Su Qingyu's words brought everyone back to their panicked thoughts.
The old lady was at a loss at this time and handed the document in her hand to Su Qingyu.
Su Qingyu was also curious whether Zhao Ji understood the deep meaning of her words yesterday.
She walked quickly forward, took the document from the old lady's hand and began to read it.
A fleeting smile flickered in his lowered eyes. Zhao Ji was indeed an interesting man, a talented person.
Yesterday she said that if her second uncle could defend Qianzhou, he would definitely 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 pale fingers and said angrily.
"How could this happen? What is Third Sister going to do?"
He also came back to her senses and said through gritted teeth, "Is this what she said is done? It's better not to do it."
She would rather let Su Chengyan stay at home idle than go and guard the city gate.
Su Chengye and Su Chengyan were men after all, so their reaction was not as strong as He's, but their expressions were almost as gloomy as before.
Especially Su Chengyan, asking him to guard the city gate is equivalent to stepping on his face.
The old lady looked at Su Chengyan and He Shi in confusion, "Did you offend Prince Zhao?"
She thought about it over and over again, and always felt that there was something wrong. If there was no grudge, why would Prince Zhao let Su Chengyan guard the gate?
Not to mention that he married the daughter of the Su family. Even if there was no such relationship, there was no reason to let the children of aristocratic family guard the city gate.
Unless Su Chengyan and He had offended Zhao Ji during those years in Qianzhou.
Su Chengyan and He Shi were both bewildered. Su Chengyan shook his head and said, "Although I'm in Qianzhou, I'm not a close confidant of the Duke of Wei. Let alone offending him, I've barely even met Prince Zhao a few times."
Several people were puzzled and didn't understand what Zhao Ji meant by this move.
Before they could figure out a countermeasure, a servant came in to report.
"Madam, the Third Miss and Prince Zhao are coming home and are already at the gate."
Several people had completely forgotten about Su Yihui's return home, but only now did they suddenly remember that there was still a matter of returning home.
Seeing that no one had an idea, Su Qingyu took the initiative to speak, "Father, you and Second Uncle should go and welcome Prince Zhao."
"After they kowtow to Grandmother, you can take Prince Zhao to the outer courtyard for tea. We will ask Third Sister privately what is going on."
"Perhaps there is some misunderstanding here."
The old lady glanced at Su Qingyu approvingly upon hearing this. "Qingyu is right. Let's calm down first. There's still room for easing this matter. You'll do as Qingyu says later."
He also looked at Su Qingyu gratefully, "Second Aunt has run out of ideas, and I'll need your help later."
Su Qingyu comforted He, "Don't worry, Second Aunt, I'll ask Third Sister later."
Soon, Su Chengye and Su Chengyan welcomed Zhao Ji and Su Yihui in.
Su Yihui came in with a happy look on her face. Her second uncle should have received the appointment documents. She finally lived up to everyone's expectations.
When she entered the room and saw He looking at her with a strange expression, Su Yihui didn't think much about it and thought 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 still didn't understand anything. She was smiling brightly now, but she would cry later.
Zhao Ji and Su Yihui greeted the elders of the Su family, then sat down and exchanged a few words.
Su Chengye invited Zhao Ji to go to the study in the outer courtyard to talk. Zhao Ji didn't care. He stood up with a smile and followed him out.
Only the women of the Su family were left in the hall.
Su Qingyu said expressionlessly, "Third sister, the place you found for Second Uncle is really a good one."
When everyone in the Su family heard Su Qingyu say this, they all thought that she was questioning Su Yihui because she was angry.
But to Su Yihui, this tone sounded like Su Qingyu's jealousy.
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 teacup and raised her chin proudly.
"Of course. The place I found for Second Uncle must be the best. That location is also the most suitable for Second Uncle."
In fact, she didn't know where Su Chengyan was assigned to. But Zhao Ji had assured her yesterday that it must be a good place.
Fearing that something might go wrong, she used all her skills to serve Zhao Ji last night. When Zhao Ji was distracted and infatuated, she asked twice, and Zhao Ji made a promise each time.
He had been suppressing her anger, but once Su Yihui spoke, she found an outlet for her anger.
She stood up, walked to Su Yihui, and slapped her.
"Where does your second uncle fit in? You're so shameless to say that. Su Yihui, I've been very kind to you, how could you do such a thing?"
The crisp sound of the slap, the burning pain, and He's insults made Su Yihui dazed.
At this time, shouldn't the whole family surround her and say some words of thanks and compliments?
She touched her swollen cheek belatedly, then looked up at He, "What is Second Aunt doing? Did I help you in the wrong way?"
She thought again, could it be that her second uncle and second aunt were not satisfied with the place arranged by Zhao Ji?
Even if you are not satisfied, this shouldn't be your attitude, right?
Su Yihui suppressed her anger 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 especially satisfied. How could we not be satisfied with such a great place?"
Hearing the overwhelming anger in He's words, Su Yihui ignored everything else and picked up the document to read.
"How could this happen?"
"That's not what the prince said."
Upon hearing this, the old lady asked in a deep voice, "What did Prince Zhao say? Did he say that he would assign your second uncle to a new position?"
I thought to myself, could it be that there is a mistake in the document?
Su Yihui shook her head. "He didn't say that, he just said it was a good place."
The old lady slammed the table in anger and said, "Idiot, why didn't you ask clearly?"
Su Yihui recalled how Zhao Ji always acted mysterious and was vague in his words.
He stood up and walked towards the outer courtyard.
Su Qingyu guessed that she wanted to settle the score with Zhao Ji. It would be a shame to miss such a lively event.
But she couldn't go alone, so she feigned worry and said to the old lady, "Grandma, why don't we go and take a look too? Firstly, we won't make a fool of ourselves, and secondly, we can hear 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 heard 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 exactly do you mean by asking my second uncle to guard the city gate?"
