The ghosts and spirits' words were very strange, and the matchmaker was afraid of death, so she said it.

"Actually, we don't know what's going on either. The matriarch of the Su family had already instructed us about the exchange of brides. The brides in the two sedan chairs would be swapped, and the second young lady would be the one to get into the sedan chair. That's why the lady gave us a reward and didn't want us to tell anyone."

On that road, the sedan chair grew heavier and heavier, and then a chilling wind blew. We saw ghostly figures and accidentally put the sedan chair down.

I wanted to help the second young lady up; she was the mistress's darling, and we dared not offend her. But what I saw was already the eldest young lady's corpse.

We don't know why the second daughter was supposed to get into the sedan chair, but it was changed to the eldest daughter, who eventually died.

The matchmaker kowtowed repeatedly.

“Miss Su, there is a cause for every grievance and a debtor for every debt. We were just doing our job for money. We did not ruin your marriage or intend to harm you. Even if you want revenge, you can’t come to us.”

I know two sedan chair carriers have already died. Please don't kill me, please don't kill me.

After the story of the two sedan chair carriers dying was told, the sedan chair carrier couldn't sit still any longer and immediately knelt down.

“I’ll tell you, we’ve known about the young lady’s affair for a long time, and we felt something was wrong.”

Those two people were probably...disrespectful to Miss Su.

The sedan chair carrier A looked at the sedan chair carrier B with trembling eyes.

"We were just added later to fill in, so this has nothing to do with us."

As he spoke, the sedan chair carrier B also became very nervous and frightened.

"What exactly happened?"

Jiang Xianyue had a rough idea, but she just wanted to be sure.

"It's the Su family. They had already selected four sedan chair bearers and offered a very generous reward. Since we're in the wedding business, there's a rule in our industry that we can't handle funerals. The money the Su family gave us is like buying out our future livelihood."

So initially, others agreed because the Su family offered so much that many people were willing to accept it.

It was only because two of them died unexpectedly the night before it started that it was our turn.

We weren't very familiar with the two people in front of us, but we overheard them whispering that they were afraid Miss Su would retaliate if they tortured her to death, which wouldn't be a good thing.

Zhao Xiuxiu frowned.

"What did you say!"

Zhao Xiuxiu grabbed the collar of the sedan chair carrier A's clothes.

“My sister Su Rou is pure and innocent, why are you slandering her like this?”

The sedan bearer, Jia Ye, was frightened and said tremblingly, "We are not sure about this matter, so when we asked earlier, we didn't dare to say a word. The truth is that we only heard about it secondhand, and perhaps it's because of something else."

Jiang Xianyue crossed her arms, understanding everything.

She instructed Zhao Xiuxiu to give the money and settle those people.

"Why are there still survivors when some have died?"

"Because the people who do this don't know they know these secrets. Killing many people will create karmic burdens, and it's inevitable for normal people to avoid karmic consequences if they don't want to."

Why would Su Ying, who clearly loves Lu Yu, marry Huo Rujing and give him a devoted and affectionate persona? The problem probably lies with Su Ying.

It wasn't Su Rou who was bullied initially, but Su Ying. Su Ying got into trouble because of this and then tried to shift the blame onto Su Rou.

Jiang Xianyue calmly analyzed everything.

"When I left, I also asked the Crown Prince's men to investigate Su Ying's affairs. Before Su Ying asked General Huo to marry her, she entered Ciyun Mountain. I have been to Ciyun Mountain a few times. It was deathly quiet inside. I'm afraid something bad is going to happen."

The incident involving Su Ying at Ciyun Mountain was probably not caused by human intervention, but rather by some malevolent force controlling people's minds and trying to control Su Ying.

It must have been a powerful figure who stepped in and resolved the immediate problem. That person was from the Star Palace, which is why the people from the Star Palace dared not take on Huo Rujing's business.

Or perhaps the problem lies with Lu Yu. Su Ying's plan to exchange her impurity for Su Rou's, in the first place, was flawed. However, General Huo insisted that the matter couldn't be brought upon him, leaving only the defenseless Su Rou as the target.

"What should I do?"

Zhao Xiuxiu was very worried.

"With Prime Minister Su involved, this matter is even more difficult to resolve, not to mention the Lu family behind it."

"Prime Minister Su is unaware of this matter. If he were to know, I fear he would not tolerate it. Prime Minister Su is upright and has never done anything wrong; I can still see that."

Next, find Lu Yu.

Jiang Xianyue's tone was firm and powerful.

"And these few..."

"It all depends on whether Su Rou will let it go in the end. In any case, it can be considered that we escaped the pursuit."

Jiang Xianyue left without looking back.

……

Lu Yu is the only son of General Lu, who has a distinguished military record and previously supported Jiang Minglang. He is on the side of the Second Prince.

Therefore, everything Jiang Minglang did was instructed by the Second Prince.

It seems that Jiang Ruyan and the Second Prince's relationship is indeed extraordinary.

Jiang Xianyue took a deep breath as she thought about this, wondering what the Second Prince would do next, but it certainly wouldn't be anything good.

Thinking about it, Jiang Xianyue's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Finding Lu Yu wasn't difficult. Although Lu Yu achieved fame at a young age like Huo Rujing, he was far less successful than Huo Rujing.

If it weren't for the marriage alliance with the Prime Minister's family, I'm afraid I wouldn't have such wealth and honor.

Meanwhile, Lu Yu was enjoying a very comfortable life in a brothel.

Su Ying suddenly burst in.

"Husband, what are you doing!"

Su Ying seemed very angry, but her voice was soft when she spoke.

"Didn't you promise me you'd never come to a place like this again?"

Lu Yu's face was grim; being interrupted in the middle of his excitement was clearly not a pleasant experience.

"Su Ying, you really want me to become a monk? Back then, you were pure and innocent, and you took the initiative to follow me. You even said that the Prime Minister would help me to have a successful career, so I was willing to marry you."

But since you went to Ciyun Mountain and were defiled by that filthy thing, I feel disgusted just looking at you. If you turn a blind eye, you are still the young mistress of the Lu family and the future matriarch. If I marry you, I will consider it as bringing back an asset.

If you are unwilling, I will write you a letter of divorce...

"You're so cruel. You'd rather your sister die than let me marry her. You should have thought of the consequences before you did all this."

At this moment, Lu Yu was cursing without restraint.

Su Ying clenched her fists tightly, but couldn't find any way to refute it.

"My lord, everything has been resolved. I can still serve you. I am a thousand times better than those women in brothels. Why do you believe those baseless accusations!"

"This is baseless! Should I believe Xinggong, or should I believe you?"

At this moment, Lu Yu's expression became even more unpleasant.

Outside, two people were watching this scene.

"Sister Xian Yue, you are so amazing!"
