Without waiting for the two to ask questions, Su Qingyu told them what happened in Songhe Hall today.
Then he said to Su Chengxun, "Third uncle also knows that there have been a lot of troubles in the mansion in the past six months. It's a mess."
"We can't let our family continue like this, so today I persuaded my grandmother to leave the family home to my third uncle and aunt from now on."
Su Chengxun also knew the situation at home, and it would be a lie to say that he was not anxious.
Hearing this, he sighed, "Uncle San didn't expect you to still have such a heart for your family. I'm just worried about your grandmother..."
Su Chengxun knew what the old lady was like better than anyone else.
Let’s not talk about anything else, Housekeeper Hai, wouldn’t the old lady be looking for trouble all day long?
If the family continues to be in chaos, the couple will probably never have a peaceful life again.
The awkward thing was that he wasn't the old lady's biological son, so there were many things he couldn't say. Secretly, he wanted to separate the family.
Hai and Su Chengxun had the same idea, always feeling that this family was not so easy to manage.
Su Qingyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Third Aunt, I will teach you some tricks to ensure that Grandmother will not say anything and will be kind and gentle to you."
"Third uncle and third aunt also know that Yuan Yi is the only one who can support the Su family now."
"Let's work together to restore the Su family to its former glory."
Of course, Su Qingyu also had her own selfish motives. In the future, the Su family would be her brother's best support, and of course, it would also be a support for her and Ah Ci.
Su Chengxun is also a descendant of the Su family, so what Su Qingyu said is what he hopes for.
"Then listen to Qingyu. The method you just mentioned..."
Su Qingyu whispered, "Aunt, wait for my news. I will help you run the Su family's shop. For the time being, you should take control of the inner house. Anyone who doesn't listen to you or follow your rules will be sold."
"After the shop is back on track, Aunt San will do this..."
After Su Qingyu finished speaking, Su Chengxun and Hai's eyes lit up.
As long as the old lady can be controlled, there is no need to worry about anyone else in the mansion.
Before leaving, Su Qingyu took out another silver note of five thousand taels and handed it to Hai.
"Third Aunt, please keep this banknote. You can use it to buy anything for the mansion."
"Don't let them embarrass you because of money."
Hai wanted to refuse, but Su Chengxun said, "Take it. Qingyu is doing this for the good of the Su family. Let's work together."
Then he said to Hai: "Madam, please tell me more about the affairs of the inner house in the future. I can also help you with some advice. Qingyu is right. We can't go on like this."
Su Chengxun suddenly felt a bit of fighting spirit. If he could really revive the Su family, he would be worthy of his father's teachings.
After leaving the Su family, Su Qingyu went to find Su Shunci. She explained to her for a long time how to help Hai's run the shop. Su Shunci agreed to all the requests and planned to do it herself.
Before leaving Huajin Pavilion, Su Shunci suddenly grabbed Su Qingyu's sleeve.
"Big sister, tomorrow is the day my brother's coffin will be brought back to the capital. Big sister, would you like to go and greet him?"
With Su Qingyu's status, she could have gone out of the city to welcome him, but she didn't have the status to go, so she could only wait in the city.
After the coffin enters the city, it will be placed in the Li family's mourning hall, and she can only watch from afar.
Su Qingyu gently rubbed Su Shunci's head and said, "Just wait at home. I'll go and pick up my brother and bring him back to Beijing tomorrow."
Su Shunci thought that her elder sister must be extremely sad, so she was wearing a concealed smile.

The next morning, Su Qingyu and Shen Yue put on plain clothes and planned to leave the city to welcome the coffins of Li Yunzhou and Zhang Pan into Beijing.
Today, officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites are welcoming you at the city gate.
Chen Yue wanted to go to the Ten-Li Pavilion. She was thinking, if her brother Yunzhou's soul also came back, would he be the first to see her?
Su Qingyu felt sorry for him, but she didn't dare to tell Shen Yue the truth. If someone with ulterior motives knew about it, their Shen family would have known that Li Yunzhou was not dead, which would be another trouble.
However, according to her brother's plan, it was not wrong for Shen Yue to go to Shili Changting to pick him up.
In this way, the two of them rode out of the city in a carriage and went to the Ten-Li Pavilion. Following behind them was a team of guards led by Jiang Qi.
I thought everyone else was waiting at the city gate, but I didn't expect that when the two of us arrived at the Ten-Li Pavilion, the old lady of the Zhang family was also there.
The one who was talking to the old lady of the Zhang family was Li Chaoyun. It seemed that the two had been there for a while.
Yes, how could Li Chaoyun let go of this opportunity to gain the emperor's favor?
Su Qingyu accompanied Shen Yue and stood on the other side of the pavilion. She only bowed to Old Lady Zhang as a greeting.
Similarly, Li Chaoyun also bowed to her. Su Qingyu nodded, accepting the gesture.
She held Shen Yue's shoulder with one hand, and they both looked towards the official road.
Seeing that Shen Yue was unaware of the truth, she looked into the distance with tears in her eyes, without blinking.
Su Qingyu gently advised: "Don't think too much about it. The coffin returned is empty. Maybe the person is fine."
Fortunately, Li Yunzhou and Zhang Pan will return to Beijing today, otherwise she might not be able to help but tell Shen Yue the truth.
From the moment the two of them arrived at the Ten-Li Pavilion, the old lady of the Zhang family had been looking at Chen Yue with a squinting look, her eyes filled with gloom and coldness.
Shen Yue and Su Qingyu ignored her. It was not convenient for them to go up and argue with the old lady, so they could only pretend not to see anything.
But Old Lady Zhang felt unsatisfied and said, "Since your fate is bad, why don't you go to the mountains to practice and atone for your sins? Why are you still coming out?"
"My pity for my grandson. He should never have gotten engaged to the Shen family."
"This marriage is inevitable, and you even lost your life. You are a jinx, killing two people at once. How can the Shen family still tolerate you?"
Su Qingyu was furious and was about to step forward to argue. But she was stopped by Shen Yue, "Aunt, it's pitiful that she lost her grandson. She just scolded me a few times. If it makes you feel better, let her scold me."
After Zhang Pan died in the Northern Frontier, Shen Yue thought about what she had said to him countless times. She felt extremely regretful when she thought that Zhang Pan might have gone to the border town battlefield because of those words.
She was afraid that she had killed Zhang Pan, and she would never be at peace with herself for the rest of her life.
So she accepted the scolding from Old Lady Zhang. She also didn't want Third Aunt to have a conflict with Old Lady Zhang because of her.
When the news got back to the capital, people would just say that Third Aunt was ignorant.
But when Old Lady Zhang saw Shen Yue like this, she thought she was guilty and continued to cry and scold.
"My grandson has a pity on himself. His life is ruined by this unlucky star."
"How can you let Grandma live? Grandma knew this would happen and would never arrange a marriage for you in the Shen family."
Su Qingyu ignored Shen Yue's obstruction and walked directly to Old Lady Zhang.
He shouted loudly: "Madam Zhang, if you want to talk about having a tough life, I think you are the one with the toughest life in Beijing."
"Otherwise, how could several generations of the Zhang family die on the battlefield, and you are the only one alive? In this way, you are more like a jinx."
Afraid that Old Lady Zhang couldn't hear her, Su Qingyu almost shouted into her ear.
