Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene.

"Su Yun'an, you bastard! How dare you bite my second sister!" Su Muyao was the first to react, grabbing Su Yun'an and about to slap him.

Before Su Muyao's slap could land on Su Yun'an's face, Su Xuening grabbed Su Muyao's hand even faster and slapped her back.

"Slap!" The loud slap silenced the previously noisy scene instantly.

This was the first time everyone had seen Miss Su so enraged. She had always been so calm and composed when facing the Emperor, but now she had actually started a fight in front of everyone.

"Su Xuening, you bitch!" Su Muyao was stunned by the beating and it took her a while to react. Instantly, she went berserk and tried to hit Su Xuening.

Su Xuening grabbed Su Muyao's hand and gripped it tightly, angrily asking, "Bastard? Bitch? Who are you calling a bastard! My father, Su Renzhong, guarded the border of Dongchu for decades, achieving countless military exploits, and died on the battlefield. He was personally bestowed the title of Marquis of Yong'an by the Emperor. My mother, Mu Junyu, was dignified and beautiful, born into a prestigious family, and possessed unparalleled beauty. She was personally bestowed the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady by the Emperor! How dare you, Su Muyao, insult the First-Rank Marquis and First-Rank Imperial Lady in front of the current Emperor! Who gave you the audacity!"

Su Xuening pushed her hard, and Su Muyao fell to the ground, unable to get up again. She lowered her eyes in fear and dared not utter another sound.

Damn it, she forgot the Emperor was still there, and there were so many onlookers. She was so impulsive.

"And another thing," Su Xuening said sharply, glancing at Su Feiling, "I can tolerate your insults, but you can't touch my brother!"

"I will never allow you to insult my sister!" Su Yun'an stood next to Su Xuening, hands on her hips, glaring at Su Feiling like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

Seeing that the siblings regarded each other as their only weakness, the onlookers were all deeply moved.

With the Marquis of Yong'an deceased and Lady Mu missing, the siblings are now alone and helpless. They should support each other like this, otherwise they will truly be bullied to death by others.

Xuan Yuanpeng was also left with mixed feelings by Su Xuening's words.

No matter what, Su Renzhong sacrificed his life for the country and was a loyal and heroic general. Now that these two children have been bullied like this, he feels ashamed of Su Renzhong. The second branch of the Su family has really gone too far.

Xuanyuan Peng glared angrily at Consort Su.

Consort Su knew that Xuan Yuanpeng was angry, and she also felt some resentment towards Su Renyi and Zhong Shi.

I've told my second brother many times before that he must treat Su Xuening and Su Yun'an, the siblings, well, at least on the surface. How could things have escalated to this point?

Seeing Su Xuening's sharp, reasonable, and composed demeanor, Bai Shi became increasingly satisfied with her, and her resolve grew stronger.

Su Feiling clutched her wrist, which had been bitten by Su Yun'an, and was furious with the two siblings, but with so many people watching, she couldn't lash out.

Seeing her two daughters defeated, Madam Zhong immediately turned to Emperor Xuanyuan Peng and Consort Su and cried out, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, it was Su Xuening who harmed our Yuan'er! Please, Your Majesty and Your Highness, do justice for our Yuan'er!"

Seeing that Zhong was starting to accuse people without any evidence, Su Xuening followed suit and knelt down in front of Xuan Yuanpeng: "Your Majesty, the fire at Jingxue Pavilion is strange. It must be that the second branch of the family wanted to kill me and Yun'an. Please, Your Majesty, do justice for my brother and me!"

Su Yun'an was very clever and followed suit, kneeling down in front of Xuan Yuanpeng to complain: "Your Majesty, the fire at Lingxiao Pavilion was not started by A-Quan at all. It was the second branch of the family who wanted to burn my sister and me to death. They even killed my servants to frame us. Please, Your Majesty, do justice for my brother and me!"

Xuanyuan Peng looked at the brother and sister kneeling in front of him and Zhong Shi wailing over there, and suddenly felt like he had two heads to split open.

Xuanyuan Peng rubbed his head and asked the imperial physician, "When will Su Linyuan wake up?"

"This..." This question stumped the imperial physician. After thinking for a moment, the physician said, "Young Master Su's injuries are serious, and he probably won't wake up for a while. However, if Your Majesty insists on waking him up, we can think of a way."

"My poor Yuan'er!" Upon hearing that the Emperor might insist on waking Su Linyuan, Madam Zhong hugged Su Linyuan and wailed again.

Xuanyuan Peng frowned and glanced at Madam Zhong, about to have the imperial physician wake Su Linyuan up.

Zong Jiu glanced at Mo Qi lying to the side, bowed and suggested, "Your Majesty, why don't we ask the servant first? His injuries seem to be less severe."

Xuanyuan Peng immediately gave the imperial physician a wink, and the physician instantly understood and went to treat Moqi.

"Cough cough!" Before the imperial physicians could treat Mo Qi, Mo Qi woke up on her own.

"How are you?" Mo Hua stepped forward and helped Mo Qi up.

As soon as Mo Qi woke up, he grabbed Mo Hua and anxiously cried for help: "Young Master, please save the Young Master!"

Seeing his loyal and devoted demeanor, everyone was somewhat moved.

"Young Master..." Mo Hua wanted to comfort Mo Qi, but when she thought of her young master's current state, she couldn't bring herself to say anything.

"What's wrong with the young master?" Seeing Mo Hua stammering, Mo Qi immediately became anxious and looked for Su Linyuan anxiously.

Seeing Su Linyuan lying next to him, Mo Qi immediately crawled over.

Mo Qi crawled to Su Linyuan's side, looking at his shattered leg bones. All he could think of was Su Xuening's ruthless image of smashing him down with a stick. Before he knew it, he was covered in cold sweat.

Mo Qi remembered the task Su Xuening had given him, and immediately pressed his thumb against Su Linyuan's philtrum, crying out anxiously, "Young Master, don't scare this servant! Please wake up!"

At this moment, Mo Qi looked exactly like a loyal servant anxious for his master.

"Moqi, what happened? Why did the young master's leg become like this? Who harmed the young master?" Madam Zhong cried as she gestured to Moqi.

Mo Qi understood what Zhong meant, and followed her gaze to Su Xuening: "Yes..."

Before Mo Qi could speak, Xuan Yuanpeng raised his chin at him and said, "Bring the person over here. I want to question him myself."

At Xuanyuan Peng's command, two Imperial Guards immediately stepped forward and carried Moqi to Xuanyuan Peng like a chick.

Mo Qi had never seen such a scene before and was immediately terrified.

"Why haven't you paid your respects to the Emperor yet!" Zong Jiu reminded him with a stern face.

Mo Qi then realized what was happening and immediately kowtowed to Xuan Yuanpeng: "This servant... greets Your Majesty!"

"You are Su Linyuan's servant," Xuanyuan Peng asked, looking at him.

"Yes. This servant is the personal servant of Su Linyuan, the heir of the Yong'an Marquis's mansion." Mo Qi lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to even raise his head.

Why are you here at Jingxue Pavilion?

“Yes…” Mo Qi seemed to recall Zhong Shi’s earlier instruction and secretly glanced at Su Xuening.

Zong Jiu saw through his intention and coldly reminded him, "Lying before the Emperor is a crime of deceiving the Emperor, punishable by the execution of your entire family!"

Mo Qi was instantly terrified and prostrated himself on the ground again, trembling as he said, "Young Master was drunk. He... he insisted on coming to see Miss, and this servant couldn't stop him!"
