Su Lin'er felt extremely happy and was not afraid of the Empress's difficulties. How many more days could the Empress make things difficult for her?
Strangely enough, the Empress did not make things difficult for her today. She only said a few words to her before letting her go back.
The reason was simple: even the Empress was afraid of dying.
She needs to calm down; she can't afford to get angry anymore, or she'll really die.
After the two of them left, other guests arrived at the Prince Chen's residence. Su Wenyuan was still nowhere to be seen, but one person kept begging to see her. That person was Su Yuan.
Since Su Yuan suffered a stroke and became paralyzed, he has become extremely shameless.
He said if Su Wenyuan didn't see him again, he would personally come to the gate of Prince Chen's mansion... lie down, and stubbornly wait for Su Wenyuan to see him.
He's willing to go all out and isn't afraid of what others will say.
Su Wenyuan didn't want to get entangled with him endlessly at this crucial point, so she agreed to meet him.
While Su Yuan was still on his way, Su Wenyuan took the time to meet with Nian Huaizhong.
If it weren't for him, the two of them wouldn't have gone to the Marquis of Anle's residence. Su Wenyuan wanted to know if he had anything to do with this.
Nian Huaizhong looked guilty and couldn't stop apologizing as soon as he saw Su Wenyuan.
"I think what happened last night was quite a coincidence. Do you have anything to say about it?" Su Wenyuan asked coldly.
Nian Huai stared at her in astonishment, and after a long pause, said, "Does the Princess suspect that I colluded with the assassins and lured you there?"
Su Wenyuan neither admitted nor denied it; she only suspected it but had no evidence.
Not only is there no evidence, but upon closer examination, it also seems unreasonable.
He was always being watched by someone, and he had no contact with outsiders and rarely went out.
If there was collusion, how were messages passed between them?
Furthermore, Nian Huaizhong has helped Su Wenyuan a lot. If he were one of the Duke of Wan's men, why would he provide her with so many clues?
Su Wenyuan couldn't figure it out and couldn't find out anything, so she could only ask him to come over and ask.
Observe the reaction; you might be able to spot some flaws.
“From the moment I arrived at Prince Chen’s residence, I have been working for you. I have not hidden anything from you, nor have I asked for any benefits. I should have helped you resolve many of your questions, right?” Nian Huai asked.
Su Wenyuan admitted, "That's right, thanks to you, my investigation has made significant progress."
If it weren't for Nian Huai's passing, and her continued vigil guarding the Marquis of Anle's residence and Rongzhu Courtyard until now, she might not have discovered any hidden compartments, let alone location maps and other miscellaneous items.
Su Wenyuan has never denied Nian Huaizhong's contribution; it is precisely because Nian Huaizhong has helped her so much that she is so conflicted.
On the one hand, I don't believe him, but on the other hand, I feel that it's heartless of me to doubt him like this.
Nian Huaizhong said urgently, "I'm trying to help you, how could I harm you?"
Su Wenyuan remained silent. She initially suspected Nian Huaizhong because his appearance was too coincidental and he just happened to be able to help her.
However, after investigating this issue, the results showed that it was just a coincidence.
Nian Huaizhong was indeed talented in making mechanisms, and there was nothing wrong with his identity.
Even after all this, she still doubted him. Su Wenyuan felt she had gone too far and was prejudiced against Nian Huai.
But this suspicion cannot be dispelled.
Nian Huai finally sat down in despair, head hanging low, already noticing Su Wenyuan's inner turmoil.
Seeing him like this, Su Wenyuan couldn't bear it and explained, "You've really helped me so much, but this incident is too coincidental, so I can't help but suspect you."
"You doubt me, what can I do? Kill me to pay with your life." Nian Huai finally gave up struggling, his attitude turning hostile.
Su Wenyuan understood that he had a temper; if it were her, she might do something drastic.
She thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness is seriously injured, so I can't help but worry. But since you say it has nothing to do with you, I can't wrong you for no reason. I'm just asking today."
Su Wenyuan didn't see the flaw, but her guilt towards him increased considerably.
Ye Shan watched the whole thing from the sidelines, and felt a strange, inexplicable feeling that Nian Huai was not sincere enough.
This was from her perspective as an observer; Su Wenyuan and Nian Huaizhong, face to face, didn't feel this way at all.
She just felt very embarrassed, on the one hand suspecting and investigating him, and on the other hand having to make him do things for her.
If his trip to the capital at the end of his life was really just to seek out a famous teacher, then he would be in real trouble.
All I did was comment on a bunch of pieces of wood, and I was dragged into Prince Chen's mansion. Not only was I not trusted, but I was also trapped here, not knowing when I would be able to get out.
As she thought about it, Su Wenyuan felt a little more sympathy for him.
At this moment, Su Yuan arrived, and Su Wenyuan had someone bring him in.
Nianhuai was still angry, and asked indifferently, "Is it none of my business anymore?"
"Yes, you should go back and rest first. You're lacking in some daily necessities..."
Before Su Wenyuan could finish speaking, Nian Huaizhong left, not wanting to talk to her.
In the courtyard, he brushed past Su Yuan. Su Yuan glanced at him indifferently at first, then turned around sharply and stared intently at Nian Huaizhong's back.
Su Wenyuan witnessed this scene and, puzzled, went to Su Yuan's side.
“He…he…” Su Yuan raised his hand with difficulty, his eyes filled with disbelief.
know?
Su Wenyuan quickly stopped her, saying, "Go inside first."
Even after entering the front hall, Su Yuan wanted to turn back to look, but could only see the heavy curtains.
Su Wenyuan asked impatiently, "Do you know him?"
“Marquis Anle…” Su Yuan started to say, but then suddenly stopped and shook his head.
Su Wenyuan asked impatiently, "Do you know me or not? Haven't you already made yourself very clear?"
Su Yuan said, "I've mistaken him for someone else. The one I know is probably around my age, not this young."
He had recovered from his shock and realized that he had just been too excited.
He admitted his mistake, and Su Wenyuan didn't press him further, but she still kept it in mind because Su Yuan not only showed surprise but also mentioned Marquis Anle.
"Why do you insist on seeing me?" Su Wenyuan asked.
Su Yuan cautiously probed, "Is Prince Chen's eye really healed?"
Su Wenyuan nodded and said, "Yes, if that's all you wanted to ask, why did you come over? There's someone at the door to answer you."
Su's already uncontrollable half of her face began to twitch violently, and her gaze toward Su Wenyuan became increasingly complicated.
"What illness are you going to have this time?" Su Wenyuan looked at him warily.
His mouth is crooked and his eyes are slanted, and now he's smoking too?
Are they trying to extort money from people at their doorstep?
Su Yuan's feelings at this moment were indescribable; he felt that he had made a terrible mistake.
He didn't take Sheng Jingyu seriously back then, nor did he think much of Su Wenyuan, which is why he married Su Wenyuan to him.
The reality was completely different from what he had imagined. Seeing Su Wenyuan getting better and better, Su Yuan was filled with regret.
He insisted on seeing Su Wenyuan, hoping to confirm the news and then beg for her forgiveness.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?" Su Yuan asked hesitantly.
