Li Chaoyun heard Shen Zhao's voice and kicked the door open.

Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu also looked inside along the door and saw Shen Zhao half-crouching. Cheng Rujin's face was blushing, and her clothes were half untied and she was clinging to him.

Li Chaoyun opened his mouth and shouted angrily, "Shen Zhao, you asked me to talk about something just so that I can watch you and your concubine make love?"

She knew that Shen Zhao had a concubine, but she didn't take it seriously. But it's one thing to know, but it's another thing for Shen Zhao to slap her in the face like this.

Shen Zhao's expression changed when he heard Li Chaoyun's voice. Why is she here?

While he helped Cheng Rujin up, he turned to look at Li Chaoyun, wanting to say a few words of comfort.

He held Cheng Rujin's arm with his broad palm, and the moment he turned sideways, he saw a cold light flash through.

Shen Zhao said "Ah" and subconsciously covered his left shoulder with his right hand.

Blood flowed out from between the fingers, and the light cyan brocade robe was stained with a layer of bright blood red.

Su Qingyu's lowered eyes flashed with regret.

If Li Chaoyun hadn't spoken and Shen Zhao hadn't turned around, these silver needles would have penetrated directly into his heart and lungs.

Shen Zhao shouted at Cheng Rujin in his arms, "Are you crazy? What are you doing?"

Cheng Ruijin was drugged by Baihua Tower at this time and her consciousness was blurred. She had no idea that she was being watched and that she had hurt Shen Zhao.

Now all she thinks about is her love with Shen Zhao. When she heard Shen Zhao yelling at her, she bit her lower lip subconsciously, and her gleaming eyes instantly became filled with pear blossoms.

"Brother Shen Zhao, have you forgotten what you told me? You said you would depend on me for the rest of your life."

"You also said that if you don't worry about your cousin's marriage to Princess Chaoyun in the future, it's just to deal with the family."

"Brother Shen Zhao, I only have you, so don't yell at me. I will do whatever you ask me to do from now on."

Cheng Rujin's words were like a slap in the face to Li Chaoyun. what is this? Did you call her here specifically to humiliate her?

She married Shen Zhao to cope with the imperial decree. But when Shen Zhao said it in front of so many people, it was like a naked slap in her face.

Where should she put her dignity as a royal daughter?

And Shen Zhao, who is he to dare to insult her like this?

Anger welling up, Li Chaoyun walked to Shen Zhao and said through gritted teeth.

"If you don't want to get married, you can go to the palace and ask the emperor to take back your marriage. What do you mean by humiliating me like this?"

Shen Zhao covered the injury on his arm and explained with a frown, "That's not what I meant. I didn't know you would come."

Li Chaoyun laughed in anger, "You mean, if I hadn't come, you could have humiliated me with a clear conscience?"

"Okay, okay, I will go into the palace and tell Uncle Huang that the Shen family's status is beyond my reach."

Shen Zhixiu saw that in the blink of an eye, things turned out to be out of place. He ordered in a deep voice: "Someone, bring the eldest young master and Aunt Cheng back to the house."

Then he turned to Yang Wenshi and said apologetically: "Brother Wenshi, I will treat you to a drink some other time. The things at home made you laugh today, so I will take care of these things first."

Yang Wenshi was shocked by the scene in front of him just now and could not react for a moment.

Hearing what Shen Zhixiu said at this time, he hurriedly said: "You go ahead and do your work first. I have something to do at the Ministry of War office, so I'll leave first."

After Yang Wenshi left, Wen Zhu and others came forward, intending to take Shen Zhao and Cheng Rujin away.

But Li Chaoyun walked to the door and stared at Shen Zhixiu, "Should Mr. Shen give an explanation to my Li family?"

Shen Zhixiu replied calmly.

"I will ask clearly what happened when I go back, and my Shen family will deal with it according to the family rules."

"As for the marriage between the Li family and the Shen family, Princess Chaoyun can go back and discuss it with Prince Shan and the princess. If you want to break off the engagement, I, the Shen family, have no objection."

Li Chaoyun was dissatisfied with this argument, "Is this the attitude your family has made when it comes to making mistakes?"

Shen Zhixiu frowned and didn't want to talk to Li Chaoyun.

Shen Zhao did something wrong, so it was time for the Shen family and the Li family to sit down and discuss what to do next. Either the Shen family and Shen Zhao come to plead guilty, or the two families renegotiate the marriage.

Li Chaoyun blocked the door and asked him, what does it look like?

When Su Qingyu saw this, she stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I will give it to the Shen family if you need to give it to me."

"Why don't we take the eldest young master and Aunt Cheng back first, and then go to the Li family to discuss it later."

The family must discuss it and come to a conclusion before they can explain it to the Li family. How to explain it at this time? Li Chaoyun could not be left a widow on the spot. Although she hoped that Li Chaoyun would become a widow more than anyone else, things couldn't be done that way.

Li Chaoyun could still save some face when talking to Shen Zhixiu. But when Su Qingyu opened her mouth, she had nothing good to say.

"Who do you think you are? I'm talking to Third Master, how can you interrupt?"

Shen Zhixiu's face immediately darkened upon hearing this, and just as he was about to step forward, he was pulled back by Su Qingyu.

Su Qingyu stood between Shen Zhixiu and Li Chaoyun with a smile, her tone was calm, but what she said was not pleasant.

"Who am I? I'm afraid Princess Chaoyun has forgotten that I am the third master's wife."

"Princess Chaoyun hasn't married into the Shen family yet, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate to talk to my husband like this. As the third wife of the Shen family, it's most appropriate for me to talk to the lady in the house on my husband's behalf."

"When the princess marries into the Shen family, she will also call me third aunt. When I talk to you, you must also respond respectfully."

"It doesn't matter if the princess doesn't understand the rules. When you get married, I will teach you carefully."

When Su Qingyu spoke to the end, her tone was neither urgent nor slow. But his eyes were dark and cold, and the look he looked at Li Chaoyun had no warmth at all.

Li Chaoyun clenched his fists tightly, veins appeared on the back of his hands, and he wanted to slap Su Qingyu.

But Shen Zhixiu was looking at her coldly at this time. She didn't take Su Qingyu seriously, but was very afraid of Shen Zhixiu.

Li Chaoyun gritted his teeth and said to Su Qingyu: "The third lady is really sharp-tongued. This princess is really experienced."

Su Qingyu was too lazy to talk nonsense with her and told Jade beside her, "The third master is bringing men. It is not convenient for him to touch Aunt Cheng. Please take them back home."

Then he ordered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Don't let the people in the big house touch her in private. You can watch it yourself."

Jade nodded cautiously.

Not long after, Shen Zhao was supported by Wenzhu and walked out, while Feicui supported Cheng Rujin and followed behind.

Shen Zhixiu looked around the room, suddenly stopped and looked down at his feet.

He bent down and picked up the silver needle on the ground, and looked at it carefully.

At this time, Su Qingyu was facing away from him and did not see his meaningful gaze.

"Third Master, why aren't you leaving yet?" Su Qingyu turned around and asked.

Shen Zhixiu said calmly, "Let's go, let's go back home."
