Su Qingyu's words brought back the panicked thoughts of several people.

The old lady had no idea at this time and handed the document in her hand to Su Qingyu.

Su Qingyu was also curious in her heart whether Zhao Ji understood the deep meaning of her words yesterday.

She stepped forward quickly, took the document from the old lady's hand and started reading.

The smile flashed in his lowered eyes. Zhao Ji is really interesting and a talented person.

She said yesterday that if her second uncle could defend Qianzhou, he would also be able to defend the capital.

Zhao Ji directly sent people to guard the city gate, and they were ordinary soldiers.

Su Qingyu clenched the document with her green and white fingers and said angrily.

"How could this happen? What is the third sister doing?"

He also came to his senses and said through gritted teeth, "Does this mean that everything she said has been done? It's better not to do it."

She would rather let Su Chengyan idle at home than go over to guard the city gate.

Su Chengye and Su Chengyan were men after all, so they didn't react as strongly as He did, but their expressions almost sunk to the bottom.

Especially Su Chengyan, asking him to guard the city gate is tantamount to putting his face on the ground.

The old lady looked at Su Chengyan and He in confusion, "Have you offended Prince Zhao?"

After thinking about it, she always felt that there was something wrong with it. If there was no grievance or enmity, how could Prince Zhao let Su Chengyan guard the gate?

Not to mention that he is married to a daughter of the Su family. Even if there is no such relationship, there is no reason to let the children of the aristocratic family guard the city gate.

Unless Su Chengyan and the He family had offended Zhao Ji during their years in Qianzhou.

Su Chengyan and Mr. He looked confused. Su Chengyan shook his head and said, "Although I am in Qianzhou, I am not a close confidant of Duke Wei. Not to mention offending him, I have never met Prince Zhao even a few times."

Several people were puzzled and didn't understand what Zhao Ji meant by this move.

Before he could come up with a countermeasure, a servant came in to report.

"Madam, the Third Miss and Prince Zhao are coming home. They are already at the gate."

Several people had completely forgotten about Su Yihui's return home, and only at this moment did they suddenly remember that there was still a matter of returning home.

Seeing that everyone had no idea, Su Qingyu took the initiative and said, "Father, you and your second uncle should go and greet Prince Zhao."

"When they finish kowtowing to grandma later, you will take Prince Zhao to the outer courtyard to drink tea. Let's ask the third sister privately what is going on."

"Perhaps there may be some misunderstanding here."

After hearing this, the old lady glanced at Su Qingyu approvingly, "Qingyu is right, let's calm down first. There is still room for easing this matter, and you will do what Qingyu said in a while."

He also looked at Su Qingyu gratefully, "Second Aunt has run out of ideas, and I'll need your help later."

Su Qingyu comforted Mrs. He, "Second aunt, don't worry, I will ask third sister carefully later."

Not long after, Su Chengye and Su Chengyan welcomed Zhao Ji and Su Yihui in.

Su Yihui came in with joy. The second uncle should have received the appointment document. She finally lived up to expectations.

When she entered the door and saw He looking at her inexplicably, Su Yihui didn't think much, thinking that He was excited.

When her eyes fell on Su Qingyu, Su Yihui was even happier. Today was a rare opportunity for her to step on Su Qingyu.

Su Qingyu glanced at Su Yihui's expression and knew that she didn't know anything yet. She smiles brightly at this moment, and sometimes she cries.

Zhao Ji and Su Yihui greeted the elders of the Su family, then sat down and exchanged a few words.

Su Chengye asked Zhao Ji to go to the study room in the outer courtyard to talk. Zhao Ji didn't care, got up and followed him out with a smile.

Only the female family members of the Su family were left in the hall.

Su Qingyu said expressionlessly: "Third sister, you found it for my second uncle. It's really a good place."

When everyone in the Su family heard what Su Qingyu said, they all thought she was questioning Su Yihui because she was angry.

But hearing this tone of voice made Su Qingyu jealous in Su Yihui's ears.

She was so focused on bringing down Su Qingyu that she didn't notice that the old lady and He's faces had darkened.

Su Yihui picked up the tea cup and raised her chin proudly.

"That's natural. The place I found for my second uncle must be the best. That location is also the most suitable for my second uncle."

In fact, she didn't know where Su Chengyan was assigned. But Zhao Ji assured her yesterday that it would definitely be a good place.

Afraid of something going wrong, she used all her skills to serve Zhao Ji last night. When Zhao Ji was confused and infatuated, she asked twice, and Zhao Ji made a promise each time.

He was still suppressing his anger, but as soon as Su Yihui's words came out, He's anger also found an outlet.

She stood up, walked to Su Yihui, and slapped her.

"Where does your second uncle fit in? You are so embarrassed to say it. Su Yihui, I am not kind to you, how could you do such a thing?"

The crisp slap, the burning pain, and He's insults made Su Yihui feel in a daze.

At this time, shouldn't the whole family gather around her and say some words of thanks and compliments?

She belatedly touched her swollen cheek, then looked up at Mr. He, "What are you doing, second aunt? Did I make a mistake in helping?"

She then thought again, could it be that the second uncle and second aunt were not satisfied with the place arranged by Zhao Ji?

Even if you are dissatisfied, this shouldn't be the attitude, right?

Su Yihui suppressed the anger in her heart and tried to explain to He.

"Second Aunt, is Second Uncle dissatisfied with this place?"

He took the appointment document from the side and threw it directly in Su Yihui's face.

"Satisfied, your second uncle and I are particularly satisfied. How can we be dissatisfied with such a good place?"

Hearing the overwhelming anger in He's words, Su Yihui picked up the document and read it without caring about anything else.

"How could this happen?"

"That's not what the prince said."

Hearing this, the old lady asked in a deep voice: "Then what did Prince Zhao say? Did he say that he would let your second uncle work somewhere?"

I thought again, could it be that the document was written incorrectly?

Su Yihui shook her head, "He didn't say anything, he just said it was a good place."

The old lady was so angry that she slammed the table, "Idiot, why didn't you ask clearly?"

Su Yihui remembered how Zhao Ji pretended to be mysterious and vague every time.

He stood up and walked towards the outer courtyard.

Su Qingyu guessed that she wanted to settle a score with Zhao Ji. It would be a pity not to see such excitement.

But she couldn't go by herself, so she pretended to be worried and said to the old lady: "Grandma, why don't we go and have a look too. Firstly, we won't make a fool of ourselves, and secondly, let's listen to what Prince Zhao has to say."

The old lady thought about it and felt that Su Qingyu was right.

In this way, a group of people walked towards the outer courtyard.

When everyone arrived, they happened to hear Su Yihui questioning Zhao Ji.

"If you don't want to help, you can just say so. Are you relieved by making me look bad in my mother's house?"

"Give me an explanation. What do you mean by asking my second uncle to guard the city gate?"
