What Shen Ying said was reasonable and well-founded, and her tone was for Su Qingyu's good.

According to Shen Ying's idea, when she said these words, Su Qingyu should refuse in every possible way if she knew the origin of this mask.

When the time comes, this set of masks will be taken back by my grandmother, and no matter who I pass it on to in the future, it will be better than giving it to Su Qingyu.

But Su Qingyu was not as horrified as Shen Ying thought when she heard the origin of this mask.

She was indeed surprised that such a valuable thing was given to her suddenly.

But the thing was given by the old lady, and Shen Zhixiu took it over, which means that the two principals of the Shen family agreed to give it to her.

If she insisted on refusing, she would probably hurt the old lady's feelings.

In addition, the more Shen Ying said this, the less she wanted to follow Shen Ying's wishes.

Su Qingyu thought for a moment and said, "It turns out he came from the palace. No wonder he looks so refined and noble."

She didn't say yes or no, and planned to see what the old lady said first.

Just as she thought, the old lady glared at Shen Ying and said, "The things are gifts from me, and they are suitable as I say."

Then he turned around and said to Su Qingyu with a smile on his face: "I told you to keep it, so just keep it with peace of mind. You've seen too many good things, and you don't look down on them from me, an old woman."

Su Qingyu said hurriedly: "Thank you very much, old lady. Qingyu will listen to you."

With that said, he ordered Jade to accept the jewelry.

Shen Yue rolled her eyes at Shen Ying, then took Su Qingyu's hand and said, "Sister Su, if grandma gives it to you, you can accept it with peace of mind. Some people are just jealous, so don't take what they say to heart."

Shen Ying was so angry that she wanted to step forward to argue, but seeing Shen Zhixiu looking at her coldly, she immediately swallowed the words that came to her lips.

After several people sat together and had lunch, Shen Zhixiu sent someone to take Su Qingyu back.

When only Shen Zhixiu and the old lady were left in the room, the servants came in and served tea and then retreated. Only then did the old lady ask him, "Tell me, why did you change the gold bun hairstyle I chose?"

Shen Zhixiu said seriously: "Isn't the prince eyeing her? I plan to let her wear this dongzhu headdress into the palace. The prince doesn't like the luxury and extravagance of noble ladies."

The old lady looked at Shen Zhixiu inquiringly, "Is this the reason? If it is really because of this, I have so many luxurious products in my warehouse, why did you choose this set given by the Queen Mother?"

It's not that she couldn't bear to part with it, she was older and didn't care about these external things. After she left, these things were not all divided among the juniors.

But Shen Zhixiu chose this one, and she was curious about what he thought. This little son's thoughts are so deep that she can't see through them most of the time.

Shen Zhixiu subconsciously touched his chin and said, "If you wear this set in the palace, the whole palace will know the attitude of our Shen family."

The old lady was startled for a moment, then laughed out loud.

"You actually came up with this idea. Why, are you afraid that your unmarried daughter-in-law will be bullied when she enters the palace?"

"Don't worry, this girl is not weak and easy to bully."

Shen Zhixiu raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's not easy to marry a wife at my age. I have to protect her."

Mrs. Shen just picked up the tea cup and took a sip. She almost spit out the tea when she heard this.

Pointing at Shen Zhixiu, he said: "You, you, you can say such things."

Since he was eighteen years old, his family has been watching marriages for him. But in recent years, he has devoted himself to his official career, and even a marriage has not been agreed upon. She didn't want to force her son, so she delayed.

After laughing, Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Zhixiu seriously again, "It seems that this unexpected marriage is on your mind."

"Maybe this is fate. If you don't send back the news of your death, this marriage will not be possible."

Shen Zhixiu smiled and said nothing, neither acknowledging nor explaining. There was only a touch of tenderness rarely seen between his relaxed brows.

After a while, Wen Zhu suddenly walked in and reported in a low voice: "Third Master, the banquet at Duke Wei's mansion is over. Marquis Zhongyi sent a message saying that he has something to do and wants to see you."

The old lady looked at him suspiciously, "Didn't you say that the banquet has been rescheduled?"

Shen Zhixiu coughed lightly, hiding the embarrassment in his eyes, stood up and said, "My son has something else to do, so I won't chat with my mother."

The old lady looked at his back and shook her head slightly, with a smile on her lips. In two or three years, the grandson will be able to run around everywhere, right?

--------------------

A few days later, Feicui found someone to make a waterproof fire seal and showed it to Su Qingyu.

"You did a good job, just as I thought. In the past few days, keep an eye on the young master. Especially if he has brought anything strange into the house, such as a small bucket."

She remembered that in her previous life, Xu Liangping specially customized buckets that could be carried around for this purpose, and gave two to each of his friends. These people all set off from their respective homes and gathered at the Xu family's warehouse where fireworks were set off at night.

I don't know if Su Yuankai, that loser, can be chosen by Xu Liangping. But seeing how happy Su Yuankai is these days, I'm afraid he has become familiar with Xu Liangping.

Jade knew that the matter was very important, so he and Agate took turns staring at Su Yuankai for twelve hours.

On the day Lin was born in confinement, Su Qingyu went to have dinner with Lin.

After dinner, mother and daughter leaned on the kang and talked about themselves.

"Mom, when Mr. Zhou came to get your pulse yesterday, he said that you were almost recovered. You don't need to take the medicine after a few more doses."

Mrs. Lin held Su Qingyu's hand and said, "From now on, I will leave these trivial matters in the house to my mother. You can prepare to get married with peace of mind."

"You also have to be careful with your needlework, and your husband's family will take care of it when you marry."

Su Qingyu said hurriedly: "I know, I'll do it when I get back soon." After thinking about it, she asked in a low voice: "Mom, now that you are out of confinement, I want to ask you something. In the days to come, what will you do? What's the plan?"

Lin was pregnant and had a miscarriage before, so Su Qingyu devoted herself to taking care of her body.

Now that she was fine, she planned to mention some things.

Mrs. Lin looked at Su Qingyu in confusion, "In the future? I didn't understand what you meant."

Su Qingyu sighed and said distressedly: "Mom, you and my father have no relationship for a long time. He has not considered our mother and daughter at all. Will mom continue to waste the rest of her life in the Hou Mansion?"

"It would be okay if I were a son and could protect you. But in a few months, I will get married. What will my mother do then?"

Mrs. Lin was stunned by what Su Qingyu said, and then said: "What can we do? I can't reconcile with your father. Life in the family house is not always like this."

If she didn't have children now, she would definitely leave the prince's mansion immediately. As big as the world is, there is always a place for her. But she still has a daughter, and she has to consider her daughter in everything she does.

Although the Zhou Dynasty allowed women to reconcile, there was little precedent for aristocratic families like theirs. If she divorces, it will affect her daughter's reputation.

Su Qingyu didn't know that Mrs. Lin was caring about her, so she blurted out: "Why not? If others live like this, they are willing to endure it."

After saying this, Su Qingyu suddenly felt something in her heart and understood everything.

She squeezed Ms. Lin's hand and said, "Mother is afraid that my marriage will be affected? But I just want my mother to live the life I want for the rest of her life."

"When I wanted to marry a dead man, my mother supported me without saying anything. Now, no matter what my mother decides, my daughter also supports me."
