The prince's name was not something they could mention.

Is Su Xiangling crazy? How can I still know the prince's birthday and horoscope? Shouldn’t these be kept secret?

And that Taoist hexagram, Phoenix returning north?

Su Xiangling returned to the capital from Qianzhou, really returning to the north. After the hexagram, he also engraved the character of the prince himself. Su Xiangling was rushing to the throne.

She didn't stay any longer and planned to go back to the Shen family directly. There were some things that she had to ask Wen Zhu to check.

Before leaving the house, he unexpectedly met two concubines of his father Su Chengye.

When the two heard that the person in front of them was the married young lady, they stepped forward and bowed.

She had heard about Su Chengye taking concubines before. Both of them were daughters of merchants. One is Aunt Liu and the other is Aunt Zeng. They are both sixteen or seventeen years old.

"I'm Mrs. Liu, please greet the eldest lady."

Aunt Liu is just like her surname, weak Liu Fufeng, charming and charming. He also spoke in a soft voice and his tone was very respectful.

"I am Mrs. Zeng, please greet my eldest lady."

There was a bit of heroism in Aunt Zeng's eyebrows. When she looked at Su Qingyu, she looked up and down several times. It was obvious from her eyes that she was not a peaceful person.

But Su Chengye's concubine was not worthy of her attention. Su Qingyu just said lightly, crossed the two of them and left.

Pearl said in a low voice: "Madam, I just went to see some sisters in the house who I have been friends with in the past. I heard that since the two aunts came into the house, they almost vomited from the prescription for pregnancy. The old lady is getting worse every day. People stare and get very anxious.”

Su Qingyu sneered. If good news really came out one day, it would be really exciting.

Then he turned to Pearl and asked, "Your sister-in-law's sister is serving in Yixia Courtyard, right? I'll give you twenty taels of silver, and you can go and get together with her."

"If anything happens to Yixia Courtyard in the future, it would be best if you could get back to me in time."

Pearl took the silver and turned around.

In the main room of Yixia Courtyard, Su Xiangling changed her clothes and walked in. The old lady had gone back to rest, and only He was left in the room, taking care of her by the bed.

"How is father? But he drank medicine again."

Seeing Su Xiangling come in, Mr. He seemed to have a backbone.

"Drink the medicine. The doctor has just changed the medicine for trauma."

Su Xiangling stepped forward to check on Su Chengyan's injuries and said, "This fourth young master of the Li family is too cruel. We must not let him go..."

Su Chengyan wanted to shake his head, but he was worried about his injury.

"He didn't hit me, he just pushed me. I tripped over someone else and hit the weapon beside the city wall."

Su Xiangling's anger continued, "It was also because of him. We must seek justice for this matter."

Su Chengyan and his wife were a little hesitant. Should they go to the Li family to seek justice? Even if they are reasonable, they don't see enough.

What's more, Li Yunzhou didn't hit anyone. In the end, it was an accidental injury and he wouldn't be severely punished.

"Xiangling, I think this matter is over. The Ministry of War has just issued a transfer order. Starting tomorrow, I will be the commander of the Imperial Guards."

"At this time, we'd better keep a low profile and don't offend the Li family."

Finally, he no longer had to guard the city gate, and Su Chengyan didn't want to cause any setbacks.

Then he said: "I'm going to apologize to Lin Wanyin. Why did you just agree?"

Su Chengyan had always claimed to be from a noble family, and looked down upon Lin Wanyin's status as a businessman. Asking him to apologize to Lin Wanyin was more uncomfortable than killing him.

Su Xiangling sat on the bedside and said, "I have already made up my mind about this matter. Not only Li Yunzhou, but also Su Qingyu and her mother, don't think they will have an easy time."

"As for apologizing, my daughter can just say whatever she wants. Hum, I'm afraid that the divorced woman won't live long enough for her father to apologize. Otherwise, how could I let my father agree?"

Su Chengyan and He didn't understand what they heard, and looked at Su Xiangling in confusion.

Su Xiangling looked around and saw that no one was around, so she whispered, "Princess Chaoyun said... tomorrow morning..."

Su Chengyan hesitated slightly, "Then do you know what Princess Chaoyun said? Is there any problem here?"

"Also, will the Li family be unhappy if they find out? I heard that Princess Yongjia has always liked this bastard."

Su Xiangling explained: "Father, don't worry. Princess Chaoyun said that although Princess Yongjia is kind to the concubine, she is not someone who doesn't know right from wrong."

