Chapter 389 Mental Power Exploration

The original copies of the books collected by the Su family all have special marks on them, so Su Xueyi would not make a mistake at all.

At this moment, no matter how calm he was, his hands began to tremble.

"aunt!"

Su Xueyi held the book in her hand, her voice becoming hoarse.

Shen Yueyao listened to Su Xueyi's mumbling and looked at his excited expression, and was also a little surprised, "Could it be that his mother is your aunt, and he is your cousin?"

Su Xueyi reached out and gently stroked the book in her hand and said, "Did you tell me the scholar's last name?"

Shen Yueyao said: "That man's surname is Dong, I heard others call him Brother Dong."

When Su Xueyi heard this, her eyes trembled slightly, and a hint of red flashed in her eyes as she said, "It's him. The family my aunt married back then had the surname Dong."

Shen Yueyao asked with some doubt: "Since it was your aunt who got married, and your family was also a duke's family back then, the family your aunt married into must not be an ordinary family. Moreover, even if the Su family was convicted, the married women would not be affected. Why does he look like a poor scholar with little money?"

Shen Yueyao didn't understand for a moment.

"If I had known about this relationship earlier, I should have asked more questions."

Shen Yueyao hardly asked for any news.

Su Xueyi also wanted to know all the news quickly, so he whispered, "It's getting late. I'll go there myself tomorrow."

He thought that must be his cousin.

Su Xueyi was silent for a moment, then slowly explained, "My aunt wasn't a legitimate daughter, but she was raised by my grandmother. Even though she was a concubine's daughter, she was no different from a legitimate daughter. Back then, the Duke's Mansion was at its peak of prosperity, and the Duke's concubines' daughters were also of noble status."

"I heard my grandmother say that after my aunt came of age, she wanted to find a good marriage for her, thinking that with the Duke's Mansion protecting her, no one would dare to upset her."

Shen Yueyao asked: "What happened next?"

"Later, my grandfather and grandmother selected three families from among many people and asked my aunt to choose. My aunt chose the youngest son of the Dong family, a family of noble character. The Dong family has a good family tradition. When I was young, my aunt brought my uncle and cousin to the Duke's Mansion. They were all very good people."

"And when we were exiled, the reason we were able to survive on the journey was because my uncle arranged for someone to secretly slip us some silver."

"Otherwise, with Grandma's health, Daya was still young at that time and probably wouldn't have been able to hold on. It was Second Brother who was already weak and had never practiced martial arts, so he didn't make it."

Speaking of this, Su Xueyi couldn't help but sigh.

Shen Yueyao tapped the table with her finger, feeling a little confused.

"Since they are the Dong family, a family of hairpin etiquette, even a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and they are also direct descendants, why are they like that? Or has something happened to the Dong family?"

"I think your cousin is a very good-natured man, a gentleman. I wonder how your aunt is doing."

Shen Yueyao sat there and thought about it, feeling very anxious. She wanted to ask for Su Xueyi's help.

But it’s so late now, it’s not good to bother anyone.

Moreover, Brother Dong probably has to take care of the injured scholar and is too busy to do anything else.

It would be better for her to go over there early the next morning and check on the man's injuries.

If so, she plans to use her spiritual power to heal people and make them get better quickly.

Since she is her cousin's friend, she can use some spiritual energy to help him heal quickly.

Su Xueyi was also a little worried in his heart, because he knew that people tend to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak.

Although his aunt was married and would be punished for not following the Su family, he didn't believe that it had no impact at all.

He was worried about his aunt's situation in the Dong family.

Maybe he was worried about something else.

Su Xueyi remained silent and said nothing more.

But Shen Yueyao could see that his face looked bad, as if he was worried about something.

"Don't worry too much. I think that no matter what their situation is, as long as the Su family recovers, they will once again become a help to your aunt and cousin."

Shen Yueyao sighed a little. In this era, women still need to rely on their natal family's influence after getting married.

Only if your mother’s family is strong will you be respected.

Because in this era, women could not take the imperial examinations or hold positions in the court.

Many families engage in business, and it is the men in the family who go out to do business, while there are relatively few women.

It’s different from the technological age.

In the technological age, women can win respect through their own abilities.

So it is normal for Su Xueyi to worry about his aunt.

But Shen Yueyao thought, if the Su family returned to the capital and showed signs of revival, then other families would not dare to look down on the women of the Su family.

Shen Yueyao can use her talents in business, but she cannot take the imperial examination and become an official as a woman.

So sometimes I feel a little helpless.

Fortunately, she has medical skills, which can be helpful sometimes.

"Princess Anping doesn't take human life seriously, especially since they are not ordinary people, but scholars who share the same beliefs. She just beats people up whenever she wants. She is really arrogant and presumptuous."

Shen Yueyao said, squeezing the cup in her hand hard, with a dark cold light in her eyes.

"Since she acts so arrogantly, it must be easy to find fault with her."

Shen Yueyao thought about going to take a look at it in the evening.

But when she glanced at Su Xueyi, she thought that Su Xueyi still needed to rest.

So when they finished talking, packed up, and lay down on the bed to rest, Shen Yueyao couldn't sleep either.

When she felt that Su Xueyi had fallen asleep in the middle of the night, she quietly got up.

She used her spiritual power to conceal her breath so as not to wake Su Xueyi up.

Because the scientific examination is about to start, Shen Yueyao doesn't want to disturb Su Xueyi's rest.

After Shen Yueyao came out of the house, she used her spiritual energy to quickly fly across the city.

During this period, she often walked around the city. This is also the inner city, so she naturally knew where the princess's mansion was.

Shen Yueyao soon arrived outside the princess's mansion.

She used her spiritual power to explore the entire princess's mansion and found that many places were guarded by guards.

However, these guards' martial arts skills were average, so even if Shen Yueyao entered the princess's residence and used her mental power, no one would be able to discover her.

But she still wanted to be cautious.

She only used her mental power to gradually explore the inside.

All the way to the room where the princess lived.

It was midnight, and the lights in the princess's room were still on.

However, the princess's maids and nannies were all guarding outside.

Shen Yueyao used her mental power to explore into the house.

At this time, there was a man sitting in Princess Anping Yan Wansha's room.

"Ping'er, you can't do things like this anymore. You have to know that this is no longer the time when your brother was in power."

Princess Anping said coldly, "So what? The more rampant I am, the less he'll be afraid of me. He'll just think I'm overbearing and brainless, and that'll help cover up what we're going to do."

"I do all this for you."

The man said, "I know. I dragged you into this. I didn't want this to happen."

"You faked your death without even telling me. Fortunately, you're still alive."
