Chapter 155 Take the initiative
Xiang Dong suddenly reached out and touched her belly, "This is the heir of the Shen family. If used well, it should be able to overthrow a lady, right?"
"Even if we can't overthrow her, we can at least make her despised by the old lady and the master."
Su Qingyu was shocked by her two sentences and took a breath.
"Why do you think so?"
She thought she would try to give birth to the child smoothly and then fight for favor. But she didn't expect that she would choose this way for revenge.
Xiang Dong sneered, his tone was cold and sharp.
"His father is a beast, his stepmother is a vicious woman, and his biological mother is an unfaithful widow. What's the point of giving birth to him? To let people abuse him?"
"If the Third Madam agrees to me, I promise to cooperate with you to the fullest. You find the right time, and I will take action."
"Then the Madam will not be able to deny the charge of murdering her offspring."
Su Qingyu stared at Xiang Dong's eyes for a long time. The overwhelming hatred in them was a bit like when she was just reborn.
She asked softly, "Have you thought it through?"
Xiang Dong nodded, "I've thought about it. Before that, I will protect my life and the child's life. When the Third Madam wants it, just tell me one day in advance."
Su Qingyu knew that anyone who could hold a management position in the Shen family was not an ordinary person.
Although Chen would take action against Xiangdong, it would not be difficult for Xiangdong to save her and her child's lives.
Su Qingyu sat on the stone bench and pondered for a while, then said, "I promise you, go back."
"I will find someone to take care of your brother from now until he goes to the imperial examination. I will also send him all the money he needs."
Xiangdong kowtowed heavily to Su Qingyu again before standing up and leaving through the path beside him.
Su Qingyu sat in the pavilion for a long time. She had two chips in her hand to deal with Chen, and she didn't know if she could kill her with one blow.
After Chen, there was Shen Zhao.
She thought of Shen Zhixiu again. She wondered how he would react if one day he found out that she had harmed his eldest sister-in-law and his nephew.
In a flash, she shook her head again. She had used an open plot, and even if Chen died, it was her own fault.
Su Qingyu didn't think about it anymore, went to the study and wrote a letter, and asked someone to send it to Lin Wuchen. In the letter, she asked Lin Wuchen to find a reliable person to take care of Xiangdong's family.
At night, after washing up, Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu half leaned against the head of the bed. Only a red candle was left on, making the bright red bed curtain half bright and half dark.
Shen Zhixiu put one hand on Su Qingyu's shoulder and pulled her into his arms.
"I've heard about what happened to my elder brother. I'm sorry to trouble you today."
There was heartache in his tone.
Household affairs are already complicated, and I have to deal with the dirty and troublesome affairs of the eldest wife.
Su Qingyu put her face on his chest and said lazily: "It's not that difficult. Your wife is not someone who can be easily bullied."
"As for the affairs of the eldest wife, they have nothing to do with me."
"But I beat up the second young lady's maid today, and there might be trouble again tomorrow."
She was just saying it casually, and actually didn't take Shen Ying seriously at all.
It was just a coincidence that Shen Ying's maid was beaten today.
Shen Zhixiu snorted, "If she dares to say anything tomorrow, she won't be the maid who gets beaten."
"You are the mistress of the house, so don't worry. If these youngsters do something wrong, you should punish them and beat them. Even if the sky falls, I am still here."
"If you don't want to do it, just tell me quietly and I'll help you clean up."
You can't be so cautious and make his wife angry.
Su Qingyu couldn't help laughing, "I'm not that vicious aunt, how can I hit you just because I want to?"
What's the point of beating her? She doesn't want to help educate their children.
As for telling Shen Zhixiu, that was not her style. She would not cause him trouble if she could solve the problem herself.
As Su Qingyu spoke, she leaned closer into his arms and found a comfortable position for herself.
The person in his arms was not very honest, so Shen Zhixiu became a little distracted.
Mr. Shen, who had never been interested in women, seemed to have only tasted the sweetness of women after getting married. He lowered his head and couldn't help but kiss Su Qingyu's forehead and cheek.
In the past, Su Qingyu would have definitely hidden away in shame.
But today she suddenly raised her head, put her arms around Shen Zhixiu's neck, and her lips fell on his moving Adam's apple.
Shen Zhixiu's body, which had just been trying to endure, seemed to be burned by her fire.
He was pleasantly surprised by Su Qingyu's transformation.
The low "qingqing" sounds were entangled with the woman's shy gasps.
……
Shen Zhixiu hardly slept that night.
After getting up in the morning, he sent someone to tell the old lady that Su Qingyu would not go to pay her respects. He also told Feicui and Zhenzhu not to wake her up and let her sleep as long as she wanted.
Zhenzhu thought to herself, she hadn't slept all night, but how come her wife was so tired that she couldn't move? However, the Third Master was refreshed and didn't look tired at all.
Su Qingyu slept until noon and was woken up by hunger.
She opened her eyes and looked through the gap in the curtains, seeing the high sun outside. She was so startled that she sat up straight away.
"What time is it?"
Hearing the sound, Pearl pushed the door open and walked in, pulling open the curtains beside the bed.
"Madam has woken up. It is already two quarters past noon."
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
"The Third Master has ordered not to call you. Don't worry, the Third Master has sent someone to Qingyuanju to tell him that you were tired from checking the accounts last night, so he won't be going to pay his respects today."
Su Qingyu's face instantly turned red. Shen Zhixiu's reason...
The old lady must be very clear about what is going on.
Zhenzhu helped Su Qingyu bathe and change clothes, and the food was also set out in the side hall.
After finishing the meal, she felt that she had regained some of her spirit. She secretly regretted that if she had known that Shen Zhixiu would be like that when he got crazy, she would never have taken the initiative to kiss him.
After another two or three days, Su Qingyu discovered that these housekeepers did not cause trouble for no reason, and Shen Ying did not come to her because the maid was beaten. The housekeeper's turmoil calmed down strangely.
She was happy and relieved, so she got up early that day and planned to go out to see her mother.
After Shen Zhixiu went to court, she said something to the old lady and took a carriage to Lin Wanyin's house in Yushu Hutong.
When they arrived at Yushu Hutong, they found out that their mother was not at home but was busy in the shop. Su Qingyu got on the carriage again and headed to the shop in the west of the city.
When she entered, Lin Wanyin was talking to the steward Lin Er. She was wearing a lotus-colored Hangzhou silk jacket and a Xiangfei-colored moonlit skirt. Her ears were adorned with fine Dongzhu earrings, and she wore two warm jade carved hairpins on her head.
It is dignified and generous, yet also reveals a touch of elegance and nobility.
Su Qingyu looked at her radiant mother, and the smile between her eyebrows overflowed directly. Recalling her mother's appearance in the Marquis' Mansion, she suddenly felt that her mother seemed to be several years younger.
Lin Wanyin turned around and saw Su Qingyu coming. She was overjoyed. She waved her hand to signal Lin Er to go and do his work first. She walked forward and looked Su Qingyu up and down.
"Why did you leave the house today?"
Su Qingyu greeted Lin Er who was standing beside her and called him Uncle Lin Er.
He took Lin Wanyin's arm again and said, "I missed you, so I came to see you."
Different from her dignified and steady demeanor at the Shen family, Su Qingyu at this moment still looked like a little girl.
Lin Wanyin took Su Qingyu to the back compartment and wanted to say a few words to her daughter.
As soon as the two sat down, they heard a noise coming from outside.
"Lin Wanyin, come out here, you are going too far."
Su Qingyu frowned slightly. This voice sounded a little familiar.
It seems to be her confused father.
