Chapter 569: Sister-in-law, do you want to leave a way out?
Su Lingyue waited in the elegant room of Zuixianju for a long time before Li Qingyuan came in wearing a veil.
"Sister-in-law."
Li Qingyuan took off his veil and handed it to Caidie.
Sitting down opposite Su Lingyue, Li Qingyuan showed a gentle smile on her beautiful face, "Yue'er!"
Caiyi poured another cup of the tea she had just brewed and placed it in front of Li Qingyuan. Li Qingyuan picked up the tea, took a sip, put the cup down and said, "The Rain-Previous Longjing Tea from Zuixianju is still as fragrant and pleasant as ever."
"Yes, my sister-in-law used to often bring me and my second sister-in-law here to have tea and snacks."
When talking about the past, the two smiled at each other, as if they had returned to the intimate times of the past.
Before she got married, her life in the mansion was not entirely unhappy. Although Su Nanxing and her three brothers disliked her, her two sisters-in-law treated her well.
They didn't like Su Nanxing's domineering personality, so whenever they went out shopping, they would secretly bring Su Lingyue with them, and they were very good to her sister-in-law.
Later, she got married and her second sister-in-law returned home, and they never got together like this again.
"Is Yue'er's injury better now?"
"Well, there's nothing wrong with normal activities on weekdays."
"That's good. I wonder why you asked me out alone today?"
Su Lingyue suppressed the smile on her face and explained the purpose of asking her out.
"Sister-in-law, do you know what father is planning recently?"
After hearing Su Lingyue's words, Li Qingyuan frowned slightly and shook his head.
Ever since her brother was injured and her father and father-in-law had a falling out, her father-in-law would deliberately avoid her whenever he talked to Su Xiuyuan.
She only knew that Su Nanxing had been sent away, but she had no idea that she was actually sent to Qingshi Nunnery. Indeed, as Su Lingyue had said, Su Nanxing's impetuous personality meant that she must have some ulterior motive for staying at Qingshi Nunnery.
"Sister-in-law, are you willing to help me investigate my father's plans?"
Seeing Li Qingyuan hesitate, Su Lingyue continued, "The Li family's situation is critical now. Uncle Li is still in prison, and Young Master Li is in such a state. Concubine Jia is in the palace and can't always take care of the outside world. The Li family is now supported by my sister-in-law alone. I believe it must be very difficult."
Li Qingyuan said nothing, just staring at Su Lingyue. This little sister seemed to have changed a lot after getting married. She became more calm and her thoughts were hard to understand.
Su Lingyue looked at Li Qingyuan, her eyes clear and bright, without any gloom. "Sister-in-law is not only a wife of the Su family, but also a daughter of the Li family. Sister-in-law, have you ever thought about the fact that Uncle Li and father have worked together for many years and must know a lot? If father's future plan succeeds, will he keep those who have leverage over him? If not, it will be a serious crime, and the Li family will also suffer. Sister-in-law, have you ever thought about leaving yourself a way out?"
Li Qingyuan has always known that her father and father-in-law have too close a relationship, and that is why she married into the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
Her father-in-law no longer trusts her. Once he has eliminated his political enemies, it is obvious what the fate of the Li family will be.
When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked; when the birds are all gone, the bow is put away; when the enemy country is defeated, the counselor dies.
This kind of thing has been common since ancient times, and Li Qingyuan would not bet that their family would be an exception.
Li Qingyuan raised his eyes and looked at Su Lingyue, "What's the escape route?"
Su Lingyue said, "Uncle Li has been with my father for many years. I'm sure you know that he is definitely not innocent anymore. I promise you that if you join hands with me, I will do my best to protect everyone in the Li Mansion except Uncle Li."
Li Qingyuan looked into Su Lingyue's eyes. Her clear eyes were calm and clear, and her expression was extremely serious.
Now, she has no better choice.
When the prince ascends the throne, her father-in-law will be above everyone else, and she will no longer have any room to struggle.
For the sake of her mother, sister and brother, she must find another way out for herself.
Li Qingyuan's eyes were heavy. "Okay, I promise, I'll join hands with you."

After coming out of Zuixianju, Su Lingyue went to Zhao's Trading Company again. When the shopkeeper saw Su Lingyue, he came forward to greet her enthusiastically.
