She just didn't believe that Su Qingyu had never been wrong. When she caught her doing something wrong, she would take back everything that happened today.
Li Chaoyun turned and left the inner room of Qingyuan Residence, heading towards the ancestral hall. On the way, she gave her maid Danqing a look. Danqing understood and turned away when they reached a fork in the road.
Seeing that Li Chaoyun was punished like this, Yang also stood up.
"Third sister-in-law, should we tell Mother about this? I don't think the princess will accept the punishment willingly, so please don't let anyone come and bother Mother."
Su Qingyu smiled at Yang, "I know my second sister-in-law is worried about me, but mother is not an unreasonable person. She can still distinguish right from wrong."
"I have acted according to the rules today. Even if Princess Yongjia moves the emperor here, I am not afraid."
Based on what Nanny Hua had just said, she guessed that the old lady must have some opinions about Li Chaoyun, blaming her for not hiding it from Chen Yue.
Maybe the old lady is still waiting for the Li family to stand up for Li Chaoyun. If she is the old lady, this is the best time to break off the engagement with the Li family.

After another half hour, Feicui came in to report that Qiandai had been sent back. She had not seen Princess Yongjia, and she had been handed over to the Li family's steward.
Su Qingyu nodded to indicate that she understood.
On the desk was a map of the Northern Frontier, with Shen Zhixiu's markings on it. She just looked at it, carefully examining every city, every official road, and every defense.
With a creak, the study door was pushed open.
Shen Zhixiu's tall figure appeared at the door.
The expression on Su Qingyu's face suddenly became lively, as if she had found her backbone.
"Brother is really missing, right? Do you know the inside story?"
