Su Qingyu looked at Su Shunci lovingly, she was still a child after all.

Nowadays, she has a clear understanding of business matters, but she only knows a little about the affairs of the inner house.

"The third aunt is different from my mother. The third uncle was not born to my grandmother, so my grandmother doesn't care about my third uncle's career at all."

"If the third aunt is like my mother, my grandmother will be labeled as unfilial. It will have a great impact on the third uncle."

"Third uncle is in a place like the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he doesn't dare to make a wrong step on his errand."

Although heirs born from concubines, like legitimate sons, can study, practice martial arts, and become officials. But in fact, the difference inside is huge.

The mother loves her own children, so she will naturally consider them in every way. It is considered good if she does not suppress the illegitimate children.

For the future of Su Chengxun and his children, Haishi had no choice but to endure it for the time being.

Su Shunci rested his hands on the stone table in the pavilion and supported his chin with both hands. The two red golden butterflies on her head swayed, making her face look so pretty.

"That's too frustrating. Sometimes I see Third Aunt coming out of Songhe Hall, and the corners of her eyes are red."

"There is also the fifth sister. I often visit her these days when I am in the house. Anyway, I am a ruthless person, so Su Xiangling still has some scruples."

Su Qingyu felt a little emotional for a moment. She protected Ah Ci before she got married, and now Ah Ci can protect her fifth sister.

After thinking for a moment, she said to Su Shunci: "In a few days, I will go back to your house with you."

She had not touched the Su family because she had not found her brother. She wanted to find her brother before deciding what to do with the people in the Su family. Now that the second branch was in power, she had to suppress it. And she also had to find out what was in Su Xiangling's purse.

Seeing that the little girl was leaning her head and looking a little depressed, Su Qingyu stopped mentioning the matter.

"Aci, there are lotus roots in the pond behind this courtyard. The woman in the kitchen said that she would dig lotus roots in the afternoon and make glutinous rice and lotus roots for us to eat in the evening."

"Do you want to go and have a look?"

Su Shunci's depressed expression immediately disappeared, "Go, I haven't seen how lotus roots are dug?"

"What does glutinous rice and lotus root look like? I haven't eaten it either."

Su Qingyu took her hand and walked back, "I heard that this glutinous rice lotus root is a snack from Jiangnan. It's sweet and fragrant."

"Then let's go quickly, this sounds delicious."

During dinner, there was indeed a plate of sliced ​​glutinous rice and lotus roots on the table, with a layer of osmanthus honey sprinkled on top.

Because the four of them were close, they didn't care about the gender differences and sat at the same table.

From the moment she sat down, Su Shunci stared at the plate of glutinous rice and lotus root. But she didn't pick it up. When Lin Wuchen put it into the bowl, she stared at him with burning eyes.

After taking a bite, Lin Wuchen noticed Su Shunci's expression and rolled his eyes at her, "You want to eat your own food, why are you staring at mine?"

Su Shunci asked expectantly: "Third cousin, is it delicious?"

Lin Wuchen remembered that he hadn't seen the two sisters all afternoon. He looked at Ou Root and then at Su Shunci, "Did you do this?"

Su Shunci: "I washed it."

Lin Wuchen:......

"No wonder it tastes so good, it turns out it was washed by my fourth cousin."

Su Shunci immediately beamed after receiving the compliment, and then started to eat.

Su Qingyu gave Lin Wuchen a thumbs up. It had to be her third cousin to coax the child.

After Su Shunci moved in, she had a lot of fun all day long, but she was quite quiet for the first two days. It's nothing more than admiring flowers, catching butterflies, or feeding the koi in the pond.

But my favorite thing is watching people fishing, digging lotus roots and picking lotus pods.

So when it was time to catch fish, someone would come and call her to see it.

On the third day, Su Shunci finally couldn't help but beg Su Qingyu, "Sister, can you let me go down and catch a fish?"

At this time, several people had just finished breakfast. Before Su Qingyu could speak, Lin Wuchen spoke sharply, "No."