Su Lingyue didn't say much to him and asked directly, "Have you received any letters from your master recently?"
The shopkeeper shook his head, "Since the last time the young master wrote to me, he hasn't come here since."
Su Lingyue felt a sense of loss in her heart. After asking about Mr. Zhao's situation, she went straight back to the palace.
Although an agreement was reached with Li Qingyuan, all hopes could not be placed on her alone. Su Lingyue still needed to make other plans.
In order to prevent Su Nanxing from using the old method to drug Jiang Yan again, Su Lingyue felt it necessary to let Ling'er stay with Jiang Yan for a while, just in case.
She found Dr. Lu and Ling Ling and told them her idea.
"Okay, Sister Yue, don't worry, no one can harm Yan'er with me here!" Ling Ling hadn't seen Jiang Yan for a long time, and was very happy to go to Qingshi Temple to play for a while.
Doctor Lu put down the herbs in his hand, frowning, "Yue girl, how is Xiao Ling'er going to get through? Also, is that mountain very dangerous?"
Seeing Doctor Lu's worried look, Su Lingyue comforted him, "Uncle Lu, don't worry. My second cousin will be on leave tomorrow and will personally escort Ling'er and the other maids and servants up the mountain. Ling'er will have someone to take care of her daily life. Moreover, the maids and servants we are sending this time are all carefully selected. Some of them are very strong and ordinary men are no match for them."
Doctor Lu felt a little relieved when he heard that Jiang Siqi was personally escorting him and that there would be someone to protect him when he went up the mountain.
The next morning, Ling Ling packed her bag. Before leaving, Doctor Lu, with tears in his eyes, stuffed his treasured silver chopsticks, silver spoon, and silver dagger into Ling Ling's bag.
Seeing him like this, Ling Ling smiled, opened the bag and let him pack it.
Doctor Lu didn't give up until the bag became so heavy that Ling Ling could no longer carry it. He reluctantly put a Ten-Herbs Tonic Pill back on the medicine shelf.
"Xiao Ling'er, if you need anything after you go up the mountain, just write back and ask Sister Yue to send someone to get it for you, okay?"
Ling Ling took Doctor Lu's hand, rested her head on his shoulder, and coaxed him with a smile, "Grandfather, don't worry. The Jiang family is very rich. If I need anything, I can directly ask Yan'er and Madam Jiang for it. It's more convenient."
Doctor Lu held his granddaughter's hand and thought for a moment, "That's right, the Jiang family is richer than Yue girl."
The team was about to set off. Seeing that no one had come out for a long time, Jiang Siqi came in to look for them. Seeing the reluctant look on the faces of the grandfather and grandson, he did not dare to disturb them. He just stood at the door with his arms folded and watched until Ling Ling comforted Doctor Lu. He did not enter the hall until Ling Ling had comforted Doctor Lu.
Seeing Jiang Siqi, Ling Ling's eyes lit up and she waved with a smile, "Jiang Siqi, you've come just in time. Come and carry my bag."
"Got it." Jiang Siqi walked over, picked up the dozens of kilograms of baggage with one hand, and bowed to Doctor Lu. "Grandfather, thank you for letting Ling Ling go to Qingshi Temple. I will definitely have someone protect her and take good care of her. When I return, I will also personally bring Ling Ling back safely and give her to you, grandfather. Please don't worry."
Doctor Lu saw Jiang Siqi's serious look and nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, then I'll lend you my beloved granddaughter for a while. You must return her to me in good condition when the time comes, understand!"
"Yes!" Jiang Siqi answered in a voice as loud as a bell.
Doctor Lu had just been reunited with his granddaughter, and as he watched her walking away, his eyes were filled with reluctance.
Su Lingyue supported him and comforted him with a smile: "Uncle Lu, I will discuss with my uncle and let them come back immediately after the incident with Yan'er is over, okay?"
Doctor Lu then withdrew his gaze, nodded, and walked towards the mansion, muttering as he walked: "Hurry up, I miss Xiao Ling'er so much now."
Sometimes, Su Lingyue was a little envious of Ling Ling for having a family who cared about her so much.
After finishing everything, the only things left are Xiao Yu's matter and Caiyi's marriage.
Even if Xiao Yu's matter was urgent, there was nothing that could be done. However, Caiyi's wedding was only a few days away, so she had to prepare well.
