On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

If outside the Pear Garden.

The three old women who had just pushed the pastry roll and brought out Ji Lanshuang looked like balls, with ruddy and round faces.

At this time, they were still shirking the responsibility. Seeing that Su Sui'an had not come out yet, they pushed the responsibility and actually formed a circle and started chatting.

"It was obviously you who ordered it, why should I take the blame?"

"That's the eldest son of the eldest house. If he was really killed by the second young lady, do you think we can survive?"

"In the final analysis, the second young lady is still ignorant. She should have been scolded a few times, but she actually resorted to physical manipulation..."

"It seems that the Second Miss doesn't look like a bride-to-be at all. Is it possible that... the Second Miss is really going to be broken off by the Duke Gu's Mansion as the Young Master said?"

"Well done for retreating. She deserves it. I'm not saying..."

The old woman who answered the call instantly wilted when she saw Su Sui'an staring at her with a smile on his face.

The other two old women followed the gaze of the old woman who took over the conversation and their anger instantly fell silent.

"Why, have you decided to live and die together?"

Su Sui'an crossed his arms across his chest, leaned casually against the gate of Ruoli Garden, and lazily raised his eyes to look at the maids.

The maids exchanged glances, and the one who took over the conversation was about to speak.

"Second Miss, we don't think we did anything wrong. You hit the young master of the first house. If it was the old lady or the marquis..."

"Heh..." Su Sui'an looked at them with disdain, and laughed instead of getting angry, "So, you took the monthly salary given to you by Ruoliyuan and worked hard for the first house and Shoukangtang, right?"

When Aunt Deng came back from outside, she saw three maids doing odd jobs in Ruoli Garden and couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Miss, this is..."

"Madame Deng is back just in time. Let's gather all the people from Ruoli Garden here."

Nanny Deng glanced at the three fearless maids in front of Su Sui'an, and roughly understood what was going on, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Soon, dozens of servants, both men and women, stood in front of the Liyuan.

The team was in disarray.

A few little maids were even laughing and playing in the background.

Su Sui'an stood in front and threw the three maids in front of the dozens of people one by one like chickens.

The three maids wailed a few times.

The team that was noisy and bustling like a crowd going to a market just a moment ago suddenly became silent, and even the team became much more orderly than before.

Several servants who had stood crookedly quietly stood up again.

Su Sui'an seemed unsatisfied, so he picked up the three-ball-like Nanny again and made her stand up straight.

Qingling's eyes swept across the different expressions of the servants one by one, and he spoke loudly.

"Just now, these old women didn't know their own identities and took Madam out without her consent. I was worried that I had wrongly accused the loyal servants, so I asked them who their master was."

"In the end, they told me that this is the Marquis' Mansion and they should respect the First House and Shoukang Hall."

"Do any of you agree with their opinions?"

Her voice was piercing and mixed with anger.

Even if one covers one's ears, one still cannot avoid the lecture.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to express their opinions.

Su Sui'an turned to look at the three maids and curled his lips sarcastically.

"Don't blame me for not giving you a chance. What you did was unacceptable even to the servants in our courtyard. I am following the opinions expressed by others. It's not too much, is it?"

The moment they understood Su Sui'an's meaning, the three old women realized that Su Sui'an had never intended to let them live from the beginning.

Only then did they realize what a stupid thing they had done.

Unfortunately, it's too late -

In full view of everyone, they were neatly strangled by Su Sui'an.

The warm, bright red snow splashed onto the servants standing in the front.

A few timid maids screamed and fainted on the spot. A few who were not scared to death wet their pants after receiving a look from Su Sui'an.

But Su Sui'an looked at all the servants with raised eyebrows as if nothing had happened.

"Now, tell me who is your master?"

One by one, the servants knelt down and kowtowed to Su Sui'an, "I am from the second house."

The sound is uniform.

inside the house.

Hearing Suguo's trembling voice reporting on Su Sui'an's audacity, Ji Lanshuang just smiled helplessly and shook his head, his eyes dull.

It was her poor body that brought her daughter down and ruined her reputation.

...

When Su Sui'an returned to Tingyu Cottage, it was almost noon. Liu'er had already returned and was about to go to Ruoli Garden with Mei'er to look for Sui'an. The master and his servants met at the door.

"Miss, you are finally back." Mei'er spoke first.

"What happened?"

Su Sui'an frowned.

In her opinion, Mei'er has always been calm, so it must be a big deal if it could make her so anxious.

As expected, the next moment, Mei'er started crying, "The young lady was not at home yesterday, and I went out to get information. When I came back at night, I found that the seams of the door of the young lady's room were not right, so I went into the young lady's room to take a look. The result...the result..."

Before Mei'er could finish her words, Su Sui'an glanced at the other people in the yard and comforted Mei'er, "Don't worry, come and wash your face first."

The group quickly returned to their room.

After this period of walking, Mei'er's emotions have stabilized again.

Only then did Su Sui'an calmly ask Mei'er to continue what she had not finished saying.

"My jewelry was touched, wasn't it?"

"Miss, how do you know?"

Su Sui'an lowered his eyes to hide the coldness in his eyes, "Not only has it been touched, but the missing item was something I wore for a while when I was a child and then put away. If you are not very familiar with the placement of my dressing table, you would not have noticed it at all."

In the morning, when she saw Su Jincheng, that brainless idiot, appear, she felt something was wrong. Then she thought of Su Xinhe's appearance last night and the fact that her door was opened.

The answer is already there.

"Miss..."

Mei'er looked at Su Sui'an with a worried look on her face. "Among the lost items, there is the half piece of warm jade that Miss wore when she was a child and the two pearl flowers that the general brought back from Yumen City when you were nine years old. Although these things are not valuable, they are Miss's personal belongings after all. If they were stolen by bad people and used to do something to ruin Miss's reputation, I'm afraid..."

"I know everything. Don't worry. I know what's going on and I'll figure it out."

Su Sui'an gently wiped away the tears from Mei'er's eyes with a handkerchief. Looking at the two loyal maids in front of him, Su Sui'an was moved for a moment. "As long as you stay by my side and don't have any other thoughts, I won't treat you unfairly."
