Shen Zhao was so stimulated by Su Qingyu's words that he didn't even think about what he said next.

"Repay? What qualifications do you have to ask me to repay the Shen family's money? Don't think that just because you are in charge of the family, you can dictate the affairs of our big house."

"My grandmother and my third uncle have promoted you, do you really think you are the mistress of the house?"

Su Qingyu didn't want to argue with Shen Zhao, but when Shen Zhao said this, she became angry.

"If the eldest young master says so, then it's not something I can decide on my own."

"The big house misappropriated money from the public house, and the second house was also involved."

"Zhenzhu, go and invite the third master over. Jade, go and invite the second master and the second lady. Chuntao, go and say something to the old lady, and we'll be there in a moment."

"Since I have been asked to take care of the house, and the accounts cannot be balanced now, we have to sit down and talk about it. Don't let the old lady and several gentlemen at home be unhappy and think that I am not good at managing the accounts."

"Also, the eldest young master is so disrespectful to my aunt and has no respect for his elders. I also want to ask for an explanation."

Since Shen Zhao was going to make a fuss, she would make a bigger fuss. This also involves the interests of the second house, so everyone is dragged into the water.

Shen Zhao just wanted to belittle Su Qingyu, but he didn't expect that Su Qingyu became anxious all of a sudden and even summoned the elders in the family to talk about it.

How dare he do this?

He suddenly felt that it was difficult to get off the tiger. Seeing that the maids were about to turn around and call for help, Shen Zhao's words of resignation were still stuck in his throat.

Su Qingyu stood there with a cold face, as if she would not give up until there was a big fuss.

Just when Shen Zhao was wondering what to do, Li Chaoyun came from nowhere.

"Third aunt, calm down, the young master didn't mean that. Don't worry, third aunt, the young master will definitely handle this matter."

Li Chaoyun walked closer and gave Shen Zhao a warning look. Then he looked at Su Qingyu and said, "The young master has been in a bad mood these past two days. Third aunt, please don't get along with him."

"I will apologize to the third aunt on behalf of the eldest young master."

He said this, but in his heart he was scolding Shen Zhao so much. At this time, without thinking about how to handle this matter, he dared to make a fuss in public.

Did the couple have a conflict with Su Qingyu?

She couldn't control her temper when she met Su Qingyu, and Shen Zhao couldn't control her temper again when she met Su Qingyu.

Su Qingyu was even more afraid of Li Chaoyun. It was difficult to deal with people who could bend and stretch.

Seeing that Li Chaoyun said soft words, Su Qingyu couldn't help but hold on.

"Since the princess said so, I, as an elder, cannot be unreasonable and unforgiving."

"Let's forget about today's matter. From now on, young master, it's better to talk more than you think."

After saying that, he passed Shen Zhao and his wife and walked towards the west courtyard.

After Su Qingyu left, Li Chaoyun stared at her back and said quietly: "Young master, please don't talk to the third aunt in the future. What you say will make many mistakes."

Shen Zhao was still unhappy, "Do we really want to return all that money? That's not a small amount."

Even if he wanted the money from the Chen family in Wuling, Shen Zhao didn't want to return it to Gongzhong.

Li Chaoyun cursed in his heart for being stupid, and said, "Young master, I don't understand, what happened to the money given to the Duke? As long as you become a powerful person one day, the money from the Shen family's Duke will be your money."

"And you are the eldest grandson of the Shen family. Even if you inherit the family business, you will inherit more than others."

"How we fight in the house is a matter for the future. The most urgent task now is how to get the Wuling Chen family's money out."

Li Chaoyun's words made Shen Zhao wake up from the chaos just now.

"I know. After I came out from Uncle San, I have already started to think of countermeasures."

Sure enough, as soon as Su Qingyu left, his mind became much clearer.

Su Qingyu had no idea what the couple was thinking. Shen Zhixiu was still waiting for her to eat.

