Understanding, Su Yushan nodded. "Then we need to find someone to pick the tomatoes first. Li Yu is the best at it; he knows how ripe I need them."
"Then let him go." After saying this, Hongli pretended to suddenly realize something, "Hey? Li Yu is still being punished by kneeling, isn't he? Then you can continue kneeling!"
The Fourth Prince had already said so much, what else could Yu Ying do? She could only go with the flow, "Punishment is not the goal. As long as he sincerely corrects his mistakes, stops being impulsive in the future, and sets a good example for the servants, there is no need to punish him further."
Hongli glanced at Li Yu and reminded her, "Aren't you going to thank the Princess Consort for her tolerance and kindness?"
Stunned, Li Yu quickly expressed her gratitude and then left with Fourth Master and Princess Su.
Upon reaching the courtyard, Demin was still kneeling upright. Hongli had already walked over, but he showed no intention of getting up. Li Yu coughed and gave him a look, signaling him to follow and leave, but he still didn't move.
In Demin's view, one cannot get up unless the master gives the order.

Li Yu dared not hide it any longer and told the truth: "A few days ago, Demin said that his family had arranged for him to go on a blind date with Yunfang. He said Yunfang was very nice and he was considering it. But today he actually went on a blind date with another girl. Isn't that cheating on me? I couldn't stand his behavior, so I hit him..."
So Li Yu fought with Demin over this? Upon learning the truth, Yunfang was shocked, heartbroken, and a surge of anger rose within her.
Su Yushan understood Yunfang's feelings perfectly. Without Yunfang having to speak, Yushan directly questioned her.
"Even if someone is angry, it should be Yunfang who is angry. She hasn't said anything, so why are you meddling in Yunfang's affairs? Who are you to her?"
