At this moment, the Su residence was brightly decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, filled with joy and bustling with people, all because today was Su Mingxuan's wedding day.

Su Qianrou arrived at Shutong Courtyard and entered the room. She saw Song Shiyu sitting on the bed, looking somewhat shy, but mostly joyful. After all, there was nothing happier than marrying the person you love.

"Sister-in-law," Su Qianrou walked up to her, a hint of mockery on her face.

Song Shiyu felt a little embarrassed by her address, "Qianrou, what brings you here?"

“My brother was worried you were hungry, so he asked me to bring you some pastries to tide you over.”

Song Shiyu was extremely shy.

"My brother has been thinking about you for so long, and today he has finally married you."

"Qianrou, please stop teasing me."

Su Qianrou smiled, then took the food box from Chunzhu's hand and handed it to her, saying, "Alright, eat something quickly, don't go hungry."

Song Shiyu took it and asked, "Would you like some too?"

"No need, I've already eaten, you eat."

"Then I'll eat it."

"Ok".

Song Shiyu hadn't eaten anything all day and was starving, so she ate three pieces of pastry in a row. If the nanny hadn't reminded her, she would have eaten all the pastries that Su Qianrou had brought.

Then, Su Qianrou came out of Shutong Courtyard. When Juxia saw her, she immediately went up to her and said, "Miss."

As Su Qianrou walked, she asked, "Did you find anything?"

"The second young lady and young master Li stayed in the side room for a quarter of an hour before coming out."

"Will it be Su Wanshan or Li Quanwei who comes out?"

"It's the second young lady."

Just then, Yuehong walked over and said, "This servant greets Miss."

"Why are you here?"

"Young Miss, please go and check on the Second Miss. She's drunk and feeling unwell."

"She's drunk, my sister's been drinking."

"Yes, today is the eldest young master's wedding. The second young lady was happy for him and drank a few more sips. Unexpectedly, she couldn't hold her liquor and is resting in the west wing now."

“West Wing,” Su Qianrou glanced at Juxia.

Juxia nodded.

"Why not send your sister back to her own courtyard, but instead send her to the west wing?"

"The second young lady is in too much pain. Unfortunately, Yuexin and I have no choice but to take her to the west wing to rest for a while."

"Let's go see her," Su Qianrou said, and then walked away.

Spring bamboo and chrysanthemum summer followed closely behind.

Yuehong smiled and quickly followed.

Soon, the group arrived at the west wing.

"Miss, I'll go get a change of clothes for the Second Miss. I won't go in." Then she added, "Chunzhu, Juxia, please fetch some water for me."

"Yuehong, please understand your place. Not to mention that you are now the Second Miss's servant, even before, you had no right to order us around," Chunzhu said, clearly dissatisfied with her behavior.

Yuehong hurriedly knelt down, "Miss, I didn't mean it. I was only thinking of the Second Miss, so I lost my composure for a moment. Please forgive me, Miss." On the surface, she was apologizing, but in reality, she was thinking, "After today, you will no longer be the high and mighty eldest daughter of the Su family, but a harlot despised by everyone. At that time, let's see how you will have the face to live in this world." Thinking of this, if she didn't still have some sense of reason, she would have wanted to laugh out loud.

Su Qianrou looked down at her without saying a word.

Yuehong felt an unprecedented sense of oppression emanating from her, and her eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, which made her feel afraid. "Young Miss."

Su Qianrou asked unhurriedly, "Yuehong, was I not good to you before, or did Su Wanshan give you some huge benefit that made you help her harm me again and again?"

"Young Miss, what are you saying? This servant does not understand."

"You dare say you don't know anything about pastries?"

"What pastries? I really don't know what you're talking about."

"Alright, I'm too lazy to argue with you anymore... Chunzhu, Juxia, take her inside."

"Yes," Chunzhu and Juxia responded in unison, then walked to Yuehong's side and subdued her.

Yuehong tried to break free, but was held down firmly. "Young Miss, what are you doing?"

Su Qianrou didn't answer her and stepped inside.

Chunzhu and Juxia followed behind Yuehong, keeping her under their weight.

Before she had taken two steps, Su Qianrou caught a faint scent and immediately became alert. She took out a handkerchief, covered her nose, and instructed, "Hold your breath."

Although Chunzhu and Juxia didn't understand, they still listened to her.

Yuehong didn't even need to be reminded; she held her breath as soon as she entered.

Su Qianrou walked to the incense burner and found that the incense had gone out. So she went to the window and opened it. Then she went to the bedside and saw Li Quanwei lying on the bed with a flushed face and making strange noises. She knew without a doubt that he had been drugged with aphrodisiacs.

Then, Su Qianrou looked at Yuehong and said, "How about I give you a chance to rise to the top?"

Yuehong instantly understood her meaning and said in a panic, "No, this servant does not want to serve Young Master Li."

"What, you don't even like it?"

"Young Miss, please spare me."

"Letting you go is not impossible. Tell me what benefits Su Wanshan has promised you, and I may consider letting you go."

Yuehong remained silent.

"If you won't tell, then you can stay here and serve Young Master Li well. Afterwards, I will send you to the Li residence. As for whether you can rise to the top in one step, that depends on the wishes of Madam Li and Young Master Li." After saying that, he gestured to Chunzhu and Juxia to throw her onto the bed.

Chunzhu and Juxia understood each other and immediately pushed her to the edge of the bed.

Yuehong was terrified. "I'll talk, I'll talk."

So, Su Qianrou gestured for Chunzhu and Juxia to wait a moment.

"The second young lady promised me that after the matter is settled, she would make me the eldest young master's concubine," she said, then lowered her head guiltily.

"So that's why you didn't like Li Quanwei, it turns out you had your eye on my older brother," Su Qianrou said, pinching her chin. "So, because of that, you knew that the pastry was poisoned, but you still watched me eat it, and afterwards, you even helped her destroy the evidence, right?"

"This servant doesn't know what you're talking about," Yuehong stubbornly refused to admit it.

"You want to be my concubine? I'll grant your wish," Su Qianrou said, then walked to the side, poured a cup of tea, and splashed it on Li Quanwei's face.

Li Quanwei, who was still somewhat unconscious, woke up instantly.

Su Qianrou ordered, "Throw her onto the bed."

"Yes".

"You promised me that you would let me go as long as I told you. You can't go back on your word."

"I only said I'd think about it, but I didn't agree to your request."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yuehong collapsed onto Li Quanwei.

Li Quanwei instinctively hugged her.

Yuehong struggled desperately to break free, but the more she struggled, the tighter Li Quanwei held her.

Su Qianrou wasn't interested in what was going to happen, so she took Chunzhu and Juxia and went outside.

After leaving, she made sure Chunzhu and Juxia closed the doors and windows to prevent anyone from ruining what was going on inside.
