âAuntie, Iâve instructed the kitchen to prepare some tonics for you and sister,â Su Yingxue said with a sweet smile. âAfter youâve used them, you should rest early.â
Qin Wan could sense that Su Yingxue wanted to speak to Su Han alone, so she took Zhifen away and asked her to bring Su Hanâs portion over later.
The candlelight in the room flickered, and the light emitted by the luminous pearl became even gentler.
Sitting beside Su Han, Su Yingxue raised her eyebrows. âSister mentioned before that Min Jiaâs expenses are huge, and you were suspicious. Did you notice anything?â
Su Han nodded. âMin Jia has a lot of expenses every month. Last year, she took out 10,000 taels of silver a month. I asked her how she used it, but she didnât answer. When 1 questioned her again, she started to lose her temper and even complained to her mother. 1 had no choice but to give it to her, but 1 suspect she gave all the money to someone else.â
âSomeone else?â Su Yingxueâs curiosity was piqued.
She knew that Su Han must have secretly sent someone to investigate Min Jia.
Su Han said, âA man often appears in her courtyard. Iâm afraid their relationship is not simple.â
âMin Jia meets a man in private and even gives him money to support him?â Su Yingxue was taken aback. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was understandable that Min Jia would have secret meetings with a man as an adult, but what kind of man would make her willingly pay to support him? And the amount was so huge!
A yearâs worth was a hundred thousand taels!
âWhat kind of man could catch Min Jiaâs eye? He must be quite handsome,â Su Yingxue chuckled.
When Min Jia saw Zi Wei, her eyes lit up. It was obvious how important his appearance was to her.
âThat man is very cautious and has strong martial arts skills. My men were discovered once, so 1 had them watch him from afar. But no matter what, they didnât see the manâs face clearly, nor did they know his background.â Su Han frowned.
She had a sharp mind and was born in the Marquisâs Manor, so her thinking was much more agile than that of ordinary women. There were very few things that she couldnât find out.
She had always been puzzled by the man who had secret meetings with Min Jia.
But now, she had a question she needed to bring up to Su Yingxue. âYingxue, among the people that Min Jia sent to assassinate me, I feel like thereâs an expert that Iâm familiar with.â
âSister, did you see his face?â Su Yingxue asked.
Su Hanâs expression turned serious. âI didnât see him clearly, but 1 think he looks like someone.â
âWho?â
âSu Jinxuan.â
âSu Jinxuan?â Su Yingxueâs eyes widened. Su Hanâs words reminded her of the black figure she saw in Min Jiaâs courtyard that day.
It coincided with Zi Weiâs figure.
Su Yingxue raised her eyebrows. âSu Jinxuan is a cautious person, much more alert than Su Yurou. Other than the day Liu Shulan married into the Marquisâs Manor, Iâve never seen him again. Ever since Grandpa returned, he has never appeared, but⦠I underestimated him.â
Su Han grasped Su Yingxueâs hand, warmth filling her eyes. âYingxue, no matter what, sister have to thank you for everything youâve done for me. 1â11 thank you when I escape from that devilâs placeâ¦â
âThereâs no need for that!â Su Yingxue and Su Han clasped their hands tightly. âSister and 1 share the same blood, and we are both daughters of the Su family. Naturally, we have to love each other. Compared to a glorious family, I think Grandpa would prefer to see everyone in the Marquisâs Manor be safe and sound..â
