The Poisonous Consort, the Regent's Beloved

“Xiaoyue has committed an act of insubordination and offended this princess. She shall be beaten to death on the spot and dragged out.”

The woman stood on the door frame, exuding a chilling aura. Her superior posture inspired a sense of submission in those around her.

Su Fuying knew the old lady was soft-hearted, but she also understood that if she let this woman off easily this time, it might bring her more trouble in the future.

This kind of person is like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to strike again at any moment. Therefore, it is essential to eliminate them completely.

This way, potential risks and losses in the future can be avoided.

However, in order not to alert Liu Hui and make her realize that she has discovered the truth, Su Fuying must act cautiously. Especially during the time she is away, she must keep a low profile to avoid arousing Liu Hui's suspicion.

Therefore, she decided to handle the matter in her own name to ensure that Liu Hui would not resort to desperate measures.

Now that Su Chengde trusts Liu Hui unconditionally, it would be futile even if Xiaoyue exposed her to Su Chengde.

After finishing the remaining matters, Su Fuying went in to visit the old lady. Zhang Mama comforted her from the side, and the old lady was somewhat saddened.

“Grandmother, it’s not worth ruining your health over someone like that. She won’t be grateful to you.”

The old lady looked up at Su Fuying, grasped her hand around her waist, and said in a low voice, "Grandmother knows, but I never expected that after so long, we've raised a thankless wretch in the yard."

After saying that, she turned to look at Granny Zhang, reached out and patted her shoulder, "Thank goodness it wasn't you. Ying'er told me it was someone close to her who did it. I'm scared, scared that it will be found out that you did it. What will I do then?"

As she spoke, tears welled up in the old lady's eyes. Zhang Qin was taken aback. It turned out that she was the one who had been afraid earlier. Thinking of this, Zhang Qin immediately knelt down to express her loyalty, "This old servant has served the old lady for over forty years. How could I have done such a foolish thing? Please rest assured."

Su Fuying knew that the old lady was unwilling to say more or investigate further because she was afraid that if Zhang Mama was the one who did it, she wouldn't know what to do. She couldn't bear to part with the person who had been with her all her life at this time.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been eavesdropping at the door the whole time. Looking at the old man, Su Fuying's eyes showed a gentle smile.

When the old lady found out it was Xiaoyue, she was actually somewhat relieved. It wasn't that she was heartless; it was just that Zhang Mama had been with her since she was a child, and without her, she probably wouldn't have been able to get through the rest of her life.

Not wanting to disturb the two elderly people's reminiscing, Su Fuying quietly took her leave. Before leaving, she instructed the servants to serve all the dishes, as it was so late and the old lady hadn't eaten yet.

Under the bright moonlight, she walked into the small courtyard, which was pitch black inside. Su Fuying touched her empty stomach; she hadn't eaten yet.

It's so late, and there's nothing left to eat in the kitchen. The old lady has her own small kitchen in her own yard, and I can't help but feel a little envious of that.

Well, Su Fuying figured there should be food outside tonight, so she changed her clothes and went out to check, and maybe find that person while she was at it.

Opening the door, the room was pitch black. Su Fuying had sent Biluo to find Ying Er. Knowing the layout of the room, she went straight to the bedside and lit a candle.

Using the lamplight, Su Fuying quickly took off her shirt. In the instant she turned her head, she suddenly covered her chest with the shirt, a flash of ferocity in her eyes, and three silver needles flew out of her hand.

This person is incredibly skilled. She didn't even notice him in her room for so long. Now that she has some internal energy, she can sense people hiding in the shadows.

If he hadn't momentarily lost his breath, she probably wouldn't have been able to detect it by now.

The sound of silver needles being inserted into the roof beams was heard, and then a tall man emerged from the shadows.

He wore a pure black robe with delicate patterns at the collar, but the rest of the robe was not decorated much. On him, it did not look plain at all, but rather had an understated luxury.

Upon seeing a familiar face, Su Fuying was speechless. "You're sitting in my room in the middle of the night. Do you have some kind of shady hobby?"

He narrowed his eyes and stared intently at her, his burning gaze seeming to pierce through her body.

The woman was completely naked from the waist up. Her face was stunningly beautiful, as pure and ethereal as a fairy descended from heaven, making her unforgettable at first glance.

Her fair shoulders, illuminated by the yellow candlelight, appeared even more rounded and alluring, exuding an irresistible charm.

She was clutching a bundle of clothes tightly to her chest, but even so, it couldn't completely conceal her snow-white, deep cleavage.

The man's gaze lingered there involuntarily. He tried to control his eyes, avoiding direct eye contact, and then turned his head away somewhat stiffly, saying softly, "Put your clothes on first."

Hey? Su Fuying wanted to curse, but after hiding here and watching for so long, he actually became shy and uttered no words.

He turned around and quickly changed into a set of men's clothing. Hearing rustling sounds behind him, the man lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought, but his hands, hanging at his sides, tightened involuntarily.

A moment later, Su Fuying turned around and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Although she had only asked Biluo to ask him if he was in the Shadowless Palace tonight, as she was planning to go find him, she never expected him to come to her door on his own.

The man turned around when he heard the sound, his gaze returning to its usual coldness. He sharply scrutinized her for a moment, then let out a muffled laugh.

?

"What are you laughing at?" Su Fuying asked, puzzled. Seeing that he didn't speak, she said directly, "Perfect timing, I also have something I want to talk to you about today."

As he spoke, he walked to the table, where there was only a teapot and a teacup, the same set he had bought for a thousand taels of silver.

However, the water stains remaining in the teacup made Su Fuying pause in her outstretched hand.

She frowned slightly and looked at the man. "Aren't you a germaphobe? This is my cup."

Lu Yanxiu leaned back lazily in his chair, his tone indifferent, "I forgot."

Su Fuying's eyes widened in disbelief. "Forgot? This cup is worth a thousand taels. Give it back to me."

After saying that, Su Fuying stretched out her hand, openly asking for money.

Lu Yanxiu frowned as he looked at the outstretched hand and asked, "Isn't a thousand taels of gold enough for me?"

“Hey, that’s my consultation fee, it’s what I deserve. You swindled that thousand taels from me,” Su Fuying retorted.

Last time, all I did was drink a sip of tea, and she bought it for a thousand taels. I have to get it back today.

Su Fuying suddenly thought of something, and a smile appeared on her face. She looked at the man in front of her and her eyes darted around. "Actually, I don't need the thousand taels, but since you drank from my cup today, it's like you kissed me and took advantage of me."

A rare look of confusion and shock appeared in the man's usually calm eyes.

Su Fuying didn't care; today, she was determined to make her abacus beads fly right into his face.
