Lin Wanli was almost at the door, but stopped when he heard the words.

"Tell me, why is it inappropriate?"

He turned around and sat down in the chair opposite Lin Wuchen, ready to listen to what he had to say.

This son has always been cautious and prudent in his actions, and he would never say anything without basis. If he said it was inappropriate, he must have his reasons.

Lin Wuchen lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the abacus beside him. The abacus beads made a jingling sound, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

Lin Wanli waited for a long time, but Lin Wuchen didn't speak.

But the more this happens, the more it shows that something is wrong.

He thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Do you know anything about that girl Ah Ci? Did I misjudge her? Is she a bad person?"

It shouldn't be like this. If Ah Ci has bad character, Lao San can't always help her in business. He knows Lao San well. On the surface, he seems gentle and easy to talk to, but in fact, he doesn't tolerate any sand in his eyes.

Lin Wuchen was filled with bitterness, but he couldn't say anything. He could only vaguely say, "I said it's not suitable, so father, give up on this idea. After returning to Yunzhou, it's a good idea to find a good marriage for Ziyu in Yunzhou Prefecture."

As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. When Lin Wanli saw Lin Wuchen's expression, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"You...you like that girl?"

He had never thought about this before, but after thinking about it just now, many things suddenly became clear to him.

Recalling Lin Wuchen's attitude and tone of voice towards Su Shunci, he had borrowed the Lin family's connections to help the girl run her business several times.

In the past, he thought that it was because the two families were relatives, and he was so dedicated for the sake of his aunt.

Today, it seems that he has clearly fallen in love.

Lin Wuchen did not feel embarrassed about being exposed, but rather felt relieved.

"Since father knows about this, I won't hide it anymore. So father, do you think she is still suitable to marry Tzuyu?"

Lin Wanli glared at him and said, "Then she can't marry you either. You haven't dealt with your own problems yet. Don't mess with other girls."

As if he suddenly thought of something, he continued, "You like her so much, why don't you let her get married? Wu Chen, you can't be so selfish. Since you can't marry her, you have to let her have a good home."

Lin Wanli thought that Lin Wuchen said this because he couldn't bear to see Su Shunci's marriage proposal.

Lin Wuchen still had no expression on his face. "I know that she can marry into another family, but not into the Lin family. Father doesn't want to cause a scandal in the family in the future, saying that the eldest uncle covets his younger brother's wife, right?"

He was joking, but his smile was a little sad.

When Lin Wanli heard him say this, he was so angry that he wanted to stand up and kick him twice.

Lin Wuchen added, "As for her marriage, don't worry about it, father. I will help her find a good marriage and let her marry in glory."

When he said this, Third Young Master Lin's eyes were extremely firm. It was as if he was making some earth-shattering oath to himself.

Lin Wanli suddenly felt distressed again, and asked in a softer tone, "No news from the Bai family yet? What should we do? They haven't given us a definite answer."

Lin Wuchen shook his head. "The old man of the Bai family is not in good health. I can't bring up this matter anymore. Let's wait a little longer."

Lin Wanli wanted to say something, but when he saw his son's dejected expression, he stopped talking.

I felt regretful in my heart. It was such a good choice for daughter-in-law, what a pity.

But Wu Chen was right. With such thoughts in mind, Aci was not suitable to marry into the Lin family.

When Lin Wuchen saw Lin Wanli’s sad face, he knew that his father was worried about him.

He didn't want his family to worry about him, so he jokingly asked, "Is father still going to Prince Ning's mansion?"

Lin Wanli gave him a displeased look and said, "My daughter-in-law is gone, so why should I go?"

Lin Wuchen stood up and walked to Lin Wanli, "Father, please, let's have a couple of drinks."

The next day, Lin Wanyin held a banquet at Prince Ning's mansion to send off her brother. Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu went together and brought a lot of local products.

Until he left, Lin Wanli never mentioned the marriage again.

Lin Wanyin asked Lin Wanli privately, and Lin Wanli could only make excuses. He said that Lin Ziyu seemed to have someone in his heart, and he had to ask again.

After Bai Sulian found out, she felt regretful, but she couldn't bring it up anymore. She could only lament that the two of them were not destined to be together.

In the evening, someone from the Su family came to the Ning Wang Mansion to report the news. It was said that the second master and second wife of the Su family fell off a cliff and died in Yongquan Mountain, more than a hundred miles away from the capital. The sixth daughter of the Su family, Su Fuyao, also went there. It seemed that she had a high fever and died of illness.

In the evening, the people sent by Su Yuanzhou reported back that the child had died of illness when they took action.

Su Yuanzhou had a blank expression on his face and said nothing. He burned a lot of paper money in the garden alone at night.

The death of the second master of the Su family did not cause any waves in the capital. The Su family did not hold a big funeral, but simply buried the body in the ancestral tomb.

On the day when the second wife of the Su family was buried, Old Madam Su woke up, but her speech was unclear and half of her body could not move at all.

Su Chengye moved directly to Songhe Hall, no longer cared about the affairs of the mansion, and devoted himself to serving the old lady.

In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of July, and a lot of vegetables were sent to the mansion from the farm outside Shenjia City.

Because Su Qingyu said last year that she liked the vegetables grown on the farm, Shen Zhixiu ordered that more land be opened on the farm, all of which were irrigated with mountain spring water.

After the summer begins, all kinds of seasonal vegetables are delivered to the house every few days.

Maybe it’s because of the hot weather these days, but Su Qingyu doesn’t enjoy anything she eats.

Especially meat, I don’t want to eat even a bite.

That means fresh green vegetables, which are bright green and you can eat a few chopsticks of them.

She ate little, and Shen Zhixiu was anxious, so he asked the farm to send some fresh food.

It just so happened that lotus roots could be dug these few days, and the steward delivered two baskets of lotus roots to the mansion early in the morning.

Su Qingyu ordered people to pack the lotus roots and send some to the Zhao family, Song family, Yang family, and Su family. She packed some more and planned to send them to the Ning Wang Mansion herself. Last year, she made glutinous rice lotus roots on the farm, and the fourth sister liked them very much.

The Shen family has no shortage of this thing, and they plant a lot of it in the house and on the farm.

She had been feeling unwell these past few days and had been lying in bed for two days already, so she wanted to go out and relax.

When leaving, Feicui advised: "Madam, you should ask Mr. Zhou to take your pulse. I see that you have looked a little haggard these past two days."

Su Qingyu shook her head and smiled: "I know my own body. It's just that the weather is hot and I can't eat. I have a headache because of the heat."

Feicui couldn't persuade her, so she could only follow her carefully and take good care of her.
