After all, she had been serving Su Qingyu since she was a child, so the tone of Pearl calling Amber was as affectionate as before.
Amber turned her head, was stunned for a moment, then ran forward.
"The young lady is back, come in quickly, it's cold outside."
Since getting married, Su Qingyu seldom returned to the Su family, and even less so to Bishui Pavilion.
After Amber came in, she started to bustle around, making tea and instructing people to bring snacks.
Su Qingyu called her over and said softly, "Don't be busy. I'm here to give you your dowry."
As he said that, he told Zhenzhu and the others to hand the things over.
Amber's eyes fell on a row of dowry boxes, and her eyes suddenly felt sore.
With a thud, he knelt in front of Su Qingyu.
"Thank you for your concern, Miss."
Su Qingyu gestured for Zhenzhu to help her get up, then said, "These dowries are for your support, to let Second Uncle Lin know that I value you. Secondly, they are for your safety, so that if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you will have some emergency funds."
"Marry her with peace of mind. I know the character of Uncle Lin and his wife. They are both honest and dutiful. If you have any difficulties in the future, come to the Shen family to find me. You guys have been with me for a long time, and I will never leave you alone."
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Amber's eyes were filled with tears, but Pearl and the others also started wiping their eyes.
Pearl said in a muffled voice, "If I don't marry, I will follow Madam."
Su Qingyu smiled and glared at Zhenzhu, wanting to say something, but seeing that there were quite a few people in the room, she swallowed her words back.
Nothing has been decided yet, so it’s better not to tease this girl in front of so many people.
After the dowry was given and all the necessary instructions were given, Su Qingyu stood up and prepared to go to Elm Hutong.
She had sent the New Year gifts, but she hadn't arrived yet. It was too late, and her mother would inevitably worry.
Just as I was about to walk out of the inner room, I heard Amber suddenly speak.
"Madam, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should tell you."
Su Qingyu stopped and returned to the inner room. Of the servants, only Zhenzhu remained by her side, while the rest filed out.
She looked at Amber and said, "What do you want to say? Tell me."
Amber took two steps forward and whispered, "It's about Aunt Zeng. I found something amiss."
Su Qingyu was a little surprised. Although Hubo served her in the past and stayed in the Su family, she never asked her to pay attention to the movements in the mansion, nor did she let the maids come to her to inquire about the news.
Because she was about to get married, Su Qingyu didn't want her to be involved in the affairs of the inner house.
Su Qingyu sat down on the mahogany armchair and motioned Amber to tell her what was going on.
Amber whispered, "I once saw... Concubine Zeng having a tryst with someone."
Su Qingyu was not surprised at all. Her father drank the sterilizing drug and Aunt Zeng became pregnant, so it was not surprising that Aunt Zeng had a secret meeting with someone.
She had never doubted Mr. Zhou's medicine. After all, he was a miraculous doctor of the time, and this medicine could not be wrong.
"How did you find out? Did you see clearly who the other person was?" Su Qingyu asked again.
Amber hesitated for a moment, then said sheepishly, "Lin Changsheng has sent me things several times, always at the corner gate at night."
"I was afraid of being discovered by others in the mansion, so I went to get it quietly at night."
"One time, I arrived first and saw the servants beside Concubine Zeng lead that person in. The person was wearing a green Taoist robe. I thought Concubine Zeng wanted to find someone to perform a ritual, so I didn't pay much attention."
"A few days later, I saw them in...an abandoned room near the corner gate. Their clothes were disheveled, and they were lying together."
Amber risked being punished to say this to Su Qingyu. Zeng Yi Niang was certainly wrong, but she had also met with other men at the corner gate several times and had sex with them privately, which was also a serious mistake.
Su Qingyu was attracted by the words "blue Taoist robe" mentioned by Amber, and remembered the Taoist priest who had met Su Chengyan before. She had asked Wenzhu to look for him before, but he was unsuccessful, so she stopped looking.
There shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?
Seeing that Su Qingyu hadn't spoken for a long time, Amber thought she was angry. She knelt on the ground and said, "Please forgive me, my lady. I know I was wrong."
Su Qingyu finally came to her senses and signaled Amber to stand up.
Then he asked, "Today is the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month. Shouldn't you leave home and prepare for your marriage?"
Amber replied, "I am a house-born child. My parents both work at the mansion. That's why I can stay here until I get married. If you have anything to say, please let me know."
Su Qingyu thought for a moment and said, "Then you should be alert these days. If you find them having a secret meeting again, send someone to the Shen family to find me."
Amber agreed solemnly and said that she would definitely take care of the matter.
After leaving the Su family, Su Qingyu went directly to Yushu Hutong.
When they entered, Lin Wanyin and Bai Sulian were watching the servants measuring Su Shunci's height and waist size.
Bai Sulian grumbled, "The clothes I made for you for the New Year more than a month ago are too small now. I have to make new ones."
Lin Wanyin smiled and said, "She is in the growth stage now. She has grown a lot in the past six months."
Su Shunci was cheerful, "I would rather make clothes once a month and pray to God to make me taller."
Su Qingyu couldn't help laughing and walked in.
"You're only fourteen after the New Year, you can still grow taller."
When Su Shunci saw Su Qingyu finally coming, she smiled and dimples appeared on her face.
"Big sister, you don't know, but there are a lot of new clothing styles coming out in Jiangnan recently. They look better on tall people."
"I wish I could keep growing taller, ideally as tall as my older sister."
