"Grandma won't agree to that."

Su Jinyue raised her eyes and looked towards the door. "But it doesn't matter if we keep them. I won't be staying in the mansion for long. I don't need to pretend to be nice to them."

The next morning, when Su Jinyue woke up, she saw Xiaotao banging hard on the door outside!

"What happened?" Su Jinyue put on her coat and went out.

"Miss, the door seems to have been locked from the outside!" Xiao Tao pushed the door hard. "This morning, I came in to ask you to have breakfast. I brought water for you to wash up. But after a while, the door couldn't be opened!"

Su Jinyue walked forward and pushed the door outward, but it indeed could not be opened.

"Open the window and ask them to open the door from the outside. There must be something wrong with the door." Su Jinyue said.

"yes!"

Xiaotao hurried to the window next to her and tried to push it open.

But after trying several times, she still couldn't push the window open. She realized something was wrong and turned around in panic, "Miss! The window can't be opened either!"

Su Jinyue frowned, walked over and pushed the window hard!

Sure enough, the window couldn't be opened.

The door couldn't be opened, which could be said to be an accident. The window couldn't be opened either, which was probably not an accident. Su Jinyue's eyes turned cold.

"Miss, I'll go check the other windows!"

Xiao Tao pushed away the confusion around her and came back with a pale face, "Miss, we seem to..."

Su Jinyue sneered, "If they use such tricks, I will wait for them to ask me to leave."

Even though she was locked in the room, Su Jinyue was not in a hurry. After washing up, she ate slowly and was not in a hurry to go out.

Outside Wangyuexuan.

When Lan Shao heard no more noise inside, she asked the servant beside her to go into the yard to check what was going on.

The servant came back quietly, "Sister Lan Shao, there seems to be no movement inside."

Lu Wu looked towards the yard in confusion and lowered her voice to ask, "No movement at all? Didn't they ask us to go in and open the door?"

The servant shook his head and said, "I listened from outside. I opened the door a few times and knocked on the window a few times, but there was no movement from inside."

Lu Wu felt something was wrong, "Nothing will happen, right?"

"What could possibly happen?"

Lan Shao glanced at Lu Wu with disdain, "I just locked her up in the room. Are you afraid that she will hang herself in the room?"

"Besides, it was the eldest and second young masters who gave us the money and asked us to do it. Even if something goes wrong, it won't be blamed on us."

Lu Wu was still a little worried, "But if the young lady asks us to..."

"We were out shopping and cleaning, and we didn't hear her voice at all. We thought she came back from the border and wanted to sleep until noon, so we didn't know the door was locked from the outside."

Lan Shao snorted and said, "Even if I report this matter to the old lady, I am still right. Even if she is the eldest lady, she can't do anything to me!"

Song Yan escorted the carriage to the outside of Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion.

He got off the carriage and went to the gatehouse and knocked on the door of Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion.

The servant yawned, opened the door and came out. Song Yan said, "I am here to take Miss Su into the palace on the orders of General Xiao from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."

Hearing this, the servant immediately put away his lazy expression and said, "I'll report it right away!"

Su Chengjiang and Su Jingnian were practicing martial arts in the front yard. When they saw the servant hurriedly heading towards Wangyuexuan, they stopped him.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

The servant panted twice and stopped, saying, "Someone from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion... said he was here to take the young lady to the palace. I dare not delay..."

When the two brothers heard him say this, they immediately exchanged glances. Su Jingnian said, "You go back first, we will go and call for help."

"Why bother you two young masters? Your servant..."

Su Chengjiang glared and said, "Just go if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much?"

"Yes!" the servant said immediately, "Then I'll have to trouble you two young masters."

After the servant left, Su Chengjiang said, "It seems that it is right to lock her up today. I will ask Zhiyao to come and take her place in the palace."

"Just say that she is unwell and cannot enter the palace, and Zhiyao will receive the reward on her behalf."

Su Jingnian nodded. He also thought so. "Zhiyao is a polite person. She will definitely not make a fool of herself in front of His Majesty. If Su Jinyue is allowed to enter the palace, who knows what kind of trouble she will cause."

"Then I'll go ask Zhiyao to change her clothes and send her out!" After Su Chengjiang said this, he went towards Su Zhiyao's yard.

Su Zhiyao wore a formal palace dress, with hairpins, pearls and jade all over her head. She followed Su Chengjiang out shyly, "Brother, is my sister really feeling unwell? I'd better go see her."

"No need!" Su Chengjiang said, "She is not feeling well and needs to rest. She has to go to the palace to receive the reward. Big brother told you to go in her place."

Knowing full well that Su Jinyue was locked in the yard by the two men, Su Zhiyao pretended to be confused and said, "Then I'll go back and see my sister."

Come to the front yard.

When Su Zhiyao saw Su Jingnian waiting at the gate of the mansion, she ran towards him coquettishly, "Brother!"

Su Jingnian looked at Su Zhiyao and smiled, "Slow down, you're about to get married, why are you still so reckless?"

Su Zhiyao winked at Su Jingnian playfully, "Even if I get married, I will always be your sister."

Several people left the house, and Su Jingnian said, "Hurry up and get in the carriage."

Su Zhiyao, supported by her maid, walked to the steps. Just as she was about to get on the carriage, she was stopped by a hand.

Song Yan stood in front of the carriage, looked at Su Zhiyao and then looked in the direction of Su Jingnian, "My master asked me to pick up Miss Su, not the lady in front of me."

"I will explain this matter to General Xiao."

Su Jingnian said, "Su Jinyue returned to the capital yesterday. She is a little unwell and cannot come to the palace to see Your Majesty today. Zhiyao will go in her place."

Su Zhiyao smiled and looked at Song Yan, "I will explain this matter to the young general after I see him."

After saying that, Su Zhiyao waited for Song Yan to move aside so she could get on the carriage.

Unfortunately, after hearing what they said, Song Yan showed no intention of giving way.

He continued, "My master asked me to come and pick up Miss Su. If I don't see Miss Su today, I won't leave."

"Why are you so rigid!"

Su Chengjiang stepped forward and said, "They are all members of the Su family who receive the reward, so it doesn't matter who goes! We have already told you that it is inconvenient for Su Jinyue to leave the house, why are you being so unreasonable!"

"yes."

Su Jingnian looked at Song Yan's eyes and said coldly, "If you delay the time to enter the palace to see the emperor, neither you nor I can afford it!"

Song Yan's expression did not change. "If you insist on wasting time, then I can also wait here until Miss Su comes out!"
