After Li Yunzhou left, Shen Zhixiu spread out the paper and began to grind the ink.
Then he whispered to Su Qingyu, "I have something to deal with. Please wait for me for a while, and then we will go back together."
Su Qingyu signaled him to go ahead and do his thing, she would just wait here.
Shen Zhixiu finished grinding the ink and looked up to see Su Qingyu smiling foolishly at the tea in her hand.
After he wrote a letter, he looked up and found Su Qingyu smiling at the bonsai.
After a while, he saw Su Qingyu sitting opposite him, smiling at him.
Shen Zhixiu put down his pen and looked at her lovingly, "You've been smiling?"
Su Qingyu smiled brightly and freely.
He casually fiddled with the white jade paperweight in his hand and said, "Happy."
She felt like a huge stone had been lifted from her chest, and she felt relaxed and happy. She wanted not only to laugh herself, but also to make everyone in the capital laugh with her, wishing the whole world could celebrate together.
After Shen Zhixiu finished the work at hand, he took Su Qingyu's hand and walked towards the inner courtyard.
The sky had completely darkened, and the octagonal lantern swayed slightly in the wind, casting a half-bright, half-dark circle of light.
"Don't tell anyone about this for now. He's going to the city the day after tomorrow anyway, so today won't make any difference."
"Let him secure his position as Prince Ning first, then we can plan other things."
Shen Zhixiu whispered in a soft voice.
Su Qingyu suddenly asked, "When the truth comes out and the Emperor knows my brother's true background, will he blame me?"
My brother can't always have the surname Li. Sooner or later, he will have to return to his ancestral home. Whenever Su Qingyu thought of this, she felt unbalanced. The Su family didn't pay anything, but they got a child and grandchild like my brother for nothing. It was really unfair.
But if she and her mother wanted to have an open relationship with her brother, her brother had to recognize his ancestral roots.
Shen Zhixiu chuckled softly and said, "Blame? If anyone is to blame, it can only be Princess Yongjia and Li Jingchuan. They were the ones who pushed Yunzhou into that position."
"When the truth comes out, Yunzhou will be a victim too. He was kept in the dark and just found out the truth."
Su Qingyu couldn't wait to see what the expressions of the Li family would be on the day her brother returned to Beijing.
The two of them walked into the inner room hand in hand, one after the other. As soon as they entered, Shen Zhixiu turned around and put his arms around Su Qingyu's waist.
“Qingqing…”
His cool, thin lips covered her delicate red lips.
Pearl and the others lowered their heads, retreated, and closed the door of the inner room.
Su Qingyu responded to his kiss and asked in a delicate voice, "Third Master...what are you going to do?"
Shen Zhixiu reached out and patted her under the waist. His voice was hoarse and revealed an indescribable desire.
"You know the answer but you still ask."
"Qingqing, your husband has been a monk for a month..."
There was even a hint of grievance.
Su Qingyu had been in a bad mood ever since Li Yunzhou's accident. Shen Zhixiu had never made excessive demands and always coaxed and patted her to sleep every night.
Su Qingyu's heart softened when she heard him say that. Furthermore, when her feelings were strong, she leaned against him and said, "Then I'll compensate Third Master."
This was the most regrettable thing she had said tonight.
When Shen Zhixiu heard about the compensation, he naturally took advantage of it and did things today that he was not allowed to do on normal days.
Whenever Su Qingyu protested, he acted aggrieved and said, "Qingqing said she would compensate me, doesn't that count?"
Su Qingyu had no choice but to let him do as he pleased.
Su Qingyu had no idea when she went to bed, but when she woke up, it was already past the time for greeting.
Su Qingyu lay on the bed, thinking of the details of last night, and rolled around in shame.
Then he patted his hot face and got up and changed his clothes seriously.
Fortunately, Shen Zhixiu had already washed her clean before going to bed last night, which saved her a lot of trouble.
After breakfast, she asked Feicui to prepare the car as she wanted to go back to the Su family.
She still had to go and inquire in person about the marriage that took place in the Hall of Supreme Harmony yesterday.
In addition, before her brother returns to his ancestral home, she also has to help him clean up the Su family.
The last time she returned to the Su family was after Su Xiangling had an accident, when the old lady called her and Su Shunci back.
After entering the mansion, Su Qingyu heard that her two aunts were in Songhe Hall, so she also went to Songhe Hall.
If her predictions were correct, the Marquis of Loyalty would have quietly come to the Su family last night to arrange the marriage. If this were to get out, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and he would never give anyone a handle.
Now that my fifth sister has such a good marriage, my grandmother’s attitude towards my third uncle’s family should change, right?
But when she walked to the door of the main house in Qingyuanju, she heard her grandmother's voice coming from inside.
"Such a big thing, why didn't you discuss it? You really don't take an old woman like me seriously."
Then came the sarcastic voice of Second Madam He, "Since he has climbed up the social ladder, it's natural that he doesn't take his mother seriously."
"How come this marriage was decided so quickly? Did something embarrassing happen? She has no shame, but our Su family still has some dignity."
Hai was immediately furious. "How could Second Sister-in-law say such nonsense? Zhilan is just a young girl, yet Second Sister-in-law treats her like this? Who is so shameless?"
He then explained to the old lady in a deep voice, "Mother, we are Zhilan's biological parents. We arranged her marriage because we thought the Song family was a good family, and Song Hongshen was a rare and good man. We didn't discuss it with you because you haven't been feeling well these days, and we were afraid of disturbing your rest."
Hai Shi valued rules and filial piety, but it also depended on the matter. She could set the rules for the old lady, because she was the daughter-in-law of the Su family.
But the two children are her lifeblood, and no one can touch them.
Regardless of the details of Su Zhilan's marriage, it was now settled, and she was extremely satisfied. So when the old lady said this to He, it was like stepping on Hai's bottom line.
Hai rarely spoke to the old lady like this, and the only times she did were because of the children.
The old lady was already unhappy, and when she heard her say that, she immediately scolded her.
"Don't say these high-sounding words. If it were you, I would say you just don't take me seriously."
"When we discuss the marriage again, I will talk to the Song family in person. The betrothal gift cannot be less."
Su Qingyu stood at the door, her brows furrowed and her expression gloomy.
What on earth is grandma thinking? With the current status of the Su family, marrying into the Song family would be such a great opportunity.
Did she still want to ask for a betrothal gift from the Song family? No wealthy family would ask for a betrothal gift. If the news got out, they would be laughed at to death.
But when Su Qingyu walked in and saw the scene inside, she suddenly understood why her grandmother reacted that way.
