Chapter 63 of the first volume, Inner Court of the Backyard.

With three chapters of agreement? That's interesting," Shen Yuan said, letting Shang Chu Yun continue, "Go ahead."
"I know that you married me as a matter of expedience, and I did not marry you because I was enamored with you. In that case, why don't we mutually benefit and help each other?"
Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow at the words "mutual help and benefit". He came from the Duke's household, and she was just a girl from a low-ranking official family, so it was impossible for her to climb any higher. He didn't consider himself picky when it came to marriage, but if he couldn't find a suitable girl, he might as well choose someone he knew, someone who could be of use to him. Was this what caused Shang Chuyun to become bolder and more daring?
"If I remember correctly, Miss Shang did not fulfill my wish, and the letter about Emperor Su's background is still in the hands of the other party. It seems that you have no credit."
Shen Yuan saw Shang Chu Yun opening her mouth to explain and continued, "No gains, but still put oneself in danger, and in the end, I have to save you. With Miss Shang like this, how can we mutually benefit and help each other?"
Shang Chu Yun did not deny it, and because it was raining outside, in a hurry, she was also afraid that her words would be drowned out by the sound of rain hitting the car roof, so she raised her voice, "Lord Shen, to judge Shu Yun's usefulness based solely on this matter is too arbitrary. Moreover, the imperial palace is not a place where a woman like me can demonstrate martial arts!"
Shen Yuan did not refute Shang Chuyun's words but asked again, "Miss Shang, where is the place for you to display your martial arts?"
Shang Chuyun pondered for a moment and replied, "Men are in the court and the martial world, while women are in the inner court and courtyard."
Shang Chu Yun reminded Shen Yuan that the adult prince had already established a mansion outside the palace, and the Su Prince was no exception. Although Su Prince Li You has not married a main princess, he already has two side princesses. So this Shang Chu Yun is just trying to start from here.
But once Shang Chuyun marries into the Duke Shen's mansion, the matters in the back courtyard are already enough to give her a headache. Shen Yuan, on the other hand, lowers his head and smiles, suddenly feeling a little sorry for Shang Chuyun. Because in this regard, it is indeed him who has dragged her into the abyss.
Over there, Shang Chu Yun saw Shen Yuan with a faint smile and remained silent. He then said, "Do you think so, Master Shen?"
"I have no interest in the affairs of the inner court." Shen Yuan's stepmother, whom he did not want to mention much, was simply from an official family. She could not compare to his mother, who was a princess and had passed away many years ago. However, this woman was extremely cunning. Although she had no children, she had become the master of the Hui Qing Ge, overseeing the provision in the Marquis of Shen's residence.
Seeing Shen Yuan's suddenly cold face, Shang Chuyun thought he had said something wrong, so he wisely stopped mentioning it. At that moment, the carriage had already arrived at Lin'an Temple.
Shen Yuan got off the carriage first, while Dongyu stayed with Suyu and didn't get on this carriage. Therefore, Shang Chuyun decided to get off the carriage by himself.
Just then, Shang Chuyun saw a hand reach out to her, it was Shen Yuan's hand. She hesitated, after all, although they had been betrothed by the emperor, the imperial edict had not yet been issued, and Shang Chuyun had not truly married him, so for her, he was no different from this stranger, and she could not have such close contact with him.
Shen Yuan did not have as many concerns as Shang Chuyun and Gu Lu. After he caught her hand and saw her safely step on the ground, he let go of her hand.
Shang Chuyun blushed, but she returned to normal after seeing Madam Qin, Shang's old lady.
"Grandmother... Chu Yun greets grandmother." Chu Yun was quite excited when she saw her grandmother Qin Shi. Qin Shi is Chu Yun's biological grandmother. In the previous life, after Chu Yun's parents and siblings passed away, Qin Shi was forced by the Wen family to go to the Lin'an Temple and didn't return for several years, until Chu Yun's wedding day she came back.
"Chuyun, you're finally back... Oh, and these two little monkeys too." Shangyunyi, Shangruoyun had just gone through the incident with Chumu, so they had been cautious and fearful along the way. When they saw their grandmother ahead, they finally felt relieved and happily ran towards the Qin family.
"Grandmother, grandmother, you wouldn't believe it, but just now sister was...," Shang Ruoyun embraced Qin Shi, intending to blurt out what Chu Mu had done to Shang Chuyun just now, but was stopped by a passing glance from Shang Chuyun.
"What's going on here?" Shang Ruoyun dared not speak again, and Qin Shi looked at Shang Yunyi, thinking that these twin children might be trying to deceive her, but the other one would also reveal their true intentions, right?
"Sister is getting married, do you know, Grandma?" Shang Yun finally realized what her brother Shang Chuyun looked like. So, she purposely mentioned the fact that Shang Chuyun was going to marry into the Duke of Shen's residence, in order to cover up the unfinished words of Shang Ruoyun.
Qin nodded slightly. How could she not know that the matter of Shen Yuan seeking to marry Shang Chuyun before the imperial court has become a widely spread story throughout the capital? They also say that Shang Chuyun has married an extraordinary husband and that the Shang family's fortunes are about to prosper.
Is this the young master Shen of the Shen Duke's Mansion?" Qin Shi knew about the noble and influential people in the capital city, especially the Shen Duke's Mansion. She had seen Shen Yuan before, but at that time he was not yet of marriageable age. But now he is at the age to get married.
沈渊见这满头银丝，却仍然精神抖擞的老妇人看向了他，便是与对方见礼，“沈渊见过尚老夫人...”
秦氏没有问这沈渊为何会和自家孙女一同前来，只打量了沈渊一番，很是满意之后便转向尚初云，“如今你们回来也好，你母亲的身子一向不好，京城的大夫总比那些乡野大夫医术要高明些。”
Qin Shi is still very kind to Ruan Shi, Shang Chuyun can also feel it, nodded and praised, "Grandmother is right, my mother also misses grandmother very much, and has instructed me to greet grandmother carefully on the way."
Qin nodded gently and said, "Alright, let's go back now."
Shang Chu Yun supported Qin on one side, while on the other side, Qin's maid, Liu Mama, assisted her. As they passed by the servants of Su Yu and Dong Yu, everyone bowed to Qin. Qin glanced at Su Yun's hands tied up and remained silent, only getting on the carriage with the help of Shang Chu Yun and Liu Mama.
Shen Yuan no longer rides in a carriage, he only rides a horse to lead the way. Qin Shi and Shangchu sit inside the carriage, both like monkeys, waiting for the carriage to travel a distance before Qin Shi starts asking questions.
"Chuyun, don't you have anything to say to your grandmother?" Qin Shi just saw that Sunyun was tied up, but because Shen Yuan was here just now, she didn't immediately ask.
"Grandmother, please listen to Chuyun slowly explain this matter..." Shang Chuyun knew that Qin Shi was shrewd and couldn't hide anything from her, so she decided to simply tell her the truth.
