Li Chaoyun pulled Su Xiangling to sit down, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.
"In fact, Li Yunzhou and I have never had a good relationship. Not only me, but even my cousin the Crown Prince, dislikes him and even hates him."
Su Xiangling also perked up when she heard her mention His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Why is that?"
"You just saw Li Yunzhou, a bastard who relied on my mother's favor to become very arrogant. There were a few things that happened before that really embarrassed my cousin, the Crown Prince. But my cousin was kind and generous, and didn't say much. But in his heart, he still had some complaints."
Su Xiangling pondered Li Chaoyun's words, "What does the princess mean?"
Li Chaoyun smiled faintly and said a few words in a low voice.
She spoke so quietly that Su Xiangling had to move closer to hear clearly.
"This idea, Princess, is indeed a good one. It not only prevents my father from suffering in vain, but also allows His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to vent his anger."
Su Xiangling knew that Li Chaoyun couldn't tolerate her half-brother and was just using her. But that didn't matter. They each got what they wanted, and as long as their goals were achieved, that was enough.
Seeing that she agreed, Li Chaoyun urged, "You'd better go home and see a doctor. I'll send someone to call the imperial physician right away."
"As for my cousin the Crown Prince, I will tell him."
"Also, my cousin the Crown Prince doesn't want to mention his dispute with Li Yunzhou, so don't mention it in front of him."
Su Xiangling nodded in agreement. Worried about her father's injury, she stood up, said goodbye in a hurry, and returned to the Su family with her maid.
What she didn't know was that the Su family was already in turmoil at this time.
A quarter of an hour ago, after Su Qingyu saw Hai off, she went to the main house in Yixiayuan.
When she went in, Su Chengyan was still asleep, and the court physician, Doctor Xu, was writing prescriptions and preparing medicine.
The old lady and He stayed by the bed.
Seeing Su Qingyu coming in, the old lady wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Qingyu is back, go and see your second uncle. It's a shame to see a good man beaten like this."
The old lady showed a look of relief. Su Qingyu got the news so quickly and returned home to see her second uncle, which showed that she still had this family in her heart.
Su Qingyu saluted and walked to the bedside. Seeing that Su Chengyan was still unconscious, a sneer appeared in her drooping eyes.
The old lady and He made room for them, so the person closest to Su Chengyan at this time was Su Qingyu.
He stood up and said, "Mother, I'll go see how the medicine is going."
When Su Qingyu saw He leave, she took out a hairpin while the old lady wasn't paying attention.
The next moment, the tip of the hairpin pierced Su Chengyan's armpit.
Su Chengyan screamed and sat up immediately.
Su Qingyu calmly put away her hairpin and looked at Su Chengyan coldly.
Upon hearing the voice, the old lady quickly pushed Su Qingyu away and sat down beside the bed.
"How's my son? He's screaming so loudly, is he having a nightmare?"
Su Chengyan took two deep breaths and said, "I dreamt that someone was torturing me."
Seeing that the man had woken up, Su Qingyu stood by the bed and looked down at him.
"Uncle, could you please explain why you have been so harassing and humiliating my mother today?"
Su Chengyan was stunned. He thought Su Qingyu was here to visit him, but he didn't expect that she was here to settle a score.
The old lady also looked displeased after hearing what Su Qingyu said.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your second uncle is still injured. Is now the time to say this?"
"I thought you had a change of heart and were thinking about your uncle. You're such an ungrateful person! Do you still remember your last name, Su?"
The old lady loved her second son the most. She was already heartbroken when her son was injured, and she couldn't bear it after hearing what Su Qingyu said.
Su Qingyu looked at the old lady with cold eyes, "Grandma, I am not here today as the legitimate daughter of the Su family. I am here as Lin Wanyin's daughter to seek justice for her."
"Grandmother said I couldn't be tamed. You might have forgotten that I was raised by my mother. If you count carefully, all the money I've spent since I was a child was my mother's dowry."
The old lady froze there for a moment. She almost forgot that this granddaughter was also a person who would not tolerate any injustice.
"Okay, you've finished what you said, you can leave now. Since you don't want to be the head of the Su family, you don't need to be here anymore."
Su Qingyu laughed in anger, "Is that all? Did he insult my mother with his words in vain?"
On the way to Su's house, she had already sent someone to inquire about it. What Su Chengyan said at that time was extremely unpleasant.
They said her mother had taken a lot of money from the Su family and that the original account books were all fake. They also slandered her mother for being disrespectful to her elders and treating concubines and illegitimate children poorly while she was in the Su family. They even said that she was unfaithful because she insisted on getting a divorce because she had someone else outside.
Just now when she was in Yushu Hutong, her mother didn't explain in detail because she was obviously afraid that she would worry.
Su Qingyu felt a pang of breath stuck in her chest when she thought of her mother being humiliated by Su Chengyan in public and surrounded by so many people.
Upon hearing this, the old lady asked her in a deep voice, "So what do you want? Do you still want your second uncle to kowtow to her, Lin Wanyin?"
She just said it casually, but Su Qingyu thought about it seriously for a long time.
"Forget it. I'm afraid it will shorten my mother's lifespan. Second Uncle made things difficult for my mother in public. Shouldn't he at least bring a generous gift and bow to apologize?"
We also have to beat drums and gongs to let everyone in the capital know.
Su Chengyan was a little weak, but after hearing what Su Qingyu said, he still shouted, "You're dreaming! Who the hell is she? Is she worthy of my apology?"
Just then, Second Madam He came in with the boiled medicine. Before she even put the medicine bowl down, she said in a sarcastic tone, "So, the eldest lady is here to call you to task. Your second uncle was just doing a routine job, and he got beaten like this. How dare you say this?"
