In fact, she wasn't really helping Shen Zhixiu. Even if she hadn't mentioned this, she would have taken this opportunity to get rid of Su Yuankai. If she wanted to get involved with the Xu family, she would just have to make things bigger.
There was no joy on Shen Zhixiu's face, and he looked at Su Qingyu solemnly.
"what are you up to?"
"I have to think twice before I confront the Xu family. You absolutely cannot take risks for me. This kind of thing can affect the entire body. If something really goes wrong, the entire Su family will be implicated."
Shen Zhixiu's words were full of warnings, fearing that Su Qingyu would act impulsively and plot against Lord Xu. If Lord Xu could be driven out of office by a young lady from the inner chambers, he wouldn't have been the Prime Minister for so many years.
Su Qingyu naturally knew his concerns and smiled, comforting him, "Don't worry, I won't do it myself. My half-brother has been plotting something with Xu Liangping recently, and I want to use their strength to counterattack."
"Don't worry about it. It's not guaranteed to succeed. Just prepare the evidence for impeachment and don't miss the opportunity."
"As for me, I will definitely not leave any traces behind."
Her words were very clear, but Shen Zhixiu's expression remained solemn.
He frowned and looked at Su Qingyu, and asked her, "Do you need my help?"
Su Qingyu quickly shook her head, "Don't do that. If you get involved in this, it will really reveal itself."
Seeing that he was worried, she explained, "I don't have any contact with the Xu family. The person I want to plot against is my brother. As for the Xu family, it depends on God's will."
Seeing this, Shen Zhixiu stopped trying to persuade her, but only told Su Qingyu to inform him in time if there was anything she couldn't handle.
After finishing his words, Shen Zhixiu stood up and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Su Qingyu looked at the snacks on the table and thanked him politely, "Third Master, please go back and thank the old lady for making snacks for me. She thought of me."
Shen Zhixiu laughed and joked, "If you really want to thank her, then you should go visit her more often. She's been thinking about you a lot these days."
Su Qingyu said embarrassedly, "Third Master is right. It just so happens that the farm will deliver fresh mustard greens tomorrow morning. I'll send some to the old lady."
She remembered that the old lady loved to eat small wontons stuffed with mustard greens.
Shen Zhixiu raised a subtle arc at the corner of his mouth and nodded, "Okay."
After sending Shen Zhixiu away, Su Qingyu called Feicui in and instructed her, "Go quietly find someone to make some waterproof firewood."
"It doesn't matter if you spend a little more money, but don't get caught, and don't let anyone know your identity."
Feicui didn't understand what Su Qingyu was going to do, but she still took note of it carefully without asking any more questions.
What Su Qingyu likes most about jade is that it is steady and quiet.
She then asked, "What happened to the servants of Shaohua Hall?"
Jade replied, "It hasn't been dealt with yet. The steward is waiting for your instructions."
Su Qingyu thought for a moment and then ordered, "Give Yuetao twenty taels of silver and let her go. As for Erxi, tell him that you'll let him go after I get married."
"As for the other people in Shaohua Hall, let's sell them all off."
She wouldn't keep any of the people Gu Ruoyun had used. Who knew if Cheng Ruijin was still involved with them? She didn't want to be tricked by Cheng Ruijin at the last minute.
Feicui asked again, "What should we do with Lu Ru? She is Madam Yun's confidant."
"Then go down and serve Madam Yun." Su Qingyu said in a deep voice.
Before Feicui left, Su Qingyu gave another instruction, "Tomorrow the people from the farm will send shepherd's purse. Send someone to the farm to tell them to pick as many tender and good ones as possible."
Jade replied yes and turned to leave.
Su Qingyu sat alone behind the desk, thinking about the incident with Xu Liangping in her previous life.
In his previous life, the Emperor's birthday was also entrusted to the Xu family, and Lord Xu handed the matter over to his eldest grandson Xu Mingjie.
Xu Liangping was jealous of Xu Mingjie's important position in the family, so he wanted to do something to suppress Xu Mingjie's arrogance.
Not wanting to make too much noise, he took a few of his friends, each of whom filled a few water bottles, and quietly entered the fireworks warehouse. Their intention was to soak some of the fireworks while no one was paying attention. If Xu Mingjie made any mistakes on the emperor's birthday, he would definitely be punished.
But Xu Liangping was unlucky. That day, Xu Mingjie went to the warehouse for a routine inspection and caught him red-handed.
Because of this incident, Xu Liangping was almost beaten to death by Lord Xu.
Su Qingyu felt a little unsure. Many things had changed after her rebirth. She didn't know whether Xu Liangping's case would develop the same way as in her previous life.
However, she could only do her best and leave the rest to fate. After all, she was reborn, not a psychic.
With a creak, the door of the study was opened a crack, bringing Su Qingyu back to her wandering thoughts.
I saw Su Shunci sticking her head in to look at me, with two dimples on her chubby cheeks.
"Big sister, I came to see you."
Su Qingyu waved her hand, and Su Shunci ran in and lay directly on Su Qingyu's legs.
"Big sister, I have checked all the accounts for these days." The tone was soft and a little coquettish.
Su Qingyu looked down at her half-sister, and her usually cold heart softened a little.
"Now that you've checked the accounts, why don't you go practice your needlework? I see you've been doing quite well these past few days. If you like, I can find a good embroidery master to teach you."
Su Shunci's smiling face fell in an instant.
She hurriedly said, "No, please don't. Big sister, I'm really not good at embroidery. Others embroider flowers, but mine is just a mess."
"I'd rather use an abacus all day than touch needle and thread again."
Su Qingyu couldn't help laughing and reached out to pinch Su Shunci's cheek, "Then what do you want to do?"
Su Shun smiled sweetly twice, then put his arm around Su Qingyu's slender waist and said, "I want to go to the shop. I want to learn about things outside."
In the past, she was protected by Concubine Lian and could only be cautious as a concubine of the Su family. She even had to think over every word she said several times in her mind, for fear of angering the elders in the family.
But ever since her elder sister taught her how to keep accounts and manage the household, she was like a bird released from a cage, attracted by the vast world outside.
These days, she has woken up laughing many times in her sleep. She loves her current life so much.
Su Qingyu didn't refuse, but she didn't agree either. Instead, she lowered her head and thought for a while.
Su Shunci just looked up at her, her two little hands unconsciously clenched together in nervousness.
