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

Su Qingyu couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard this. She looked at the familiar pattern on the drawing paper and asked, "When did this happen?"

Shen Zhixiu raised his eyebrows, "It's been ten years, right?"

"At that time, I had just entered the officialdom and my mind was unstable. For a period of time, I often went to Huguo Temple to ask Master Ci'en to give lectures. One day, he suddenly said that he wanted to temper my mind and asked me to draw a picture of a seven-treasure bead string and grind it out by hand."

At this point, Shen Zhixiu smiled even more. "He was so stingy that he didn't even give me the material. All the material was from my warehouse. I don't know who the beads were given to later. Where did you see it?"

In fact, Shen Zhixiu had forgotten about this matter. It was only today in Prince Ning's Mansion that he heard Lin Wuchen say that Su Qingyu had a poor health and suffered many disasters when she was a child. He suddenly remembered this string of beads and planned to make another one and ask Master Ci'en to consecrate it as a talisman for her.

When Su Qingyu heard his question, she said, "Wait for me." Then she left the study.

Not long after, Su Qingyu came in with the string of beads and handed it to Shen Zhixiu.

"Here it is. This is what Master Ci'en gave me. Take a look, Third Master. It's the one you made."

Shen Zhixiu was surprised and took the string of beads to look at it. "It's the string I made. It's actually here with you."

When Su Qingyu thought about the beads she had worn for more than ten years, which were made by Shen Zhixiu, she felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

She put her arms around Shen Zhixiu's waist and looked up at him. Her sparkling eyes were dotted with smiles and a bit of teasing.

"Then should I thank Master Ci'en or Master Sanye?"

Shen Zhixiu held her in his arms, leaned closer and said, "Of course you should thank your husband." He raised his finger pretending to be wronged, "I rubbed my finger until it bled in order to grind the beads for you."

His fingers covered her delicate lips, caressing them gently. She parted her red lips and kissed his fingertips, leaving a layer of moisture.

Shen Zhixiu felt a tingling sensation in his heart that spread throughout his body.

"Qingqing."

……

In the afternoon, clothes were scattered on the floor beside the small couch in the study.

Su Qingyu nestled in Shen Zhixiu's arms, with lust lingering between her brows.

She glanced at him lazily, "In broad daylight, Third Master is making trouble."

Shen Zhixiu supported his head with one hand, and with the other hand he was holding Su Qingyu's black hair, fiddling with it casually.

Su Qingyu's trembling words made him dazed.

He put his fingers to her lips again and said in a hoarse voice: "Who made me..."

Su Qingyu glared at him and covered his mouth with her hand, "Don't talk nonsense."

He quickly changed the subject, "Why did Third Master and Mother come back so early? I told Ah Ci to keep it a secret from you guys for now."

Shen Zhixiu explained: "It was a coincidence that my mother and mother-in-law talked about Shen Yue's marriage. They thought that they should just ask you to discuss it together. When the fourth aunt saw that she couldn't hide it any longer, she quietly told the truth."

Su Qingyu guessed that this was roughly the case. It would have been fine if the old lady didn't ask, but if she did, no one would dare to lie.

She was originally nestled in the crook of Shen Zhixiu's neck, but she felt sore in her waist, so she moved herself to another position.

"Ouch."

She screamed, and Shen Zhixiu was so scared that he asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Su Qingyu shook her head and took out the string of beads from her waist. "It got stuck."

Shen Zhixiu placed his large palm on her waist, "Let me rub it for you."

Su Qingyu fiddled with the beads in her hand, "Third Master, do you think this is fate?"

At first, she got engaged to Shen Zhao because of a word from Master Ci'en. Later, Shen Zhao mistook her for someone else because of the beads, causing her to die tragically in her previous life. After she was reborn, she discovered that the beads were actually made by Shen Zhixiu.

It seems that after going around in circles, the fate that had taken the wrong path has been rearranged again.

Seeing that Su Qingyu was in a daze and didn't know what she was thinking, Shen Zhixiu leaned over and kissed her eyebrows.

"If this isn't fate, then what is fate?"

After that, he showered her with kisses, not giving her a chance to speak.

"Qingqing, God has been kind to me, allowing me to marry you."

*

When Su Qingyu opened her eyes again, it was already dark outside. She looked up and saw the carvings on the bed, and suddenly realized that she had returned to the bed in the inner room from the small study in the east room.

The corners of Su Qingyu's red eyes turned up, and she found a comfortable position for herself, recalling the previous scenes lazily and contentedly.

Every word of love he said took root in her heart. When she thought of it again, her heart still throbbed.

Feicui heard the sound of someone turning over in the room, so she lifted the curtain of the inner room and walked in.

He considerately brought some warm water to her.

"Madam, you are awake. Have a glass of warm water first."

Su Qingyu drank half a cup and then asked her to bring some casual clothes.

While changing clothes, Su Qingyu asked, "Any news from Hanshuiyuan?"

As soon as she returned to the West Courtyard, she assigned people to keep an eye on Li Chaoyun.

Feicui said softly, "I didn't leave the yard in the afternoon. I went to Qingyuanju half an hour ago."

"I heard that the princess came in and greeted the old lady on behalf of her unborn great-grandson. The old lady was coaxed into eating half a bowl of rice at night, and now they are still talking."

Su Qingyu knew what Li Chaoyun was planning. After thinking for a while, she told Feicui, "Go tell Madam Xiang that it doesn't matter what else, just take good care of the properties and warehouses of the first house. There can't be any mistakes."

Shen Zhao's private property has been almost sold out. Li Chaoyun returned home this time with the intention of acquiring the eldest son's property.

Coaxing the old lady like this is probably also for taking over the family business of the eldest wife.

Feicui said, "Yes, I will go to look for Madam Xiang in a while. But the eldest young master is so lucky. He is dead but he still has a child."

"Didn't they say that the young master and the princess had separated and that the princess was living in the Li family? It seems that this rumor cannot be fully believed."

Su Qingyu picked a simple gold hairpin to tie up her hair, and said, "After all, they are husband and wife. When the princess lived in the Li family, the eldest young master often visited."

At this point, she recalled the dots of marks on Li Chaoyun's neck the day after Shen Zhao's accident. Thinking about it today, it must have been caused by the intimacy with Shen Zhao during those two days.

She fixed her hair, stood up and asked.

"Where is the third master?"

"The Third Master is meeting guests in the outer courtyard and told Madam to have dinner first if she's hungry."

She was indeed a little hungry, and her body was still aching after a busy afternoon. But it was boring to eat alone, so she went to the corridor to cut the branches of the potted plants and waited for Shen Zhixiu to come back.

After more than half an hour, Shen Zhixiu finally entered the inner courtyard. Seeing that Su Qingyu had not eaten yet, he washed his hands and said, "Didn't I tell you to eat first?"

He walked closer to her and whispered teasingly, "You've been busy all afternoon, and you're not hungry?"
