Following the direction the nanny pointed, the Minister's wife indeed saw Su He talking to a guard.
"He'er?"
The Minister's wife called out to the person standing to the side.
Su He was startled, and her eyes widened when she saw the person's face clearly. "Mother... Mother?"
"How did you end up here?"
The Minister's wife quickly stepped forward and embraced Su He, her voice choked with sobs.
"He'er, I'm so glad you're alright. I was so worried about you..."
If Ye Jintang hadn't told her that Su He wasn't dead, she wouldn't know how she would have gotten through it.
"Mother, I'm fine, and I even caught Su Xuerou!"
When Su Xuerou was mentioned, Su He's eyes were filled with resentment.
"This time, my daughter is determined to teach her a lesson!"
"No."
At this moment, the Minister's wife stopped Su He's behavior. If Su Xuerou were just a concubine's daughter in the mansion, no one else could say anything about how she was treated.
However, Su Xuerou's current status is still that of the second wife of the Marquis's mansion.
Even if Su Xuerou is to be dealt with, she must not be associated with Su He.
Otherwise, everything would have changed because of Su He's actions.
"Mother, why is this?"
Su He was puzzled by the Minister's wife's reply.
"He'er, leave Su Xuerou's matter to your mother. Why don't you go back to the manor with them first?"
This time, the Minister's wife not only brought her nanny, but also a lot of guards.
Su He was unwilling, but she eventually compromised at her mother's request.
Before leaving, Su He said to the Minister's wife, "Mother, we absolutely cannot let Su Xuerou off so easily."
The Minister's wife nodded.
After Su He left with the guards, she and her nanny entered the small wooden house.
Su He was unconscious due to her facial injury, and only Cui'er was awake at the moment.
The wooden cabin door was opened, and bright light shone in. Cui'er instinctively closed her eyes.
The nanny who was accompanying the Minister's wife went to check on Su Xuerou first, and then replied to the Minister's wife, "Madam, she is still breathing."
When Cui'er opened her eyes and saw that the person who came was the Minister's wife, not Su He, she was even more shocked.
"Madam..."
"Take both of them back with me."
The Minister's wife gave instructions to the people around her.
Along the way, Cui'er remained bound and cautiously glanced at the Minister's wife beside her.
"Tell me, whose idea was it to poison He'er?"
The Minister's wife asked in a stern voice.
Cui'er, who was already frightened, trembled upon hearing this and dared not hide it any longer.
"Yes...it's the Second Madam."
"The Second Madam said that the Eldest Miss and Ye Jintang used to have a bad relationship, but recently they have been seeing each other frequently. If something happens, Ye Jintang will not be able to escape."
The Minister's wife snorted coldly.
"Su Xuerou has such audacity!"
“Madam, I think the eldest young lady did the right thing. Keeping Su Xuerou around will only cause trouble. It’s better to deal with her now.”
"It can also help the young lady vent her anger at the same time."
The old woman beside him suggested.
The Minister's wife frowned. "If that's the case, I wouldn't have stopped He'er from taking action just now."
Her gaze fell on Su Xuerou's slashed face. "Deeper this wound, then throw her back to the Marquis's mansion."
"As for her... a woman's reputation is a very important matter."
Upon hearing this, the nanny immediately understood what the Minister's wife intended to do.
Doing this is even more painful than killing Su Xuerou directly.
Even without that incident, the gossip of others was enough to make Su Xuerou never be able to hold her head up again.
“Cui’er, you’ve left the Minister’s residence. I think you should know what you should and shouldn’t do without me having to remind you.”
The Minister's wife gave Cui'er a good scolding.
Cui'er's face was pale. Like the old woman, she also understood what the Minister's wife wanted to do.
She nodded hurriedly and replied, "Madam, from now on I will follow your lead."
The Minister's wife was very satisfied with Cui'er's tact.
Su Xuerou was simply left outside the Marquis's residence.
This immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Upon learning of this, the butler immediately went to report to Jiang Mubai.
At this moment, Jiang Mubai was talking to Old Madam Jiang.
"Mu Bai, what exactly happened recently? Why did Xue Rou disappear without a trace, and why is she involved with the eldest daughter of the Minister's mansion who was poisoned?"
Madam Jiang couldn't understand this matter at all.
Ever since she regained consciousness, nothing has gone smoothly for her.
Not to mention Old Madam Jiang, Jiang Mubai was equally irritable.
“Mother, this is a long story, but I will resolve it as soon as possible.”
Hearing Jiang Mubai's ambiguous answer, Old Madam Jiang expressed doubt, and then, as if thinking of something, asked Jiang Mubai again.
"Mu Bai, are you saying this is true?"
"The person who poisoned Su He is indeed related to Su Xuerou."
Jiang Mubai has nothing to do with it. For some reason, rumors have been circulating that Su Xuerou is the culprit lately.
It has even implicated him, but what Jiang Mubai didn't expect was that his own mother somehow found out about this.
The fact that it reached here means that the situation has become uncontrollable for him.
Whenever Jiang Mubai thought about this, he felt uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
Look at Su Xuerou's whereabouts, there's still no trace of her.
Just then, the butler's voice came from outside.
"Lord...Lord, something terrible has happened."
Jiang Mubai's expression instantly darkened, perhaps because too many things had happened recently.
He felt a little panicked whenever he heard that something was wrong.
Seeing that Jiang Mubai remained silent, Old Madam Jiang took the initiative to let the butler into the room, and then asked the butler, "Butler, explain yourself clearly, what exactly is wrong!"
"Reporting to the old lady, the second madam has returned."
"What!"
Upon hearing the butler's words, Jiang Mubai immediately stood up from his chair.
Where is she now?
"It's right outside the Marquis's residence, but..."
Before the steward could finish speaking, Jiang Mubai headed straight out of the mansion.
He also wanted to find Su Xuerou and ask her why these things had been exposed.
They even sent the Minister's wife and her entourage to the Marquis's residence.
Madam Jiang also came to the mansion.
By this time, a large crowd had already gathered outside the Marquis's residence.
Some people also recognized Su Xuerou's identity.
“Look at this man, his clothes are disheveled, he must have done something shameful.”
"I think this person looks like the second wife of this Marquis's mansion. I heard that Marquis Jiang treats his first wife this way because of her."
There's a saying, what's it again?
"This is definitely retribution for doing something wrong!"
When Jiang Mubai arrived, he heard the people talking. Before he could reprimand them, he saw Su Xuerou lying on the ground, her clothes disheveled.
This situation looks like something unfair has happened.
