âMarquis, my illness was treated by the Ninth Princess Consort. She is kind and willing to treat me. There is no need for others to worry.â
Xu Aoqing lay on the bed. Although her voice was weak, she seemed less lifeless than before.
Her face showed signs of vitality.
Su Xinlan clenched her teeth, her grip on the handkerchief almost crushing it.
Su Yingxue!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
This meddlesome woman!
Su Yingxue smiled. âI will fulfill my promise, but I also want to uncover why Doctor Huang wanted to harm her and what grudge exists between them.â
Since the truth had been revealed, there was no reason for Su Xinlan to have an easy time!
If the truth seemed revealed, she had no choice but to expose it further.
âMarquis, Yingxue is not one to cause trouble without reason. Moreover, you and my grandfather have been colleagues for many years. As the younger generation, we naturally hope for harmony among the elders.â
Su Han spoke openly.
Elegant and graceful, her words were persuasive. As soon as she spoke, Marquis Changxinâs resistance to Su Yingxue diminished.
âExactly! As Handsome Brother says, in a big family, one unclear matter may lead to several, even years-old, issues. Itâs like the root of a big tree rotting away, if not removed in time, the whole tree will fall!â
Su Miaoyan chimed in.
She was innocent and adorable. Marquis Changxin couldnât help but be curious about who her âPretty Brotherâ was and how he taught her such profound ideas.
âMiss Miaoyan, who is your Handsome Brother?â Ye Lingbai was equally curious.
Su Miaoyan proudly replied, âMy Handsome Brother is named Xiao Yu. Heâs handsome and kind-hearted!â
Ye Lingbai was taken aback. âThe Eldest Young Master of the Xiao family, the wealthiest family in the world, Xiao Yu?â
Everyone present was familiar with this name.
After all, whether or not they dealt directly with the Xiao family, they certainly interacted with their businesses.
No one was unaware of who Xiao Yu was.
Marquis Changxin couldnât help but take Su Miaoyanâs words to heart.
He waved his hand. âMen, take Doctor Huang away and interrogate him about what happened when he treated the madam.â
Marquis Changxinâs trusted aide dragged Doctor Huang out.
As Doctor Huang was being dragged away, he screamed, almost shouting accusations at Su Xinlan.
Su Xinlan broke out in a cold sweat. She was afraid her involvement with Doctor Huang would be exposed. She immediately sent for Ye Zhenzhen to plead for her.
Looking at the room full of people, she gritted her teeth. âMarquis, with so many outsiders here, itâs not good for us to investigate matters within our household. After all, if word gets out, it will tarnish the reputation of our Marquisâs Manor!â
âAre you worried about tarnishing your reputation?â Ye Lingbai sneered.
A hint of malice flashed in Su Xinlanâs eyes, but she gently wiped away her tears. âEldest Young Master, I donât seek forgiveness for blaming you.
However, this is an internal matter for our household. Regardless of who the Princess Consort or the lady is, what does it matter to us?â
Her words struck home. No family head would allow their familyâs scandals to be exposed to outsiders and spread.
Even if the personâs status were higher, they wouldnât allow it!
Marquis Changxin looked at Su Yingxue indifferently. âNinth Princess Consort, itâs getting late. Youâve been of great help today. Iâll have someone escort you back to your manor.â
