Shen Yue didn't understand what Su Yuanzhou meant, and Su Yuanzhou didn't explain.

After changing his clothes, he took Shen Yue to the plum garden where Lin Wanyin and Bai Sulian lived.

It was Shen Yue’s first time to visit Prince Ning’s Mansion, and she found everything new and new.

From time to time, servants stopped and saluted the two men.

Shen Yue obviously had not yet gotten used to the title of princess. Every time she was called princess, she felt excited.

Su Yuanzhou naturally took Shen Yue's hand, and the two of them interlocked their fingers.

Noticing that Shen Yue's palms were sweaty, Su Yuanzhou turned around and teased, "Nervous?"

Shen Yue pursed her lips and nodded. Even though she knew her mother-in-law would not make things difficult for her, she still couldn't control her nervousness.

Su Yuanzhou gently scratched her palm and said, "Don't be nervous. Qingyu is here too. She came back early in the morning."

Shen Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, "Third Aunt is here?"

Su Yuanzhou's face twisted for a moment. His entire life was in chaos.

When they arrived at the Plum Garden, Lin Wanyin, Bai Sulian and Lin Wanli were already seated in the hall. Su Qingyu, Su Shunci and Lin Wuchen were talking to the elders.

Today, Shen Yue was wearing a light blue moonlit dress and two white jade hairpins in her hair.

Su Yuanzhou was wearing a dark black brocade robe with dark patterns and a jade pendant with glazed patterns on his waist.

Su Qingyu's lips curled up unconsciously. Such a perfect couple standing together was a pleasure to look at.

Servants prepared a futon and tea. Shen Yue and Su Yuanzhou walked forward and knelt down in front of Lin Wanyin.

Shen Yue was nervous, but her manner of performing the ceremony was dignified and graceful, and it was obvious that she had a very good upbringing and manners.

She called out "Mother" and handed over the tea in her hand respectfully.

Lin Wanyin responded, took the teacup and took a sip.

Then he took a nanmu box beside him and handed it to Shen Yue.

"Mother knows that you have no shortage of good things. This is a pair of rubies, which are quite different from the ones we usually see. You can keep them for making jewelry."

Shen Yue took it with both hands and stood up with the help of her maid Qiu Tong.

Lin Wanyin motioned for her to take a look, and Shen Yue didn't hesitate to open the box directly.

Inside were two pigeon egg-sized rubies, but they were not oval-shaped like the ones we usually see. Instead, they were multi-sided and angular, and the red inside was much redder than the rubies on the market.

I've never even seen anything like this, let alone bought it.

Shen Yue showed surprise and felt a warm feeling in her heart. Her mother-in-law was carefully preparing a gift for her.

Lin Wanyin explained: "Your uncle helped buy these. He said they were brought back from overseas. There are only these two."

Thinking of her two daughters sitting next to her, she hurriedly said to Su Qingyu and Su Shunci, "I'll give this pair of rubies to your sister-in-law, but I won't treat you unfairly. I'll open my small storehouse later, and you can go in and pick whatever you want."

Su Qingyu and Su Shunci looked at each other and burst out laughing.

They are not children, can they still pick on their mother because of two gems? They hope that their mother and Shen Yue will get along well and have a peaceful home.

Afterwards, Shen Yue presented gifts to Bai Sulian and Lin Wanli. Bai Sulian presented a pair of jade ruyi with lotus flowers, both of which had good appearance and meaning. Lin Wanli presented a box of top-quality oriental pearls, which looked very valuable.

After the elders had paid their respects, Shen Yue walked up to Lin Wuchen, bowed, and called out, "Hello, cousin."

Su Shunci raised an eyebrow and looked at Lin Wuchen, teasing: "What gift did Third Cousin prepare? If it's just an ordinary one, we won't accept it."

Lin Wuchen rolled his eyes at her and said, "When will you change your nature of just watching the fun and not afraid of trouble?"

Although his tone was didactic, there was a barely perceptible hint of fondness in his eyes.

Su Shunci snorted, "This is my sister-in-law, so I will naturally side with her."

Shen Yue held Su Qingyu's shoulders and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist. She thought that the recognition and tea ceremony would be respectful and solemn, but she didn't expect it to be like this.

At this moment, Su Yuanzhou and Su Qingyu were also looking at Lin Wuchen curiously, and he shook his head helplessly.

Then he slowly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, a piece of paper that looked ordinary.

"This is not a wedding gift for my sister-in-law, but a wedding gift from me to you and your wife."

"Just like what my aunt said, my sister-in-law has seen all kinds of good things. If I give her too little, I'll seem stingy, but if I give her too much, I'll feel bad."

He told jokes in a serious tone, and everyone in the room laughed so hard that they fell over.

Su Yuanzhou reached out and grabbed the paper from his hand, "Let me see what it is. Is it worth it for you to send it to me in such a mysterious way?"

Su Yuanzhou took the paper in his hand, glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Third... Third cousin, you just said it was a gift, right? I don't have much money to give you right now."

Lin Wuchen smiled and punched him, "Don't pretend to be poor in front of me, can you not come up with the silver? But this is indeed a gift, cousin, I don't want a single penny from you."

Su Qingyu came closer curiously, "The title deed to the mountain outside Beijing?"

When the Su family wanted to buy this mountain, Lin Wuchen offered 200,000 taels of silver. But today, he gave it to Su Yuanzhou without saying anything.

Of course, this was also something Lin Wuchen had decided long ago, but he just took advantage of today's opportunity to give it to Su Yuanzhou.

Su Yuanzhou took the deed without hesitation.

From an outsider's perspective, he was now the mainstay of the Su family. The issue of the mountain and the ancestral tomb should indeed be resolved.

After Shen Yue greeted the elders of the family, Su Qingyu and Su Shunci came forward to pay respects to their sister-in-law. It was more like a family having fun than paying respects. Shen Yue also prepared gifts for the two of them, and they accepted them with a smile on their faces.

Soon, He Ye came in to tell Lin Wanyin that breakfast was ready.

Afterwards, the family went to the side hall to eat, with men and women sitting at separate tables separated by a screen.

Shen Yue wanted to go forward and serve Lin Wanyin her meal, but Lin Wanyin immediately refused.

"We don't have such a rule in our family. I'm not old and can't move. Why do I need you to serve me? Besides, there are servants to serve me. Just enjoy your meal."

Lin Wanyin treated Shen Yue as her own child. She felt so sorry for her that she would never blame her.

Su Qingyu pulled Shen Yue to sit down and said softly, "Let's eat first, and then we have to go back to the Su family."

She came to Prince Ning's Mansion today, intending to accompany her brother and Shen Yue back to the Su family.

After breakfast, Su Yuanzhou ordered a car to be prepared and took Shen Yue back to the Su family to worship their ancestors, and Su Qingyu went with them.

When the carriage arrived at the Su family, it was already three quarters past nine.

As soon as Fang got out of the car, the butler Su Zhong came to greet him, "Greet the prince and princess, and greet the eldest lady."

Su Yuanzhou called the man up and asked, "Butler Su, are you waiting for us here?"

Su Zhong hurriedly said, "The Marquis was afraid that the prince and princess would get off the car and there would be no one to serve them, so he told me to wait here."

In fact, it was Su Chengye who waited for the whole morning. After waiting for a long time and seeing no one, Su Zhong simply stayed here.

Su Zhong led the three of them to Songhe Hall. Today they were going to visit their parents in the old lady's courtyard.

When the three of them entered the room, the elders of the Su family were already sitting in the hall.

Second Madam He whispered, "This guy is really arrogant. As the elders, should we kneel down and greet him respectfully?"
