Su Yu didn't stand on ceremony and ordered her men to arrest Sang Mo and take him away.

As Sang Mo stepped out of the threshold, he turned back to look at Baili Jiyan once more. This time, Baili Jiyan looked at him, but only for a moment.

That one glance was enough to bring a smile of satisfaction to her lips.

“Miss Su.” Fu Ju, who had been silent until now, stood up and spoke: “Is there anything you can do for me? I can lend you a hand.”

Su Yu didn't really want Fu Ju to get involved in Bei Yu's affairs.

After all, he is the ruler of the Chi Kingdom, and his marriage to Xin'er alone has already drawn the attention of the entire Su family.

This is a crucial moment. If he interferes again and someone finds some unfounded evidence against him, the Su family will find it difficult to remain unscathed.

Su Yu shook her head: "You are responsible for making Xin'er happy, and you can take care of everything else."

Fu Ju didn't say much. He knew Su Yu had her own considerations. He could not help her, but he couldn't hold her back either.

After checking all the servants in the manor, Yan'er returned and reported: "Your Highness, we found that two maids have problems. They both bit their tongues and committed suicide. I have already ordered people to investigate their identities carefully."

Today was supposed to be a happy day, but after this incident, Baili Jiyan went back home first.

Xiao Lanzhi also took Lin Ran back.

Su Xin and Fu Ju didn't leave; she wanted to spend more time with A Wan.

Sang Mo is currently locked in the dungeon and is being severely tortured by Mo Wu.

She had been beaten so badly that her face was unrecognizable, and there wasn't a single good piece of flesh on her body, but she refused to say anything.

Su Yu wasn't in a hurry. She let Mo Wu interrogate him according to their methods, knowing that Sang Mo would eventually give in.

Su Wan woke up on the second day.

The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was her two older sisters' faces. She blinked her bright eyes and said, "Big sister, second sister."

Su Xin picked her up, touched her little face, and asked, "Is Awan feeling unwell?"

Awan shook her head, searched the room with her eyes, and then asked, "Where is the sister who rescued Awan yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xin slowly turned her head to look at Su Yu, her eyes asking what to say.

Su Wan has always been very sensible and a precocious child, so Su Yu does not intend to hide it from her.

Su Yu took her from Su Xin's hands, placed her on her lap, and said to her, "The older sister who saved Awan yesterday is a bad person, so we arrested her."

Su Wan frowned slightly, and she let out a soft sound of surprise: "Really? Then can A-Wan go and take a look?"

Su Yu did not intend to stop her, but instead gestured for Yan'er to make the arrangements first.

Su Yu carried Awan out of the room: "Awan, let's eat first. After you eat, you can see that older sister."

After they finished breakfast, Yan'er returned and signaled to Su Yu that it was ready.

Su Yu then took Awan to the dungeon.

Sang Mo is now tied to a pillar. His clothes have been changed, but his face is so pale that there is no color in his skin.

Awan had already guessed what was going on, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she asked Su Yu, "Sister Yu'er, can Awan spend some time alone with this sister?"

"No!" Su Xin objected, giving the half-dead Sang Mo a hateful look before saying, "This person is dangerous. Awan can't be alone with him."

Awan blinked and turned her gaze to Su Yu, hoping that Su Yu would agree.

Su Yu squatted down, pinched her cheek, and agreed, "Okay, then we'll wait for A-Wan outside. If A-Wan needs anything, just shout."

Awan raised her little face, which was full of bright smiles.

Su Wan, Su Yu, and Su Xin left.

As she left, Su Xin glanced back worriedly and asked, "Sister, will it be okay to leave A-Wan alone?"

Su Yu took her arm and held her hand: "Don't worry, it's okay. If Sang Mo really wanted to hurt Awan, she wouldn't have saved Awan, and she wouldn't have willingly been captured afterwards."

Su Xin breathed a sigh of relief. The two sisters walked to a table not far away and sat down, quietly watching the situation in the room.

in the room.

Sang Mo was sitting on the relatively clean ground when she saw Su Wan being led towards her. She took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Are you alright?"

Su Wan walked over with small, quick steps, not forgetting to pour a glass of water on the low table next to her. As she approached, she asked, "Sister, are you in a lot of pain?"

Sang Mo suddenly smiled, because this little girl, who was only a few years old, gave her a sense of peace.

Su Xin handed her a water glass, gesturing for her to drink.

The hot water soothed his dry throat and also made Sang Mo's eyes a little moist.

Su Wan smiled with satisfaction as she watched her drink the water, tilting her head slightly.

Then, she took out a small medicine jar from her bosom, lifted up Sang Mo's sleeve to reveal a large, bloody wound, and whispered, "Sister, let me apply the medicine for you."

Sang Mo was afraid that his wound would frighten her, so he tried to pull his hand back, but Su Wan's small hand held it tightly.

Su Wan said, "This medicine works very well. I used to be bullied by bad people, and my sisters used this medicine on me. It heals quickly and doesn't leave scars."

Upon hearing this, Sang Mo's dim eyes suddenly went blank for a moment, not because of the pain Su Wan felt when applying the medicine.

What she didn't expect was that Su Wan, being the young lady of the Minister's mansion, would be bullied.

Su Wan seemed to sense Sang Mo's doubts, and she continued, "I know you are a good person, sister, and you won't hurt me, but I also know you have your reasons. However, I can't let you go because you are a good person, and I don't want you to be angry."

After saying that, Su Wan blinked her big eyes and looked at her: "So, sister, can you tell me your predicament? I will plead with you on your behalf, otherwise you won't let me off the hook."

Actually, the night the Empress Dowager sent someone to the Su residence was the same night that the grand court assembly and banquet were held.

Su Wan had seen many dead people, but she was not afraid.

Because she was bullied by the servants in the mansion since she was a child, her grandmother even executed a servant for this, although she witnessed it secretly.

She knew she was weak and would be bullied.

She knew that her sister Yu'er had locked up her sister not just because of her, but for other reasons as well.

Seeing that Sang Mo remained silent, Su Wan continued, "My sister is very powerful, but she won't kill innocent people indiscriminately. My sister will protect you."

Su Wan wasn't sure if the woman in front of her understood what she was saying.

In fact, Sang Mo understood.

But she didn't think that Su Yu had Su Wan say these words, because Sang Mo knew that Su Yu's bodyguard, whom she had never seen before, wouldn't need to call a child to do anything to her.

Sang Mo gently touched Su Wan's face with his bloodless hand, then changed the subject, saying, "It's too dirty here, and there are rats. You should leave."

Su Wan didn't continue to persuade her, but instead asked, "What's your name, sister? Can you tell me?"

Sang Mo nodded gently, told her, and then gently pushed her, saying, "Okay, go out now."

Su Wan stood up and touched Sang Mo's face, mimicking her gesture: "Then I'll be going now, Sister Mo. I'll bring you some more delicious food later."

As the dungeon door slowly closed, Sang Mo could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, his mind in complete chaos.

The two people waiting outside saw Su Wan come out.

Su Xin jogged over and picked her up, anxiously asking, "Awan, is something wrong?"

As Awan shook her head, her gaze fell on Su Yu, who was walking towards her. She asked nervously, "Big sister, may I stay at your house for a few more days?"

Su Yu glanced at the direction of the dungeon behind them where Sang Mo was imprisoned, and nodded: "Okay, Awan, if you like it, you can stay for a while longer."
