What if Mr. Zhou just found out the truth of the matter? Wouldn't it be dangerous for Madam to go?
Su Qingyu shook her head and said, "If Mr. Zhou really knew, it would be just as dangerous for the Third Master to go."
What's more, she was sure that she could explain the matter clearly before Mr. Zhou took action.
And according to her speculation, Mr. Zhou should not be aware of it at this time.
Su Qingyu didn't hesitate, put on her cloak and walked towards the outer courtyard.
She took Feicui into Mr. Zhou's room alone, while Zhenzhu waited outside.
About a quarter of an hour later, Su Qingyu came out with Jadeite, and Zhenzhu breathed a sigh of relief.
On the way back to the main courtyard, Pearl asked, "How is it? Did Madam explain everything to Mr. Zhou?"
Su Qingyu smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Zhou said he believed it, but he was actually skeptical. I told him to invite that man for a drink right now and spread the news."
"When the time comes, I will naturally let him hear the truth about his daughter's fall off the cliff."
Pearl tilted her head and asked, "Madam, is this a trick you use to defeat the enemy?"
At this time, not far away, Jiang Qi was patrolling with his guards and looked at Zhenzhu.
Su Qingyu teased, "My trick is no match for our Pearl's beauty trap."
Pearl was puzzled, but when she heard Feicui laughing, she started laughing too.
"What are you talking about, madam? What honey trap?
When he turned around, he saw Jiang Qi looking at him.
Zhenzhu blushed, glared at Jiang Qi, and followed Su Qingyu.
Jiang Qi touched his chin, not understanding why he was being glared at.
Some guards quietly started to make a noise, saying that Deputy Commander Jiang would be afraid of his wife in the future. Now it looked like he would. One person said it, and the others followed suit.
Jiang Qi's face darkened. "Everyone, go to the training ground after patrolling. I will personally test you today."
The guards who had been smiling just now had their smiles frozen on their faces in an instant.
After returning from Mr. Zhou's visit, Su Qingyu went to see Shen Yue again.
Ever since the news of Li Yunzhou's defeat came back from Northern Xinjiang, Shen Yue has lost a lot of weight.
Su Qingyu could probably guess some of the inside story of the battle in Northern Frontier, but she didn't dare to reveal it to Shen Yue. Shen Yue couldn't keep secrets, and it would be bad if someone with ulterior motives guessed it.
So she could only come and comfort her from time to time and tell her not to worry too much.
The two chatted for half an hour, and seeing that Shen Yue was in a much better mood, Su Qingyu got up and left to see the old lady.
On the way back to the West Courtyard, a steward came to report some trivial matters in the mansion, and Su Qingyu responded to them one by one.
Now, the inner house of the Shen family is completely under the control of Su Qingyu. Although not all the people in charge are her confidants, as long as it is something she orders, no one dares to deliberately neglect or cause trouble.
No one in the Shen family could find any fault with her housekeeper.
Su Qingyu did not try to win people over on purpose, she just spoke according to the rules of the mansion.
Because she handled several matters in the past with great vigor and without mercy, the servants were somewhat afraid of her.
But this winter's purchase of charcoal and cotton clothes made the people below her respect her a lot.
During the Chinese New Year, several managers who performed well received generous rewards in public. However, these people were not Su Qingyu's confidants, and two of them were not good at speaking and only knew how to work silently.
After Su Qingyu gave the rewards in public, everyone suddenly realized that as long as they did their job well, even if they couldn't flatter, the Third Lady would know what was going on.
So after the New Year, the people under me work harder and more pragmatically.
Su Qingyu saw these changes and was really satisfied.
So in many cases, it is not the fault of the subordinates to be cunning or to only know how to talk. The subordinates will gradually become like the kind of people the master likes.
The boss likes people who are good at talking and flattering, so naturally there are few people who can do practical work.
When they were almost at the Moon Gate in the west courtyard, they saw a servant sneaking towards the outer courtyard on a fork in the road not far away.
Su Qingyu could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the boy, and she even felt that his back looked somewhat familiar.
"Jadeite, go check on that guy."
"Yes." Jade replied yes and rushed over quickly.
The boy noticed someone behind him and was about to run, but Feicui tripped him and he fell to the ground. All the things in his hands fell to the ground.
"Madam, he stole things from the mansion." Feicui said loudly, and grabbed the servant's wrist and pressed it behind his back.
Hearing this, the servant stiffened his neck and struggled hard, shouting, "I didn't steal anything, Miss Feicui can't wrongly accuse me."
When he looked up and shouted, Su Qingyu recognized him. It was Yuanbao, the servant beside Shen Zhao.
Su Qingyu was also very familiar with the things on the ground. To be more precise, she was very familiar with them in her previous life.
A vase made of eight-treasure cloisonné enamel and a pair of Longquan kiln incense burners with auspicious beasts were both things in Shen Zhao's storehouse.
Su Qingyu walked closer and signaled Feicui to let the person go.
"Yuanbao, you said you didn't steal these things, so why are they all in your hands? I see you're going to leave the house, are you going to sell the stolen things?"
Su Qingyu asked this, but she didn't really believe that Yuanbao had stolen something to sell. Yuanbao had been with Shen Zhao since he was a child and was very loyal to him.
If she said that Yuanbao stole things for Shen Zhao's house, she would believe it, but if she said that Yuanbao sold Shen Zhao's things, she would not believe it.
At this moment, Yuanbao was questioned harshly by Su Qingyu, and he tried his best to defend himself.
"Madam San is very discerning. How dare I steal the young master's things? These are really not stolen."
Su Qingyu snorted coldly, "The thief didn't admit that he stole the things. You said you didn't steal them, so why don't you tell me where you are going with these things?"
Yuanbao knelt on the ground, rolled his eyes, and kowtowed to Su Qingyu.
"Madam San is very observant. These things were picked out from the warehouse and are a bit damaged. Master, please tell me to take them out and find someone to repair them."
As he spoke, he picked up the vase and showed it to Su Qingyu, "Madam, look at the bottom of this vase. It has been knocked a little out of shape."
Su Qingyu was very familiar with these things. This eight-treasure cloisonné enamel vase was Chen's dowry. It was brought back from overseas by Chen's uncle, and it was damaged along the way.
Chen didn't repair it in order to keep a memory, so why would Shen Zhao want to repair it?
But Yuanbao was smart enough and spoke seriously.
Su Qingyu pretended to be enlightened, "I see, it seems I misunderstood you, go ahead."
Without asking any more questions, he turned around and continued walking towards the west courtyard.
It was not until they entered the west courtyard that Su Qingyu gave instructions to Feicui.
"Go out and keep an eye on Yuanbao to see what he is doing. Don't let him see you."