In the side hall of the west courtyard, when Su Qingyu entered, Shen Zhixiu served her soup with his own hands.

One edge of the wide sleeves is rolled up, revealing the pattern on the inner cuffs. Even when serving soup, there is elegance and dignity in every gesture.

Sometimes Su Qingyu even had the illusion that Shen Zhixiu was more dignified than her.

"You've been busy all morning, are you tired?" Shen Zhixiu looked up at her and motioned for her to sit down and eat.

Su Qingyu sat down opposite him, took a sip of the soup he handed over.

"I'm not that tired. I just went to the accounting office to sort out the Wuling Chen family's accounts. Mr. Qian can finish the calculations in the evening and will send someone to deliver them."

Thinking of Shen Yue's marriage again, he said, "You still have to be careful about Shen Yue's matter. It's best to settle the marriage within half a year."

If the Chen family suddenly disappears, Shen Yue will have to observe mourning for three years. If you are engaged, you can get married in love, but if you are not engaged, it will be really delayed.

Shen Zhixiu smiled and said: "I really don't have a clue at the moment. You should pay more attention when you go out to attend the banquet."

After the two of them finished eating, Shen Zhixiu went to the study again, and Su Qingyu looked at the things she would take away tomorrow. Some felt that it was not necessary to bring them, and some asked Zhenzhu and others to add more.

The master and servants were busy until evening, chatting and laughing while tidying up.

Early the next morning, Shen Zhixiu did not go to court as usual. Instead, he and Su Qingyu went to Qingyuan Residence to have breakfast with the old lady, and then talked about going to another courtyard.

The old lady was never harsh on the younger ones, so she smiled and asked them to go to the other courtyard to have fun for a few days. Especially Su Qingyu, in the eyes of the old lady, she is still a child. The two were newly married, and the old lady wished they could spend all day together.

The servants waiting closely in the west courtyard today were all excited. Being able to go out and relax makes the people below happy too.

But even if Su Qingyu ordered everything to be simple, in the end only three carriages went out.

Since he was leaving the capital, Shen Zhixiu ordered the three carriages to keep a low profile and not to carry the Shen family's brand.

When they arrived at the west gate of the capital, there was a long queue of carriages leaving the city.

The Shen family's coachman ran all the way to the city gate before he figured out what was going on.

"Third Master, I said that a noble person has returned to the capital, and everyone is waiting for him."

"Do you want me to go and say something to let them know that it's the third master who is leaving the city?"

Shen Zhixiu was sitting in the carriage, peeling the peach for Su Qingyu.

He said calmly: "Just wait, I'll see who returns to Beijing just in time."

Could it be some royal prince who could make the city gate look like this?

Even his teacher, Mr. Chen Ge, didn't have such style.

Su Qingyu leaned against the wall of the carriage and looked outside through the gap in the window screen. The sun was high outside, and the people waiting were anxious and impatient, but they dared not speak.

Shen Zhixiu peeled a peach, handed it to Su Qingyu, and then wiped his hands elegantly with the handkerchief.

Su Qingyu took it and started eating it, the peach juice seeping out from the corners of her lips.

Shen Zhixiu wiped the corners of her mouth from time to time. If any civil and military officials saw this scene, their jaws would probably drop.

The weather is hot. After eating a peach, the heat has dissipated.

As soon as Su Qingyu wiped her hands, she heard the sound of horses running from far to near outside.

She quickly opened the car curtain a little and looked outside.

Shen Zhixiu half hugged Su Qingyu and saw clearly the vehicle frame approaching not far away.

"No wonder, it turned out to be the prince. The prince went out of the city yesterday to offer incense. I think he just came back."

When Su Qingyu heard that he was the prince, he was not interested. Tianhuang is a noble man, so he is naturally full of style.

Just as the curtains were about to be closed tightly, Su Qingyu saw clearly the side face of the girl in the prince's carriage.

"Why is it her?"
