Zhou Li, standing to the side, also curled his lip and chimed in, "That's right, I have to say you're still as domineering as ever. What's the point of poisoning him after he's made us suffer?"
Listening to the discussion, Jian Yi silently glanced at his own lord.
As instructed by the prince, He Cheng was just released to tear apart Ni Dagui, letting them fight like dogs and become one family.
This is much more satisfying than simply killing someone.
However, since the prince wanted to keep it a secret, Jian Yi could only secretly rejoice.
At this moment, Fu Zhun took a sip of tea before slowly speaking: "No rush, they have committed many evils, they will get their retribution."
"Oh??" Su An raised an eyebrow in suspicion, but saw that Fu Zhun's expression was calm and unfathomable.
She was immediately at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"I never expected that you, God of Wealth, would actually believe in karma."
If there were any retribution, the grass on those scumbags' graves would be two meters high by now!
Zhou Li and Xie Qingfeng quickly exchanged glances, simultaneously sensing something amiss—
This means that the prince has made a move!
"Forget it, it's a perfectly good dinner time, I don't want to think about these unlucky things."
Su An glanced at the completely devoured food, smiled, and took out two bowls of osmanthus cake from the food box.
"Here, this is freshly made osmanthus cake, it's still warm, we'll order it tonight."
Zhou Li and Xie Qingfeng stared intently at him for a moment.
The pale yellow osmanthus cake is smooth and translucent, looking as beautiful as amber, and exudes a faint, fragrant aroma that is very pleasant.
"Wonderful! I absolutely adore you, little boss!"
Zhou Li, quick as a flash, snatched the plate of osmanthus cakes and stuffed them into his mouth while shouting incoherently.
"Have some decency!" Fu Zhun immediately snapped, his eyes flashing with displeasure, and grabbed the other plate.
Xie Qingfeng's previously itching hand immediately became sensible, and he lunged at Zhou Li to grab some, shouting, "Did you hear that? Shameless! Leave some for me!"
"Pfft." Su An's eyes crinkled with laughter. Having such a lively child at home really lifted her spirits!
However, with the stars twinkling, it was getting late.
She picked up the food box, stood up, and said, "Now that I'm full, I'll take my leave."
Fu Zhun's eyes flickered slightly as he turned his wheelchair around. "I'll take you."
A chilly autumn wind blew by, and Su An couldn't help but rub her arms. "No need, no need. This late summer heat came quickly, and it's suddenly cold. I'll just run back to warm myself up."
As she spoke, she noticed that Fu Zhun was only wearing thin clothes, and she raised her eyebrows in disapproval.
"Don't underestimate the late summer heat; dress warmly and make sure you stay cozy!"
Fu Zhun glanced at the thin, gossamer-thin brocade robe he was wearing. He hadn't felt anything at first, but seeing the worry in Su An's eyes, he suddenly realized that he was indeed cold.
She smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll wear more clothes as you say."
The man's deep, mellow, and slightly amused voice entered her ears, making Su An ticklish and her heart inexplicably race.
Honestly, what do you mean by "according to her"?
Do I have to listen to her before I wear more clothes?
Su An blushed and quickly turned to leave, but on her way home, she unconsciously slowed down.
The ambiguous words from before still echoed in her mind, along with the man's incomparably handsome smile.
"Beauty can be a trap, a trap indeed!"
"I can't think about it anymore!"
Su An patted her cheeks. She was almost at her doorstep and was about to hurry inside.
But then, a resentful voice suddenly rang out from the dark alley next door.
"Su An, I've finally been waiting for you!"
"Who?!" The voice, both strange and familiar, was filled with venom. Su An didn't recognize it at first and immediately retreated warily.
Unexpectedly, the figure darted out of the alley and grabbed her wrist tightly.
"What a shameless slut! She came back from being all lovey-dovey with her lover and didn't even remember me!"
The cool moonlight shone down, illuminating He Cheng's slightly distorted face, filled with hatred.
"You? It's you again, you dog!"
Su An was so shocked that his eyes widened and he cursed as he struggled to get up.
That bastard was actually released?!
"Get out of my way!" She didn't hold back and kicked He Cheng's genitals with swift, accurate, and ruthless speed!
However, He Cheng had gotten used to being beaten, so he quickly dodged and glared at Su An even more fiercely, grabbing her and raising his hand high to slap her.
"Today I'm going to teach you a lesson, you fickle, shameless woman!"
Su An's face turned pale. There was no one around at night, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to escape this time!
"ah!"
Just then, Jian Yi suddenly appeared from behind and slapped He Cheng away with great force.
"Miss Su, are you alright?"
Jian Yi didn't rush forward, but stayed nervously by Su An's side.
He was careless! If Miss Su makes a mistake, the Prince will not forgive him!
"N-nothing..." Su An shook her head, looking at He Cheng, who had been knocked to the ground, with some horror.
"You bunch of adulterers!"
He Cheng scrambled to his feet, cursing as he ran away, yelling, "You just wait, I'll never let you get away with this!"
"Especially you, Su An! You're about to die! Hahaha!"
Su An's face was both cold and bewildered, but he vaguely guessed what was going on. He Cheng had probably escaped from prison or bribed his way out!
But even after he came out, instead of hiding properly, he dared to come looking for me?
Moreover, He Cheng didn't gain any advantage at all, yet he said she was about to die?
Su An inexplicably felt something was wrong, and realizing what was happening, he quickly shouted, "Brother Jian, hurry, go after that bastard!"
“Then Miss Su, you should go home first. I’ll go investigate.” Jian Yi frowned, looking slightly guilty.
He personally witnessed He Cheng going to Ni Dagui's house, never expecting that he would end up staking out Miss Su, and almost got into trouble.
An investigation is out of the question; we can only go back and report to the Prince!
Su An thought Jian Yi was afraid that something might happen to him again, so he quickly did as he was told, and neatly closed the door after entering the shop.
Back in my room, I was still a little shaken.
What on earth is that scumbag bastard up to with this whole show tonight?
Su An waited until late into the night without any news, and finally, unable to stay awake any longer, she went to sleep, planning to find out more when she woke up early.
The next morning.
A cacophony of noise rose and fell in the streets, where crowds of people were gathered, discussing something with fear in their voices.
Su An and his family were all woken up.
"What's going on? Second brother, go check what's happening. It seems to be right across from our house." Li Guihua came out wearing a coat. It was barely dawn, and there was already such a commotion.
Su Jiang nodded, but as soon as he opened the door, a group of yamen runners rushed in and barged into the Su family home.
Su Ting jumped in fright and rushed forward to protect her family, shouting, "What are you doing!"
The head constable, expressionless, pointed behind him, where a corpse covered with a white sheet was being carried.
He then stared straight at Su An behind him and said coldly, "Ni Dagui, the noodle shop owner, was found dead in his bed by his servant just now. An item was found in the room, which was Su An's purse from your Su family!"
"Su An, you are suspected of murder. Come with us to the yamen!"
