Chapter 1486: 1486 Deliver to Bed 1

Shen Yun was indeed sly and cunning. Her son wouldn’t even marry Miss Gongsun from a first-class family, let alone Su Zhenzhu. Agreeing at this moment would only force her son to turn against her, "Chuan’er is too strong-willed. If he treats Zhenzhu poorly in the future..."

"I don’t mind..." Su Zhenzhu blurted out.

Shen Yun slightly raised an eyebrow, "You don’t mind whether your husband is good to you or not, what are you really after?"

Her tone was powerful without anger.

Su Zhenzhu immediately knelt down, "I dare not have any ulterior motives. I genuinely like my brother-in-law (cousin sister’s husband)..."

Upon hearing the term ’brother-in-law (cousin sister’s husband)’, Shen Yun’s facial expression soured—how could she not know that Zhenzhu was after money? Shortly after she had married Xiao Chonghuan, some of her cousin sisters similarly set their sights on her husband, among them a cousin named Cai Lian who ingratiated herself abundantly and eventually was brought into the Xiao Mansion to become a concubine.

She had thought that sister cousins serving one husband together would get along well, yet who knew her cousin Cai Lian, relying on Xiao Chonghuan’s momentary favor, would no longer regard her, the main wife, taking her place.

In the end, that pitiful cousin "died of an illness".

A mere concubine, the husband didn’t bother to investigate the cause of death; he just gave Cai Lian’s family some silver taels, buried her, and that was that.

Given her own experience, she least liked sisters setting their hearts on someone else’s husband.

Regrettably, to deal with Su Qingyue, she needed these three despicable goods to create chaos, "I will not intervene; rely on your own abilities."

The underlying message was that she didn’t care anymore.

"Lady Xiao..." Su Zhenzhu still wanted to say something, but Su Dashui glanced at Shen Yun’s somewhat gloomy face and hurriedly tugged at Zhenzhu’s sleeve, "Stop talking."

Shen Yun spoke coldly, "If there’s nothing else, you may leave."

The Su Family couple and Zhenzhu bowed and then took their leave.

After they were gone, Shuang’er said discontentedly, "What are these three? With Su Zhenzhu looking like that, how is she fit to be a concubine for the young Master? She really doesn’t know her place."

"The less she knows her place, the better," Shen Yun sipped her tea and said, "Go to the Su couple later and insinuate that whatever happens, I will cover for them."

"Understood."

At dinner, the Su Family couple were in the living room of Elegant Garden. The table was laden with chicken, duck, fish, and meat. Despite Lady Xiao not agreeing to the marriage, the three were in poor spirits; nonetheless, they devoured the food voraciously.

After Shuang’er made a trip there, hinting that Lady Xiao would help out in consideration of the family connection, the Su’s courage grew even bolder.

The slight worries in their hearts vanished with Shuang’er’s words.

After a satisfying meal, Su Zhenzhu said, "Uncle, according to what Shuang’er has conveyed, as long as my Cousin agrees to take me as a concubine, Lady Xiao will agree. Just make up a story that you saw me crying alone last night because I have a crush on my Cousin. I didn’t cry at all. Yesterday, I slept like the dead. Your ability to make up stories is truly masterful."

"Indeed," Su Dashui said proudly, "After all, I have lived through most of my life."

"Uncle, you must think of a strategy for me."

"I already have a plan. Your Cousin hasn’t come home this late; in a little while, you should..." Su Dashui whispered a few words to Su Zhenzhu.

Su Zhenzhu exclaimed, "How could that work?"

"A woman delivered to the doorstep, no man can resist taking her. Whether you’re willing or not, that’s for you to decide."

"Of course, I’m willing," Su Zhenzhu’s face lit up with excitement.
