Reborn and married in a swapped marriage, my aloof husband is too ruthless.

"Madam, something terrible has happened! Miss Xiaoxiao... Miss Xiaoxiao... she's been sold to Zuichunlou!" The servant reported in a panic, his face ashen.

Su Jinxin was shocked. Su Xiaoxiao had actually fallen into such a predicament?

Although she hated Su Xiaoxiao to the core, she still found it hard to believe when she suddenly heard this news.

Yan Cheng'an frowned deeply: "Is the news true?" The servant nodded hurriedly: "Absolutely true! I saw it with my own eyes, it was...it was Xu Mingxuan who sold her in!"

Su Jinxin suppressed the complex emotions in her heart. Although Su Xiaoxiao's predicament was self-inflicted, now was not the time to dwell on such things.

She immediately realized that this might be a conspiracy by Granny Liu. The fact that Su Xiaoxiao was sold to Zuichunlou would inevitably cause a huge uproar, thereby diverting everyone's attention and disrupting her plans.

“Drunken Spring Pavilion…” Su Jinxin murmured to herself. A thought flashed through her mind: Widow Li had mentioned that there was a secret room in the Su family mansion containing many important things, including her mother’s belongings and some secret ledgers.

Could it be... that the final, crucial evidence is right there?

"Cheng'an, I must go to Zuichunlou." Su Jinxin's tone was firm, her eyes gleaming with an undeniable light.

Inside the Drunken Spring Pavilion, Su Xiaoxiao was dressed in rags and looked disheveled, showing no trace of her former arrogance.

Zhang's thugs punched and kicked her. Su Xiaoxiao cried and begged for mercy, but to no avail.

In the chaos, Su Jinxin caught a glimpse of Granny Liu's fleeting figure.

As expected, it was all arranged by Granny Liu!

Taking advantage of the chaos, Su Jinxin found Su Xiaoxiao, who was being held captive, and whispered a few words in her ear. Su Xiaoxiao was stunned at first, but then a spark of hope ignited in her eyes.

As night fell, Su Jinxin and Li Si sneaked into the Su residence.

Following the clues provided by Su Xiaoxiao, they found the entrance to the secret room.

However, the secret chamber was surrounded by traps, and several highly skilled guards were on high alert.

Su Jinxin and Li Si engaged in a fierce battle with the guards, and the two sides fought each other.

Just then, Constable Zhou arrived at the Su residence with a group of men and surrounded Su Jinxin.

"Su Jinxin, you have trespassed on private property with malicious intent. Surrender now!" Constable Zhou shouted sternly, clearly having been deceived by Granny Liu once again.

Su Jinxin was trapped in the encirclement, unable to move forward or backward, and the situation was critical.

She took a deep breath and pulled a stack of papers from her pocket—part of the evidence she had collected… “Officer Zhou, take a look at these…”

Su Jinxin ignored Zhou's reprimand and handed over the papers in her hand. "Officer Zhou, I know you are enforcing the law impartially, but have you ever thought that you have been used?" Her tone was calm and her gaze was firm, without the slightest sign of panic.

Constable Zhou took the paper, which detailed all of Granny Liu's deeds in the Su family over the years, including evidence of embezzlement, framing, and even murder.

The more he looked, the more serious his expression became, and his initial certainty began to waver.

When Granny Liu saw this, her expression changed drastically. She hadn't expected that Su Jinxin had so much evidence.

"Nonsense!" Granny Liu shouted sternly, trying to interrupt Constable Zhou's thoughts. "She's slandering me and trying to confuse the public!"

Su Jinxin sneered, "Whether it's slander or not, Constable Zhou will judge for himself." She knew that she couldn't confront Constable Zhou directly at this moment; she had to obtain the evidence in the secret room as soon as possible.

Granny Liu knew something was wrong; she had to destroy the evidence before it was discovered.

She glared fiercely at Su Jinxin, then turned and ran towards the secret room.

Seeing this, Su Jinxin was extremely anxious. She couldn't care less about getting entangled with Constable Zhou anymore and immediately chased after Granny Liu.

"Stop her!" Seeing this, Officer Zhou, though still having doubts, still ordered Su Jinxin to be stopped because of his duty.

Several constables immediately stepped forward, trying to block Su Jinxin's path.

Su Jinxin's eyes sharpened, revealing a fierce skill she had never shown before.

She dodged and weaved nimbly, avoiding the constables' encirclement, and dashed towards the secret chamber.

Li Si followed closely behind, clearing obstacles for her.

"Madam, be careful!" Li Si shouted. Ahead was the entrance to a secret chamber, surrounded by traps and mechanisms.

