Li Chaoyun turned around and found that Shen Yue was already at the door.
Although she didn't like her sister-in-law, she was usually polite to her because of the old lady.
"Third sister is here, come and sit down."
However, Shen Yue stared at the brightly colored Suzhou embroidered brocade skirt on Li Chaoyun, and felt that it was not only glaring but also piercing to her heart.
Brother Yunzhou's last name was Li, and the Li family had benefited so much from him. Now, before his body was even cold, they couldn't wait to wear red and green.
Shen Yue sneered in her heart, feeling sorry for Li Yunzhou and scolding the Li family for being cold-blooded.
She was not as cunning as Su Qingyu, and said, "Sister-in-law, this red is really bright."
"If I remember correctly, the eldest young master of the Li family and his family of five have only been gone for half a year. The fourth young master of the Li family has only been gone for less than half a month."
"Sister-in-law, even if you're not in mourning, you don't have to wear such bright clothes, right? If you don't know, you might think you're celebrating something."
Shen Yue is usually gentle and even speaks to servants in a pleasant manner.
This is the first time he has been so sharp and merciless.
Her words made Li Chaoyun's face change, especially when she mentioned the death of his eldest brother's family of five, it was like a sharp knife stabbing into Li Chaoyun's heart.
She knew in her heart that Shen Yue was speaking up for Li Yunzhou and mentioned Li Yunsi only to make her feel uncomfortable.
Since Shen Yue didn't give her face, she naturally wouldn't go along with it.
"Miss Third, what are you saying? I haven't seen you die for him, have you?"
"My mother is sad because of the loss of her son. I just dressed nicely to make her happy too."
"Hasn't Miss Third been pretending to be fine these days for the sake of the old lady?"
"You are sad, you treat him well, then wait for his coffin to return to the capital, and then you hit your head and die. I still respect you as a person who values friendship."
Li Chaoyun knew that Shen Yue would not commit suicide for love, so he was not afraid of the news getting out. Even if he went to Qingyuan Residence to confront her, it was Shen Yue who started the trouble first.
As her illegitimate sister-in-law, she had no right to say what clothes she wore.
Shen Yue was so angry that her anger rushed to her heart, and she said without restraint: "Don't think I don't know that you are not good to Brother Yunzhou at all."
"You're still pretending to be a loving mother and a loving brother. You're just using Brother Yunzhou's achievements to profit for yourselves."
Li Chaoyun's expression darkened slightly. What did Li Yunzhou say to her?
But even if she said anything, she wasn't afraid. Li Yunzhou was gone, and no one would believe Shen Yue's words if she told them out.
Shen Yue signaled the maid to put down the loquats, then turned and walked out.
When he reached the door, he suddenly turned back and said, "God is watching what you do. If you do some bad things too much, you will suffer retribution."
After saying that, he walked away without waiting for Li Chaoyun to react.
After Shen Yue left, Li Chaoyun no longer had the mood to try on clothes. He stared at Shen Yue's back with resentment, his eyes sinister.
Danju stepped forward and whispered, "Princess, the Third Miss won't tell anyone about what she said, right?"
Li Chaoyun sat down on the small couch and said in a cold voice, "Who can she tell? She has to have someone believe her."
After thinking for a moment, she continued, "But this princess cannot swallow this anger." She beckoned Danju closer, "Go out for a while and tell her..."
Danju nodded repeatedly, "This is a good idea, Princess. This is the truth, and she cannot deny it."
"She will just be an old maid, unable to get married. When the princess and the young master take charge of the household, she will be at your mercy."
Li Chaoyun snorted and told Danju to make sure things were done well.
After leaving Hanshui Courtyard, Shen Yue went to the West Courtyard angrily.
Su Qingyu was confused. "What happened? Why are you so angry? Who did you quarrel with?"
Shen Yue sat down on the armchair and told Su Qingyu about her trip to Hanshuiyuan today.
Especially Li Chaoyun's outfit and his arrogant attitude.
Shen Yue told the whole story in detail, including how the two of them quarreled.
Su Qingyu shook her head and said, "Why are you angry with her? She is just that kind of person. Do you expect her to cry for her brother all day long?"
Li Yunzhou's death was caused by the Li family. So Su Qingyu didn't find it strange no matter what they did.
Although Shen Yue understood this truth, she couldn't help but feel angry.
The third daughter of the Shen family, who never swore, sat on the chair in a daze and scolded Li Chaoyun for a quarter of an hour.
Su Qingyu didn't stop him. Swearing was also a way to vent emotions.
When Shen Yue finally calmed down, Su Qingyu continued, "Li Chaoyun is narrow-minded and has a habit of stabbing people in the back."
"Don't have any conflicts with her in the future. Come to me if you have any problems."
Shen Yue is simple-minded and kind-hearted. She has never experienced those things and is no match for Li Chaoyun.
Even though she was so angry today, she only cursed Li Chaoyun behind his back for a while, but she didn't have any other dirty thoughts.
But Su Qingyu's instructions were too late after all.
The next morning, Su Qingyu was pruning potted plants after breakfast when Feicui hurried in to report.
"Madam, this is bad. People are saying that our third daughter is unlucky in marriage."
"Husband-killing? Where did this come from?" Su Qingyu put down the scissors she was using to cut flowers and asked in confusion.
Jade replied, "I don't know where the news came from, but it spread all over the place early this morning."
"It is said that Marquis Xuanwu was previously engaged to the Third Miss, and Young Master Li Si also had an affair with the Third Miss, and the two families secretly arranged the marriage. Now these two people died together in the border town, it must be that the Third Miss's fate was too difficult."
Su Qingyu stood up and said in a deep voice, "Nonsense! There are always casualties on every battlefield. What does it have to do with being tough?"
If that’s the case, the only one left in the Zhang family is the old lady. Could it be that the old lady has a bad fate and has killed all the descendants of the family?
The person who said this has bad intentions and wants to ruin Shen Yue's reputation.
Thinking of the conflict between Shen Yue and Li Chaoyun yesterday, Su Qingyu suspected that this incident was related to Li Chaoyun. However, there was no evidence, and such things were difficult to verify.
Su Qingyu instructed Feicui, "Go tell Jiang Qi to put an end to the rumors for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yue walked in.
"Don't bother, just let them spread it."
"If you are unlucky, then so be it. It's best if you stay away from me in the future to avoid being unlucky for them."
Su Qingyu looked at Shen Yue disapprovingly, "We can't just let them say whatever they want."
Shen Yue was still young, and if her brother really died, she would have to remarry. For a girl, reputation was still the most important thing.
Shen Yue smiled lightly and said nonchalantly: "Even if the rumors are quelled now, we have heard what we should have heard. We can't control what others think. It's better to close the door and live a good life."
