Chapter 537: The Femme Fatale in the Double Life Story (36)

Su Yu stayed in the Yongchang Marquis's mansion for a few days, during which time the Yongchang Marquis came to ask her if she had quarreled with Xie Qinglan.

Su Yu didn't dare to tell the truth. She just vaguely said that Xie Qinglan was busy these days and she wanted to come back and live with him.

Yongchang Hou advised her earnestly, "Qinglan is now highly valued by the emperor. Maybe he will be promoted again in a few months. It is inevitable that he will be busy. As his wife, you should take good care of the harem for him so that he has no worries. Don't be too willful."

Su Yu was annoyed when she heard this: "I understand."

Yongchang Hou: "I'll ask Qinglan to come over for dinner tomorrow, you can go back with him."

Su Yu was shocked: "No!"

Yongchang Hou was puzzled and frowned: "Yu'er, tell me the truth, did you have a fight?"

"No." Su Yu lowered her head unnaturally, "Father, you go out first, I will be back."

Yongchang Hou looked at her and sighed: "Forget it, I can't control your affairs. Your sister is at home. You can go and talk to her if you are bored."

Su Yu perfunctorily said, "I know, don't worry."

Only then did Marquis Yongchang leave.

Ever since Su Miaoer’s last engagement was broken off, the Marquis’ Mansion has looked at many families for her, but none of them came from high-class families.

Although outsiders may think she is the victim of the broken engagement, the social order today is harsh on women, and families with a little status will not marry her as their legal wife.

Su Miaoer compared those people with Xie Qinglan, and after choosing and choosing, she didn't like any of them, and quarreled with the Marquis of Yongchang and his wife many times because of this.

Su Yu didn't have the time to visit her because she was worried about herself.

After Yongchang Hou left, Lan Ying came in: "Miss, are you okay?"

Su Yu looked unhappy: "Has Xie Qinglan been here?"

Hearing this, Lan Ying was depressed: "My son-in-law didn't come."

Su Yu had been back for so many days, but Xie Qinglan hadn't come once. Lan Ying was almost worried to death: "Miss, what happened between you and your uncle?"

Su Yu fell silent: "I don't know how to talk about this matter."

She murmured in a low voice: "Anyway, it's a good thing that Xie Qinglan is not coming."

Xie Qinglan hasn't returned home for several days. He lives in the place where he is on duty every day, busy from morning to night, numbing himself with official business so that he won't think of Su Yu.

He thought the ending of this life would be different, but it turned out that there was no difference.

"Hurry up and tell your uncle that it's time to close the net."

Xie Qinglan was originally willing to let the fake guy jump around for two days, but now, he just wants him to die quickly.

The subordinate responded, “Yes.”

Xie Qinglan knew the truth half a year ago, and it was at that time that he met the Prime Minister's Mansion. Both sides made plans at the same time, collecting evidence from that year without alerting the people behind the eldest prince, just to bring them down in one fell swoop.

Su Yu learned about this from the system, and said, "I was wondering why the male lead didn't settle accounts with me for so long. It turns out that he had something more important to do."

Once the impostor is brought down, will it be her turn?

System: [Is the host scared? ]

Su Yu: [How is that possible?]

At this time, Lan Ying suddenly came back and ran in breathlessly, saying, "Miss, I just followed your instructions to deliver a letter to the eldest prince's wife, but as soon as I left, I saw many soldiers surrounding the eldest prince's mansion. I also saw my son-in-law."

Su Yu: […I seem to be a little scared.]

At this time, in the eldest prince's mansion, the well-trained royal guards broke into the house and lined up in a strict formation. The doorman who had just received the post and was about to send it to the eldest prince's wife was frightened out of his wits.

Xie Qinglan was dressed in a solemn and noble black robe with a stern face. Accompanied by General He, the commander of the Imperial Guards, he walked through the middle of the queue and slowly entered the First Prince's Palace.

When passing by the gatehouse, Xie Qinglan stopped and glanced down: "What are you holding?"

