Su Qingyu was stunned for a moment and said, "That's impossible."
There was nothing like the word "love" between her and Shen Zhixiu.
Lin Wuchen continued to tease, "Then why did he take the initiative to ask to marry you? This is not his style."
Su Qingyu was stunned by Lin Wuchen's question, why did he marry her?
She suddenly remembered something she had overlooked.
These days, people in Beijing are saying that Master Shen San was lucky enough to survive after falling into the valley. They also say that Master Shen San spent two months recuperating from his injuries in the village below the valley before returning to Beijing.
But that day at the Shen family funeral, she had clearly run into him in the study, and he was fine. So...
Su Qingyu had a vague guess in her mind: was Shen Zhixiu afraid that she would tell others about his fake death?
While she was in a daze, Feicui came out from the inner room and said, "Miss, the fourth young lady has woken up. Should we go back to the mansion now?"
Su Qingyu nodded and said, "Help the fourth young lady get dressed."
After that, he instructed Lin Wuchen, "Everyone is distributing porridge outside the city now, so you must pay attention to safety issues. I have an idea, tell Mr. Shen San..."
Su Qingyu talked with Lin Wuchen for a quarter of an hour, and Feicui also came out with Su Shunci.
Su Qingyu walked over, touched Su Shunci's face, and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
Su Shunci shook her head. "It doesn't hurt anymore. Don't worry about me, big sister."
Su Qingyu suddenly took two steps back and looked at Su Shunci's new emerald green jacket and skirt embroidered with lotus petals and winding branches. "What's this dress?"
Lin Wuchen said: "Her dress was dirty, so I bought it from a ready-made clothing store."
Su Qingyu smiled and thanked him: "Third cousin is really thoughtful, thank you very much."
Su Shunci also stepped forward to thank Lin Wuchen and called him "third cousin".
Before they left, Lin Wuchen said to Su Qingyu, "There are more refugees outside the city now. Should we bring our aunt back? She's at the farm, and if anything happens, we won't be able to help her."
Su Qingyu was startled. She had neglected this matter. In her previous life, the refugees were all in the city, so things were fine outside the city. Now the refugees are all stationed outside the city, and if you are not careful, unrest will easily occur.
"Third Young Master, there were refugees outside the city who disturbed the people and have been suppressed by the government." A servant came running over to report.
Su Qingyu immediately became worried, "I'll go pick up my mother now."
Lin Wuchen stopped her and said, "Take Fourth Sister home, I'll go get my aunt."
Su Qingyu thought this was a good idea, so she took Su Shunci into the carriage.
"You've suffered a lot today. When you go back, lie down and rest for two days. You also need to take some more medicine." Su Qingyu put her arm around Su Shunci's shoulders and comforted him softly.
Su Shunci smiled up at her, dimples forming on her face. "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's just the kick that hurts."
Su Qingyu thought of Chen Zhao's kick, and hatred rose in her heart. She comforted Su Shunci, "He received fifty strokes of the cane, which is a relief for you. One day, I will personally avenge you."
Su Shunci kept staring at Su Qingyu, and when he saw her expression suddenly turn cold, he felt inexplicably distressed.
She blinked twice and touched Su Qingyu's face, "Big sister, you don't have to avenge me, and don't be angry."
Su Qingyu patted her shoulder and said, "Okay, big sister, don't be angry."
After the two sisters returned home, Su Shunci went to rest with Aunt Lian, while Su Qingyu ordered the people from Ziwei Garden to clean the house again.
An hour later, Lin Wuchen sent Lin back safely.
Lin has been pregnant for more than three months. Her belly is slightly bulging and her complexion is obviously much better than when she was in the Marquis' Mansion.
Su Qingyu ordered the kitchen to add more dishes and helped Lin wash and change clothes. Without even a few words, the mother and daughter went to pay their respects to the old lady.
Su Qingyu only had time to explain that Gu Ruoyun had become a concubine, because she was afraid that Lin would be too angry to bear it.
Unexpectedly, Lin was only surprised for a moment, then she washed and changed her clothes as usual, not angry at all.
He just said lightly, "Whether he takes a concubine or raises a concubine, it's not worth my anger."
Su Qingyu just felt sad. Seeing the young couple come to this point, the mother must be feeling very sad, right?
Upon hearing that Lin had returned home, the old lady specifically instructed that everyone should have dinner at Songhe Hall today.
At the dinner table, when Su Qingyu looked at Gu Ruoyun, she remembered what Wenzhu had said during the day.
"Mrs. Yun was beaten with ten boards just a few days ago. Is she healed so quickly?"
Gu Ruoyun smiled awkwardly and said, "I have a thick skin and flesh, I'm not that delicate."
After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "Since the eldest lady's marriage to Mr. Shen San has been cancelled, shouldn't we look for another family?"
Lin raised her head and glanced at Gu Ruoyun coldly.
"Does this family still have rules? What right do concubines have to ask about the marriage of the eldest daughter?"
When he mentioned the word "concubine", he did so with a strong sense of disdain.
Gu Ruoyun lowered her head in embarrassment, pursing her lower lip to hide her hatred.
But her words did serve as a wake-up call to Old Madam Su.
"Chengye, what do you think about Qingyu's marriage?"
Su Chengye looked embarrassed and said, "The Shen family has rejected my marriage proposal twice. Who in the capital dares to propose marriage now?"
The old lady pondered for a moment and then said, "What about the Shanjun Prince's Mansion? Should we ask Princess Yongjia again? Although the fourth young master of the Shanjun Prince's Mansion is a concubine's son, he has a distinguished family background, so he is a good match."
Su Qingyu sneered in her heart. Prince Shan’s Mansion had no intention of marrying her. They were just paving the way for Princess Chaoyun.
But she didn't want to say more. The Shen family would probably come to talk about this in the next day or two.
Lin was unhappy. She put down her bowl and chopsticks, wiped her mouth and said, "Even if my daughter broke off her engagement twice, she won't marry anyone casually."
