But then I thought, what if my brother really gets away?
Su Qingyu fell into a contradictory self-tangle, telling herself to stay calm, accept the fact that her brother was dead, and find a way to avenge him.
After a while, he comforted himself and said, don't panic. What if he really comes back alive? My brother must have his own plans for the Li family.
On the surface, she acted as if nothing had happened. With her comfort, Lin Wanyin also calmed down.
At a glance, he saw the cotton handkerchief wrapped around Su Qingyu's hand. He quickly grabbed her hand and asked, "What happened? Are you injured?"
Su Qingyu said nonchalantly, "When I was playing the piano, the string broke and I cut my palm."
Lin Wanyin didn't doubt it, "Why are you so careless? Apply the medicine frequently, don't leave any scars."
Su Qingyu nodded and stayed with him for half a day before leaving.
As soon as she left, the hot tears in Lin Wanyin's eyes flowed down the corners of her eyes, and she couldn't stop them.
Bai Sulian was confused. "Why is Madam still crying? Didn't you say that the young master was probably fine?"
Lin Wanyin shook her head and said, "She just wanted to comfort me. I know."
Then he covered his face with his hands and burst into tears.
Su Qingyu left the main room, her expression returning to her usual cold and aloof demeanor. Aside from her slightly red and swollen eyes, there was nothing else unusual.
When he reached the gate, he met Su Shunci who was hurrying back home.
When Su Shunci saw Su Qingyu, her eyes immediately turned red. She trotted over to her and asked, "Big sister, is this true?"
Su Qingyu gathered Su Shunci's hair and whispered, "Big sister doesn't know either. Don't worry, if he's still alive, I'll definitely find him. If he's gone, I'll definitely avenge him."
It’s more like saying it to myself rather than to Su Shunci.
Su Shunci nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, big sister, I will take good care of mother and mother. Big sister, go and investigate these things with peace of mind. If you need me, send someone to find me."
The little girl who used to rely on her sister seemed to have grown up suddenly.
Suddenly remembering something, he looked up and said, "My third cousin went to the Shen family to look for my eldest sister. You're not at home, so he might be disappointed."
When Su Qingyu heard that Lin Wuchen was looking for her, she said, "Then I'll go back now. I'll leave this place to you."
Su Shunci tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes and watched Su Qingyu get into the car.
After Su Qingyu left, Su Shunci called all the servants in the mansion together and told them what they should pay attention to recently.
He went to the kitchen again and ordered that the meals in the mansion should be lighter, with less meat and more vegetables.
He also took away the colorful clothes of several people, and even replaced their jewelry with plain warm jade.
Even if she couldn't observe mourning openly, she had to do her best for her brother.
After returning to the west courtyard of the Shen family from Yushu Hutong, Zhenzhu stepped forward to report that the third cousin's young master was waiting in the side hall.
Su Qingyu didn't even change her clothes and went straight to the side hall.
After entering, he ordered all the servants to leave, leaving only two close attendants guarding the door.
The more times like this, the more cautious she becomes and she cannot tolerate any mistakes.
From the moment Su Qingyu walked to the door, Lin Wuchen's eyes never left her, his heart and eyes full of worry.
"Cousin... sit down and talk."
Young Master Lin, who was always talkative, couldn't even say a word of comfort at this moment.
Su Qingyu sat down next to Lin Wuchen and asked, "Cousin, do you have any other news?"
Lin Wuchen said in a deep voice, "After receiving the news, I went to investigate the details of what happened. At present, the news of Li Yunzhou's death is 80% true. As for the reason behind it, we need to investigate in detail."
"Zhi Xiu hasn't come back yet, right? He should know more details."
After he confirmed the authenticity of the news today, he first comforted the tearful Su Shunci before rushing to the Shen family. He was worried that Su Qingyu would lose control of her emotions, but he didn't expect his cousin to be much calmer than he thought.
Su Qingyu thought for a moment and said, "The Lin family's caravan is also familiar with that area. I'll have to trouble my cousin to find her."
Lin Wuchen looked at her distressedly, "What trouble are you talking about? He is still my cousin. Don't worry, I have already sent the message. The Lin family will mobilize all its strength and connections to find the whereabouts of Yunzhou and Xuanwu Hou."
"If he's alive, we have to see him. Even if he's dead, we have to find his body."
"It's impossible for someone to just disappear without a clear explanation."
"But I can't interfere with military affairs. I have to rely on Zhixiu to investigate."
Su Qingyu's crystal clear eyes flickered with a faint light, and because she held the armrest of the chair too tightly, blood oozed out of the palm of her hand again.
"The military affairs need to be investigated, especially that Li Yunhuai. They talk about sending reinforcements, but I think they're just asking for his life."
"The Li family must be behind this."
Hearing the hatred in Su Qingyu's words, Lin Wuchen said, "If you attack the Li family, the Lin family will do their utmost to help."
Su Qingyu didn't say anything, but she didn't agree with Lin Wuchen's words in her heart. She couldn't let the Lin family get involved in revenge for her brother.
Lin Wuchen seemed to see what she was thinking, but he didn't say anything more. There was no need to talk about this kind of thing; he would do it when it was time.
Seeing the blood oozing from Su Qingyu's hand, Lin Wuchen frowned and pulled her wrist, "How did this happen?"
Seeing that Su Qingyu was silent, Lin Wuchen sighed, "Cousin, even for the sake of your aunt and Zhixiu, you have to take care of yourself."
Su Qingyu nodded and said she would.
After Lin Wuchen left, Su Qingyu sent someone to see Shen Yue and the old lady.
The grandfather and grandson were in the inner room of Qingyuan Residence, hugging each other and crying bitterly. Su Qingyu tried her best to persuade them, but she did not dare to stay any longer and returned.
Afterwards, she locked herself in the small study, concentrating her mind and thinking about the Li family's affairs like unraveling a thread.
If you want to touch the Li family, you must have substantial evidence.
Su Qingyu thought about it and decided to start from two aspects.
The first is to find out what Princess Yongjia did to Princess Yongning and what role Li Jingchuan played in it.
Princess Yongning's entire villa was massacred by the War King, yet a five- or six-year-old child was taken away to the Li family. And Li Jingchuan, on the other hand, only gained a firm foothold in the court by annihilating the War King's followers. There's something unclear and inexplicable about the events in between.
Secondly, we need to find out where Shen Zhao's money went, and what those people outside the city were carrying that day. Such caution is probably shameful. Shen Zhao is considered a princeling and the son-in-law of the Li family. Starting with him, perhaps we can also give the Li family a surprise.
Su Qingyu tried hard to recall all the details of her previous life, trying to find a way to pry open the Li family.
When Shen Zhixiu returned, the sky was already dark.
Hearing that Su Qingyu had been sitting alone in the small study for two hours, Shen Zhixiu hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in.
Su Qingyu was thinking about what was going to happen next when she looked up and saw a familiar figure walking in.
"Third Master, you're back."
It was a very ordinary sentence, but Su Qingyu finished it with sobs.
The heartstrings that had been tense before were broken in an instant.
