I just want to die of old age

Chapter 96: The Fight in the Marquis' Mansion - Cannon Fodder, Real Gold 28

The more I thought about it, the uglier my face became. I clenched my fists tightly and shook with anger.

Lord Su Muyun noticed that my expression was not right.

I was extremely angry, but my thoughts became clearer.

I described the problem I found to the Marquis.

The Marquis also noticed something was wrong. He supported his head with his hands and lowered his head to think carefully.

He had never seen Su Mingyu's so-called biological parents and didn't know what they looked like, but Yuzhu had seen them.

Yuzhu has always been very intelligent. She would not joke about such things, let alone tell lies. In other words, Su Mingyu's life experience is indeed a bit strange.

The expression on Marquis Su Muyun's face gradually became ugly, and his eyes were like a deep and bottomless sea, making it difficult to see.

Marquis Su Muyun thought for a long time before his deep voice rang out again: "Do you think that the fact that you two were taken away by mistake was not an accident?"

I was bored and flipping through the books on the table. My face became hazy and I was in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.

Suddenly I heard the Marquis's question. I squeezed my hands to regain my consciousness and replied, "I just suspected Su Mingyu's background and naturally thought of this, but there is no evidence yet."

"This matter cannot be underestimated. We must investigate it thoroughly. I think the other party has big plans."

I also felt something was wrong, especially when I thought about Su Mingyu's later ending, I felt that something was wrong.

Later, Su Mingyu married the third prince Li Ruojia as the eldest daughter of Nanyang Marquis's Mansion and became the third prince's consort. Later, she became the queen.

Everything went incredibly smoothly, as if with divine help. What if there was indeed someone helping in secret?

So what is their purpose?

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. How many conspiracies and intrigues were hidden behind this? I felt as if there was a huge net that covered all of us.

I have discovered before that Su Mingyu has been in close contact with the third prince Li Ruojia. Could there be someone behind the scenes pushing this?

Marquis Su Muyun talked to me about the situation of my former adoptive parents, and it seems that he intends to investigate it in detail.

I told him everything I knew and left the study.

Before I left, my father told me not to let the news leak out, or it would alert the enemy and attract the attention of the people behind the scenes. Especially the wife of the Marquis Xiang Yayan, who has always loved Su Mingyu very much and is the easiest to be exposed.

I strolled aimlessly in the garden, my brows slightly furrowed, the corners of my mouth drooping, and I was not in a good mood.

My adoptive parents are also surnamed Su, which saved me from having to change my name. But this surname is not strange, after all, in Sujia Village, Su is a common surname, and it is close to the capital, not too far away, but the place is relatively remote.

It was the need of the plot that made the lady of the Marquis's mansion come to the village inexplicably and saw me inexplicably.

I guess this was beyond the expectations of the mastermind behind this.

Come to think of it, I have indeed encountered many accidents since I came back.

Whether it was the poison that inexplicably appeared in the mansion, or the fact that his reputation was almost ruined in the Princess's mansion.

However, during the investigation, no trace was found and all the evidence suddenly disappeared.

I increasingly feel that the person behind the scenes is unfathomable and has great power, and can even come and go freely in the Princess's Mansion.

How can one not feel chilled?

But when I thought about it carefully, my adoptive parents were just ordinary people. I tried hard to recall the details, but didn't find anything wrong. It seemed that they were unaware of the situation.

My adoptive father, Su Laosan, is indeed an honest and dull farmer. He usually likes to work silently with his head down and is not good at speaking.

However, my adoptive mother Li Chunhua's attitude seemed a little strange. She didn't love me very much. She looked at me with suspicion from time to time, and her attitude towards me was hot and cold.

When my background was unknown, her attitude towards the children was completely different.

Different from the love and care he showed to other children,

I have always been ignored, and I even have no status in the family. I have to do all the dirty and tiring work.

Therefore, I have always been skeptical about the matter of taking the wrong child away. After all, no mother would treat her own flesh and blood like this.

It seems that Li Chunhua knew something. She must have been suspicious and uncertain, thinking that her child was enjoying a good life in a wealthy family.

I couldn't help but pout and complain, but they didn't even get rid of me completely. They must be crazy.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but burst out laughing, and a mocking smile appeared on my face.

It seems that I am quite important in this world. At least I am an important female supporting role, who provides an identity for the heroine Su Mingyu and later becomes a stepping stone for her advancement.

After I left the study, Marquis Su Muyun made a gesture, and a masked secret guard came out from the secret door, knelt respectfully in front of the Marquis, clasped his hands together, and lowered his head to listen to instructions.

Marquis Su Muyun lost his gentleness towards me. With a majestic aura and a gloomy face, he said in a hoarse voice, "Arrange people to go to Sujia Village to investigate the situation of Su Laosan's family. Are there any strange people approaching them? Investigate everything for me. Also, secretly find someone to follow Su Mingyu and see who she is in contact with. Don't alert the enemy yet."

He thought carefully and made a series of arrangements in an instant. He frowned, wondering if there was anything he had not considered carefully.

He thought about it again and again and reminded: "Arrange someone to secretly protect Yuzhu, don't let her get hurt, and don't take risks again."

After hearing the Marquis's order, the secret guard Shadow rushed to carry out the mission.

The Marquis stroked his forehead, his head aching. He had a bad feeling in his heart. He felt uneasy if he didn't investigate thoroughly this time.

The iron door of the cell was closed. There was no light at all, only the whistling cold wind and the faint sound of breathing.

There were heavy footsteps outside the cell. It turned out to be the jailer coming to deliver food.

The jailer was holding a large food box in his hand. He looked around quietly but did not see any other people.

He carefully took out a few steamed buns and a few dishes, placed them next to the door of one of the cells, lowered his voice, and called out in a rough voice, "It's time for dinner."

After hearing the shouting, several wounded men dragged their feet to the front.

If I were here, I would definitely recognize them. They are the men in black who tried to assassinate me before. I sent them all to the Ministry of Justice prison.
