Su Qingyu never expected that she would stay in the bathroom for more than an hour.
When she returned to bed, she didn't even want to move her hair. She just touched the pillow and fell asleep.
Shen Zhixiu showed guilt on his face. He bent down and kissed her on the forehead, then hugged her and fell asleep.
Su Qingyu had no idea when Shen Zhixiu got up the next day or when he went to court.
When she slowly woke up, it was already noon.
No need to think about it, it was Shen Zhixiu's order not to wake her up.
Fortunately, the old lady was kind and doted on her like a child. So even if she got up late and didn't go to pay her respects, the old lady wouldn't blame her.
Su Qingyu had a simple breakfast and then went to Qingyuanju to pay her respects.
When I went in, Shen Yue was there too.
"Mother, I think Shen Yue is engaged now. Shouldn't I teach her how to manage the household? Why not let her stay with me from now on?"
The old lady nodded slightly. "That's good. There are quite a few people in the Shanjun Prince's Mansion, and there are bound to be a lot of problems between the sisters-in-law. You should teach her more. If nothing else, you must make sure that the dowry and the property are clearly managed."
Shen Yue lowered her head in embarrassment, twisting her hands together.
Su Qingyu smiled and teased Shen Yue, "What's there to be shy about? You have to learn this before you get married. But don't be too tired these few days. If there's something going on in the shop outside, I'll take you out."
As she spoke, she winked at Shen Yue when she looked at her.
Shen Yue understood, "I will listen to Third Aunt."
Afterwards, Shen Yue followed Su Qingyu out of Qingyuanju.
Su Qingyu took her to the kitchen, intending to let her take care of kitchen matters first.
Shen Yue was unsure, "What if I can't manage it well? I don't want the food and drink of this whole family to be delayed because of me."
Su Qingyu laughed heartily, "How could it be delayed? Let me teach you how to read the accounts first."
"This housekeeper is actually very simple. He is strict where necessary and loose where necessary. Let the people below know your taboos, and give them some sweet treats when appropriate."
He then joked, "If you could take over all the housekeeper's duties, I would have a much easier time."
Shen Yue seemed to understand what was said, but after hearing the last sentence, she muttered, "As long as Third Aunt doesn't think I'm stupid, that's all."
Seeing that no one was around, Su Qingyu squeezed her hand and said, "How dare I do that? My brother won't forgive me either."
Shen Yue blushed and asked again, "When will he go to Northern Frontier?"
Su Qingyu shook her head. "I don't know either, but before he leaves, I will definitely let you meet him."
After lunch, Su Qingyu left the house again and went to Elm Hutong. Her mother suddenly found out about all this yesterday, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to eat or sleep well. She was really worried if she didn't go over to check on her.
When she arrived, she happened to run into Madam Su's assistant, Nanny Yuan, who was here to deliver tea. Because Lin Wanyin had not allowed her to come in, Nanny Yuan was pacing around the door in embarrassment.
Seeing Su Qingyu coming, Nanny Yuan was like seeing a savior.
"Miss, I am here to deliver the tea as ordered. Please help me ask Madam Lin for mercy."
The old lady sent her here today to show her goodwill, so she had to convey some words.
Speaking of which, the old lady was also scared. She dreamed last night that her nephew was arrested.
Su Qingyu gestured to Zhenzhu to take the tea.
"I accepted this tea on behalf of my mother. She is angry and doesn't want to see anyone from the Su family. Please don't take it to heart, Ma'am."
Nanny Yuan quickly smiled and said, "Miss, that's not right. Madam Lin is right to be angry. The old lady also scolded the Marquis yesterday, telling him never to do such foolish things again."
Su Qingyu snorted inwardly. Yesterday, those two servants had said they were following the old lady's orders. They thought she didn't know and were playing dumb.
"So grandma didn't know anything about it. Luckily, I beat those two servants to death yesterday. They actually said they were following grandma's orders."
Nanny Yuan's eyes immediately avoided, fearing that Su Qingyu would get angry at her.
But Su Qingyu just waved her hand, indicating that Nanny Yuan could go back.
After entering the room, Su Qingyu gave the bag of tea to the steward of the outer courtyard.
In the main room, Lin Wanyin was sewing clothes, and several maids were also busy, some cutting fabrics, and some sewing shoe soles.
"What are you busy with?" When Su Qingyu asked, she saw clearly the material of the clothes in her mother's hand, which was royal blue Hangzhou silk.
Since everyone in the room was Lin Wanyin's confidant, Su Qingyu didn't avoid speaking to them.
"Mother, are you going to make clothes and shoes for my brother?"
Lin Wanyin motioned for her to sit down and told Bai Lu to get her favorite snacks and fruits.
"It's bitterly cold in the north, so I thought I'd hurry up and make him some clothes and shoes and socks so he can take them with him when he leaves."
Su Qingyu sat down next to Lin Wanyin and saw her red and swollen eyes at a glance.
"Why are your eyes so swollen, mother? Did you cry again after I left yesterday?"
Lin Wanyin smiled and comforted her, "No, I just didn't sleep well."
Su Qingyu didn't believe it and looked at the lotus leaves and maple leaves.
He Ye said, "After the young lady left yesterday, Madam asked about the young master's situation at the Li family and looked at his injuries. After the young master left, Madam cried for half the night. She got up early in the morning and started making clothes. She hardly slept."
Su Qingyu looked at Lin Wanyin distressedly, "I know you feel sorry for him, but you have to take care of yourself."
Thinking of Li Yunzhou's experiences over the years, Su Qingyu said coldly: "I will never let go of what the Li family did to my brother."
Lin Wanyin blurted out: "It's all my fault. I was negligent."
Ever since Li Yunzhou left yesterday, Lin Wanyin's mind has been filled with the shocking scars on his body. Whenever she thinks of them, she feels a piercing pain all over her body.
