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

The word "revenge" seemed to have found a support point for Lin Wanyin's desperate life.

This allowed her to not be completely immersed in the pain of losing her son, and to start thinking about the shop and figuring out how to help her daughter.

Su Shunci also saw what Su Qingyu meant, and followed suit, "Mother, when can you go and manage the shop? I've been managing it for a few days, but I'm really overwhelmed. I want to ask you a lot of things, but I'm afraid to disturb your rest."

How could Lin Wanyin not see the hidden meaning of her daughter's words, but she also knew that she couldn't continue to be so depressed.

"Bring the account book here tonight, and I'll explain anything you don't understand."

Su Shunci nodded and said considerately, "Hey, I'll send someone to get it in a bit."

Su Qingyu felt relieved. Her mother was willing to do something else, which at least gave her some distraction. She wouldn't be immersed in grief and unable to come out of it.

After returning from Yushu Hutong, Su Qingyu went to see Shen Yue again.

Shen Yue was lying on the bed, and the maid beside her was coaxing her to drink porridge.

Shen Yue's eyes had been swollen since the news of Li Yunzhou's death. When she saw Su Qingyu coming in and called her "Auntie", tears started to seep out again.

Su Qingyu sighed and signaled the servants around her to go down.

When trying to persuade Shen Yue, you cannot use the same rhetoric you used to persuade her mother.

Su Qingyu started talking about Li Yunzhou’s childhood and then moved on to what happened between him and Shen Yue.

The two seemed to be talking about beautiful childhood memories, and even though they were heartbroken, they had smiles on their faces.

"Xiaoyue, if your brother were still alive, how sad he would be when he came back and saw you like this."

"Let's take a step back and say, even if the person is really gone, you still have to live well for him. You still have other relatives, you can't just lie in bed and cry for the rest of your life."

"You haven't eaten much these days, and your grandmother is about the same."

Shen Yue leaned against the bed, tears welling up in her eyes, "Aunt San, I know everything you said. But...but I can't help it."

"As long as I close my eyes, I can see the scene of Brother Yunzhou falling off the cliff."

Su Qingyu took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from her face.

Then he asked someone to bring some ice, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and applied it to the redness and swelling on her eyes while asking, "Have you finished making the clothes for your brother?"

Shen Yue shook her head, "I only made a spring shirt."

Su Qingyu said softly: "Keep doing it. Once you have made a few pieces of clothing, he will be back."

"If... the person really can't come back, these clothes can be buried with him. He won't be cold over there."

When Shen Yue heard that the person would not come back, she burst into tears again. Su Qingyu wiped her tears slowly and said, "Even your uncle and I will have this day. One of us will have to leave first."

"But we all think of him, and he is still alive."

"I came to pay my respects this morning. Your grandmother didn't get enough rest and she looks very bad."

"You should at least pretend to cheer up and eat your meal obediently, so that she can put her mind at ease."

When Shen Yue heard Su Qingyu mention the old lady, she felt guilty. Third Aunt was right. She couldn't lie in bed and cry for the rest of her life.

If her grandmother really became ill and suffered because of her, she would be the biggest sinner in the Shen family.

Shen Yue took a deep breath, then took the handkerchief and wiped her face.

"Aunt San, I want to eat something."

Su Qingyu immediately ordered the servants guarding outside, "Bring in some hot porridge and side dishes. Make them light and not too greasy."

Shen Yue hasn't eaten much these days, so she can only drink some porridge to nourish her spleen and stomach.

Afraid that she didn't want to eat, Su Qingyu also ate half a bowl with her.

The servants at Qingyuanju were naturally attentive, and the side dishes were fresh and green, all of which were Shen Yue's favorites.

Su Qingyu picked up a piece of shredded green bamboo shoots with chopsticks for her, sprinkled them with sesame seeds and added a little sesame oil. It tasted refreshing and not greasy.

"These dishes are easy to digest. Eat a little more."

"In two days, you can move to the west courtyard and live there for a few days. I will ask someone to make you some soup to nourish you."

Shen Yue saw that her face had become thinner, but the old lady was not in a position to eat meat.

"No, my brother Yunzhou passed away. I have been eating vegetarian food this year as a way of mourning for him." She lowered her head as she spoke, and hot tears rolled down into the porridge.

Su Qingyu's eyes were sore. She pursed her lips and raised her head to hold back the tears.

"It's too early to talk about mourning. Lin's cousin and your third uncle's people are all looking for you. We may get news at any time."

