Shen Zhixiu stood behind her, leaned over, put his arms around her and picked her up.
It was not until he picked up the person that he saw the scripture on the ground and his expression froze.
"Third Master, are you worried that the scriptures I copied will be wasted? I'm afraid this thing is useless to living people, right?"
Su Qingyu asked jokingly.
Shen Zhixiu pulled over a chair and sat down, then pulled Su Qingyu onto his lap and hugged her tightly.
Su Qingyu felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. Although the two of them had consummated their marriage, their intimacy was limited to the bed.
Besides, in bed, she could feel less awkward if she closed her eyes. Now, being held in his arms like this, their faces were almost touching, and Su Qingyu's whole body stiffened unconsciously.
Shen Zhixiu gently rubbed her head and said, "Qingqing, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would really die in the northwest."
Su Qingyu wanted to say that she knew because he died in the northwest in his previous life.
After all, even the most powerful official could not have predicted such a huge natural disaster.
Shen Zhixiu buried his head in her neck and spoke in a low voice.
"You told me to leave Shaanxi and Gansu before the New Year. But I hadn't finished my work yet, so I didn't arrive in Qingyang until the day of the earthquake."
"I was even trapped under a beam. It took a whole day and a night before I was rescued."
"At that time, I was holding this scroll, and I thought to myself, you're still waiting for me to get married. If I die here, you'll really be a widow."
Su Qingyu felt as if her heartbeat suddenly stopped, and the image of Shen Zhixiu being trapped under the rubble appeared in her mind.
My heart felt like it was being cut open by something, and it was tearing painfully.
She blurted out, "Third Master, you're playing with your life. I've told you everything, how can you still not take it seriously?"
She herself didn't know why she suddenly became angry.
But when she thought about how Shen Zhixiu almost died in the northwest because he didn't listen to her, she couldn't help but feel angry.
A look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on Shen Zhixiu's face. In the past few days since their marriage, he could feel that Su Qingyu was trying hard to be the third wife of the Shen family.
But there always seemed to be a layer of window paper between them.
He impulsively told her about the miserable situation in the northwest today, but he didn't expect her to get angry.
Angry...is it because you are worried about him and care about him?
"Qingqing, are you worried about me?" Shen Zhixiu hugged her tightly and asked in a low voice.
Su Qingyu was also shocked by her own reaction at this time, and she was unable to answer Shen Zhixiu's question for a while.
Shen Zhixiu didn't care and continued to whisper in her ear: "Don't worry, I won't do this again in the future."
"For you, I can't do such dangerous things anymore."
On the day he left Beijing from Huguo Temple, he somehow put the scroll of scriptures in his arms.
During those days in the northwest, he often thought of the scene in Huguo Temple where they sat facing each other. Later, when he was buried under the rubble, he told himself that he had a fiancée.
Even he himself didn't know why he had engraved her in his heart.
The breath exhaled by Shen Zhixiu fell on Su Qingyu's ears, burning hot.
Su Qingyu nestled in his arms, and her body, which had been tense just now, completely relaxed.
She suddenly realized that in addition to revenge, she also wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.
Perhaps it was really God's pity that not only allowed her to be reborn, but also allowed her to marry Shen Zhixiu.
The two of them just hugged each other, neither of them saying a word. Shen Zhixiu's eyebrows were stained with lust, and Su Qingyu's lips were obviously smiling.
"Third Master, there's news from Liaodong." Wenzhu knocked on the window outside.
If it wasn't something urgent, Wenzhu wouldn't bother her at this time.
Shen Zhixiu's eyes, which had just been stained with lust, instantly regained clarity.
"I'll go and take a look. Wait for me for dinner tonight." After Shen Zhixiu finished speaking, he grabbed the back of Su Qingyu's head and kissed her hard.
He didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he always felt that the wanton entanglement between lips and teeth today had a more sense of separation than usual.
Su Qingyu's hands, which were clinging to his back, were much hotter than usual.
After Shen Zhixiu left, Su Qingyu sat alone in a chair in a daze, with a smile on her lips again.
Zhenzhu walked in at some point and was stunned when she saw Su Qingyu's messy hair. Then she remembered that the Third Master had just left, and she seemed to understand something.
She turned around and went back to the inner room to get a comb and helped Su Qingyu comb her hair again.
After everything was packed, Zhenzhu said, "Madam, Steward Xiang wants to see you. He's in the pavilion in the northwest corner of the garden."
Su Qingyu frowned slightly, "She wants to see me?"
She thought Xiangdong would be resting in the new courtyard to take care of her pregnancy, or perhaps waiting for Shen Zhiheng to give her a legitimate status.
What's the point of seeing her at this time?
Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Su Qingyu stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."
The pavilion in the northwest corner of the garden is remote and few people go there.
When Su Qingyu arrived, Xiangdong was already waiting for her there.
To be on the safe side, Su Qingyu told Feicui and Zhenzhu to keep an eye on their surroundings so that no one could see them.
"Manager Xiang wants to see me. What's the matter?"
Xiangdong walked up to Su Qingyu and knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Please, Madam Third, save my life."
Su Qingyu sat down on the stone bench and looked at Xiangdong in confusion.
"What are you saying, Steward Xiang? I saved your life? You almost took my life today."
"You are the eldest master's concubine now, who dares to harm you?"
Xiang Dong kowtowed to Su Qingyu, then raised his head and said, "The eldest lady ordered me to do what happened today."
Su Qingyu frowned even tighter, "If the Madam heard this, you'd be dead."
