Just as they were about to strike, shouts of killing erupted from all around. Jiang Yan and the palace guards charged from one side, while Prime Minister Su's retainers surrounded them from the other. Even the Imperial Guards rushed in from the rear, surrounding these Jianghu men.
Seeing this, these Jianghu people secretly thought that it was not good, but since things had come to this point, they could only fight to the death. However, they were ultimately outnumbered and were soon subdued.
Su Jinli looked at the few Jianghu people who were brought before her and asked coldly, "Tell me, was it Liu who sent you here?"
The leader of the gang was initially stubborn and refused to admit it. But under the intimidation of Jiang Yan and others, he finally confessed, "It was... Liu who asked us to do it. She gave us a large sum of money to kidnap you, but she didn't say what to do with you afterwards."
Su Jinli and Jiang Yan exchanged a glance, both realizing Liu's ulterior motives. Jiang Yan then had the gang imprisoned, awaiting the Emperor's decision. Su Jinli and Jiang Yan, meanwhile, led their men to the Prime Minister's Buddhist temple to settle accounts with Liu.
When they arrived at the Buddhist temple, Liu saw that Su Jinli was safe and sound and had brought so many people with her. Her face turned pale instantly.
Su Jinli looked at Liu and shouted angrily, "Liu, what else do you have to say? Those people in the martial arts world have already confessed that you ordered them to kidnap me. You have repeatedly harmed me. What is your intention?"
Liu fell to her knees and cried, "Jinli, I... I was confused for a moment! I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"
Su Xiang also walked in from behind, his face gloomy, and said, "Liu, you have greatly disappointed me. I thought that by locking you up in the Buddhist temple, you would repent and reform, but I didn't expect you to dare to do such a heinous thing. This time, I will never tolerate you again!"
Liu was so frightened that she trembled all over and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. But Su Jinli, Jiang Yan and Su Xiang remained unmoved.
Prime Minister Su turned to Jiang Yan and Su Jinli and said, "Jinli, Yan'er, Liu has committed a serious mistake this time and must not be forgiven easily. I will hand her over to the emperor for punishment. I believe the emperor will give you justice."
Su Jinli and Jiang Yan nodded. Then, Prime Minister Su had Liu escorted from the temple to the palace. As she was being led away, Liu continued to cry and beg for mercy, but it was too late to save her.
After this incident, Liu's conspiracy was completely shattered. Su Jinli and Jiang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that a major problem that had troubled them for so long was finally solved. Their lives would soon usher in a new peace and beauty.
However, Su Jinli knew that life might not always be smooth sailing, but as long as Jiang Yan was by her side and she had the support of her family, she had the courage to face all the unknown challenges. In the days that followed, she and Jiang Yan cherished each other even more, managing their lives and the bookstore with care. After this incident, Young Marquis Su became more mature and stable, often helping Su Jinli and Jiang Yan with their affairs. Su Qingyao continued to devote herself to her rouge business, occasionally sharing interesting stories with Su Jinli. After weathering the storm, the family's life became even more warm and sweet.