Everyone has a little hope in their heart, but they dare not use hope as the motivation to live, fearing that there will be endless despair behind.

Shen Yue scooped the porridge gently with a spoon without making any sound.

After drinking half a bowl of wine, he asked Su Qingyu, "Aunt, Brother Yunzhou is obviously the child of the Su family, why did Princess Yongjia say that he is the child of Princess Yongning?"

Su Qingyu sneered when she heard this, "Why else? For the benefit of others."

"Look at this time's reward. In addition to the posthumous title given to my brother, the Li family has gained some real benefits."

"Even the good-for-nothing Third Young Master Li Yunhuai was given a title."

"This is equivalent to the death of the person, and the Li family still has to sell his bones."

Shen Yue's chest heaved with anger, "They are too shameless, so let's just let this matter go?"

However, Su Qingyu didn't dare to say too much to Shen Yue. Shen Yue had always been pampered in the inner house, and she didn't want the rest of her life to be imprisoned by hatred.

Just at this moment, the old lady pushed the door open and walked in. She saw Shen Yue drinking porridge with four side dishes on the table.

She immediately walked to Shen Yue with tears in her eyes and gently stroked her hair.

"My dear, you finally eat. Don't do this again. If anything happens to you, what will grandma do?"

Shen Yue was already feeling guilty, and when she looked at the old lady again, she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that there were more white hairs on her temples and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were deeper.

She choked up and said to the old lady, "Grandma, I will eat well from now on and not let you worry."

Su Qingyu was afraid that the two would cry again, so she hurriedly said, "Mother, please sit down. It's a good opportunity for you to talk to us."

"Let's not follow those rules today. Why don't you tell us about your youth? I'd like to hear that the most."

The old lady sat down between the two of them and talked about her life in her parents' home before she got married.

She deliberately made it interesting, and Su Qingyu and Shen Yue were also willing to have fun. So even though they were feeling heavy-hearted, they were able to talk with a smile.

Su Qingyu thought, even if it was just pretend, she had to keep pretending.

After that day, Shen Yue slowly returned to normal. But the old lady was worried and kept letting her live in Qingyuan Residence, not allowing her to live in her own courtyard.

That day, the Yan family in Jiangnan sent loquats to Beijing, saying that they were grown from fruit trees in the hot spring manor. They are not available in the market now and are very rare.

This fruit is delicate and difficult to preserve. So after being delivered to the capital by express horses, it must be distributed immediately. If left for a few days, it will no longer be fresh.

The Yan family sent a lot of gifts to Beijing, some to the Shen family, some to the Zhao family of the Weiguo Mansion, and some to several families that were on good terms with the Yan family.

When things came into the palace, they were all sent to Qingyuan Residence.

This was also Su Qingyu's order. How to divide it was naturally decided by the old lady.

The old lady didn't send anything away. Since there wasn't much food, she kept it all in her own house and ate it.

According to custom, Han Cui and Hua Ma Ma picked out the best fruits without broken skins. The remaining fruits of not so good quality were given by the old lady to her personal servants.

Even though it doesn't look very good, it doesn't affect the taste. If it's not valued by the old lady, you can't eat it.

The good ones were picked out and divided equally among the old lady, and some were sent to each courtyard.

Fearing that Shen Yue would get bored in Qingyuan Residence, the old lady ordered Shen Yue, "Send the portions for your second aunt, third aunt, and sister-in-law. I'll send someone under my command to deliver the portions for the outer courtyard."

Shen Yue responded with a "yes" and left Qingyuanju with her people and Loquat.

She went to the second wife Yang's place first, but Yang was not there. She had gone to the dowry shop to check the accounts. Shen Yue put her things down and came out.

According to the order of seniority, she should go to the West Courtyard. But she wanted to stay there for a while, so she thought of sending the people in Hanshui Courtyard there first.

Hearing that Shen Yue was entrusted by the old lady to deliver loquats, Li Chaoyun directly asked someone to invite her to the inner room.

When Shen Yue went in, she found out that Li Chaoyun was trying on clothes.

Danqing helped her tie the brocade belt around her waist while saying, "It's the perfect dress for our princess' birthday next month. Look at the peony pattern on it, it's all woven with gold thread. It's not only luxurious, but also festive."

"The Third Young Master will be back in Beijing by then, and the whole family will be reunited."

Danju, the maid who replaced Qiandai, coughed lightly.

"Princess, the third young lady is here."
