Shen Zhixiu really did as he said and did nothing.
Just when Su Qingyu couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to do something for him, Shen Zhixiu got up and went to the bathroom behind the study.
Soon, the sound of water was heard.
Su Qingyu lay there motionless, the corners of her red eyes slightly raised, and there was a lingering lustful look between her eyebrows.
After coming out of the bathroom, Shen Zhixiu changed into a light-colored casual suit. He glanced at Su Qingyu, whose cheeks were blushing, walked over and said, "Why is your face still so red? What are you thinking about?"
Su Qingyu pursed her lips and glared at him, as if her secrets had been exposed.
"It's all your fault." She said angrily.
Shen Zhixiu sat down and hugged her, chuckling and asking, "Do you blame your husband for seducing you?"
Su Qingyu turned her head away and refused to look at her.
Ever since she got pregnant, Shen Zhixiu had been restraining herself all day, always managing to pull herself back from the brink. This had irritated her...
I know she is very shy, especially in matters like this.
Shen Zhixiu could only talk about something else to change the subject.
"Second brother has found someone for Chen Hongxiang, and we are just waiting for the final decision."
"Second Aunt wanted to come over and discuss this with you, but she was afraid of disturbing your rest."
Su Qingyu asked curiously, "Whose girl is she?"
Shen Zhixiu smiled and said, "She's the girl from the Xie family, Xie Huanci. Did you meet her last time at Huguo Temple?"
Su Qingyu thought of the girl from the Xie family and started laughing too.
"It's the girl from the Xie family. This is a good match. She has a good temperament and good upbringing."
Most of the daughters of the Xie family married into noble families, and rarely married into the powerful.
Seeing that she was very interested in talking about this matter, Shen Zhixiu said a few more words, "This marriage was proposed by Shen Hong himself."
"My second brother asked someone to privately inquire about the Xie family's opinion. Since the third master was not in Beijing, he even wrote a letter to ask for his opinion."
"This afternoon, Mr. Xie San Taiye sent a letter back to Beijing, agreeing to this marriage."
Su Qingyu leaned on the soft pillow beside her, a smile on her face, "This is a happy event. Once it's decided, we'll celebrate it properly."
Shen Zhixiu was about to respond when there was a knock on the door. Knowing that it was Wenzhu who had something to report, Shen Zhixiu stood up and walked out.
Soon he walked in again and said, "Today is a double celebration. The Song family has sent word that they have accepted the Qin family's marriage proposal."
Su Qingyu's eyes sparkled, "Must the Moon God appear these past two days? Why are there always such happy events?"
Shen Zhixiu said, "I have to go to the Qin family. When I come back, we will have dinner together."
Su Qingyu gestured for him to go first while she went to the second room.
Shen Hong had already arranged a marriage, and as her third aunt, she couldn't just pretend she didn't know. She should go ask if there was anything she could do to help, and then discuss the rest of the matter with her second sister-in-law.
In the past two days, she has learned the dietary taboos and vomited much less. In addition, she is no longer the housekeeper and is carefully cared for all day long, so she is much more energetic than before.

The next day, after the court meeting, the Second Prince left the palace and hurried after Song Zan, the Marquis of Loyalty. He wanted to tell Song Zan that the Emperor had already issued an edict to appoint Rong Jin as a concubine, and that his marriage to the Song family should be finalized.
But before he could say a few words to Song Zan, Song Zan hurried away on the pretext of having something to do.
The second prince was surprised and wondered what urgent matter the Marquis of Loyalty had.
Just when I was wondering whether I should go to the Song family, I heard the sound of court officials chatting.
"I heard that the third son of the Qin family and the eldest daughter of the Song family are engaged? Is it true?"
"It hasn't been decided yet, but the tokens and engagement cards have been exchanged. I heard that it was Mr. Shen who acted as the matchmaker."
Shen Zhixiu happened to come out at this time, and someone took the opportunity to ask about the marriage between the Qin and Song families. Shen Zhixiu did not elaborate, only saying that the Marquis of Zhongyi and the Duke of Zhenguo would definitely treat everyone to a wedding banquet.
The meaning of the words is self-evident.
The second prince was shocked. He had just agreed on this matter with the Song family two days ago.
How is it possible that Song Wanwan is engaged to Qin Yuan?
He no longer hesitated, left the palace, got on the carriage and headed for the Song family.
Hearing that the second prince had arrived, Song Zan took Song Hongshen out to greet him.
"The Prince of Pingxi has come to visit us. I apologize for not welcoming you from afar. Your Highness, please forgive me."
"The prince has come in person, but is there something wrong?"
Song Zan seemed to have no idea why the Second Prince came to the Song family. He bowed respectfully and asked politely.
After saying that, he invited the second prince to the hall for tea.
But the Second Prince did not move. He asked, "Is the eldest Miss Song planning to discuss marriage with the third young master of the Qin family?"
Song Zan smiled upon hearing this and said, "Your Highness is really well-informed. This was decided last night."
"When they get married, Your Highness must come and have a drink at the wedding."
Song Zan's face was filled with joy as he spoke, like an old father who was happy that his daughter had found a good home.
The Second Prince's heart was filled with anger, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Why did my uncle go back on his word? Didn't we agree that as long as Cousin Wan is the principal wife, the marriage can go on as usual?"
Song Zan was confused. "What does your highness mean? When did we agree on this?"
The Second Prince was stunned. Song Zan had indeed not said a single word of promise that day. But people like them were not known to speak openly. What did Song Zan mean? Could he have misunderstood?
"My uncle said that day that Cousin Wan would not be a concubine. I have already asked my father to appoint Rong Jin as a concubine for her sake. My uncle suddenly changed his mind. Shouldn't he give me an explanation?"
Song Zan looked at the Second Prince helplessly, "Your Highness, have you misunderstood? I said that the daughter of the Song family would not be a concubine, but I also did not agree to marry Your Highness."
"The incident between His Highness and Miss Rong that day was known to everyone. How could the Song family possibly agree to this marriage?"