Realizing that the voice was a bit loud, he softened his tone.

"The water is so deep there. With your small body, you will sink in if you go down there."

Su Shunci naturally refused to give up and snorted, "But Erya, who was cooking the fire in the kitchen, said that she went down to catch fish and dig lotus roots."

Erya who was lighting the fire was the daughter of Mrs. Zhao in the kitchen, and Erya's father also worked in another courtyard.

When Lin Wuchen thought of the water in the pond, there was no room for negotiation in his tone.

"That won't work either. What's wrong with you, the dignified young lady of Pingninghou Mansion, fishing for fish?"

When Su Shunci faced Lin Wuchen, she always felt as if she had awakened from a rebellious state.

She held her waist with both hands and stood in front of Lin Wuchen, "Who stipulates that the ladies of the Hou Mansion cannot fish?" Then she turned to look at Shen Zhixiu, "Brother-in-law, you are familiar with the law. The "Dazhou Code" said this. What?"

At this time, she was not as afraid of Shen Zhixiu as usual.

Shen Zhixiu couldn't stop laughing, and Su Qingyu even bent over with laughter.

Shen Zhixiu coughed lightly and said, "Fourth sister is right, the Great Zhou Law does not say that."

Then he said to Lin Wuchen: "She can play if she wants. I'll have someone pump out half of the water. That's easy."

Su Qingyu was naturally reluctant to let her sister down. Besides, Aci was thirteen years old and could not play for two years.

After Shen Zhixiu said that the water could be pumped out, Su Qingyu also advised, "Then go ahead. We are the only ones in the other courtyard, and this matter will not be spread outside."

Lin Wuchen could only turn away and snorted, "After making trouble for a long time, I became a bad person."

Su Qingyu winked at Su Shunci, and Su Shunci understood.

"Third cousin, I know you are doing it for my own good. Don't worry, third cousin, I'll just play for a while."

Lin Wuchen's expression softened a lot when he heard this, "You are the only ones who know how to spoil children."

Just like that, Shen Zhixiu ordered the people below to pump out the water from the pond.

The group of four arrived at the pond and found that the remaining water was just above their ankles.

Su Qingyu was completely relieved. Su Shunci had already changed into Erya's pants. She was wearing a pair of boots, which fit the pants perfectly.

She looked excited and carefully followed the two women into the pond.

Seeing a palm-long crucian carp swimming under her feet, Su Shunci was too frightened to move.

Lin Wuchen shouted from the shore, "Aren't you catching fish? Are you catching them?"

Su Shunci suddenly realized that she was here to catch fish.

When a fish slipped under her feet again, Su Shunci immediately rushed towards the fish with quick eyes and hands.

She didn't catch any fish, and she fell straight into the water. Two maids hurriedly pulled her up, and her face was covered with mud.

Su Qingyu, Lin Wuchen and others almost burst out laughing. The two women turned pale with fright, fearing that the masters on the shore would blame them.

Su Shunci was not squeamish, she raised her sleeves and wiped the mud from her face, and shouted to Su Qingyu: "Sister, wait, let's grill the fish tonight."

Lin Wuchen curled his lips and said, "With her attitude, the fish will be exhausted to death."

Su Qingyu glanced at him sideways, "You can do it, just go down and fish it out."

He looked Lin Wuchen up and down again. He was wearing a moon-white brocade robe and had an elegant and noble temperament. He was not someone who would go fishing.

At this moment, Su Shunci fell into the water again, and Lin Wuchen frowned slightly.

He stood up and said, "Find me some neat clothes, and I'll go down and try them on too."

Su Qingyu looked at him in surprise, was this still the third cousin who was so clean that he was sick?

When Lin Wuchen went to change clothes, Wen Zhu suddenly came over and whispered beside Shen Zhixiu.

"Third Master, Mr. Chen Ge would like to ask you to go to the cabinet to check in."

"what's up?"

"The person who came didn't say anything. He only said that His Royal Highness is also waiting for you."
