Chapter 130 Charm
Su Qingyu's voice was not loud, but not soft either.
As soon as these words were spoken, not only the rest of the Shen family looked at the two sisters-in-law, but the servants also looked over quietly.
The old lady doesn't drink yam soup. I'm afraid only this new third lady in the house doesn't know. Doesn't the eldest lady do this to embarrass the third lady?
It wasn't a big deal, but the third lady was a little unsightly on the second day after her wedding.
How could the rest of the Shen family not understand something that the servants could understand.
Shen Zhiheng's expression suddenly changed and he glared at Chen, listening to what she said.
Mrs. Chen also panicked, but regained her composure in an instant.
He smiled and said, "Brother and sister, you heard me wrong. I said yam soup should never be given to mother."
Su Qingyu smiled when she heard this, "I must have heard wrong. Fortunately, I asked again, otherwise it would have been a joke."
Chen gritted his teeth and forced a smile.
"It doesn't matter, you will know mother's habits as time goes by."
This misunderstood statement was something she had already thought of. She originally planned to wait for Su Qingyu to bring the soup to the old lady, but then she said that Su Qingyu had heard wrongly.
Everyone present could see what Chen was thinking.
From the old lady to the three masters of the Shen family, and even several young ladies and young masters, none of them are human beings.
There are so many twists and turns in the inner house that you can figure it out with a little thought.
No one else in the Shen family spoke. Only the old lady glanced at Mr. Chen lightly, and then said to Su Qingyu in a pleasant tone.
"You are still a new wife, so there is no need for you to do anything. Come and sit down. You can sit down too."
Everyone sat down according to the order of seniority and youngness.
Mrs. Chen ate this meal with great apprehension, and the old lady smiled when she looked at others. Only when he looked at her, his eyes were condensed.
Su Qingyu never mentioned the soup matter again. It was good to stop such matters in moderation, and the old lady would naturally deal with it privately. If she holds on to it, it means she is ignorant.
Sure enough, after dinner, when everyone got up and left, the old lady left Chen behind.
Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu bowed out and walked to the west courtyard.
"How do you know mother doesn't drink yam soup? It's my fault that I forgot to tell you mother's preference." Shen Zhixiu held Su Qingyu's hand and whispered.
Su Qingyu smiled and said: "Last year I came to my house and had a meal with my mother. I heard what my servant said."
Shen Zhixiu asked her casually, "Last year? When?"
Su Qingyu coughed slightly, "When you are buried in the tomb."
In fact, Shen Zhixiu regretted it after asking. Su Qingyu came to Shen's house last year, probably for the funeral.
"I haven't thanked you yet, Madam. I'm busy preparing for the funeral." Shen Zhixiu teased.
The two of them walked around the side of the garden and walked to the bluestone path. Su Qingyu suddenly stopped.
Shen Zhixiu had been talking to her in a low voice, but he had no idea what to do. When he looked up, he found that Cheng Ruijin was standing not far away, watching them.
Cheng Rujin twisted her waist and stepped forward, saluting, "Third uncle...cousin."
After not seeing each other for several months, Su Qingyu found that she was a little more charming than before.
Su Qingyu signaled Shen Zhixiu not to speak. She took two steps forward and said seriously: "Aunt Cheng, when will all the concubines in this family be ranked according to their seniority?"
"Last time in the Hou Mansion, you called Third Master Third Uncle. Third Master didn't reprimand you because he was too lazy to argue with you."
"Do you really think you are qualified to call me that?"
"If you don't understand the rules, I can find two nuns to teach you."
Ever since Cheng Rujin was given a bowl of anti-child medicine by the old lady and was not allowed to leave the house, she had devoted all her energy to seduce Shen Zhao.
In addition, the principal wife had not entered the house, so she was the only one in Shen Zhao's room. As the days went by, Cheng Rujin felt quite comfortable.
A few days ago, she asked someone to get some secret skills in the brothel. In the past few days, Shen Zhao had been sneaking into her house almost every night.
Cheng Rujin was stunned by Su Qingyu's few words. She didn't expect that Su Qingyu would dare to scold her like this just after they got married.
Even if she is a concubine, she is still the concubine of the eldest family. Su Qingyu speaks so harshly, isn't she afraid that the Shen parents will say she is domineering?
Seeing her standing in a daze, Su Qingyu said coldly.
"Aunt Cheng hasn't left yet. Are you planning to let me take you back to the main room in person?"
Cheng Rujin did not dare to say any more, so she could only bow and leave.
"The third brother and sister have taught you a good lesson, how can a concubine be so unruly?" As soon as Cheng Rujin left, the second wife, Yang, came over from the other side of the path.
Su Qingyu hurriedly smiled and said, "I made my second sister-in-law laugh."
She didn't say much and didn't bring the topic to Cheng Rujin.
Yang originally wanted to chide Cheng Rujin in order to get closer to Su Qingyu.
But Su Qingyu was always calm, and she suddenly couldn't answer the question.
"Three siblings are going back tomorrow, right? You'll be busy tomorrow, so remember to go to my place more so we can talk."
Su Qingyu followed Yang's words and replied politely: "Thank you second sister-in-law for thinking about me. I will definitely come over when I have time."
Seeing that Shen Zhixiu was still waiting, Yang didn't want to delay any longer. After exchanging pleasantries, he turned around and left.
After Yang left, Shen Zhixiu asked, "What do you think of the second sister-in-law, madam?"
Whether it was the recognition of relatives today or just now, Yang was full of goodwill towards Su Qingyu, and even deliberately tried to please her.
Anyone who just walks in and is treated kindly by such a sister-in-law will think of this person, right?
Unexpectedly, Su Qingyu lowered her head, thought for a moment, and said, "Second sister-in-law is a typical person who wants both inside and outside."
"I'm afraid that in the end, I won't even gain any face."
In front of Shen Zhixiu, she didn't want to say those high-sounding words.
She didn't believe that Shen Zhixiu hadn't seen through Yang after all these years.
If they had eight hundred hidden intentions when talking to each other, then their day would not be too tiring.
Shen Zhixiu's eyes lit up, "Oh? How do you say this?"
Su Qingyu smiled and said: "Just like what happened just now, she must have been watching for a while. But she didn't come out until Cheng Rujin left, making it clear that she didn't want to get involved with me and Dafang."
"But if you don't want to get involved, don't come out and say it. She wants to come out and talk to me again, and she wants to sell two of them to me."
"Second sister-in-law is very clever, but she is too calculating."
Shen Zhixiu looked at Su Qingyu with admiration. His original intention was to remind Su Qingyu not to trust his second sister-in-law Yang too much. Unexpectedly, she could see clearly on her own and didn't need him to mention anything else.
After returning to the west courtyard, Shen Zhixiu went to the study, while Su Qingyu went back to the main room to change clothes.
While helping her change clothes, Pearl pouted and talked about Cheng Rujin.
"Madam didn't see it, cousin... Aunt Cheng's eyes were always glancing at the Third Master's face."
"In my opinion, such a person should be dragged out and beaten to death with sticks."
"She has a foxy look on her face, and her eyes are about to protrude with flowers."
