When Su Qingyu saw Su Shunci saying one sentence after another, she knew that she had been enduring it for a long time.

He handed her another apricot, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Su Shunci took the apricots, broke them apart, removed the core and handed the pulp to Su Qingyu. He picked up another one, broke it open and ate it.

"Tell you what to do? You have enough to worry about in charge of the Shen family's house. I can handle these things in the house."

When she was young, she was ignorant and always thought that the most blessed person in the mansion was the mistress of the house. From the top to the bottom, from concubines to young ladies and masters, to maids and old women, everyone in the mansion had to listen to the mistress of the house.

But since she took charge of the Su family's shop and was exhausted all day long, she realized how difficult it was to be the mistress of the house. You have to take care of the chores in the house and the business outside the house. You must also serve your husband, be filial to your parents-in-law, and educate your children.

So ever since Su Qingyu took over the Shen family, she felt particularly sorry for this eldest sister. This was the point she was talking about today, so she couldn't help but mention a few words.

Su Qingyu looked at her sister dotingly and said softly: "Actually, these things are not important. You don't have to take it to heart who your father is willing to favor or promote."

"You just need to remember that you have already grasped all the money that should be in your hands."

"No matter who in the house bullies you two, you will fight me back."

"It's like taking care of a child. The more times you hit her, the harder it will become. You have to beat her in one go. Even if she can't be beaten to death, you still have to let her peel off her skin. Make her afraid when she thinks of you. provoke."

Su Shunci's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded hastily, "I remember, don't worry, big sister, I won't be bullied."

Su Qingyu thought of the business that called her here today and said, "I plan to cut off the way for the Su family's silk shop to purchase goods."

Su Shunci reached out and patted the stone table, "That's how it should be, and we should let them know the stakes. Otherwise, they would think that the Su family's shop makes money because of the blessing of their ancestors."

Su Qingyu was a little surprised by her reaction, "Aren't you angry? This shop is your hard work."

Su Shunci broke open another apricot and threw it into her mouth. "I know how much I am capable of. If it weren't for my mother's good management, I wouldn't have been able to make money right after taking over the shop. After I took over the shop, my third cousin has been helping me."

At this point, she sighed again, "To be honest, big sister, I have always felt bad. You helped me earn money for the Su family, but the Su family turned around and plotted against mother."

"It's okay if this shop is closed. I'll go back to my hometown and tide over the difficulties with the Su family. I'll see if these people still have the energy to make trouble."

Anyway, over the years, my mother and eldest sister have provided a lot of support to their mother and daughter, no matter what, they can't starve to death.

Su Qingyu felt a little emotional for a moment. Her sister, who was still childish last year, has really grown up.

"Before, you were considered the shopkeeper of the Su family outside, and all the money you earned was handed over to the father-in-law. What if all the money you earned belonged to you? Are you willing?" Su Qingyu asked again with a smile.

Su Shunci didn't know why, "Sister, do you mean to let me take the Su family's shop as my own?"

Of course she wanted to make money. If she made more money, she and her aunt would be able to live a better life for the rest of their lives.

These days, she has understood many things from her mother and eldest sister. Even if you are a woman, you must rely on yourself as much as possible. Some people can be relied on for a while, but not necessarily for a lifetime.

Su Qingyu shook her head, "It's not about taking it for yourself, it's about Li Daitao."

Although Su Shunci didn't particularly understand, she also understood a little of what Su Qingyu meant. His eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at her with burning eyes, waiting for her to continue.

"We have all this stuff in our hands, and you are the one who takes care of the customers in Beijing. If the Su family's shop closes, and you open a new one, won't you still be selling goods to make money?"

Su Shunci patted her thigh and said, "Sister, this is a good idea."

After saying that, his face fell again, "I'm not married yet, so I can't have private property."

It is written in the "Dazhou Law" that women can have private property only after they get married. When she goes out now, she can't even buy a shop.

Su Qingyu smiled and said, "What's the big deal? If you don't trust me, I'll handle these things for you. The shop will be with me for now, and I'll give it to you when you get married."

Su Shunci immediately expressed her position, "Of course I believe eldest sister, then I will go back and calculate how much money my aunt and I have. The shop is easy to find, and I can still afford the money to rent a shop. Even those goods are not cheap. I'm afraid they will be lost all at once. We can’t afford to import so much goods.”

"Don't worry about the money, I'll take care of it for you." Su Qingyu comforted her.

Su Shunci lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, "Sister, do you think this is okay? You contribute the money and I contribute the effort. Each of us will earn half of the money."

Her elder sister has been very good to her, she can’t keep taking advantage of her.

Su Qingyu refused without a second thought, "Then you might as well return the money to me. With the income from your previous shop, you can make back your investment in half a year. If you keep giving me half, then you will lose money, right?"

However, Su Shunci insisted on partnering with Su Qingyu, and said that if Su Qingyu did not agree, her shop would not open.

Su Qingyu shook her head helplessly and could only agree to her proposal. At worst, when she gets married, all the money will be used as a dowry for her.

"Don't tell anyone about it yet. I'll ask my third cousin to find a safe shopkeeper for you. When the time comes, you will be the boss behind it, and the outside affairs will be left to this shopkeeper."

After all, it’s a girl’s house. It’s fine now that I’m young, but if I get older, it won’t be easy to move around like this.

Before Su Shunci left, Su Qingyu said again: "I guess I won't be able to hide this matter in the end, and the family will definitely make a fuss if they know it. When the time comes, you will send someone to find me, and I will find a way to deal with it for you."

"Yes, big sister, I remember."

After Su Shunci left, Su Qingyu saw that it was getting late, so she said goodbye to Lin Wanyin and returned to Shen's house.

When I entered the door, I happened to meet Li Chaoyun who had just returned from the palace.

"Please greet Third Aunt. My mother misunderstood what happened today. Third Aunt won't blame her, right?"

Li Chaoyun said this, but there was an undercurrent in his eyes.

Su Qingyu smiled and said, "The princess' words are serious, the late empress will naturally understand the princess's painstaking efforts."

As if he didn't hear the sarcasm in Su Qingyu's words, Li Chaoyun bowed and returned to Hanshuiyuan.

After entering the small study, Li Chaoyun dismissed the waiters, leaving only Qian Dai, the dowry maid.

Instructing Qian Dai to study the ink, she picked up the pen and wrote a letter. The written letter was sealed with wax and she told Qian Dai: "Send the letter to His Royal Highness, don't let it be discovered."

Qian Dai was Li Chaoyun's confidant and hesitated for a moment while holding the letter.

"Does the princess want to make a move on the fourth young master? Should she ask the princess?"

Qiandai knew that the princess had become interested because the master and servant had accidentally discovered the fourth young master's secret today.

Li Chaoyun said casually: "I know that my mother has a use for him, so I won't kill him, but let him suffer a little."

She made up her mind to make Li Yunzhou's arm completely useless.
