A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Su Yuanqing subconsciously wanted to say that Su Xiangling was the mastermind. His voice was not too loud, but He who was beside him heard it clearly.

Upon hearing this, He immediately grabbed Su Yuanqing and pinched his arm hard.

Then he whispered, "Don't mention your sister. If you dare to say it was your sister's idea again, I won't forgive you."

This was the first time that He, who had always favored her son, spoke up for her daughter.

Maybe it was because of the heartache for her daughter that had just surged up in her. Maybe it was because of Su Xiangling's current status that she couldn't bear to ruin her future.

Even He himself didn't know why.

But I have to protect my daughter, and I have to protect my son as well.

It was so cold, how could anyone live in a place like the Ministry of Justice Prison? I was afraid that they would be half dead after one night.

She looked up and saw Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu talking with their heads down. Shen Zhixiu looked at Su Qingyu with a look of doting.

He walked straight to Su Qingyu and knelt down.

"Miss, please spare your brother for the sake of our blood relationship."

"Please plead for Second Aunt. Second Aunt can only count on you."

"Your grandmother is still ill. If she knew, her condition would definitely get worse. Miss, you don't want to be an unfilial granddaughter, right?"

He's voice was quite loud, and several officials from the Ministry of Revenue who were about to leave looked over.

Su Qingyu frowned, a layer of impatience appeared on her face. She didn't know what He was thinking when he asked her, the victim, for help.

The moment He knelt down, Su Qingyu moved away and did not accept her greeting.

After listening to her, he continued in a cold voice: "The prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Not to mention my cousin, even if I committed a crime, I would have to accept the trial of the Great Zhou Law."

"As for grandma, if she is really angry about this and her condition worsens, then it is my second brother who is unfilial."

"If you want to kneel, go ahead. It's freezing cold. I'll go back first."

Jade and Pearl brought the cloak and helped her tie it on, and handed her the prepared heater.

Before leaving, Su Qingyu told Su Shunci, "When you and mother are done with your work tonight, go home early."

These days, Su Qingyu has been helping at noon, and Lin Wanyin has been coming at night. Su Shunci is here all day, and fortunately, Lin Wuchen is also here most of the time, so Su Qingyu has nothing to worry about.

Su Shunci said yes and told her to go back without worry.

Shen Zhixiu gave a few more instructions to the official on duty at the Ministry of Revenue, then got on the carriage with Su Qingyu and returned home.

Although there was heavy snow in the capital, the imperial guards had been clearing the snow non-stop, so the streets were relatively clean and the carriages were moving steadily.

Su Qingyu was looking at the street outside through the gap in the curtain. The capital was under the emperor's feet, and the disaster relief efforts were strong. There were no victims begging outside, or freezing or starving to death on the roadside.

But the situation outside the capital is unknown.

Su Qingyu thought of Li Yunzhou who was still fighting in the northern border, and a trace of worry appeared between her brows. The capital is so cold, how much colder will it be further north?

Shen Zhixiu hated to see her frowning, so he put his arm around her shoulders and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"

Su Qingyu suppressed her worries, turned around and gave him a smile.

"I want to eat the beef pie from Chengnan Wangji."

Shen Zhixiu raised his voice and ordered Wen Zhu, "Go to the south of the city."

Su Qingyu nestled in his arms, quietly watching the snow passing by outside.

Suddenly, Shen Zhixiu said, "Everything is fine in Yunzhou. Good news came this morning."

"The food and fodder we prepared earlier has been delivered to Yunzhou."

"As for the grain and grass that the Li family is transporting, they are at Black Tiger Mountain, and Wuchen's people are already prepared."

"When they report that the food and grass have been robbed, the guards will relax a lot. Then Wuchen's people will rob the food and grass and send it directly to Yunzhou."

Su Qingyu was startled, "How do you know I'm worried about this?"

Shen Zhixiu couldn't help laughing, and hugged her directly on his lap, holding her tightly with both hands.

His chin rested on her shoulder. "How could I not know what you are thinking? Don't worry, Yunzhou is a natural talent, otherwise I wouldn't have taught him so carefully for so many years."

Su Qingyu looked at the snow outside and suddenly remembered that she had been reborn for more than a year. Ever since she said in public at his funeral that she would remain faithful to him, they had been entangled with each other in the dark.

She raised her head, put her arms around his neck, and kissed him seriously.

Their lips and teeth were entangled wildly, and Shen Zhixiu's hands pinching her waist were getting hotter and hotter.

……

The two of them ate the pastries and returned to Shen's house. It was already completely dark.

After returning home, Shen Zhixiu went straight to the study. When he finished his work and went back to rest, Su Qingyu was already lying on the bed, breathing evenly.

He lay down beside her carefully, fearing to startle her. After lying down, he pulled her into his arms.

Su Qingyu showed no signs of waking up, and she found a familiar position and comfortable posture for herself.

Shen Zhixiu kissed her eyes and eyebrows with satisfaction before closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep.

The next day, Shen Zhixiu submitted a detailed report on the poisoning of the victims. Emperor Xuande was furious and sentenced He Guangfu to exile.

Later, He Guangju's political enemies impeached him, saying that he was the actual head of the He family's herbal medicine store.

Emperor Xuande interrogated He Guangju on the spot and after confirming the facts, he directly stripped him of his official uniform and dismissed him from his post.

As for the Su family, since there were no officials to be dismissed and the Su family had titles, their crimes did not warrant exile. In the end, Su Chengyan and Su Yuanqing were each given thirty strokes of the cane as a warning to others.

After dealing with the He and Su families, Shen Zhixiu asked who should be in charge of the medicinal materials for this disaster relief.

Emperor Xuande remembered what Shen Zhixiu said in his memorial. Lin Wuchen, the third young master of the Lin family, immediately brought the medicinal materials. He directly appointed the Lin family to take over the disaster relief work. Of course, the medicinal materials business of the inner palace was also handed over to the Lin family.

This matter lasted for two days, and the final benefit fell into Lin Wuchen's hands. Taking over the inner palace's medicinal materials business, the Lin family's status among merchants could be greatly improved. The annual income also directly increased by several percent.

Shen Zhixiu finished his court session and walked out of the hall with satisfaction. After two days of hard work, it was not in vain.

A few days later, Chen Ping finally reported back that the grain and fodder that were to be transported to the northern border had been robbed.

As soon as this news reached Qianyang Palace, the whole palace was in an uproar.
