"That's right!" Tu Subo nodded, with a helpless smile on his face, "I was forced to marry the daughter of the Duanmu family. However... However..."

Tu Subo's words stopped abruptly.

While Sheng Yunrong was confused, Pei Jinxiao betrayed his brother without hesitation in order to talk to Sheng Yunrong more.

"At the polo event a dozen days ago, he lost control of himself after drinking and spent the night with Duanmu Xun, the second daughter of the Duanmu family.

The Duanmu family came with Duanmu Xun.

Master Tu Su and his wife insisted that he marry Duanmu Xun.

However, he insisted that he and Duanmu Xun had no real relationship that day and refused to accept the marriage. "

However, because of this turmoil, Duanmu Xun, the second daughter of the Duanmu family, was forced to stay at home and unable to show her face in public. In desperation, she committed suicide.

The Duanmu family forced him to marry her.

He had no choice but to avoid visitors and close the door every day, pretending to be seriously ill and on the verge of death.

Tu Subo was dumbfounded: "You...you..."

Pei Jinxiao's transformation was too rapid!

In the past, he was even unwilling to talk to others, and he was as cold as a piece of ice.

But now...

She actually betrayed him just to chat with Sheng Yunrong?

Pei Jinxiao glanced at him with disdain.

That look made Tu Subo swallow the curse that was about to come out of his mouth, and he could only sigh helplessly and fall on the bed in frustration: "Indeed, this is the situation.

The Duanmu family now sends people to monitor me every day, in order to verify whether I am really terminally ill!

If I show any signs of good spirit, they will immediately send someone to force me to marry Duanmu Xun.

But I swear to God! I really had nothing to do with her that day!

Although I get drunk easily, I am not so drunk that I forget everything I have done!

And you all know what kind of person I am!

Although I, Pei Jinxiao, love to have fun and do not care about details, I always treat women with sincerity!

There is no way I would do something so frivolous!"

Tu Subo's face was full of grievance and unwillingness.

It is true that although Tu Subo acted unrestrainedly, everyone in the capital knew that he was a kind-hearted person.

Otherwise, his reputation in the capital would have been ruined long ago, and it would have been impossible for him to still enjoy such a high reputation today.

Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly: "I believe you."

Tu Subo nodded excitedly, his eyes full of gratitude.

Pei Jinxiao glanced at him coldly.

Tu Subo couldn't help but shrink his neck, and quickly laughed twice and said, "Miss Sheng, with your wisdom and insight, what do you think is the truth of this matter?"

Sheng Yunrong knew very well that the Empress and the Emperor had personally attended the wedding of Qin Wenyuan and Ling Meng, and this action was enough to make people notice that something was amiss.

In addition, the Qin family's rapid and tragic decline in more than a month will inevitably attract the attention of those who are interested.

Not to mention that Pei Jinxiao often goes in and out of the palace, and the Queen and the Emperor will definitely reveal some secrets to him.

As the news spread, it was impossible for Tu Subo, Pei Jinxiao's close friend, to be completely unaware of what had happened to the Qin family. She must have been involved in all the tricks behind it.

Given Tu Subo's background, it would be impossible for him to ask such abrupt questions to a divorced woman without any reason.

"I think that to really find out what happened that day, we have to ask the woman from the Duanmu family for confirmation."

The Duanmu family did not enjoy a prominent position in the court.

The family background is ordinary, just an ordinary and unknown family.

And the Duanmu Xun they were talking about... was like a being invisible to people's sight, and almost no one noticed her.

In my memory, Duanmu Xun was a very shy and taciturn woman.

If what she said that day was true, the only explanation was that she had cleverly disguised herself as a young girl for the past decade.

"Oh!" Tu Subo couldn't help but sigh repeatedly when talking about this matter, "It's really a headache! I explained to my parents that there is no connection between her and me, and I came out to clarify.

Unfortunately, she was firmly restrained by her parents and could only stand there in a daze, refusing to speak.

There was a gleam of fluctuation in Sheng Yunrong's eyes.

It seems that the mystery here is probably even more complicated.

Looking at her son's figure beside her, Sheng Yunrong raised her eyelids and said softly, "If Master Tu Su needs anything, I am willing to lend a hand and go to the Duanmu family to find out."

"What?!" Tu Subo jumped up in surprise, "This is great! I'm almost getting moldy lying in bed!"

Tu Subo seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

But just as he was about to speak, he was met with Pei Jinxiao's icy gaze.

Sheng Yunrong knew very well that she should remain silent and not get involved in the dispute.

But Tu Subo is Prince Jing's confidant after all.

Her son is Prince Jing's favorite student.

She helped Tu Subo not for any other purpose.

But for her son.

Furthermore, if this matter really involves the Tu Su family, a prestigious family in Beijing, if something goes wrong, Prince Jing will be the only one implicated.

I’m afraid… the safety of the entire capital city will be threatened.

Sheng Yunrong made up her mind: "Master Tu Su, you don't have to worry. I will definitely conduct a thorough investigation and return after finding out the truth."

Tu Subo didn't dare to agree easily, so he could only turn his gaze to Pei Jinxiao.

Pei Jinxiao said calmly: "I'll go with you."

Sheng Yunrong pondered for a moment and said, "My Lord, your status is too prominent. If you visit casually, it may arouse the Duanmu family's vigilance. It will be difficult to find out the truth."

Pei Jinxiao pursed his lips tightly, not expecting that every move he made would be cleverly rejected by Sheng Yunrong.

Tu Subo coughed twice and said sincerely: "Thank you Miss Sheng for your generous help!"

Sheng Yunrong gazed at Qin Moyuan tenderly and gently stroked his head: "I should be grateful to the prince and Master Tu Su."

She was well aware of their love and protection for Mo Yuan.

And...she didn't accept this task out of blind impulse.

Qin Wenyuan and Old Madam Qin don't know yet that the current turmoil in the Qin family is all her intentional.

She... took advantage of this opportunity to make them realize the severity of reality.

Let them fall flat on their face with great pain.

Night falls.

Sheng Yunrong returned to the Sheng family residence.

In the room, Sheng Hongye and Sheng Hongxiao, both of whom had anger written all over their faces, were sitting in the middle.

Sheng Yunrong's smile froze slightly, realizing that she could not escape the blame this time.

She smiled awkwardly: "Big brother, second brother..."

Sheng Hongxiao glanced at Xiang Zhu.

Xiang Zhu immediately understood what he meant, bowed and left the room.

The door slammed shut and Sheng Yunrong swallowed nervously. She didn't expect that at the age of 27, she would still have to be taught a lesson by her brothers.

"Yunrong." Sheng Hongye was the first to lose control. "What did you promise us? You promised not to wander around casually, and not to get involved in other people's disputes easily. But today you left without permission, leaving only a note? If something happens to you, how can we explain to our parents?"

Sheng Yunrong scratched her hair awkwardly, as helpless as a child who had done something wrong: "Brother, I...I didn't do it on purpose. It's just that it happened too suddenly..."
