Su Jinyue nodded, "That's what I thought, but if there is no evidence, this matter must not be spread!"

"Yes." Ruan Liuzheng nodded firmly, "If it was really the Queen who did this, she can stay out of it after reporting it to His Majesty."

The two men looked solemn. They had already figured out some ideas about what was going on, but they still needed to consider carefully how to act.

Su Jinyue said: "I am about to leave the palace. The Queen said that she has prepared a gift for my marriage with General Xiao."

"Maybe this is to shut me up, but it's hard to say. After all, there is no evidence right now."

Ruan Liuzheng looked at the sachet in his hand and whispered, "In that case, I will investigate the matter secretly."

Su Jinyue nodded slightly, "After I leave the palace, Miss Ruan can tell Xiao Duo about this matter. The Queen probably wants me to report this matter to His Majesty."

"I didn't tell anyone. I'm afraid she is looking for an opportunity to go to His Majesty and tell him everything. If that's the case, Miss Ruan will need her help."

Ruan Liuzheng nodded, "Don't worry and leave the palace, nothing will happen."

After she finished speaking, she was silent for a while before saying to Su Jinyue, "You should be careful these few days. If there is a signal from the palace, you should leave the city and hide."

Su Jinyue frowned, "It shouldn't have come to this, right?"

Ruan Liuzheng grabbed Su Jinyue's wrist and said, "Anyway, I don't want anything to happen to you, and Xiao Duo doesn't want anything to happen to you either, so you must listen to me."

After a moment of silence, Su Jinyue nodded, "I understand."

"One more thing." Ruan Liuzheng looked around and said to Su Jinyue, "Qin Qiong has gone back. With him in the mansion, Xiao Duo and I can feel more at ease."

Su Jinyue nodded, indicating that she understood.

Before the palace gates were locked, Su Jinyue left the palace and returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

She was not in the Marquis' Mansion these days, so nothing major happened.

The reason is that her current status is different. She is frequently summoned to the palace, and the people in the Marquis' Mansion no longer dare to look down on her.

In addition, Old Madam Su was seriously ill, so Jiang Caiping and Su Yan were both serving her, and most of the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion were handed over to Su Chengjiang.

When Su Jinyue returned home, it was Su Chengjiang who came out to pick her up.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Su Chengjiang took Su Jinyue directly to her Wangyuexuan.

"Don't you need to greet father and mother?" Su Jinyue said.

Su Chengjiang seemed to have changed a lot. He shook his head calmly, "No need. Father and mother are taking care of grandmother. You just came back from the palace, so you should have a good rest."

"Sister, I have thought about what you said. I am indeed an irresponsible person and a brainless person, but I really want to protect you now."

Now that he said these words, Su Jinyue felt no wavering in her heart. She no longer needed anyone to protect her.

Su Chengjiang said: "My eldest brother came back a few days ago, but I didn't let him into the mansion."

His eyes were cold and indifferent. "Big brother said he wanted some silver, but I said he had severed his relationship with the Marquis' Mansion and didn't give him the silver."

"But we still sent someone to check on his condition."

Su Jinyue then turned to look at Su Chengjiang, "Isn't Su Jingnian capable enough to come back to the Marquis' Mansion to borrow money?"

Su Chengjiang was not surprised. "Zhiyao... Su Zhiyao's expenses were very high after she left the mansion. Big brother's money could not support her at all, and the money he earned was not enough to cover her expenses, so he could only come back to ask for money with such disgrace."

Su Jinyue didn't care about this, but she also thought that this was indeed something Su Zhiyao could do.

As he spoke, Su Chengjiang suddenly laughed, "You are right, Su Zhiyao is indeed scheming. After seeing that my eldest brother was useless, she hooked up with a wealthy family."

What?

Su Jinyue had not expected this. She frowned and asked, "Master? Doesn't Su Jingnian know about this?"

"I'm not sure either. My people saw this. I guess Big Brother... doesn't know about it."

After finishing speaking, Su Chengjiang said: "Let's not talk about this matter anymore. We have nothing to do with Big Brother anymore. Grandmother is seriously ill, so you don't have to worry too much."

Su Jinyue nodded and said nothing more.

Su Chengjiang said a few more words and then left. Su Jinyue sat alone in the room in a daze.

After a long while, I heard some movement at the door.

Su Jinyue looked back and saw Xiaotao coming in.

"Miss, the master wants you to go to the study." Xiao Tao said.

Su Jinyue was slightly startled, and she had already guessed what Su Yan meant by asking her to go to the study. "Got it, I'll be there right away."

Su Jinyue didn't let Xiaotao follow her and went to the study by herself.

When she entered the study, Jiang Caiping was also there.

Su Yan was sitting behind the desk, Jiang Caiping was standing beside him preparing the pen and ink, and when she saw Su Jinyue, she nodded at her.

"Father, Mother."

"Yeah." Su Yan put down the pen in his hand, "You're back?"

"Yes, I just stayed with the little princess for a few days in the palace and then left."

Su Yan frowned, "You still won't tell the truth? Such a big thing happened in the palace, and you won't tell me a word?"

"Princess Xihe of Xijiang has died. If this news spreads back to Xijiang, do you know how much chaos it will cause? The little princess has been poisoned again. You left the palace at this time. Don't you know anything?"

Su Jinyue looked at Su Yan in front of her and felt extremely ironic.

"Father, you were not in the palace when this happened. His Majesty has had the matter sealed off. How did father know about this?"

After she said this, Su Yan's face really showed some subtle changes. He said in a deep voice: "What nonsense are you talking about."

Su Jinyue lowered her eyes slightly, "As for the little princess being poisoned, Princess Xihe is already dead, and someone in the palace will definitely use this to frame her. Father, who do you think will be blamed for this in the end?"

Su Yan was stunned, and Jiang Caiping couldn't help but frowned.

"What do you mean by that?"

Su Jinyue said: "I am just reminding father that the situation in the palace is unstable now. Someone wants to stir up disputes between Xijiang and Dazhou. Father has been an official in the court for many years, so he should know who is behind this!"

"Father, I just returned to the Marquis' Mansion and I don't want the Mansion to be involved in these things."

After saying that, Su Jinyue bowed to the two of them and said, "My daughter will take her leave."

"Stop right there!" Su Yan stood up at this time, walked around the table and came to Su Jinyue.

He pointed at Su Jinyue and said, "Don't think that just because you have been conferred the title of Princess by the Emperor, you can look down on your father!"
