Shen Zhixiu: ...
How come the lady is now more informed than him?
Later, he asked Su Qingyu how she knew that, and Su Qingyu told him what happened between Mr. Zhou and Su Xiangling today.
Shen Zhixiu didn't say much at the time except for the coldness in his eyes.
He just told Su Qingyu to tell Wenzhu if there was anything.
Afterwards, he secretly instructed Wenzhu that all the spies in the palace could be used by the lady.
Su Qingyu had just returned to the west courtyard and changed her clothes when Jiang Qi came to ask for a meeting, saying that the Taoist priest had been interrogated clearly.
This Taoist Priest Yuan was the one who spoke to Su Chengyan at the city gate before.
It was clearly written in his confession that he was a liar. Not to mention the hexagram texts, he couldn't even recite a few lines of Taoist scriptures.
This man was originally from the capital, but later went to Jiangnan to commit fraud. He was particularly fond of defrauding young girls from wealthy families who were eager to marry into a wealthy family.
This time he returned to the capital to visit relatives. By chance, he got involved with Aunt Zeng and never returned to Jiangnan.
As for the lies he told Su Xiangling, he no longer remembered the details because he had deceived so many people.
However, Jiang Qi found several bamboo sticks with inscriptions on them. They all contained Taoist hexagrams, either good luck or bad luck.
Su Qingyu had a plan in mind and ordered Jiang Qixian to lock the man up in the dungeon at home.
On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Shen Zhixiu specially accompanied Su Qingyu to the Huguo Temple.
Su Qingyu originally wanted to meet Master Ci'en, but unexpectedly the young monk in the temple said that the master had gone out to travel yesterday.
She actually wanted to ask what Master Ci'en meant when he said: The marriage between the Su and Chen families can resolve the troubles of the two families.
The young monk seemed to see the regret on Su Qingyu's face and said, "The master left a message for me to pass on to the donor."
"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed, and there is no need to delve into everything."
Su Qingyu immediately became confused, always feeling that the marriage in her previous life, her rebirth, and her marriage in this life were all closely related to the Huguo Temple and Master Ci'en.
But it was obvious that the master didn't want to talk about it. Even when he went out to travel, it seemed like he was avoiding her.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shen Zhixiu and Su Qingyu went to Qingyuan Residence early in the morning to pay their respects. Today, everyone would accompany the old lady at Qingyuan Residence to eat Yuanxiao, symbolizing reunion.
When they reached the gate of Qingyuanju, they discovered that Shen Zhao and Li Chaoyun had already arrived.
Mr. and Mrs. Shen Zhao stopped, as if waiting for their uncle and aunt to go ahead.
Li Chaoyun was smiling, looking very happy. Su Qingyu knew that she was so happy because of the war in the northern border.
On the other hand, Shen Zhao also looked energetic, without any sign of being in a state of distress due to having to sell his property to make ends meet.
Su Qingyu felt more and more that something was wrong and was just waiting for news from Lin Wuchen.
