The next morning, Su Qingyu got up early as usual and prepared to go to Qingyuanju to pay her respects.

Pearl lifted the curtain and said with a smile, "Madam, why are you here so early? When the Third Master left, he specifically told her that she was tired yesterday and she didn't need to go and pay her respects."

Su Qingyu said, "Third Master does care about me, but visiting my parents every morning and evening is what a junior should do."

In fact, she couldn't sleep, probably because the knife that had been hanging over her head was finally removed. As soon as she opened her eyes today, she felt refreshed.

After her rebirth, she had been thinking about this matter since the moment she saw Mr. Zhou. Finally, her efforts paid off and she solved this matter.

Now, the only enemy from her previous life was Shen Zhao. She was not in a hurry, and would find the right opportunity to give him a fatal blow.

Feicui brought her a casual jacket and skirt. It wasn't luxurious, but it was comfortable.

Su Qingyu suddenly slapped her forehead, "Isn't it sixteen today? I agreed to go to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion with my mother and Shen Yue to see the baby of the Zhao family."

Zhao Rui's wife, Yan, gave birth to a son a few years ago, and Old Madam Shen loved him very much. She went to see him twice before the New Year, but she was too busy during the first month of the year to go back.

She had said a few days ago that she wanted Su Qingyu and Shen Yue to accompany her to visit the Zhao family on the 16th day of the first lunar month.

Feicui said hurriedly: "Then I will change my clothes."

The outfit I just wore is fine at home, but it doesn’t look elegant enough when I go out. And it’s the first month of the year, so no matter whose house you go to, you have to dress festively. Especially if there are elderly people at home, it would not look festive or auspicious if the younger generation wears too plain clothes during the New Year.

Feicui also brought a pomegranate red dress with gold thread, which was sent by Su Shunci before the New Year. She said it was specially made for Sister Su, so that she could wear it during the New Year. She sent six sets together, all of which were festive and luxurious.

When she was changing Su Qingyu's clothes, Feicui seemed to be hesitant to speak. She seemed to want to say something but didn't dare to.

Su Qingyu had been with her for several years and could tell at first glance that something was wrong with her.

"What's wrong? You want to tell me something?"

Feicui was adjusting the brocade belt around Su Qingyu's waist. Hearing this, she whispered, "The old lady is worried about the young master of the Zhao family. Could it be that she is worried that the lady has been silent?"

Seeing that Su Qingyu looked a little puzzled, he continued, "Has Madam asked Mr. Zhou if he wants to take some more medicine to regulate his body?"

"Madam has been married for eight months, and she and Third Master...it shouldn't have been so quiet for so long."

Su Qingyu couldn't help laughing. She knew that if there was no news about the marriage for a few months, countless people would stare at her and Shen Zhixiu.

Some of them were kind to her and worried about her health, while others were just determined to find a concubine for Shen Zhixiu.

Fortunately, the old lady was sensible and didn't say anything casually.

She was somewhat relieved at this moment, relieved that Shen Zhixiu had used the medicine so that they could have a child later.

Otherwise, in these eight months, she had to deal with so many things, worry so much, and even face several dangerous situations. If she was really pregnant, she might not be able to cope with it.

This was fine, after those people were dealt with, she could give birth to their child peacefully. The days ahead would be peaceful.

She comforted Feicui with a few words, saying that having children depends on fate and one cannot be impatient.

When Su Qingyu arrived at Qingyuan Residence, the old lady and Shen Yue were packing things for the child. Shen Yue went out to see lanterns yesterday and bought a rattle and a rabbit lantern.

Although it is not very expensive, the workmanship is fine and the appearance is beautiful.

She was very excited and wanted to take it to the Zhao family's newborn baby.

The old lady did not stop him and let Shen Yue prepare. She smiled and said, "If you send these things over, I'm afraid that the little baby won't see them and the older ones will snatch them away."

