Unexpectedly, Liang Jin was very forthright and commanded his subordinates, âMen, go to the womanâs address and bring her here. I wonât leave Marquisâs Manor until Iâve seen her today.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Su Yingxue was surprised by his action.
âLord, you are quite assertive!â She thought.
Su Dingheng almost choked!
Where on earth did these stubborn principles come from?
Liu Shulanâs eyes gleamed with satisfaction. She glanced at Su Yingxue. No matter how deep her facade, she wouldnât be able to locate Old Madam Qiu!
Su Yingxue pretended not to notice Liu Shulanâs eye signals.
With a calm gaze, she inspected her action, waiting quietly, as if she were indifferent to the world.
Liang Jinâs subordinates took the portrait and returned with a person in less than half an hour.
Two bailiffs brought Old Madam Qiu before Liang Jin. âLord Liang, this person matches the portrait perfectly and was found around Marquisâs Manor. Her movements were mysterious!â
Liang Jin looked up and saw a match with the portrait recorded in Marquisâs Manor.
He turned to Su Dingheng. âLord Marquis, is this the Old Madam Qiu from your residence?â
Su Dingheng, having spent a significant amount of time with Liu Shulan, couldnât possibly not recognize Old Madam Qiu. However, there was a hint of bewilderment in his eyes. âItâs her, but sheâ¦â
Why the panic?
âUh! Yes! Uhâ¦â
Old Madam Qiu opened her mouth repeatedly but couldnât utter a single word.
Liu Shulanâs heart skipped a beat, and she blurted out, âHow is that possible?â
Old Madam Qiuâs whereabouts were well concealed, and she had already left Marquisâs Manor. How could she have been recaptured?
It was Su Yingxue!
Liu Shulan cast a glance at Su Yingxue with a concealed glare, but Su Yingxue maintained her usual calm.
As for her eyes, they were as profound as the sea, revealing nothing!
âBring her out!â Liang Jin waved his hand, and Granny Sun was brought forward.
Granny Sun was shackled and excitedly pointed at Old Madam Qiu. âItâs her!
She gave me money to frame someone, causing my son to die prematurely, and even attempting to burn himâ¦â
Granny Sunâs eyes were brimming with tears. She knew she had wronged someone, and her fate would not be pleasant. She was willing to confess her sins but was determined to implicate the one who had manipulated her.
Su Yingxue had told her that if she didnât want her grandson to hang his head in shame for the rest of his life, she needed to guide him onto the right path!
Old Madam Qiu couldnât speak, but she gritted her teeth and didnât deny Granny Sunâs accusation.
Liang Jin turned to Su Dingheng. âMarquis, with the case now mostly clarified, 1â11 take this person back to the Capital Prefecture for questioning. If there are any developments, Iâll have my men inform Marquisâs Manor.â
Su Dingheng looked displeased. âPlease proceed, Lord Liang.â
From the moment he saw Old Madam Qiu, a sense of disgust welled up in his eyes. His gaze, cold and piercing, swept over Liu Shulan.
Liu Shulan didnât even have the chance to meet his gaze before watching Old Madam Qiu being led away by Liang Jin.
Old Madam Qiu conveyed to her through her eyes that she wouldnât betray her and to rest assured.
However, she couldnât have anticipated that if Old Madam Qiu were to shoulder the blame alone, her futureâ¦
Liang Jin departed with his entourage, and Marquisâs Manor returned to its usual tranquility.
Today, Su Yingxue didnât stand out and arranged everything in the mansion properly. Su Dingheng looked at her with a much gentler gaze and even patted her shoulder. âYouâve worked hard today.â
âFather, youâve had a tiring day. You should head back and rest early,â Su Yingxue said obediently.
Seeing Su Dingheng sigh in the direction of Liu Shulan, she suggested, âFather, if youâre worried about Lady Liu, why donât I accompany her back? She can have some peace..â
