Chapter 126 The answer is about to come out

"Why are you so careless?"

Just as Marquis Yong'an was about to talk to Yun Ji about the official position, Su Rui made this commotion, which annoyed Marquis Yong'an and made his tone a little impatient.

Feeling Yun Ji's gaze, she realized that Su Rui was no longer the same person she used to be, and immediately said softly, "Fortunately, the weather is getting cooler, so the clothes are thicker, otherwise you would get burned."

Su Rui wiped the water with her handkerchief, but there were still large tea stains on the hem of her skirt. She had no choice but to stand up and say, "I'll go back to the courtyard and change clothes first."

Yun Ji nodded. Although Yong'an Hou felt that it would be difficult to say anything if Su Rui left, he couldn't keep her after seeing the glaring tea stains on her skirt, so he had to let her go.

After leaving the main courtyard and heading towards Chaoyang Courtyard, Su Rui whispered to Luo E, "Go and ask Liang privately what she has done recently. Be careful and don't arouse suspicion."

Luo E nodded and did it.

Su Rui believed in Luo E's ability, even though she was only in charge of Chaoyang Courtyard at first, but she was a person who looked three steps ahead and quietly extended her hand into the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

Luo E came back from outside and put on a pleated skirt that she had not taken away from the closet.

"The Marquis' wife hasn't done anything special lately. She's just been keeping house. But the other day, someone saw Madam Qian entering the mansion from the corner gate late at night, and that night the Marquis' wife had a heart attack."

The day before yesterday was indeed the time when Zhou Yao went to Prince Long’s mansion.

Although she did not deliberately listen to news about Zhou Yao, she also knew that Zhou Yao suffered a lot on her wedding night.

It seemed that the Marquis' wife could not bear the torture of her daughter and suffered a heart attack out of grief.

But...how could Liang be such a fragile person?

She did have a heart disease, but she had been taking medicine with her for many years and had always taken very good care of herself. Most of her so-called illnesses were fake and rarely real.

Su Rui had only seen her fall ill once in her soul. That time was when Mother Qian brought back some news. Liang's face suddenly changed, and she stood up and had a heart attack.

But she was trapped at the time, unable to move, and unable to follow Liang. She didn't know what had made her so panicked, and how she resolved it afterwards.

But when she got closest, she seemed to hear a word.

Sichuan.

Could it be Lin Chuan?

But Lin Chuan was just Liang's former lover, and she no longer liked him since Liang married Marquis Yong'an.

Moreover, she did not live to return to Beijing in her previous life, so naturally there was no such thing as Zhou Yao asking Lin Chuan to kidnap her. Lin Chuan and Liang had very few interactions after that.

How could Lin Chuan cause Liang, who was always calm and composed, to fall ill?

wrong.

She had thought too superficially at the time.

Liang and Lin Chuan must have more than just a mistress relationship. There must be other connections between them, which may even threaten Liang in her previous life.

In her previous life, Liang could be considered a winner in life. Marquis Yong'an was a successful official but still deeply in love with her. Su Ye had a smooth career and was filial to her. Zhou Yao also married into a wealthy family, and she had the final say in the entire Marquis's mansion.

If Lin Chuan could still threaten her in this situation, it must be something that concerns her lifeblood.

The lifeblood of the Liang family...

Su Rui recalled the incident that had been lingering in her ears since she was born.

Her mother was a liar who stole everything that belonged to the Liang family. She got pregnant by tricking the Marquis of Yong'an into giving her a baby before her mother was exposed.

Everyone says that my mother is a liar, but is this true?

If you think about it the other way around, if my mother is not the liar, then who is the liar?

The answer is obvious.

Su Rui stepped out of the door. Luo E saw that she was not heading to the main courtyard and asked, "Concubine, are we not going back?"

"The Marquis's wife is suffering from a heart attack, yet she still came out to greet me today. Naturally, I have to go and see her."

Luo E understood immediately and took a quick step forward to make way for Su Rui.

When they reached Liang's east courtyard, they saw Su Rui coming. The maid was so scared that she ran into the house to report.

As soon as Su Rui entered the yard, Mother Qian ran out of the house and intercepted her, asking, "Why is the concubine here?"

"The Marquis's wife is unwell, so I will come to visit her."

"Madam has taken her medicine and is lying down to rest. It is not convenient to visit her."

Mother Qian's nervousness was like a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt. They were more afraid of her than others.

Why?

Because of the wolf cub?

Maybe Liang thought that she knew about the wolf cub and other things as well, so she was afraid.

"I'll just take a look. If Madam Hou is alright, I'll leave naturally."

Su Rui stepped forward, and Mother Qian wanted to stop her, but Luo E reached out and grabbed her.

She immediately signaled for others to come up, but as soon as the other maids and servants in the yard moved, Zhuiyue jumped out from behind the eaves like a ghost.

Even without drawing his sword, the murderous aura alone frightened everyone so much that they dared not move forward.

"This is the Madam's inner courtyard. How can a concubine let a man in? This..."

Before Mother Qian could finish her hoarse words, something appeared in her mouth.

It was slippery and went straight into my throat, and I couldn't make any sound.

Under her horrified gaze, Su Rui pushed open the door and walked into the house.

Liang was lying on the bed, supporting half of her body with her hands, her face pale.

This was the first time Su Rui saw Liang looking so haggard.

But even though she is sick, she still has a unique charm, like a weak sick beauty. If she speaks a few pitiful words in a delicate manner, most men will feel pity for her.

For people like Yong'an Hou, the effect is doubled.

But it didn't work on Su Rui.

"Why is Madam Hou looking at me in such horror, as if I were some kind of man-eating evil ghost?" Su Rui said as he sat on the couch as if he were in his own room, looking at Liang.

Liang felt uneasy when she looked at her, as if she could see through all her disguises at a glance.

She didn't expect Su Rui to come to her.

Ever since she returned to Beijing, this damn girl no longer fell for her tricks, and she treated her with indifference, and never set foot in her yard again.

But he rushed over here today, could it be...

No way!

impossible!

Lin Chuan will not fall into her hands.

"How could that be? I just didn't expect that you, Rui'er, would come to visit me. I thought it was a dream." Liang smiled to hide her panic and turned into the Bodhisattva face she used to be.

"Is that so? I thought my aunt was panicking." Su Rui smiled even more, and his gaze at Liang became more naked.

"Heart disease does cause panic, it's a symptom."

"Is Aunt's heart disease caused by my cousin?"

"Of course, even though she did something wrong, she was tortured like that. As her mother, how can I not be sad? But, Rui'er, I don't blame you at all. It's Yao'er who let you suffer. I didn't protect you back then, and I'm also sorry to my sister."

As she spoke, Liang's tears began to fall.

It wasn't dropped for her to see, but for the people who came.

Su Rui could already smell a hint of sandalwood brought by the wind, and then the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.
