After returning home that day, Shen Yue was ill for many days, drowsy and unable to get out of bed. Doctors took turns to see her, but they couldn't tell what was wrong with her.
Later, Su Qingyu was really worried and asked Mr. Zhou to go and see her.
Mr. Zhou said that she had a mental illness and did not need to take medicine, she just needed to figure it out on her own.
Su Qingyu asked twice, but Shen Yue didn't say where this worry came from.
As Shen Zhao's wedding day was getting closer, Su Qingyu was extremely busy and could only ask Shen Yue to take good care of him.
A few days before Shen Zhao's wedding, her spirits became much better day by day, and Su Qingyu felt much more at ease.
In the past two weeks, Su Qingyu secretly visited Xiangdong twice. She heard that Shen Zhiheng doted on Xiangdong to the core, and he no longer visited the other concubines' rooms in the mansion, and only accompanied Xiangdong every day.
So Su Qingyu always asked her if she had changed her mind, if she would be reluctant to give up the child? The hatred between Xiangdong's eyebrows did not diminish in the slightest. Every time she answered with a firm and decisive attitude, without a single hesitation.
In a flash, it was two days before Shen Zhao's wedding, and the Shen family began to entertain guests. Close relatives and old friends came to congratulate, and the mansion also held a banquet and set up a stage.
Chen and Yang entertained the female members of the family and chatted with them. The Shen family's masters entertained colleagues and old friends, while Su Qingyu took charge of the overall situation and took care of the trivial matters.
As soon as Su Qingyu got up early in the morning, the manager was waiting outside for a response.
Shen Zhixiu came home early this morning from court. When he entered the room, Zhenzhu had just tied Su Qingyu's hair and was choosing a hairpin.
Shen Zhixiu walked behind Su Qingyu, first looked at the person in the mirror, then turned to look at the jewelry tray beside him.
Seeing this, Zhenzhu quickly stepped aside and brought the jewelry tray to Shen Zhixiu for him to choose.
Su Qingyu looked at him through the bronze mirror, a smile on her lips, "Can you? I have a guest today, please don't make me unable to face others."
"Madam, although I have never done this, I can still tell the difference between beauty and ugliness." Shen Zhixiu said as he looked at Su Qingyu's hairstyle.
Then she picked out a long hairpin with a golden phoenix pattern and a gold filigree hairpin inlaid with rubies and decorated with kingfisher feathers from the jewelry tray.
After putting it on, he looked at it again, as if he was very satisfied with his craftsmanship.
"Madam, take a look at my craftsmanship." He then quickly added, "Madam, you are beautiful. You are naturally beautiful. Everything you wear looks good on you."
Su Qingyu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Third Master always tries to flatter me."
Shen Zhixiu then selected a bracelet and earrings for her, saying, "How could I be lying to you? If you don't believe me, ask Zhenzhu if you are the prettiest young lady in the capital."
Zhenzhu suppressed her laughter and nodded hurriedly, strongly agreeing with Shen Zhixiu's words.
Su Qingyu scolded them for being frivolous, but her heart was filled with joy. She knew that Shen Zhixiu was deliberately trying to make her happy.
"You've been tired these days. After these two busy days, I'll take you out of the city and stay at a farm on the outskirts for a few days."
Shen Zhixiu held Su Qingyu's shoulders with both hands, leaned over and whispered.
He felt distressed and regretful. He should have let her wait until Shen Zhao got married before taking over the household responsibilities. It wouldn't have been so tiring. He was just too impatient.
Su Qingyu took his hand and held it. "It's not that tiring. Isn't it like this for every wedding?"
After they had breakfast together, Shen Zhixiu went to the outer courtyard to get busy. Starting today, there would be guests arriving. Some of them were of high status, so he would need to accompany them personally.
Su Qingyu liaised with the managers in various places, and when the managers had issues that they could not solve, they came to her for instructions.
