Upon hearing that Su Lin had cornered the men in the side room, Su Yanshu hurried to Su Si Niang's courtyard, while Cheng Shi was busy sealing off the entire mansion to prevent the news from leaking out. By now, she naturally thought that this matter might be related to Su Si Niang. If this were to get out, it would be a huge joke for the Su family.

Soon, Su Yanshu arrived at Zhilan Garden. The courtyard was brightly lit, and Su Lin was holding a torch to illuminate the side rooms. Su Si Niang stood by, glaring at Su Lin. The atmosphere was quiet and tense. Just as Su Yanshu entered the courtyard, Su Wan had also arrived.

"Lin'er, what's going on?" Su Yanshu quickly approached, took the torch, and walked into the wing room, where he found the assassin pinned to the ground. Behind him was a straw mat and medicine bottles, clearly resting here to recuperate.

Su Yanshu turned and looked at Su Siniang, his eyes completely devoid of the kindness that a brother had for his sister. Seeing this, Su Siniang had a bad feeling in her heart.

She glanced at Su Wan, then looked at Su Yanshu with a sad face and said, "Second brother, I really don't know what's going on."

Su Yanshu still had many doubts. Seeing Cheng approaching and nodding to him, he entered the hall of Zhilan Garden. He thought, "It's not appropriate to make this public. Let's just settle this here."

In the central hall, Su Wan and Su Lin stood to one side, Su Si Niang stood opposite, and Jiang Yun lowered her head, hiding behind her mother. Her courtyard was next to the Zhilan Garden. When she heard the noise and ran over, she saw Su Yanshu standing there with a serious expression, a face she rarely saw.

At this time, the secret guard was brought in.

"Who ordered you to do this?" As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall instantly froze. After all, Su Yanshu was famous for his good temper, and these young people rarely saw him speak in such a serious tone.

The secret guard said nothing, looked at Su Si Niang and was about to bite his tongue to commit suicide. Su Lin was quick to grab his chin and had someone stuff cotton cloth into it.

Su Si Niang was nervous and said anxiously, "Brother, please find the murderer. This person really has nothing to do with me. I'm not stupid, how could I do such a thing that would bring shame to my family?"

Jiang Yun also knelt down and cried, "Second Uncle, someone must have deliberately thrown dirty water on Mother, trying to cause unrest in the Su family. Please, Second Uncle, please take a closer look."

As she spoke, she glanced at Su Wan, and Su Lin stretched out his hand to stop the person behind him.

"Lin'er, what do you think?"

Su Lin: "What my aunt said does make sense. If this matter is discovered, it will not only be bad for Yu Yun'er. But when I found this person, it was obvious that someone was supporting him. So, I can't make a conclusion for the time being."

Although Su Lin had some opinions about the mother and daughter, he couldn't say it too clearly.

Su Yanshu lowered his gaze, thought for a moment, and said to Cheng: "Go find Xiaodie."

When Su Si Niang heard it was someone close to her, she looked up at Su Yanshu, feeling confused and nervous. Xiaodie was close to her, and she knew a lot. Because the little girl was so clever, she would bring her along even when she met the Jiang family. So Su Yanshu suddenly asked to see Xiaodie. Could he have discovered something?

Su Yanshu took in every change in Su Si Niang's expression.

At this time, Xiaodie walked in and knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully.

"Let me ask you, do you know the person next to you?"

Xiaodie glanced at the man who was tied up and had his mouth covered tightly, and she shuddered. She looked at Su Siniang again and shook her head, saying, "I don't know her!"

"lie!"

Su Yanshu roared, frightening Xiaodie so much that her entire body was shaking. He kowtowed heavily, but his body was still shaking.

Seeing this, Su Si Niang also looked at Xiao Die. How did Su Yanshu target him? This was clearly the Jiang family's plan to pin the blame on her, but now she suddenly wondered if it was related to Su Wan.

"Second brother, what does this mean? What did this girl do?"

Su Yanshu didn't answer, but suddenly swept a cup to the ground, "I'll ask you one last time, do you know him?"

Xiaodie was shocked at the moment, and even the people around her held their breath, looking surprised.

Su Si Niang looked at Xiao Die in disbelief. She had never let Xiao Die come into contact with this assassin, so why would Su Yanshu suddenly be angry? It could only be that Su Yanshu had some evidence against her. Could it be that Su Wan and the Jiang family were colluding to frame her?

Su Siniang immediately slapped him, "You damn bitch, what on earth did you do?"

"Enough!" Su Yanshu shouted angrily.

Xiaodie laid on the ground and cried, "Please, please forgive me, my lord. It was the Fourth Lady who asked me to see someone. I don't know who that person is. I really don't know."

The fourth lady was shocked, "You bitch, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Seeing Su Siniang's face full of disbelief, Su Yanshu hesitated. Xiaodie was someone she had personally selected from the mansion, and someone she trusted. He couldn't decide whether it was a betrayal or Su Siniang's instruction. The most important thing now was to give Wan'er an explanation and suppress this matter.

"Come here, drag this assassin away and beat him to death!" Of course, he couldn't be allowed to cause trouble again.

"And this Xiaodie, drag them away together!"

Upon hearing this, two big men immediately dragged the man away.

It was the first time that the younger generations saw Su Yanshu being so cruel, and they were terrified for a moment.

Su Si Niang was also in disbelief. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Su Yanshu say, "Si Niang, from today on, you are not allowed to leave the house." He looked up at the younger generation standing on either side and said, "Lin'er, take your two sisters back to rest. Leave this matter to your uncle."

He looked at Su Wan again and said slowly, "Wan'er, your uncle will give you an explanation."

Su Wan frowned and nodded.

Su Lin, Su Wan, and Jiang Yun left the courtyard, and Cheng returned to her own courtyard. At this moment, only Su Yanshu and Su Si Niang were left in the hall.

"Si Niang, do you have anything to do with the assassination?" Su Yanshu's gaze fell on Su Si Niang, making her feel cold all over.

She wanted to deny it, but she hesitated, feeling that Su Yanshu already knew something.

"Brother, don't you believe me? I really don't know that assassin. I don't know why he appeared in my yard, and Xiaodie..."

"I'm asking you, does it have anything to do with you?" Su Yanshu asked again.

Su Si Niang's expression froze, and she couldn't utter a word as she looked at Su Yanshu.

Su Yanshu didn't waste any more time, he stood up and said with his hands behind his back: "You'd better give me an answer tomorrow."

Su Siniang looked at the departing figure and felt sad. This was not the brother she knew.

"Watch the yard. If a bird flies out of it, I will hold you accountable. Especially, don't let it reach my father's ears. Do you understand?" Su Yanshu ordered the servant in front of the courtyard gate. The servant felt the aura around Su Yanshu and nodded heavily.

The next morning, Su Yanshu heard the secret guards report that Su Si Niang had sent someone to Su Taifu's courtyard to cause a disturbance. Su Yanshu sneered, his sister still making him so worrying. Su Yanshu put the book on the table and said, "Then let him stay in the temple for a few months and repent before the Buddha."
