Chapter 1971 The Regent Princess is about to faint again

My aunt has been very pleasant lately.

Especially since the academy was about to have a holiday and her beloved son Su Zhao could go home, the aunt felt even happier.

On the day when the academy was closed for the holiday, my aunt started to work in the yard early. She ordered people to clean the yard where Su Zhao lived over and over again, and at the same time she told the kitchen to prepare all of Su Zhao's favorite dishes and snacks in advance.

Jiu Ming sat in the front hall, eagerly waiting for Su Zhao to come back soon.

My aunt waited until noon but no one came back. She became impatient and sent someone to the academy to find out what was going on.

As soon as he sent the person away, the servant boy who served Su Zhao ran back in a panic.

"Madam, this is bad, this is bad!"

"Why did you come back alone, young master?" The aunt stood up in shock when she saw the servant boy returning in a dishevel.

The book boy was in a disheveled state. He knelt on the ground with a thud and began to cry to his aunt about what had happened.

The academy was closed today as usual, and Su Zhao took him out of the academy very early as usual.

However, when passing through a busy street, some accidents suddenly happened. In the chaos, Su Zhao started fighting with someone and accidentally beat someone.

The man's head was broken and he was bleeding a lot. When the people around him saw this, they panicked and some ran away. Su Zhao also wanted to run, but he ran into a patrol officer who was nearby.

When the officer saw someone injured and bleeding, he grabbed Su Zhao and brought him back to the yamen.

The servant boy couldn't stop him and could only stumble back to report the news.

When my aunt heard these words, her eyes went dark, her body swayed, and she barely reached out to hold on to the armrest of the chair.

"Hurry! Go and call the master back!" She was so breathless that she could no longer hold on after saying this and fell straight into the chair.

The servant boy below him didn't dare to breathe, just hoping to fool the situation and not have anyone asking what kind of accident happened in the busy city. Otherwise... he was worried that what he had done would be discovered.

The aunt was at a loss and did not try to cover up the matter. It soon spread throughout the Su Mansion and reached Shi Li's ears.

"This..." Shi Lizhi felt something was very strange. She stood up and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Shi Xuan halfway.

Shi Xuan was also worried, "Don't go over there now, otherwise your aunt might think we have bad intentions and take her anger out on you."

Thinking about how her aunt seemed confused, Shi Li nodded and sat down again.

"But I don't understand, how could it be such a coincidence that I beat someone up and ran into the police?" Shi Li said to himself.

Although Su Zhao is an uneducated person, he rarely causes trouble outside. Such a big thing has never happened in Jiangnan before. How could such a big incident happen in the capital?

My uncle was soon invited back to the Su Mansion. As soon as he entered the door, he saw my aunt crying and gasping for breath. Although he was annoyed, he still had to patiently comfort her.

"I've heard about it on the way. I'm going to the government office to find out the situation and bring Zhao'er back. Don't cry."

He felt that this matter was not a big deal. Even if he hit someone, the worst that could happen was that he would have to pay some money as compensation, and he could always bring his son back.

My aunt seemed to have found her backbone, and she just kept nodding her head, "Okay, okay, go quickly and pick up Zhao'er as soon as possible. He has never suffered such a hardship since he was a child!"

Things didn't go as my uncle wished.

He arrived at the government office, reported his identity, and was respectfully invited in.

The official in charge treated him with a smile and was very flattering.

But when it came to taking Su Zhao away, his expression suddenly changed.

"Master Su, you probably don't know who your son injured!"

My uncle was stunned. He thought that he had just injured a civilian in the market, but after hearing what the other party said, he realized that it was not that simple.

"Please tell me clearly, sir." He had no choice but to humble himself to the other party.

The other party had also received hints early on, so instead of keeping a stern face, he relaxed his expression.

"I will not hide it from Lord Su. The young man who was beaten is the nephew of Duke Zhao. This matter cannot be easily resolved."

Duke of Zhao?!

My uncle's face turned pale instantly.

His career had been going smoothly in the past year, and he had barely managed to get a fourth-rank official position, but compared with the Duke, he was like an ant.

The rebellious son has caused such a big disaster, what should he do...

Not daring to say anything more, my uncle got up and said goodbye dejectedly, returning to the Su Mansion in a daze.

The aunt rushed towards him and saw only him, but not Su Zhao.

"Where's Zhao'er? Why hasn't he come back?"
