Along the way, Gu Deyu gave a brief report: "Madam Sun has returned to the manor. After returning, Master Sun ordered her to force Miss Sun to relinquish her management rights. Madam Sun refused, so Master Sun wanted to marry Miss Sun off to a minor family unknown to his subordinates. Madam Sun refused and committed suicide by running into a pillar..."
What a chaotic family! "A large tree has its withered branches, and a large family has its idiots," Zhao Shu thought. "This Sun Binhuai must be an idiot! He's not a real man to be so harsh on his wife and children."
Although most of the Sun family's loyal followers have been eliminated, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse. The Sun family is still a behemoth compared to ordinary families. How can the power of managing the household be handed over so easily? No wonder Madam Ma wanted to smash her head against a pillar. In this way, Sun Yun will have to observe three years of mourning, which will solve the immediate crisis.
When they arrived at the Sun family's gate, Mo Qin had already led his men to catch up. The Sun family's gate was tightly closed, and Zhao Shu had her men knock on the door for a long time, but no one answered. "Break down the side gate for me."
At this moment, people from the Marquis of Yiguang's mansion arrived and knelt down in front of Prince Yong and Zhao Shu, pleading, "Princess, please save the Marquis's mansion."
Zhao Shu's face was frosty. If she found out who was talking behind her back, she would definitely make that person pay!
He asked coldly, "What happened?"
The man recounted everything that had happened in front of the shop to Zhao Shu, and then kowtowed repeatedly, pleading, "Princess, please save the Marquis's mansion."
"In early spring, go find Physician Peng and ask him to invite Physician Zhou to come and find a coroner to examine the body." This matter is not difficult to resolve, but it will be much harder to dispel everyone's doubts about the shampoo and conditioner, and the imperial physician is the most authoritative.
After saying that, he turned to Sheng Xia and said, "Go find Fei Peng and tell him to handle things as soon as possible."
Both Chu Chun and Sheng Xia, whose injuries had not yet healed, replied with "Yes" and respectfully took their leave.
After this little incident, Zhao Shu said, "Keep banging on the door."
The soldiers trained by Mo Qin were like sharp knives; the mere side gate was quickly smashed open. Finding it unguarded, Zhao Shu and Prince Yong led their men unimpeded to Madam Sun's courtyard. Even when a few dared to try and stop them, they were quickly dealt with.
"Heh." Zhao Shu laughed mockingly. She saw that the old lady Sun, the first lady Sun, the second lady Sun, the third lady Sun, the fifth lady Sun, and most of the ladies of the Sun family were blocking the front of Sun Yun's courtyard. There were also servants and maids, who surrounded the courtyard completely.
Before Zhao Shu arrived, Yan Ruyu was followed by a dozen or so young women and five or six old women. Each of these maids and old women held a weapon in their hands and stood behind her.
"Sister Jun, you've finally arrived! The Sun family are mostly shrewish women. They're jealous of my maid's beauty." She spoke nonsense with a serious expression, her face adorable.
"You little whore!" someone on the other end said, and Yan Ruyu's lovely face instantly fell. She said with an unfriendly expression, "Who said that just now!"
“Miss, it’s her.” Her maid pointed to a nanny across from her.
"When we return to the manor later, remember to take him with you and sell him to a brothel."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shu couldn't help but take a second look at her. She was young, but she had quite a few tricks up her sleeve. No wonder she was able to come to the Sun residence alone. Yan Shiren's daughter was not to be underestimated.
Upon seeing Zhao Shu and Prince Yong, Madam Sun remained silent, while her eldest daughter-in-law, Sun Zhongshi, sneered, "This is the inner courtyard of the Sun family. Your Highness has trespassed here and brought weapons. Are you planning to slaughter us all?" She had just come from the Buddhist hall and was filled with anger with nowhere to vent it.
“Madam Sun, isn’t A-Yun your granddaughter? Is your heart black? How can you treat her like this?” Ignoring Madam Sun, Zhao Shu confronted Madam Sun directly.
"That rebellious daughter actually embezzled 50% of the Sun family's assets. I presume the princess knows about this? I must ask the princess, did you conspire with that rebellious daughter in this matter?" Old Madam Sun tried to stall for time.
But Zhao Shu knew perfectly well that she was stalling for time. She pulled a short knife from the soldier and slowly walked up to the ladies of the Sun family. “Today, whoever dares to stand in my way, I will kill. Anyway, no one will know if I kill you. Heaven, earth, you, and I will know. Your deaths will be in vain.”
After she finished speaking, the ladies of the Sun family looked at her with even more contempt. They said it was all talk and no action. Even Emperor Mingde didn't dare to touch the Sun family. Who gave a mere princess the guts to do that?
Yan Ruyu looked at Zhao Shu with admiration and said, "Sister Ajun, I will definitely not tell anyone."
"Don't believe me?" Zhao Shu gestured for Wan Dong to step forward. Wan Dong had studied with the ugly old woman for several years, and her strength was far superior to that of these pampered ladies. Some maids and servants came to stop her, but the guards drew their swords and blocked them.
Wan Dong pulled Sun Zhongshi over and threw her at Zhao Shu's feet. She struggled to get up, but Zhao Shu stepped on her hand and pressed a short knife against her cheek.
"You still have a captivating charm. Do you think you'd be even more beautiful if I made a cut on you?" Zhao Shu loved to scare people like this. Since Sun Zhongshi had no irreconcilable feud with her, she naturally wouldn't kill her.
Zhao Shu had no intention of killing, but she couldn't overcome Sun Zhongshi's own cowardice. At this moment, she was trembling with fear. "Mother, save me." She was kneeling and could only see the imposing guards and Zhao Shu's devilish eyes.
