Zhang Pan did not give up and blocked Shen Yue's way again.
"Sister Shen Yue, I didn't agree with the previous cancellation of the engagement. But I couldn't persuade Grandma at the time, so I wronged you."
"Now I have convinced my grandmother, and she agrees to our reengagement."
Shen Yue didn't want to say much to him. She didn't have Zhang Pan in her heart, so it would be useless to say anything.
But when Zhang Pan said these two words, Shen Yue became angry.
She wasn't a quarrelsome person by nature, and usually spoke softly. But that didn't mean she was willing to be treated like a fool.
Shen Yue stopped and looked at Zhang Pan with a stern face.
"I heard that the young marquis was severely punished for not breaking off the engagement?"
Zhang Pan was delighted to see that Shen Yue knew about this.
"Since you know this, you should understand my determination. I don't want to cancel the engagement or bring it up again, and it's not because Lord Shen has come back to life."
A mocking smile appeared on Shen Yue's lips. "Then what was the final result after the young marquis was punished?"
Zhang Pan's expression froze as he explained, "My grandmother is old, and I can't disobey her. But you must believe that I really want to marry you, and I will never lie."
Shen Yue chuckled, "So? You broke off the engagement on the third day after my third uncle's funeral. Is that true?"
"You can't disobey the old lady. You have a reason for everything you do."
"Then let me ask you, what will you do if the old lady gives me a hard time after we get married?"
"After we get married, what will you do if the old lady forces you to do something that will hurt me?"
"What if after many years of childlessness, the old lady forces you to divorce your wife?"
Shen Yue's questioning made Zhang Pan sweat on his forehead.
He wanted to say that he could handle it. He would not do anything to let Shen Yue down, would not let his grandmother make things difficult for her, and would not divorce her.
But the mocking look in Shen Yue's eyes was like a loud slap in his face, stopping him from saying anything.
He couldn't even make the decision about marriage, let alone the things Shen Yue mentioned?
This was the first time Zhang Pan felt useless. It turned out that he could do nothing.
In order to make him give up, Shen Yue emphasized her tone.
"I know that the young marquis values filial piety, and there's nothing wrong with that. Then please follow the old lady's wishes and find a good marriage. There's really no need to disobey her for my sake."
After saying this, Shen Yue raised her foot to leave.
Zhang Pan grabbed her arm and said, "What if I change? I will never let grandma get involved in these matters again."
Shen Yue frowned, "Young Marquis, please respect yourself."
As she spoke, she tried to break free from Zhang Pan's grip. But Zhang Pan was a military commander, and was no match for Shen Yue.
Seeing this, Su Qingyu, who was in the carriage, was about to get off.
Before she got out of the car, she saw a figure approaching Shen Yue, grabbing Zhang Pan's hand and throwing him aside.
Seeing Li Yunzhou coming, Su Qingyu sat down again. Compared to Zhang Pan, she trusted Li Yunzhou more. With Li Yunzhou here, the matter was simple. Zhang Pan could no longer pester her.
After Li Yunzhou shook off Zhang Pan, he said coldly, "Young Marquis, what are you doing? Bullying others by taking advantage of your power?"
"Li Yunzhou, this is none of your business. Get out of here." Zhang Pan stood up straight and glanced at Li Yunzhou.
Li Yunzhou stood in front of Shen Yue and said, "I won't leave today, what can you do?" He turned around and asked Shen Yue, "Do you want to go back to the inner courtyard or go out? I'll take you there."
The stiff expression on Shen Yue's face relaxed instantly when she saw Li Yunzhou.
"Brother Yunzhou..."
Zhang Pan was sensitive and noticed at a glance that Shen Yue looked at Li Yunzhou with an unusual look in her eyes.
"No wonder you're unwilling to discuss marriage with me again. It turns out you're attracted to this pretty boy."
Zhang Pan had a bad temper. He was angry at the moment and spoke without thinking.
Shen Yue was completely enraged upon hearing this and looked at Zhang Pan coldly.
"Young Marquis, you only look for the reasons in others. Don't you ever reflect on yourself?"
"You are the dignified Marquis Xuanwu, and you are almost twenty years old, but you are still hiding under the wings of the old lady. Even if you can't go to the battlefield and make achievements like the ancestors of the Zhang family, please act like an upright man and don't disgrace the Zhang family's integrity."
Li Yunzhou's eyes were filled with admiration. "Sister Shen Yue said it well. I also look down on people like this."
Then a young girl's angry voice was heard, "The Zhang family is full of loyal and brave people. You are going too far by saying this about the young marquis."
Shen Ying came over at some point and looked at Shen Yue and Li Yunzhou with anger on her face.
Then he walked up to Zhang Pan and asked, "Is the young marquis all right? Don't worry, I will report this to my mother and grandmother and punish her severely."
Zhang Pan didn't even look at Shen Ying, his eyes were always on Shen Yue.
"You actually look at me like this?"
Shen Yue didn't want to say anything more and had no interest in leaving the house.
Said to Li Yunzhou: "Brother Yunzhou, I'm going back first."
Zhang Pan did not give up and continued to move forward.
Li Yunzhou walked over to Zhang Pan and put his hand on his shoulder. "Young Marquis, how about we go out and have a fight?"
Although the tone was gentle, the provocation was clear.
Zhang Pan said coldly, "Go ahead, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Li Yunzhou smiled and said, "It's a deal. If you lose, you are not allowed to bother Sister Shen Yue anymore."
Shen Yue quickly stopped and turned back, "Brother Yunzhou, what are you doing? Don't fight."
Zhang Pan has been personally taught by the old Xuanwu Marquis since he was a child. How could Li Yunzhou be his opponent?
Li Yunzhou turned around and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, no one will die."
As he said this, he dragged Zhang Pan out of the house.
Shen Ying looked at Zhang Pan's leaving back and glanced at Shen Yue coldly.
"Third sister is really a foxy girl. Seeing the young marquis and Young Master Li Si doing things for you, are you particularly happy?"
Shen Yue has never gotten along with Shen Ying and is too lazy to pay attention to her.
"Second sister, be careful with your words. These words are not for a young lady from the inner house like you to say."
After rolling her eyes at Chen Ying, Chen Yue turned around and returned to the inner house with the servants.
Shen Ying stared at Shen Yue's back with a gloomy look, and said through gritted teeth: "Just wait for me."
Only after everyone had left did Su Qingyu get off the carriage and return to the west courtyard.
It was the height of summer, and one would be covered in sweat after going out. So the first thing Su Qingyu did after returning home was to take a shower and change clothes.
As I came out of the bathroom and put on my clothes, I saw Chuntao hurriedly walking in.
"Madam, the maidservant next to the Third Miss just came. She said that the First Madam called the Third Miss over and is interrogating her."
Su Qingyu was stunned. "Interrogation? Interrogation of what?"
"They said that the third young lady was causing trouble in the harem." Chuntao replied.
Su Qingyu's expression changed, "Nonsense."
She knew that this must be related to Shen Ying, so she quickly asked Zhenzhu to put her hair into a simple bun, and then took people to Chen's yard.
In the side hall of the main courtyard of the eldest house, when Su Qingyu arrived, Shen Yue was kneeling on the ground, with two maids holding her down behind her.
Su Qingyu walked in with a smile, "I came to see my sister-in-law, what's going on? Why is the third young lady kneeling?"
