A sudden knock on the door startled the two of them awake.
"Your Highness and Your Highness's Consort! Someone has delivered a letter," Ye Shan reported from outside the door.
Su Wenyuan frowned and said, "What letter? Come in and tell me."
Ye Shan handed a letter addressed to Princess Consort Chen to Su Wenyuan and explained, "The guards saw the person who came to deliver the letter and followed her. It was Su Lin'er's maid."
Su Wenyuan asked with a surprised smile, "Su Lin'er's maid, is there any poison on this letter?"
"I'll go call Hua Ling!" Ye Shan said seriously, and was about to go out.
Su Wenyuan stopped her and said, "No need, I was just kidding. She's not that stupid."
The letter was opened, and its contents made Su Wenyuan frown.
It describes how Su Yuan "bullied" Yu Qingzhu back then, such as taking advantage of Yu Qingzhu's pregnancy to ask for money under the pretext of buying her things, but then giving the money to Wang Shi instead.
Furthermore, most of the medicinal herbs and tonics prepared for Yu Qingzhu by the manor were sent to Wang Shi.
Even during those years, Su Yuan would steal the gifts Su Wenyuan received for her birthday and give them to Su Lin'er.
The letter was full of pride and boasting, showing off how happy his family was.
Finally, it was emphasized that Yu Qingzhu forcibly took Su Yuan back then, and today she forcibly took Sheng Jingyu; the mother and daughter are birds of a feather...
"No, does she think it's right for her mother to be a mistress? Is she insulting me or herself?" Su Wenyuan read it again.
Sheng Jingyu took it, glanced at it briefly, and said, "Go into the manor and arrest her. Tell her she humiliated the Princess Consort of Chen, and kill her on the spot."
Sheng Jingyu's method was still so crude. He already disliked Su Lin'er, and then, late at night, he sent this thing to provoke her.
The letter was blatantly boastful, showing no intention of concealing its identity whatsoever.
But the handwriting wasn't hers; it was obvious she was afraid Su Wenyuan would come to her door with the letter and settle scores.
“Such a thing happened during the day, and you went to arrest her and even kill her at night? Isn’t this obviously me killing her to cover it up? This letter is also strange, sent to deliberately provoke me, is she sick?” Su Wenyuan said calmly.
Although the letter boasted about how good Su Yuan was to Wang Shi, didn't Wang Shi ultimately die at Su Yuan's hands?
They even said how happy their family was, but Su Wenyuan couldn't see it at all.
Sheng Jingyu said irritably, "This person is so annoying, why can't I do anything to her?"
Before Su Lin'er became so annoying, I wouldn't have had to think twice before killing her.
Su Wenyuan glanced at the letter again and said, "Although this letter was deliberately meant to provoke me, I still have to make a scene."
"You can already tell it's a trap, why are you still jumping in?" Sheng Jingyu asked with some concern.
Su Wenyuan said disdainfully, "With her brain, a trap? I went to make a scene because everything written on it is true! I can stay calm, but I can't let Su Yuan off the hook like this."
If Su Wenyuan knew even a little about what happened back then, she would make a scene, so that Su Yuan would be afraid and regret it.
He would become extremely nervous, fearing that Su Wenyuan would find out more and then retaliate.
Now that she's seen the letter, she has to go.
After thinking for a moment, Sheng Jingyu said, "Su Lin'er just wants you to cause trouble. Last time you said she was eyeing the Prince Chen's mansion, but so much time has passed and she hasn't taken any action."
"I guess she hasn't made a move because Su Yuan isn't helping her. Su Yuan has been too quiet lately; we can't find anything wrong with him, and he's not taking the initiative to show his face. He probably doesn't want to fight with you anymore."
Su Wenyuan nodded in agreement, saying that this was a reasonable thought.
Su Lin'er's blatant provocation was meant to provoke Su Wenyuan into causing trouble, but every time she did, it turned the Su household into chaos.
Even if it means enduring the chaos in the manor, we must find a way to get her there.
Clearly, Su Lin'er benefited from this incident, making it worthwhile for her to do it.
Su Wenyuan put the letter away and said with a smile, "Give the letter to Su Yuan after the commotion is over tomorrow."
We can't let Su Lin'er use us for nothing; we have to let Su Yuan know who's behind this.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. Several servants died at the Duke of Wan's mansion. This is what the Duke of Wan gave me in return." Sheng Jingyu suddenly remembered.
Su Wenyuan said, "Everything's over, so just take it."
Seeing that there was nothing more for her to do, Ye Shan slowly left the room.
Su Wenyuan was also tired. After saying that, she lay down on the bed and ignored him.
Sheng Jingyu had finished discussing the matter of reading the letters and wanted to say a few more words to her, to talk about other things, such as the Duke of Wan's mansion.
But Su Wenyuan refused to respond and went to sleep alone.
The servants who died at the Duke of Wanguo's mansion were the ones who colluded with Lou Hui and her group from the inside.
Whether it's true or false, we don't know, but the person is dead, and now there's no way to verify it.
The whole matter was no longer investigated, and what exactly happened at the Duke of Wanguo's mansion was no longer important.
Because it wasn't important, Sheng Jingyu didn't take it to heart. He only remembered it because he had run out of things to talk about.
Seeing that Su Wenyuan still ignored him, Sheng Jingyu climbed onto the bed in a huff and kept squeezing in.
Su Wenyuan had nowhere to avoid it and could clearly feel the warmth of his chest.
His breath fell on Su Wenyuan's ear, making her involuntarily shrink back. She tried to remain calm and asked, "Why are you squeezing me? Isn't the bed big enough?"
Sheng Jingyu didn't say anything and remained close to Su Wenyuan.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she turned around and realized how close she was to Sheng Jingyu.
She was so nervous she dared not breathe; they were just a hair's breadth away from kissing.
The thought had barely crossed his mind when Sheng Jingyu leaned forward a little and kissed him...
Su Wenyuan froze, nervously trying to back away, but she was already pressed against the wall with nowhere to hide.
Sheng Jingyu's movements were gentle yet somewhat tense. His hands gradually climbed upwards, following Su Wenyuan's arm to her back, and then slowly moved up to the back of her head, deepening the kiss.
Just as he was about to take his next step, Su Wenyuan came to her senses and pushed him away forcefully.
Without saying a word, he turned around and buried himself in the blankets.
Her face was flushed red, and she could barely breathe as she recalled their first intimate moment.
That night, she mistook herself for a beast and thought she had bullied the blind Sheng Jingyu.
She later found out that Sheng Jingyu had taken advantage of her.
Those memories lingered in her mind; the kiss just now, and Sheng Jingyu's restless hands, made her unable to stop thinking about them.
Sheng Jingyu placed his hand on the blanket and could feel the rapid breathing of the person beneath him. He couldn't help but smile, then crawled under the blanket to continue the unfinished action.
The gentle touch vanished in an instant, replaced by an unbearable passion. Su Wenyuan couldn't withstand it, and her hand weakly rose and fell back down.
This time, Sheng Jingyu wasn't pushed away. He revealed a slightly malicious smile and said in a low voice, "Isn't it a bit late?"
Su Wenyuan's voice gradually changed tone as she followed Sheng Jingyu's movements...
