Jiang Zai Yu stopped moving and couldn't help but look back.

Su Yinyue's face was calm, and she stood in the corridor as steadily as a green bamboo, with slender shoulders and a thin waist, and the hem of her plain skirt was blown into bloom by the evening breeze.

Pure and cool, with her skirt fluttering in the wind.

If it weren't for the bright red flower ornament between her eyebrows, there would be no sign of today's wedding.

Jiang Zai Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked a little dazed.

The emperor and his father are supreme, and the rules and etiquette have woven a spider web that wraps him up tightly, almost suffocating him.

At this time, Su Yinyue, who dared to take the risk and beat and scold Su Changyuan and the other two, freed him from some restraints.

It became natural to indulge Su Yinyue.

It was a kind of inexplicable compensatory psychology, treating her as a free and lively self without any strange disease.

Su Yinyue is the nineteen-year-old who has a bright future.

Neither of them spoke, and the scene was silent.

After a long time without an answer, Su Yinyue was the first to break the silence, "Do you have a grudge against Su Changyuan?"

"No."

Jiang Zaiyu lowered his eyebrows, raised the corners of his mouth, and said nonchalantly: "The Yongning Marquis in the court is calm and upright, upright and dignified. It's interesting to see him embarrassed once in a while, isn't it?"

Su Yinyue's eyes twitched slightly. She didn't expect that Jiang Zaiyu, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would have such a bad taste.

"I have a feeling that you will be able to see another side of Su Changyuan more often in the future."

Jiang Zaiyu smiled and said, "Me too."

Su Yinyue waved her hand, "You go back and rest. I'll go back to Furong Courtyard to listen to Nanny Qin's intensive class on entering the palace."

I hope everything goes smoothly when I enter the palace tomorrow and no one causes any trouble.

-

Yongninghou Mansion.

As the night deepened, Su Changyuan and others who had rushed home before curfew gathered in the hall.

Aunt Yan knelt down and admitted her fault with a serious attitude, "My Lord, Madam, I accepted Yin Yue's dowry and betrothal gifts not out of selfishness, but for Yin Yue's brother!"

"Although I have not given birth yet, Yin Yue is about to get married, and I am of humble status. If I miss this opportunity, I am afraid I will never have another chance to accumulate the foundation for my brother Yin Yue to establish himself!"

Liu Wan's anger, which had just subsided, flared up again, and she asked coldly, "Are you accusing me, as a legitimate mother, of mistreating my illegitimate son?"

"If I really treat you harshly, how can a concubine like you come and go freely in the mansion?"

"I don't dare."

Aunt Yan bit her lips, frowned slightly, and gave a pitiful look to Su Changyuan who was sitting above, hoping that he could save her.

Su Changyuan gently opened the tea lid, blew away the foam on his face, and ignored Aunt Yan's sobbing.

There was no other way, so Aunt Yan had to bite the bullet and answer Liu Wan, "I thought Yin Yue was my elder sister, and she would definitely not want her brother to be looked down upon, so I was blinded by greed and did something that did not take into account the reputation of the Marquisate."

"I am willing to be punished."

After saying this, Aunt Yan knelt down on the ground, waiting obediently for Liu Wan's decision.

With Su Yinyue around, she was sure that Liu Wan would not take her life.

Thinking of this, Aunt Yan, who was crawling on the ground, looked bitter. The person whom she disliked from the bottom of her heart actually became her life-saving talisman.

Liu Wan said nothing more. Her eyes passed Aunt Yan who was kneeling on the ground and went to the door.

She was waiting for the results of Chunying's interrogation.

Time passed little by little, and Aunt Yan didn't hear Liu Wan speak, so she started to have wild thoughts.

Hundreds of candles were lit in the main hall for lighting, making it bright. The crackling sound of the burning candle wicks struck Aunt Yan's heart again and again, making her very uncomfortable.

She felt the wound on her shoulder caused by Su Yinyue becoming more and more painful, but she didn't dare to take a deep breath, for fear of losing the breath she had forced herself to hold on to.

At this time, Yan Xi's figure appeared at the door.

Liu Wan gently stroked the hairpin on her temples and said sternly, "The Spring Oriole who served you has been captured by me."

"Since you are Yin Yue's mother, I can give you a chance to live as long as you confess."

Chunying was caught?

Aunt Yan was horrified and subconsciously looked up at Liu Wan, wanting to see if she was lying to her.

I only heard Liu Wan say: "Yan Si, I don't believe what you said."

"According to the custom in the capital, the eldest son inherits the family business, and the remaining sons can all get a share of the family property. If you treat the illegitimate son harshly and don't give him a penny, it is a sign of family chaos."

"Besides, your son's marriage should be arranged by me as his stepmother. I will not ruin the reputation of the Marquisate and put myself in an unjust position."

Aunt Yan didn't know how to explain, "I, I..."

Just at this moment, Yan Xi walked past her and handed Liu Wan a bloodstained paper.

"Ma'am, this is Chunying's confession."

This fatal blow made Yan Si's body stagger, and her face, which had already lost too much blood, became even paler.

Finished!

Her death is approaching.

Unexpectedly, Liu Wan put the confession on the table and turned to Yan Si and said earnestly, "Yan Si, if you don't speak before I start my confession, you can only go down to accompany Chun Ying."

Aunt Yan felt cold all over and had a splitting headache. The nameless fear tore her soul in two and she just sat there in a daze.

His mind was in a mess. For a moment he thought that Su Yinyue was the Princess of Yu, and Liu Wan would not kill her because she was afraid of harming the innocent.

After a while, a voice rose in her heart telling her that if she confessed she would surely die!

Suddenly, as if she thought of something, Aunt Yan's dim and dejected eyes lit up with a strange light.

This discovery made her breathe faster and she was willing to take a chance.

"Madam, I am a loving mother, and I really did it for my son. I have never been told to do anything by anyone."

Liu Wan's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she didn't lie.

It turned out that as early as Yan Xi stepped over the threshold of the main hall and saw Yan Si with her back to him, he shook his head at Liu Wan imperceptibly.

It means that Chunying committed suicide and nothing was revealed.

Next, getting Yan Si to confess on her own was just a joint act between the two of them, relying on their years of tacit understanding as master and servant, in an attempt to coax Yan Si into telling the truth.

Chunying is gone, and nothing has been found out about Yechunyuan. There is no way of knowing what Aunt Yan wants to do by making money and hiding her martial arts.

Looking at the dried blood on Aunt Yan's shoulder, Liu Wan smiled. Since Aunt Yan had revealed her true colors, she would take the opportunity to cut off another arm of hers.

"Yujuan, bring the medicine to Aunt Yan."

As soon as she finished speaking, a bowl of steaming medicine was brought to Aunt Yan.

"What kind of medicine is this?"

Aunt Yan asked Yujuan in a low voice, she didn't think Liu Wan would be kind enough to give her medicine to treat her injuries.

Yujuan's voice was gentle, and the words she uttered made Aunt Yan feel cold all over.

"This is the Qi-dissolving powder that Madam specially asked me to make for you. Look, it's still warm."

boom!

Aunt Yan was in great confusion, as if struck by lightning.

After drinking the Hua Gong Powder, her martial arts skills will be lost and her body will collapse.

"Madam, I have been serving you since I was thirteen. If a thirteen-year-old girl is really scheming, how could she hide it so thoroughly? I am only able to hold on until now because I am used to doing physical labor. I really don't know martial arts."

Aunt Yan was in tears, but she was thinking in her heart whether she should pretend to faint.

She couldn't accept the fact that she had gone from being a healthy person to being sickly.
