"Miss, do you believe what she said?" Zi Shu asked, staring at Lü Lian's retreating figure.
Su Feiling looked away: "She has no reason to lie to me."
Zi Shu frowned, puzzled, and said, "But why didn't Miss take her to see the Emperor or Consort Su? She could prove that it wasn't Sister Bai Qin who bought the tung oil, and then Sister Bai Qin could be saved."
Su Feiling looked at Zi Shu as if she were an idiot: "Do you think she would risk her life to save Bai Qin?"
Who knows what Green Lotus will say when she gets to the Emperor? And if the truth about buying tung oil is revealed, then her use of the Drunken Albizia to harm Su Xuening will also be exposed, which will not do her any good!
It's very likely that, just as Su Xuening said, Su Linyuan and Bai Qin won't be saved, but she herself will be dragged down with them! How could she do something so stupid?
Looking at Su Feiling's cold-blooded and ruthless nature, Zi Shu felt a pang of sadness.
Miss clearly had a way to save Sister Baiqin, but she still chose to sacrifice Sister Baiqin. Perhaps in Miss's heart, the lives of these servants are not even worth mentioning.
Su Feiling frowned and glanced at Zishu, who then changed the subject somewhat guiltily, asking, "Miss, what brand is the Marquis looking for?"
Su Feiling glared at Zi Shu, and Zi Shu immediately dared not say another word.
The design his father drew was clearly that of a military tally. The only military tally that could be found with Su Xuening was the Su family's tally.
But my father clearly had a military tally of the Su family, and it was because of this tally that the emperor allowed my father to inherit my uncle's title of Marquis of Yong'an.
Now, the father has sent Green Lotus to Su Xuening to find the military tally, which means that the military tally in the father's possession is fake.
If the Emperor finds out about this, my father won't even be able to keep his title of Marquis of Yong'an. However, it's unlikely that the Su family's military tally is in Su Xuening's hands, since Su Xuening is a woman and cannot possibly possess such a tally.
My father is desperate and will try anything!
Thinking of the Su family's military seal, Su Feiling thought of the Mu family who had suddenly disappeared.
She didn't understand before, but now she understands. The disappearance of the Mu family is probably related to the Su family's military token, and only her aunt could have made the Mu family disappear so secretly.
I wonder what Su Xuening would do if she knew that the Mu family was in her aunt's hands!
Su Feiling sneered and then took Zishu back to Yanfei Garden.
As soon as Green Lotus returned to Jingxue Pavilion, she went to find Su Xuening.
Su Xuening was listening to Bihe talk about Moqi.
"Second Master and Second Madam have temporarily trusted Moqi, and Moqi is going to accompany the Eldest Young Master to exile." Miss had been asking her to keep an eye on Moqi's affairs, so as soon as Moqi returned, she went to see her.
Things went exactly as Su Xuening had predicted: "Now we can give him the silver, a hundred taels, and tell him that I will reward him handsomely when he returns with the mission."
"Yes." Bihe bowed and replied, inwardly admiring Su Xuening immensely.
Miss is amazing! She foresaw everything!
"Miss."
Green Lotus's voice suddenly came from outside, interrupting their conversation.
"Come in."
Green Lotus pushed open the door and entered the room.
"It's so late, you must be very busy!" Bihe mocked Lülian with disdain.
Green Lotus ignored Green Lotus and knelt directly in front of Su Xuening: "Miss, the Marquis just summoned me to Ya Lan Garden."
"What do you want?" Su Xuening was not surprised at all.
"The Marquis asked if I had seen such a small sign here with Miss." Green Lotus presented the drawing directly.
Almost as soon as Green Lotus said those words, Su Xuening knew what she was talking about.
Su Xuening took the diagram and glanced at it; it was indeed the shape of a military tally.
In her previous life, she had never seen what the Su family military tally looked like. She always thought that the Su family military tally was in Su Renyi's hands. It wasn't until later, when she was placed under house arrest and Su Feiling frequently interrogated her about the Su family military tally, that she learned that the Su family military tally in the hands of Su Renyi and Su Fei was fake, and that they had been searching for the real Su family military tally.
But the Su family military tally wasn't with her either, so to whom did her father entrust the Su family military tally before he died?
Su Xuening memorized the appearance of the military tally, then placed the image on the candlestick and burned it: "Did Su Renyi send you here to find this tally?"
"Yes." Green Lotus dared not hide anything and honestly replied, "The Marquis asked me to find the small tag on the pattern here with Miss, and said that after I found it, I should give it to him."
As Green Lotus spoke, she glanced at Su Xuening, then hesitated before saying, "When I left Yalan Garden, I ran into the Second Miss. She knew that it was me who bought the tung oil."
"She threatened you." This is not a question, but a very simple statement of fact.
Green Lotus stared at Su Xuening in shock, her expression one of utter disbelief.
Su Xuening tossed the paper, which was almost burning between her fingers, into the candlestick and said calmly, "Don't be so surprised. With Su Feiling's brains, she wouldn't be stupid enough to report you. It would be useless to report you and would only implicate herself. I doubt she would even tell the Zhong family. Since she told you, it must be to threaten you."
If these things are told to the Zhong family, they will definitely still think about saving Su Linyuan. In that case, Su Feiling will be the one implicated, and Su Feiling will not do such a stupid thing.
"Miss, you are so clever." Green Lotus was completely convinced.
Miss is so intelligent and can think of everything; how could the Second Miss possibly outdo her?
"The second young lady threatened me, forcing me to retrieve something from you."
Su Xuening became somewhat interested: "Get something from me?"
One by one, they all want to come to her to take things. What, is her some kind of treasure trove?
"The second young lady wants a personal item that you can immediately recognize as yours, something you don't use often, something you wouldn't notice if you were missing one," Green Lotus said in great detail, trying to reproduce Su Feiling's original words as accurately as possible.
Hearing Su Feiling's strange request, Bihe worriedly said, "Second Miss, you wouldn't be trying to use Miss's things to smear her reputation again, would you?"
For example, taking a prostitute's personal belongings and placing them in another man's room to slander her.
Su Xuening didn't think Su Feiling would do something so stupid.
She had her body examined in public, and now everyone in the capital knows she is a virgin. If she were to use such despicable means to tarnish her purity, she would be courting death, since she is now the Holy Princess Consort appointed by the Emperor.
Su Feiling wanted to take her personal belongings, and she did think of one possibility.
If this is really what Su Feiling wants to do, then she would be happy to grant her wish!
Thinking about it, Su Xuening got up and walked to the dressing table. She took out her jewelry box and took out a blood jade hairpin carved with red plum blossoms from the bottom of the box. She gave it to Lülian: "Give this to Su Feiling when she leaves the mansion tomorrow."
