Zhao Ji looked at Su Yihui with a cold face, without any trace of love and affection between newlyweds.
He glanced around at everyone in the Su family and said in a cold voice, "What? Are you questioning this prince on behalf of the Su family?"
"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like that?"
"If the Su family has any objections, they can go to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War to coordinate. If you have any objections, you don't have to return to the Duke's Mansion."
After Zhao Ji finished speaking, he walked out, intending to leave alone.
Su Yihui looked at Zhao Ji's back, then at the sullen-faced elders of the Su family. She knew no one would stand up for her.
At this time, Aunt Xue, who was hiding in the dark, bit her lip tightly and covered her mouth, not daring to make a sound. She blamed herself in her heart, wondering why she was not the mistress of the house and could not make decisions for her daughter.
But at this time, she couldn't go out and say anything, and she had no right to do so.
Seeing Su Yihui standing there at a loss, Yin Xin, Su Yihui's personal maid, leaned in and whispered, "My lady, why don't you go and ask the prince for help? If you stay in the Su family, will you have a chance to survive?"
"If I were to tell you this, it's true that you should try to coax the prince and not worry about these family matters."
When Su Yihui agreed to marry He, Yinxin had advised her against it, but Su Yihui, who was only concerned about impressing her parents, didn't take it to heart.
Hearing Yinxin say this, he hurriedly ran towards the gate.
Fortunately, the carriage hadn't left yet.
"My Lord, I know I was wrong. I beg you to forgive me this time."
Su Yihui grabbed the edge of the carriage and spoke to the inside of the carriage in a flattering tone.
After a long while, Zhao Ji said in a cold voice, "Come up."
Su Yihui let out a sigh and got on the carriage.
Along the way, Su Yihui was humble and attentive to Zhao Ji. When the two of them got off the carriage, Su Yihui's clothes were already disheveled and her eyes were seductive.
Just when she thought she could continue to be affectionate with Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji had already turned and walked towards the study.
Su Yihui took two steps towards the inner courtyard, feeling somewhat unsure. She still wanted to explain things to Zhao Ji. Then she turned around and headed towards the study.
The master and servant arrived outside Zhao Ji's study. Just as they were about to knock on the door and go in, they heard Zhao Ji's personal servant say something inside.
"My Lord, if you arrange for the Second Master of the Su Family to be stationed there, will the Su Family have any opinions?"
Su Yihui stopped, held her breath, and dared not move.
Then I heard Zhao Ji say with a smile: "Whether the Su family has any ideas or not is none of my business. I just need to do this as long as Mrs. Shen is satisfied."
Su Yihui looked shocked. Zhao Ji was looking for something in the room, making clanging sounds that covered up the sound of Su Yihui's footsteps.
Yinxin winked at Su Yihui, and the master and servant left in a hurry.
"I want to go back to the Su family. I want to tell my grandmother and second aunt that it was all Su Qingyu's idea and had nothing to do with me."
Su Yihui's eyes widened with anger, and she started walking towards the door.
Yin Xin grabbed her and said, "My lady, it's no use going back and telling her. The old lady and the second lady may not believe it."
"According to this servant, let this be a lesson for us. From now on, you should stay out of the Su family's affairs. It's true that you want to win over the prince."
Su Yihui stopped and calmed down a lot. Yin Xin was right. Even if she went back and told her grandmother and second aunt, they might not believe her.
Su Qingyu was always eloquent, and she might just say a few words to get out of the situation. Then she would be left alone, helpless, and subjected to their cold stares and angry scolding.
But she was unwilling to accept it. Everything was going smoothly, but Su Qingyu intervened and led to the current situation.
Thinking of what happened at the Su family today, Su Yihui gnashed with hatred, "Su Qingyu, sooner or later I will trample you under my feet, just wait for me."
At this time, in the inner courtyard of the Su family, Su Qingyu was sitting seriously, listening to the old lady's righteous sermon.
"Qingyu, your mother's family is your root. You must think of a way to deal with your second uncle's problem."
"Your second uncle's career is going well. If you are bullied by the Shen family in the future, he will be able to support you, right?"
The old lady has been repeating these words over and over again for a long time.
Su Qingyu sneered in her heart. If she was really bullied in the Shen family, the first people to sever ties with her would probably be the people present.
Waiting for them to support her? She was afraid that she would be bullied to death and would not be able to wait.
Su Qingyu pondered for a moment and said, "Grandmother, this document was made by Prince Zhao. The Zhao and Shen families are legitimate cousins. If Third Master intervenes now, it would be a slap in Prince Zhao's face."
"Don't even mention whether Third Master is willing or not. Even if my mother-in-law knew, I'm afraid she would be dissatisfied with me."
The old lady was startled at first, and then she admitted in her heart that what Su Qingyu said made sense, but she was unwilling to give up her inner thoughts.
"Your mother-in-law has her own ideas, so just try to appease her. It's because you're cousins that you can intervene."
A hint of mockery flashed across Su Qingyu's lowered eyes. Her grandmother had no regard for her situation in the Shen family and actually said such words.
"Grandma, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. What I mean is that Second Uncle should take up his post first, and then we can find an opportunity later."
She looked at the time again and said, "It's getting late. I'll go back home first."
Without giving others a chance to speak, Su Qingyu took her people away.
The carriage entered from the side door of the Shen family. Su Qingyu looked through the gap in the curtains and saw a person standing under a tree not far away. It was Xuanwu Hou Zhang Pan.
Zhang Pan had the typical appearance of a military commander, with sharp eyebrows and eyes. He was dressed in a dark black brocade robe with a wide brocade belt around his waist, and he stood tall and graceful.
Su Qingyu thought of Chen Yue and sighed in her heart, if it weren't for the old lady of the Zhang family, this might have been a really good marriage.
Coincidentally, when she thought of Shen Yue, Shen Yue really walked out from the inner courtyard.
Looking at Shen Yue's outfit, it seems like she's about to go out.
Su Qingyu was suspicious. Could it be that Chen Yue had made a secret appointment with Zhang Pan?
She hurriedly whispered to the driver, "Pull the carriage to the side and be quiet."
She was afraid that Shen Yue would feel embarrassed if she got off the car at this time, and she also felt that it was inappropriate for Shen Yue to contact Zhang Pan alone, so she wanted to see what was going on.
When Zhang Pan saw Shen Yue, his eyes lit up. He went straight to her and asked, "Sister Shen Yue, where are you going?"
Shen Yue was stunned when she saw Zhang Pan, obviously not expecting him to be here.
"Why is the young marquis here? I went out to buy some snacks for my grandmother. She hasn't had a good appetite lately."
Zhang Pan also said awkwardly, "I'm waiting for your elder brother. He said he's going back to change his clothes and we'll leave the house together later."
Shen Yue nodded, not wanting to say more. She was about to step over Zhang Pan and get on the carriage to leave.
"Sister Shen Yue, I was wrong before. Can you give me another chance?"
Zhang Pan stopped Shen Yue, stared at her and asked.
Shen Yue frowned slightly, not expecting Zhang Pan to be so abrupt.
"Young Marquis, you are too serious. The marriage has been called off. There is no point in saying more."
"I have to leave the house, so I won't disturb the young marquis while he waits for my elder brother."
