"Miss, there is something I don't understand."
"Just say it."
Ye Jintang replied.
"If Minister Su cares so much about Su He, why did he have an illegitimate daughter? Isn't that a contradiction?"
Taking this opportunity, Green Lotus voiced her doubts.
Ye Jintang remained calm in response, saying to Lühe, "Actually, it's not contradictory."
"People have multiple facets, not to mention that Su He's maternal family is also related to the imperial concubine in the palace."
"Even if it's just for the sake of this relationship, Minister Su will make a big fuss about it to save face."
Green Lotus nodded, and immediately understood what Ye Jintang meant.
"Miss, what about Miss Su..."
"Do you still remember the pills Su Xuerou gave you when you were arrested last time?"
"Remember."
Last time, thanks to her young mistress's timely appearance and subsequent treatment, otherwise... Green Lotus felt a little scared when she thought about what happened back then.
Wait... the pills...
Green Lotus seemed to realize something, her eyes widening, "Miss, are you saying that Miss Su's poisoning is related to the Marquis's mansion?"
Ye Jintang nodded, which was taken as tacit agreement with Lü He's words.
"Based on my current diagnosis, the poison that Su He ingested is the same one that you previously ingested."
"It was only because Minister Su sent him here that Su He's life was truly in danger."
Whatever the reason for Su He's incident, the Minister's Mansion and even the Imperial Concubine in the palace will exert pressure, making the situation even more complicated.
"If that's the case, Miss, then what's next..."
"They will come to us on their own; we just need to wait."
Ye Jintang said unhurriedly, "After all, I didn't say I wanted to find out who was behind this."
After this explanation, Green Lotus suddenly understood much more about the situation.
"Miss, you really have a way."
In the following two days, just as Ye Jintang had predicted, she did not receive any news of Huishengtang being shut down or that Ye Jintang had gotten into trouble, which made Su Xuerou somewhat anxious.
Upon seeing Cui'er return from outside, Su Xuerou asked anxiously, "How did it go? What did my father say?"
Cui'er shook her head, equally perplexed by the matter.
"Second Madam, the master means that you should not get involved; he will handle this matter."
"What?" Su Xuerou was stunned. Her father's attitude was clearly not like this when she went to the Minister's mansion after the incident.
But now, why am I being told not to get involved? I thought of the flaws Jiang Mubai pointed out when he questioned me that day.
Su Xuerou suddenly felt a sense of panic without any reason. She had a vague feeling that something bad was about to happen.
"What about Huishengtang? Or has Ye Jintang been dealt with?"
Su Xuerou tried her best to suppress her unease and pressed Cui'er for an answer.
“No…” Cui’er shook her head. “After I returned from the Minister’s residence, I went to the perimeter of Huisheng Hall to check. Strangely, Huisheng Hall was operating normally and there was nothing wrong with it.”
"As for Ye Jintang, it's the same." Cui'er said, carefully observing Su Xuerou's reaction, and suddenly became a little nervous.
"how so!"
In a fit of anger, Su Xuerou slammed a teacup on the table onto the ground.
"Could it be that Ye Jintang has dodged it again this time?"
“No…” The more Su Xuerou thought about it, the more suspicious the matter seemed. At that time, it was her father who led people and carried Su He’s body to the Huisheng Hall where Ye Jintang worked to demand an explanation.
There shouldn't be no reaction at all, unless...
Have you inquired about what happened after my father returned?
Cui'er nodded hurriedly, afraid of being implicated in Su Xuerou's anger.
"I have inquired about this matter, but there is no information available."
"What happened?"
When Jiang Mubai arrived at the courtyard where Su Xuerou was, he heard something fall to the ground.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Su Xuerou's expression instantly changed, and she quickly informed Jiang Mubai of what Cui'er had reported.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mubai's expression inevitably turned serious.
"You mean there's something fishy about this?"
“Brother Mu Bai, I believe something must have happened to Father during his time at Huisheng Hall.”
"I want to... go to Huishengtang to find out what's going on."
Su Xuerou looked at Jiang Mubai, tentatively probing his attitude toward these matters.
Jiang Mubai's face was cold, and he, like Su Xuerou, was aware of the seriousness of the matter.
He remained silent for a long time before speaking to Su Xuerou.
"Well, you are Su He's half-sister after all, so it's not too strange that you went to handle this matter. But there's one thing..." Jiang Mubai looked at Su Xuerou, still somewhat worried, and gave her further instructions.
"We must not be as reckless as before."
Jiang Mubai was ultimately wary of the token in Ye Jintang's possession.
Su Xuerou breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving permission. If Jiang Mubai had refused outright, she feared she would have had to put in even more effort.
This situation has given her the perfect opportunity to make trouble for Ye Jintang. Let's see what that bitch has to say this time.
"Brother Mu Bai, don't worry, I will be more careful in these matters."
The next day, Su Xuerou headed towards Huisheng Hall, but she didn't go in immediately. Putting aside everything else, the large wolfhound alone made Su Xuerou feel uneasy.
"Second Madam, shall we go in now?"
Seeing that Su Xuerou had been lingering outside for a long time without showing any intention of going in, Cui'er, who was beside her, couldn't help but ask.
Su Xuerou glanced at Cui'er, looking even more irritated. "Shut up."
"Logically, that person should have arrived with their men by now, so why are they still nowhere to be seen?"
Su Xuerou scolded Cui'er and muttered to herself about the current situation.
"Second Madam, are you referring to that side...?"
Cui'er suddenly pointed in another direction, her expression slightly excited, and she became even more incredulous when she saw the other person's face clearly.
"That...that person is the Sixth Princess?"
On the day Su He had her accident, the Imperial Concubine sent people to the Minister's residence, and the Sixth Princess was among them. How did she end up here?
Could it be...? Cui'er looked at Su Xuerou again and saw that she looked confident of victory.
It is clear that the current events are closely related to her.
"They've finally arrived. It wasn't for nothing that I waited here for so long."
Su Xuerou breathed a sigh of relief, and only felt slightly at ease when she saw Ye Qing appear.
"Second Madam, is this what you said to the Sixth Princess that day?"
"Otherwise what?"
Su Xuerou snorted coldly. After what she had experienced over the past period, she was still a little unsure about directly dealing with Ye Jintang.
While her father was seeking retribution from Ye Jintang, the Sixth Princess was another matter entirely. In fact, Su He could be considered the Sixth Princess's cousin.
In this way, she would have a greater chance of dealing with Ye Jintang.
