Chapter 148 Settling Accounts with Her



Su Xuerou frowned and immediately questioned Cui'er, "Are you saying that the disappearance of those spies is all related to Su He's mother?"

"This... Second Madam, I am not sure about this matter either."

"What do you mean 'can't be sure'? What did I tell you before? I told you to keep a close eye on things and to tell me if anything went wrong. But look at you now..."

The threat of Ye Jintang has not yet been eliminated, and now there is another one: the wife of a high-ranking official.

wrong.

Su Xuerou's expression suddenly changed. She remembered that a few days ago, the Minister's wife originally went to confront Ye Jintang, but then left directly, and Ye Jintang and her Huishengtang were all unharmed.

Does this prove that the Minister's wife's unusual behavior is related to Ye Jintang?

She had to find a way to leave Ye Jintang with no chance of recovery.

Inside the Rebirth Hall.

Su He still felt uneasy. She was, after all, the legitimate daughter of the Minister's mansion, yet she had to hide here.

To her, Su Xuerou was nothing more than a lowly illegitimate daughter; what right did she have to be arrogant in front of her?

This time, however, she not only fell for Su Xuerou's scheme, but also nearly lost her life.

She couldn't tolerate this!

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Su He secretly disguised herself and slipped out of Huishengtang.

When Lühe brought food to Suhe, she found the house empty.

Realizing that Su He was missing, she quickly reported the matter to Ye Jintang.

"Miss, something terrible has happened! Su He has disappeared!"

Ye Jintang, who was in the space, frowned slightly. Even though she had told Su He about the consequences, she still couldn't stop it.

So be it.

Her only responsibility was to bring Su He to her senses; what Su He did next was Su He's own choice.

"Green Lotus, have Zhou Zheng take some men to the Minister's residence and tell Minister Su and his wife about Su He's departure."

"This servant understands." Having received the order, Lühe dared not hesitate and immediately carried out Ye Jintang's instructions.

Su Xuerou, on the other hand, felt increasingly uneasy.

"Second Madam, this is what the Minister's wife asked me to give to you."

The maid handed a letter to Su Xuerou.

"The Minister's wife?" Su Xuerou hesitated slightly as she took the letter, feeling a strong sense of unease as she thought about what Cui'er had said.

When Su Xuerou opened the letter and saw its contents, she was so frightened that she shuddered.

This is actually Su He's handwriting.

Logically, Su He should have been dead for several days, but there has been no news of her since that day.

Even when she tried to inquire about this matter from her father, she only received ambiguous replies.

Now... Su Xuerou clutched the letter tightly in her hand; she had to get to the bottom of this.

The place mentioned in the letter is a restaurant in the capital.

Cui'er looked worried when she learned that Su Xuerou had obtained the letter.

He tried to persuade Su Xuerou with words, "Second Madam, could this be someone else's conspiracy? You must not go."

"This handwriting is undoubtedly Su He's!" Su Xuerou said with a mix of resentment and determination.

“Cui’er, do you think the reason why my father and the Minister’s wife didn’t harm Ye Jintang is very likely because Su He is not dead?”

Cui'er was stunned after hearing Su Xuerou's words.

"Second Madam, you examined her that day, and Miss Su was indeed dead. Even if Ye Jintang knew medicine, he couldn't bring her back to life."

If Ye Jintang really had such abilities, wouldn't they be doomed?

"That's precisely why I want to go there in person."

Upon receiving the news, the Minister's wife rushed to Huishengtang and went straight to find Ye Jintang.

"Miss Ye, why did He'er disappear when she was perfectly fine?"

Upon meeting Ye Jintang for the first time, the Minister's wife asked him a question in return.

“Madam Minister, Su He has legs, and you shouldn’t be asking me for the answer to why she disappeared.”

If it were anyone else, the Minister's wife would definitely be furious if she spoke to her like that. But now, Ye Jintang not only saved her daughter's life, but also helped her find the mole in the mansion.

Both morally and logically, the Minister's wife should not do this.

She lowered her head, and after thinking for a moment, asked Ye Jintang again, "Miss Ye, does He'er know about Su Xuerou?"

Ye Jintang nodded.

The Minister's wife quickly realized what was happening and thanked Ye Jintang, saying, "Thank you for telling me, Miss Ye."

After saying this, the Minister's wife led her people toward the Marquis's residence.

Unexpectedly, not long after the Minister's wife left, Minister Su arrived in a hurry with his men.

Their purpose was no different from that of the Minister's wife.

As soon as Minister Su arrived at Huishengtang, he questioned Ye Jintang, "Miss Ye, I only gave in because you treated He'er. Now, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

"Your Excellency, what are you doing..." Green Lotus was about to speak when Ye Jintang stopped her with a look.

"What explanation does Minister Su want?"

Ye Jintang asked rhetorically towards the visitor.

"You said you would ensure He'er's safety, but now..."

Minister Su snorted coldly, his face showing even more dissatisfaction.

"The person has indeed woken up. As for where Su He went, that's her business."

Before Minister Su could reply, Ye Jintang added, "However, I must remind Minister Su that your wife was here just now."

"What?"

Minister Su was stunned when he heard this.

Then he realized that this was Huisheng Hall. Given how much his wife cared about Su He, there must be only one purpose for her to come here.

Everything is fine here.

Minister Su asked Ye Jintang almost subconsciously.

“My wife also knows about He’er’s situation.”

"The Minister's wife is Su He's mother, and she has the right to know what's going on here."

That's what he said, but Minister Su still felt it was inappropriate.

Especially during this period, he was completely unaware of these things.

"Then may I ask Miss Ye, do you know where my wife went after leaving Huishengtang?"

Su Shangshu hesitated, his gaze fixed on Ye Jintang, as if trying to catch some suspicious emotion.

But the result was undoubtedly disappointing for Minister Su.

"The Marquis's residence, Su Xuerou."

Ye Jintang's next sentence shocked Minister Su even more.

Based on this, could it be that He'er's poisoning is related to the Marquis's mansion, or even Su Xuerou?

Minister Su originally wanted to get more information from Ye Jintang about this point.

But Ye Jintang left immediately after saying these words.

The guards following Minister Su were quite annoyed by this scene.

"My lord, Miss Ye's departure is clearly a sign that she doesn't respect you. We happened to bring men with us, so why don't we take advantage of this..."

Before the guard could finish speaking, Minister Su interrupted him sharply.

Although this clinic is just a medical center, it has already become involved with that prince.

It's not that easy to move.
