Shen Zhu and Su Zongwen then brought Ruanruan into the house. The inside of the house was equally spacious with all the tools and furnishings, all of them were made of high quality materials.

The two of them took the child for a walk around the house before finally sitting on the couch in the main house to rest for a while.

Not long after, Su Yunyan ran in excitedly and sat down in the room. He poured two cups of water for himself, poured some water into his stomach to quench his thirst, and then started speaking.

If it was only Su Zongwen, he would definitely not dare say it, but since Shen Zhu was here, he must have more guts than usual, so he could speak more.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, our family is really too big! Even if we were to be separated, it would still be too big!"

Su Yunyan compared the east side of the courtyard to the house he had previously lived in, the difference was like clouds and mud.

Shen Zhu chatted casually with Su Yunyan. Not long later, Su Qingyi arrived as well.

Su Qingyi carefully sized up the courtyard, then quickly walked in. Seeing that Su Yunyan was also there, he smiled and said: "I just put everything away properly and ran over here, I didn't think that you would actually run faster than me."

Su Yunyan proudly raised his head, "That's true, coming back here makes me feel a lot more constrained. With so many people watching, I might as well come over here and leave the people accompanying me outside to chat with my sister-in-law."

Su Qingyi nodded his head, and agreed completely, "Yunyan, if you get tired of living in the Cloudburst Pavilion, we can change room, how about that?"

"Of course it's fine. We can even squeeze in a quilt during the winter." The two of them immediately clashed.

Shen Zhu tried to coax Ruanruan to sleep, looking at the two people who were chatting fervently, as well as the drowsy Su Zongwen by the side of the bed.

She covered the man with a blanket, "The people sent over from the Su Clan are outside. If you have time, you can take care of them and then go buy some girls to bring back."

There were people's trusted aides left in the courtyard, and they didn't even know that they had died that day.

Outside of the courtyard, there was a grandma with dozens of maidservants majestically entering the World's Peace Garden. The woman in the lead was a bit old; she was most likely the old man of the manor.

"This old woman pays her respects to all the young masters and young misses."

The leader of the women swaggered into the room. She bowed to the crowd and said in a neither haughty nor humble manner, "I'm the old lady's servant, my surname is Mo."

After Mama Mo finished speaking, he started to explain his purpose for coming here, "All the young misses and masters have just returned to the mansion, and there's only a sturdy little girl in the courtyard. The old lady thought that none of you have close friends to attend to, so she specially made the old granny choose some smart and capable people to come over, and let the young misses and madams choose a few."

"Thank you, Mama." Shen Zhu's heart skipped a beat. Not counting the old lady's eyes and ears that were kept in the courtyard, she actually still needed to be escorted to her side.

Shen Zhu saw that the complexions of the two sister-in-law had changed, and was the first to speak: "Grandmother is thinking about us all, it's well, I hope Mama can go back and thank Grandmother for her love."

"Yes, Young Madam."

Although his tone was respectful, his manner of speaking did not take the people in the room to be his master.

"All of you, come in." Mama Mo shouted to the outside and immediately, 20 young maidservants swarmed over, standing in four rows neatly.

"The old lady said that the young miss and the young lady might not be used to the maidservants serving them, but once we return to the mansion, we must follow the rules of the mansion, so that no one else would see us and lose face for our Su Family." Mama Mo stood at the side with his back straight.

"Mama must be joking. Since Grandmother has shown us good intentions, we will take it on ourselves." As Shen Zhu said this, he took the lead and picked two servant girls, and then Su Qingyi and Su Yunyan picked one, which made Mama Mo satisfied.

"If there's anything, masters, please tell the people below. I'll be going now." Mama Mo and the rest bowed to the people in the house and left.

Shen Zhu waved to the maidservants he left behind to go out, then said to the two sister-in-law: "Endure it, she's famous."

Su Yunyan had an explosive temper, and was not restricted in any way, "I know, this Third Uncle is really …"

Su Zongwen was actually still awake. Listening to the worries of the few women talking back, he secretly thought of other things.

The night was not as grand as noon, everyone was gathered in the dining hall. Although Su Zhizhong and Su Zhiyan still had to put in some effort to save face, but today's dinner was eaten by their own dinner in their own courtyard. Thinking about it, Old Madame Su was also not feeling well, and did not want to continue having his entire family sit at the same table, in case his anger got worse.

Peace Garden.

Seeing that the sky was bright, Shen Zhu got someone to move two rattan chairs over and sat in the courtyard with Su Zongwen to admire the moon.

"Brother Wen, now that you have reached the capital and returned to the Su Family, although you are dressed in luxurious clothing and have so many servant girls around you serving you, your days are much better than before. Shen Zhu was at a loss for what to do, as he lightly sighed.

Today was only the first day, but the Old Madame Su had only sent a few servant girls in.

Su Zongwen sat beside Shen Zhu and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, pulling her close to his side while comforting her gently, "This is what father and mother has always wished for, the Su Palace is father and second uncle's home. They always thought about coming back during the days of being demoted, Yue Niang, I'm afraid that in the future, they will feel wronged."

After Su Zongwen finished speaking, he raised his head to look at the night sky.

"As long as I am here, no one can bully you and your child." Su Zongwen rested his chin on Shen Zhu's head, his hands tightly wrapped around her.

"Brother Wen, I believe you." Shen Zhu laid in his embrace, listening to the man's calm and forceful heartbeat, her heart also calmed down following him, "Brother Wen, as long as you and your child are here, no matter if it's the mud-yellow house or the Wealthy house, it's our home."

"Yue Niang, thank you." Hearing that, Su Zongwen's grip became tighter, as though he was afraid that if he let go, Shen Zhu would disappear.

Under the moonlight, the two figures tightly snuggled together.

Shen Zhu quietly enjoyed the peace of this moment, her anxious and flustered heart had already calmed down. No matter how many tricks the Old Madame Su had, she could not openly kick them out of the Su Palace, so if she made things difficult for them, she could only take the initiative.

Yongan Hall.

Su Zhiqi was so angry that he did not even have time to eat properly.

The more he thought about what had happened today, the angrier he got. If it wasn't for the fact that Eunuch Jiu talked too much, perhaps the matter regarding the branch family would have been resolved. Su Zhizhong and the rest would not have brought it up.

If Su Zhizhong and the others really brought it up, they might even benefit from the presence of the Old Madame Su. But today, that elder had explained everything clearly, and even brought out the Noble Consort Su to suppress them, making it so that even if they wanted to, they had nowhere to hide.

"Mother, are we just going to let this matter go? Big Brother, Second Brother and the others have already left the Su Family for twenty-three years. Su Zhiqi said angrily, only after drinking two cups of tea did he finally manage to calm down.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He anxiously looked at Old Madame Su and asked, "Mother, they have come with ill intentions, what should we do?"
