Su Yuanzhou turned around and looked at Shen Zhixiu in disbelief, "Teacher, you..."

Shen Zhixiu said softly, "You are too impatient today. There is no need to ruin your reputation over such a small matter."

"Sometimes, when dealing with elders and showing filial piety, you have to be more considerate. Being too rigid is not good."

"As for Second Uncle and Second Aunt...if they dare to do something, they must bear the consequences."

Just like Su Yuanzhou said, who knows when they will turn the tide. Should we wait until our family members are actually hurt before we take action?

He doesn't like to be beaten passively, nor does he like to be on guard against others all day long.

Su Yuanzhou took a deep breath and said, "I remember it."

Shen Zhixiu added: "Don't tell Qingyu and Shen Yue about these things."

He didn't tell Su Yuanzhou that he had already made up his mind when he entered the door and wanted to ask Wenzhu to do this.

Is it a beautiful and sunny day?

Shen Zhixiu shook his head in self-mockery. Yuanzhou really thought highly of him.

For some reason, Su Yuanzhou felt a lot more relaxed. Afterwards, the two of them talked about the affairs of the court, and chatted for a full quarter of an hour.

Seeing that the rain had subsided a lot, Su Yuanzhou said to Shen Zhixiu, "I'm going to see my uncle and aunt off, and by the way, ask who made that doll."

Shen Zhixiu said, "Go ahead. I think the rain is about to stop. When you come back, we can go back to the mansion."

The rain outside gradually subsided, and Su Chengyan and his wife packed up their gold and silver jewelry and prepared to leave the house with their children.

Su Chengyan did not take the concubines from the second house with him. Instead, he gave them indentures and money and let them leave the house.

The old lady's eyes were filled with tears. She quietly took out a lot of her own money and gave it to Su Chengyan. She also whispered to him to comfort him, saying that she would take them back after a few years when Su Yuanzhou and Su Qingyu had calmed down.

Su Chengyan said nonchalantly, "A few years? My son will be back in less than a year. By then, this matter will be over and the evidence will be gone. What else can they say?"

Su Chengyan looked like a scoundrel, relying on his elder status to feel fearless.

Hai, who was seeing him off, couldn't help but roll her eyes and secretly cursed Su Chengyan for being shameless.

When I saw him slap He before, I thought he was a reasonable person. Now it seems that he really is what he is. Both husband and wife are the same, with no sense of propriety, righteousness, or shame.

Su Chengxun prepared five hundred taels of silver notes and asked Hai to give them to He, saying that it was for his second brother and his wife to settle down in the south.

Hai was so angry that she didn't even take out the five hundred taels of silver. She just ordered someone to pack a few boxes of snacks for the family to eat on the way.

When Su Yuanzhou walked over leisurely, Su Chengyan's eyes were shocked.

"What are you doing here? I'm leaving now. You don't have to chase me out."

Su Chengyan believed that Shen Zhixiu came up with this solution out of consideration for his status as an elder.

As long as these people have some reservations, he is not afraid. What's wrong with the prince? What's wrong with the cabinet ministers? Don't they have to call him Second Uncle?

Su Yuanzhou stepped forward and said, "I want to ask Second Aunt where the doll was made."

At this time, He was standing in the corridor holding the child, and the carriage was parked not far away. The four-year-old daughter was hugging He's neck and looking at Su Yuanzhou timidly.

Su Yuanzhou didn't want to scare the child, so his tone of voice was relatively calm when he asked the question.

He hugged the child tightly and took two steps back, "What are you going to do?"

Su Yuanzhou laughed sarcastically, "What can I do? Second Aunt doesn't care about the life and death of her nephews and nieces, but I can't ignore my sister."

"Second Aunt told me where it happened. I have to find a way to resolve it."

While speaking, Su Yuanzhou touched the child's face again.

He was so frightened that she retreated again. "Don't touch my daughter. I tell you. Just go into Mao'er Hutong in the east of the city. It's the house at the innermost part. The vermilion gate."

"After you go in, look for Master Zhang."

Su Yuanzhou was slightly stunned. "Master Zhang?"

He remembered that the rune he found at Li's house that day had something written on it that said something about Heavenly Master.

Is it a coincidence or the work of one person?

Su Yuanzhou turned around and left without hesitation. After saying goodbye to Shen Zhixiu and asking them to return home first, he led his men to Maoer Hutong in the east of the city.

Several of his confidants were generals who had fought on the battlefields of the northern border. Seven or eight of them exuded the momentum of a mighty army.

Su Yuanzhou didn't intend to launch a sneak attack. He planned to break in directly and catch the turtle in the jar.

But he overlooked one thing: Zhang Tianshi was not in the mansion.

Su Yuanzhou and his men searched inside but didn't see anyone.

The little Taoist boy replied tremblingly, saying that the Taoist priest had gone out to preach.

What everyone didn't know was that Zhang Tianshi had already returned and was hiding outside the gate.

The reason why he has been able to cheat people in the capital for so many years is because of his caution.

So every time before he went out, he would look outside to see if there was anyone waiting to beat him up.

Before returning home, he also waited and watched to see if anyone would come to settle the score.

Today we can see what's going on. The door is open and sounds can be heard from inside the mansion.

Zhang Tianshi muttered, "My junior brother has been sent to the prison. I can't be careless."

He turned his eyes and left the alley, finding a private room in a nearby restaurant. The room was perfectly positioned to overlook his home. He had to see what was going on before deciding whether to go back.

Su Yuanzhou didn't find anyone, so he ordered two people to guard the mansion and the other two to guard a secret place outside the mansion.

He left with the puppet, intending to go to the Shen family. Mr. Zhou also knew a bit about witchcraft, so why not let him see what was going on?

Zhang Tianshi, sitting in the private room, saw clearly who had emerged, and there were still others hiding at the door. Although he didn't recognize them, he could tell they were all martial artists. Judging by the leader's attire and the grandeur of his carriage, he was of high status.

He knew that he might have hit a wall this time, and it seemed that he had no choice but to run.

But where to run was a problem, as he was reluctant to leave the prosperity and wealth of the capital.

After much thought, Zhang Tianshi remembered a person. It could be said that he had made the most money from this person in the past few years, and this person also trusted him.

After thinking it over, he went downstairs, paid the bill and left the restaurant.

Soon, the door of the Li family was knocked open, and Zhang Tianshi looked mysterious.

"I have something to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess."
