Nanny Zhang's expression remained unchanged as she knelt on the ground to explain.

"I have been wanting to tell Madam these past two days, but I am afraid that Madam will be upset about the Second Miss's matter and hurt her body."

"When I woke up, I went to look for the Second Miss. But the Second Miss was already with Prince Duan..."

"The old servant was just at a loss for ideas when the young princess came. As soon as she arrived, she made rude remarks and insulted the second young lady."

"The old servant felt sorry for the second young lady, so he retorted a few words. Later, when Prince Duan came out, he also protected his daughter and did not say anything. He also suspected that our second young lady did it on purpose."

"The old slave forgot about his superiority and inferiority, and he argued with Prince Duan for a few words."

"It's my fault that this old slave has caused trouble for Madam."

As Grandma Zhang said, she knocked her head to the ground. She told the truth about this matter, but she did not dare to reveal a word about Su Qingyu.

She had expected this day from the day she betrayed Chen. She can't afford to offend either of the two ladies, and she still relies on the miracle doctor next to the third lady to treat her grandson's illness. So Nanny Zhang thought about it over and over and took care of the matter alone.

Regarding what happened in Beiyuan that day, Chen didn’t know the details. She knew that this matter was related to Su Qingyu and Shen Yue, but she didn't know exactly what these two people had done.

She looked at Nanny Zhang inquiringly, "You mean, you're doing this for the second lady's benefit? Are you not being instigated by someone?"

Grandma Zhang shook her head vigorously, "How dare I do that? I was really excited and said something outrageous."

Thinking of Prince Riduan's reaction that day, Mrs. Chen always felt that things were not that simple. As Prince Duan, how could he have such a deep misunderstanding just because of a few words from a mother-in-law.

She asked a few more questions, but Granny Zhang insisted that she was just excited, so she defended Shen Ying a few words.

Thinking of her daughter's death, Chen felt as if a big stone was stuck in her chest. The tragic scene before her daughter's death was in her mind, and everyone present at the time couldn't escape from it.

So when Hongye asked her what to do with Nanny Zhang. Chen said without thinking: "Pull down and kill with the stick."

Hongye hesitated for a moment, then said, "Madam, today is the day when the eldest young master is getting married, and the princess has already entered the house. It would be bad if she knew that we would beat the servants to death on a day like this."

The more powerful a family is, the more taboo they are about these things, especially the royal family.

"Get it outside the house, don't let the princess know."

-------------------------------

Early the next morning, sunlight reflected through the window lattice and fell on the green bed curtain.

Su Qingyu's fair shoulders were exposed outside the brocade quilt, and her whole face was nestled in Shen Zhixiu's arms.

Half asleep and half awake, I always felt that my waist was sore and sore, so I changed my position two more times in a daze.

Shen Zhixiu opened his eyes, looked at the time, and knew it was time to get up.

Then he turned around and propped his head on his hands to look at Su Qingyu. He first smoothed the hair covering her face for her. Then, the hair was wrapped around his fingers again.

Su Qingyu seemed to have noticed something, or maybe Shen Zhixiu's actions disturbed her sweet dream.

She frowned at first, then buried her face in Shen Zhixiu's chest and put her hands on his lower back.

The smile on Shen Zhixiu's lips curved up again, and he lowered his head and leaned close to her ear, "Madam, I threw myself into my arms so early in the morning. It seems that what I did for my husband last night was not good enough."

Su Qingyu was still confused at first, but after Shen Zhixiu said these two sentences, she suddenly woke up.

What came to mind were all the ridiculous scenes from last night that made people blush.

Shen Zhixiu looked at Su Qingyu's white ears, which instantly turned red, and knew that she was awake.

His wife is sometimes shy, but he likes to tease her when she is shy.

He kissed the side of her face again, and pinched her waist and rubbed it.

Su Qingyu couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore, so when he kissed the corner of her mouth, she bit her in anger.

He snorted again, "Third Master is bullying people."

Shen Zhixiu's broad palm clasped the back of her head and continued to kiss the moist corners of her lips.

"This is not bullying. I will let you know what bullying is."

Su Qingyu quickly pushed the person away, "Third Master, please stop making trouble. It's time to get up. It's not good to be late for an occasion like today. Your nephew and nephew's wife are still waiting to greet you."

Shen Zhixiu also knew it was time to get up, so he stopped teasing her and got out of bed.

"It doesn't matter if you don't say hello, just don't cause any trouble for us."

These days, bad things happen to Dafang one after another.

Shen Zhixiu washed and dressed quickly, packed everything and left the inner room.

Pearl, Jade and others helped Su Qingyu put on makeup and change clothes.

Seeing Shen Zhixiu leaving, Feicui whispered in Su Qingyu's ear: "Madam, the eldest lady beat Grandma Zhang to death last night."

Su Qingyu looked at the makeup through the bronze mirror expressionlessly, and told Jade, "You take the time to go to her house and have a look. I will tell Mr. Zhou in two days and ask him to go and see the child."

She didn't care whether Nanny Zhang died or not. She didn't care what she said before she died. But she would not break her promise to Nanny Zhang.

Jade mentioned the people who had served Shen Ying before and asked Su Qingyu how to deal with them.

"Return Jinping and Yinping's deeds of prostitution to them, and give them another hundred taels of silver to return to their hometowns. As for the others, they will just be assigned to serve in various places."

Jade nodded and took note of Su Qingyu's instructions.

Today, Su Qingyu wore a long dress embroidered with light-colored pear blossoms and a hairpin with clouds and phoenix patterns on her head, which was elegant yet dignified.

When she went out, Shen Zhixiu was sitting on the big kang near the window of the banquet room, holding a book in his hand.

Seeing that Su Qingyu had packed up, Shen Zhixiu closed the book and stood up to hold her hand.

When the two arrived at Qingyuanju, the second master Shen Zhishu and the second wife Yang had already arrived.

Neither the eldest master Shen Zhiheng nor the eldest wife Chen came, but the juniors all arrived and sat on the edge in a dignified manner.

Yang rolled his eyes and said, "I heard that my sister-in-law overturned the table last night. It's true that my eldest brother made my sister-in-law so angry just because of a concubine."

Su Qingyu held tea in her hand and lowered her eyes without saying anything.

Yang was just watching the excitement and was not afraid of big trouble, but she would not step on Chen in such an occasion. Apart from talking happily, it is of no use at all, and it will also make the old lady unhappy.

Yang is a very shrewd person, but today he was a little too gloating about his misfortune.

Sure enough, the old lady glared at Mrs. Yang, "What happened in your eldest brother and your sister-in-law's room has caused you to worry."

Yang realized she had said the wrong thing and laughed twice, "My daughter-in-law just said it casually, with no other meaning."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhiheng and Chen walked in one after another. Chen's expression returned to normal, but there was still a bit of sadness in her eyebrows.

Mrs. Chen entered the door and bowed, and then said: "My second brother and sister misunderstood. I overturned the table yesterday. But it was not because of the eldest master, it was Grandma Zhang who spoke rudely and contradicted me."

One sentence not only explained the matter of flipping the table, but also smoothed over the death of Grandma Zhang.

Yang hurriedly smiled and said a few words to smooth things over, and then talked about other things, and then the matter was over.

After a while, a maid came in and reported, "Old madam, the eldest young master and the princess are here."

Immediately afterwards, a maid lifted up the fine cloth curtain, and Shen Zhao and Li Chaoyun walked in.
