Shen Zhixiu is not a soft-hearted person, and the amount of money Chen has taken away from the Shen family over the years is not a small amount.

If she did something like that, it makes no sense for her family to take advantage of it.

"It's easy to talk to the eldest brother about his money. I'll tell him and he will pay it back."

"As for the Wuling Chen family, I'd like to think of someone to let them go."

Su Qingyu's thoughts changed, "After all, we are in-laws, so sending people from below seems like we are bullying others."

"Why don't you let the young master go? How can his uncle and grandmother not understand his difficulties?"

Shen Zhixiu naturally knew Su Qingyu's little thoughts, but he didn't mind. If Shen Zhao's visit would make his Qingqing happy, he would be happy for it.

Besides, what Su Qingyu said made sense. Shen Zhao, as his son, was the right person to clean up the trouble caused by the Chen family.

"That's fine. I'll tell him tomorrow and ask him to go to the Chen family in Wuling. You and Mr. Qian will come up with the accounts tomorrow and calculate clearly how much money the Chen family should give us."

Su Qingyu smiled and nodded, "Okay, I will settle the accounts tomorrow."

This trip to the Chen family was enough for Shen Zhao to drink a pot.

When I returned to Shen's house, it was already midnight.

Su Qingyu yawned, got off the carriage, and saw Aunt Hua standing aside.

"Third Master, Third Madam, the old lady sent me to guard her. I want to ask how the eldest lady is doing."

Shen Zhixiu smiled helplessly, "Mother is too impatient. I was thinking of going to talk to her early tomorrow morning. Is mother still awake? I'll go to Qingyuan Residence with you."

Aunt Hua said hurriedly: "Third Master, please rest early and tell me the general situation. The old lady is afraid of causing trouble to you, so she asked me to stay here."

Shen Zhixiu stopped insisting, "Then please tell mother, my sister-in-law is very angry and has stagnation of liver energy. Tell mother not to worry about her and go to bed early."

Grandma Hua nodded, turned and left.

Su Qingyu thought for a while, then turned around and whispered to Pearl: "Follow Granny Hua quietly and ask if the medicine was given today? Is there anything else going on inside?"

She always felt strange about what happened today. The medicine she bought shouldn't be so effective. Is there anything she doesn't know about this?

Pearl followed calmly, and after Granny Hua left the west courtyard, she stopped her at the edge of the garden.

"Mommy, Madam asked me to ask you, did Madam eat the blood swallow today?"

Even though there was no one around, Pearl didn't dare to speak too bluntly.

Aunt Hua stopped and replied with a smile, "I have given it to the Madam. I did it according to Madam's instructions."

Pearl asked again, "Send the eldest lady to the village. Nothing went wrong, right?"

Grandma Hua shook her head and said, "Everything went well. Third Madam, please rest assured. I am doing everything as instructed."

Pearl understood in her heart, and after separating from Granny Hua, she turned around and returned to the west courtyard. But she didn't notice at all that a figure in black followed her into the west courtyard.

After returning to Qingyuan Residence, Grandma Hua entered the inner room first. The old lady was sitting cross-legged on the bed, twisting the beads in her hand quickly.

After hearing the sound, he opened his eyes, but the movement of his hands did not stop.

"Zhixiu and Qingyu are back?"

Grandma Hua replied: "The Third Master and the Third Madam are back. The Third Master said that the Eldest Madam is very angry and has stagnation of liver energy. Please rest assured, Old Madam."

"The third master is thinking about you and insists on following you. The old slave knew what you were thinking, so he stopped you."

As Grandma Hua spoke, she sat on the small stool beside the bed and helped the old lady pinch her calf.

The old lady is old. She feels cramp-like pain in her calves when she gets a little cold. The doctor prescribed a lot of medicine but it didn't feel any better. Grandma Hua rubbed it like this, but the pain didn't go away for a long time.

The old lady glanced at Grandma Hua approvingly and said, "Why bother with this in the middle of the night?"

Then he said: "Before leaving today, I asked you to bring Chen Pinghui the ginseng soup. Did she drink it?"

Aunt Hua suddenly thought, "I drank it all, and I watched her drink it."

The old lady nodded, "That's good. Starting tomorrow, hurry up and find a marriage partner for Yue'er. As for the official career of these juniors...whose family is immortal? When the old man passed away, he kept his filial piety and didn't delay his promotion."

"If you are incompetent and you blame the dead, that is incompetence."

Grandma Hua looked normal, but her heart was shocked. What does the old lady mean by this? What about ginseng soup?

But she didn't dare to ask, and she didn't dare to say this to others, so she could only pretend not to know.

"Madam, it's already three o'clock in the morning, please lie down and sleep."

After the old lady went to bed, Grandma Hua blew out the lamp and went to lie down outside.

The west courtyard of the Shen family, Shen Zhixiu's study.

Wen Zhuzheng reported in a low voice, "Third Master, my subordinates went to check the Second Master's place and found no signs of poisoning the eldest lady."

Shen Zhixiu leaned back on the chair, his long fingers unconsciously clasping the tabletop.

"Isn't he the second brother? He can't be the eldest brother, right?"

"If he is the eldest brother, I really think highly of him."

Wenzhu looked troubled, as if he wanted to say something but dared not say it.

Even though there was only a small lamp lit in the room, Shen Zhixiu quickly noticed something strange about Wenzhu.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Wenzhu thought for a moment and then said: "The second master, who is under my command, went back to the house first to investigate. When he returned to the west courtyard after the investigation, he happened to meet Grandma Pearl and Hua next to Madam talking in the garden."

"Although I haven't said it clearly, my subordinates feel that the two of them are talking about something. Could this extra poison be poisoned by the third lady?"

Shen Zhixiu was startled for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips, "She has made progress."

Then he stood up and said, "There is no need to investigate this matter, that's the end of it."

When she returned to the main room, Su Qingyu had just finished washing herself and changed into loose green home clothes.

"Third Master is back. You go and freshen up. I'll go to bed first."

After saying that, he yawned and lay down.

When Shen Zhixiu came out of the bathroom, Su Qingyu was already breathing evenly. Her sleeping posture was a little indulgent, with her long, white legs resting on the quilt and her hands holding Shen Zhixiu's soft pillow.

Shen Zhixiu shook his head helplessly, first took out the soft pillow from her arms, and then pulled out the quilt.

Su Qingyu was obviously not happy that her sweet dream was disturbed, and she groaned twice.

When Shen Zhixiu lay down, she quickly put her legs on Shen Zhixiu and put her arms around Shen Zhixiu's waist.

The hot breath he exhaled just sprayed on Shen Zhixiu's neck.

Shen Zhixiu's Adam's apple squirmed hard, trying to calm the restlessness in his heart. But it was obviously of no use. The next moment, he turned over and kissed Su Qingyu.

"Don't make trouble, I'm tired."

"You sleep in your..."
