Su Muyan never expected that Zhao Ju was so resourceful that he could rescue her from the heavily guarded prison in the capital.
In the dungeon of the capital, she heard how tragic her brother's death was, and she also knew that her safe departure from the capital was all arranged by her brother.
For her freedom, her brother, who was always cautious in his words and deeds, risked his life to send her out of Beijing.
But my brother himself could not escape the danger and lost his life.
Those people said that when Xiao Yunchen found his brother, he was still alive, but his body was already rotting and full of maggots.
Su Muyan has been in a trance these days.
The strange thing is that even though she learned that he died in such a tragic way, her memories were all about the happy and carefree days they had together in northern Jiangsu.
Su Muyan's tears, which had long dried up, now flowed endlessly like the rushing waters of the Huai River before her.
She murmured softly, "Zhao Ju, I'm going to find my brother."
"What did you say?" Zhao Ju looked at Su Muyan, who was getting closer and closer to the turbulent river, and quickly reached out to comfort her: "Yan'er! Don't go any further! If you hate me, you can hit me, scold me, and punish me at will, it's all up to you!"
The man who had always been casual and didn't care about anything was now shaking his head in panic.
Lowering his posture, he coaxed her softly, "You can't do this, Yan'er... You can't do this to me. Come here, come quickly! We finally escaped from the capital. From now on, I will no longer restrict your freedom. Let's live a good life with our son. From now on, you can do whatever you want. I will listen to you, okay?"
"Freedom?" Su Muyan turned her head to look at him: "I don't need it anymore in the future. I want to go find my brother. From now on, I will be with him and never be separated again..."
The Su family is gone, her brother is gone, and she gave birth to a child for the person she hated the most.
Su Muyan forced a relieved smile: "Zhao Ju, life is too hard. If you still have a conscience, raise our child well. If you hate him, send him to me."
After saying that, she turned around resolutely and jumped into the rushing river.
"thump!"
"No——" Zhao Ju yelled in panic and ran over, "Yan'er! I won't allow you to leave me!"
Looking at the figure floating up and down in the river, Zhao Ju gritted his teeth and jumped in.
The guards standing by never expected that their young master would jump down with Su Muyan.
"Young Master! Young Master——"
They shouted, but the rushing river had already submerged their bodies, and not even a trace of their figures could be seen.
It was several days later that news came from the capital that Zhao Ju and Su Muyan had both committed suicide by jumping into the river.
When Li Sisi heard the news, she was a little skeptical: "You mean they're really dead? In this era, do men really commit suicide for women? They're not faking their deaths to get away with it, are they?"
"That shouldn't be the case?" Li Sisi said uncertainly.
Li Sisi thought for a moment and said, "I heard the body hasn't been found yet. It's hard to say for sure!"
"What's so difficult to say?" Xiao Yunyu suddenly pushed the door open and interrupted.
Li Nian raised her eyes and looked at him: "We are talking about Zhao Ju and Su Muyan's affairs, whether they are really dead or faked."
"The Huai River is very fast-flowing. Unless you are a very good swimmer, there is basically no chance of survival for others who fall into it." Xiao Yunyu raised his eyebrows slightly, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
Li Nian couldn't help but ask curiously, "What makes you so happy?"
Xiao Yunyu raised his lips and smiled: "Of course it's a good thing. The evidence you produced earlier was very useful. Now Wen Luoxin has been arrested and imprisoned in the Sky Prison."
Li Nian was not surprised by this matter.
She was more concerned about another matter: "How is the investigation into the plague in the capital going?"
"All the evidence points to Wen Luoxin." Xiao Yunyu replied.
Li Nian frowned. "She alone wouldn't be able to orchestrate such a large-scale scheme."
"The person who is working with Wen Luoxin must be someone extraordinary, and he cannot be touched."
Hearing this, Li Nian asked in surprise: "So you know who it is?"
"It's just a suspicion, but there's insufficient evidence at the moment." Xiao Yunyu answered truthfully.
The plague in the capital city caused a big stir, but unexpectedly it was brought to a hasty end, and those who were arrested and convicted were all small fry.
The others were executed on a chosen day, except Wen Luoxin, whose sentence was suspended until one year later because Li Nian and Li Sisi went to the palace to plead for her.
The two best friends decided to move to celebrate.
"Moving?" Xiao Yunchen's face was full of reluctance. "My wife is fine, why do you want to move? But mother is giving you trouble again?"
Li Sisi quickly waved her hands: "No, it has nothing to do with her. Since the emperor has given you a house, and you are now the prime minister, it is more convenient to live in the prime minister's residence."
Xiao Yunchen frowned: "The Marquis' Mansion is also very convenient. I'm used to living here since I was a child."
Li Sisi said, "I don't care. I've already discussed it with Nian Nian. We'll move together to the house that Your Majesty has given us. Big brother will live in the general's residence, and she will be the general's wife. You will live in the prime minister's residence, and I'll be the prime minister's wife."
When Xiao Yunchen heard her words, he knew that this matter was not negotiable.
If he doesn't agree, his wife will probably move there by herself, so it's better for me to go with her and see for myself!
"So when are you planning to move?"
"We consulted a fortune teller, and they said there's an auspicious day in a month for moving," Li Sisi said with a smile. "We also went to order custom furniture, and even asked a craftsman to order a set of sofas for each person."
Xiao Yunchen didn't know what a sofa was, and he didn't care whether it was furniture or not.
He didn't want to move, not at all!
But he didn't think it was useless, and a month passed in a flash.
