The old lady knew that Su Qingyu's intention was to see how she behaved. If she behaved well and didn't make a fuss, she would have good food, clothing, and other expenses. If she continued like this, she would have nothing.
Although she felt uncomfortable, she didn't say anything else.
Seeing this, Su Qingyu knew that her grandmother had given in. It would only happen once or twice, and then her grandmother wouldn't act like this again.
Hai originally wanted to invite Su Qingyu to have lunch, but she declined, saying that she had to go to Yushu Hutong to see her mother.
But not long after leaving the Su family's gate, a young man from the Lin family stopped Su Qingyu's car.
"Miss, the Third Young Master wants you to go to Lin's Trading Company immediately."
Su Qingyu knew that something big must have happened, and the young man must have searched several places before finding her.
The carriage drove towards Lin's business. When Su Qingyu got off, Shen Zhixiu's carriage also entered the mansion.
Fortunately, they went through the back door of the house, in the alley, where few people were walking. Otherwise, the news that Elder Shen hurried to see the third young master of the Lin family would spread throughout the capital immediately.
When they entered, they saw Lin Wuchen chatting with a middle-aged man in the living room. Both of them had smiles on their faces, and it seemed that they were having a very pleasant conversation.
The man was dressed in a blue Taoist robe, but he had an extraordinary bearing.
When Lin Wuchen saw the two people come in, he immediately stood up and introduced them, "Zhixiu, Qingyu, this is the Yunshan layman we have been looking for."
Yunshan Jushi stood up and greeted, "Master Chen, Madam Shen. It's been many years since we last met, but Master Chen is still as elegant as ever."
Seeing Shen Zhixiu's slight surprise, he explained: "I once traveled to Xiangyang and had the honor of meeting Lord Shen."
Shen Zhixiu smiled and said, "You have a good memory, Master. I was exiled to Xiangyang, that was more than ten years ago."
Yunshan Lay Buddhist waved his hand and said, "Master Chen, you are too kind. I haven't used that title for many years. My surname is Liu, and my given name is Fangcheng."
Shen Zhixiu was cautious and asked, "Is the seal still there?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Fangcheng immediately pulled out a seal from his pocket and said, "Fortunately, I haven't lost it all these years. Otherwise, this Third Young Master Lin would probably think I was trying to cheat him out of his money."
This was obviously a joke, and both he and Lin Wuchen laughed.
Su Qingyu was curious, "What do you mean?"
This guy doesn't look like he's short of money.
Just as Lin Wuchen was about to explain, Li Yunzhou also hurried over. Everyone had no choice but to introduce themselves again and exchange greetings.
After learning about Li Yunzhou's identity, Liu Fangcheng became obviously closer to him.
After they sat down, Lin Wuchen began to explain the reason. It turned out that today, Lin Wuchen was drinking tea in the lobby on the second floor of Ruyi Building, and Liu Fangcheng suddenly sat down across from him.
He asked as soon as he opened his mouth: I heard that you were the one who offered a reward of 30,000 taels of silver to find me?
Lin Wuchen was shocked, and then after asking carefully, he found out his identity.
When Liu Fangcheng asked him what was going on, Lin Wuchen brought up the painting and the child. Unexpectedly, Liu Fangcheng blurted out that the child was not Yongning's biological child, but was picked up on the roadside.
Lin Wuchen was so frightened that he dared not talk anymore. He immediately took his people back to Lin's Trading Company and quickly sent someone to call for help.
Shen Zhixiu spoke first and asked, "Sir, may I ask what is your relationship with Princess Yongning?"
At that time, even the emperor did not know the existence of this child, but this person was able to enter the villa to paint. It seems that he has a close relationship with Princess Yongning.
When mentioning Princess Yongning, Liu Fangcheng's eyes were filled with deep sadness.
"My father used to be a painter in the palace, and Princess Yongning once studied painting under my father."
"Later, she moved out of the palace and lived in a separate courtyard. She often called me over to discuss painting together."
Li Yunzhou suddenly asked, "Sir, do you know how she died? Was King Zhan really so cruel as to kill her?"
Liu Fangcheng's expression froze for a moment, then he shook his head and said, "I don't know how she died, but it's definitely not the War King."
Shen Zhixiu looked at him in surprise, "Sir, can you explain it in detail? Why can't it be the War King?"
Liu Fangcheng was speechless for a moment, as if he was lost in memories.
After a long while, he finally spoke: "Although Prince Zhan and the current emperor are not born of the same mother, they both grew up under the care of the late Empress Dowager."
"Princess Yongning was raised by Prince Zhan when she was little. Prince Zhan doted on this sister to the core."
"Later, the dispute between the Emperor and Crown Prince Zhan for the throne became increasingly unbearable. Princess Yongning felt it was inappropriate to help either of them, and since she refused to persuade either of them, she moved out of the palace alone."
Li Yunzhou was stunned. "Didn't she move to the other courtyard out of sadness because Li Jingchuan got married?"
He always thought that Princess Yongning moved out to live alone because she was heartbroken.
Liu Fangcheng looked disdainful. "Li Jingchuan? Who the hell is he? Why would Yongning move out of the palace for him?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him in surprise, Liu Fangcheng told them about the dispute between Princess Yongning and Li Jingchuan.
After he finished speaking, no one in the room spoke for a long time.
Su Qingyu couldn't help but speak, "Is that so? Li Jingchuan...he also..."
Su Qingyu couldn't find the right words for a moment, she just felt very aggrieved, and felt aggrieved for Princess Yongning.
If she were framed like this after her death, even if she turned into a ghost, she would not let these people go.
Lin Wuchen then said to Li Yunzhou, "I found two people who used to serve in the Li family. They both saw Princess Yongjia whipping you. They said... sometimes she even used chili water. Is that true?"
Su Qingyu exclaimed in shock upon hearing this: "Chili spray? How dare she do such a cruel thing?"
Liu Fangcheng also looked at Li Yunzhou, "Why did she do this to you? Is she seeking revenge on Yongning?"
Li Yunzhou nodded, his expression calm.
Liu Fangcheng slammed his palm on the table in anger. "How could she do this? This vicious woman, Yongning, would be so distressed if he knew how much you've suffered."
"After she found you, she asked around to find out who had lost a child. When she couldn't find any, she adopted you as her own son."
Li Yunzhou lowered his head. He didn't have much impression of Princess Yongning, but he still remembered how she looked when she died.
If he doesn't find out what happened back then, he would feel unworthy of her upbringing.
Li Yunzhou turned to look at Shen Zhixiu, "Teacher, what should I do now?"
Shen Zhixiu thought for a moment and said, "In the evening, let's quietly go to the palace. I'll explain my life story to the Emperor and ask him to revoke your title of Prince of Ning."
Since Liu Fangcheng, an insider, came to Beijing and met Li Yunzhou, it means that Li Yunzhou knows his life experience.
Now that I know, I can no longer hide it from the emperor.
Shen Zhixiu never takes any chances in such matters.
Li Yunzhou nodded seriously and said, "I understand what you mean, teacher, and I also know what to say when entering the palace."
Su Qingyu looked at Li Yunzhou excitedly. Her brother's life story was now known, and it would not be long before they, her siblings and her mother, could recognize each other openly.
