Leaving the Su mansion and returning to the Grand Preceptor's mansion, Wei Changying thought Madam Su must be tired today, so she wouldn't mention that she wanted to visit her eldest aunt Wei Shengxian to her until tomorrow. Although Madam Su looked tired and her daughters-in-law accompanied her to the backroom, she didn't ask them to leave immediately to have a rest but said, " Yi'er, you make a list of things in the bride price. Compare them with the ones you got before. If you can't remember them very well, go to the bursary and find them."

Three daughters-in-law heard it suddenly and all became surprised because the fourth young master, Shen Canghui, had just married Mrs. Pei, so mentioning the bride price meant that it should be talking about the fifth young master, Shen Cangji, who was Madam Su's favorite son.

But they had never heard anything about Shen Cangji looking for a wife.

There was one meeting last year. That was with Wei Lingyue. However, Wei Changying was married into this family, and everyone knew that people from Ruiyu Hall and those from Zhiben Hall couldn't get along well with each other. In the birthday banquet of Princess Linchuan, Wei Changying bullied Wei Lingyue's cousin, Wei Lingzi, before meeting the Empress. The mother of Wei Lingyue, Zhang Shaoqiu, complained about it to Madam Su. Madam Su seemingly promised her to punish Wei Changying but knew that her third daughter-in-law really didn't get along well with the ladies from Zhiben Hall.

They hadn't become sisters-in-law, but Wei Changying had already bullied the lady a lot. She pinched their Miss but complained that their Miss bullied her. If Shen Cangji married Wei Lingyue, there would always be a fight between the third and fifth daughters-in-law every day. Marriages that would destroy the harmony between the children and grandchildren of Shen Xuan and Shen Zhou would never be allowed.

Except for Wei Lingyue, Mrs. Liu couldn't come up with another lady that Madam Su had chosen for Shen Cangji. She heard what Madam Su had said, asking immediately, "Mother, you have chosen the fifth sister-in-law for us? Then we should congratulate the fifth brother later. I wonder who this young lady is?"

Madam Su said, "It's your fourth cousin."

"Yuyin?" The daughters-in-law were startled. Mrs. Liu asked, "The fourth cousin? We will be twice related. Nothing could be better than that. My first cousin and second cousin are both engaged but as there is something wrong in the family of my first cousin's fiance, they won't be married until the second half of the year, so my second cousin's marriage will have to be postponed as well. It seems that my third cousin hasn't been engaged?"

The Third Miss of the Su Family, Su Yufei, is the sister of the Fourth Miss Su Yuyin. Usually, the elder one should get married first, and then it should be the younger one's turn. Madam Su had chosen Su Yuyin so Su Yufei had also been engaged?

"A man has also been chosen for your third cousin." Madam Su nodded and looked at Mrs. Duanmu and Wei Changying, saying, "You have also seen or heard of him. He is Duanmu Wuyou from the Duanmu Family. Duanmu Wuyou will be twenty at the end of the year, and the Duanmu family will pay the bride price this month. We should do our preparation too. I have checked with your maternal grandmother and there will be a few good days later this month. Once the Duanmu family pays the bride price, people in our family should be there too. Do you understand?"

There weren't many children in the Su Family. Old Madam Deng was very gentle and pampered the Third Miss Yufei and the Fourth Miss Yuyin up steadily. She allowed them to do weird makeup and has as much fun as they could. She tried to stop them misbehaving but she wasn't so strict. But now she was in a hurry to find husbands for them and found two men for both of them in one go. People knew she was worried that since the Eleventh Prince knew Shen Cangning deceived him, he would ask His Majesty's permission to marry Su Yufei again.

She thought that since the Eleventh Prince was interested in Su Yufei, who liked dressing up in colorful clothes and do Bloody Tear Makeup. It was possible that Su Yuyin, who was similar to her sister, would also attract the prince. Therefore, she had found husbands for both of her daughters so people in the Su Family didn't have to worry.

Wei Changying had heard that Su Yufei was engaged to Duanmu Wuyou, but only after thinking about it did she remember that Duanmu Wuyou was one of the four standby guards who had been to Qingzhou last year to pick up Lady Zhong's relatives. She had never seen Duanmu Wuyou, but she had heard Wei Changfeng mention him. Duanmu Wuyou looked calm, but he was bad-tempered. Once, standby guards had an argument with the guards of the Wei Family, Duanmu Wuyou was there and was the most furious. When he saw Wei Changfeng, he even asked Wei Changfeng to punish his guards heavily to vent his anger. But Wei Changfeng just tuned him out.

Perhaps Wei Changfeng didn't like Duanmu Wuyou, so his description was a bit biased, but this also meant that Duanmu Wuyou might look calm and weak, but his personality showed the opposite. Her cousin, Su Yufei's personality was like Shen Cangning. She was proud and capricious but not bad-tempered. However, she was still far away from being gentle. They were from a similar background, and both had a powerful family. It might be difficult for them to live together in the future.

She then thought of Su Yuli's fiance, Gu Naizheng. Gu Naizheng was an oddball among all the people from aristocratic families. People would frown when they met him. Also, Duanmu Wuyou was an irritable person. Wei Changying felt worried about her two cousins. Su Yuli and Su Yufei were cousins, so they would meet each other very often, and so would their husbands.

