Madam Zeng's face immediately turned pale with fear. "No, no, no, Second Young Madam, you can't punish me based on a few words? You're forcing a confession." Seeing the cold eyes of Qin and Su Wan, Madam Zeng didn't dare to say anything more. She pulled Qin's hand again and said, "Madam, please help me say something. I did all this for you."

Qin Shi had already understood that this was all Su Wan's trap. Thinking that every question Su Wan asked was leading her to reveal the evidence, Qin Shi smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, you're on your own."

Madam Zeng froze, staring at Qin in disbelief. She was the only trustworthy person around her. Qin was truly useless. With all the evidence, how could she let Su Wan take her in? It wasn't unreasonable for Madam Qin to have looked down on her in the first place.

Before Madam Zeng could say anything, Su Wan said in a deep voice, "Come here, drag Madam Zeng away. She speaks foul language and has a vicious heart. Silence her first. This person has committed a heinous crime against the Duke's Mansion. Hang her up and deprive her of food and water."

After hearing this sentence, both Wen and Qin felt a chill in their hearts. Was Su Wan really so cruel?

To save face, Wen had Qin taken to the courtyard and placed under house arrest, waiting for daybreak to make plans. The man was also imprisoned.

Seeing that everyone had left, Su Wan turned around and walked out as well.

"Su Wan, did you really not know anything about this in advance?" Wen asked, looking at Su Wan's back, with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.

Su Wan paused. "Who would want to lose their reputation? Mother-in-law, do you believe me?"

Wen frowned, and when she met Su Wan's penetrating gaze, she felt a chill run down her spine. Did she believe it? Perhaps she hoped Su Wan would be kicked out of the house for this.

"My mother-in-law is old now. As for my sister-in-law, I will remind her not to cause trouble for my mother-in-law anymore." After saying that, Su Wan turned and left.

Wen stared blankly ahead, and only came to her senses when Nanny Li came in.

"Madame Li."

"The old slave is here."

"When did she become like this? Can a person really change so much?"

Nanny Li's expression froze, and she lowered her eyes, unable to answer. She could only console him, "The eldest young mistress has been making frequent mistakes lately. Perhaps the second young mistress's actions will be helpful. Madam, you should be happy."

Wen's smile was ambiguous, "Really? Should I be happy?"

Su Wan didn't return directly to Tingyuxuan, but instead went to Haitangyuan first. According to Wen's instructions, Qin was temporarily imprisoned there, and Su Wan was to decide her fate. Wen was putting the blame on Su Wan, after all, she didn't want to offend the Qin family.

Su Wan walked into the room and saw Qin sitting in front of the mirror, staring blankly at herself in the mirror.

"Auntie's beauty remains the same."

Qin smiled coldly, "The goal has been achieved, are you satisfied?" Sui Xin and Nanny Zeng were both sent away, and now she was truly alone.

"Auntie, what you said is very good. If they hadn't caused trouble, if I hadn't behaved inappropriately, they wouldn't have ended up like this. I should reflect on myself."

Qin sneered, "You are plotting this just to make me make a mistake so that you can get rid of the people around me and make your position as mistress more secure."

Su Wan's expression was calm, showing no emotion. "Auntie, you think too highly of yourself." She walked over to the couch behind Qin and sat down. "Come to think of it, your family doesn't seem to care much about you. They ignored you when you were in your prime, and now they're probably even more reluctant to see you like this."

Qin looked at Su Wan's disgusting face through the mirror, then turned around and pointed at her, saying, "Ugly thing, what qualifications do you have to stand here and mock me? How long do you think you can stay in glory? Do you really think that breaking the secret will allow you to live comfortably as the Crown Prince's wife?"

Qin burst into laughter. "Don't dream! If something really happens to me, do you think the Qin family will let it go? By then, can the Su family save you?"

"Really?" Su Wan took over the conversation. "Are you that important to the Qin family? If you died tomorrow, would the Qin family come to seek justice for you? As for concubines, they have plenty of them. It wouldn't be a bad idea to marry another one."

"So? What's your purpose now? Even if it's just to laugh at my joke."

"This kind of joke is too boring. I just want to remind you, sister-in-law, don't count on your mother-in-law to forgive you. No one can save you from the mistake you made this time."

"Isn't it all because of you?" Qin's face darkened in the dim light. She stood up and attacked Su Wan, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!" But she was stopped by the servants who followed.

Seeing that Qin was angry and too noisy, Su Wan got up and left.

After leaving Haitang Garden, Liu Shang followed Su Wan, "Young Madam, are you trying to anger the Eldest Madam? If the Qin family gets involved, wouldn't it be even more difficult for us?" Liu Shang was a little worried.

Su Wan walked ahead and said, "We'll know sooner or later. Besides, the Qin family has been wanting to take action against the Su family for a long time. If we don't resolve it now, there will be endless troubles."

In the previous life, the Qin family made great efforts to help the Zheng and Yu families move to the Su family. In this life, they must not give them such an opportunity.

"Tomorrow, have someone report that my sister-in-law allowed the servants to harm the master, and then say that the Zheng family has tolerated Qin enough."

"Yes."

Su Wan looked at the night sky again. If this matter was to succeed, she would probably need someone else's help.

The matter of the Duke's Mansion has just come to an end, but few people know that Zheng Yanchen's delay in returning home was due to some difficult problems.

The fragrance-filled private room was filled with an ambiguous and charming atmosphere. In front of the large couch, clothes were scattered everywhere, as if telling of the passion and madness just now. Zheng Yanchen woke up slowly on the couch, and the unique fragrance of the woman lingered in his nose. He subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see the woman with her back to him, revealing her snow-white back. Zheng Yanchen frowned slightly and called out hoarsely, "Wan'er?"

But the woman still didn't respond. Zheng Yanchen stood up and sat on the edge of the couch. He had a severe headache from drinking too much. He supported his hands on both sides and looked around with calm eyes. Suddenly, his eyes widened.

This isn't the Duke's Mansion! He then suddenly looked at the woman behind him, only to see her turn over and slowly open her eyes.

"Liu Yurong?" Zheng Yanchen opened his mouth in disbelief, and Liu Yurong saw Zheng Yanchen's face full of disbelief. She looked at her whole body and suddenly stood up, picking up the only remaining clothes to cover her upper body.

"Mr. Zheng Erlang?" Obviously, Liu Yurong was also at a loss.

Zheng Yanchen quickly turned his head away, stood up and put on his clothes, "Ride the wind! Ride the wind!"

He didn't dare to shout loudly to avoid attracting other people's attention, but Chengfeng was not around. Zheng Yanchen had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Mr. Zheng Erlang, we..."

"What happened today was not my intention. Someone must have tampered with it. I'm sorry, I'll give you an explanation once I've taken some time."

As he spoke, Zheng Yanchen pushed open the door. It was already midnight and curfew had long been over. The upstairs was extremely quiet.

Zheng Yanchen took a look and retreated. He pressed his brows together and sat down in front of the screen, gazing at Qianweilou. Chengfeng couldn't just leave him like that. Something must have happened. And why did he come here for such an inexplicable reason? He tried to recall what happened last night, but he only vaguely remembered that Uncle Liu had invited many people to drink, including members of the Qin, Shen, Zhu, and Zhu families.

Zheng Yanchen's eyes darkened. The Zhu family is now closer to the Wang family, so is it the Wang family or the Liu family that is plotting against the Zheng family?
