At the entrance of Guangfu Building, Li Chaoyun looked at the direction in which the Shen family's carriage was leaving, his face as dark as water.

Dan Qing, the personal maid beside Li Chaoyun, asked in a low voice: "Princess, the Shen family has gone too far."

"Let's just forget it? If you ask me, I should go back and tell the princess."

Li Chaoyun said in a cold voice, "Let's go back to the house first. Don't let the Shen family just forget about what happened today."

She was angry with Shen Zhao for doing such a scandal in public, and even more angry with Shen Zhixiu for treating her coldly, and Su Qingyu also talked down to her.

When had she ever been wronged like this? Today, the Shen family members took turns to humiliate her. If she pretends nothing happened, won't she be bullied to death when she gets married?

On the carriage that Shen Zhixiu returned to his home, Su Qingyu and he sat opposite each other.

"Third Master, I took your token to leave the house today. I know it's not my third cousin who is looking for me. Someone wants to dig a hole for me."

"I also know that Guangfu Building is the property of the Shen family. I have seen the structural diagram of Guangfu Building in your study."

What happened today cannot be hidden from Shen Zhixiu. Guangfu Building is the property of the Shen family, and she took Shen Zhixiu's token. Shen Zhixiu wouldn't believe it if he said he didn't know anything about it.

It's better to tell the truth, and she was acting in self-defense.

There was no expression of surprise on Shen Zhixiu's face, and there was no hint of happiness or anger.

"Dig a hole for you... Is it Shen Zhao? Or Aunt Cheng?"

Su Qingyu shook her head and said, "I'm not entirely sure. After I went in, I noticed someone drugging me upstairs. I asked Feicui to go up, and Cheng Rujin was brought down."

"Cheng Rujin also tried to put medicine into my mouth. I didn't know what kind of medicine it was. During the pull, Jade put the medicine into her mouth."

"I was a little panicked at the time, so I took people to find you. Did it disturb you and Mr. Yang's business?"

"It doesn't matter." He took the initiative to hold Su Qingyu's hand, "So, the silver needle on Aunt Cheng's body was originally intended to deal with you?"

"Fortunately, you reacted. I think Shen Zhao almost got a silver needle inserted into his heart and lungs today."

Su Qingyu's eyes were lowered, and Shen Zhixiu couldn't see the look in her eyes clearly.

I heard her say with lingering fear: "I didn't expect that she actually wanted my life."

She could say anything else, but she couldn't say that she wanted Shen Zhao's life. Her hatred for Shen Zhao comes from her past life, and she can't justify it to Shen Zhixiu.

Whether what he said today is true or not, Shen Zhixiu shouldn't have any doubts.

Sure enough, Shen Zhixiu patted her hand and said, "As long as you're okay, send someone to find me next time something like this happens. Don't take risks yourself."

Su Qingyu nodded obediently and quickly said that she remembered it. It was true that she was too reckless this time.

The two people, each with their own thoughts, returned to Shen's house in a carriage.

"Third Master, are you going to alarm mother about this?" Su Qingyu asked softly after getting off the carriage.

Shen Zhixiu pondered for a moment, "If I can't hide it, send someone to treat their injuries and detoxify them."

"Let's go to Qingyuan Residence first and talk to mother. We'll call the two of them in for interrogation later."

"We need to hurry up to interrogate this matter. If I predict correctly, people from the Li family will come today. We have to ask something ourselves and give an explanation to the Li family."

Shen Zhixiu and Su Qingyu went to Qingyuan Residence first. After chatting with the old lady for a few words, Shen Zhixiu talked about what happened at Guangfu Tower.

But he didn't go into details, he just said that Shen Zhao was injured, but not seriously, and it was related to Shen Zhao's concubine Cheng Rujin.

When the old lady heard that it was related to Cheng Rujin, she looked unhappy.

"I said I wouldn't let her leave the house, are you taking my words and turning a deaf ear?"

Shen Zhixiu snorted lightly, "Of course she doesn't dare, but if Shen Zhao takes her out, who dares to stop him?"

What happened today, Shen Zhixiu knew, was not as simple as Su Qingyu said. I'm afraid that Shen Zhao's handiwork was behind it, and the eldest grandson of the Shen family was considered useless.

