A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Qian Dai, who was serving beside Li Chaoyun, frowned when she heard this, "Madam, although our princess made a mistake, she shouldn't be punished so harshly, right?"

"Our prince and princess have never punished us like this. Did the third lady punish us too severely?"

Qian Dai was Li Chaoyun's maidservant who came with her as a dowry. After Li Chaoyun married in, she was put in charge of all the affairs of Hanshui Courtyard. She thought that she was from the Prince Shan's Mansion and was superior to the servants of the Shen family.

As princesses, they are naturally higher than the masters of the Shen family.

Su Qingyu snorted, "Our prince? It seems that Miss Qiandai still thinks she is a member of the Li family."

"The Shen Family Temple is small, and it can't accommodate a big Buddha like you. Feicui, drag that person down and give him ten slaps to serve as a warning to others."

"After the fight, send him back to the Li family. If Princess Shan asks, tell the truth."

Qian Dai panicked immediately. In fact, she regretted what she said just now. Although she was speaking up for her master, the other party was the housekeeper's third wife after all. This third wife was always decisive.

But she thought that even if the Third Lady was angry, she could just scold her or make her kneel down. After all, she was the princess's maidservant, and the Third Lady should give the princess some face even if she was angry.

But I didn't expect that there was no face, only a board.

Qian Dai looked at Li Chaoyun helplessly. She didn't want to be sent back to the Li family. Not only would she be laughed at, but even the princess would be laughed at.

Li Chaoyun didn't expect Su Qingyu to mobilize so many people, forcing her to kneel and beat her maid, and sending her back to the Li family. Was she trying to trample on her dignity?

"Aunt San is too harsh. The maid said something wrong, so I asked her to apologize to you. There is no need to punish her with a stick or torment my mother. People who know her will think she is punishing the maid, but those who don't will think that Aunt San is trying to please me."

Su Qingyu acted in a dignified manner with a stern face, and she had the full aura of a lady of the house.

"I don't agree with what you said, Princess. We are not a small family. Not to mention the servants, even we have to follow the rules when we walk, stand, sit and lie down."

"Today she dared to contradict me, the head lady, and tomorrow she will betray me. We cannot keep such a servant in the Shen family."

"If this person wasn't the princess's dowry, I would have sold her out immediately."

Su Qingyu seized on Qiandai's mistake and refused to give in.

Li Chaoyun gnashed his teeth in anger, but he had no other choice but to look towards the inner room again and again, waiting for the old lady to come out.

At this moment, Shen Yue was listening attentively to the noises coming from the banquet room at the door of the inner room. She was young and had sharp ears, so she probably heard what was going on outside.

After thinking for a while, she walked to the bedside again. Nanny Hua was combing the old lady's hair again.

"Grandma, I feel dizzy and my head is spinning. I want to lie down and think about this. Can you accompany me?"

The old lady was most distressed about her granddaughter. Seeing her tired and swollen eyes like walnuts, she said distressedly, "Then we won't go out. You and grandma can lie on the bed together. Let's talk, and you can sleep for a while if you feel tired."

Then he instructed Aunt Hua, "Tell them that I am tired and ask them to go back first."

Aunt Hua also vaguely heard the noise outside, but she didn't say anything. She just said yes and turned around to pass on the message.

Li Chaoyun, who was waiting for the old lady to come out, was also stunned after hearing what Nanny Hua said. For a moment, she even suspected that the old lady did it on purpose, allowing Su Qingyu to show off her power as the mistress.

Su Qingyu didn't have the patience to argue with her, so she ordered the maids around her, "Please ask the princess to go to the ancestral hall and bring Qiandai down to be punished."

Li Chaoyun stared at Su Qingyu with a resentful look, "If I don't go, don't even think about touching Qiandai. I am a princess appointed by the emperor himself, how can I allow you to humiliate me."

Su Qingyu looked calm, "If the princess doesn't go, I naturally can't do anything about her."

"But as the head lady of the Shen family, I cannot allow the younger generation to disobey or the servants to talk back."

