When only the mother and son were left in the room, the old lady looked at Shen Zhixiu, "What do you think about this? This marriage is off. Do you plan to continue marrying into the Shanjun Prince's Mansion, or look for girls from other families?"
Shen Zhixiu tapped his fingers on the table and said softly, "Even if the marriage is called off, we can still propose marriage again."
The old lady looked at him in surprise. Does he mean that he likes Su Qingyu?
In the past, he was always resistant to the topic of marriage. When discussing marriage with Prince Heshan's Mansion, he just said perfunctorily, "It's up to you."
It's really not easy to talk about re-proposing in such a serious manner.
Madam Shen smiled and said, "Since you think so, I will go to the Su family in person tomorrow to finalize this matter."
Shen Zhixiu suddenly remembered the indifferent look on Su Qingyu's face when she heard that the Shen family wanted to cancel the engagement.
He suddenly said, "Mother, don't go tomorrow. I'll... ask her again."
"It's better if she's willing."
The old lady gave Shen Zhixiu a sly look and asked, "What if she disagrees?"
Shen Zhixiu said without hesitation: "If you don't agree, forget it. Marriage is such a big deal that you can't force it."
If there is one person in the world who knows Shen Zhixiu best, it must be Old Madam Shen.
She gave him a meaningful look and said, "Then hurry up and ask and give me a definite answer."

Su Qingyu felt much more relieved. She focused on the shop's affairs these past two days and worked with other grain merchants to lower grain prices.
In just two days, the price of grain in the capital had dropped to two taels of silver per stone. As Shen Zhixiu had predicted, not a single grain could be transported out of the four gates of the capital.
Because food suddenly became cheaper, the people stopped looting and their faces were filled with joy at having survived a disaster.
That day, Su Qingyu took Su Shunci to the shop, intending to start teaching her how to deal with the shop owners.
Around noon, Su Shunci took Su Qingyu's hand and asked, "Big sister, they all say that the pork elbows at Ruyi Tower are delicious. Have you ever tried them?"
Su Qingyu couldn't help laughing, pinching Su Shunci's face and said, "Big sister hasn't eaten it either, so it's a good opportunity for us to try it at noon."
In the private room on the second floor of Ruyi Tower, Su Qingyu ordered all of Ruyi Tower's signature dishes.
When the waiter was serving the dishes, someone suddenly walked in behind him.
"Sister Qingyu, what a coincidence?"
