It's all ruined, who cares about the chastity arch

His eyes were slightly red, as if something warm was about to overflow.

Turning to look at the servant beside him, his voice became firm and powerful, "From today on, no one in the mansion is allowed to be disrespectful to the Second Young Madam."

Hidden beneath the order is his reflection and intention to make up for his past behavior.

The servant quickly responded, with a hint of awe in his voice, "Yes, Second Young Master."

Zheng Chengyan's eyes were fixed on the tightly closed door again. Every word he said was as heavy as a thousand pounds. "If anyone violates this order, he will be punished with a cane and expelled from the Zheng Mansion immediately!"

"Yes, Second Young Master."

The servant responded hastily, his voice full of surprise and obedience to the decision.

When Mrs. Guo was in charge in the past, the servants in the mansion might whisper and talk a lot, but now that the person in charge has been replaced by Mrs. Guo, the atmosphere in the Zheng mansion has also quietly changed.

Not long ago, a maid was discovered by Mrs. Xiao Zhou for discussing Su Wanyu in private. She was punished in public, received forty loud slaps, and was eventually sold out of the mansion.

As soon as this incident happened, everyone in the mansion knew about it. The servants were all respectful and courteous when they saw the Second Young Lady.

Zheng Chengyan suddenly realized it at this moment, but it seemed too late.

That night, he stood alone outside his wife's yard until the sky began to turn white, and then slowly left when the morning light appeared.

The next morning, when Su Wanyu learned the news from her personal maid Yun Yi, she almost choked on the mouthwash in her mouth.

"You said he stood outside my yard until dawn last night?"

There was disbelief in her tone.

Yun Yi hurriedly handed over a handkerchief, wiped the corners of her mouth, and nodded to confirm, "Yes, Miss, An Yi and An Er saw it with their own eyes when they were patrolling at night. The second young master stood there for a long time."

Taking the handkerchief, Su Wanyu wiped the water stains off her face, feeling mixed emotions. "There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Let Yuxuan come back."

"Yes, ma'am."

Yun Yi took the order and left, and soon brought back Yu Xuan who was hiding in the dark.

Dressed in black and holding a sharp sword, Yu Xuan walked into the house and reported quietly, "The Second Young Master went to Prince Liang's mansion immediately after the Fourth Young Lady was buried."

"What does he want to do with King Liang?"

Su Wanyu became even more confused.

Yuxuan continued, "The Second Young Master did not stay in Prince Liang's Mansion for long. He met the Prince Regent unexpectedly on his way back."

"Oh? He met Gu Linjun? Was there any unpleasantness between the two?"

Su Wanyu's voice was inquiring.

Yu Xuan gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, recalling what happened that night, "I was far away and couldn't hear the conversation clearly, I only saw the second young master kneeling on the ground with a terrified expression."

Su Wanyu frowned, thinking, "It must be a big deal to make Zheng Chengyan lose his composure like this."

"I will continue to monitor the Second Young Master's movements and report any developments immediately. Also, please keep an eye on Prince Liang to see if he has any unusual behavior."

she ordered.

"Yes, ma'am."

Yuxuan responded and left, just in time to meet Liu'er who was walking into the yard. The latter jumped onto the roof lightly with agile movements.

Liu'er is a frequent visitor here and is no stranger to the many masters in the mansion, but this figure today is particularly eye-catching.

She paused for a moment, pretending not to see it, and strode into the yard.

"Second Young Madam."

Liu'er's arrival interrupted Su Wanyu's thoughts. Her laughter was clear and pleasant, like a ray of warmth in the morning breeze.

After calming down, Su Wanyu went out to greet him.

Today she was dressed simply, with only an exquisitely carved gold peony hairpin inserted diagonally in her hair. Her emerald green short coat and goose yellow gauze coat complemented each other, with a hint of green in the light yellow, just like the budding osmanthus flowers in early autumn, fresh and refined.

"Sister, why did you come to see me so early? What's the matter?"

Su Wanyu asked Xiang Liuer with a smile.

Liu Er smiled brightly, "Second Young Madam, do you still remember the eldest brother I mentioned last time?"

Su Wanyu nodded slightly.

Liu'er was born into a complicated family with many brothers and sisters. In order to support the family, her mother sent her to Zheng's house and often came to ask for money and property.

After many unsuccessful attempts to intercept them, Su Wanyu finally decided to flatly refuse any member of Liu'er's family from setting foot in the mansion. This move was like building an indestructible wall against the endless troubles in Liu'er's family, gradually calming down the disturbances.

Liu Er had a faint smile on her face, as if she was telling someone else's interesting story: "Speaking of my eldest brother, he used to be just a follower of the eldest son of the Pei family. Who would have thought that he died in an ordinary farmhouse outside the city yesterday for unknown reasons."

"A farmhouse outside the city..."

Su Wanyu's heart suddenly tightened, and she vaguely felt a hint of unusual aura spreading quietly, "Which farm family is it?"

Liu Er continued, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "It was the Wang family. The whole family died overnight because they accidentally ate something they shouldn't have. My eldest brother was not spared either."

Hearing this, Su Wanyu frowned slightly, with a gleam of inquiry in her eyes, and asked further: "Does your eldest brother have any connection with the Wang family?"

Liu Er shook her head gently, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes: "My eldest brother doesn't have many true friends. His greatest pleasure is to act as Master Pei's vanguard."

Su Wanyu savored this information carefully, and soon she seemed to understand something.

Although Boss Liu was the confidant of Young Master Pei, he unexpectedly died in the residence of the fake princess carefully set up by Zheng Yinyin.

It seems that there must be an inextricable connection between the Pei family and this series of events.

She suddenly realized, and her worries were relieved a little. Her face softened, and she comforted Liu'er, "Although your elder brother has passed away, it is not a bad thing. At least he can't send people to embarrass you and ask for money anymore."

Liu'er nodded gently, but there was a hint of sadness in her smile, and her eyes turned red again.

Su Wanyu saw this, fearing that she would burst into tears, and hurriedly pulled out a delicate handkerchief from her sleeve, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a bit of reproach but also full of pity: "You, when will you change your sensitive nature?"

Liu Er looked up at Su Wanyu, tears and smiles in her eyes: "My heart cannot hide things. When I feel sad, I cry and my heart will feel better."

"Second Young Madam, now that Madam and Jiang Yingying are gone, you should also make plans for yourself. Find a suitable time and part ways with the Second Young Master as soon as possible."

Su Wanyu patted the back of her hand gently, her tone full of soothing power: "Don't worry, the time will come."

Liu Er wiped the tears from her face and nodded heavily.

And just last night, Su Wanyu had sorted out the Su family's accounts in order, and a bold plan emerged in her mind - to open teahouses in the thirteen prefectures of the Great Qi Kingdom. On the surface, they seemed to provide a place to quench thirst and rest, but in fact they were collecting intelligence from the world.
