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

Xian Fei and Li Chaoyun stood up at the same time and asked in unison, "Really?"

"It is absolutely true. The news has reached the Imperial Study. The Emperor has just summoned several ministers to the palace to discuss the Northern Frontier issue."

Li Chaoyun breathed a sigh of relief. His mother's plan had finally succeeded. With Li Yunzhou's death, Northern Xinjiang no longer had to worry about military power falling into someone else's hands.

The virtuous concubine was also very satisfied with the result. She exchanged a few more words with Li Chaoyun and even specially rewarded her with some jewelry to comfort her before letting her leave the palace.

When Su Qingyu got the news, she was checking the accounts in the small study.

After Feicui came in, she looked at Su Qingyu nervously at first, then she said with gritted teeth.

"Madam, there is news coming back from the Northern Frontier."

Su Qingyu didn't stop her movements, and didn't even raise her head. She smiled and asked, "Is my brother going back to the court?"

Feicui felt reluctant, but she had to tell the truth. Such a big thing could not be concealed for a while.

"Madam, Young Master Yunzhou... and Marquis Xuanwu were trapped in the Spring Valley. During the fight with the bandits, they fell off a cliff thousands of feet high, and their bodies were never found."

Su Qingyu stopped fiddling with the abacus beads. She heard clearly what Feicui said, but it seemed as if she didn't hear it clearly.

Those words seemed to enter my ears and float out again.

She pushed the abacus away, looked up at Emerald, and forced a smile.

"Emerald, what are you talking about? Where did you hear this rumor? Or are you having a nightmare?"

Feicui walked up to Su Qingyu and said softly, "Madam, I have confirmed with Wenzhu, and the news is true. I'm afraid it has spread all over the capital now."

Su Qingyu just sat stiffly in the chair, her eyes empty, not shedding a single tear.

After a long while, she spoke again: "Last time my brother disappeared, he was found later. Since he fell off a cliff and his body was not found, maybe it was to cover up the truth."

Feicui pursed her lower lip tightly, tears falling uncontrollably. She had been with the Madam for so many years, and she had never seen her like this.

"Madam, Wenzhu said that the news was sent back by the third young master of the Li family. At that time, the third young master of the Li family went to reinforce and saw the young master Yunzhou and Xuanwu Hou fall off the cliff with his own eyes."

"The Third Master is still in the palace right now, I'm afraid he will be back very late."

There was a chill in Su Qingyu's eyes, and her cold gaze froze into frost.

"Reinforcements? I think he was the one who pushed my brother and Xuanwu Hou down."

"Li family..."

She will never be done with the Li family in her life. When she overthrows the Li family, this matter will be over.

Feicui reminded him in a low voice, "Madam, you still have to go to Yushu Hutong to have a look. This matter cannot be concealed. It has spread all over the capital now."

When Su Qingyu thought of her mother, she felt a dull pain in her heart again.

"Prepare the car. I'm going to Yushu Hutong."

She stood up and walked out of the study as if nothing had happened, went to the outer courtyard and got on the carriage.

Not to mention tears, there wasn't even a trace of sadness on his face.

The sharp nails of the hand under the sleeve were embedded in the flesh, and by the time Feicui discovered it, it was already a bloody mess.

"Ma'am, what are you doing? If you're sad, just cry."

In the carriage, Feicui spoke in a crying, almost pleading tone.

Su Qingyu shook her head, her voice cold and stern, "I can't cry. The fourth young master of the Li family died in battle. What's the point of me crying?"

"I can't let the Li family find out about my relationship with him. This is the only way to deal a fatal blow to the Li family."

Jade raised her sleeves and wiped the tears from her face.

He took out a clean cotton handkerchief and wrapped Su Qingyu's hands.

"Ma'am, if there is something that needs someone to do, I can do it."

Her life was given by the Third Young Master. If it weren't for the Third Young Master, she would have been bought and killed. Over the years, the Madam has treated her like her own sister.

If someone really needs revenge, she is willing to do so, even at the cost of her own life.

Su Qingyu shook her head and said, "No hurry. It's not like you can get revenge by killing someone alone. I want the Li family to disappear completely from the Great Zhou."

After the two arrived at Yushu Hutong, they hurried into Lin Wanyin's inner room.

Beside the bed in the inner room, Lin Wanyin and Bai Sulian were crying together.

Bai Sulian only found out today that the fourth young master of the Li family was the eldest young master she had lost. But just when she found him, he died in the northern border.

The two of them couldn't control their emotions and had been crying for quite a while.

Fortunately, the people serving in Yushu Hutong were all Lin Wanyin's confidants, and they were all waiting outside quietly.

Su Qingyu walked slowly to the bedside and held Bai Sulian's shoulders first, "Mother, Aunt Lian."

Lin Wanyin looked up at Su Qingyu, her eyes blurred by tears, and she could only see a familiar outline.

"Qingyu, my son, why is your brother so miserable?"

"What will mother do in the future? Mother is still waiting for him to come back so that our family can be reunited."

Su Qingyu sat down beside the bed and held Lin Wanyin's cold and lifeless hand.

"Mother, please don't be like this..."

As he spoke, he could no longer control his tears, which began to fall.

Feicui stood aside, wiping her eyes with a handkerchief. The three people beside the bed were all crying.

But no matter how sad you are, life must go on.

Su Qingyu knew that she couldn't let her mother be like this, so she wiped her tears and comforted her.

"Mom, I just fell off a cliff, but no body was found. This matter is not the end of it."

Lin Wanyin raised her red and swollen eyes and asked in a hoarse voice: "Are you saying that your brother may still be alive?"

Su Qingyu nodded solemnly and said, "Of course, as long as no corpse is seen, everything is possible."

"Has mother forgotten? At the beginning, the Third Master was also reported dead, but he just got injured."

"Since my brother was able to destroy the Liao Kingdom, he must be destined to be very rich and powerful. With such a destiny, accidents will not happen easily. If mother doesn't believe me, let's go ask Master Ci'en one day."

Su Qingyu spoke with great confidence, and Lin Wanyin listened carefully.

Maybe what Su Qingyu said was too true, or maybe Lin Wanyin was subconsciously willing to believe her words. After Su Qingyu finished speaking, Lin Wanyin's eyes lit up.

"Qingyu is right. Let's wait a little longer. Maybe he will come back in a few days."

Su Qingyu also took the opportunity to tell Lin Wanyin and Bai Sulian not to reveal any clues to the outside world. She still needed to consider her brother's life experience.

Secretly, she wanted Li Yunzhou to recognize his ancestors. If nothing else, at least there would be a proper incense offering. She and her mother would also have a place to worship during the New Year.

But she was also afraid that after the Li family knew the truth, they would be even more wary of her and Shen Zhixiu and would be more vigilant.

Between revenge and tracing one's roots, she chose revenge.

At worst, after revenge, she could adopt a child for her brother to carry on the family line. But if revenge was not taken, she was afraid that her brother would not be able to rest in peace in his grave.

In fact, the words I just said to my mother were only to persuade her to slowly accept this reality.

Since Li Yunhuai went to Quanyan Valley in person, how could he be given a chance to survive?
