At this time, Su Zhihui's words made her understand the key point.
"Ali's eldest brother is back too. He hadn't been home for a long time. When I asked her about it, she said she had joined the army. I was curious at the time why he suddenly wanted to join the army at such an old age."
"I just figured it out now. It turns out that I went there with the prince."
"So, her eldest brother is back too, and the whole family is going to the capital this time?" asked Su's mother.
"Yeah, what Ali said is correct. What's wrong, mother?"
The gentleness on Su's mother's face gradually turned serious. There must be something going on.
"Tell me carefully what you saw at the Shen family today."
"oh."
Su Zhihui didn't know why her mother wanted to know all this, but it was enough for her to know that he would not harm the Shen family. Moreover, since she had already been told about the existence of King Jingnan, there was nothing she couldn't say.
Mother Su listened carefully to the details in his words, and after listening, she concluded that Prince Jingnan and the Shen family must have known each other for a long time. When did they meet?
She fumbled with the jade bracelet on her hand, thinking about the life of King Jingnan.
Then he thought about how the Shen family had fled here due to famine, and during that time, Pei Yu seemed to have disappeared for a while. There were rumors that he was dead, but he didn't expect that he would come back alive in the end.
Could it be that he met the Shen family at that time?
When she came to her senses and looked at her daughter eagerly, Su's mother sent her away.
"Okay, I know about this. Let's discuss it with your father when he comes back."
"No, mother, what about my marriage?"
Mother Su glanced at her and asked, "Why didn't you seem so anxious before?"
Su Zhihui muttered softly, "I don't want to rush it either. Isn't he going to the capital? Mother, don't you know what the capital is?"
“There are many beautiful girls there. If Shen Qi’an falls in love with them, where can I go to cry?”
Seeing her daughter suddenly become unconfident, Su's mother realized that her daughter really liked the man named Shen Qi'an.
She was just focusing on other things and ignored one problem.
"Ahui, I want to ask you a question. Please answer me honestly."
Su Zhihui nodded, "Mom, go ahead."
"Does Shen Qi'an like you?"
After hearing this, Su Zhihui blushed and said shyly, "How can you ask that, mother?"
Seeing her like this, Su's mother was also helpless, "Ahui, you always tell me."
"I talked to him in a teahouse before and asked him what kind of woman he likes." When she said this, she felt a little lost and her voice became much softer.
"He said he likes lively and cheerful women, but I'm not one of them."
Su's mother twitched her lips. She had never asked her daughter to become a lady from a wealthy family, but somehow she had to put herself into this frame and even thought she was doing very well.
"And what else did he say?"
"Well, he also asked me what kind of person I thought I was. My daughter gave him a sachet she made herself, and he didn't refuse."
Having said that, he suddenly remembered what he said to Ali in the tea room, and his face turned red.
Su's mother asked: "Did you hear what he said?"
"Well, later when my daughter returned to the tea room to tell Ali something, she heard the brother and sister talking. He told Ali in person that he liked me."
Su's mother breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not her silly daughter who liked the other person unilaterally.
If someone doesn't like her, given her current state, I don't know how long it will take her to get over it.
However, after all, she didn't know Shen Qi'an's personality and the Shen family very well, so she put it aside for now and made plans after she understood it clearly.
"Okay, go and have some rest. Let me be alone for a while. Remember to come over for dinner later."
"Okay," Su Zhihui stood up and looked back at her mother as she walked. What if her mother tried to break up the couple?
No matter how slowly she walked, the room was limited, and she soon reached the yard.
Before she returned to her own yard, she saw her elder brother in the garden. She moved very carefully, trying not to disturb Su Heng, but it did not go as she wished.
"stop."
Su Zhihui turned around with a cute smile on her face, "What a coincidence, big brother, why are you here?"
Su Heng glanced at her and imitated her tone, "You are so fake!"
"Hehe, big brother, what do you want me to do?"
"Nothing much, I just want to settle the score with you."
Su Zhihui took several steps back and looked at her elder brother warily, "What are you settling, elder brother?"
"What do you think?"
Su Zhihui didn't argue any more, "Brother, I will help you in the future. If you find a girl you like and your parents don't agree, I will help you."
Su Heng's mouth twitched, "You are really a good daughter to your parents."
Su Zhihui pouted, "Brother, this is not allowed and that is not allowed, what are you going to do?"
Very good, now it's his fault.
…
Chen Li was helped out of Pei Yu's yard by her mother. After walking for a while, she spoke: "Mom, I'm not drunk."
Lin Cuicui didn't believe it, "With so much wine, you two didn't get drunk?"
"Well, not drunk, just half drunk."
After saying that, Chen Li broke free from her hand to prove to her that she was not drunk.
"Okay, okay, Mom knows. Remember to drink the hangover soup later, otherwise you will have a headache tomorrow morning."
"Well, I understand, mother. I won't go back now. I'm going to Fourth Brother's yard."
"Why are you still looking for your fourth brother so late at night? Can't you talk about it tomorrow?"
Although he said this, he still helped her walk towards Shen Qi'an's yard.
"Mom, I have something to talk to my fourth brother about. You should go back first."
"good."
The child has grown up and has his own secrets, and Lin Cuicui has no intention of finding out.
Chen Li knocked on the courtyard door. Yang Fan came to open the door. The light in the study was still on and Chen Qi'an was still reading in the study.
"Knock~"
"Fourth brother, it's me, can I come in?"
"Come in."
When Chen Li pushed the door open and went in, she saw him still reading a thick book.
"Fourth brother, you're still reading so late, be careful of your eyes."
Shen Qi placed a bookmark and closed the book. "No problem. I'll take a break for a quarter of an hour after reading for two quarters of an hour."
Of course, this quarter of an hour of rest is not really for rest, but for doing other things.
"A-Li, why don't you go to rest so late? What's the matter with you coming to Fourth Brother's place?"
Chen Li found a place to sit, not too far from him, not too close, making sure he could hear her talking and the smell of her alcohol would not bother him.
"Fourth brother, Ah Hui came today and told me something. She said her mother wanted her to get married as soon as possible."
Chen Li changed Su Zhihui's words slightly, but the meaning was basically the same.
"I suggest that she tell her parents that she has someone she likes."
