After all, she had been serving Su Qingyu since she was a child, so Pearl's tone when calling Amber was as affectionate as before.

Amber turned her head, paused for a moment, then ran forward.

"The young lady is back, come in quickly, it's cold outside."

Since getting married, Su Qingyu seldom returned to the Su family, and even less to Bishui Pavilion.

After Amber came in, she started to bustle around, making tea and asking people to bring snacks.

Su Qingyu called her over and said softly, "Don't be busy. I'm here to give you your dowry."

As he said that, he told Pearl and the others to hand the things over.

Amber's eyes fell on a row of dowry boxes, and her eyes suddenly felt sore.

With a plop, he knelt in front of Su Qingyu.

"Thank you very much, Miss, for your concern."

Su Qingyu motioned for Zhenzhu to pull her up, and then said, "These dowries are for your support, so that Uncle Lin knows that I value you. Secondly, they are for your support, so that if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you will have some emergency money."

"Just marry him with peace of mind. I know the character of Uncle Lin and his wife. They are both honest and dutiful. If you have any difficulties in the future, come to the Shen family to find me. You guys have been with me for a long time, and I will never ignore you no matter what happens."

After saying this, not only Amber had tears in her eyes, but Pearl and the others also started wiping their eyes.

Pearl said in a muffled voice: "I won't marry, I will follow Madam."

Su Qingyu smiled and glared at Zhenzhu, wanting to say something, but seeing that there were many people in the room, she swallowed her words back.

Nothing has been decided yet, so it’s better not to tease this girl in front of so many people.

After giving the dowry and giving all the instructions, Su Qingyu stood up and planned to go to Yushu Hutong.

She had sent the New Year gifts, but she hadn't arrived yet. It was too late, and her mother would inevitably worry.

Just as I was about to walk out of the inner room, I heard Amber suddenly speak.

"Madam, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should tell you."

Su Qingyu stopped and went back to the inner room. Only Zhenzhu stayed with her, and the rest of the servants filed out.

She looked at Amber, "What do you want to say? Tell me."

Amber took two steps forward and whispered, "It's about Aunt Zeng. I found something wrong."

Su Qingyu was a little surprised. Although Hubo served her in the past and stayed in the Su family, she never asked her to pay attention to the movements in the mansion, nor did she let the maids come to her to inquire about the news.

Because she was going to get married, Su Qingyu didn't want her to be involved in the affairs of the inner house.

Su Qingyu sat down on the mahogany armchair and motioned Amber to tell her what was going on.

Amber whispered, "I once saw... Aunt Zeng having a tryst with someone."

Su Qingyu was not surprised at all. Her father had taken the sterilizing drug and Aunt Zeng was pregnant, so it was not surprising that Aunt Zeng had a secret meeting with someone.

She had never doubted Mr. Zhou's medicine. After all, he was a great doctor and it was impossible for the medicine to go wrong.

"How did you find out? Did you see clearly who the other person was?" Su Qingyu asked again.

Amber hesitated for a moment, then said shyly: "Lin Changsheng sent me things several times, and they were all delivered at the corner gate at night."

"I was afraid of being discovered by others in the mansion, so I went to get it quietly in the dark."

"One time, I arrived first and saw the servants beside Aunt Zeng bringing that person in. That person was wearing a green Taoist robe. I thought Aunt Zeng wanted to find someone to perform a ritual, so I didn't pay much attention."

"A few days later, I saw the two of them in... an abandoned room near the corner gate. Their clothes were disheveled, and they were tumbling together."

Amber risked being punished to say this to Su Qingyu. Although Aunt Zeng was wrong, she also made a big mistake by meeting other men at the corner gate several times and having sex with them privately.

Su Qingyu was attracted by the words "green Taoist robe" mentioned by Amber, and she thought of the Taoist priest she had met Su Chengyan before. She had asked Wenzhu to look for him before, but she couldn't find him, so she didn't look for him again.

It shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?

Seeing that Su Qingyu hadn't spoken for a long time, Hubo thought she was angry. She knelt on the ground and said, "Please forgive me, young lady. I know I was wrong."

Su Qingyu finally came to her senses and signaled Amber to stand up.

Then he asked, "Today is already the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month. Shouldn't you leave home and prepare for your marriage?"

Amber replied, "I am a family-born child. My parents both work in the mansion. So I can stay here until I get married. Miss, please let me know if you have anything to say."

Su Qingyu thought for a moment and said, "Then you should be alert these days. If you find them having a tryst in private again, send someone to the Shen family to find me."

Amber agreed solemnly and said that she would definitely take care of the matter.

After leaving the Su family, Su Qingyu went directly to Yushu Hutong.

When they entered, Lin Wanyin and Bai Sulian were watching the servants measuring Su Shunci's height and waist size.

Bai Sulian grumbled, "The clothes I made for you to wear during the Chinese New Year more than a month ago are too small now. I have to make new ones."

Lin Wanyin smiled and said, "She is in the growth stage. She has grown a lot in the past six months."

Su Shunci was cheerful, "I would rather make clothes once a month and pray to God to make me taller."

Su Qingyu couldn't help laughing and walked in.

"You're only fourteen after the New Year, you can still grow taller."

When Su Shunci saw Su Qingyu finally coming, she smiled and dimples appeared on her face.

"Big sister, you may not know that there are many new clothing styles in Jiangnan recently. They look better on tall people."

"I wish I could keep growing taller, and be as tall as my older sister."

Su Qingyu stood beside her and compared them. When she was reborn last year, there was a difference of one head between them. Now when they stood together, there was only a difference of half a head.

If this continues, Su Shunci might be taller than her.

After the people below measured the sizes, Su Shunci followed them down to choose the materials.

Lin Wanyin smiled and advised, "Choose something brighter. You are young, don't wear something that looks old-fashioned."

Ever since Bai Sulian and Su Shunci moved into Yushu Hutong, Lin Wanyin has been much happier than before.

She and Su Shunci were busy with the shop business outside, while Bai Sulian was taking care of the household.

In the past few days, Lin Wanyin and Bai Sulian have been discussing Su Shunci's marriage.

According to the rules in Beijing, Su Shunci should discuss marriage after the New Year. She can decide first and then get married after the coming-of-age ceremony.

Good young men don't wait for anyone. If you decide too late, you won't be able to grab a good one. This is Lin Wanyin's original words. Good men have to be grabbed.

Seeing the two people whispering to each other, Su Qingyu walked up to them curiously and asked.

"What did mother and Aunt Lian discuss?"

As soon as Su Qingyu finished speaking, Lin Wuchen suddenly walked in and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?"

When Lin Wanyin saw him come in, she did not answer Su Qingyu's words, but looked at Lin Wuchen.

"The fourth child in our family hasn't gotten engaged yet, right? He will be sixteen after the New Year, right?"

Lin Wuchen nodded in confusion, "Zi Yu will be sixteen after the Chinese New Year, and he should not be engaged yet, so why does my aunt want to act as a matchmaker for him?"

Lin Wanyin smiled and said, "He is about the same age as your fourth cousin. I think his personality is suitable. When I have time, I will go to Yunzhou Prefecture and ask your mother."

The smile on Lin Wuchen's face froze.
