mansion, but on the mistress Lin Wanyin.
But Bai Sulian still glanced at Su Shunci. She decided to listen to her daughter on this matter. Her daughter was now knowledgeable, had a broad vision, and had her own opinions on how to deal with people. She couldn't help much, so she just asked her not to cause trouble for her daughter.
Su Shunci thought about it for a moment and felt that refusing again would seem unkind and hypocritical. So she nodded and said, "Then I'll listen to you, big sister."
Su Qingyu rubbed her head and said, "Now you are obedient."
Afterwards, he arranged for the mother and daughter to live in Elm Alley. He told the servants that Madam Lian was the mistress of the courtyard and that they must serve her well.
After settling the mother and daughter, Su Qingyu returned to the Shen family. When she entered the house, Shen Zhixiu had just returned.
He hurried into the inner room, but found nothing.
So when he saw Su Qingyu coming in from outside, he sighed sadly, "Why didn't you wait for me to come back?"
Su Qingyu glared at him unhappily, then sat in front of the dressing table and took off her jewelry hairpin.
"The Third Master is not serious."
Shen Zhixiu hugged her from behind and looked at the person inside through the bronze mirror.
Her profile was cool yet charming, her neck long and fair. With the corners of her eyes slightly raised and her lips pursed in a smile, she had a kind of refreshing beauty.
"I was much more frivolous than this last night. You don't have this attitude."
Su Qingyu casually replied, "What's my attitude?"
She regretted it the moment she said it, biting her lower lip and looking at him through the bronze mirror, her eyes threatening.
But the more she did this, the more Shen Zhixiu wanted to say it.
His face was buried in the crook of her neck, and the hot breath from his words fell directly on her ears.
"You kept begging me last night when I was being naughty. Have you forgotten?"
"You said... you just like me being immoral."
"How come you're not admitting it after putting on the clothes? I've given you my innocence, you can't abandon your husband."
Su Qingyu's face twisted with laughter. "A husband who shared the hardships of life? Third Master's description of himself is really accurate. At Third Master's age, it's appropriate to say so."
Shen Zhixiu's smile froze on his face. "Qingqing, do you think I'm old? Were you not satisfied yesterday? I'm still okay now..."
When Su Qingyu heard this, she immediately wanted to stand up and break free from his arms, but he held her tighter.
When the two were in a stalemate, they heard the servant's report from outside the door.
"Third Master, Madam, the Third Miss requests to see you."
Taking advantage of Shen Zhixiu's distraction, Su Qingyu broke free from his arms and straightened her clothes. "Miss, please have some tea in the banquet room first. Master San and I will be leaving soon."
After saying that, he helped Shen Zhi straighten his wrinkled clothes.
Shen Zhixiu was just teasing her, so he naturally stopped making a fuss. He casually asked, "Are you leaving the house today for something? Are you going back to the Su family to see your grandmother?"
Su Qingyu briefly explained why Su Shunci and Concubine Lian were driven out of the house. After listening, Shen Zhixiu said, "There's nothing wrong with this. Living a simple life outside will make both mother and daughter feel happier."
Then she laughed and said, "Grandma is taking out all her frustrations on Fourth Auntie. She thought she was easy to control, but she actually hit a tough nut."
Su Qingyu thought of the Su family's troubles and snorted unhappily, "From top to bottom, this family is confused. This beam, I think it has been crooked since my grandmother."
The two of them talked as they left the bedroom and went to the banquet room to meet Shen Yue.
After Shen Yue greeted him, she walked over to Shen Zhixiu and asked, "Third Uncle, is there any news about Brother Yunzhou?"
Shen Zhixiu looked at Shen Yue with a half-smile, "You've been wanting to ask this for a long time, right?"
Shen Yue nodded embarrassedly and waited for his answer.
"He has just arrived in the Northern Frontier and no special news has been reported back to the capital." Shen Zhixiu replied.
