Su Qingyu said it casually, and didn't seem to care whether Princess Yongjia answered or not.

Seeing that Princess Yongjia didn't say anything, Su Qingyu apologized again: "Princess, just pretend I didn't say anything. The fourth young master is a concubine's son and is indeed not suitable to go to the army. I was negligent."

Princess Yongjia laughed twice and said, "The third lady is too worried. To me, there is no difference between a concubine and a direct descendant. It's just that Yunzhou is not like his elder brother. He has always been weak, and he is afraid that he cannot bear the bitter cold at the border."

She said this while thinking about it in her heart. Letting Li Yunzhou go to the army is actually not a big deal.

As long as Li Yunsi is brave and resourceful, even if Li Yunzhou goes there, with his little ability, there won't be any trouble. If he had some ability, he wouldn't have been trained in the Li family for so many years.

Another point is that if Li Yunzhou's identity is exposed one day. She can also have something to say with the emperor.

Thinking of this, Princess Yongjia was a little moved.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Su Qingyu discussing with Shen Zhixiu, "What do you think of the fourth young master Li? If you like him, why not let him concentrate on the imperial examinations, and then you can help him find a position."

When Princess Yongjia heard this, she hurriedly said: "Our family is all military generals, so let him go to the army to practice for a year and a half. With his elder brother taking care of me, I can feel more at ease."

She would rather have Li Yunzhou under Li Yunsi's nose than serve as an official in the court.

Su Qingyu felt relieved when she heard her say that, and said, "In that case, let's wait for the fourth young master to return from the army, and then we can arrange the marriage."

"Third Master, what do you think?"

Shen Zhixiu nodded and said, "That's what Madam said."

Princess Yongjia cursed in her heart, Su Qingyu was ignoring the rabbit and not letting the eagle fly. But at least the two families have made an agreement privately, and the emperor also has an explanation.

After chatting for a while, Princess Yongjia stood up and left. He said that he was going back to discuss with King Shanjun about letting Li Yunzhou go to Northern Xinjiang.

Su Qingyu got up and sent people to the second door.

When Princess Yongjia got on the carriage, Su Qingyu saw Aunt Xue at the entrance of the outer courtyard not far away looking at the Li family's carriage in surprise.

After the Li family's carriage drove away, Su Qingyu walked to Aunt Xue.

"Why are aunties here? Go in and talk."

Su Qingyu's tone was calm. When she thought of her brother's suffering for so many years, she wanted to peel off Aunt Xue's skin.

The mother and child were not touched before because there was still some use in keeping her. But she will never forget what they did.

Now that my brother has been found, Aunt Xue has little use for keeping it.

After entering the hall, Su Qingyu motioned for Aunt Xue to sit down, and she also sat down at the main seat.

The servants in the outer courtyard served tea respectfully and then left.

Aunt Xue looked envious, she was also getting married, and her daughter's marriage was not bad either. But compared with Su Qingyu, her status in her husband's family is completely different.

"Auntie came to Shen's house specially to see me, but what happened?"

Su Qingyu's words interrupted Aunt Xue's thoughts, with a flattering smile on her face, "Miss, I came today to ask for something."

"Auntie, do you want to ask about eldest brother? Then there is no need to speak. Auntie has done something wrong, and she has to pay the price." Su Qingyu said coldly.

Naturally, Aunt Xue would not give up easily, and continued: "The eldest lady doesn't know something. Yesterday, I heard the second lady and the old lady talking, and they wanted to make the second young master the heir apparent of the Hou Mansion."

"I am guilty, but your eldest brother is blood relative to you after all. It is better to give this title to your eldest brother than to fall on the second wife."

If she hadn't heard this, Aunt Xue wouldn't have come to Su Qingyu in such a hurry.

Su Qingyu chuckled softly, "Auntie, have you misunderstood? Now I haven't decided whether the lives of your mother and son can be kept. You tell me about the title?"

"Based on what Su Yuankai has done, I was kind enough to spare him life. You actually want him to be your heir?"

Not to mention finding her brother now, even if she hadn't, she would not let Su Yuankai succeed him.

Aunt Xue was shocked when she saw Su Qingyu's cold expression. She had seen Su Qingyu always look kind and gentle before, so she thought she had forgiven them. But today, she found that Su Qingyu had obvious hatred towards them.

In fact, she came at the wrong time. Su Qingyu had just met Li Yunzhou and was feeling sorry for Li Yunzhou when Aunt Xue, the culprit, bumped into her.

Aunt Xue thought for a while and suddenly said: "Miss, I saw the person who picked up the child back then."

Su Qingyu wanted to send Aunt Xue away, but when she heard what she said, she looked surprised.

"You said you saw that person? Where is he?"

How is that possible? Li Yunzhou clearly said that his mother, who raised him when he was a child, had died. Even the people who served him were gone.

At this time, Aunt Xue said that she saw the person who picked him up, and there was another hidden reason in this matter. Aunt Xue was still afraid of being punished by her, so she lied.

Aunt Xue struggled for a moment and then said, "It's the lady who just left. She was the one who picked up the child."

She didn't recognize Princess Yongjia, she just thought she was the wife of some family.

In fact, Aunt Xue didn't want to talk about this at first. She was afraid that finding the child would affect her son's inheritance of the title.

But what Su Qingyu meant just now was that she was still holding a grudge. She no longer dared to hide it. If she could find the child if she told the matter, Su Qingyu might be able to spare their mother and son.

When Su Qingyu heard this, she blurted out: "It's impossible."

Li Yunzhou only arrived at Shanjun Palace when he was five years old. How could it be possible that Princess Yongjia picked up the child?

Seeing that Su Qingyu didn't believe it, Aunt Xue said firmly: "Miss, I can't be wrong. It's really her. Although she is a little older, her appearance is right."

Su Qingyu stared at Aunt Xue coldly, "Auntie, that person has a high status and is not something you can compete with. You'd better not lie to me. If there is a single word of lies, I will ask Su Yuankai to see the Prince of Hell immediately."

Aunt Xue's heart tightened as she was stared at by Su Qingyu. She recalled it carefully and spoke again, "Miss, believe me, I am definitely not wrong."

Su Qingyu tapped her green fingers on the table. Could it be that she was really Princess Yongjia? So why did she do this? Pick up the child, raise it outside for a few years, and then bring it into the house and abuse it. No matter how you think about it, it feels unreasonable.

Su Qingyu's intuition told her that there was something else going on.

In this case, Aunt Xue must still stay. Who knows if one day she finds out clearly, she will be needed to testify.

"If I dare to leak anything about what my aunt said today, I will never let you, mother and son go."

Aunt Xue nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, eldest lady, I won't say a word."

This secret is her life-saving talisman. Unless she has lived enough, she really does not dare to reveal a word.

After sending Aunt Xue away, Su Qingyu sat alone in the hall for a while, unable to sort out the messy thoughts in her mind.

Until Shen Zhixiu came to find her, saw that she was in a daze, walked up to her and gently smoothed her hair.

"What's wrong? Aunt Xue comes to see you, but what's the matter?"