At the beginning of the morning, Su Qingyu was in the kitchen checking on the banquet for today's guests. A servant from Qingyuan Residence came over and told the kitchen maid, "The young princess from Prince Duan's mansion has arrived. The old lady has asked that some snacks without milk be sent over. Make no mistake, the young princess got a rash from eating milk."
When Su Qingyu heard the words "Prince Duan", she instinctively frowned.
She called the little maid over and asked, "You said the little princess is here? Who did she come with?"
When the little maid saw Su Qingyu, she hurried forward and bowed and replied.
"Madam, the young princess came here with Prince Duan. She is currently at Qingyuan Residence, talking to the old lady."
Returning from the kitchen, Su Qingyu felt more and more uneasy the more she thought about it. In her previous life, the fact that Shen Yue married Prince Duan as his second wife was still vivid in her mind.
At that time, the younger generation of the Shen family had finished their mourning period, and Shen Yue and Shen Ying went to a banquet together. Somehow, Prince Duan fell in love with Shen Yue.
Coincidentally, Madam Chen and the late Princess Duan were distant cousins, and Chen Ying and the young princess of Prince Duan's mansion had always had a good relationship.
She didn't know how Prince Duan fell in love with Shen Yue in his previous life, but she always felt that Chen and Shen Ying were involved.
The thought of Prince Duan at the mansion made Su Qingyu feel like a thorn in his back. Although this life was different from the previous one, the eldest wife no longer needed Shen Yue to arrange a marriage to win over Prince Duan. But he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he always felt that it was not appropriate.
Su Qingyu was almost at Qingyuanju when she suddenly stopped.
"Fei Cui, you don't need to follow me today. Go to the Third Miss."
Emerald was confused, "What does Madam mean?"
"There are so many people here today, I'm afraid someone might do something bad to the Third Miss. It would be best if you stay with her, or hide in the dark."
"If anything seems wrong, get back to me immediately."
"There's no time to reply to me, so just improvise. Don't let the Third Miss suffer any loss. If anyone dares to have any evil intentions, beat them to death."
Feicui didn't know why Su Qingyu suddenly thought of this, but she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she nodded solemnly and turned to go to Shen Yue.
Su Qingyu took Zhenzhu and Chuntao to Qingyuanju.
When she went in, the old lady was talking to the wife of Duke Weiguo and did not see the little princess from Prince Duan's mansion.
Su Qingyu chatted with the wife of the Duke of Weiguo for a while, and then found an opportunity to ask, "Why haven't you seen the little princess?"
The old lady smiled and said, "She can't sit still here, so I sent someone to take her to play with Shen Ying. The two of them are quite familiar with each other, so it's a good opportunity for them to talk together."
After hearing this, Su Qingyu didn't ask any more questions. After chatting for a few more words, she turned around and went out to get busy.
At this time, in an elegant courtyard of the Shen family's inner house, under a gorgeous crape myrtle tree, Chen Ying and Zhou Yingxue, the young princess of Prince Duan's mansion, sat on a swing, chatting idly.
Zhou Yingxue knew what Shen Ying was thinking, so she asked jokingly, "Now that Zhang Pan has broken off the engagement, you have a chance of marrying into the Zhang family. Why didn't you ask your family to mention it?"
When Shen Ying heard her mention Zhang Pan, her face fell.
She said unhappily, "The young marquis is still thinking about Shen Yue. Last time, I wanted to take the opportunity to talk to him, but Shen Yue was gone. This seductive woman only knows how to seduce men."
Zhou Yingxue was stunned. "Chen Yue? Is she the illegitimate child of your family that you insist on registering under the name of your legitimate mother?"
"Didn't you joke last time that I should let her be my father's second wife?"
Zhou Yingxue was favored by Prince Duan and had no taboos in her words. She would often joke in front of Prince Duan.
When Shen Ying heard Zhou Yingxue say this, she smiled helplessly at first.
Then, my heart seemed to be touched by these words.
A bold and exciting idea came to my mind.
