Li Chaoyun had a sad look on his face, but if you looked closely, you would see a glimmer of excitement in his eyes.

She knew the news last night and didn't intend to say it. But when she heard Su Qingyu teasing Shen Yue just now, she said it again.

She wanted to see how they would react when they heard the news.

When Shen Yue heard this, she was sewing the collar of her clothes. She didn't know how the needle in her hand moved, but it pierced her fingertips. Blood oozed out and condensed into blood beads.

Shen Yue didn't feel any pain. There was only one thought in her mind: Li Yunzhou was missing. What does missing mean? It means that his life or death is unknown. There are many possibilities.

Her vision was instantly blocked by tears. She raised her head and looked at Li Chaoyun, but could only see a blurry figure.

Su Qingyu, who hadn't sat down yet, felt a jolt in her heart when she heard Li Chaoyun's words. No wonder the Third Master was alone in the study last night, looking so solemn. No wonder she had been restless these past few days, always feeling that the Third Master was hiding something from her.

When Su Qingyu thought that Li Yunzhou's life or death was unknown, she felt a sharp pain in her heart that spread to her limbs.

But Li Chaoyun was still there, so she forced herself to calm down.

Missing... that is, the person has not yet reported his/her death, so this is not the time to break down and cry.

Su Qingyu walked to Shen Yue, took the things in her hand, and helped her clean the blood on her fingers.

"Don't cry, maybe it's just a false alarm."

Then he whispered, "Your grandmother is old and can't stand such stimulation. Please stop crying first."

Shen Yue then noticed that her grandmother was looking at her worriedly, and her face was not looking good. Shen Yue hurriedly wiped away her tears, but the tears seemed to be out of control, and the more she wiped, the more she cried.

In the end, the grandparents and grandchildren hugged each other and cried together.

Seeing the two of them like this, Su Qingyu became calmer and signaled to Nanny Hua to help the old lady and Shen Yue into the inner room to clean their faces and put on makeup.

After a few people left, Su Qingyu turned around, looked at Li Chaoyun coldly, and scolded him harshly.

"Isn't the princess too unruly? There are old people and young people in the family, can't you think before you speak?"

She knew that Li Chaoyun did it on purpose, and she knew exactly what Li Chaoyun was thinking.

Li Chaoyun was stunned. She didn't expect Su Qingyu to get angry at her in public.

She had been spoiled since she was a child, and even the emperor was kind to her. Naturally, she was unwilling to accept Su Qingyu's discipline.

"What are you talking about, Aunt San? I didn't mean it."

"I thought Shen Yue was Fourth Brother's future wife, so wouldn't it be reasonable for me to tell her?"

Su Qingyu took two steps forward and looked directly at Li Chaoyun with a cold gaze.

"I didn't say you did it on purpose. I just asked you, what was Princess Yongjia's reaction when she heard the news."

Li Chaoyun was stunned for a moment. What was his mother's reaction? Of course, his mother couldn't help but smile. She lit three incense sticks to the Buddha that night, hoping that his third brother would be successful in the northern border.

But she couldn't say that, so she could only say with sorrow: "Of course my mother was heartbroken, and she fainted after hearing the news."

Su Qingyu almost sneered out loud, fainted from crying? The happiest person in the capital must be Princess Yongjia when her brother got into trouble, right?

"Since the princess knew that her loved ones would be heartbroken, why did she say this in Qingyuan Residence?"

"Shen Yue was so sad that her mother was also sad. Her mother felt sorry for Shen Yue. As long as there was no news about Li Yunzhou, she would be worried about him."

"If you really consider your elders, why would you say this as soon as you entered Qingyuanju?"

"Besides, your uncle is an official in the court, and there are elders like me and your aunt inside. If you don't understand, why don't you ask us?"

"If you could say it, wouldn't your uncle have said it long ago? Why is it your turn to show off here?"

"If anything happens to my mother, I will definitely go to ask Prince Shan and Princess Consort about it. Is this how a daughter from the Li family should be filial?"

Su Qingyu spoke in a loud and cold voice because she was angry. The servants guarding outside Qingyuan Residence also heard everything clearly. Everyone acted more cautiously, fearing that innocent people would be affected.

Second Madam Yang sat aside without saying anything, but she agreed deeply with Su Qingyu's words.

For wealthy families, especially those with elders at home, do they still need to be taught what to say and what not to say?

Li Chaoyun didn't expect that Su Qingyu would directly accuse her of being an unfilial parent.

If this word gets out, it will be bad for her reputation.

But no matter how she explained it, it was a fact that what was said in Qingyuanju was true, and it was also a fact that the old lady was worried now.

So Li Chaoyun tactfully stopped arguing and said, "I'll remember that. Thank you for your advice, Aunt Third."

Although the tone was still stiff, for Li Chaoyun, this was considered as bowing his head.

However, Su Qingyu didn't want to let it go. Li Chaoyun had no good intentions, so she didn't want to let her off.

"A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. Since my sister-in-law is recovering from illness and I am the mistress of the house, this matter must be handled."

"Otherwise, the people below will follow suit and this family will be in chaos."

She turned to look at Yang again, "What do you think, sister-in-law?"

Ever since Yang showed her goodwill to Su Qingyu, and Shen Hong was furious with Shen Zhao because of Shen Zhao's visit to the Zhanshi Mansion, Shen Zhixiu often took time out to teach Shen Hong knowledge and the ways of being an official, all of which Yang saw.

So when Su Qingyu asked her, she nodded without hesitation and said, "Third sister-in-law is right. The rules cannot be broken at home. If the master's rules are broken, the people below will follow suit. How can anything good happen?"

She was not afraid of offending Li Chaoyun. No matter how good Li Chaoyun's family background was, she had no real power. So what if she had the support of the Li family? Would Princess Yongjia still come to her because of this sentence?

The relationship with the third house is a real benefit. Especially the future of his son is the most important. As long as Shen Zhixiu values ​​Shen Hong, Shen Hong will not have to worry about his future in this life.

Su Qingyu's question to Yang today was also an intentional or unintentional attempt to test her position. Sooner or later, the conflict between her and the eldest wife would become a life-and-death struggle, whether it was because of her past life or because of her brother, these were irreconcilable.

She needs to know the second house's position clearly, at least its current position must be clear.

Su Qingyu was very satisfied after hearing what Yang said. Then she said to Li Chaoyun in a cold voice: "Since the princess knows that she is wrong, she should kneel down in the ancestral hall."

"The Shen family rules state that those who are disrespectful to their elders will be punished with a cane if they are serious, or kneel down and reflect on themselves if they are minor."

"Since the princess didn't do it on purpose, I will punish her by making her kneel for a day and a night. She must get up tomorrow morning."
