The Zhang Mansion was not far from the Prince of Yan's Mansion where Su Qian lived. Zhang's father was at least a captain at the city gate. He had held an official position in the past and had bought a nice house in Qingzhou City.
Su Qian took a carriage and went there. It was not far and they arrived soon.
Bai Ying went to knock on the door. Not long after, a servant from Zhang's residence opened the door. Seeing Bai Ying, he asked in confusion, "Who are you? What brings you here?"
Bai Ying: "My wife is the Princess of Yan. She has brought gifts here today and would like to see the Captain. Could you please tell her to come in?"
After saying that, Bai Ying quietly stuffed a silver ingot into his hand.
The servant was flattered. The Princess of Yan came to pay a visit, so the Master and the Madam would definitely meet them. Now, they also received such a large silver ingot.
You must know that Qingzhou City has already belonged to Fengyuan Kingdom.
His master used to be the captain of the city gate of Nanchang State. Now that Nanchang State has fallen, his master has lost his official position and salary. Now he can only make a living by running the family shop.
But now is a time of chaos, business is not good, and sometimes even their monthly salary is delayed by one or two months.
Even the servants in the mansion speculated that they were out of cash and could not pay their wages.
They wanted to change their master, but their indentures were in Zhang's house, so they couldn't leave. It was really a dilemma.
Now, the Princess of Yan is really generous. She gave such a big ingot of silver just for passing on the message.
The servant smiled cheerfully and hid the silver ingot. "Please wait a moment, Princess. I will pass the message on."
Su Qian nodded: "Thank you."
The servant moved quickly and came back soon, "Princess, my master and mistress invite you in."
Su Qian: "Okay."
Not long after entering the mansion, Zhang's father and wife came to greet him, and the three of them met in the corridor.
"I didn't know the Princess of Yan was coming here. I apologize for not welcoming her. Please forgive me."
"Your Excellency, Captain, you are too kind. I came here today to discuss something concerning Yuncheng."
Mr. Zhang looked to be in his forties, with a peaceful face and seemed easy to talk to, but Su Qian was still very nervous.
"Is it about my son?" Father Zhang and his wife looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes.
Father Zhang quickly reacted and continued, "Then please move to the main hall, Princess. I have already ordered tea to be prepared."
Su Qian: "Okay."
"I heard that my son is close to the princess, and he even went to the mansion to disturb her today. Did he... do something wrong in the mansion?"
"That's really outrageous! When he comes back, I'll definitely give him a good scolding."
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the main hall of Zhang's mansion. The maid served them the best tea. Su Qian took a sip and then put down the cup.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang thought that Su Qian was not satisfied with the tea they prepared, but they didn't expect that the next moment, Su Qian slowly stood up and walked to the center of the main hall, performing a solemn ceremony towards the two of them.
Zhang's father immediately stood up and asked, "What do you mean, Princess? No, no, no."
Madam Zhang also immediately stepped forward to help Su Qian up: "We can't stand what your princess did."
"Yes, Princess, if you have anything to say, please speak frankly."
Su Qian: "It's my fault. Yun Cheng came to visit the mansion today, but I didn't expect him to get hurt because of my negligence."
Madam Zhang said distressedly, "Injured? When did it happen? How is my son?
Father Zhang held Madam Zhang's hand and gestured for her to calm down. "Princess, please sit down first. We can talk slowly."
Su Qian nodded, but still did not sit down. She told the couple everything that happened in Prince Yan's Mansion today.
"That's the thing. Yuncheng is injured now. It's not suitable for him to move. He should recuperate in the mansion."
"I've ordered the doctor to stay at the mansion and take turns to take care of him. However... Yuncheng is injured, and I'm afraid he can't return to the Zhang Mansion to recuperate for the time being."
Mr. Zhang's gentle appearance had disappeared, and his face was cold.
Su Qian could also understand that when her father heard that his son was seriously injured, he just kept a cold face and did not scold her. That was good enough.
What's more, this matter was caused by her.
She underestimated the extent of Yan Xuanye's madness. She knew that he would be jealous, but she just tried to calm Yan Xuanye's emotions and forgot about everyone else.
"This is all my fault. I understand that my Lord and Madam are angry. I will take any beatings or punishments they may have. If you want me to take their place and bear all the injuries Yun Cheng has suffered, I am willing to do so."
Mrs. Zhang's chest was heaving heavily, and she wanted to rush up and scold her. Father Zhang hugged her from behind, actually suppressing her shoulders to prevent her from acting impulsively.
"You're willing to bear it? You're the Princess of Yan. Who dares to hurt you? Even if you're willing to bear it, does that mean my son's injuries don't count?"
"My son is a guest at your house, and this is how you treat him?"
Mrs. Zhang scolded Su Qian harshly, and Su Qian listened to it without refutation.
"Madam! Calm down. The most important thing right now is your son's safety."
Father Zhang took a deep breath and said, "Princess, my son was injured in your house. I am worried about him recuperating at your house. What if this happens again?"
"I won't pursue the rest. Let my son come home and recuperate at home. Otherwise... I will never be at peace!"
Su Qian was a little embarrassed: "Sir, it's not that I don't want Yuncheng to come back to recuperate, but the doctor said that his body is not suitable for movement at this moment, and he can only rest."
Mrs. Zhang: "I don't care! I'm worried about my son recuperating at your house."
