Sun Yun looked at her with pity. If you're stupid, don't try to play tricks like others. But if what she said would make her vomit blood, she wouldn't mind saying a few more words. "Fourth Prince's Consort, you're very proud of being called that, aren't you? You and Xie Jinhuan put on that show, you think it was very clever?"

She gave a mocking smile. "The moment Xie Jinhuan appeared, I knew what you were up to: ruin her reputation and then catch her in the act. Do you think you're the only one who knows these tricks? Everyone else has already done them. Please think of some new ones."

"What I'm asking is why I got here before you!" Sun Si glared angrily, she would rather die than admit that she was inferior to Sun Yun!

“In the past, when Green Ivy asked why Half Bundle’s name was Half Bundle, everyone thought it was because I had chosen it randomly. I even believed it myself. You asked why you appeared here first. It’s because Half Bundle moved your water clock.”

"Impossible! Banshu has been by your side the whole time, impossible!" Sun Si was so angry that he went crazy, his mind was like a mess, and he couldn't understand anything.

"Is the Fourth Prince's Consort referring to this servant?" Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Banshu walked in from outside. Zhao Shu was also stunned, as she had clearly seen Banshu dead just now.

Banshu walked in, first curtsied, and reported, "Miss, Consort Hao and the Fourth Prince have arrived." She was wearing the same clothes she had worn that morning, but they were clean and without any bloodstains.

"Hurry up and write, or you'll become the first Sun family daughter to be divorced," Sun Yun reminded her again.

Upon seeing the half-finished bundle, Sun Si immediately slumped down and began copying it onto a piece of paper.

After she finished copying, Chu Chun also wrote a transfer statement for Jingxinyuan. After Zhao Shu checked it and found no problems, she signed it for her.

"I hope you can give me everything I want within three days. Otherwise, these poems will be revealed to the world, and you will become a renowned female poet of the bold and unrestrained school, famous for all time." Sun Yun crumpled up the original manuscript and ate it, then tore off the copy that Sun Si had copied and stuffed it into her bosom.

She had barely finished speaking when she heard Xiao Guozi say, "This servant greets the Fourth Prince."

The Fourth Prince ignored Xiao Guozi and walked up the stairs quickly, opening the door shortly afterward.

After pushing open the door and going around the screen, ignoring everyone else, she went straight to Sun Yun, who was pale-faced. "Yun, are you alright? I heard you had an accident, so I rushed over. I was so worried about you."

Sun Yun dodged his outstretched hand and stood next to Zhao Shu. "Thank you for your concern, Fourth Prince. I'm fine. It's the Fourth Prince's Consort who's in trouble. She was stabbed by a thug."

When Zhao Bi saw Zhao Shu, an awkward expression appeared on his face. After hearing Sun Yun's words, he looked at the blood-stained bed. Under the bed lay a man who had already died, while Sun Si lay weakly on the bed with a dagger stuck in his chest, the wound still bleeding profusely.

"What happened?" His face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. How could things have gone wrong when everything he had planned had gone wrong? Suddenly, his gaze fell on Banshu, his heart pounded, and he was filled with unquenchable hatred. So he had been tricked!

Realizing this, she immediately shouted, "Summon the imperial physician!" After shouting, she sat down by the bed and gently comforted Sun Si, "Jiaojiao, don't be afraid, your husband is here, don't be afraid."

Sun Si's given name was Sun Jiao, but since there were many people in the Sun family, they usually called her by her name in order. This "Jiao Jiao" brought tears to Sun Si's eyes. She had just stabbed herself and was in so much pain that she wished she could die. But her husband, upon entering the house, was concerned about Sun Yun first!

Watching her husband rush to her sister's side, his eyes filled with an urgency and worry she had never seen before, her heart ached! The pain was so intense she wanted to get up and tear Sun Yun to pieces.

Thinking about it, all that gentleness I'm showing now is an act, an act!

If she didn't have the status of the eldest daughter of the Sun family, if she didn't have that ten-mile-long red bridal procession, if she didn't have this Jingxin Garden, would she have a place in his heart?

Zhao Shu glanced at Sun Yun, who looked at the couple with a mocking expression. "Let's go."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Bi's eyes flickered, but he ultimately did not chase after her. Instead, he stayed in the house to look after Sun Si. When he came out of the house, he saw Consort Hao leading a group of people towards him. She was walking very fast, with a little eunuch trailing her long skirt behind her. Even running, he could hardly keep up with her speed.

When Consort Hao arrived at the bamboo building, she saw Zhao Shu and Sun Yun covered in blood. She screamed in fright, covered her mouth tightly, and it took her a while to calm down before she could speak. "Where is the Fourth Prince?" Her first question was this.

“It’s inside,” Chu Chun replied.

"Make way." Hao Shumei was very anxious. She lifted her skirt, pushed aside Zhao Shu and Sun Yun, and passed between the two, heading straight for the bamboo house.

Unsurprisingly, there was another scream. Zhao Shu and Sun Yun ignored it. Over the years, after so many things, and considering Emperor Mingde's intelligence, Zhao Shu had figured it out: this woman had something to rely on, but she believed that what she relied on now would soon become the Yongwang Mansion.

He led the people slowly through the long path, which was lined with bamboo on both sides. Normally, the bamboo forest looked like a vast sea of ​​bamboo, but at this moment it looked particularly gloomy.

After walking for a while, Sun Yun said, "Ah Jun, there's something you said to me back then, and I want to say it to you today."

"I know, I said I wouldn't lie to you, but I won't say what I won't say," Zhao Shu said with some emotion.

"I'm not lying to you, but I really want to tell you, Ah Jun, my mother was pregnant, but she just miscarried. Ah Jun, I hate it!" She hugged Zhao Shu and cried loudly in the rustling bamboo forest.

“I went to Guanzhou with you for my own selfish reasons. My mother told me to hide, and I thought that if I hid, I would be let off the hook. Ah Jun, I was wrong.” She cried. “Grandmother wanted to marry me off to her stupid nephew, but I refused. So she kept refusing to arrange a good marriage for me. So, Ah Jun, I hate it.”
