Shen Yue was pulled by Li Yunzhou to sit down and told him what she had just heard in Qingyuanju.
She was not a spoiled or pretentious person. She couldn't help feeling aggrieved when she saw Li Yunzhou just now, and her tears dried up while she was talking.
After that, he started cursing again, "The Rong family is too shameless. If you make me angry, I will tell you everything that happened yesterday. I will risk my reputation and I will not let the Rong family have an easy time."
Shen Yue appeared gentle on the surface, but in reality, she was very opinionated. Her thoughts, which had been in a state of panic just now, had calmed down.
Li Yunzhou listened quietly to Shen Yue's words, with a layer of obvious murderous intent in his eyes. When Shen Yue looked at her, he instantly returned to normal.
He whispered to comfort her, "From what you said, the old lady probably didn't take it to heart at all. She's just trying to put the Rong family off."
"Don't worry, the teacher and his wife won't agree to marry you to Rong Huai."
Shen Yue felt more at ease after hearing what Li Yunzhou said. She also knew that her grandmother, uncle, and aunt would not agree. She had just been so upset that she hurried to the west courtyard.
Li Yunzhou was relieved to see that her expression had eased a lot.
"Don't worry about the Rong family's affairs. No matter how Princess Rong acts, it's useless. Even if she goes to the palace to ask the emperor for a marriage, she won't get what she wants."
Shen Yue looked at Li Yunzhou doubtfully. He spoke so confidently. Did he have any good ideas?
Just as she was about to ask, Wenzhu came in and said, "Fourth Young Master, Third Young Miss, there's no one in the Third Master's study right now. Who of you would like to go in first?"
Li Yunzhou stood up and said, "I just have two words to say to the teacher and then I'll leave."
He hurried into Shen Zhixiu's study, and sure enough, he came out after a while, nodded at Shen Yue, and left.
Afterwards, Wenzhu invited Shenyue in again. After Shenyue came in, she told Shen Zhixiu what had just happened.
Shen Zhixiu's expression was stern. "I know about this matter. You can go back and accompany your grandmother without any worries."
Shen Yue nodded. Shen Zhixiu and Li Yunzhou's words had calmed her down.
After Shen Yue left, Shen Zhixiu called Wen Zhu in and said, "Tonight, go to the Rong family..."
Wenzhu's expression remained unchanged, "Yes, Third Master."
When Shen Yue returned to Qingyuanju again, the people from the Rong family had already left, and Li Chaoyun had also gone back.
The old lady did not mention anything about the Rong family to Shen Yue, but as usual, the two of them took a walk and chatted.
The next morning, Shen Zhixiu had already gone to court, and Su Qingyu got up to dress up.
Feicui walked in quickly, "Madam, the Rong family... is here to announce the death."
Su Qingyu stopped putting on her earrings and asked, "Is it... the Prince of Rong?"
For some reason, when she heard that the Rong family came to announce the death, she remembered what Shen Zhixiu said yesterday, that the Rong family came to propose to Shen Yue.
Could it be that the Third Master had done this and dealt with Rong Huai privately? This was not impossible.
Feicui nodded and said, "Yes, Prince Rong committed suicide for love."
Su Qingyu was stunned. "Suicide for love?"
She thought Rong Huai might be assassinated, poisoned, or even burned to death, but she never imagined he would commit suicide for love.
"I heard that Prince Rong left a suicide note and finally died by crashing into the eldest lady's coffin. By now, the whole capital has spread that Prince Rong has a deep love for the eldest lady."
Su Qingyu put the Dongzhu earrings on her earlobes and looked at them carefully in the bronze mirror.
"I'm going to see the Third Miss."
When Shen Yue heard that Rong Huai had died, her eyes lit up at first, then her brows furrowed.
"Suicide for love? Would someone like him commit suicide for Chen Wu?"
If Rong Huai really had deep feelings for Chen Wu, how could he do such a thing?
So this suicide for love was probably just a cover.
She recalled Li Yunzhou's words of comfort yesterday, and suddenly panicked. Could it be Brother Yunzhou? Had he avenged Rong Huai for her?
It is not a pity that Rong Huai died, but if the Rong family knew that it was Li Yunzhou who did it, it would be a huge trouble.
Su Qingyu noticed that Shen Yue looked a little strange and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Shen Yue shook her head and suppressed the thoughts in her heart.
When Su Qingyu returned from Shen Yue, she met Li Chaoyun on the way who was going to Rong Junwang's mansion to pay tribute.
Li Chaoyun's face looked unhappy, even ugly.
Seeing Su Qingyu coming towards him, Li Chaoyun reluctantly stepped forward and saluted.
"Third Aunt is well."
Su Qingyu nodded, "Is the princess going to pay tribute to Prince Rong?"
Li Chaoyun thought about it all morning and always felt that the deaths of Rong Huai and Shen Wu were closely related to Shen Zhixiu and his wife.
When Su Qingyu asked, he gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes, Third Aunt, are you coming?"
Su Qingyu shook her head and said, "I won't go today. The Third Master will go."
"When the princess arrives, she must burn some incense for them both. Sigh, how could these two people just be gone?"
"I don't know who is gossiping about this to the young lady, and isn't he afraid of retribution?"
Li Chaoyun gritted her teeth, feeling that Su Qingyu was hinting at her. Did she know something?
It was unlikely. When she spoke to Chen Wu that day, there was no one else around. How could Su Qingyu know something that Rong Huai didn't know?
It's okay for these two to die, but luckily she wasn't implicated. Killing someone with someone else's knife was the best strategy, and even if they couldn't kill him, it wouldn't affect her.
Li Chaoyun smiled wryly, "Third Aunt is right. Every wrong has its perpetrator. If the eldest lady's ghost is still lingering, who will it find?"
Su Qingyu chuckled, "Fortunately, your third uncle and I are upright and honest, so we are not afraid."
Li Chaoyun was so angry that his chest heaved. He bowed and left quickly.
Looking at Li Chaoyun's back, Su Qingyu narrowed her eyes slightly. This princess was really efficient and effective in her work.
In the evening, Su Qingyu was lying on the bed drowsy after taking a bath when Shen Zhixiu came back.
She wanted to get up and help him change clothes, but he stopped her, "Don't get up, I'll go wash up in the back myself."
Soon, Shen Zhixiu finished washing up, changed into fresh and clean pajamas and lay down on the bed.
"How is the Rong family?" Su Qingyu asked softly.
"Prince Rong is naturally heartbroken, and the princess is also ill."
"Today, Prince Rong and I mentioned the two children left behind by Chen Wu, and he promised to arrange for someone to take care of them."
Su Qingyu thought about it, then hesitantly asked, "Third Master, was it you who did what happened to Rong Shizi?"
Shen Zhixiu shook his head, "It really wasn't me."
But the result is no different.
Su Qingyu was stunned. "It's not you? Then who is it? Does Rong Huai have other mortal enemies?"
Shen Zhixiu raised his eyebrows, "I guess you can't imagine that it was Li Yunzhou who did it."
Wen Zhu came to see him early this morning and met Li Yunzhou while doing business at night. Because Li Yunzhou made the first move, Wen Zhu had been waiting on the side, which was considered to be a cover for Li Yunzhou.
"Li Yunzhou? Why would he attack Rong Huai?"
After Su Qingyu asked this question, she thought of another possibility.
"Third Master, do you think he won't have other thoughts about Shen Yue?"
