Su Qingyu heard Su Chengye say that he only valued filial piety and not things. She found it funny for no reason. Isn't the filial piety of the Su family measured by these?

"Since father wants to compare, then let's do it."

"From childhood to adulthood, my mother has taken care of me wholeheartedly without any slacking."

"Where's my father? He has many illegitimate sons and daughters, and he's also raising other people's children. He cares more about other people's children than his own."

Su Qingyu was talking about Cheng Rujin and Su Yuanche, a brother and sister. This matter was also a thorn in Su Chengye's heart. Now no one in the Su family dared to mention it, and only Su Qingyu could say it so bluntly.

Su Chengye's face suddenly changed, "What nonsense are you talking about? That's all in the past."

Su Qingyu sneered in her heart. What happened to the past? Do we have to let it go just because it’s over?

In her previous life, she was imprisoned in the Su family's inner house for three days and was killed by Cheng Ruijin and Shen Zhao. Cheng Ruijin also raised a child in the Su family for more than two years.

All of these things were the result of Su Chengye's connivance.

She hated Cheng Rujin and Shen Zhao, as well as her father and grandmother. The betrayal of one's family was far more painful than the pain caused by others.

Su Qingyu ignored Su Chengye's change of expression and continued speaking.

"My food, clothing and daily expenses since I was a child were all earned by my mother working outside. My dowry was also paid by my mother and my maternal grandparents."

"My mother hired a teacher to teach me how to read and play the piano, recite poetry and paint. Later, she also taught me how to manage the household and how to keep accounts."

"I want to ask my father, what have you done for me? And why do you compare yourself with my mother?"

Su Qingyu's questioning, word by word, made Su Chengye's expression change again and again.

He thought he had a lot to say to refute Su Qingyu, but when he was about to open his mouth, he couldn't say a word.

As far as he could remember, he didn't spend much time with his daughter, especially since Su Qingyu grew up with the old man when she was a child, so it was not his turn to teach her.

The most profound scenes with my daughter were all in the past year, when the two of them were at loggerheads.

Of course, he didn't think he was wrong. He just thought his daughter was too aggressive and disrespectful to her parents.

"Enough. I'm saying that you treat me and your mother differently. What nonsense are you talking about?" Su Chengye slammed the table next to him, obviously a little angry and embarrassed.

Su Qingyu stood up and said, "It was my father who wanted to compare. Didn't I learn this from you? You are comparing what my mother and I have received, why don't you compare who is more devoted to his daughter?"

Before leaving, Su Qingyu stopped and spoke again.

"People, even family members, always give and take. My mother gave a lot, so I give a lot in return. My father didn't give that much, so don't ask me for anything. I've already given a lot in this carload of New Year gifts."

"It's like planting crops. If you don't weed or water them, then in the fall you'll complain about a poor harvest. Isn't that unreasonable?"

After she finished speaking, she walked out without waiting for anyone in the Su family to react.

After leaving Songhe Hall, Su Qingyu went to Qingyin Garden to meet the third wife, Mrs. Hai.

When I entered the room, Hai was sitting under the window doing needlework, apparently making knee pads.

Seeing Su Qingyu coming, she put down the things in her hands, stood up and welcomed Su Qingyu in.

After greeting each other and sitting down, Su Qingyu took out a stack of silver bills from her bosom and stuffed it into Hai's hand.

"Aunt, this is three thousand taels of silver. New Year's expenses are high, so take it, Aunt."

Hai was a gentle person, came from a noble family, and attached great importance to rules and etiquette.

He quickly refused, "How can this be possible? I can't ask you for money anymore. You have been supporting us a lot in the past six months."

Su Qingyu stuffed the banknote that Hai had pushed over to her into her hand again.

"Don't be polite to me, Aunt San. I'm married now, so I should be filial to my uncle and aunt San."

"Third Uncle often has no choice in the mansion. Not only does the mansion not help him, but it also takes his salary. If Third Aunt has some money to rely on, it can also help my brothers and sisters suffer less."

Hai's eyes immediately turned red. Su Qingyu's words really hit the nail on the head. She could bear to be bullied, but she couldn't bear to see the children being wronged.

In the past six months, all the money in the family has been given to the Marquis' Mansion. The New Year is coming, but my daughter hasn't even made a new headdress. The clothes for the New Year are made in the mansion, and the material is much worse than what she usually wears.

Su Chengxun was born out of wedlock and was not favored, so the betrothal gift was small when she got married. The Hai family was noble and only had a good reputation, so naturally the dowry was not much.

The family of four has lived in Suzhou for so many years, and she has been frugal and has saved some money.

But after just over half a year back in Beijing, the bottom had already been reached.

Whenever Su Chengxun talked about this, he felt guilty and felt sorry for his wife. Hai couldn't bear to see him busy with official duties and worry about the family. So he didn't say anything about the grievances he suffered.

Unexpectedly, her niece saw through all of this and gave her money again and again.

After Su Qingyu got married, she would return to the Marquis' Mansion to give gifts on every festival, and she also gave the most subsidies to the third room, both openly and secretly.

Hai was touched but also felt embarrassed. Su Qingyu was a junior, but she still cared about them.

Su Qingyu knew that although Hai had a gentle personality, she was influenced by the Hai family's family tradition and had a proud character.

She then took her hand and said sincerely, "Aunt San, please don't be so formal with me. This is not considered as subsidy. It is my filial piety to Uncle San and Aunt San."

"When I have a child in the future, please remember to make some gold jewelry and new clothes for him. I will definitely not refuse when the time comes."

Hai's eyes became even redder.

Su Qingyu thought that once she had a child, her uncle and aunt would have a better life.

The current situation of the Su family is only temporary. After my brother returns triumphantly to Beijing and traces his roots, he will definitely reorganize the Su family.

She suddenly remembered that her brother was crowned king when he returned to Beijing in her previous life. That meant that he had earned the title through military merit.

The Su family's title...

At this time, the third young master of the Su family, Su Yuanyi, came in. He smiled and bowed to his mother and elder sister, then stood aside obediently. He said that he was reviewing his lessons, and when he heard that his elder sister was here, he came to greet her.

Su Qingyu's mind was on the Su family's title, and her eyes fell on Su Yuanyi.

A sudden thought came to her mind, but she suppressed it and smiled as she chatted with Su Yuanyi.

She was reborn, and many things had changed. Everything had to wait until her brother returned to Beijing before making plans. It was too early to say this now.

After sitting in Qingyin Garden for a while, Su Qingyu stood up and said goodbye.

She did not leave the house directly, but went to the Bishui Pavilion, the courtyard where she lived before her marriage.

Amber was going to get married in the first month of the year, and what Pearl and the others were holding in their hands was Amber's dowry.

Amber's engagement is to Lin Changsheng, the eldest son of the Lin family. It was originally agreed that Amber would get married at the end of the year. She would spend the Little New Year at home and the Big New Year at the Lin family.

Because the eldest son of the Lin family is currently working with Lin Wuchen, and there are many things to do at the end of the year, the wedding date was changed to the first month of the year.

When Amber got engaged, Su Qingyu returned the indenture contract to her. However, Amber was not in a hurry to leave the mansion and stayed at the Bishui Pavilion.

Returning to the Bishui Pavilion again, Su Qingyu had the illusion that things and people had changed. Nothing in the courtyard had changed, yet everything had changed.

Not far away, Amber was trimming the holly trees beside the flower bed, and she told the maid beside her, "The young lady doesn't like the holly trees to be too thick, so trim them to be fresher."

Pearl called out, "Amber, look who's back."
