250 Visit!

Lin Suisui did as she said. Previously, she had already gone to the general’s residence to ask for money. This time, she went to Duke Huai Yang’s ministry’s residence first. Her attitude was even more imposing than when she went to the general’s residence.

After the matter was exposed, the old consort was already scared out of her wits. She couldn’t think of any other solution for the time being. After hesitating for a while, she thought of the easiest and stupidest solution—to lock herself inside!

However, facing the tightly shut door of Duke Huai Yang’s ministry’s Mansion, Lin Suisui ordered Su Le, who had come over to ask her how to deal with the situation, to give the old consort a taste of her own medicine. She used gunpowder to blow open the door!

With the deafening bang at the door, Duke Huai Yang’s mother, who was curled up in the mansion, thought that her family was going to be exterminated and fainted from fear.

Princess Ning Fu was already at a loss. Although she didn’t know what was going on, from her grandmother’s appearance, she knew that it was definitely serious.

She gritted her teeth and wanted to rush out to see if she could get help from her father’s old subordinates. However, before she could walk out of the hall, she saw a delicate and beautiful woman walking towards her with a murderous aura.

“Who are you?!”

Although Princess Ning Fu had always been arrogant and domineering, under Lin Suisui’s intimidation, she became timid. She subconsciously took a few steps back before stopping. Then, she looked at Lin Suisui and scolded, “Do you know where this is?!

“How dare you come to Duke Huai Yang’s mansion, personally bestowed by His Majesty, and behave so atrociously? Who gave you the guts?!”

“Stop scaring me with these nonsense! Not allowed to behave so atrociously? Your grandmother has been bullied many times already and is now Pei Zhaoyue’s lap dog!

“Since you guys are already lap dogs, don’t blame me for treating everyone in Duke Huai Yang’s ministry as subhuman!”

Lin Suisui stared at Princess Ning Fu and sneered as she mocked them.

Princess Ning Fu was used to being pampered and fawned over. When had she ever suffered such condescension?! For a moment, she almost fainted from anger.

“Guards, bring the princess away to rest!” Lin Suisui’s main purpose for today was to look for the old consort. She didn’t intend to waste any more time on Princess Ning Fu.

After she raised her hand, a guard came forward. He grabbed Princess Ning Fu, who was struggling and screaming, then dragged her and the maidservants beside her out.

Seeing that the princess had suffered such a huge blow, the remaining servants and guards guarding the entrance of the hall didn’t dare to stop her anymore. They looked around for a place to hide, since they were afraid that they would be dismembered by the two teams of ferocious-looking guards…

“Madam, the old consort is sick and is bedridden! She’s very weak now, so please be magnanimous and let her recover!”

When Lin Suisui entered the hall, the only person who came forward to stop her was Mrs. Zuo, who had been serving the old consort for many years. Seeing that Lin Suisui had barged in with her people without any scruples, she could only spread out her arms in panic and stop her.

“That’s too coincidental. I happen to be proficient in the Qihuang technique. I can help examine the consort and see if her illness is serious or light!”

Lin Suisui raised her hand, and Bai Guo, who was beside her, pulled Mrs. Zuo to the side, allowing her to walk to the bed of Duke Huai Yang’s mother smoothly.

“From the looks of it, you’re really sick!” Lin Suisui lowered her head and sized up the old consort, who was lying on the bed with a pale face. In the end, her gaze stopped on the old consort’s slightly trembling eyelashes and she said with a faint smile, “Coincidentally, I know a way to treat your condition!

However, I was in a hurry to go out today and didn’t bring silver needles!

“Yin Qiao, help me take a look at the consort’s makeup table and see if there are any sharp hairpins. Bring one over for me!”

“Madam, are you going to use that bloodletting technique?!” Yuan Niang chimed in with a smile. “It’s just that the consort looks quite sick. Will a simple golden hairpin be enough to drain the blood vessels?!”

“It’s fine. I’ll stab a few more holes if it doesn’t work. At most, I’ll bleed the consort dry. Then, she’ll be cured!”

Lin Suisui watched as her body began to tremble, but her eyes were still tightly shut as she sneered.

“Vicious woman, you vicious woman! You actually dare to threaten a senior like this?!” Duke Huai Yang’s mother couldn’t continue to lie down anymore. She hurriedly opened her eyes and retreated to the innermost part of the bed nimbly. She stared at Lin Suisui warily, but didn’t forget to put up the last struggle.

“I didn’t threaten you! You have to know that I didn’t come here for nothing!

You can’t possibly have forgotten about what you have done, right?!

Not only did you arrange for someone to create an avalanche and kill more than ten people, but you also sent people to silence them later. You secretly mobilized the soldiers of the ministry and surrounded the officials of the Imperial Court. Don’t tell me you really don’t know what kind of crime this is?!

It’s equivalent to treason! Even if I slit your throat today, it would be considered light punishment!”

Lin Suisui raised her hand and threw a stack of transcribed testimony at the old consort’s face as she said angrily, “You still don’t know how to repent? Who do you want to show off to?!

Do you really think that His Majesty will be indifferent to your crimes?!

What else can someone as dumb as you think of?!”

“It’s not me. I didn’t do it! It’s… it’s Pei Zhaoyue. Pei Zhaoyue asked me to do this! She sent someone to drag me over. She told me that if I didn’t cooperate and hand the manpower to her, she would force my granddaughter to marry a cripple or a mental retard!

I-I only have one granddaughter. It doesn’t matter what happens to me, but my granddaughter is still young. I can’t let this happen to her!

Pei Zhaoyue had always gotten whatever she wanted. What if she harmed my granddaughter?!

“She has always had the final say in the northern region and Cloud Mountain City. Duke Huai Yang’s ministry is nothing in front of her!” When the old consort heard Lin Suisui’s accusation, she couldn’t help but scream, “I was really forced to do this!”
