Su Qingyu and Aunt Xue went to Songhe Hall together. The old lady was already sitting in the side hall.

Seeing Su Qingyu come in, the old lady asked: "Qingyu, see if you can go to Qiqiu Zhixiu and put your eldest brother back first."

Su Qingyu sat down under the old lady and asked, "Grandma, what happened? I'm still confused."

He asked this question, but there was a sneer in his heart. The grandmother really cared about her grandson. Before dawn, someone called her for help.

Of course she will help, she will help them go to hell early.

Seeing that Su Qingyu still looked confused, the old lady explained, "Last night your eldest brother and the sixth young master of the Xu family went to the Xu family's warehouse in the suburbs of Beijing."

"The fireworks set off there were all fireworks for the Emperor's Longevity Festival. But for some reason, the fireworks exploded."

"Now several of them have been taken away by the Criminal Department, and your brother is still injured. I want you to go to Qiuqiu Zhixiu. With his status, letting your brother out is just a matter of words."

When Su Qingyu heard this, she asked in confusion: "Why did brother go to the Xu family's warehouse in the middle of the night? Now the Ministry of Justice suspects that they deliberately destroyed the fireworks?"

The old lady sighed and said, "Your brother was implicated by Master Xu Liu. Who knows what he was doing there in the middle of the night."

"The Emperor's Longevity Day will be in five days, and we must be held accountable for this matter. The Ministry of Punishment arrested a few of them, most likely to take the blame."

"But your brother is innocent, and he will not do such a treasonous thing. You should wait at the gate of Shen's house now, and you can talk to him while Zhixiu is going to court."

Su Qingyu almost laughed out loud as she listened to the old lady's words.

What does it mean that Su Yuankai is innocent?

She still wants to wait at the gate of Shen's house?

Is Su Yuankai worthy?

Su Qingyu's face remained calm, she thought for a moment and said, "Grandma really wants to take my eldest brother back from the Ministry of Justice?"

"It's a small matter, it's just an accident. But it's a big thing, it's equivalent to ruining the Emperor's Longevity Festival, which is a crime of great disrespect."

"If the emperor really investigates thoroughly and finds that only our young master of the Su family has been brought back, will the emperor be angry?"

"The Xu family is also involved. Will Mr. Xu Ge vent his anger on the Su family? Are there any casualties among the people in the warehouse today?"

As Su Qingyu asked this question, the old lady's expression completely changed.

She didn't think about any of this, or in other words, she was only thinking about her grandson and didn't think much about it at all.

At this time, listening to Su Qingyu analyze the pros and cons one by one, I realized that her previous decision was a bit risky.

"Then what do you think we should do about this matter? I'm afraid that your elder brother's injury will get worse in the Criminal Department." The old lady ran out of ideas for a moment, so she subconsciously asked Su Qingyu.

Aunt Xue was also anxious on the side, crying and begging: "Old madam, eldest lady, you can't ignore the eldest young master. What should I do if I lose my life in a place like the Penal Department Prison?"

The old lady frowned and scolded her, "Why are you crying? The person is not dead yet, so there is no need for you to mourn."

"You don't understand anything, so stop interrupting and listen to what I have to say."

Aunt Xue didn't dare to make any more noise for a while, so she could only wipe the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Su Qingyu thought for a moment and said: "The most urgent thing is to find out whether there are any casualties. In addition, wait until my father comes back from the court, and then ask the emperor about his attitude on this matter."

"If the emperor didn't care and just let this matter go, we could still beg for help."

"If the emperor is angry and wants to investigate this matter thoroughly, then everyone in the Su family will have to ask for their own blessings. If the matter gets serious, let alone eldest brother, we will all have to go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

Su Qingyu deliberately made the matter sound serious, and the old lady was frightened.

"Old madam, we've got some news." Butler Su Zhong suddenly walked in from outside.

Since Su Zhong knew about Su Yuankai's accident, he had been outside to get information. When he came in hurriedly, the old lady felt a little uneasy and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What did you find out?"

Su Zhong stood in the middle of the side hall, raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He spoke in a hoarse voice, "I heard that the eldest young master of the Xu family was the most seriously injured. One of his legs was blown off by the fireworks. The sixth young master of the Xu family had one arm blown off."

"Our eldest young master..."

When Su Zhong said this, he hesitated for a moment.

Aunt Xue covered her mouth with one hand. She wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, for fear of asking some cruel news.

The old lady said in a deep voice: "Tell me, what's wrong with the eldest young master?"

Su Zhong said: "Our eldest son's eye was damaged by the explosion. I heard from the people in the Punishment Department that the doctor looked at it and said he will no longer be able to see in one eye."

"They also said that our eldest young master's internal organs have been displaced and he cannot move now. If he is not careful, his life may not be saved."

As soon as these words were spoken, Aunt Xue fainted.

The old lady closed her eyes tightly for a moment, then opened them again and asked, "Is the news accurate?"

Su Zhong nodded and said, "Everyone who was in the warehouse at that time was taken away by the Criminal Department."

"Now all the doctors in the capital are in the Ministry of Punishment to treat them."

"Even the eldest young master and the sixth young master of the Xu family are lying in the punishment department."

"The younger one spent a lot of money to bribe a criminal officer from the Criminal Department. He shouldn't lie to me."

The old lady turned to look at Su Qingyu, "What should we do now?"

Su Qingyu pondered and replied: "Now... I can only wait for my father to go to court. It depends on the emperor's wishes. Does grandma want to go in and have a rest?"

He asked this question, but he was thinking in his heart. He didn't know if Shen Zhixiu could bring down the Xu family with this matter. According to Shen Zhixiu, this matter is just an opportunity, and he has other chips in his hand.

At this time, the old lady couldn't lie down, so she ordered someone to bring breakfast directly. She and Su Qingyu had breakfast in the side hall and waited for Su Chengye to leave the court.

As for Aunt Xue, she had been taken out by the servants to find a doctor.

The old lady was thinking about her grandson, so she only took two mouthfuls of porridge and then put down the bowl.

Su Qingyu was a little hungry after all the hard work, so she ate a basket of steamed buns, a bowl of multigrain porridge, and two plates of light side dishes.

When it came time for Su Chengye to go back to his hometown, no one was there. The old lady was so anxious that she couldn't sit still and ordered someone to inquire. The inquirer came back and said that the meeting was not over yet.

Su Qingyu felt relieved, she guessed that Shen Zhixiu had done it.

If Mr. Xu Ge is impeached in court, it will indeed not be over for a while.

The old lady is willing to wait here, but she doesn't want to wait anymore. I woke up early in the morning and was very sleepy at this time.

Su Qingyu stood up and discussed with the old lady in a low voice: "Grandma, I will go back and change my clothes first. If I need to go to the Shen family to plead for mercy, I can go out immediately without any delay."

The old lady heard this and said quickly: "Yes, we need to prepare in advance. You should go back quickly."

In this way, Su Qingyu returned to Bishui Pavilion, lay on the bed and fell asleep. Before going to bed, he asked Pearl to wake her up when Su Chengye came back.

By the time Zhenzhu woke up Su Qingyu, it was already after noon.

"Miss, the Marquis is back. He was carried back." Pearl said in a panic, and patted Su Qingyu's arm gently.
