Su Xuening was instantly shocked: "You didn't take any medication? Then how did Su Linyuan die?"
Mo Qi sighed softly and whispered, "Young Master was beaten to death by those soldiers. They would beat and kick him every day. He was already injured before, how could he endure such torment? He died not long after being exiled."
He did want to drug the young master, but seeing how he was whipped every day, he knew he wouldn't live long, so he didn't do it.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before the young master was tortured to death by them.
Su Xuening remained silent.
Counting the days, Su Linyuan had only been in exile for less than two months, but he had been dead for half a month. He was only in exile for a month before he was gone.
But why are these soldiers so fierce? Logically speaking, with Su Huiyan around and Su Renyi having given instructions beforehand, they shouldn't be tormenting Su Linyuan like this!
Su Xuening couldn't understand who else, besides her, wanted Su Linyuan dead.
Mo Qi thought of something and whispered to Su Xuening, "I secretly asked those soldiers before, and they said that a noble person above ordered that the young master not be allowed to go to the place of exile alive."
When Mo Qi mentioned the benefactor, she stole a glance at Xuan Yuanzhan.
After all, apart from the Holy King, he couldn't think of anyone else who would want to kill their young master.
Su Xuening also looked at Xuan Yuanzhan in surprise.
Is it Xuanyuan Zhan?
But when Su Linyuan was exiled, he was still unconscious, right? They weren't married yet, so how could it be him?
Faced with their suspicious gazes, Xuan Yuanzhan did not deny it: "Who told him to try to humiliate you? It's too good for him if he doesn't die!"
He was unconscious before, so he didn't know about these things.
If he had been awake then, he certainly wouldn't have let him be exiled so easily!
Su Xuening was stunned; she hadn't expected it to really be Xuan Yuanzhan.
I guess they heard about it later and had it done.
Regardless of the circumstances, Su Linyuan's death is a good thing for her.
Su Xuening looked at Mo Qi and said, "I have something else I need you to do."
"I will obey your orders, Miss." Mo Qi immediately kowtowed to Su Xuening.
On his way back, Moqi heard a lot about the Yong'an Marquis's mansion.
I heard that the eldest young lady has taken back the General's Mansion, while the second branch of the Su family has been granted the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion.
Now it's even worse. I heard that the Yong'an Marquis's mansion has been raided and the Marquis has been beheaded. Now the second branch of the Su family is completely destroyed.
It's likely that the second wife's current predicament is entirely the eldest daughter's doing.
Now that the young master is dead, and the young lady is so noble and powerful, if he can follow her in the future, it will be a good alternative for him.
"Take Su Linyuan's body to the Zhong family." Su Xuening narrowed her eyes menacingly.
In her past life, the second branch of the Su family caused the eldest branch to be destroyed and their family to die. In this life, she will make the Zhong family taste the bitterness of being destroyed and their family to die!
“Okay.” Mo Qi immediately agreed, but then frowned and said, “I heard that the Yong’an Marquis’s mansion was raided and confiscated. This servant does not know where Madam is living now.”
Su Xuening gave a cold smile: "Today is the seventh day after Su Renyi's death. The Zhong family should be visiting Su Renyi's grave right now."
Su Xuening called out to the outside, "Uncle Ping."
Outside, Uncle Ping heard Su Xuening call her and immediately pushed open the door to come in: "Miss."
Su Xuening looked at Uncle Ping and asked, "Do you know where Su Renyi is buried?"
Su Renyi was a criminal who was publicly beheaded and was not qualified to be buried in the Su family ancestral cemetery, so she really didn't know where Su Renyi was buried now.
Uncle Ping bowed and replied, "It's in the eastern suburbs. Ding Shan collected his body before, and today seems to be the seventh day after his death."
Uncle Ping looked puzzled. Was Miss going to go and pay respects to Su Renyi?
Su Xuening immediately raised her chin to Uncle Ping: "Uncle Ping, please take Moqi there."
"Yes." Uncle Ping thought of Su Linyuan's corpse outside.
Today is the seventh day after Su Renyi's death. The Second Madam and the others should go to visit Su Renyi's grave.
So, Miss is going to send Su Linyuan's body to the Second Madam and the others, right?
Mo Qi looked at Su Xuening, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
Su Xuening seemed to know what he wanted to say: "Are you worried about your indenture? Don't worry, this time the Yong'an Marquis's mansion was raided, and all the servants' indentures are in the government office. I'll have someone go and get your indenture back in a bit."
"Thank you so much, Miss!" Mo Qi immediately kowtowed to Su Xuening excitedly.
Throughout the journey, his biggest worry was his indenture.
Although he didn't actually drug the young master, the second madam was never one to reason, and she might blame him for the young master's death. His indenture was with the madam, so he feared he would suffer a terrible fate himself.
Now that the indenture is in the young lady's hands, what does he have to fear?
"This servant will take the young master to the second madam immediately."
Su Xuening was satisfied: "After you're done, come find me at the Holy King's Mansion."
"yes."
Mo Qi responded, kowtowed to Su Xuening and Xuan Yuanzhan, and then followed Uncle Ping.
After Mo Qi left, Su Xuening looked at Xuan Yuanzhan and asked, "Did you really have Su Linyuan killed?"
“Letting that beast be exiled is too good for him.” Xuan Yuanzhan didn’t say much more on the topic, but took Su Xuening’s hand and said, “If you ever want someone’s life, just tell me, and I’ll do the dirty work.”
His warm words brought tears to Su Xuening's eyes.
From her past life to this one, she has always done everything on her own. Now, she has finally met someone who can shelter her from the storm.
"Let's go back to find Mother."
Su Xuening took Xuan Yuanzhan's hand and went out.
The two boarded the carriage together and headed towards the Holy King's Palace.
Mo Qi followed Uncle Ping to the eastern suburbs of Kyoto, where she indeed saw Zhong Shi and Su Muyao.
"Madam." Upon seeing Madam Zhong, Moqi immediately dragged the cart forward.
At first, Madam Zhong didn't recognize Moqi. It wasn't until Moqi got closer that she saw him clearly. She was immediately shocked and widened her eyes, saying in a hoarse voice, "Why are you back? Didn't I tell you to go with the young master and serve him?"
Because she had cried so much these past two days, Zhong's voice was hoarse and barely audible.
“Madam, the young master…” Mo Qi said, kneeling down before Madam Zhong without even putting down the tow rope, and cried out, “He… is gone!”
"What did you say!" Madam Zhong's mind went blank for a moment, she could hardly believe her ears, she grabbed Moqi and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, how could the young master go! Are you lying to me?"
"This servant wouldn't dare, young master really went!" Mo Qi immediately cried out his innocence, glancing tremblingly at the trailer behind him.
Zhong seemed to understand something instantly, and looked at the trailer that Mo Qi was carrying.
Stiff and unsteady, she walked to the trailer and, with trembling hands, suddenly ripped open the roll of straw mat. When she saw the corpse underneath, already decomposed beyond recognition, Zhong could no longer stand. Her vision went black, and she fainted!
