After the rebirth of the wronged soft girl, the devil's crematorium

For the past two days, Su Wan had been staying at Tingyuxuan, citing illness as an excuse. Furthermore, word of her previous disagreement with Zheng Yanchen had reached Wen Shi's ears. In recent days, Wen Shi had grown increasingly dissatisfied with Su Wan. However, there was nothing she could do; she was frail, and someone had to take charge.

Su Wan also didn't know that a lot of things were happening outside.

"Successful?" In the study, Zheng Weilan became alert after hearing that the ambush was successful.

"Yes." Zheng Yanchen said, "The people we were following withdrew after we determined their route. I heard from the guards that they left no one behind and took back the compensation."

"Alright!" Zheng Weilan clapped his hands, a smile in his eyes, "As long as I don't have any evidence against him, let's see what Xie Yin can do to me!"

"What about the businessman named Zhou?"

"Don't worry about him. I've already informed Jingzhao Prefecture. Don't worry, they will take care of it."

Zheng Yanchen felt completely relieved upon hearing this. "I've always disliked that guy, but now that he's no longer a threat, let's see how he dares to act so arrogantly in front of us!" With that, the two of them walked out the door and boarded the carriage to the palace.

"Have they all been sent away?" Zheng Yanchen and Cang Yi were riding side by side, also heading towards the palace.

"Yes, they have all been sent away and are now heading towards Ningzhou."

Xie Yin smiled faintly, "I'm really looking forward to it. What will Liu Yi do if he finds out that the people who ambushed him are his own people?"

Liu Yi was the Minister of War and a member of the Yu clan. After returning from Yizhou, Xie Yin began keeping a close eye on Liu Yi. Learning that he was sending some property back home today, he deliberately had the tea merchants choose that day and reveal their whereabouts to the Zheng family. Unexpectedly, the Zheng family fell for it.

"Let's go quickly and see if Duke Zheng is very happy today." Coincidentally, just as they arrived at the palace gate, they met the Zheng father and son getting off the carriage.

"Duke Zheng, long time no see." Xie Yin greeted lazily.

Duke Zheng's expression was less enthusiastic than it had been a few days ago. He stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Chief, for coming early today."

Xie Yin had a smile in his eyes, "I've been waiting for you, Duke."

There was an inexplicable tone in every word Xie Yin said, which made Zheng Yanchen feel a little uncomfortable.

"Father, please go in quickly." Zheng Yanchen said with a gloomy look.

Zheng Weilan nodded lightly to Xie Yin, and the father and son walked into the palace.

"What kind of people are they?"

Looking at that straight back, Xie Yin crossed his arms and sneered, "What an impolite guy."

In the evening, Tingyuxuan.

Su Wan was making a bell for her little boy at her desk. The bell, hanging from a red string, was small and exquisite, with delicate patterns carved on it. Su Wan tied the bell around the little boy's neck. The little boy was a little resistant and ran outside, and the bell rang.

Su Wan immediately laughed when she saw the little butt twisting back and forth.

Nanny Li watched Su Wan's happy smile from the side, and she felt happy too. Although Su Wan had pretended to be nonchalant in front of everyone these past two days, she knew that Su Wan must be concerned. This child had always been reluctant to bring her depression to those around her, and this was what Nanny felt most distressed about.

At this time, Liu Yan walked in. "Young Madam, the people you asked Manager Liu to arrange have been arranged. Three waves of troops have been arranged in the northeast, northwest, and east directions respectively. The people in the east are more concealed."

Su Wan nodded. She remembered that in her previous life, her father had fled with his men to the southwestern border, though that was only the general direction. Xie Yin wanted news about her father, and Su Wan couldn't really reveal it to him, so she agreed to it in a way that made it more obvious. This way, the eyes of those who cared about her father would unconsciously turn to these three directions.

It was soon time for dinner. Su Wan walked around the screen and came to the small table. She looked at the food on the table, which was all her favorite, but she couldn't muster up an appetite.

