"Dad, you want to drive me away just after I got back?"

Su Qinning's eyes were filled with tears. "Instead of asking me if I'm doing well in the ancestral temple, you're worried that Su Yinyue will cause trouble."

"Between me and Su Yinyue, who is the one you watched grow up?"

After listening to her crying, Su Changyuan felt helpless and distressed, but he also knew that now was not the time to take her back.

"It's getting late. It's not safe to travel any further. Su Yinyue will be back home tomorrow morning. I'm worried that you'll run into her."

Hearing that he cared about her, Su Qinning felt better.

Su Changyuan's next words made her smile freeze on her face.

"Well, I'll personally take you back to the temple this afternoon. You better hide well in the morning and don't let Su Yinyue find you."

After explaining, Su Changyuan pointed at Su Yanfeng and said, "Why don't you study hard in the Imperial College? Why don't you skip classes and go home? Come to the study room with me!"

Before leaving, Su Yanfeng comforted Su Qinning who was in a daze.

"Don't worry, sister. Tomorrow afternoon, mother and I will help you plead with father. We will not let you return to the temple."

Su Yinyue has married into the prince's mansion and has few opportunities to return to the marquis' mansion. As long as she keeps a low profile, Su Qinning has a great chance of staying in the marquis' mansion.

Su Qinning stood there, watching them walk away, watching the corridor become empty little by little.

The moonlight was hazy, the ground was shrouded in darkness, the shadows of the trees danced in the weak light of the lanterns, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.

She has always been surrounded by people. When has she ever spent such a quiet night alone?

Fearful and resentful.

More of hatred.

"Since I can't defeat you head-on, I naturally have other ways."

"Su Yinyue, for every injury you have inflicted on me, I will repay you a thousandfold. Just wait and see."

As the night faded away, the morning light illuminated the sky and also the Yongning Marquis Mansion.

Su Yinyue jumped off the carriage and saw Su Changyuan and Liu Wan standing at the door.

Qi said, "What time is it, Dad? Aren't you going to court?"

Su Changyuan was furious, "You still know that I'm your father!"

"You don't like me calling you dad?"

Su Yinyue nodded indifferently, "Okay, I'll call you Su Changyuan from now on."

"You have no respect for me. Do you think you can call me by my name?"

Su Changyuan flicked his sleeves, "You! Rebellious girl!"

Somehow, as soon as he saw Su Yinyue, the anger in his heart burst out uncontrollably.

They must have been enemies in their previous life.

Liu Wan pushed Su Changyuan and said, "My Lord, Yin Yue is talking to you in a nice way. Don't be so arrogant."

She explained: "Now that the weather is good and the world is peaceful, the emperor has issued an order to hold court on the fifth and twentieth of every month, and all officials will perform their duties at other times."

Su Yinyue paused.

If she remembered correctly, it rained heavily for seven days when she first crossed over, and then there was no rain for a month. Now it was hot in March.

The weather is so abnormal that the peach blossoms are rarely in bloom. We are lucky that there is no drought. The weather is good and the world is peaceful.

As expected of an official, he even has the audacity to be lazy.

Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Zaiyu got off the carriage.

Su Changyuan hurried over to greet him, "Your subordinate greets His Majesty."

Jiang Zaiyu asked him to stand up and said, "Go in."

The group entered the mansion. Su Changyuan and Su Yinyue had nothing much to say, so they chatted briefly and then went to the study with Jiang Zaiyu to appreciate the paintings.

Liu Wan and Su Yinyue were left in the main hall, looking at each other in silence.

Su Yinyue lowered her head and drank tea, just wanting to go back to the palace after lunch according to custom.

She was not familiar with Liu Wan and didn't know what to talk about.

"Are you doing well in the palace?"

Liu Wan took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"pretty good."

Seeing that her face was rosy and she had gained weight, Liu Wan asked again, "Is the prince good to you?"

"It's also very good."

The two of them were chatting casually like this, not noticing a pair of red and swollen eyes looking at them from behind the screen.

That was Su Qinning who had been hiding in the main hall early in the morning.

The window behind her was half closed, and she could clearly see a maid standing outside.

While the conversation on the other end was meaningless, Su Yinyue finished a pot of tea.

Seeing this, Liu Wan ordered: "Yan Xi, go make another pot of tea."

"Yes."

Hearing this, Su Qinning, who was hiding behind the screen, perked up. She glanced at the maid outside the window and asked her to come in and serve tea.

"Madam, Second Miss, the tea is here."

Seeing that the visitor was a maid from the mansion, Liu Wan did not suspect anything and picked up the pot to pour a cup for Su Yinyue.

"If you like this tea, I'll pack some for you later and take it back to the palace to drink slowly."

Su Yinyue felt that she couldn't quite understand Liu Wan.

She beat Su Qinning like that and sent her to the ancestral temple, so how come Liu Wan had no hatred towards her at all?

Thinking of this, she picked up the teacup and took a sip.

As soon as she took a sip of the tea, she realized something was wrong.

Suddenly, the look in his eyes when he looked at Liu Wan changed.

No wonder she pretended to be a loving mother, it turns out she had ulterior motives.

Su Yinyue put down the teacup, pretended to wipe her mouth, and calmly spat the tea onto her handkerchief.

Seeing that the teacup was full, Liu Wan asked with concern, "Why don't you drink it?"

Hearing this, he took a step back from behind the screen.

The distance was too far, and Su Qinning couldn't see whether Su Yinyue drank the tea or not.

We can only judge by her movements and Liu Wan's voice.

Upon hearing Liu Wan's question, he immediately retracted his foot, and at the same time stretched his neck to look over there, his face full of anxiety.

Would Su Yinyue discover her plan?

"hot."

As she spoke, Su Yinyue looked at the positions of the maids around her.

Suddenly a good idea came to me.

She used the teapot as a cover to put an empty teacup into the space at an angle that was invisible to everyone.

Then, in front of Liu Wan, he picked up the teacup in front of him, covered it with his sleeve, and pretended to drink tea.

Su Qinning, who was lying on the screen, saw it all and couldn't help but get excited.

Become!

"boom!"

Su Qinning, who couldn't wait to get out from behind the screen, didn't care that the shaking screen made a sound because of her departure.

But Su Yinyue heard it.

She secretly became alert. Did Liu Wan arrange people behind the screen?

Just in time, the people were fished out and caught in one fell swoop.

"Good tea, another cup!"

When I put the teacup back on the table, it was empty.

Liu Wan picked up the pot and refilled it for her. "If you like, drink more."

This time, Su Yinyue didn't drink.

It turned out that the cup of tea with added ingredients was quietly staying in her space, and she didn't have a second empty teacup to replace it.

Su Yinyue stroked the teacup with her fingers, smiling intentionally.

"Madam Hou, because I didn't hit you yesterday, do you think I have a good temper?"

Liu Wan was stunned. "What?"

Without waiting for her to answer, Su Qinning couldn't help but continue, "You've already drunk the tea, it's too late to realize something's wrong now!"

Seeing her lift the bamboo curtain and walk over, Su Yinyue was surprised for a moment, and looked at Liu Wan with dangerous eyes.

"Hypocritically obeying me? Good, very good!"

Liu Wan waved her hands, "No, no, listen to my explanation!"

Su Qinning interrupted anxiously, "Mother, why do you have to be so humble to her? She has been poisoned by my medicine and will soon be powerless. Then, she will have no choice but to let us do whatever we want!"
