Hearing Su Qingyu ask about Su Chengyan's injuries, Haishi replied: "Your second uncle was indeed seriously injured. When he came back, the back of his head was covered in blood."

Su Qingyu sneered in her heart, was she really hurt? But Li Yunzhou said that he did not hit anyone, but just pushed him.

"What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor has stopped the bleeding, but your uncle is still unconscious. He said it would be best to ask for an imperial physician. Today, the second young lady is attending a flower party at the Prince of Shan's mansion. I heard that the Crown Prince is also there. Someone has been sent to the Prince of Shan's mansion to ask the second young lady for advice."

After listening to Haishi's words, Su Qingyu's expression was intriguing. Shanjun Prince's Mansion? The one who beat him was the young master of Shanjun Prince's Mansion, and the matter would probably be settled in the end.

Even if it was really Li Yunzhou who beat him, the Su family should not dare to go to the Li family to seek justice. After all, the entire capital knew that Princess Yongjia regarded this concubine of the Li family as her own.

But what Su Qingyu didn't expect was that this incident would lead to many changes that she didn't expect.

At this time, in the palace of Prince Shanjun, the prince was talking about poetry and painting with several young men from well-known aristocratic families. Su Xiangling was admired by a group of noble ladies and talked about interesting things in her boudoir. Li Chaoyun is here today, entertaining these ladies for his mother.

The young lady from the Qiu family glanced at the prince and said jokingly to Su Xiangling: "Sister Su is the truly blessed person. The prince really cares about you."

The words were said with a bit of sourness and uncontrollable envy.

There was a hint of arrogance in Su Xiangling's eyes, but she spoke modestly, "Sisters, please stop joking. The prince and I are not what you think."

The young ladies surrounding her secretly scolded Su Xiangling for being coquettish, and said their compliments as if they were asking for money. She was afraid that one day Su Xiangling would ascend to a high position and forget that they had been friends.

While several people were talking enthusiastically, a maid came in and complained next to Li Chaoyun.

"Princess, a little girl came to the door of the palace. She said she was a maid from the Su family and she wanted to see the second young lady of the Su family for something important."

Su Xiangling was a little surprised. Why did her family come to her at this time?

Could it be that something happened at home?

She quickly stood up and said, "Princess, I'm going out to take a look."

Li Chaoyun saw this and followed him, "I'll go with Miss Su Er."

After all, she was in the Li family, and she always had to take good care of people. Although he looked down upon Su Xiangling's background, she was the person that the prince's cousin liked after all, so she still had to be praised a little.

When the two of them walked towards the outer courtyard, they met Li Yunzhou who had just returned home.

Li Chaoyun's eyes were cold, but there was a smile on his face.

"Fourth brother is back? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the other young masters are all at the Qingliang Terrace. Fourth brother, please go over there quickly."

Something happened in the Li family's village today. It would have been fine for the steward to handle it, but Princess Yongjia ordered Li Yunzhou to go there in person.

To put it nicely, it was to train him. In fact, I just don't want him to attend the flower party and use him as his boss.

Li Yunzhou looked a little calm, "I just came back from the farm, and I smell like sweat, so I won't disturb the prince's driving."

It was obvious that Li Chaoyun wanted to hear what he said, but every time he saw his calm expression, Li Chaoyun felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

"In that case, Fourth Brother should go back and rest first."

After the perfunctory greetings, Li Chaoyun took Su Xiangling to the flower hall in the outer courtyard where guests were entertained.

The person who came was Zi Luo, the maid next to Su Xiangling. She kept talking when she saw Su Xiangling.

"Second young lady, something happened in the house, and the second master was beaten."

Su Xiangling was shocked, "Why was he beaten? Is it serious?"

Zi Luo replied: "When I was carried back to the house, there was blood on the back of my head, and it was bleeding everywhere."

"The bleeding has stopped now, but the person is still unconscious. The doctor said it would be best to ask an imperial physician to take a look."

Now in the entire Su family, the only one who can hire an imperial physician is Su Xiangling, besides Su Qingyu.

Su Xiangling was just happy because she was favored by the prince, thinking that she would soon be the master of the capital. But she didn't expect that her own father would be beaten in a blink of an eye, how could she bear it.

"Who did it? Has the thief been caught?"

Zi Luo glanced at Li Chaoyun and hesitated. She didn't recognize this person, but she could guess that he was from Prince Shanjun's palace.

But he couldn't keep silent, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "The one who beat him up was the fourth young master of the Shanjunwang Mansion."

After Zi Luo finished speaking, Su Xiangling froze in place. She had heard that the fourth young master of the Li family was favored by Princess Yongjia, so wouldn't her father be beaten for nothing?

For a moment, Su Xiangling didn't know what to say. Whether to ask the Li family for an explanation, or to say something generously is all a misunderstanding.

Li Chaoyun on the side was also stunned. He didn't expect that this matter would involve Li Yunzhou.

She asked, "Why did my fourth brother beat the second master of the Su family?"

Zi Luo thought for a moment and said, "This servant doesn't know very well. I just heard a few words from the officers and soldiers who sent the second master back."

"They said that when the second master was guarding the city gate, he met the eldest lady, who reconciled with the eldest master."

"The Second Master was checking the First Madam's goods, but the First Madam refused, so there was a dispute. It happened that the Fourth Young Master Li passed by, so he stood up for the First Madam and pushed the Second Master away."

When Su Xiangling heard this, she also became angry.

"My father was beaten even though he was doing a routine thing. Is there any royal law?"

After saying that, he was surprised to find that Li Chaoyun was still there.

When Li Chaoyun heard that Li Yunzhou was standing up for Su Qingyu's mother, he was already angry. Looking at Su Xiangling's expression again, I suddenly had an idea in my mind.

She called Su Xiangling to her side and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Second Miss, I have an idea. It can not only seek justice for your father, but also allow you to gain a firm foothold next to the prince's cousin."

Su Xiangling was a little surprised. Shouldn't Li Chaoyun defend his brother?

Seeing her doubts, Li Chaoyun explained: "Actually, this concubine brother and I are not as good as you see, but it's just because of my mother's kindness."

Su Xiangling was not surprised at all by Li Chaoyun's words. A wealthy family is not what it seems on the surface.

She didn't care about their brother and sister's relationship, she just wanted to know what Li Chaoyun had in mind.

"Don't worry, Princess. Whatever the Princess says to me today, I won't tell anyone."

"Please let the princess know clearly."