So when Shen Zhao was mentioned at this time, it was with strong dissatisfaction.

The old lady took a deep look at Shen Zhixiu and suddenly said: "You said before that you wanted to let Shen Zhao go out. I think you can do it after we get married."

"It doesn't matter if you let him go out and practice for a few years. When he comes back, he will be wiser and better."

Su Qingyu sat aside and said nothing. She could tell that the old lady was afraid that her uncle and nephew would make trouble out of control.

She can understand things clearly, and Shen Zhixiu naturally has a clear mind as well.

Nodding his head, he said, "Mother is right. I have started to pay attention to it. Duke Wei has been stationed in Qianzhou for many years. It would be better for him to find a small county in Qianzhou and serve as a local official for a few years."

"It's just a point. I don't know if the Li family has any objections."

The old lady narrowed her eyes and said, "When you marry into the Shen family, naturally Shen Zhao's future is your top priority."

"Princess Yongjia should understand this."

Shen Zhixiu nodded in agreement, "That's what mother said."

Shen Zhao, who was gritting his teeth and enduring severe pain, didn't know yet that his future was decided by Shen Zhixiu and the old lady in just a few words.

Ms. Chen was pacing back and forth on the ground, while Dr. Zhang, the government doctor, was looking for the buried silver needle in Shen Zhao's shoulder with a serious look on his face.

The found silver needle was pulled out by Doctor Zhang with tweezers. Shen Zhao bit the cotton towel in his mouth, sweating profusely from the pain.

Mrs. Chen was so angry that she yelled, "What's going on? How could an aunt be so cruel?"

Then he asked Zi Yan, the maid next to him, "Have you asked? What did that little bitch say?"

Zi Yan replied, "Madam Cheng has woken up, but she is being watched by the maidservant next to the Third Madam, so I cannot go up to her."

Mrs. Chen was a little unhappy, "What is Su Qingyu doing?"

Then he said in a deep voice: "They are cousins, they won't work together to set a trap for the eldest young master, right?"

Zi Yan stood aside and said nothing, thinking that the third lady and Aunt Cheng had been incompatible with each other for a long time. How could the two of them plot against the young master together.

Doctor Zhang bandaged Shen Zhao, prescribed medicine and ordered people to boil it.

Aunt Hua, who was beside the old lady, suddenly walked in, "Madam, the old lady has asked you to take the eldest young master to Qingyuan Residence."

Mrs. Chen was a little unhappy, "The young master is so injured, how can he get there? The doctor said it's best to stay in bed and recuperate for a few days."

In fact, Shen Zhao's injuries were not serious. He just cut some flesh because he was looking for a silver needle. It was at the shoulders again, so the doctor told him to move as little as possible to avoid stretching.

Aunt Hua's attitude was respectful, "If the eldest lady plans to reply to the old lady like this, then the old slave will go and deliver the message like this."

In the end, when the old lady got angry, it was the eldest lady who took the blame.

Mrs. Chen's expression changed again and again when she heard this, "Mommy, go and report to mother. I'll take Zhao'er there right now."

After saying that, he ordered his servants to prepare the sedan chair and asked Doctor Zhang, who was writing prescriptions, to accompany him.

In the side hall of Qingyuan's residence, the old lady, Shen Zhiheng, Shen Zhixiu and Su Qingyu were all sitting upright.

Cheng Rujin was already kneeling on the ground, his face as pale as paper, his messy hair falling down, and he looked extremely weak.

Mrs. Chen helped Shen Zhao in and glared at Shen Zhiheng first. In the past two days, Shen Zhiheng only cared about doting on Xiangdong. When such a big thing happened to his son, he didn't even go over to take a look. Mrs. Chen was very dissatisfied.

When Chen and Shen Zhao sat down, the old lady asked.

"What's going on? Why did Aunt Cheng leave the house? And she used a hidden weapon to harm the young master."

When Su Qingyu heard the old lady's question, she stood up and walked to the middle of the hall.

"Mother, this may have happened because of me."

Today she wanted to take a pre-emptive strike and put Shen Zhao into a situation where he was unkind and intended to murder his elders.
