Hearing this, Feicui asked, "Miss... you want to ask Mr. Shen to help investigate this matter?"

Su Qingyu nodded and said, "Yes, only he can investigate this matter. Even my cousin can't investigate the prince and Li Chaoyun."

She thought about it for a whole afternoon and felt that she had to tell Shen Zhixiu about this matter. With Shen Zhixiu's status and abilities, it shouldn't be difficult to find out what's going on here.

Jade, who has always been steady, pondered for a moment and said, "Miss, you and Mr. Shen are not married after all. Wouldn't it be a good idea to trouble him about this matter?"

She was afraid that Su Qingyu would marry Mr. Shen before she got married. From then on, the young lady became a head shorter in front of him.

Su Qingyu said: "I'm not troubling him, I'm just solving his troubles."

Seeing Feicui's puzzled expression, Su Qingyu explained, "Mr. Shen San and I are already engaged, and we are an engaged couple. Li Chaoyun's plot against me will also affect him."

"When I protect him, I protect myself. Likewise, when he helps me, he also protects himself."

Jade nodded as if understanding, turned around and went out to prepare the car.

In order to avoid being seen, Su Qingyu did not enter through the Shen family's main gate, but parked the carriage directly at the gate of the Shen family's west courtyard.

After getting off the carriage, Jade stepped forward and called the door.

"Who is it? Don't you know how to go to the gate and submit the post?"

Although the west courtyard of the Shen family was opened separately, it was mostly opened when Shen Zhixiu was out of the house. Ordinary guests would submit a message at the gate, and Shen Zhixiu would decide whether to see them or not.

Few people dare to knock on the door so directly.

The boy opened the door, and Feicui said with a smile: "This little brother, can you please help me tell you that the eldest lady of the Su family wants to see Mr. Shen."

"I want to see the third master so much..." The young man muttered first, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Who are you talking about? The eldest lady of the Su family?"

Jade nodded and said, "Yes, the Su family of Pingninghou Mansion."

The boy, who had been a little impatient just now, instantly had a dog-legged smile on his face.

"Girls, I'll go in and report later."

I saw the boy turning around and running into the yard, shouting as he ran, "Madam is here. Go and tell the Third Master quickly. Madam is here to see him."

Su Qingyu:......

Jade and Agate covered their mouths and snickered, but did not dare to laugh out loud.

Not long after, Wenzhu walked out and glared at the boy.

Then he stepped forward and said respectfully: "Miss Su, please. The third master is in the study. I will take you there right now."

The West Courtyard of the Shen Family was built by Shen Zhixiu himself a few years ago. Compared with the main courtyard, it is more elegant, and the pavilions and waterside pavilions have more Jiangnan charm.

Although it is cold winter at this time, the plum trees on both sides of the bluestone road stretch out their branches and are eye-catching red. White snow fell on the blue bricks and tiles, and the sun just fell on it, making people unable to open their eyes.

At the door of Shen Zhixiu's study, Wen Zhu gently helped Su Qingyu open the door.

In the study, Shen Zhixiu was immersed in writing something. When he saw her coming in, he said softly: "Sit down."

Then he raised his voice and ordered Wenzhu outside, "Serve tea."

Su Qingyu sat down on the armchair by the window and heard Shen Zhixiu say apologetically: "I'll finish writing this letter, please wait for me for a while."

"You're busy, I'm not in a hurry."

Not long after, Wenzhu came in with two cups of tea. Su Qingyu was a little stunned when she picked it up. It was purple bamboo shoots.

Shen Zhixiu happened to look up at her and asked hurriedly: "But you are not used to drinking? What do you usually drink? I will ask Wenzhu to change it for you."

Only then did Su Qingyu realize that the tea was not served according to her preference, but that Shen Zhixiu also liked to drink purple bamboo shoots.

When the tea soup entered, Su Qingyu's eyebrows lit up. When she put down the tea cup, she couldn't help but said: "Is this the tea from the top of Guzhu Mountain? The aftertaste in the entrance is sweeter and the tea soup is clearer."

