Su Yulan shouted angrily, "Chunmei, are you dead?"
Chunmei then came to her senses and tried her best to chase people away, but she couldn't manage it on her own.
Having no other choice, she quickly turned back and stood in front of the naked Su Yulan.
"Stop looking and leave now! Do you want to lose your heads if you offend the county magistrate's mansion?"
Laughter erupted from the crowd.
"You're the one who clamored for us to come here, and now you're saying you want to punish us. Right under the emperor's nose, you're the ones who disregard propriety, righteousness, and shame. What does it have to do with us?"
"Exactly! It's clearly your county princess who felt she wasn't having enough fun by herself, so she invited us to come and watch. Does she think we didn't applaud and cheer?"
Those who come to join in the fun are either gossipy people or spoiled brats roaming the streets, and they never repeat the same dirty jokes.
Seeing the situation getting out of control, Su Yulan was both anxious and ashamed. She tore off Chunmei's outer garment and wrapped it around herself, then awkwardly tried to squeeze out of the crowd. During this time, she was touched on the chest and pinched on the waist by countless men, and the shouts were endless.
She couldn't squeeze out at all; instead, several bold men egged her on and pinned her against the door.
Some people even touched her thigh along the hem of her skirt.
Fortunately, a patrol of soldiers passed by, which caused the crowd of onlookers to disperse.
Her disheveled and disheveled appearance had already been seen by everyone.
After the courtyard gate closed, Su Yulan, with nowhere to vent her anger, raised her hand and slapped Chunmei several times, until Chunmei's face was swollen like a pig's head.
Chunmei dared not resist and knelt on the ground crying.
"Princess, this servant truly did not know that you were inside. We must have been tricked by that vile woman Jiang Qingwan."
"Do you need to tell me!"
Su Yulan cursed angrily, then suddenly turned to look at Xia Yu, who was slumped on the ground.
He immediately rushed over and slapped her twice.
"Tell me, why are you here? And where did Jiang Qingwan and Guo Hao go?"
Lost in thought, Xia Yu felt as if a string in his head had snapped.
A memory suddenly rushed back.
He jumped up with a shout of "Oh!" and exclaimed, "Guo Hao, I knew it was you!"
Su Yulan was startled by his actions.
What are you saying?
Xia Yu snapped out of his daze and was startled to see Su Yulan's disheveled appearance.
Just now, the spiritual energy that Jiang Qingwan channeled into his brow shattered the remaining power of the talisman, so he didn't hear anything and had no idea what had happened.
I thought it had only been a blink of an eye.
His face flushed red as he backed away. His sense of propriety and shame prevented him from looking at Su Yulan. He hurriedly bowed, but when he looked down, he noticed that he was only wearing his underwear.
He yelled and grabbed the clothes from the ground, putting them on.
“Princess Su, although I am handsome and have a reputation as a talented scholar, you cannot do such a thing to me.”
He suddenly remembered something and immediately jumped up in anger.
Jiang Qingwan must have used her magic on him again, and then deliberately lured Su Yulan to do something improper with him, sowing discord between him and Prince Su.
However, he had already remembered what happened at the Su residence that day; Jiang Qingwan and Guo Hao were both going to die.
He wrapped his clothes tighter and bowed slightly to Su Yulan.
“Princess Su, my father and I are both working for your grandfather. If you want to have fun, please find someone else.”
After saying that, he walked away without looking back.
Su Yulan choked half to death, but she keenly sensed something was amiss.
The Xia family is doing something for my grandfather?
If that's the case, why did Guo Hao and Jiang Qingwan bring him here and torture him so severely? Were they trying to deal with their grandfather?
They really don't know what's good for them!
If Xia Yu were to file a complaint, all the blame for today's events would fall on the heads of the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence and the Ninth Prince's residence.
Since my grandfather cares so much about the Su family's reputation, he certainly won't let it go easily.
"Chunmei, let's go back to the manor."
Chunmei quickly got up from the ground. "Princess, this matter is likely to cause a lot of rumors. Should we do something about it?"
Su Yulan sneered.
"That bitch Jiang Qingwan is only relying on the Ninth Prince as her backer. It's still unknown whether he can come back from this bandit suppression. A country bumpkin actually colluded with the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion and got involved in the court infighting. I'd like to see how she dies this time."
...
Guo Hao did not follow Jiang Qingwan any further.
He needed to rush back to the Marquis's residence to inform his father in advance and take precautions.
Inside the carriage, Jiang Qingwan remained silent, lost in thought.
Halfway there, she lifted the curtain and called out to Qinghui.
"Does Mo Yunhan have any sources for gathering information?"
Qing Sui was stunned.
What do you want to know?
Jiang Qingwan said, "I want to know Su Weichuan's life story, the more detailed the better. Is it possible to find out?"
Su Weichuan was a renowned figure in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
There are countless rumors, but no one has long since traced which ones are true and which ones are false.
A thorough investigation is not an easy task.
"I'll do my best to find out. When does the Princess want it?"
"The sooner the better."
Jiang Qingwan always felt that some things were veiled in a layer of gauze, and she just couldn't see them clearly no matter what she did.
Qinghui nodded and continued driving.
As soon as the carriage returned to the alley behind the Prince's Mansion, a pure black carriage was seen parked at the gate.
The carriage roof was decorated with a golden dragon hat buckle, but there were no other decorations.
Upon hearing the sound of their carriage, an old eunuch from the Hall of Mental Cultivation came out from behind the carriage, bowed slightly, and stopped their carriage.
Jiang Qingwan lifted the carriage curtain and looked up at the black carriage.
She had assumed the Emperor Emeritus was inside, but the old eunuch approached and said, “Your Highness, this old servant has come to fetch you on the Emperor Emeritus’s orders. Please move to the carriage.”
