Thinking of this, Wen Zhu felt a warmth in his heart.
Especially her brother who always protects his own people. Not only is he stubborn, but he also hooks up with an old man named Jiang, which makes the situation even more complicated.
Besides, Wen Zhu’s indenture contract is no longer in his hands.
The contract is now in someone else's hands, and she is no longer bound by anyone.
If someone really hurt Wen Zhu, the old man surnamed Jiang would definitely not stand idly by.
He will definitely seek justice for his own niece, and then the situation will become even more difficult to handle.
Wringing her handkerchief irritably, Su Xiawei's heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
She thought over and over again about how to deal with the situation that was about to happen, and finally she decided to firmly deny everything.
After all, no one caught her in the act, so she could deny it.
After a long time, Su Xiawei took a deep breath, opened the door, and walked out with heavy steps, still feeling uneasy.
After finding Hongye and Donglu, Su Xiawei discovered that they were still unconscious, so she pinched their Ren Zhong acupoints hard, trying to wake them up as soon as possible.
I deliberately sent them away today so that I could meet Su Yunrong alone. Now I have to make sure that there are no loopholes in their memories.
"I told you I was going to take a nap here and wait outside when I got back. Didn't you remember that?"
Su Xiawei said sternly.
I deliberately sent them away today before letting Su Yunrong into Lixiang Pavilion. I told them that I wanted to take a rest here and asked them to wait outside after I came back.
These two girls probably don’t know about her and Su Yunrong.
Otherwise, things might not end so easily.
"Did you drink too much? You actually fell asleep here?!"
Su Xiawei asked angrily, her face full of blame and suspicion.
"I...I'm not drunk, it's Wen Zhu..." Hongye explained hurriedly, her voice trembling slightly, fearing that Su Xiawei's anger would fall on her.
"Still want to talk back?"
Su Xiawei glared at Hongye fiercely, and the fierceness in her eyes almost made the other party collapse.
Hongye was so frightened that her body trembled. She quickly lowered her head and dared not say another word.
Wen Zhu invited Concubine Xiao to sit down in Canglang Pavilion and asked Su Yue to quickly prepare some exquisite tea and snacks, hoping to slightly relieve the noble lady's fatigue from the journey.
"Today's incident is all thanks to Concubine Xiao. If it weren't for your timely help, we wouldn't have been able to resolve it so smoothly."
Wen Zhu bowed sincerely and expressed his deep gratitude.
Concubine Xiao smiled gently and waved her hand, "You should sit down too. There's no need to be so reserved. I was originally here to accompany the princess to your home. I was wandering around with nothing better to do, and I happened to see this incident, so I just wanted to help. Congratulations on finally getting your contract back and being free from now on."
"I don't have to worry about being sold out at will anymore."
Wen Zhu couldn't help but feel his eyes moist when he thought of the difficult life in the past.
Those bitter years have finally changed a little.
"Indeed. Don't you want to take advantage of this opportunity to do something more?"
Concubine Xiao asked softly, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes, as if she was looking for some possible answer.
Wen Zhu's eyelashes drooped slightly, her breathing became slightly heavy, and she sighed and said, "Our young lady has the support of Minister Su behind her. Even if I regain my status, I can't go too far. Since I promised her not to tell anyone, I'll keep my promise and choose to keep silent."
"If she doesn't restrain herself, your prince will find out about this sooner or later."
Concubine Xiao smiled, with an unfathomable light flashing in her eyes.
"In that case, the young lady can't blame me."
Wen Zhu lowered his head and spoke in a low voice, with a hint of helplessness and determination in his voice.
"You're right. What can your prince do if he finds out? He can only endure it."
Concubine Xiao's expression changed slightly, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.
Wen Zhu's curiosity drove her to continue asking, "Concubine Xiao, is there any grudge between you and our young lady?"
Concubine Xiao was silent for a moment, as if recalling some painful memories from the past, before finally speaking: "You know our eldest sister, right? When she was chosen to marry into the Northern You clan, we all thought it was the imperial palace's decision. But later we discovered that it was all because of Su Xiawei's manipulation that forced our eldest sister to marry the old Khan of the Northern You clan."
Hearing this, Wen Zhu was stunned and couldn't help feeling angry.
It turns out that there is such a big secret behind all this. No wonder the people in the Prince's Mansion hate Su Xiawei so much.
"Then she is indeed hateful."
Wen Zhu said in a low voice, his tone full of disgust for what Su Xiawei had done.
"Your wife and the prince both know about this. But they still haven't driven Su Xiawei away."
Concubine Xiao's eyes flashed with resentment. "Although Madam is the eldest lady's aunt, there is still a layer of relationship between them. Moreover, Su Xiawei's father holds great power. Alas, it's no wonder they made this choice. I understand it."
After saying this, Concubine Xiao sighed heavily, as if there was countless sadness and helplessness in this sigh.
"It's understandable that the madam loves my cousin. After all, the Su family is powerful and has a strong background. Even the wife of a noble duke has to be cautious when dealing with such a relationship."
Wen Zhu thought so and began to defend the Duke's wife.
She knew that she couldn't blame the Duke's wife. In fact, even the Prince's Mansion would find it difficult to offend such a family power.
Faced with such a complex situation, how many people dare to risk the world's condemnation and completely intensify the conflict?
After a while, Wen Zhu continued to ask, "So, is it because of this reason that our prince chose to distance himself from the young lady? Is it because he was afraid of provoking the Su family behind them?"
This question has been lingering in her mind.
In response to this question, Concubine Xiao smiled at Wen Zhu and said, "Su Xiawei's personality is indeed difficult to get along with. She has a strong and cunning personality. I'm afraid there are few men in this world who are willing to tolerate her behavior for a long time."
After saying this, Concubine Xiao nodded slightly in affirmation.
Listening to the other party's words, Wen Zhu nodded thoughtfully, and secretly speculated in his heart: Could it be that Princess Changping and this Sui Sui are the same person?
Although the thought flashed through her mind, she didn't say it out loud immediately.
Concubine Xiao then spoke in a gentle yet firm tone, "Out of consideration for the emotional relationship between your wife and the Crown Prince, our princess has decided not to retaliate directly against Su Xiawei. However, this grudge cannot be left unchecked for long; it will eventually be settled. And now, because I'm concerned about your personal safety, I've decided to keep all of this a secret for the time being."
After she finished speaking, she sighed softly, looking very helpless.
