"Miss, please don't say that. After all, the eldest young master is your brother. If you go and comfort him, maybe he will be able to figure it out." Nanny Song persuaded anxiously, obviously hoping that Su Jinyue could go over and take a look.

Xiao Tao beside her also looked worried, "Miss, you'd better not go. If the young master gets angry, I'm afraid something will happen to you."

Su Jinyue hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "I'll go there, Xiaotao, you stay in the yard."

Seeing this, Nanny Song breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly led the way.

Along the way, Su Jinyue's mind was racing. She knew that Su Jingnian was so radical now, and he might have ulterior motives.

Soon, several people came outside the ancestral hall and saw Su Jingnian sitting on the ground with gauze wrapped around his wrist. His face was pale and he looked haggard.

Several servants stood around, at a loss as to what to do.

Seeing Su Jinyue coming, a murderous look flashed across Su Jingnian's eyes.

He stared at Su Jinyue, as if waiting for her to speak.

Su Jinyue looked at him calmly, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Su Jingnian gritted his teeth and looked at Su Jinyue, "Su Jinyue! You are so capable! Now you are trying to coax your mother into believing only in you! If I had known this would happen, I should have listened to Zhiyao and killed you earlier!"

Su Jinyue frowned slightly. She was not angered by Su Jingnian's words. Instead, she said calmly, "Brother, are you trying to gain sympathy by acting like this? If you really feel that your life is not going as you wish, why bother wasting your time here?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the servants who were watching the fun began to whisper.

"I think what the young lady said makes sense. Isn't the young master just looking for trouble?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you."

Su Jingnian's expression became increasingly ugly. He said coldly, "Su Jinyue, don't even think that you can make me give in like this! I'm telling you, I will definitely take back everything that belongs to me!"

"Really?" Su Jinyue chuckled. "So what are you going to do, brother? Cut your wrists and commit suicide, or try to beg for some mercy?"

Su Jingnian was choked by her words, his face turned pale and blue, as if he had been touched in a sore spot.

Su Jinyue continued, "Brother is not a woman, why are you crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang yourself?"

"Mother won't come today. Does Big Brother intend to die or not?"

"You..." He was so angry that he couldn't speak, and the wound on his hand began to bleed again!

Su Jingnian finally suppressed his anger and snorted coldly, "Do you think you can scare me like this? Even if mother didn't come today, you can't make me surrender."

Su Jinyue shook her head helplessly, "Brother, this won't do you any good."

"You have your plans, and the Marquis' Mansion cannot be in trouble because of you. But to be honest, if you insist on continuing this stupid trick, don't blame me for being rude."

Hearing these words, the servants around began to whisper even more.

"The eldest lady is really amazing. Even the eldest young master can't do anything to her."

"That's right! Who could have thought that the young lady would be able to handle the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion in such an orderly manner?"

Some people even began to admire Su Jinyue, while more people were disappointed with Su Jingnian.

At this moment, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door, and a guard rushed in with a nervous look, "Miss, this is bad! They said someone came to visit the young master, but they have bad intentions and want to bring people to break into our mansion!"

Su Jinyue frowned slightly, and suddenly became alert, "Who is it?"

The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "It's Master Zhao Qifeng."

Su Jinyue sneered, "Sure enough, he's here after all."

This man had been an accomplice to evil in the court in his previous life, and her elder brother, who was not very smart, became his scapegoat.

However, Su Jinyue did not intend to save Su Jingnian, but she could not let Zhao Qifeng get involved in the Marquis' Mansion at this time.

Although Su Jingnian's face was pale, he showed a smug look when he heard that Zhao Qifeng had arrived. "Let me go out to see him now! Otherwise, I will tell him that you won't let me leave the mansion!"

Su Jinyue looked at the guard and said, "Hold them steady first, I'll be there right away."

After the guard hurriedly left, Su Jinyue looked at Su Jingnian and said, "Don't think about it. Mother said that you can only reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors during this period of time."

Su Jinyue raised her eyes and looked at the maids and servants around her, "Keep a good eye on the young master. If he escapes and gets hurt again, the Marquis' Mansion will hold you responsible!"

"Yes, Miss!"

She walked out of the ancestral hall calmly, but she was already thinking about how to deal with this sudden change.

Outside the Marquis's Mansion, a group of gorgeously dressed guards were surrounding a tall man with a mean-looking face.

The onlookers were talking about it.

"Isn't this Lord Zhao, the famous and powerful man in the court? Why is he here in the Marquis' Mansion?"

"I heard that he has always been friends with the young master of the Marquis' Mansion. Why is he trying to break into the Marquis' Mansion now?"

"Hey, it's hard to say. The Marquis' Mansion has been in turmoil recently. Let's not join in the fun. Let's go quickly."

Su Jinyue walked out of the crowd and bowed, "I didn't know Lord Zhao was coming. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you."

Lord Zhao glanced at Su Jinyue, his lips slightly raised, as if he didn't take her seriously, "Miss Su, there's no need to be polite. I came here today just to see Jingnian. The servants in your mansion are so rude that they don't even let me see him."

Su Jinyue smiled slightly, still maintaining her courtesy, "Don't blame me, Lord Zhao. Before my mother left, she specifically asked me to take good care of my elder brother. After all, my elder brother's mood has been unstable in the past few days. Please forgive me, Lord."

Zhao Qifeng snorted coldly, with a flash of disdain in his eyes, "That sounds nice, but is there really some hidden secret in this mansion?"

Although his words were full of thorns, Su Jinyue remained calm, "Your Excellency is overthinking. My elder brother was injured while practicing martial arts, so I let him rest in the mansion for the time being. I believe that your Excellency is also a person who understands the greater good and will naturally understand."

Zhao Qifeng felt a little embarrassed and angry, his voice became cold, "Miss Su is really sharp-tongued. You may not be able to get away with this even if you bring it to the court."

Su Jinyue put away her smile and said in a serious tone, "Lord Zhao, you are an official appointed by the court, so it is important for you to protect your reputation. If the matter gets out of hand, it will not only be a matter of the Marquis' Mansion, but will also involve many people. How about we both take a step back and stop what we are doing today?"

Zhao Qifeng obviously didn't buy it, but he also knew in his heart that there was really no suitable excuse to continue pestering her, so he could only say coldly: "Miss Su is smart. I won't bother with you this time. Just let me go in and see Jason, and we'll let it go."

Su Jinyue stood at the door, not giving Zhao Qifeng the chance to enter the mansion. "Master Zhao, I think I have made it very clear that my brother is recuperating in the mansion and it is not convenient for him to see you. Please forgive me, Master Zhao."
