Except for the first day when General Su came to the military camp to watch their training, he spent the rest of the time inspecting other county offices. He came back yesterday. Regarding the eleven murders in Gui County, Teng Ke asked Lord Lu not to report it for the time being to avoid alerting the enemy.

He also analyzed Su Jie's motive for committing the crime at night, and it seemed that everything was done around Yinuo.

Nanny Wan had talked to him before, saying that Su Jie’s sudden visit was very impolite, and that she told Yinuo as soon as she arrived that she was Tengke’s childhood sweetheart, and even said that they had been engaged in the past. Is this something a lady from a noble family would say?

Nanny Wan also said that Su Jie was interested in him, and even though he was married and had children, he was still stubborn and always tried to get close to them.

She reminded Teng Ke to stay away from Su Jie, because they were not allowed to have a second wife or concubines in the Dingguo Mansion, and they could only remarry after their wife died.

Thinking of Nanny Wan's words, Teng Ke seemed to understand the purpose of Su Jie's actions in the past few days.

Her goal is herself!

According to Wang Xiucai's confession, the man arranged for Wang Xiucai to wait for Yinuo to fall into the water, and then let him save the beauty, so that Yinuo would lose her virginity to him, and then he would have no choice but to divorce Yinuo! In addition, his mother had liked Su Jie since childhood, so it was inevitable that she would force him to marry Su Jie as his second wife.

Su Jie can no longer stay in Pengcheng.

Teng Ke thought about it and decided to go find General Su early tomorrow morning and try to get him to send Su Jie away. This way, there would be no one here to hinder them from finding evidence, and Yinuo and the children would also be safe.

next morning.

After Teng Ke had breakfast, he went out to the General's Mansion.

"Ke'er, I heard from the housekeeper that you sent someone to the mansion to look for me yesterday?"

"Yes, Uncle Sue."

Su Lin couldn't help laughing and looked at Teng Ke happily.

"I haven't seen you for many years. This time I see you and I find that you are more mature and steady than before. The Duke Dingguo's Mansion has a successor."

"Before I came here, I had tea with your father. He said you haven't written to him for three years. He doesn't know how you are doing here!"

"I went to your house a few days ago and found out that you already have another son."

"Uncle Su finally understands why you have not returned to the capital. Now that you have a second son without the emperor's permission, it is indeed difficult to explain."

"But the emperor is your biological uncle. Your Dingguo Mansion has always had difficulty in having children. I believe the emperor can understand you."

"Next time I see your father, I will show off in front of him. I got to meet his two grandsons first."

When he said this, his tone revealed an undisguised smugness.

The Su family and the Duke Dingguo's Mansion had a very good relationship. The two had fought side by side and lived relatively close to each other. Su Lin was also Teng Lie's deputy general. With all these roots intertwined, the relationship between the two families became increasingly close.

When Teng Ke was a child, his two families did play jokes on him and Su Jie, and his mother did like Su Jie very much. Anyway, he never treated Su Jie as a woman from the beginning to the end, and only regarded her as a sister.

Now, his sister is obsessed with destroying his marriage and even killing people to silence them. These methods make Teng Ke feel frightened, so of course he has to try his best to resolve this hidden danger.

Teng Ke knew that Su Lin would definitely report the fact that he had two sons when he returned, so he told Su Lin the story he had already discussed with his parents.

"When Yinuo was pregnant with her second child, I was out suppressing bandits. After she came back, she was busy with training and didn't go back to her parents-in-law's house. It wasn't until she came to the military camp to find me a year ago that I learned that she had given birth to another son."

"If I knew she was pregnant, I would definitely not let her..."

Su Lin didn't let him continue: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs!"

"The Emperor is also your uncle. Your father has the merit of following the emperor. He just wants a grandson. The Emperor will definitely not make things difficult for you."

Su Lin is a simple and honest man, and is the emperor's most trusted general. The emperor trusts Su Lin more than his father. Su Jie is Su Lin's only daughter. To deal with Su Jie, one must come up with a thorough plan.

Teng Ke lowered his head: "I know that the Emperor's uncle has always remembered us."

Even though he is his mother's elder brother, and even though his father has the merit of following the emperor, how can he allow others to sleep soundly beside his bed?

The emperor is the emperor, and his throne cannot be threatened.

This made Teng Ke feel very aggrieved, but he did not show it.

He didn't say much to Su Lin. Men are straightforward and don't beat around the bush. They just get straight to the point, but he also tried to speak in a tactful tone.

"Uncle Su, I'm looking for you this time because of Su Jie."

Su Lin immediately became serious, even his sitting posture became straight, and he frowned questioningly.

"Jie'er?"

Tenk hummed.

Looking at Su Lin, he said, "During the time that Su Jie has been in Pengcheng, she has always come to our house."

"As her elder brother, I should treat her well, but she never sends a visiting card before coming here. She always comes here suddenly."

"We are grown up now, not children anymore. We still need to be careful about the differences between men and women. I am afraid that bad rumors will spread about her. After all, she is not engaged yet."

At this point, he looked embarrassed: "Now I am also a family man, Su Jie seems to be a little prejudiced against my wife. Last time I heard her say some unpleasant things to my wife."

"Uncle Su, you also know that my wife and I now have two children. Our Dingguo Mansion does not allow concubines or divorces. No matter how much my father and mother dislike Yinuo, they have not allowed me to divorce my wife."

"Su Jie... I really can't accept Su Jie's feelings."

His words made Su Lin's face change suddenly.

He watched Teng Ke grow up, and he knew this kid's character better than anyone else. It was impossible for him to lie, let alone slander. If he didn't have no other choice, he would definitely not come to him.

But Su Jie is his only daughter, so he still believes that she would not do anything reckless. He will not blame her until the matter is clear.

Tightening his fists on his legs, Su Lin nodded and promised: "Okay, I'll check it out first. If it's really Su Tang's fault, I'll ask her to come and apologize in person."

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Teng Ke continued, "Uncle Su, you also saw it at the housewarming party that day. She didn't care about her reputation in order to get close to me. If a woman is so crazy, if the rumor spreads, how can the mistresses in the capital be interested in her?"

"Su Jie is my sister who grew up with me. I don't want to see things develop to this point."

Su Lin's face turned pale, he clenched his teeth and was so angry that he was about to smoke. He was also present at the time and he also felt that it was impolite. Now hearing Teng Ke's serious words, it must be true.

As an elder, he also has his own face, so he naturally would not give in. He nodded and said firmly.

"Don't worry, Ke'er. I will definitely give you an explanation after I get to the bottom of this matter."

Teng Ke didn't want to be so tough, so he gave Su Lin a way out: "Uncle Su, don't say that. Su Jie is still young and can still be educated. If she marries someone else and still does something like this, it will be more than just a simple loss of face."

Su Lin's face turned pale. Why couldn't he think of which man would allow his wife to think about someone else?

He immediately said, “I know.”

Seeing that he had almost finished talking about everything, Teng Ke exchanged a few more words with Su Lin, and finally said that he would return to the barracks for training and left the general's mansion.
