"Miss Pearl, is the Third Master in there? The Eldest Master wants to see you for something."
Wenzhu walked outside the main courtyard and asked politely.
Pearl thought of the noise in the inner room just now and her face turned red instantly.
"Third Master is not convenient to see guests now."
Wenzhu was about to ask why, but when she looked at Zhenzhu's expression, her mind suddenly became clear.
Seeing that it was still bright in the sky, Wenzhu had no choice but to retreat.
Outside Shen Zhixiu's study, Shen Zhao was still waiting.
Wen Zhu hurriedly approached and said, "Master, please go back first. Master San is not in a position to see guests right now."
Shen Zhao was startled, "Third Uncle is busy?"
Then I thought, if he is busy, why isn’t he in the study?
Didn’t Wenzhu say that Uncle San was going back to change clothes?
Seeing that Chen Zhao didn't understand, Wen Zhu didn't want to explain it clearly.
He could only vaguely say, "The Third Master is accompanying the Third Madam and has been ordered not to see any visitors."
Shen Zhao seemed to understand something, his expression froze on his face, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
"Then I'll go back first and come back tomorrow."
Wenzhu wanted to see him off, but he refused and said he would go through the garden behind.
He wandered around by himself and unknowingly walked to the back of the main courtyard.
Although I couldn't enter the main courtyard, I could vaguely hear some sounds.
Shen Zhao leaned against the wall behind the main courtyard, his eyes empty. These days, rumors spread in the mansion that her third uncle doted on her, and it seemed to be true.
If he didn't love her to the core, how could Third Uncle do that in broad daylight...
His thoughts drifted away from the west courtyard, and after he gradually regained his composure, a faint light flickered in his eyes.
The next morning, after Su Qingyu paid her respects to the old lady at Qingyuan Residence, a servant from Hanshui Courtyard came to report.
"Third Madam, there's something wrong with the bridal chamber's decor. The bed curtains the steward sent aren't the bright red that would be worn by hundreds of children and grandchildren. Could you please go over and take a look and make some decisions?"
Recently, all the trivial matters concerning Shen Zhao's marriage were reported to her. After hearing Yuan Bao's words, Su Qingyu took the pearls and jade and walked towards Hanshui Courtyard.
After her rebirth, even after marrying into the Shen family, Su Qingyu never went to Hanshuiyuan once.
The closer I got, the heavier the hatred in my heart became. All the memories of my past life surfaced in my mind again, and my chest felt like a huge stone was pressing down.
Su Qingyu knew clearly that only when Chen Zhao died would she be able to let go completely.
It is said that time is the best way to resolve hatred, but only she herself knows that for some hatreds, the longer it lasts, the heavier the hatred will become.
Seeing that they were about to reach the front, Su Qingyu whispered to Feicui, "Don't leave my side, stay close to me."
After her rebirth, Su Qingyu developed an exceptionally cautious disposition. Even within the Shen family's inner chambers, she remained reckless. In her previous life, she had been tricked by Cheng Ruijin and Shen Zhao, a mistake she'd made due to her negligence. If she were to fall into their trap again in her new life, she'd deserve it.
Yuanbao took Su Qingyu and others to the main courtyard of Hanshui Courtyard. At this time, the servants were busy coming in and out.
Although there is still more than a month before the wedding, there are still many things to prepare.
"Madam, please take a look. We agreed it would be a tent for a hundred children and a thousand grandchildren. But the one they sent now has a pattern of longevity and good fortune. The needlework expert said they got the wrong pattern."
Su Qingyu took a look and felt that it was indeed not suitable for marriage. It seemed more like it was for use by the elderly.
"Then redo it. There's still nearly a month until the wedding, and we've been working day and night to get it done."
Yuanbao responded with a yes, and then Su Qingyu heard Shen Zhao's voice behind her.
"This should have been our wedding room." Beneath the calm tone, several different emotions were hidden.
Su Qingyu frowned, looking a little impatient. What was wrong with the bed curtain? It was all a cover-up.
She turned around and said coldly: "Young Master, do you want to say this in front of the Third Master?"
"Even the bed curtains can be pulled out to reveal a cover. If you don't want to get married, why not just burn this bridal chamber down?"
Shen Zhao's expression froze, and then he stared at Su Qingyu sharply, "If you didn't know that my third uncle was alive, you wouldn't have reacted so strongly even if you bumped into Rujin and me, right?"
Su Qingyu frowned and looked at Chen Zhao. Before she could speak, she heard Chen Zhao continue.
"These days, I've been thinking about the past. People's eyes can't lie. You were willing to marry me before."
"But that day when you came to pay tribute to my Third Uncle, you caught him in adultery, broke off the engagement, and then got engaged to my Third Uncle. You could say you were careful at every step, without a single hesitation."
"A teenage lady from the inner chambers could remain so calm in the face of her fiancée's affairs with someone else. What else could it be but a long-planned plot?"
"Su Qingyu, if you had told me earlier that it was because I had no power, I could have fought for power for you."
"Why did you go through so much trouble to marry my third uncle?"
Su Qingyu listened in a daze at first, and then she laughed at the end.
I have to say that Shen Zhao's analysis makes some sense.
Shen Zhao didn't expect that she was reborn, and he just stubbornly thought that she was planning to marry Shen Zhixiu.
But between her and Shen Zhao, there was nothing but deep hatred. She didn't want to argue with him about this matter. What would it matter if she was right?
"Chen Zhao, I'm warning you, do your duty as your nephew."
"If you say one more word, don't blame me for being rude."
If they were not in the inner house of the Shen family at this time, she would definitely let Feicui kill him.
When Su Qingyu turned around to leave, Chen Zhao took two steps forward and pretended to grab Su Qingyu's arm.
Su Qingyu dodged for a moment, avoiding Chen Zhao. Then she said to Feicui in a cold voice, "Take his arm off for me."
Feicui was already angry, and when she heard Su Qingyu say that, she quickly stepped forward and twisted Shen Zhao's arm. With a snap, Shen Zhao's arm drooped down.