Su Jinxin gritted her teeth. She knew she had to get into the secret chamber as soon as possible, or it would be too late. She took a deep breath and leaped...

"Quickly! Stop them!" Granny Liu's shrill voice echoed in the courtyard.

At the entrance to the secret chamber, swords flashed...

Su Jinxin lightly touched the ground with her toes, drawing a graceful arc in the air, barely avoiding the sharp blade.

Li Si followed closely behind, his short blade flashing as he forced back the approaching guards.

The two worked together seamlessly, like dragons entering the sea, quickly breaking through the numerous traps and mechanisms at the entrance to the secret chamber.

"Damn it! Stop them!" Granny Liu roared hoarsely. Seeing Su Jinxin about to enter the secret room, she was anxious but powerless to stop her.

Just then, a series of orderly footsteps approached from afar, accompanied by the clanging of weapons, and a powerful aura swept over.

Dressed in black robes, with a grim expression, Yan Cheng'an led his trusted men like a sharp dagger into the chaos of the Su family mansion.

"Young Master Yan!" Constable Zhou was taken aback when he saw Yan Cheng'an.

Yan Cheng'an ignored him, his eyes fixed on Granny Liu, and said coldly, "Take her down!"

The well-trained confidants, like tigers descending a mountain, instantly engaged in fierce combat with the men brought by Granny Liu.

Yan Cheng'an's swordsmanship was fierce and deadly, and he quickly repelled the experts around Granny Liu.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Granny Liu turned pale, but she still refused to give up and stubbornly resisted.

Inside the secret room, with Li Si's help, Su Jinxin found a hidden compartment.

She held her breath and slowly opened it, inside which lay a ledger and several letters.

Su Jinxin's heart pounded wildly; this was the crucial evidence she had been searching for!

She quickly put away the evidence and turned to leave.

"Madam, let's go!" Li Si cautiously surveyed their surroundings and escorted Su Jinxin outside.

When Su Jinxin and Li Si walked out of the secret room, the battle was over.

Yan Cheng'an's confidants took control of the situation. Granny Liu collapsed to the ground, her face ashen, her eyes vacant as she stared at the account book that Su Jinxin was clutching tightly in her hand.

She knew it was all over.

Su Jinxin stood in the courtyard of the Su residence, sunlight shining on her, outlining her slender yet resilient figure.

The evidence in her hand was like a heavy hammer, about to shatter the hypocritical masks of her stepmother and Su Xiaoxiao.

Yan Cheng'an walked to her side and gently embraced her.

“It’s all over.” His deep voice rang in her ear.

Su Jinxin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and savored the joy of victory.

However, a sense of unease quietly crept into her heart.

She knew this was just the beginning...

“Cheng’an,” Su Jinxin raised her head, her gaze firm, “the Xu family will not let this go.”

"The Xu family? They dare!" Yan Cheng'an's eyes turned cold, and his whole body exuded a chilling aura.

Su Jinxin chuckled softly, but there was no warmth in her smile.

“Cheng’an, have you forgotten who Su Xiaoxiao is? Her specialty is distorting the truth and spreading rumors. Even if the evidence is conclusive, she will definitely try to exonerate herself, or even turn the tables on you.” She paused, her tone deep, “Moreover, the Xu family is not without influence in the court.” Yan Cheng’an squeezed her hand, offering her silent support.

"We'll meet force with force, and we'll dam water with earth." Su Jinxin's eyes were firm, and her tone was resolute.

"I'd like to see what tricks they can pull!"

Meanwhile, Su Xiaoxiao, who had been sold into a brothel, was crying to Xu's mother, who had come to visit her, about her tragic experience and shifting all the blame onto Su Jinxin.

Xu's mother felt sorry for her daughter, but because of the Yan family's power, she dared not retaliate openly, so she could only plan in secret.

Su Jinxin anticipated that the Xu family would not let the matter rest, so she sent Li Si to secretly investigate Xu Mingxuan's whereabouts.

Soon, Li Si brought back news: Xu Mingxuan was embroiled in gambling debts at a brothel, causing quite a stir, but the Xu family was trying their best to cover it up.

Su Jinxin looked at the intelligence in her hand and a cold smile appeared on her lips.

She got up and walked to the window, gazing at the dark night sky, and murmured to herself, "Xu Mingxuan, you really... gave me a perfect opportunity..." She took out a letter from her sleeve, the envelope of which was clearly addressed to "Yan Chengan".

Su Jinxin put the letter into an envelope, sealed it, and handed it to Li Si, instructing, "Deliver it to the Yan residence immediately."