Shen Yue said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter who plays. I've played with it before, so it's not a waste to give it to them."

Su Qingyu also picked up the rattle and shook it, saying, "This thing is really well made. Not to mention the children, I find it refreshing to look at."

Shen Yue playfully joked, "Don't be jealous, Aunt San. When you give me a brother, I will buy him ten and we can shake them in turn."

The old lady reached out and tapped Shen Yue's forehead. "Buy ten? Aren't you afraid of shocking the child?"

Shen Yuejiao laughed twice, holding the old lady's arm and shaking it, "Grandma is partial to me. My younger brother hasn't even been born yet, but she's already partial to him."

Knowing that Shen Yue was joking, Su Qingyu also joked to make the old lady happy: "When Li Yunzhou returns to the court, you will also get married."

"Maybe you can give your grandmother a great-grandson first."

As he spoke, he looked at Shen Yue, and both of them could see the deep meaning in each other's eyes. It was as if they were comforting each other that Li Yunzhou would definitely return to Beijing in triumph.

Li Chaoyun, who came to pay his respects, stood outside the door with a smile on his lips. Shen Yue was waiting to marry Li Yunzhou? Then wait.

It is unknown whether what comes back is a person or a corpse.

If she insists on marrying into the Li family, it would be a good opportunity for her to come in and serve her mother.

Li Chaoyun's expression changed in an instant, and he had returned to normal when he went in.

After entering the room, Shen Yue first greeted the old lady and Su Qingyu, and then stood up to greet her sister-in-law.

After sitting down again, Li Chaoyun realized that they were going to Zhao's house to see the child. Looking at the children's things on the small couch, Li Chaoyun felt a little uncomfortable. If her child was still there, it would be born in a few months.

Shen Zhiheng did not attend court today, but he brought his eldest son, the third young master Shen Xi, and the fifth young master Shen Cheng to pay their respects.

The third young master, Shen Xi, is sixteen years old this year and is still studying in the academy. He will leave after the first month of the year. The fifth young master, Shen Cheng, is nine years old and has hired a teacher in the mansion.

When Chen was the housekeeper, she was strict with the concubine and the illegitimate son, so the two children were stable. They spoke and behaved in a measured way. But from their eyes, you can also see that they are a little timid.

Every time the old lady saw the two children, she would scold Chen in her heart. Good children were raised like this. She also blamed Shen Zhiheng for not being able to handle such a small matter at home.

Su Qingyu was very careful and noticed at a glance that there were some stains on Shen Cheng's clothes, which looked like they were rubbed with soap when he washed his face in the morning.

She stood up and told Feicui to get a wet cotton towel. Then she squatted in front of Shen Cheng and gently wiped the stain on his collar.

The nine-year-old Shen Cheng bowed to Su Qingyu like a little adult, "Thank you, Third Auntie. I wasn't paying attention and made you laugh."

Su Qingyu rubbed his head and said softly: "You are still young, it is not normal for your clothes to be dirty, there is nothing to laugh at."

Shen Cheng's biological mother had passed away, and now he lived with Shen Zhiheng in the outer courtyard. Although he said he was with Shen Zhiheng, he was actually being taken care of by the nanny.

At this time, the second wife Yang came in with her daughter Shen Qian. Shen Qian, who was also a child, was dressed like a beautiful girl, with clean and tidy clothes. As soon as she entered the door, she threw herself into the arms of the old lady, "Grandma, Qian'er misses you so much."

Who wouldn't like such a little girl? The old lady held her face and kissed her.

Shen Cheng on the side first showed an envious look, then lowered his head.

Su Qingyu sighed in her heart. There is a huge difference between having a mother and not having one.

The old lady had obviously thought of this as well. After thinking for a moment, she said to Shen Zhiheng.

"It would be better to give you another concubine. You can't let the old woman take care of all the affairs in your courtyard. Give you another concubine to take care of the chores in your room and take care of the children."
