Before dinner, Shen Zhixiu and Su Qingyu went to Qingyuanju.
When the two entered, the old lady was lying on the kang by the window, awake but listless.
She was muttering to Aunt Hua, "I don't know what Yue'er ate tonight. I spoiled her so much that she's a bit picky about food."
Aunt Hua consoled her, "Look, this old servant, His Royal Highness Prince Ning loves our Third Miss deeply. You're just being too concerned, so take care of yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhixiu and Su Qingyu walked in one after another.
Aunt Hua stood up and saluted, "Greetings to the Third Master and the Third Madam."
When the old lady heard that her son and daughter-in-law had arrived, she wanted to get up.
Shen Zhixiu personally stepped forward and helped the old lady up.
Su Qingyu picked up the large pillow with auspicious cloud patterns beside her and placed it behind her.
"Mother, you've been thinking about Yue'er all day, right? I'm accompanying her back to the Su family today. Don't worry, mother, everything is fine."
Su Qingyu said this softly, then took the warm water from Nanny Hua's hand and handed it over.
The old lady took it and drank two sips, then said, "It's not that I'm worried, it's just that I feel empty inside."
Shen Yue is the brother who married Su Qingyu, and the Su family is Su Qingyu's family. The old lady was afraid that Su Qingyu would think too much, so she explained.
Su Qingyu smiled and said, "Don't even mention mother. When I returned home today, I felt that this mansion was deserted."
"Fortunately, it will be convenient for you to come back in the future. My mother and brother will never make things difficult for Yue'er and prevent her from returning to her parents' home to see you."
The old lady patted Su Qingyu's hand and said, "Fortunately, she is marrying into Prince Ning's mansion. If she had married into another family, I would be more worried."
In order to divert the old lady's attention, Su Qingyu talked about Chen Yue's return home tomorrow.
She took out the menu she had prepared earlier from her bosom and asked the old lady to take a look.
"Mother, please take a look and see if there is anything wrong. This is the first time I'm in charge of the return of a young lady from the mansion, so please help me with my opinion."
Shen Zhixiu glanced at Su Qingyu with a smile, then sat aside, drinking tea without saying a word. Actually, she handled these matters very well, and she had her own plans in mind. She only said this to appease the old lady.
The old lady took the menu and looked at it carefully.
Su Qingyu's arrangement was very good, with several dishes that were Shen Yue's favorites. The other dishes were also perfectly matched.
But when people get older, they always want to prove that they are still useful.
The old lady looked at it for a long time and said, "It's hot, add two more plates of cold fruits and bring them up with the dishes."
“I’m too old to eat it, but the kids love it.”
In fact, Guozi Su Qingyu had also made arrangements, but it was not written here.
But she still took the old lady's arm and said, "It's really mother who thinks things through. With mother in charge of the family, I feel much more at ease."
Knowing that Su Qingyu was trying to coax her, the old lady still smiled and said, "I'm still in good health and can still help you for two years."
Before coming to Qingyuanju, Shen Zhixiu sent people to the first and second houses to pass on a message.
Soon, Xiangdong arrived with the fifth young master, Chen Cheng, and the second wife, He, also arrived with the fourth young master, Momo, and the sixth young lady, Chen Qian.
The fourth young master is thirteen years old this year. He used to be in poor health and could not stand the wind or fatigue. Over the past year, Mr. Zhou has helped him take care of his health, and he has improved.
Before dinner, Shen Zhishu and the second young master Shen Hong hurried back.
Except for the third young master Shen Xi who is studying in the academy, all the younger generations of the Shen family are here today.
With the family and grandchildren accompanying her, the old lady felt much better.
After the meal, everyone chatted for a while before dispersing.
After returning to the west courtyard, Shen Zhixiu went directly to the study, while Su Qingyu returned to the inner room of the main house.
Before entering the house, she specifically called Jiang Qi and whispered, "Go to Shuntian Mansion and release that Taoist Priest Yuan."
"Send someone to keep an eye on him. When he goes to look for Aunt Zeng, tell me."
After giving instructions to Jiang Qi, Su Qingyu went in to take a shower and change clothes.
While removing the hairpins from Su Qingyu's head, Zhenzhu asked, "Madam, are you planning to expose Concubine Zeng's affairs?"
The little girl's eyes were full of excitement, and she couldn't suppress the smile at the corners of her lips.
Jade took the jewelry from Pearl's hand and put it in the box.
He joked, "Madam, if you get the news and go back to the Marquis' Mansion, you must bring her with you. If she doesn't see it with her own eyes, I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep well."
Pearl stamped her foot and said, "I don't believe you don't want to know."
Jade had no interest in these things, but she didn't want to spoil Pearl's interest, so she smiled and said, "I want to know too. Let's ask Madam to take us with her."

The next day, not long after breakfast, Su Yuanzhou came back with Shen Yue.
A large cart of return gifts, from the old lady to the children, were all carefully prepared by Lin Wanyin and were very valuable.
Of course, the Shen family does not covet these things, but from the return gift, it can be seen that Lin Wanyin values Shen Yue.
According to the rules, when the son-in-law comes to visit, several masters and young masters should accompany him in the outer courtyard.
However, Su Yuanzhou had always had a close relationship with the Shen family and was Su Qingyu's biological brother. Therefore, the old lady had decided that the whole family would dine at Qingyuan Residence today.
Su Qingyu and Yang prepared the meal together, while the old lady took Shen Yue to the inner room and cried.
Several little ones surrounded Su Yuanzhou, calling him brother-in-law one by one.
Chen Cheng asked about what happened on the battlefield, and Chen Mo listened attentively.
Su Yuanzhou simply told his brothers-in-law about the war.
Several children asked after a while: "Really? Brother-in-law didn't lie?"
After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "This Tartar is really hateful."
When Su Qingyu and Yang saw this scene, they couldn't help but laugh.
