Old Lady Zhang had been heartbroken these days and was frail. She had forced herself to leave the city today.
After hearing Su Qingyu's words, he staggered, his eyes showing a hint of confusion. Then, his eyes were filled with anger.
Su Qingyu didn't give her a chance to speak and continued speaking loudly.
"You regret getting engaged now. Wasn't it your Zhang family who took the initiative to propose marriage?"
"Do you think I don't know? Your Zhang family decided to arrange a marriage because they saw that the Third Master had entered the cabinet and doted on this niece."
"Then the news of the Third Master's death spread, and before anything happened, your Zhang family was already rushing to cancel the engagement."
"That's fine, we don't care. But after the Third Master returns safely to the capital, you actually want to continue the marriage. To put it bluntly, don't you still value the power of the Shen family?"
"You're talking so high-soundingly now, but do you think you're still worthy of our Shen family's daughter? Even if something happened to Xuanwu Hou, it was because of you. If you hadn't locked him up by your side, would he have been able to quietly go to the battlefield in the northern border?"
In order to make sure that Old Lady Zhang could hear clearly, Su Qingyu not only spoke loudly, but also deliberately slowed down her tone.
Everyone present was shocked by these words, even Li Chaoyun gave Su Qingyu a thumbs up in his heart.
Who would dare to provoke this old lady Zhang in her current state? If you're not careful, you can easily make someone angry to death.
The entire Zhang family died on the battlefield, full of loyal heroes. If the old lady died of anger, who would be held responsible?
Even when Li Chaoyun was talking to her just now, he didn't dare to stand too close.
After Su Qingyu finished scolding, she felt relieved. If Zhang Pan was dead, she would not dare to say this. But since Zhang Pan was still alive, she had no scruples. She also had to make the Zhang family give an explanation to their daughter of the Shen family. Why did she slander Shen Yue's reputation like this?
Old Lady Zhang's chest heaved with anger as she pointed at Su Qingyu, "You...you...even if you were your husband, you wouldn't dare speak to me like that. Who the hell do you think you are?"
Su Qingyu straightened her back and said, "The old lady asked me what I am. I am the third wife of the Shen family, Shen Yue's third aunt, and the head wife of the Shen family."
"My Shen family respects the old lady, and we also respect the loyalty and bravery of the Zhang family. But this is no reason for our daughter of the Shen family to be humiliated. Even if we go to Ganyang Palace, this lady will still say this."
After saying that, Su Qingyu flicked the hem of her skirt and turned back to Shen Yue.
The old lady was about to chase Su Qingyu to argue when she suddenly saw a group of cavalrymen rushing towards them on the official road not far away. Leading them was a general wearing silver armor, with a large flag with the word "Li" flying high beside him.
When we got closer, we could see two coffins side by side on the carriage through the gaps in the crowd.
Shen Yue covered her mouth and nose with her hands, and leaned unconsciously on Su Qingyu.
Su Qingyu supported the person and said, "Don't cry."
Even as she tried to persuade him, she was choking with sobs and unable to speak. Thinking of her brother's experience in Quanyan Valley, Su Qingyu felt a wave of fear. It was so close that her brother had to be carried back to the capital in a coffin.
Li Chaoyun supported Old Lady Zhang, Su Qingyu held Shen Yue's arm, and together with the large group of maids, old women and guards who were accompanying them, they arrived at the roadside.
The one who escorted the coffin containing the armor back to Beijing this time was Li Yunhuai, the third young master of the Li family.
Everyone dismounted and saluted Old Lady Zhang, Madam Shen San, and Princess Chaoyun.
Afterwards, all the soldiers stood on both sides, revealing two coffins with the two men's names engraved on them.
Shen Yue staggered to the coffin with the name "Li Yunzhou" engraved on it and burst into tears.
"Brother Yunzhou..."
Su Qingyu turned her face away, not even knowing how to persuade him.
The old lady of the Zhang family was also crying beside Zhang Pan, but while crying, she suddenly came to Shen Yue's side.
"You unlucky star, I must avenge my grandson today."
While cursing, he grabbed Shen Yue's collar and raised his hand to hit her.
The old lady of the Zhang family, who was so weak that she could not stand the previous moment, now looked like a shrew at the east end of the village, completely undignified.
Even Su Qingyu, who was standing next to Shen Yue, was pushed and almost fell.
This moment came suddenly, and by the time everyone reacted, Old Lady Zhang had already grabbed Shen Yue and was beating her.
Su Qingyu was furious. This old woman was truly lawless.
"Jiang Qi, pull him away from me. What kind of behavior is this?"
Li Chaoyun gave Li Yunhuai a look, then pretended to step forward to stop the fight, but consciously protected Old Lady Zhang.
Li Yunhuai understood what he meant and immediately drew his sword to stop Jiang Qi. "They are all women. It is against the rules for the guards to go forward."
In this regard, he and his sister Li Chaoyun cooperated well with each other. This was how they bullied Li Yunzhou before.
Although Li Yunhuai chose literature over martial arts, it was because he was unwilling to endure hardships and told his family that he liked to study classics, history, and literature.
In fact, he was not soft-hearted when it came to bullying. When he was in the mansion, most of the time it was Li Chaoyun who did the fighting and he was the one who gave the advice.
Jiang Qi only brought ten people with him, but Li Yunhuai brought 20,000 troops who were preparing to return to Beijing to receive the title and change of guard.
Su Qingyu was so angry at this moment that she pulled out the knife from Jiang Qi's waist and pointed it at Li Yunhuai.
"Get out of the way."
At this moment, Li Yunhuai's close guards were all on the side and directly stopped Su Qingyu's people.
Behind Li Yunhuai were Old Lady Zhang and Shen Yue who were fighting, as well as Li Chaoyun who was trying to take advantage of the situation.
When Li Yunhuai saw Su Qingyu pointing a knife at him, he didn't take it seriously at all.
He didn't believe that this Third Madam Shen would dare to take action. He was afraid that she wouldn't even dare to step on an ant to death on ordinary days.
"Mrs. Shen San, calm down. My sister is trying to stop the fight. If you bring the guards forward, it will be bad if you offend the women."