The annual output of this kind of tea in Gu Zhushan is probably less than five kilograms.

The purple bamboo shoots she usually drinks are considered to be of high quality, but compared to the one in front of her, they are far inferior.

Shen Zhixiu smiled and said: "It's from the top of the mountain." Then he asked Wenzhu in a loud voice to pack a pound of tea for Su Qingyu and take it with her when she leaves.

Su Qingyu did not refuse. Since there was a marriage contract between the two of them, there was no need to be polite for a pound of tea. Furthermore, she really couldn't refuse this level of purple bamboo shoots.

Shen Zhixiu put down his pen, walked around from behind the desk, and sat down on the armchair opposite Su Qingyu.

Wen Sheng asked: "Why are you here at this time?"

Su Qingyu put down the tea cup and whispered: "Third Master, do you know why the emperor wants me to enter the East Palace?"

Shen Zhixiu didn't hide anything from her, and said in a deep voice: "The prince went to ask for the emperor."

"Yesterday I saw him staring at you in Jingjiao. Did you know each other before?"

He was also puzzled. Could it be that the prince fell in love with Su Qingyu at first sight?

Su Qingyu said: "This matter may not be that simple..."

She told the story about Li Chaoyun changing her clothes yesterday, and then spoke in a deep voice, "I always feel that Princess Chaoyun did this for a reason. I was wondering if I should check on the prince?"

Shen Zhixiu pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll have someone investigate this matter, and I'll tell you if there's any news."

"How are you? Do you want Mr. Zhou to take a look at you again?"

When Su Qingyu heard him mention Mr. Zhou, her eyebrows moved slightly, "I'm fine, but Mr. Zhou looks very powerful. I've never heard of such a powerful doctor in the capital."

Shen Zhixiu smiled and said: "He is not from the capital, but a disciple of the great witch doctor of the Miao border."

Su Qingyu was stunned, "Miao? He doesn't look like a Miao."

"Have you ever seen Miao people? You know how they look." Shen Zhixiu asked in surprise.

Su Qingyu explained: "My second uncle is in Qianzhou. When my second aunt gave birth to a child three years ago, I accompanied my grandmother to Qianzhou once."

That was the only time she traveled far away, and she stayed at her second uncle's house in Liping Prefecture, Qianzhou for a month.

At that time, the second uncle and the second aunt were quite caring towards her. After she got married and was not favored by Shen Zhao, the second uncle showed his true colors.

Shen Zhixiu suddenly realized, and then explained: "Mr. Zhou is not a Miao, he is a Han Chinese, and he just studied under the Miao doctor."

Su Qingyu wanted to ask a few more questions, but Wen Zhu suddenly knocked on the door and reported, "Third Master, the fourth young master Li is here."

Shen Zhixiu: "Let him wait for a moment."

"Young Master Li Si? Li Yunzhou?" Su Qingyu asked blurt out.

Shen Zhixiu nodded and said: "He is half of my student, but others don't know about it."

The implication is to keep it secret.

Su Qingyu raised her eyebrows slightly, and her words were meaningful, "Don't worry, Third Master, I won't say a word that I shouldn't say."

Shen Zhixiu remembered what she said outside the city yesterday and burst into laughter. I wanted to explain a few sentences, but after thinking about it, I couldn’t explain it.

Su Qingyu stood up to say goodbye, and when she pushed the door open and went out, she happened to see Li Yunzhou standing at the door.

In her previous life, she had never seen this God of War who became king based on his military exploits, and thought he would look like a majestic general with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes.

But the person in front of him looked more like a weak scholar. The young man stood on the edge and gave her a quiet and humble smile.

Su Qingyu nodded slightly and walked past him outside. After taking two steps out, she couldn't help but look back. This was her first time seeing this person.

But somehow it feels familiar.

She shook her head again, thinking it must be an illusion. She was sure that she had nothing to do with this person in her previous life.

After returning to Su's house, Su Qingyu got off the carriage and met the anxious Pearl.

"Miss, please go to Ziwei Garden and have a look. Madam has a severe stomachache."
