At this time, the main room was in chaos. A man was holding Su Yihui and half-sitting on the edge of the bed. There was another man on the ground being held down by several servants.
Su Qingyu recognized the man on the bed as Xu Liangping, the grandson of Xu Yixiang, the chief minister of the cabinet.
In their previous life, Su Yihui and Xu Liangping had an affair more than two years later, yet they met so soon in this life.
These two people really are... destined to be together.
The man pinned to the ground by the servant was also an acquaintance, Zhou Zheng, the young master of Zhou's Trading Company.
In their previous life, Su Yuankai and Zhou Zheng teamed up to beat up the son of the Minister of Rites because they were competing for the most beautiful woman.
That day she happened to be back home to deliver a festival gift, and saw Zhou Zheng and Su Yuankai kneeling in the side hall of the Su family, asking her father to help them go to the home of the Minister of Rites to speak.
So the man who came in first with bad intentions was Zhou Zheng, and Xu Yiliang must have happened to pass by, heard the noise, and rushed in with his men.
At this time, Su Yihui must have been affected by the incense in the fireplace. Her originally fair face turned an attractive pink. One hand grabbed Xu Yiliang's clothes and rubbed it randomly.
Su Yuankai also recognized Xu Yiliang and stepped forward and said cautiously, "Master Xu, why are you here? Thank you, Master Xu, for saving my sister."
Xu Yiliang looked down at the beautiful girl in his arms, and his heart began to flutter.
"Is this your sister? What should we do? She got hit by something like this in the middle of nowhere. All of you should get out. I'm here for you."
Xu Yiliang knew Su Yuankai's identity, but he didn't take the Su family seriously. Besides, if this matter were to be made public, he would still be helping.
Su Yuankai was extremely panicked. If his sister's innocence was ruined in his hands, how would he explain himself when he returned home?
But it’s not realistic to take everyone down the mountain right now. There’s no antidote for this thing, and I can’t just leave my sister in the snow.
In addition, the person in front of him was Xu Yiliang, so Su Yuankai had no choice but to retreat in panic.
Also leaving were Su Qingyu and the Xu family's servant.
As soon as they left the main room, Su Yuankai looked at Su Qingyu with his eyes wide open, "What did you do to Yihui? Why is she in there?"
Su Qingyu looked at Su Yuankai meaningfully, "I was just wondering, why is Third Sister in my room? And Big Brother, when did you come and what are you doing here?"
She looked at Zhou Zheng who was pinned to the ground. "Who is this person? Why did he enter my room? I think we should send him to the Ministry of Justice first."
Su Yuankai's face darkened when he heard this, and a hint of panic appeared in his eyes.
Then he said to Su Qingyu: "You are a girl, don't stand here, go back to your room quickly."
It was obvious that he didn't want Su Qingyu to ask any more questions, and as for Zhou Zheng, he had to let him go. He was afraid that Zhou Zheng would say something he shouldn't.
Su Qingyu could naturally see through his thoughts, but she didn't expose him and returned to the west wing with her maid.
In the dense forest northwest of the wing, Wen Zhu was whispering in Third Master Yan's ear, "Third Master, I've checked, and Miss Su is fine. This incident was probably aimed at her, but luckily she was alert and prepared in advance."
Master Yan San nodded slightly. Just as the master and servant were about to turn around, they heard a sound coming from the main room.
Wen Zhu's expression changed. "Third Master, Xu Yiliang is such a bastard that he dared to desecrate the holy land of Buddhism."
Master Yan San's expression remained unchanged, his fingers gently stroking the old sandalwood Buddhist beads on his wrist. "Isn't it normal for two demons and monsters to enter the Buddhist sect?"
He then instructed Wenzhu, "Tell the teacher about this. I'll submit an impeachment memorial at the Imperial Censorate tomorrow. While Lord Xu is disciplining his grandson, I'll have a good opportunity to act quickly. I was still thinking about how to distract Lord Xu from his attention while keeping a low profile and preventing him from noticing anything. She actually gave me a great gift."
Wen Zhu bowed and said, "Yes, I will go to Elder Chen's residence right away."
Su Qingyu quickly took the maids back to the west wing. The sounds from the main room could be heard intermittently, and the girls could only stuff cotton balls into their ears, but they were still blushing with embarrassment.
Fortunately, everyone was tired during the day and fell asleep in a daze.
The next morning, Su Qingyu was awakened by crying.
It was cold, and she stayed in bed and didn't want to get up, so she asked Zhenzhu to go and see what was going on.
Not long after, Pearl lifted the curtain and came in. She stood at the door for a while to cool down her body before walking to the bed.
"Miss, I've found out everything. That Young Master Zhou went down the mountain last night. Half an hour ago, Young Master Xu left the main room, and the maid changed the Third Miss's clothes. Now the Third Miss is crying with the Eldest Young Master."
Su Qingyu hummed and instructed Zhenzhu, "When she stops crying, go ask the young master when we can go back."
Feicui brought in some hot water and helped Su Qingyu wash up. "Miss, I asked Madam Hu to get breakfast. Let's just have some soy milk and pancakes."
Su Qingyu is not picky about food. In her opinion, hot spring soy milk and vegetarian pancakes are already very good.
After she had breakfast with a few servants, Su Yuankai responded and said that he would return home immediately.
Su Yihui and Su Qingyu each brought their maids in a carriage, and Su Yuankai rode a horse. The group returned to the Marquis' Mansion in a grand procession.
As soon as the carriage stopped at the second gate of the Marquis' Mansion, the butler Su Zhong came forward in a panic.
"Master, ladies, the Marquis wants you to go to Songhe Hall immediately."
Su Qingyu asked, "What happened?"
Su Zhong subconsciously glanced at Su Yihui and explained, "When the Marquis was in court today, he was impeached by the Censorate, saying that Miss Su and Young Master Xu had defiled the pure land of Buddhism and committed adultery."
"The Emperor reprimanded the Marquis and Lord Xu and told them to return home and properly educate the younger generation."
