As he spoke, Su Qingli had already memorized the entire Heart Sutra.

Nanny Gao stepped forward, picked up the paper and showed it to everyone. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she showed it to Mrs. Lu first, and then to Prime Minister Su.

Su Qingli wrote beautiful hairpin-shaped regular script. Each stroke was as steady and powerful as an iron pen and silver hook, and the force could be felt through the paper. However, the letter said to be written by Su Qingli was completely different from Su Qingli's style.

"You bold servant, how dare you slander your master and deceive the truth. Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"

"Your servant..." Cui'er was so frightened that she was at a loss for words. "Your servant... didn't..."

"Catch Cui'er's family and torture them severely. I want to see how long you, a lowly servant, can keep your stubbornness!"

"My Lord, I was wrong. I confess everything. Please forgive my family." Cui'er was anxious, "Yes..."

Before Cui'er could finish her words, she opened her eyes wide, collapsed, and died with her eyes open.

"There's an assassin!" The butler immediately stood in front of Prime Minister Su. Prime Minister Su was also very scared. It seemed that he did not expect that someone would dare to kill people to silence them in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Su Qingli stood in front of the old lady. Her attention was on Cui'er at the time, and she didn't see the person who took action at all. She just subconsciously protected the old lady.

The old lady grabbed Su Qingli's arm and pulled her to her side. She looked at Mrs. Lu, who was leaning against Prime Minister Su in fear, looking as if she was unaware of the situation.

At this time, it started to rain heavily outside. The housekeeper led people to search the prime minister's residence in the heavy rain, but did not find any suspects.

Su Xiang glanced at Su Qingli with hesitation. Although Cui'er had framed him, he was still frightened. He always felt that his daughter was too deep-minded. If it were any other girl, she would have cried and shouted that she was innocent, but she was unbelievably calm.

"Are you really Qingli?"

"I hope I'm not." Su Qingli forced a smile, but her eyes were red. "If I weren't, I wouldn't be hurt by the suspicion of my loved ones, and I wouldn't cause my grandmother to worry about me."

"Why are you blaming your father, kid? Your father was also deceived." At this time, Mrs. Lu still did not forget to flatter Prime Minister Su.

"My biological mother died young, and I was blessed by my grandmother. I rarely had the affection of my father. This is why he didn't understand me and was deceived by the wicked. This is my fault for not being able to fulfill my filial duties to my father."

Su Qingli held back her tears: "Today, someone suspected that I am not my father's daughter. I must explain it clearly, so that no one can use this to criticize my father in the future."

"Li girl, don't embarrass your father." The old lady said, "He must believe you."

"Father, I have been raised by my grandmother since I was little. She taught me that I am the eldest sister and should love my younger siblings. I cannot make things difficult for you, and I cannot make it difficult for you."

Su Qingli choked up, tears streaming down her face. "Others looked down on me, but I was afraid of causing trouble for my father, so I could only endure it. I also endured others framing me, as long as it didn't harm the Prime Minister's Mansion. But my patience was rewarded with their encroachment."

"You child, you are the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family. Who dares to look down on you?" Mrs. Lu immediately retorted, "You are just too thoughtful and prone to wild thoughts."

"I'm worried?" Su Qingli looked aggrieved. "The Marquis of Qingyang framed me for murder, targeting the Xiangfu behind me. If I'm convicted, my father will be accused of not raising his daughter properly, and his reputation will plummet."

"Prince Zhao has repeatedly belittled me. But it's not me he belittles, it's my father, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion!"

"Although I'm not as favored by my father as my second and third sisters, I'm still a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion." Su Qingli said in a resounding voice, "So what if Prince Zhao is of noble status? If he dares to belittle me and look down on my father, I will nail him to the pillar of shame and make him be ridiculed for the rest of his life!"

"Yes, my daughter is indeed very thoughtful. I will not tolerate anyone persecuting my loved ones. Let alone the Crown Prince of Zhao, even if it is the Prince of Zhao, if they dare to insult my father, I will go to the Prince of Zhao's mansion to demand an explanation."

"My father is the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, the head of the civil service, with countless students. He has a strong character and is not afraid of power. As his daughter, I must not be a mean person who flatters and curries favor with others and ruin my father's reputation!"
