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

Princess Yongjia felt embarrassed as if her inner thoughts were exposed. She thought Shen Zhixiu thought the same thing and was hinting at her.

"Master Shen, what do you mean by this? I am not going to drink Taiwangju to reduce internal heat just because my daughter was punished to kneel."

Su Qingyu looked at Princess Yongjia with an inexplicable expression, "Princess, you misunderstood. When Third Master heard that Fourth Young Master Li was missing, Princess cried and fainted, so she had someone prepare a fetus."

Princess Yongjia was stunned for a moment before she realized that she had misjudged her thoughts. Ever since she knew her daughter was punished, she had not thought about Li Yunzhou.

She quickly took out her handkerchief with a sad look on her face and wiped her eyes twice, "I feel sad when I talk about this. Although he is not my biological son, I still love him as if he were my own."

Everyone present is a shrewd person, and no one can tell whether someone is sincere or not.

Even the old lady looked at Princess Yongjia suspiciously. It seems that rumors cannot be trusted. A stepmother is still a stepmother. If Shen Yue marries in the future, it is better for her to live in a separate house. Living under the watchful eyes of her stepmother is not necessarily a good life.

Princess Yongjia pretended to cry for a while before she realized she had been led astray. She came to seek justice for her daughter, not to mourn for Li Yunzhou.

She concealed the sadness on her face and put the handkerchief back into her pocket.

She looked at Su Qingyu in her princess manner and said, "Madam Shen San, I came here today to ask you, why was my daughter punished to kneel in the ancestral hall just because she said Li Yunzhou was missing?"

"Which rule of your Shen family did she violate?"

Princess Yongjia stared at Su Qingyu with an extremely oppressive look.

Su Qingyu raised her eyelids and looked back at Princess Yongjia, and said calmly, "What she said is correct. You can tell me and Third Master. But you can't tell it in Qingyuan Residence. My mother-in-law is old and can't stand such stimulation."

"The emperor governs the country with benevolence and filial piety. The Third Master and I follow the emperor's benevolence and filial piety and govern our family with filial piety. May I ask Princess Yongjia, what's wrong?"

Princess Yongjia was speechless when asked, and cursed Su Qingyu in her heart for her sweet talk and for bringing up the emperor for such a small matter.

But she didn't dare to say that Su Qingyu was wrong. According to this line of speech, saying that Su Qingyu was wrong would be the same as saying that the emperor was wrong.

Princess Yongjia gnashed her teeth and said, "Even if she is really wrong, there is no need to punish her so severely, right? As her aunt, you can just give her a warning. It is freezing cold, kneeling for a whole day and night, how can she bear it?"

Su Qingyu picked up the orange-yellow chrysanthemum tea beside her, took a sip elegantly, and then spoke.

"Every country has its own laws, every family has its own rules. I don't think the punishment is too heavy."

Princess Yongjia was furious. "Madam Shen San, what do you mean by saying you are the emperor and the law of the country? Is punishing Chaoyun out of your own selfishness or because of the Shen family's rules?"

"Don't think I don't know that you were once engaged to Shen Zhao. Are you deliberately making things difficult for my daughter because of the loving relationship between her and her husband?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present changed their expressions.

Shen Zhixiu placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table. "Princess, please think before you speak. Qingyu's attitude is the attitude of the Shen family."

"If the princess feels that the Shen family's rules are too strict, you can take the princess back to educate her. When she is well educated, send her back."

The old lady also looked unhappy, but Shen Zhixiu's words were so harsh that she didn't say anything.

Princess Yongjia saw Shen Zhixiu's cold expression and was unwilling to give in.

"Master Shen, have you ever thought about this? If the Third Miss of the Shen family marries into the Li family one day, and I treat her like this, how would you feel?"

Princess Yongjia's words sounded like a threat.

Shen Yue is the apple of the old lady's eye, and these words touched her sore spot.

"If Princess Yongjia says so, then this door..."

The old lady wanted to say that this marriage should be called off, and it would be a good opportunity to cancel the engagement with Shen Yue.

But Shen Zhixiu interrupted him, "If Shen Yue married Li Yunzhou and her mother-in-law punished her like this, then she must have made a big mistake, and the Shen family will never say no."

As for which mother-in-law, Shen Zhixiu did not say clearly.

Seeing that the Shen family was not willing to give her face, Princess Yongjia stood up and walked away. Before leaving, she glared at Shen Zhao. They were both men, so how could Shen Zhixiu protect Su Qingyu, but Shen Zhao couldn't protect her daughter.

But Shen Zhao had no choice, he couldn't get a word in. Not to mention facing his uncle, even facing Su Qingyu, he was inferior in momentum.

Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu stood up and escorted Princess Yongjia to the gate of Qingyuan Residence according to etiquette. They also instructed Shen Zhao to escort Princess Yongjia back.

Shen Zhao could only follow Princess Yongjia quickly, wanting to say something to calm her down, but he didn't know what to say.

After Princess Yongjia left, Shen Zhixiu and Su Qingyu returned to the hall of Qingyuanju again.

As the two of them walked in, Shen Yue followed in.

When he saw Shen Zhixiu, he stepped forward and asked, "Uncle San, have you found Brother Yunzhou? Is he okay?"

Shen Zhixiu comforted him, "Don't worry, good news will be reported back to Beijing soon."

The old lady looked at Shen Zhixiu in confusion, motioned him to sit down, and asked, "Why didn't you let me speak just now? In my opinion, it's better to cancel the marriage. You can't wait until someone dies and let Shen Yue marry into the Li family."

Before Shen Zhixiu could speak, Shen Yue said, "I will not cancel the engagement. If he dies on the battlefield, I will remain faithful to him while I am alive and be buried with him after I die."

Su Qingyu:......

Why are these words so familiar?

The old lady scolded: "Nonsense."

Shen Yue looked determined, "How is this nonsense? That's what Third Aunt said when she wanted to marry Third Uncle. At that time, Third Uncle had already been reported dead, so didn't Third Aunt marry in?"

Su Qingyu suddenly realized that these words were said on the day she broke off the engagement with Shen Zhao and decided to marry Shen Zhixiu.

But her situation was different from Shen Yue's. She didn't have many choices at that time, and Mrs. Shen was easy to get along with.

But Shen Yue was different. Her marriage had not been formally decided, and Princess Yongjia was her stepmother. In addition, the Shen family was now more powerful, so Shen Yue would not have trouble finding a husband if she did not marry Li Yunzhou.

After Shen Yue said this, the old lady didn't want to say too much. She was afraid that if she said too much, Su Qingyu would be suspicious. She couldn't say that you are different from your third aunt.

Su Qingyu knew the situation clearly and didn't want to embarrass the old lady. She said, "It's too early to talk about this matter now."

"Why not wait for accurate news to come back and discuss it carefully."

If her brother really had an accident, she would persuade Shen Yue to cancel the engagement.

Su Qingyu had a vague intuition that her brother was fine.

Before she knew the news, she was a little nervous, as she felt that something was going on that she didn't know about. But after Li Chaoyun told her about it, she felt relieved.

Sure enough, after leaving Qingyuanju, Wenzhu came up to him and reported in a low voice.

"Third Master, there is news coming back from the Northern Frontier that General Li Yunzhou's whereabouts have been discovered."
