As night fell, the back garden of the Jiang residence was wrapped in a layer of silver gauze, and the thin moonlight made the scenery in the garden appear dimly.
Su Zhiyao and Zhao Lan were in the room. "Sister-in-law, do as I say in a moment. Don't let her get the upper hand."
Su Zhiyao admonished Zhao Lan with a calculating cold light in her eyes. She knew very well that this matter was extremely risky.
But with Zhao Lan around, she can take the blame if anything goes wrong. Su Jinyue is definitely going to be in trouble for this!
Although Zhao Lan was nervous, she believed Su Zhiyao's words and nodded involuntarily, "I understand. If this really happens, can you guarantee that Chongtian can really make me his wife?"
Su Zhiyao touched Zhao Lan's belly and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. Even if your baby is not a boy, I have a way to make it a boy."
"What's more, sister-in-law, you have also seen the attitude of the Jiang family towards Su Jinyue."
"Although my mother, father, and brother in the Marquis' Mansion treat me better than her, there is no guarantee that she will not use some means to deal with me. If I am gone, it will be difficult for my sister to do anything, right?"
Zhao Lan was thoughtful. She knew Su Zhiyao's status in the Marquis' Mansion.
She had asked Su Zhiyao for help many times before, and the two of them had long been in the same boat.
"Yes." Zhao Lan said, "You are right. You and I must not be soft-hearted."
In the middle of the night, a bunch of fireworks streaked across the night sky, brilliant but short-lived. It was the promised signal Qin Qiong gave to Su Jinyue.
Su Jinyue waited for a while in the courtyard of the back garden, and Qin Qiong walked in dressed in black.
He looked particularly aloof in the moonlight. When he saw Su Jinyue, he nodded slightly, "Miss Su, you are very trustworthy."
Su Jinyue looked at him from the side, half of her face sunk in the shadow, "You are also very capable, you can come and go freely in the Jiang Mansion."
"I have everything ready."
As he was talking, Qin Qiong came into the pavilion and asked, "What about what you promised me?"
"I have persuaded Xiao Duo to temporarily withdraw the wanted warrant for you, but you must fulfill your promise and tell me everything about the case in the capital." Su Jinyue made the request directly.
Qin Qiong took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to Su Jinyue, "It contains the information you want, as well as some people I suspect."
After receiving the letter, Su Jinyue also handed him something, "This is your new identity. From now on, your name will no longer be Qin Qiong."
"Thank you, Miss Su, for thinking so carefully for me."
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! It's over there! It seems like a thief has entered the mansion!"
"It's just over here in the garden! Hurry!"
Many torches were lit not far away in the garden, and the noisy sounds were coming towards the back garden.
Qin Qiong's eyes turned cold, he looked at Su Jinyue and said: "You want to arrest me?!"
"If I want to catch you, there's no need to go through all the trouble of finding a new identity for you!"
Su Jinyue said: "You go first, I can handle it here!"
Qin Qiong did not hesitate. He turned around and jumped onto the courtyard wall, his black clothes disappearing into the night.
Just as Su Jinyue was about to leave, a familiar voice rang out, "Cousin, what are you doing here?"
It was Zhao Lan. She appeared in front of her with a few servants, with a smug look on her face!
Behind her were the Jiang residence’s steward and several soldiers!
The torches lit up the backyard, and Zhao Lan walked in front. "A thief just came in here, is Miss Cousin okay?"
"Thieves?" Su Jinyue looked around in confusion, "I'm the only one here, where did the thieves come from?"
Su Zhiyao looked at Su Jinyue innocently, "Some people saw a thief breaking into the back garden, and my sister-in-law reported it to the authorities, so she brought people to the back garden in a hurry."
"Sister was in the back garden, didn't she see the thief?"
Su Jinyue said calmly, "I haven't seen it."
"That's strange. How come the thief disappeared without a trace after he clearly broke into the Jiang Mansion?" Su Zhiyao asked puzzledly.
Zhao Lan looked at Su Jinyue from the side and asked, "Why is Miss cousin alone in the back garden at this time of night?"
"The moonlight is just right today, and I can't sleep, so I came to take a walk in the back garden." Su Jinyue said.
"What a coincidence! A thief broke into the Jiang family, and my cousin happened to be admiring the moon in the back garden?"
Su Jinyue laughed sarcastically, "Why? Am I breaking the law by admiring the moon in my grandmother's back garden?"
"Miss, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant!" Zhao Lan said hurriedly, "I just saw you alone in the back garden and was worried about your safety!"
"I really didn't see any thieves. Why don't we let the butler lead you to search the place thoroughly? Who knows, the thieves might be hiding in some corner."
Su Jinyue said to the housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion: "After all, it is better to believe it than not to believe it. It is also for the safety of the Jiang Mansion."
The housekeeper was a little embarrassed, but after all, the government officials were there, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "Then I'll trouble you all to search thoroughly and ensure the safety of the mansion."
The crowd dispersed to look for the so-called thief.
Su Jinyue walked towards Zhao Lan and lowered her voice, "Aunt Zhao, you seem to be very concerned about whether I have encountered thieves. Could it be that you already know something in advance?"
Zhao Lan's face froze, and she tried to cover up in panic, "No, I'm just worried about you! Cousin, how could you miss me like this!"
"Worried about me?"
Su Jinyue chuckled, "Then I am really grateful, but Aunt Zhao is pregnant now, so you should take care of your own safety."
After saying that, she glanced at Su Zhiyao's face, turned around and left the back garden.
Zhao Lan was left with a livid face, her hands tightly grasping the corner of her clothes, cursing in her heart!
After Su Zhiyao saw Su Jinyue leave, she came up to Zhao Lan and said, "Sister-in-law, it seems that we have worked in vain tonight."
"If we let her run away, it will be hard to catch her next time!"
Just when everyone was about to give up after searching in vain, a servant came hurriedly from the other side of the garden and reported loudly: "Report, someone was found climbing over the wall out of the back door, and it looks like a man!"
"What!" Upon hearing this, the housekeeper and the soldiers immediately led their men to chase after him through the back door!
Su Zhiyao and Zhao Lan looked at each other, and hurried after him.
Su Jinyue heard the noisy sound behind her, but she didn't stop walking, and she sneered in her heart.
As the night deepened, the Jiang residence was shrouded in an atmosphere of unease.
The so-called man was never caught.
Zhao Lan was also taken back by Jiang Chongtian, who ordered her to have a good rest and not to lead anyone to do such dangerous things again.
Su Jinyue's yard was brightly lit. She sat at the desk, playing with the secret letter she got from Qin Qiong in her hand, thinking about what to do next.
Just at this moment, there was a slight noise outside the door!
Su Jinyue stood up alertly, walked slowly to the door, opened it, and unexpectedly found that it was Su Zhiyao standing outside.
"Why do you come to my yard at this time?" Su Jinyue looked at her coldly.