Even Wei Changfeng, who Wei Changying thought was easy-going, thought if bad-tempered Duanmu Wuyou met Gu Naizheng, there would be... She really felt worried about Su Yuli and Su Yufei, hoping that their husbands would not destroy their relationship.

While she was thinking, Mrs. Liu, who had been managing the household for many years and seen many marriages, had already listed many items without thinking too much or having to keep people waiting. Even the sizes and the materials were described in detail. Madam Su was very satisfied, praising her, "You are so reliable."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law then started their discussion. Mrs. Liu knew that Madam Su favored her young son, Shen Cangji, and now Shen Cangji was going to marry Madam Su's niece, so they would only choose terrific stuff. Mrs. Duanmu and Wei Changying didn't know everything that Mrs. Liu had mentioned, but if it sounded right, they also agreed to put it in.

Madam Su was glad to see her daughters-in-law weren't jealous even when the bride price the fifth daughter-in-law might get exceeded the ones they had got. Still, she knew she wouldn't allow that, so she took some of what Mrs. Liu had mentioned out or just chose a less good one to meet the standard of how the Shen Family paid the bride price.

Not until the candles were lit, the list was made. Madam Su said, "It's getting late. You must have things to do. Go back now and leave the list with me. I'll take a look at it again this evening."

Mrs. Liu smiled, "So her second aunt will give her, my fourth cousin, to the fifth brother, which won't only benefit him. Who else is like you, mother, being so considerate of your daughter-in-law? You asked me to do things but can't stop keeping taking care of everything. Mother does the job and daughter-in-law getting the praise."

"Are you blaming me for taking your job away?" Madam Su was tired but very happy. She was happy that her niece, Su Yuyin, would be her fifth daughter-in-law. After all, Shen Cangji was not like Shen Cangfeng, who was expected to be the next Family Head. Shen Cangfeng's wife should be from a good family, understand how to deal with different situations and almost be good at everything. She should be able to keep things under control as well as make her husband happy. If she wasn't able to support Shen Cangfeng, Shen Cangfeng had to be busy with everything.

This was also why Madam Su had wanted to cancel the marriage when Wei Changying's reputation had been ruined.

It was different for Shen Cangji. He was the youngest son and wouldn't become the next Family Head, so his wife wouldn't have to bear so much stress. Madam Su wouldn't ask the fifth daughter-in-law to do much. As long as she was from a similar family, she could get along with her husband's family well and Shen Cangji liked her, that would be it.

Although Su Yuyin liked messing around with her sister, Su Yufei, wearing messy makeup and was too active to be a virtuous daughter-in-law, Madam Su could tolerate that. She knew that Shen Cangji was only sixteen and Su Yuyin was even younger than him. They were not asked to get married now. She just wanted the engagement and then hoped the two children could learn gradually as they grew up.

The marriage was proposed by Su Pingzhan himself, which meant that Madam Su had successfully explained that neither she nor her husband's family had driven wedges between the brothers in the Su Family and interfered with the selection of the next Family Head in The Su Family.

Madam Su had been worried that her father would suspect that the Shen Family had manipulated the selection of the next Family Head in the Su family, but now she and her father talked it over. Her father also took the initiative to propose the marriage. Although Su Pingzhan still disapproved of her daughter marrying into the third branch and was only willing to allow the concubine's son from the second branch to marry her daughter. It showed that Su Pingzhan no longer suspected her daughter of helping the Shen Family to plot against her parents' family.

When it was all clear, Madam Su was totally relieved. She had grandchildren, and the Shen Family was prosperous. There was no need to offend her parents' family for the sake of planning the future for her youngest daughter. After all, Shen Cangning didn't have to marry Su Yuwu. Since Su Pingzhan didn't approve, Shen Cangning was still young. She could take the time to choose the right one. There were so many famous families in the world, as a lineal daughter of a top family, the Shen Family. It was easier for her to get married than the emperor's daughter!

So Madam Su was very relaxed, joking with her daughters-in-law, "You are blaming me for stealing your job?"

Mrs. Liu smiled, "If mother steals my jobs like this, I wish it will be like this every time."

Mrs. Duanmu and Wei Changying said, "Mother, you aren't stealing jobs from us. We know you love your daughters-in-law!"

“You wish. I'm busy with everything and you laze around. How could this work?" Madam Su smiled, pointing at Mrs. Liu, "I know you are capable and I know there won't be any problem if you do the list. But this time, we will pay the bride price around the time when the Duanmu Family pays theirs and that will be the two sisters who receive them. We should discuss it with the Duanmu Family. If you love Cangji and Yuyin so much and pay a higher bride price than the Duanmu Family's, that won't be good."

Mrs. Liu said, "Mother, you said that it wouldn't be a problem for me to make the list. If you hadn't said this, I was really going to do that for the fifth brother and the fourth cousin but forgot that the Duanmu Family should pay the bride price to the third cousin first. If I really paid a much higher bride price for the fifth brother than what the Duanmu Family had paid to the third cousin, making my two cousins unhappy, I would mess everything up."

Mrs. Duanmu and Wei Changying added, "Mother, you are thorough and careful. Our first sister-in-law is also capable. While listening to you, we have learned a lot."

Her daughters-in-law were so sweet, Madam Su was very pleased, saying, "Anyway, leave the list with me here. Tomorrow I send someone to the Duanmu Family to ask about their plan, then make a copy of their list and compare theirs with ours." And then she asked them to go back to their rooms.