"As for what Princess Chaoyun will do, we'd better not ask any more questions. Now that the matter is done, does father think the Lin family can still be arrogant? Even Su Qingyu can no longer be so arrogant."

Su Chengyan thought about it carefully again. "Okay, father, I will do as you say."

"This time Lin Wanyin and her daughter will have to shed their skin even if they don't die."

"If we help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deal with the fourth young master of the Li family, it will be easier for you to enter the East Palace."

The more Su Chengyan sees this daughter, the more satisfied he becomes. When he first came to Beijing from Qianzhou, Su Xiangling seemed out of place among the ladies in the capital.

It had only been a short time since she had become friends with the noble ladies of the capital. She had also won the favor of the virtuous concubine and the crown prince, so it was only a matter of time before she rose to prominence.

He took Su Xiangling's hand and said, "That old Taoist priest is indeed quite capable. I will thank you very much next time we meet him."

Su Chengyan's eyebrows suddenly flashed slightly, and there was a flash of panic.

"Don't mention that Taoist priest again in the future. Both of you, mother and daughter, remember it. You can't talk about it to anyone."

He didn't see anything strange about Su Chengyan, she just thought he was being cautious and nodded solemnly.

While the three of them were talking, Su Yuanqing, the second son of the second wife and the second young master of the Su family, walked in.

"Why is mother so anxious to call me back? I am drinking with some young masters and am in high spirits."

Fifteen-year-old Su Yuanqing staggered in, smelling of alcohol.

Su Xiangling looked at her brother with disdain, "You just go out and have fun all day long. Father is injured, and you have to beg me to come back?"

He quickly interrupted Su Xiangling, "Your brother is so old, he should have a few friends."

Su Xiangling suddenly became angry and said, "Mom, just let him be used to you. If you are so incompetent in culture and martial arts, what will you do in the future?"

Mr. He smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Isn't your brother still young? It will be better when he grows up. Your uncle only has a son, and he is still alive and dead. In my opinion, in the future, the title of the Marquis Mansion may be It’s also my son’s.”

"Besides, there is your sister. You can win over the prince by fighting for your words. Your brother is the prince's brother-in-law. With the prince's support, what will he have to worry about for the rest of his life?"

He said this frequently these days, but Su Xiangling became more and more depressed as she listened.

He stood up and said, "If my father has nothing to do, I will go back first."

When he passed Su Yuanqing, he gave him a fierce look.

Su Yuanqing was dissatisfied, "Sister, you really look down on people. From now on, you will have to rely on me to support you at your parents' house."

Su Xiangling wanted to give him a slap, but her parents would not allow her to touch her brother.

After leaving the main room, Su Xiangling let out a sigh of relief. She has to rely on herself to find a beautiful road.

In the carriage back home, Su Qingyu was in a bad mood. Shen Zhixiu knew that she was still angry, so he put his arm around her shoulders.

Su Qingyu suddenly said, "Am I useless?"

Shen Zhixiu didn't know why she asked, and guessed that she was subconsciously blaming herself as a daughter because her mother had been making things difficult for her.

He could only comfort her softly, "You've done very well. Second Uncle has promised to apologize. Let's just wait for him to apologize."

He understood what Su Qingyu meant. Su Chengyan was a military commander, and he was rough-skinned and thick-skinned, but he would not be relieved even if he was beaten with a stick. He looked down on the businessman, and asking him to apologize was like hitting him in the face.

Su Qingyu leaned on Shen Zhixiu's shoulder, her thoughts wandering, and she didn't speak for a long time.

When I was a child, my grandmother often said that my mother should have a legitimate son, but she didn't take it seriously at that time. I thought deeply about being filial to my mother from now on, and would do no worse than my son.

But today she suddenly realized that there was a huge difference. If a mother has a son, she has someone to rely on. If the son succeeds and is granted the title of marquis or prime minister, the mother will also be granted a title and receive a salary from the court.

But what about her? Besides marrying well, what else can you do? Even if he goes to the Su family to settle accounts, he will ultimately rely on Shen Zhixiu's power.

Su Qingyu suddenly felt sad, not for herself. But for the countless women like her who are restricted from even fulfilling their filial piety.

She only felt depressed for a moment and then returned to normal. She didn't say these words to Shen Zhixiu, and she felt a bit pretentious.

After returning to Shen's house, Shen Zhixiu changed into regular clothes and went to the study room, while Su Qingyu let Jade wait for her to change.

"Madam, aren't you afraid that the second young lady is perfunctory? According to the slave, you should have escorted the second master to apologize just now."
