Marrying a concubine to seduce him and lure him into the game
Chapter 56 Elopement
When Su Rao heard this, she immediately became alert and became very interested in Su Wan's affairs.
"Poisoned? Or snake venom? So serious?"
She asked, and the memory of the snake venom made her tremble. It was a bone-eating pain, and her skin gradually festered. Every minute and every second was torture.
"Yes, all the famous doctors in the city are helpless, and her condition is getting worse. Although she is alive now, her body has begun to fester and the stench is unbearable. With nowhere else to turn, they actually want to ask me for help from the imperial physician."
When Su Yi said this, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
Su Wan's move was as if she had grabbed a straw in despair, hoping to use it to turn things around.
Su Yi knew very well that behind all the superficial glory were countless falls and rises, but Su Wan did not seem to truly understand the hardships involved.
"Even if I were Princess Yi, how could I easily mobilize the imperial physician?" Su Yi asked herself.
She knew very well that Su Wan's behavior was not worth the risk, and Su Rao...
Su Rao would never let herself fall to this point!
"I heard that she was poisoned in order to give drugs to Huo Chengjun. How can the Huo family just sit back and watch?"
There was a hint of anger in Su Rao's questioning. The grudges from her previous life made her attitude towards the Huo family particularly complicated.
"My father went to the Huo family, but the Huo family said that Su Wan was accidentally bitten by a snake."
Su Yi's tone was calm, but he couldn't hide a hint of sympathy and confusion about Su Wan's situation.
It seems that Su Wan’s poisoning this time was not only due to her own misfortune, but also a bit of misunderstanding and indifference from the outside world.
This was very different from what Su Yi remembered, and the wheel of fate seemed to be heading in a different direction...

At the other end of Liufu Street, in the Yu family's mansion, Yin Youfu keenly noticed that his nephew's recent whereabouts had become somewhat unusual.
Yin Taochen, a young man who usually immerses himself in the sea of books and is accompanied by the scent of ink, has been acting out of character in recent days, with the book in his hand replaced by endless contemplation.
In the study, those ancient thread-bound books that he once regarded as treasures lay quietly on the desk, with no one reading them. Only the sunlight filtered through the window, casting mottled shadows on the yellowed pages.
Yin Youfu, the only elder in the family who could discuss matters with him, was full of worries.
One day, he couldn't help but step into Yin Taochen's quiet world, trying to find out the reason behind the sudden change.
"Tao'er, why aren't you working as hard as usual these days? The imperial examination is coming up, and the glory of our Yu family, as well as the explanation to your brother's spirit in heaven, all depend on you."
Yin Youfu's tone was full of expectation and worry.
Yin Taochen slowly raised his eyes, his gaze was profound beyond his years, "Uncle, let's put aside the imperial examination for now."
Those few simple words were like a huge rock dropped into a calm lake.
Yin Youfu's heart tightened, "Let it go? How can I do that? You are the hope of our Yu family. If you give up studying, how can you succeed and revive the family?"
His words revealed his fear for the future and his helplessness about Yin Taochen's sudden decision.
Facing his uncle's questioning, Yin Taochen's expression became more serious than ever before, "Uncle, aunt, and Yu Yuan, I think you should leave the capital for a while."
These words came like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present.
Yin Youfu was speechless for a moment, his face full of confusion, "Leave? Where to? We have lived here for generations, our relatives, friends and neighbors are all here, where can we find a paradise if we leave?"
Yin Taochen's answer was concise and solemn, "The farther the better."
Just when Yin Youfu was about to ask further questions, Yin Taochen said no more.
At this moment, the dull atmosphere in the room was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps, and a servant rushed in, "Oh no! Something happened to Yu Yuan! He was said to have stolen the boss's money and has been sent to the government!"
In the kitchen, Qian rushed over after hearing the news, her face pale and her voice trembling, "How could Yuan'er do such a thing?"
Yin Youfu hurriedly steadied the shaky Qian, his heart in turmoil, "How is this possible? Yuan'er is so honest, how could he steal something?"
Faced with the sudden crisis, Yin Taochen showed unusual calmness, "I have a classmate who has a wide network of contacts, maybe I can ask him to help find out the truth."
The spark of hope rekindled in Qian's eyes, "Tang'er, I'm counting on you. You must help Yuan'er."
Yin Taochen nodded heavily, his eyes revealing determination, "Don't worry, Auntie."
However, once he stepped out of the house and away from the concerned gazes, Yin Taochen's face became gloomy and a complex look flashed in his eyes.
All these changes seemed to be another test in the cycle of fate. He knew that the source of all the waves pointed to himself.
Even without his aunt's plea, he would take the responsibility, because this is not only to rescue Yu Yuan, but also to uncover the secrets buried deep in his heart and fight against the fate of his family.
Not long ago, a series of fragments that seemed to be buried in time began to quietly emerge in his mind. These memory fragments were connected in series to piece together a complete past.
Yin Taochen's heart suddenly shook, and all kinds of things from another world surged in his mind. Those were memories of another life, his previous life.
These memories told him that before long, Awan, who was as gentle as water and whose smile was as bright as spring flowers, would encounter a sudden misfortune and leave this world quietly.
And under the pressure of his family, he will be forced to marry into the powerful Huo family.
In his previous life, he desperately investigated the cause of Awan's death, and finally uncovered the shocking secret hidden behind it - it turned out that it was not a simple natural disaster, but the result of someone's secret manipulation.
Whenever he recalled this, Yin Taochen's heart was gnawing at self-blame. Why didn't he notice it sooner and save her from that fatal whirlpool?
When Awan left with endless despair and pain, did those eyes that once sparkled with stars also hide deep disappointment for his failure to protect her?
It was this kind of regret and pain that drove him to make an almost crazy decision - to elope with Awan and escape from this world full of conspiracy.
However, Awan did not show up at the place they agreed to meet.
That night, the moonlight was bright and he stood alone in the cold wind. The despair and sadness in his heart were even worse than the cold wind.
In the end, he was powerless to reverse the fate that had already been determined.
At the same time, the shadow of the Huo family loomed over him again. Just like in his previous life, because his marriage proposal was rejected, he began to ruthlessly retaliate against his uncle's family.
He once tried to rely on the help of his classmates and ran around to rescue his uncle Yu Yuan who was innocently implicated, but what he ended up with was his cousin's innocent and tragic death in prison. His uncle almost sacrificed himself to protect his family, but was instead ambushed. His aunt was also hit hard and suffered a mental breakdown.
The source of all tragedies seemed to point to his weakness and incompetence.
