Su Qingyu stopped and twitched the corners of her lips.
Who would wrap their pajamas inside when they are hired?
Does Wenzhu know what he is talking about?
The boy leading the way obviously heard the movement inside, and quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Third Master, Miss Su is here."
There was a moment of silence in the room, followed by panicked footsteps and the sound of the door opening.
Wen Zhu had a flattering smile on her thin face, "Miss Su, please come in."
"Miss Su, I would like to explain the pajamas. It's not what you think."
If someone puts pajamas down below, he is either a slut or a flower picker.
Shen Zhixiu glared at Wenzhu, then looked at Su Qingyu pretending to be calm, "Sit down, don't listen to Wenzhu's nonsense."
Wenzhu shrank his neck, always feeling that if this matter was not explained clearly, the Third Master would leave a bad impression on Miss Su.
Just when Wen Zhu was wondering whether to explain further, Su Qingyu was already looking at him curiously.
"What were you talking about just now? What was included in the betrothal gift?"
She pretended not to hear what it was, hoping to ease Shen Zhixiu and Wen Zhu's embarrassment. When she thought about it, Wenzhu covered it up and the matter would be over.
No matter what was included in the betrothal gift, they would just wait until she gets married to find it.
But Wenzhu didn't understand Su Qingyu's intention and focused on making the matter clear.
Wen Zhu didn't even look at Shen Zhixiu before he spoke.
"Miss Su, it happened the night before the emperor issued a marriage decree to the Su family. Our third master heard that the prince wanted to let Miss Su enter the East Palace, so he asked us to prepare a betrothal gift overnight."
Wenzhu deliberately didn't mention his pajamas first, intending to explain his past relationship first.
Su Qingyu suddenly realized that this was the reason why she had never thought deeply about the appointment. No wonder, as soon as Shen Zhixiu finished the engagement, the imperial edict for marriage came.
Wenzhu continued, "That night, our yard was in a mess. After all, it was a sixty-year-old betrothal gift. I didn't have time to carefully select it, so I just packed it in the small warehouse."
"Dexi, the young man who was personally serving the third master, originally went to the sewing room to get the third master's pajamas. However, he was temporarily taken to the warehouse to store the betrothal gift, so he put the pajamas aside."
"Then he forgot about it. He only remembered it after taking inventory of Third Master's clothes today."
Wenzhu talked about the scene that night with great eloquence and vividness.
Su Qingyu almost laughed out loud when she heard the last part. She could already imagine the chaos in the west courtyard that night.
"I went back to look for it. I found it and sent it back." Su Qingyu said softly.
Seeing that the matter was almost explained, Wenzhu smiled and said, "There is no need to look for it. When you get married and put things away, you will naturally see them."
"You are chatting with the third master first, and your subordinates will leave first."
After Wen Zhu left, Su Qingyu sat in a chair in a daze and didn't speak for a long time.
Shen Zhixiu had completely offended the prince by not entering the East Palace because of her.
Coincidence is one thing, Shen Zhixiu doing it intentionally is another. This is a huge favor.
She didn't dare to think what would have happened if Shen Zhixiu hadn't noticed what was going on in the palace that day, or if he didn't want to offend the prince. The emperor's order cannot be violated, she should already be in the East Palace.
Su Qingyu felt scared for a while, and she didn't even notice that Shen Zhixiu was standing in front of her.
"What's going on? It's just that the wedding gift was too hasty, so it doesn't matter."
Shen Zhixiu's gentle voice made Su Qingyu's heart ripple.
She looked up at him, and there was a layer of emotion in her eyes that Shen Zhixiu couldn't understand.
Their eyes met and entangled, and then the two of them subconsciously dodged at the same time.
Su Qingyu coughed lightly and asked him, "So you knew the news that night. Did the prince already know that you did it on purpose?"
Shen Zhixiu guessed what she was thinking and sat down next to her, "Even if he knows that I did it on purpose, it's not a big deal."
"Although I am a disciple of Mr. Chen Ge, I am not a serious princeling. I have never served in Zhan Shifu."
"Besides, I didn't enter the court just to follow the prince."
In fact, his words somewhat meant to comfort Su Qingyu. Although he did not serve in Zhan Shifu, his relationship with Mr. Chen Ge already marked him as a princeling.
Su Qingyu murmured: "I won't let anything happen to you."
She spoke softly, more like she was speaking to herself.
Just at this time, Wen Zhu came in with tea, but Shen Zhixiu didn't hear what Su Qingyu said clearly.
He turned to her and asked, "What did you say?"
Su Qingyu looked at him and said: "I said, the third master can do whatever he wants to do in the future, and leave the affairs of the back house to me."
Shen Zhixiu was stunned for a moment, as if something touched his heart, making him feel numb.
"Actually, it's nothing. The population in the west courtyard is simple. Then I will choose some honest girls to come in. As for the main courtyard... you only need to pay your respects to mother, and no one else has to worry about it."
Shen Zhixiu lowered his head and took a sip of tea to hide the inexplicable panic in his heart.
Then he asked, "What's the matter with you coming today?"
No way, you came here specifically to see him, right?
Su Qingyu then remembered that she still had something serious to say, and quickly sorted out her messy thoughts.
"Last month, I sent Su Yihui to Jinghui Temple to practice. Partly because she bullied my fourth sister in the house, and also to teach Aunt Xue a lesson."
"But she suddenly returned home yesterday and made a private engagement with Zhao Ji, the eldest son of Duke Wei. Zhao Ji transferred my second uncle back to Beijing, and my grandmother was very happy."
"This morning, Zhao Ji gave gifts to everyone in the Su family, saying that he wanted to thank the Su family for taking care of Su Yihui. But the gift given to me was the most precious. We just met Zhao Ji accidentally at the Fanjin Building. , Zhao Ji is very attentive to me."
"I said we met by accident, but I always feel that Su Yihui did it on purpose and deliberately got close to me in front of Zhao Ji."
"After much thought, I always feel that Zhao Ji agreed to marry Su Yihui because of me. But what can I do for Zhao Ji to take advantage of? In the final analysis, it may still be because of the third master."
"I just wanted to ask, is there any conflict of interest here?"
Su Qingyu explained clearly what happened in the past two days.
Shen Zhixiu listened calmly until Su Qingyu finished speaking, then he laughed and gently rubbed the old sandalwood beads on his wrist.
"Zhao Ji is afraid that if I support my cousin to ascend to the throne, I will lose the title of Duke Wei."
Su Qingyu also knew a thing or two about the affairs of Duke Wei's mansion.
Duke Wei had been stationed in Qianzhou when he was young, and happened to catch up with the unrest in Miao territory. Therefore, it is late to get married and even later to have children. Duke Wei Guo is over sixty years old this year, and his eldest son Zhao Jicai is only thirty-five years old.
The current wife of the Duke, Yan, had delayed her marriage because of her filial piety, and she was already twenty years old when she married into the Zhao family. After getting married, she gave birth to a son and a daughter. Son Zhao Rui is twenty-eight years old this year and married to the daughter of the Yan family in Jinling.
When Su Qingyu heard that it was because of the title, she thought about the relationship between Shen Zhixiu and Mrs. Wei Guogong, and saw through the key points.
Su Yihui used her and Shen Zhixiu, damn it.
"Third Master, I will handle this matter. Su Yihui cannot marry into the Zhao family."
