Prime Minister Su fell silent. He was the prime minister of the dynasty. It was one of the worst cases that the princes and dukes bullied him, but now even the crown prince dared to point at his nose and scold him!

Prime Minister Su's expression was gloomy and unclear, and Mrs. Lu was secretly anxious, fearing that Prime Minister Su would spare Su Qingli and completely ruin the relationship with Prince Zhao's Mansion.

"Prime Minister, don't listen to this girl's nonsense. This matter is caused by her. Prince Zhao's Mansion wants an explanation from the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

"Father, His Majesty gave you a horse whip. I think he hopes that you will be upright and not afraid of power." Su Qingli mentioned the emperor's gift of the whip to alert Prime Minister Su, and then said.

"The relationship between Prince Zhao and Your Majesty is unlike any other. Because of this relationship, the important officials in the court have yielded to Prince Zhao in every way. However, today's incident has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion, yet Prince Zhao is taking the opportunity to suppress the Prime Minister's Mansion. Father, you are Your Majesty's subject. If you want to punish or scold him, it should be His Majesty himself!"

"Su Qingli, stop trying to sow discord!" Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth. How could she not realize that this dead girl had such a vicious mind that she actually instigated discord between the Prime Minister's Mansion and Prince Zhao's Mansion in person.

"Ma'am, I'm not trying to sow discord. I'm just stating the facts."

"The fact is, you deliberately provoked Prince Zhao and caused him to offend Prince Zhan!"

Su Qingli smiled bitterly: "Madam, although I am not your biological child, I am also the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. You insist on letting Prince Zhao's Mansion humiliate me. What good will it bring to you? What good will it bring to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"When did I ever allow Prince Zhao's Mansion to humiliate you? It's clearly you who acted perversely, first ruining the reputation of Prince Zhao, and then framing him. Today, I must teach you a lesson!"

"You dare!" The old lady walked in slowly with a cane.

The Su Xiang couple quickly stood up and saluted: "Mother, why are you here?"

The old lady took one look at Su Qingli, who was kneeling on the ground and feeling very wronged, and her dislike for Mrs. Lu increased.

"What mistake did Qingli make that you treat her like a criminal?" the old lady asked slowly.

"Mother, I just want to ask the child some questions." Su Xiangshang immediately asked Su Qingli to stand up and speak. Mrs. Lu was dissatisfied, but she did not dare to disobey the old lady.

"Mother, you can't always indulge her like this. Today, she caused Prince Zhan to beat Prince Zhao. Now, Prince Zhao's Mansion wants us to explain."

The old lady frowned slightly. "What you said is totally illogical. If Qingli had provoked Prince Zhan, he should have beaten her. Why did he beat Prince Zhao?"

"This..." Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth, "She angered Prince Zhao, and made Prince Zhao angry with Prince Zhan."

"Ridiculous!" the old lady scolded. "She broke off her engagement with Prince Zhao and usually has no time to avoid him. How could she possibly provoke him?"

"Grandmother, my second sister dragged me to the Ninth Rank Pavilion for dinner, and we ran into Prince Zhao, who was also there. For some reason, Prince Zhao wanted to beat and kill his granddaughter upon seeing her, and he even clashed with the War King, who was also dining there."

The old lady's eyes shot towards Su Qingyu, and she was so scared that she immediately shrank behind Mrs. Lu. After all, she deliberately brought Su Qingli to see Prince Zhao in order to embarrass Su Qingli.

"In the Prime Minister's Mansion, we are a family and should stick together. If brothers and sisters are not on good terms, it will only make people laugh at us."

Madam Su said in a calm tone, "If you help outsiders frame your own sisters, others will not think highly of you. They will only think that marrying a woman like you will bring endless disasters."

Mrs. Lu was angry and annoyed by the old lady's insinuations, but she didn't dare to refute. Su Qingli had ruined a good marriage, but this old woman was still wholeheartedly protecting her!

Seeing that Mrs. Lu was silent, the old lady looked at Prime Minister Su and said, "This matter concerns the Zhao Palace and the Zhan Palace. Our Prime Minister's Mansion has been innocently affected. You cannot make the decision on this matter. Your Majesty should make the decision."

"My son understands."

"In that case, I will return." The old lady stood up and held out her hand. Su Qingli hurried forward to support her. "Father, your daughter will take her leave."