"Erlang, do you still like to go to Qianweilou to drink these days?" Su Wan picked up the spoon and stirred the porridge in the bowl.

Liuyan: “Yes.”

Su Wan nodded. "By the way, are the dried fruits I promised to send to my second aunt a few days ago ready?"

"Ready."

Cheng likes dried fruits but can't eat those that are too sweet. Compared with those sold in shops on the street, Cheng prefers Su Wan's homemade ones.

"Send it tomorrow, and send an invitation to my aunt. Ask her to bring Jiang Yun over some other day."

Soon after her marriage, the Su family often visited her. However, after a few visits, she noticed that Wen Shi's expression was unhappy, and Cheng Shi, fearing causing trouble for Su Wan, rarely visited. Mentioning Jiang Yun reminded Su Wan of the time in her past life when she had someone defile her. Su Wan gripped the bowl tightly, her eyes darkening. Now that she was back, she had to see this good sister.

Liuyan agreed and went out to prepare. At this moment, she saw Liushang running into the yard in a hurry.

"What are you so anxious about?"

Liu Shang smiled with his eyes curved, "Of course it's a big deal." When Liu Yan heard it, he hurried in to listen.

"When I came from the eldest young lady's courtyard today, I saw Erlangjun being carried into the backyard."

Su Wan looked up and asked, "Who hit you?"

Liu Shang analyzed: "It looks like he was beaten with a stick. The wound on his back is bright red. Erlangjun looks very bad. He was probably beaten in the palace." After all, who else but the emperor would dare to offend the people of the Duke's Mansion.

Su Wan held the silver chopsticks, a little dazed. Is this such a coincidence? Whatever I thought of, it would come true?

"Young Madam?"

"what?"

"What about us?"

Su Wan thought for a moment and said, "Liushang, send some food to Chengfeng."

After a while, the food was handed to Chengfeng. Chengfeng waited obediently outside with the food box in hand. At this moment, the head of the family and Zheng Yanchen were discussing matters inside the house.

"I'll take a leave of absence tomorrow and won't go to court." Zheng Weilan said with a sullen face.

"Father, we offended Uncle Liu today. This is a warning from the Emperor and the Yu family. If I don't go tomorrow, I'm afraid that bastard Xie Yin will use this as a pretext to make trouble again. I'll just apply some medicine today and I'll be fine tomorrow."

"Hmph!" Zheng Weilan's face turned dark with anger.

I thought the last incident would be over, but I didn't expect Xie Yin to secretly send the person away and even set a trap. They actually robbed Liu Yi's carriage! This time, they offended all their own people. After learning the whole story, the Yu family blamed them for not discussing it in advance, making the Zheng family feel embarrassed.

"We've suffered this loss, so we must be even more cautious from now on. Xie Yin has something on us, and we have a lot on him too. We can only agree to it for now. That's fine, but if he pushes further, we'll expose his shameful deeds. At worst, we'll fight to the death!"

Xie Yin lay on the couch, pounding the bed with his fists clenched, and he was sweating from the pain.

"Alright, you take a good rest first, and I'll take care of the rest. I'll go talk to those people. Also, you and that guy don't get along at first glance. If he gets hold of something, he'll definitely kill you."

Zheng Weilan walked out and saw Chengfeng walking in with a food box. He suddenly remembered something and turned around and said, "Strange, what have those old women in the inner courtyard been doing lately? I don't care about these things, but what's the point of them chattering? Ask Wan'er to take good care of them and stop them from staying in their room all the time looking at the account book!"

Zheng Weilan thought that Su Wan was too soft-hearted, causing the servants to not understand the rules.

"My son knows."

"My lord, this was sent by the young lady. Liushang also brought medicine for wounds." Chengfeng placed the food box on the table and handed the medicine to Zheng Yanchen.

Zheng Yanchen stared at the purple medicine bottle for a long time, his thick eyelashes masking the emotions in his eyes. Thinking of Su Wan's disgusted expression that night, he gave a wry smile.