"If the princess does not go, I can only ask the elders of the Shen family to judge. If the elders of the Shen family cannot judge, I will go to Qianyang Palace and ask the emperor to judge."

"I can't carry out my order today, so I don't have to be the mistress anymore."

"The princess's reputation is important, and my reputation cannot be trampled on by others."

Su Qingyu was upset about Li Yunzhou's matter, so she didn't care and started a fight with Li Chaoyun.

If she didn't let out this anger, she was afraid that she would get sick.

Anyway, she was in the right today, and as long as she was in the right, she was not afraid of confronting Li Chaoyun.

She would not give in at all. After all, it would affect Li Chaoyun's reputation. She was just a strict and unkind housekeeper.

After a few breaths, Su Qingyu spoke again in a cold voice.

"Someone, go and invite the first master, the second master, the third master, and the eldest young master back home."

"Please ask the elders of the Shen family to come over."

“The status of a princess is precious. I want to ask the elders how to be the head of the Shen family.”

Zhenzhu, Chuntao and others did not hesitate at all. They bowed, said yes, and were about to leave.

Seeing that Chuntao and Zhenzhu were about to reach the door, Su Qingyu remained expressionless, not afraid at all that things would get out of hand.

The door curtain was lifted by the servants, and the moment Zhenzhu stepped out of the door, Li Chaoyun spoke.

"I will follow the instructions of my third aunt and go to the ancestral hall now."

"As for Qian Dai, Third Aunt, can you please give me some face and stop beating her? I'll let her go back to the Li family on her own."

The corners of Su Qingyu's lips moved in and out, and her voice was as cold as ice.

"No."

Li Chaoyun was so angry that his chest heaved, but he couldn't do anything about Su Qingyu. Who made her in the wrong? She had to kneel down. This time she was careless.

She just didn't believe that Su Qingyu had never been in the wrong. When she found out that she was wrong, she would take back everything that happened today.

Li Chaoyun turned and walked out of the inner room of Qingyuan Residence, heading towards the ancestral hall. On the way, she gave her maid Danqing a look. Danqing understood and turned away when she reached a fork in the road.

Seeing that Li Chaoyun was punished like this, Yang also stood up.

"Third sister-in-law, should we tell mother about this? I don't think the princess will be willing to be punished, so don't let anyone come to bother mother."

Su Qingyu smiled at Yang, "I know my second sister-in-law is worried about me, but mother is not an unreasonable person. She can still distinguish right from wrong."

"I have followed the rules today. Even if Princess Yongjia moves the emperor here, I am not afraid."

Based on what Nanny Hua had just said, she guessed that the old lady must have some opinions about Li Chaoyun, blaming her for not hiding it from Shen Yue.

Maybe the old lady is still waiting for the Li family to stand up for Li Chaoyun. If she is the old lady, this is the best time to break off the engagement with the Li family.

From the old lady's point of view, she naturally has to make plans for Shen Yue.

But she didn't believe that her brother would disappear so easily, so after hearing the news, she calmed down a lot. She was not afraid of disappearance, as long as she didn't see the body, everything was unknown.

After returning to the West Courtyard, Su Qingyu did not return to the main room in the inner courtyard, but went to Shen Zhixiu's study. She wanted to wait for him to come back and find out what was going on.

Soon, Zhenzhu came in to report that Li Zhaoyun had already knelt down in the ancestral hall. The maid beside her had already gone to the Prince Shan's mansion to report the news, and someone was waiting at the door for Shen Zhao to return.

After another half an hour, Feicui came in to report that Qiandai had been sent back. Princess Yongjia was not seen, and she was handed over to the steward of the Li family.

Su Qingyu nodded to indicate that she understood.

On the desk was a map of the northern border, with marks made by Shen Zhixiu on it. She just looked at it, carefully observing every city, every official road, and every defense.

With a creak, the study door was pushed open.

Shen Zhixiu's tall figure appeared at the door.

The expression on Su Qingyu's face suddenly became lively, as if she had found her backbone.

"Brother is really missing, right? Do you know the inside story?"
