Su Zhaohong did not expect it to be so smooth. After Su Yunling drank the wine laced with knockout drug, he fell beside the table in less than a quarter of an hour.

Outside the door, the maid and two female guards brought by Su Yunling were also knocked down by the incense he had someone buy.

Everything went so smoothly as if with divine help.

Su Zhaohong ordered the servants to come in and help the "drunk" Su Yunling into the inner courtyard to rest.

The three brothers thought Su Yunling was just drunk and didn't think much about it.

Su Yunling allowed them to half-support and half-drag her into the inner courtyard, but she was not taken to the rest room, but was sent to a remote woodshed.

There was a box prepared in the woodshed, and she was stuffed into the box.

It is not yet the hour of Xu, and there is no curfew in the capital, so there are still many passers-by outside, so it is naturally inconvenient to act immediately.

Time passed little by little, and Su Yunling, who was curled up in the box, vaguely heard a sound coming from outside the door, which was the sound of a wooden wheel rolling over the ground.

Su Zhaohong is here.

With a creak, the door of the woodshed was pushed open, and Su Zhaohong's wheelchair came to the wooden box.

"Don't cover the box too tightly. She could have died of drowning. If the coroner finds any clues during the autopsy, we'll be in trouble."

Soon, the tightly closed wooden box was opened a crack, and Su Yunling opened his eyes and sat up.

The bright moonlight poured in through the shabby window frames. After my eyes adjusted to the light, I could barely make out the stunned look on the face of the man in the wheelchair.

"You woke up so soon?"

"Why? Why do you want to kill me? Am I not your daughter?" Su Yunling asked in disbelief, her tone full of disappointment and shock.

Su Zhaohong was only panicked for a moment, but quickly forced himself to calm down.

"You forced me to do this. Now that you know everything, I can't let you go anymore."

"Dad, you have always disliked me since I entered the mansion, and now you want to kill me for no apparent reason. Why?" Su Yunling struggled, feeling a little emotionally broken.

"If you hate me now because I disobeyed you, then what about before? I respected you, honored you, obeyed you, and tried to please you in every way, but you never paid the slightest attention to me. Why was that?"

Su Zhaohong hesitated in silence for a moment, and finally spoke with great compassion.

"Because you look too much like that bitch Xu. When I see your face, it's like I see her. I hate her and despise her, and I hate you too!!!"

The moonlight could not illuminate the scarlet and madness in his eyes due to resentment and hatred, but his tone was crazy and excited.

"Why do you hate mother so much? She is gentle and filial. She has been wholeheartedly managing your household chores, helping you plan your future, and giving birth to your children... Without her, you would have been an unknown scholar your whole life. Why do you hate her?"

"What do you know? She is a scheming and vicious woman! Her gentleness and filial piety are all fake! She looks down on my background from the bottom of her heart. On the one hand, she whispers in my ear and forces me to make progress, but on the other hand, she stands idly by and does nothing about my needs. She could have asked her father to help me get a higher official position, but she did nothing. In the end, she gave the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to her old lover, and I have always been suppressed by him."

When Su Zhaohong recalled his past with Xu, he felt nothing but resentment and hatred, not even a trace of love.

"Is it possible that you are not up to the task? Although my grandfather is quite prestigious in the court, he is a fair person and would never abuse his power for personal gain. The current Minister of Revenue, Mr. Chen, is a genius who has passed the imperial examinations and is a top three scholar. Apart from having a better face than him, what else can you compare with him?"

As soon as Su Yunling opened her mouth, she struck directly into his heart, tearing off his face and stepping on it under her feet.

After hearing this, Su Zhaohong would have rushed over and strangled her to death, if it weren't for his disability and the fact that the bee venom had not yet been completely eliminated.

"You are just as cheap as your mother! You both deserve to die!"

"So you killed my mother, right? Just because she didn't help you climb higher in your career as you wished, you killed her for that?" Su Yunling raised her voice and questioned.

Su Zhaohong trembled and was obviously stunned for a moment, but at this point, what was there for him to be afraid of?

His career was ruined and even his health was broken. He had lost so much that he didn't have so many concerns. Anyway, Su Yunling had to die today.

He admitted it generously.

"She deserves to die! I just wanted to give Liu'er a concubine, but she blocked my way! What man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Why does she look down on Liu'er? Liu'er was just singing in the brothel for a few days, and she didn't sell her body. While Xu said she loved me deeply, she controlled me tightly. If she didn't die, I wouldn't even have the freedom to be with the person I love. She must die!!!"

"So her falling into the lake was not an accident, but you..."

"Hahahaha... I pushed her down, and that stupid woman wanted me to save her?" Su Zhaohong recalled how Xu struggled in the water that year, and laughed crazily because of the pleasure of revenge.

"We've been married for more than ten years, how could you have the heart to do that to me? You beast!" Su Yunling yelled.

Su Zhaohong became more and more proud, as if he was trying to stimulate Su Yunling, who was about to die, by telling her the truth about Xu's death, and also satisfying her desire for revenge to a great extent.

"Do you know? When that bitch was about to sink, I told her that her most beloved little daughter was actually the child of Liu'er and me, and as for her daughter... she was currently washing Liu'er's feet! After hearing this, she looked desperate and sank without even struggling, hahahaha..."

Su Yunling looked at him calmly as he laughed crazily, without any ripples in her eyes.

"So, it was you who arranged for Liu to take me away as soon as I was born?"

"That's right! Doesn't she look down on Liu'er? I want her daughter to work like a slave for the lowest and most inferior people in her eyes! Who told her to think she is superior? Don't blame me, just blame yourself for being born from that bitch's belly!"

"My mother gave birth to more than one me. Do you only hate me and not my brothers?" Su Yunling asked.

"If Liu'er hadn't given me a son, would I have wanted those three idiots? But I'll just keep them as they are..."

After hearing his words, Su Yunling nodded with relief, then suddenly stood up from the box.

Su Zhaohong then stopped his crazy laughter and frowned with a look of confusion.

"How can you?"

"He has confessed everything, come out..." Just as Su Yunling finished speaking, four or five people came out from the pile of firewood behind him.

The torches outside the door lit up, clearly illuminating the faces of those people. Su Zhaohong looked at those familiar faces, his face turning paler and paler, and he almost slipped off the wheelchair.

Standing at the front was Xu Handang, who was trembling with anger, and the Dali Temple Chief with a solemn expression. At the end were the three brothers of the Su family, who were still in shock.

"Someone, take the criminal Su Zhaohong to the Dali Temple Prison and wait for interrogation..."

Su Zhaohong opened and closed his mouth but was unable to defend himself. When he was dragged away, he looked at Su Yunling who was comforting Xu Handang. Only then did he realize that he had fallen into a game within a game.
