Su Yihui never dreamed that everything that happened afterwards was out of her control.
When she woke up in the side room and saw the Zhao family, she was panicked, but she still had confidence in her heart.
Even if Su Qingyu presented enough evidence, she was not afraid, because those evidences were not impeccable.
The incident happened in the Zhao family's inner house. If you interrogate carefully, you will find that Su Qingyu entered the side room with her.
And it is even more impossible for Su Qingyu's bodyguard to avoid everyone's eyes and ears.
She believed that with the abilities of her father-in-law and husband, they would be able to uncover these facts through interrogation.
But after the final interrogation, all the evidence pointed to her. She even had the illusion that she had misremembered and that she had really killed the man.
But no matter how she cried out for justice or how she defended herself, she could not change the final outcome.
Su Yihui was locked up. She sat on the ground and curled up in a ball. Her mind was filled with chaotic thoughts, all of which were about today's events.
She couldn't figure out what went wrong. How did Su Qingyu manage to do all these things so flawlessly in the Zhao family's inner residence?
A little maid passed by outside and her clear voice came in.
"The Duke said that Madam Shen likes the cherry pastry in our house. Please ask the kitchen to make more and bring it back to Madam Shen."
An idea suddenly popped up in Su Yihui's mind, flashed through her mind quickly, and made her unable to grasp the clue.
Crunch.
The door was pushed open and Su Qingyu walked in with jade.
Su Yihui looked up and watched her approach.
The pattern of the lotus green gold-woven brocade skirt gradually became larger in her eyes.
She had never worn such gorgeous and luxurious clothes, and she might never have the chance to do so again.
Su Qingyu lowered her brows and could see Su Yihui's scattered hair. The hairpin on her head was also hanging loosely on her hair. The slightest movement would make it fall off.
"You are really good at bewitching people. Not only did you bewitch Mr. Shen, you even didn't let the Zhao family father and son go." Su Yihui said in a deep voice, her mouth twitching.
Feicui frowned, "Miss Third, please be careful with your words. This is too harsh to hear."
Su Qingyu sneered and shook her head. "You're the only one who knows how to use such despicable tactics. Do you think everyone is the same as you?"
"Today I just treated you the way you intended to treat me, so why can't you bear it?"
Su Yihui bit her lower lip tightly, and traces of blood seeped from the corners of her lips.
She tilted her head back and looked intently at Su Qingyu.
"I admit that my methods are inferior to others. If I had succeeded today, you would be sitting here now."
Su Qingyu came here, actually, there was nothing to say to her. She just felt that there should be an end to the beginning, and it was time to see her off, just like she had done with Cheng Rujin.
But at this time, Su Yihui's words made her want to argue again.
She squatted down and looked at Su Yihui straight in the eye.
"Even if you succeed today, I won't sit here."
Su Yihui was stunned and didn't understand what she meant.
Su Qingyu continued, "If you succeed today, I won't believe that Third Master wants to force Gu Jinlan, and Third Master won't believe that I killed Gu Jinlan."
"Even if you call in the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple to investigate, Third Master will not wrongly accuse me."
"Let's take a step back and say, even if the truth is not revealed and my guilt is proven, Third Master will do his utmost to protect me."
She would not tolerate anyone questioning the relationship and trust between her and Shen Zhixiu, not even the dying Su Yihui.
Su Qingyu's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Su Yihui's heart.
The previously messy thoughts suddenly became clear. How could Su Qingyu do all these things so perfectly in the Zhao family? It was because these were all tacitly permitted by the Zhao family.
Zhao Jingwu and Zhao Ji were not deceived, but wanted to help Su Qingyu send her on her way.
She should have thought of it long ago. Zhao Ji was heartless and would never be influenced by women.
Su Yihui suddenly felt a little regretful, smiled bitterly, and asked Su Qingyu.
"Big sister, do you think that if I behave myself and serve as the wife of the Crown Prince of the Duke of Wei, I can rest assured for the rest of my life?"
Given Zhao Ji's behavior, if she behaved herself, he wouldn't treat her harshly. Once she had a son or daughter, she would have something to look forward to in the rest of her life.
Su Qingyu suddenly recalled her past life, when they were married before Song Hongshen left for war. While Song Hongshen was away, Su Yihui and Xu Liangping became involved. When Song Hongshen returned to the capital after being crowned king, Su Yihui was driven out of the Song family with a letter of divorce.
If she had been able to behave herself in her previous life, she would have been able to secure the position of a princess. Based on Song Hongshen's military exploits at the time, Su Yihui's later life could be described as unparalleled.
But in her past and present lives, Su Yihui was restless and took the wrong path.
The process is different, but the outcome is the same.
Seeing that Su Yihui was still waiting for her reply, Su Qingyu thought for a moment and said, "It's a pity that God didn't give you a second chance."
Su Yihui seemed to be deflated, and she slumped to the ground. She didn't even know whether to hate Su Qingyu or Zhao Ji.
"Madam, it's time to go back home. The Third Master is still waiting." Feicui reminded in a low voice.
Su Qingyu nodded slightly, turned and walked towards the door.
Su Yihui looked at Su Qingyu's back, her mind full of the scene when she was a child sitting on the swing in the garden and Su Qingyu pushed her.
At that time, the sky was high and the clouds were light, the grass was green and the flowers were fragrant. At that time, she didn't know what jealousy was, she only knew that her elder sister was so kind to her.
When she looked up again, Su Qingyu had already left. The door closed, and the sound of it being locked could be heard from outside. Su Yihui pressed her face against the wall, and the blue bricks on the ground were shimmering with water.
Su Qingyu returned to the main courtyard again and, together with the other members of the Shen family, bid farewell to Duke Weiguo and his wife.
The others went directly back to the Shen family, while Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu took a carriage to the Su family.
She had to go and see how Su Yuankai was doing and what Aunt Xue's reaction was.
After entering the Su family's gate, the housekeeper Su Zhong came to greet him.
After paying his respects, he asked Su Qingyu, "Miss, are you returning home to see the old lady? The old lady is in Songhe Hall."
Su Qingyu was slightly surprised. "In Songhe Hall? The young master sent her to Songhe Hall?"
At this time, everyone in the Su family should be surrounding Su Yuankai, right? After all, he is the eldest grandson of the eldest son's family.
Su Zhong shook his head upon hearing this and said, "The eldest young master is in Aunt Xue's courtyard, not in Songhe Hall."
“Who’s taking care of it then?”
"Only Aunt Xue is here."
Su Qingyu was even more puzzled when she heard this. She happened to meet Zhichun from Songhe Hall, who seemed to have just come out of the sewing room, holding clothes in her hands.
Su Qingyu sent Su Zhong away and called Zhichun over.
"What happened? After the young master returned home, no one went to see him?"
