Chapter 031 Husband, do you believe me?

The man laughed when he heard this: "Oh, do you think I will be threatened by you?"

"It's not a threat, but a reminder." Su Qian straightened his clothes stained with his own blood and continued, "Since you knew my secret, you have been in the same boat with me. You discovered the whereabouts of the remnants of the previous dynasty but concealed them without reporting them. How do you think His Majesty will deal with the aristocratic family?"

In the past, Su Qian would never have had the courage to capture someone from aristocratic family, but the longer he stayed in jail, the more uneasy he felt.

He had a feeling that if he did not take action, death would be the only thing waiting for him.

The man saw through Su Qian's pretentious attitude, a cold light flashed in his eyes, but his smile became even more brilliant.

"Okay, just wait, you will receive good news in two days." The man did not refute Su Qian, and left leisurely after saying this.

Su Qian looked at his back, and for a moment he didn't know whether his last gamble was right or wrong.

Night, Prince Ning's Mansion.

Su Wan'er sat against the window, staring at the dark night outside with empty eyes.

That night, Princess Ning exposed all her disguises and told her that Zong Zheng Lianqi already knew about the matter and would send her a letter of divorce after her father's case was concluded.

Su Wan'er wanted to see Zong Zheng Lianqi but was not allowed. She was locked up. She didn't know how many days she had been there. Her mind was in a mess and there was no difference between night and day to her.

She knew very well that she had let Qing'er's family down, as well as Prince Ning's Mansion.

If possible, Su Wan'er hoped that she had never gone back for her mother's birthday, and had not heard what her father said when he was drunk.

It turns out that her father was relying on his relationship with Prince Ning's Mansion to make a fortune. It turns out that Qing'er, who was treated as a biological sister by Zong Zheng Lianqi, was indirectly killed by her own father. It turns out that her meeting with Zong Zheng Lianqi was just a trap set by her father, and she and her husband were both pawns of her father.

After her father sobered up, he said that if she told the truth to the people in Prince Ning's Mansion, Prince Ning's Mansion would never let the Su family go, and would also let Zong Zheng Lianqi divorce her.

Out of protection for her father and fear of leaving Zongzheng Lianqi, Su Wan'er did something against her conscience for the first time.

She has been locked up recently, and the servants she brought from her mother's home have been transferred away. The people who are responsible for her food and daily life are all sent by Princess Ning.

Su Wan'er wanted to ask about her father and mother's situation, but no one paid any attention to her.

Tormented by guilt and anxiety, and with little appetite, Su Wan'er became extremely thin in just a few days. She looked like a dying patient who could be blown away by a gust of wind.

Thinking of her current predicament, Su Wan'er wanted to cry, but her tears had already dried up. No matter how sad she was, her eyes were only sore and painful, and not a single tear fell.

At this moment, the door suddenly creaked and someone walked in.

Su Wan'er didn't look back, thinking it was a servant delivering dinner, until a hoarse voice sounded: "Wan'er..."

Su Wan'er's body stiffened and she turned her head tremblingly. Only when she saw Zong Zheng Lianqi's haggard face under the candlelight did she realize that this was not an illusion.

"Husband!" Su Wan'er stood up and staggered towards him.

Zong Zheng Lianqi looked at his wife with complicated eyes, with mixed feelings in his heart, but in the end he still opened his arms.

The two hugged each other tightly, as if embracing a lost treasure, and no one spoke first for a while.

After a long time, Zong Zheng Lianqi let go of Su Wan'er first, holding her face and saying distressedly, "Wan'er, you've lost weight."

Su Wan'er almost choked up, because looking at Zong Zheng Lianqi's condition, she knew that he had not had a good time these days.

The young man who had always been full of vigor and vitality in her eyes now had bloodshot eyes, dark circles under his eyes, and stubble on his chin, looking almost like a homeless person on the street.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Su Wan'er apologized with red eyes.

Zong Zheng Lianqi shook his head: "It's not your fault, and you didn't do anything bad."

Both of them knew that Su Qian was the culprit, but they tacitly kept silent.

Su Wan'er pulled Zong Zheng Lianqi to sit down, poured him a cup of cool tea, lowered her eyes, and said, "My husband, just tell me what you want to ask me."

Her parents-in-law had always forbidden the two to meet each other. Now that Zong Zheng Lianqi could enter her room unhindered, it must have been with the consent of the prince and princess.

Zongzheng Lianqi raised his head and drank the cold tea, holding the cup with a wry smile, "Wan'er, you are still so smart."

Su Wan'er picked up the edge of her clothes with her fingers and asked, "Is it related to my father?"

Zong Zheng Lianqi nodded and said with difficulty: "Your father refused to give out all the students who cheated. The emperor couldn't close the case, let alone give an explanation to other students. I heard that your father has an account book that records bribes and bribes. If we can find that account book, things will be easy."

Prince Ning felt that he had not properly supervised his son's marriage, which had caused Zong Zhengxiao so much trouble. He wanted to atone for the entire Prince Ning's Mansion.

After finding out about the account book, he told his wife and then arranged for his son to ask his daughter-in-law if she knew the location of the account book.

Zong Zheng Lianqi was also locked up. At first, he was not happy to hear his parents' request and retorted, "You all want to divorce me, so why should I help you?"

"On what grounds?" Prince Ning laughed in anger. "This matter was caused by her Su family. Is there any problem in letting her solve it? Zongzheng Lianqi, love is the only thing on your mind. You are so stupid that you can't tell right from wrong, right?"

Zong Zheng Lianqi said angrily, "Father, you are so good at saying that. Then go and ask it yourself. I won't go anyway."

Prince Ning said, "Okay, I'll go. If I can't get the answer, I'll beat her until she tells me the location of the account book. As for whether she'll be dead or alive after being beaten, I can't guarantee it."

After the stern threats, Prince Ning said, "Don't forget the cause of Qing'er's death, Zong Zheng Lianqi. If you don't avenge Qing'er, will you still have the face to see her in the underworld?"

After much persuasion, Zong Zheng Lianqi finally agreed to come.

After hearing what her husband said, Su Wan'er looked up at him, "Husband, do you believe me?"

Zong Zheng Lianqi nodded, "Of course I believe it. I will always believe in my Wan'er."

Although Zong Zheng Lianqi was shocked when he learned about Su Wan'er's true identity and the cause of Qing'er's death, his feelings for Su Wan'er were shaken.

But later he realized that Su Wan'er could not decide his identity, and she was not the one who did the bad things. He believed that her love for him was real, so even now, Zong Zheng Lianqi was still willing to protect her.

Su Wan'er could tell that Zong Zheng Lianqi was not lying. She was deeply moved, but she still shook her head and gave an answer that disappointed Zong Zheng Lianqi.

"I'm sorry, my father didn't tell me where the account book was hidden."

Zong Zheng Lianqi asked: "Hasn't I revealed any clues to you? Think about it again."
