When Su Qingyu heard Li Chaoyun ask this, her heart moved. She said she had caught wind and cold in the morning, and she brought Princess Rongjun here after the accident, and now she asked about Shen Yue.
Could there be something about Li Chaoyun in this?
She said casually, "I didn't see Shen Yue when I came here." Then she turned to look at Rong Huai, "Has she been here this morning?"
Rong Huai noticed Su Qingyu's warning gaze and said, "Third aunt did come this morning, but she left after not sitting for a while."
Li Chaoyun became even more suspicious as to what happened.
While several people were talking, they heard Princess Rongjun scolding again.
"My good daughter-in-law returned to her parents' home, but she had a miscarriage and died. You, the Shen family, must give us an explanation."
"If I don't explain this matter clearly today, I will go and beat the drum tomorrow."
Su Qingyu said meaningfully to Rong Huai: "Prince Rong had better persuade the princess. If this matter breaks out, both our families will be embarrassed."
Rong Huai hurriedly walked to Princess Rongjun and said, "Concubine, we should discuss the funeral first."
Shen Zhiheng endured his grief and said, "Let's go to the side hall of the outer courtyard to talk."
Everyone filed out, and before Su Qingyu left, she ordered Jiang Qi to take his subordinates to guard Lanyuan.
At this time, in a secluded wing behind Lanyuan, Shen Yue was huddled on a mahogany Taishi chair, holding a cup of warm ginseng tea in her hand and sipping it with her head down.
Li Yunzhou sat opposite her. When she finished drinking the ginseng tea in her hand, he took it and carefully placed it on the high table aside.
Shen Yue lowered her eyelashes and said nothing since she came in. In his mind was the life-and-death struggle with Rong Huai, and the scene when Shen Wu died.
She only found out a few days ago that her biological mother was plotted to death by her aunt. In the past few days, Japan has been restless because of this incident, and another nasty thing happened to him.
Li Yunzhou struggled for a long time before asking softly, "Are you scared?"
Afraid that she would be worried about the negative impact of this incident, she spoke to comfort her, "Don't worry, I won't let Crown Prince Rong talk nonsense about what happened today. Master Wife asked us to leave, just because she doesn't want you and me to be involved in it."
Shen Yue shook her head, "I'm not afraid."
"I just don't understand... why did they want to harm my aunt? It doesn't matter if they harmed my aunt, but now they want to harm me."
"I know they are bad people and deserve to die. But when Shen Wu died in front of me, I still asked myself over and over again, did she die because of me?"
"And Shen Ying from before..."
Shen Yue spoke in a hollow tone with no emotion. It seemed like he was telling Li Yunzhou, but also like he was telling himself.
A layer of mist appeared in Li Yunzhou's eyes, and he reached out and rubbed Shen Yue's already messy hair.
"Some people are just bad and will do anything to achieve their goals."
"This is not your fault. If you didn't hide at that time, you would have died. Shen Wu will not blame himself because you died."
Li Yunzhou spoke softly and in a coaxing tone.
He knew that Shen Yue was frightened. A living person died in front of her eyes. Shen Yue had never experienced such a scene.
Shen Yue's suppressed emotions seemed to have suddenly found an outlet, and she continued.
"When I was little, I always thought that the eldest lady was my biological mother. I thought that Shen Wu and Shen Ying were the same as me."
"But I could tell that she didn't like me very much. I thought it was something I didn't do well, so I tried my best to please her and everyone in the house."
She stretched out her wrist and gently rolled up her sleeves. There was a scar as big as a thumb on her wrist.
"The eldest lady was sick. When I saw that my servants had prepared the medicine, I rushed to bring it to her. She took a sip and said it was too hot, and threw it on me again."
"I blamed myself so much at the time. I just hated myself for being useless and not knowing how to show off to her."
"Later, mother and daughter became more serious, and my grandmother also took me to her side."
"It wasn't until I was older that I realized that I was not her biological child. When I found out, I was relieved."
Speaking of this, she laughed at herself, "Fortunately, my grandmother and third uncle protected me later, otherwise..."
Shen Yue was smiling, but then she suddenly covered her face and started crying.
His whole body huddled up on the mahogany Taishi chair, and all he could hear was the sound of suppressed crying.
Li Yunzhou stood up, walked to his side, put his arms around her head, and let her lean against him.
"Don't cry. It's all over. No one can bully you in the future."
Speaking of this, Li Yunzhou remembered the scene where he broke into the house today, Rong Huai pressed down on Shen Yue, and Shen Yue held the porcelain piece in her hand with a determined look on her face.
The murderous intent in his eyes flashed past, and turned into tenderness amidst Shen Yue's cries.
Shen Yue leaned against Li Yunzhou unconsciously, crying even harder than before.
Li Yunzhou felt sorry for her grievances and understood her despair where she had nowhere to vent.
He patted her shoulder gently and said, "If anyone bullies you again in the future, just tell me."
He will also avenge today's revenge for her.
Knowing that Shen Yue was still immersed in emotions and unable to get out, Li Yunzhou thought of diverting her attention.
"Actually, I'm just like you. When I was a child, I thought Princess Yongjia was my biological mother."
"My memory when I was a child was confused. I remember how my mother died, but I felt that Princess Yongjia was my mother."
"Do you think it's strange? I still remember the tragic situation when my mother died. But my mother's appearance coincides with that of Princess Yongjia."
After Shen Yue heard Li Yunzhou's words, her crying stopped abruptly. After sobbing hard twice, he raised his head and asked Li Yunzhou, "Did you remember it wrong? The princess is your biological mother?"
Li Yunzhou looked down at Shen Yue's face, crying like a cat, and couldn't help laughing.
He took out a clean blue cotton handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped the stains on Shen Yue's face.
"She is not my biological mother. I did not live in the palace when I was a child. The place I live is very beautiful. There are butterflies in summer and plum blossoms of various colors in winter."
Besides, no mother would beat her own son to death. His father and aunt looked at him as if they were enemies.
He actually didn't understand that since he didn't like him, why would he take him back to the palace?
And whenever Princess Yongjia mentioned that he was not her biological child, his father felt guilty as if he had done something shameful.
But there was one thing he was sure of. His mother's death was inseparable from Princess Yongjia.
He dismissed the messy thoughts in his mind and continued to wipe Shen Yue's face.
At this time, Li Yunzhou was leaning forward, his face as gentle as a scholar's was full of tenderness.
Wiping Shen Yue's face was like wiping some rare treasure.
Shen Yue looked up at him, remembering what they said on the carriage last time. She also thought of the family that her grandmother looked after for her these days.
She suddenly spoke and said in a quiet voice.
"Brother Yunzhou, my family has already started arranging a marriage for me."
