Hearing her say this, Shen Zhixiu shook his head and said, "Such a trick is useless to me."

After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned to look at Su Qingyu, holding her bright cheeks with both hands.

His deep eyes looked at her seriously, their gazes intertwined, as if to carve her into his bones.

"Qingqing, what I said to you in the Hall of Supreme Harmony today was not a joke, it was true. In this life, having you is enough for me."

"From now on, no matter if it's a plot or a reward, I promise that there won't be any other women in my backyard."

He knew in his heart that the topic of concubines would appear in their lives from time to time in the future. He couldn't escape it or avoid it.

Rather than letting Su Qingyu think too much, he might as well explain it to her first. He was not afraid of those things and could handle them well. But he was only afraid of affecting her mood.

He spoke so seriously and with such affection that Su Qingyu was momentarily distracted.

When she married Shen Zhixiu, she just wanted to be a qualified third wife of the Shen family. Later, she didn't know when her heart softened little by little. The gap in her heart was filled by him, and there was no room for anyone else.

Su Qingyu put her arms around his neck and took the initiative to move closer to lick the corner of his lips.

Then she met his eyes again and spoke seriously.

"Shen Zhixiu, have you made up your mind? Will you promise me that we will be together for the rest of our lives?"

"I could have been a qualified clan wife, but since you made this promise today, don't blame me for being jealous tomorrow."

She had seen this kind of thing many times. When couples first got married, they were in love. Then the woman aged and the man began to take concubines into the house one by one. If the woman disagreed, she would be scolded by the man for being jealous and by the mother-in-law for not being worthy of being the main wife.

It’s not that she didn’t trust Shen Zhixiu, but she was afraid that deep love could not withstand the passage of time.

Shen Zhixiu held the back of her head tightly, and their foreheads touched each other.

"Qingqing, believe me. If I betray you..."

Su Qingyu didn't let him say the rest and kissed him actively.

As long as he said it, she was willing to believe it.

……

The next morning, Su Qingyu had breakfast and left home for Huajin Pavilion.

In the carriage, Pearl said, "Didn't Madam allow me to go back to see my parents yesterday during the festival?"

"I heard that the old lady later took the Gu family back and said that she would let them return to Pingzhou after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"But I didn't expect that two or three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't know why, those people left again. Some people said that it was the cousin of the Gu family who offended the second lady, I don't know if it's true."

Su Qingyu smiled faintly and said, "Maybe it was a collision, or maybe Second Aunt couldn't stand it anymore."

As the saying goes, whoever is hit by the stick will feel the pain.

When she arrived at Huajin Pavilion, Su Shunci was counting goods in the warehouse.

Seeing her coming, Su Shunci handed over the rest of the matters to the clerk and accompanied Su Qingyu to sit in the small flower hall behind the shop.

"Why are you here, big sister? You must be tired after going to the palace yesterday. You should rest more at home."

Su Qingyu pulled Su Shunci's hand over, took the bracelet that Feicui handed over, and helped Su Shunci put it on her wrist.

"I came to see you and bring you something good."

Su Shunci doesn't have as many valuable jewelry as Su Qingyu, but one can tell at a glance that this bracelet is no ordinary item.

"Big sister, I can't accept such a valuable thing."

As he said this, he was about to take off the bracelet, but Su Qingyu stopped him by holding his hand.

"You need to wear something nice now. Even if it's just for show, you can't be too casual in your clothing."

"And I think the color of this bracelet suits you."

Although the gift was from the Song family, she was not afraid that the Song family would know that she gave the bracelet to Su Shunci. After seeing this, the Song family would only be kinder to Su Shunci.

Even if Su Shunci didn't say it, Su Qingyu knew it. After being kicked out of the Su family, the business would definitely be affected. Some families value etiquette and would think that it is a shame to kick out their daughter, so they would no longer patronize.

There were also some people who looked down on her and even bullied her because they thought she no longer had the support of the Marquisate.

Although she didn't need to pay special attention to these people, she didn't want others to look down on Su Shunci.

She wanted to show these people that even if she left the Su family, her sister would live better than them.

Although gold, silver, treasures, and pearls and jade jewelry are vulgar, they can also give people confidence. At least those who are not as well dressed as Ah Ci will feel a little weaker in momentum.

Su Shunci saw the deep meaning behind Su Qingyu's words, and his eyes became hot.

These days, she had seen too many cold eyes and heard too many rumors. Although she felt uncomfortable, she managed to get through it.

But now, in front of her elder sister, she became the spoiled sister again.

She couldn't help but lean on Su Qingyu's shoulder, and raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Don't worry, big sister, I won't be bullied."

Su Qingyu patted Su Shunci's face lovingly, "I've been coming to your place so often these days, and I have to let people know that my sister has someone backing her up."

Su Shunci hurriedly said, "Eldest sister is still in charge of the household affairs of the mansion, so don't worry about me. Third cousin also comes here often and helps me a lot."

She didn't dare to trouble Su Qingyu too much. It was said that married women had to live under the influence of their mother-in-law. She was afraid that the Shen family would be dissatisfied with Su Qingyu because of her.

When Su Shunci mentioned Lin Wuchen, Su Qingyu thought of the last incident again.

He asked mysteriously, "Has anyone gone to propose marriage to my third cousin recently?"

Just as Su Shunci was about to answer, she heard shouting coming from outside.

"Where is your shopkeeper? Take a quick look at your cloth. You are selling it at such a high price, using inferior goods as good ones?"

"Don't buy their materials anymore. They're not worth that much money."

"No wonder he was kicked out of the Su family. He turned out to be a black-hearted person."
