Without waiting for the two to ask questions, Su Qingyu told them what happened in Songhe Hall today.

Then he said to Su Chengxun: "Third uncle also knows that there have been a lot of things going on in the mansion in the past six months. It's a mess."

"We can't let our family continue like this, so today I persuaded my grandmother to leave the family to my third uncle and aunt from now on."

Su Chengxun also knew the situation at home, and it would be a lie to say that he was not anxious.

Hearing this, he sighed, "Uncle San didn't expect you to still have this much concern for your family. I'm just worried about your grandmother..."

Su Chengxun knew what the old lady was like better than anyone else.

Let’s not talk about anything else. As the housekeeper of the Hai family, wouldn’t the old lady be looking for trouble all day long?

If the family continues to be in chaos, the couple will probably never have a peaceful life again.

The embarrassing thing is that he is not the old lady's biological son, and there are many things he can't say. In his heart, he wants to separate the family.

Hai and Su Chengxun had the same idea, always feeling that this family was not so easy to manage.

Su Qingyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Third Aunt. I will teach you some tricks to make sure that Grandmother will not say anything and will be kind and gentle to you in the future."

"Uncle and Aunt also know that Yuan Yi is the only one who can support the Su family now."

"Let's work together to restore the Su family to its former glory."

Of course, Su Qingyu also had her own selfish motives. In the future, the Su family would be her brother's best support, and of course, it would also be a support for her and Ah Ci.

Su Chengxun is also a descendant of the Su family, so what Su Qingyu said is what he hopes for.

"Then listen to Qingyu. The method you just mentioned..."

Su Qingyu whispered, "Aunt San, wait for my news. I will help you run the Su family's shop. During this period of time, you should take control of the inner house. Those who don't listen to you and don't follow your rules will be sold."

"After the shop was back on track, Aunt San did this..."

After Su Qingyu finished speaking a few words, Su Chengxun and Hai's eyes lit up.

As long as the old lady can be controlled, there is no need to worry about anyone else in the mansion.

Before leaving, Su Qingyu took out another silver note of five thousand taels and handed it to Hai.

"Third Aunt, please keep this banknote. You can use this money to buy anything for the mansion."

"Don't let them embarrass you because of money."

Hai wanted to refuse, but Su Chengxun said, "Take it. Qingyu is also doing this for the good of the Su family. Let's work together."

Then he said to Hai: "Madam, please tell me more about the affairs of the inner house in the future. I can also help you with some ideas. Qingyu is right. We can't go on like this."

Su Chengxun suddenly felt some fighting spirit. If he could really revive the Su family, he would be worthy of his father's teachings.

After leaving the Su family, Su Qingyu went to find Su Shunci. She explained to her how to help Hai run the shop, and Su Shunci agreed to do it herself.

Before leaving Huajin Pavilion, Su Shunci suddenly grabbed Su Qingyu's sleeve.

"Big sister, tomorrow is the day when my brother's coffin will be brought back to Beijing. Big sister, do you want to go and welcome him?"

With Su Qingyu's status, she could go out of the city to welcome him, but she didn't have the status to go, so she could only wait in the city.

After the coffin is brought into the city, it will be placed in the Li family's mourning hall, and she can only watch from afar.

Su Qingyu gently rubbed Su Shunci's head and said, "Just wait at home. I will go to pick up my brother and bring him back to Beijing tomorrow."

Su Shunci thought that her elder sister must be extremely sad, which was why she was hiding her smile.

The next morning, Su Qingyu and Shen Yue wore plain clothes and planned to leave the city to welcome the coffins of Li Yunzhou and Zhang Pan into Beijing.

Today, officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites are welcoming you at the city gate.

However, Shen Yue wanted to go to the Ten-Li Pavilion. She was thinking, if her brother Yunzhou's soul also came back, would he be the first to see her?

Su Qingyu felt sorry for it, but she didn't dare to tell Shen Yue the truth. If someone with ulterior motives knew about it, their Shen family would have known that Li Yunzhou was not dead, which would be another trouble.

However, according to his brother's plan, it was not wrong for Shen Yue to go to Shili Changting to pick him up.

In this way, the two of them rode in a carriage out of the city and went to the Ten-Li Pavilion. Following behind them was a team of guards led by Jiang Qi.

I thought everyone else was waiting at the city gate, but I didn't expect that when the two of us arrived at the Ten-Li Pavilion, the old lady of the Zhang family was also there.

The one who was talking to the old lady of the Zhang family was Li Chaoyun. It seemed that the two of them had been there for a while.

Yes, how could Li Chaoyun let go of this opportunity to gain the emperor's favor?

Su Qingyu accompanied Shen Yue and stood on the other side of the pavilion. She only bowed to Old Lady Zhang as a greeting.

Similarly, Li Chaoyun also bowed to her. Su Qingyu nodded, accepting the gesture.

She held Shen Yue's shoulder with one hand, and they both looked towards the official road.

Seeing that Shen Yue was unaware of the truth, she looked into the distance with tears in her eyes, without blinking.

Su Qingyu advised softly: "Don't think too much about it. What came back is an empty coffin. Maybe the person is fine."

Fortunately, Li Yunzhou and Zhang Pan will return to Beijing today, otherwise she might not be able to resist telling Shen Yue the truth.

From the moment the two of them arrived at the Ten-Li Pavilion, the old lady of the Zhang family had been looking at Shen Yue with sidelong glances, her eyes filled with gloom and coldness.

Shen Yue and Su Qingyu ignored her. It was not easy for them to go up and argue with the old man, so they could only pretend not to see it.

But Old Lady Zhang felt unsatisfied and said, "Since your fate is bad, why don't you go to the mountains to practice and atone for your sins? Why are you still coming out?"

"My grandson, I have pity on you. He should never, ever, get engaged to the Shen family."

"This marriage is certain, and you've lost your life. You're a jinx, and you killed two people at once. How can the Shen family still tolerate you?"

Su Qingyu was furious and was about to step forward to argue. But she was stopped by Shen Yue, "Aunt, she is pitiful for not having a grandson. She just scolded me a few words. If it makes you feel better, let her scold me."

After Zhang Pan died in the Northern Frontier, Shen Yue thought of what she said to Zhang Pan countless times. She felt extremely regretful when she thought that Zhang Pan might have gone to the border town battlefield because of those words.

She was afraid that she had killed Zhang Pan, and she would never be at peace with that for the rest of her life.

So she accepted the scolding from Old Lady Zhang. She also didn't want Third Aunt to have a conflict with Old Lady Zhang because of her.

If the news gets back to the capital, people will just say that Third Aunt is ignorant.

But when Old Lady Zhang saw Shen Yue like this, she thought she was guilty and continued crying and scolding.

"My grandson has a pity on himself. His life is ruined by this unlucky star."

"How can you let grandma live? If grandma knew this would happen, she would never arrange a marriage for you in the Shen family."

Su Qingyu ignored Shen Yue's obstruction and walked straight to Old Lady Zhang.

He shouted loudly: "Madam Zhang, if you want to talk about having a tough life, I think you are the toughest person in Beijing."

"Otherwise, how could several generations of the Zhang family have died on the battlefield, and you are the only one alive? In this case, you are more like a star of doom."

Afraid that Old Madam Zhang couldn't hear her, Su Qingyu almost shouted into her ear.
