Volume 1, Chapter 65: Women Reading

Suyu was pulled away from the Wen family by the maids.
Wen family looked down on Suyu from above. Wen family initially wanted to directly kill Suyu, but now Qin family ordered them to handle it, so Wen family couldn't just kill him and be done with it.
This is forcing her! Shang Chunyun is quite formidable!
"You wicked and vicious servant, daring to frame our master. If I were to kill you today, it would not be unjust." Wen Shi sat down and slowly said, pinching her fingertips.
"Madam Er, you cannot ignore me, Madam Er..." Su Yu felt that she might have no way out when she saw Shen Yuan coming to save Shang Chuyun. But now, after being brought back to the Shang Mansion and questioned by Lady Wen, she felt that this might be her last chance and wanted to seize it tightly.
"If... If Madam Er doesn't take care of me, I will report everything to Old Madam and say that you instructed me to do it!" Su Yu thought that blackmail would be effective, as Wen Shi had not spoken up to save her.
Wenshi originally intended to send someone to sell this jade, but now, upon hearing that this woman even dares to blackmail her, she said to Cuiyu, "Send her to Mrs. Cui's place."
Truiepozi is well-known in the capital city as a sharp-witted woman who specializes in doing business in the flower streets and willow lanes. Therefore, when Su Yu heard that she was being sent to Truiepozi, she immediately struggled desperately.
Cuiyu had the maids tie up the plain jade and gag her with a piece of cloth to prevent her from shouting or making a fuss.
It was not uncommon for a maid to be sold to various mansions, so when Qinshi heard from Liuma that Su Yu had been sold overnight, she just nodded and dismissed it.
"All the maids beside Chu Yun were brought from the old mansion, but Su Yu was originally from the Ruan family, yet still developed a wandering heart..."
"You go and pick some people to go to Chu Yun's side, and also Ruoyun too, pick a few people to go over there." Currently, the only one beside Shang Chu Yun is Dong Yu, who has been with her since she was young, and Shang Ruoyun also only has a maid following her, so Qin Shi decided to select a few trustworthy people from her to go over there as well."
"Yes, Madam," Granny Liu nodded and went to prepare a few maidservants to send to the main room.
Not long after, Granny Liu came back and said, "Madam, the young ladies from each room are waiting outside to pay their respects to you."
When Qin Shi is not present, there is no need for the departments of Shang Mansion to come and pay their respects. However, since Qin Shi has returned, it is necessary to restore this rule. "Then let them in."
Miss Ge and Miss Xia entered gracefully, and said in unison, "Granddaughter greets grandmother." Then they sat down in order, with their maids standing on their side.
"I just got back, you don't have to come to greet me right away, especially since it's late in the day. It's better for everyone to get some more rest," said Qin Shi considerately, knowing that the children tend to be lazy.
"Giving regards to grandmother is something that granddaughters should do," Shang Ruyun has always been the leader of the Shang Mansion ladies, so she is used to speaking first. However, she forgot that this is the situation when Shang Chuyun is not present.
Qin nodded with a smile. She didn't have a particular favorite granddaughter, but she asked Shang Chuyun first because she had encountered something yesterday. "You came back yesterday and I noticed that you seemed a bit cold. Are you feeling better today?"
"Shang Chuyun replied softly, 'I'm much better now, thank you for your concern, grandmother.'"
"Shang Ruyun was already unhappy that Shang Chuyun came back safely yesterday, and now seeing that Qins are showing concern for the other party, she felt even more dissatisfied. But even so, in front of Qin, Shang Ruyun had to follow Wen's words and show a deep sisterly affection. 'Sister, you caught a cold? Why didn't you tell my mother? She could have called a doctor for you.'"
"I'm fine, thank you, Sister Ruyun." Shang Chuyun intentionally showed signs of discomfort, because by doing so, Qin Shi would definitely be on her side in the matter of Su Yu.
"It's good that my sister is fine," Shang Ruyun secretly thought to herself. If it wasn't for the sake of the Qin family, she wouldn't have had to do this. That's what she thought deep down, but on the surface, she sat there with a smile on her face.
Qin Shi glanced at Shang Ruoyun again, "Although Ruoyun is still young, she also needs to establish rules. She can't just play all day long. She also needs to study with the sisters in the clan."
Shangruoyun is still not used to the rules of the Shang Mansion in Beijing, unlike the old house where she could romp and frolic freely. She pouted and said, "Grandmother, Yunyi and I have also studied at the private school in the old house for a while..."
秦氏一看尚若云这委屈的样子，便知她不情愿，也就问道，“若云，你可告诉祖母，女子为何要读书？”
“去私塾那会儿，云意哥哥本不想去的，要我陪着才愿去，且大姐姐又说，读书是为明理，所以若云才觉得可以去看看。”尚若云如实说道。
Qin Shi glanced at Shang Chuyun with appreciation, and then looked at everyone and said, "If you were not daughters of the royal family, perhaps you would not need to study and learn. But since you were born into the royal family, you need to understand that men study for the imperial examination, while women study to learn virtue for the future purpose of being good wives and mothers, and managing the household."
Shang Chu Yun and others nodded appreciatively.
Then, Qin Shi spoke with great emphasis, "Once you get married in the future, you will realize that the teachings in this book can be applied to managing a household."
"Yes," the crowd nodded in response.
"Speaking of getting married, besides Chuyun, Ruyun and Xiuyun are also at the age to get married. It seems that I am really getting old." The granddaughters have reached the age to get married, and Qin Shi felt the passage of time in her heart.
Shang Xiuyun was born to Lin Shi, the concubine of Shang Shi. So she was always suppressed by Shang Ruyun. Fortunately, this concubine Lin Shi is quite favored, so Shang Xiuyun's food, clothing, and expenses are already quite good. Although she is a bit timid, her little mouth is just like Lin Shi's, always speaking kind words.
"Xiu Yun thought that her grandmother was healthy and looked even better than before."
"Qin Shi laughed and said, 'Alright, I hope to see all of you married one by one.'"
So everyone laughed and the atmosphere was harmonious, but Shang Shi came in.
He gasped for breath and said urgently, "Mother, the imperial edict that you said was coming in the future, it's already at our doorstep."
Qinshi was overjoyed and couldn't wait for Liu Mama to help her up. She propped herself up with a crutch and stood up. "Let's hurry up and welcome the imperial decree."
Shang Shi supported Qinshi and hurriedly walked ahead, while Shang Ruyun blocked Shang Chuyun at this moment. "Sister, did you get what you wanted!"
Shang Chunyun smiled and said, "I hope my younger sister will marry a suitable husband soon." After she finished speaking, she walked past Shang Ruyun, with Dongyu by her side.
Shang Ruyun was furious. Zhuyu carefully approached and said, "Miss, shall we still go..."
"Go, of course go!" Shang Yuyan shouted.
