Chapter 46 The couple live their own lives
Su Ci paused, stunned for a moment, and suddenly found it funny.
Su Qi still thinks Su Hua is his sister, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't be trying so hard to bring Su Hua and Zhao Shizhu together.
Originally, she wanted to find an opportunity to let Su Hua enter Zhao Shizhu's backyard, but with Su Qi's intervention, she suddenly felt that there was no need to do that.
It’s better to watch the fun and stay out of it.
Anyway, what Su Qi did had nothing to do with her, and everyone knew that Su Qi and her didn't get along well.
She was in a good mood after finding out that there was another play to watch tonight. But before entering the Shangxin Courtyard, she quickly returned to her usual resentful demeanor.
Qi Xi was serving Zhao Shizhu. Originally, he thought that it was His Highness who had let Su Ci down this time, but when he saw Su Ci's sad face, he felt that Su Ci was being too pretentious.
His Highness had no choice but to leave the palace on his wedding night, and taking a concubine was not ordered by His Highness. On the day of her return home, Su Ci acted like a resentful woman, and everyone thought that the prince had betrayed her.
Zhao Shizhu felt heavy-hearted when he saw Su Ci's sad face.
"If you have any grievances, feel free to tell me..."
Zhao Shizhu had just opened his mouth when Su Ci interrupted him: "It is a blessing for me to marry Your Highness in my previous life. How can I feel wronged? Who in Liangzhou is luckier than me to marry into Prince Duan's mansion? Your Highness, I really don't feel wronged."
Zhao Shizhu looked at Su Ci with complicated eyes. Just imagine which bride would not feel wronged when encountering such bad things? Seeing her forced smile at this moment, he felt uncomfortable.
He didn't marry her because he liked her. He had originally thought that although he didn't love her, he could at least treat her well. However, this marriage was unhappy from the beginning, and he made her suffer so much injustice, which didn't seem to be a good start.
Zhao Shizhu was extremely confused and turned around and went into the house without saying a word.
Su Ci followed curiously and saw that Zhao Shizhu had entered her bedroom and picked up the jade comb she had used on the dressing table to play with it. He was as comfortable as if this was his bedroom.
Qi Xi also felt that his master's behavior was very strange, and he kindly reminded: "Your Highness, this is Miss Su..."
Zhao Shizhu suddenly looked at Qixi with a dull look in his eyes. Qixi asked in confusion, "This is the princess' bedroom. Your Highness, won't you feel uncomfortable?"
Normally, His Highness does not like to deal with women, let alone enter a woman's boudoir.
"She is my princess, and what belongs to her belongs to me. What's wrong with that?"
Su Ci hid outside and overheard this, and hurriedly walked away.
It didn't matter if her dormitory was occupied. At worst she could give it to Zhao Shizhu. Anyway, she had never thought of sharing a room with Zhao Shizhu.
After returning to Prince Duan's Mansion, does she have to make three rules with Zhao Shizhu?
Anyway, she would never step into that so-called new house again.
Yesterday, someone's Nanny Tang revealed to her intentionally or unintentionally that the so-called new house was a temporary division. Zhao Shizhu used to live as the principal wife and had never lived in the new house.
It just so happened that she didn't like the new house. Not only did she say the lighting was bad, she also said it was unlucky. After she lived there for just one night, she became a laughing stock among the people of Liangzhou.
She decided to live in the west side hall from now on, and keep out of the way of Zhao Shizhu, and live their own lives.
By the time of dinner, almost all the relatives of the Su family had arrived.
Su Ci's aunt's surname was Zhan, and she deliberately pulled her aside to talk to her for a long time. "Aunt is an experienced person, and she knows how difficult it is for women. Your uncle has two concubines and a maid. At first, aunt was jealous and fought with those bitches, but later she found that it was useless to quarrel, so she let it go. Ah Ci, although your brother-in-law dotes on you, he also has several concubines. As a woman, what else can we do except accept our fate? You married such a noble man, and there will be no peace in the backyard. You just need to firmly control the household affairs in the palace. When you give birth to a legitimate son, your position in the palace will be unshakable..."
Zhan said a lot, but Su Ci only heard one sentence, which was that she wanted to take control of the financial power of the palace.
There was no need for her to get involved in the intrigues in the backyard. As the mistress of the palace, she could just watch the show.
"Aci, I listen to my aunt." Su Ci smiled obediently.
Seeing the usually naughty little girl suddenly become so sensible, Zhan felt sad.
"Child, you will have to rely on yourself after you get married. If you encounter problems that you cannot solve, remember that your brother-in-law will support you, okay?" Mrs. Zhan said softly.
Su Ci knew that the elders were worried about him, so he replied: "Don't worry, aunt, I will take good care of myself."
Zhan chatted with Su Ci for a long time. When Su Ci looked up again, Zhao Shizhu, who had been at the table just now, had disappeared.
They had already finished dinner, so it was not surprising that Zhao Shizhu left, but she guessed that it was Su Qi who called Zhao Shizhu away.
[Su Er really intends to get Zhao Shizhu and Su Hua together. Where is Ah Ci? Your man is about to be ruined by Su Hua, help him, help him quickly!!]
Su Ci doesn't bother to care about Zhao Shizhu's life or death. Besides, if Su Qi succeeds, Su Hua will be able to succeed. Doesn't this put the plot on the right track?
She just needs to watch the fun.
Su Qi did tell Zhao Shizhu that he had something to discuss. Zhao Shizhu knew Su Qi, and he also knew that Su Qi and Su Ci didn't get along well. But since Su Qi and Su Ci were siblings, he couldn't refuse, so he went to Qingxinyuan.
Qingxinyuan is quite elegant, and Su Qi is a handsome man, which is consistent with the temperament of Qingxinyuan.
Su Qi took out the peach blossom wine that he had prepared early in the morning and poured a cup for Zhao Shizhu: "This is the peach blossom wine that I have treasured for many years. Your Highness, please try it."
When Qi Xi, who was serving on the side, saw this scene, he suddenly remembered the scene where Su Ci drugged His Highness.
He didn't know if it was because of some psychological trauma, but when he looked at Su Qi, he actually felt that he was particularly disgusting.
Coincidentally, Zhao Shizhu also took a second look at Taohuaniang.
Just by smelling the wine, he could smell the aroma, but he had always been cautious, and even though Su Qi was Su Ci's brother, he was still worried that there was something wrong with the wine.
"Your Highness has drunk a lot of wine at the banquet just now. You must not drink too much. Otherwise, if the princess blames you, it will be difficult for you to explain." Qi Xi Fu came to his senses and stepped forward to say to Zhao Shizhu.
Zhao Shizhu thought it made sense and agreed, "Ah Ci did tell me not to drink too much. I will listen to you."
Su Qi was well prepared. He went in and brought out a pot of tea: "Your Highness, if you don't want to drink too much, then have a cup of tea to quench your thirst."
Before Zhao Shizhu could reply, Qi Xi stepped forward, took the tea, and drank it all in one gulp: "I am thirsty, thank you for the tea, Master."
Su Qi laughed when he saw this: "No need to thank me."
He stopped urging people to drink or drink tea, and went straight to business: "I came here to talk to Your Highness about Su Ci. When Su Ci was in the boudoir, she was spoiled by my father and often got into trouble. I am afraid that she will get into trouble again and again after marrying into Prince Duan's mansion. I only ask Your Highness to be more tolerant for my father's sake..."