General He said sternly: "Your Highness asked you a question, why don't you answer it quickly!"

The concierge looked up tremblingly, and when he saw Xie Qinglan, he was confused. Your Highness? When did such a Your Highness appear in the capital?

"Yes, it's a post for the queen."

Xie Qinglan gave him a look, and General He personally handed it to him: "Your Highness."

Xie Qinglan took it casually, opened it and took a look. His face suddenly darkened and the chilly air made him shiver.

General He silently glanced at the content of the post. It was very ordinary and normal. He couldn't see anything worth getting angry about.

The content is indeed ordinary, but the handwriting is not ordinary.

Xie Qinglan recognized it as Su Yu's handwriting at a glance. It was clearly just a few lines of words. Xie Qinglan read it back and forth several times, and the aura around him became increasingly cold.

The news about the eldest prince's mansion spread quickly. Before long, most people in the capital knew about it and looked for people to find out the truth.

I heard that the person in charge of this matter was Xie Qinglan, and Marquis Yongchang even came to ask Su Yu for information.

Unfortunately, Su Yu knew nothing about anything he asked, so Marquis Yongchang had to leave with regret. Before leaving, he still advised her to go home as soon as possible, saying that it was not a good thing for a married daughter to live in her parents' home every day.

Su Yu agreed with a smile: "I know, father."

Ever since Lan Ying told her that the eldest prince's mansion was surrounded by the Imperial Guards, Su Yu's eyelids have been twitching. Now they are twitching more and more violently, and her heart is panicking, as if something is about to happen.

As the Marquis of Yongchang was walking out, the butler suddenly ran over in a hurry: "Oh no! Something terrible has happened to the Marquis!"

Yongchang Hou frowned: "Why are you so flustered?"

Su Yu also walked out to see, and stood half a step behind Marquis Yongchang, listening to what the housekeeper said.

The housekeeper took a breath and continued, "Something bad has happened. I saw the Royal Guards coming towards our house. They were very aggressive and terrifying."

Marquis Yongchang was horrified, and thought carefully that he had no relationship with the eldest prince.

"Quick! Go open the door!"

Marquis Yongchang prayed in his heart that nothing would happen.

It was too late, the sound of swords clashing was getting closer.

The servants in the Marquis' Mansion retreated to the side trembling with fear, not daring to move. The door of the courtyard was not closed. After the Royal Guards came in, they were well-trained and stood in two rows, then separated in the middle to leave a path wide enough for passage.

Yongchang Hou was startled and hurried forward to ask, "May I ask what brings you here?"

In the past, if someone dared to trespass into the Marquis's mansion, Marquis Yongchang would have arrested them. He would never be so humble.

But these were the Imperial Guards dispatched by His Majesty himself, and with the incident at the Grand Prince's Mansion in the past, even if Marquis Yongchang had a title, he would not be so foolish and arrogant at this time.

Unfortunately, the Royal Guards stood straight and no one answered his question.

Su Yu's eyelids twitched even more violently, and she nervously grabbed Lan Ying's arm.

A familiar figure walked steadily among the Royal Guards.

"Don't worry, my Lord. I just came to take my wife home."

Xie Qinglan was still wearing the same dark robe he wore when he went to the eldest prince's mansion. There seemed to be a small wet spot on the hem of the robe, but the color of the robe was too dark to tell what it was.

A faint smell of blood wafted over.

Su Yu's breathing became tight, her face turned pale, and she stared in panic at the person who was slowly walking towards her.

Xie Qinglan lowered his dark eyes slightly, looking at her coldly without a trace of emotion: "How long do you want to live here?"

Su Yu's teeth trembled and she took a step back: "No, I don't..."

Before he could finish his words, his wrist was grabbed.

Xie Qinglan did not give Su Yu a chance to refuse. He pulled her along without question and turned to look at the Marquis of Yongchang: "Excuse me, my Lord. I'm going to take my wife back."

Yongchang Hou said in a daze: "Okay."

As Xie Qinglan left, the Imperial Guards also left, as if they had never been there.
