Seeing this, Gu Ruoyun supported Aunt Xue and said to Su Qingyu, "Qingyu, she is an elder after all. How could you hit her?"
Su Qingyu looked at Gu Ruoyun with a half-smile, "She's just a concubine, why would she pretend to be my elder?"
"In a family like ours, concubines and mistresses can never become masters."
"What do you think, aunt?"
Gu Ruoyun's face changed slightly. She wanted to get angry but there was no reason for her to do so.
Su Qingyu's gaze was as cold as a sharp blade that could cut through people's hearts, which startled Gu Ruoyun.
Seeing this, Su Chengye slammed the table hard, causing the teacup to clink. "Evil girl, you have committed such a disaster, and you still don't repent?"
Su Qingyu took a deep breath and forced herself not to go forward and slap Su Chengye.
"Father said I caused trouble, but where's the evidence? The Ministry of Justice needs evidence to investigate a case. Father, you can't wrongly accuse me, right?"
Old Madam Su sat on the side, squinting her eyes and twisting the small-leaf Buddhist beads in her hand, her mood unremarkable.
Hearing this, he suddenly said, "Let Yihui and Yuankai come in. We need to confront them face to face and make things clear."
After a while, Su Yuankai and Su Yihui walked in.
Su Yihui looked aggrieved. She walked to Su Qingyu and glared at her fiercely.
When Aunt Xue saw her son and daughter come in, she came to her senses and said, "Yihui, please repeat what you just said so that your elder sister won't deny it."
Su Yihui glanced at Su Qingyu and said, "Last night, my elder sister asked me to go to her room to talk. I went there and everything was fine, but suddenly there was a knock on the door and a man's voice outside. I was scared and asked my elder sister who she was. My elder sister picked up a handkerchief and covered me with it, and I fainted. There must have been drugs on the handkerchief. She did it on purpose."
After Su Yihui finished speaking, Su Yuankai stepped forward and said, "Grandmother, Father, that Young Master Zhou has confessed. He said that he and Su Qingyu have known each other for a long time, and that their reunion in the temple this time was arranged."
"Su Qingyu also said that she wanted to give her sister to him. Fortunately, Master Xu passed by, otherwise... the consequences would be unimaginable."
After the brother and sister finished their conversation, they felt that there was nothing wrong with it. The house was Su Qingyu's residence, and there were witnesses. As long as Grandmother and Mother believed it a little, and Zhou Zheng insisted that he had an affair with her, the matter would be settled.
Su Chengye looked at Su Qingyu and angrily said, "What else do you have to say?"
"The eldest daughter of our Su family actually did something that brought disgrace upon our family. You have greatly disappointed your father."
There was no trace of panic on Su Qingyu's face, and she glanced at Su Yuankai and his sister with a hint of sarcasm.
Asked.
"Do big brother and Master Zhou know each other?"
Su Yuankai was startled, and said with his neck stiff, "I don't know him. How could we know each other?"
Su Qingyu chuckled and said, "Big Brother and Young Master Zhou are close friends. They are both lovers of Miss Yunxiao from Xiangchunlou. They can be said to have known each other for a long time."
"After that, we often drank and went to casinos together. The casino we often went to was the one on Yong'an Street."
"Father can ask someone at Xiangchunlou and the casino to ask around. They all know them."
Su Yuankai froze in place, and as Su Qingyu spoke, his face became more and more panicked.
"You...you...how did you know?"
Su Qingyu laughed and said, "I spent three taels of silver to check it this morning."
She had actually heard about this in her previous life, but she didn't expect to use it today.
"Brother, you and Young Master Zhou have such a good relationship, didn't you go up the mountain together?"
"Why did you go up the mountain?"
After saying that, without waiting for Su Yuankai to explain, he said loudly: "Come here, bring the things up."
Feicui walked in holding a heater and handed it to Su Qingyu. It was the same one that Su Yihui had used before.
Su Yihui's eyes widened. She realized that the heater was missing after she got on the carriage. She thought she had forgotten it at the Huguo Temple. How did it get into her hands?
Su Qingyu placed the heater in her hand on the table between Su Chengye and the old lady.
Then he said, "The brocade covering this heater is embroidered with lotus leaves. I asked someone to find out, and it's the same stitching as Cui Liu, Third Sister's personal maid."
"And this heater, which was purchased at the beginning of winter. Each one has a different one, and the household has a record of it in the account book."
"The incense burning in this stove is not what an ordinary girl would use. If you see a doctor now, you can still tell the difference."
"Father, Grandmother, yesterday I finished the ritual and returned to my room. Then I felt the woods behind the main house were a little scary, so I went to the wing room to squeeze in with Pearl."
"I don't know why Third Sister went to my room, and I don't know how Master Zhou rushed into my room."
"Please ask Father and Grandmother to investigate thoroughly, or just send Young Master Zhou directly to the Ministry of Justice. I also want to know why he entered my room in the middle of the night, and who put the aphrodisiac in Third Sister's incense burner."
After saying this, the old lady stopped twirling her Buddhist beads and stared at Su Yuankai and his sister with a pair of sharp eyes. Su Chengye also had a look of disbelief on his face, and his expression was terribly gloomy.
Aunt Xue looked at the old lady from time to time, clearly terrified. Gu Ruoyun lowered her head, a deep disappointment flashing in her eyes.
Su Qingyu knew they had their own thoughts and didn't bother to explore them. She simply asked Su Chengye, "Father, how do you think we should handle this? Zhou Zheng and I have no grudges against each other, so why is he trying to smear me? We should send him to the Ministry of Justice for questioning. Don't tell me there's someone behind this plotting against our family."
Su Chengye and the old lady are both in their sixties, how could they not see the twists and turns here?
