Rong Huai was stunned. How could the Shen family agree to having Shen Yue as their concubine?

Shen Wu knew that he would react this way, and explained in a low voice: "If it were a normal proposal of marriage, the family would definitely not agree. So I came up with an idea to cook the rice from raw to cooked. It doesn't matter if I don't agree at that time, I can still give it as a gift. Does she go to the temple to practice?"

Rong Huai thought of Shen Yue's gentle face, good figure, and identity as the legitimate daughter of the Shen family.

My heart felt as if it had been struck by lightning, numbing and tingling.

But he said: "Madam, is this not good? After all, she is your sister, and I am her brother-in-law. If this kind of thing spreads, it will not be good for Madam's reputation."

Indeed, it was the Shen family that was embarrassed when word spread about this. Others would only say that his son, Rong, was romantic and affectionate, enjoying the blessings of others.

Shen Wu had been married to him for several years and could tell what he was thinking at a glance.

She suppressed the resentment in her heart and said to Rong Huai.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say first. If your Majesty agrees, then this will be done."

"You said."

Shen Wu said: "First, Shen Yue enters the house as a concubine. Before giving birth to a child, she can only live in the same courtyard with me."

"Second, no matter how many children she gives birth to, they must all be recorded in my name."

"Third, if there is any conflict or dispute between our sisters, the Crown Prince is not allowed to intervene."

Shen Wu made this three-part agreement just to keep Shen Yue in the palm of his hand. She was said to be a concubine, but in fact she was just a humble cousin in her room. She didn't allow the Rong family to promote her, and she didn't allow Rong Huai to have private contact with her.

Rong Huai agreed without hesitation, "Okay, you are the wife of the wife, so I will naturally listen to you."

"Wu'er, you are really my husband's interpreter. You have worked hard for the children of the Rong family. Don't worry, my husband will never let you down in this life."

Rong hugged Shen Wu with a smile on his face.

Shen Wu rested his chin on his shoulder, lowered his eyelashes and said nothing. Rong Huai should thank her. All his concubines put together are not as good as Shen Yue.

After the two warmed up for a moment, Shen Wu told Rong Huai again.

"You come to see me tomorrow morning, and I'll call Third Sister to talk to you then."

"You don't have to worry about other things, I'll make arrangements."

Su Qingyu only regarded Princess Rongjun's arrival as a matter of fun and sent her away without thinking more about it. She never imagined that this matter would eventually involve Shen Yue.

After dinner, the servants served tea to clear their mouths. Su Qingyu touched her belly and said, "I seem to have eaten too much."

What she ate today was lotus root and fish sent from another hospital. Su Qingyu ate half a bowl more rice than usual.

Shen Zhixiu pulled her up and said, "Let's go for a walk in the back garden to relax."

The two of them intertwined their fingers and walked slowly.

"Qingqing, Marquis Zhongyi mentioned something to me today. He wants to marry Shen Yue on behalf of her concubine Song Hongshen. What do you think?"

"Although Song Hongshen is a concubine of the Song family, his knowledge and character are among the best among the noble sons in the capital."

When Marquis Zhongyi mentioned it today, he felt a little moved. Whether it was the Song family or Song Hongshen, he was satisfied. With his friendship with the Song family, Shen Yue would not be wronged if she married him.

Although Marquis Zhongyi was the chief military officer, Song Hongshen was a concubine and Shen Yue was the eldest daughter, so the emperor would not say anything.

However, he did not agree on the spot. He thought that he would still ask Su Qingyu and then Shen Yue what he meant.

When Su Qingyu heard him mention Song Hongshen, she thought of her past life again. Around this time, Song Hongshen and Su Yihui got engaged, but their engagement was an accident.

In her previous life, Su Yihui fell into the water and was fortunately rescued by Song Hongshen. But Su Yihui, whether intentionally or unintentionally, kept hugging Song Hongshen after being rescued. At that time, this incident caused a sensation, and the Song family had no choice but to propose marriage.

Su Yihui married into a wealthy family, but in the end she gave Song Hongshen a cuckold.

In the previous life, Song Hongshen and Li Yunzhou worked together to open up territories and expand the territory, and were granted the title of king and returned to Beijing. If this marriage can be settled, Yu Chenyue will be a good destination.

Shen Zhixiu added: "Actually, Yunzhou is also a good candidate, but after he returns to Beijing, he may break up with the Li family. If Shen Yue is married at this time, things will become more complicated."

Su Qingyu also shook her head, "The Li family is not good, Princess Yongjia has a heart of snakes and scorpions. Shen Yue is trying to survive under her hands, who knows what kind of torture she will get."

"I'll ask Shen Yue again in the next two days to see what she means to Song Hongshen. I heard that my sister-in-law is not doing well in Zhuangzi, so I have to hurry up and get married. We can't delay Shen Yue's lifelong events because of her."

In the past few days, the mother-in-law of Zhuangzi came to the house to report that Mrs. Chen, the eldest lady, has been wailing most of the time and her body is in severe pain. The pain was so unbearable that I fainted for several hours.

If this continues, I'm afraid time is running out. Mr. Zhou said that it would only last for one year at most.

Shen Zhixiu said apologetically: "Thank you for your hard work. Things in the house are already complicated, and you have to worry about the marriage of your children."

Su Qingyu gave him a scolding look and said jokingly: "That's good. I'll have experience watching the marriages of my children in the future."

Shen Zhixiu stopped and teased: "Qingqing, don't worry, you can nurse her back to health for more than a year, and then we will have children. As many as you want, I will cooperate with you as a husband."

Su Qingyu knew that he was not serious, so she snorted.

"How many children does Third Master want to have?"

"One is never too few, and three or five are never too many."

"Third Master, do you want a son or a daughter?"

"As long as it's your birth, it's fine."

Su Qingyu was thinking about what Su Shunci said in her letter, so she had breakfast the next day, finished her business at home, and then got up and went to Yushu Hutong.

When she got off the carriage, she saw a carriage parked at the door of her mother's house. Judging from the carriage, it didn't look like someone from the Su family was coming.

Su Qingyu was confused, did her mother have guests?

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Bai Lu greeted her.

"The eldest lady is here. Madam is talking with Young Master Li Si in the main hall."

Su Qingyu was a little surprised, Li Yunzhou is here?

She entered the door and didn't hear what the two were talking about. She only heard her mother's laughter.

"What is mother talking about? She looks so happy. Why is the fourth young master here too?"

Li Yunzhou stood up and saluted Su Qingyu, "Hello, Third Madam. The steward of the mansion came back from Yunzhou Mansion and brought a lot of local products. I remembered that Aunt Lin is from Yunzhou Mansion, so I brought some to her."

Su Qingyu motioned to Li Yunzhou to sit down, and after thanking him, they chatted about home affairs.

Lin Wanyin told a lot of interesting things about business, and Su Qingyu and Li Yunzhou listened with interest.

Su Qingyu thought of what Shen Zhixiu said yesterday, and suddenly her heart moved.

He asked, "Fourth Young Master, what do you think of Song Hongshen, the third young master of the Song family?"

Li Yunzhou was puzzled, "What does the third lady mean?"

The teacher also taught Song Hongshen privately and knew him well. The teacher's wife wants to find out, just ask the teacher.

Su Qingyu thought that it was no secret that Shen Yue was planning to get married, so she didn't hide it.

"Isn't this for Shen Yue to discuss marriage? I always want to inquire about the young masters from these aristocratic families in Beijing."

"The Third Master is his elder, so I thought it would be better to ask you again. You are similar in age, so you may know more than the Third Master."
