When Master Su and Mu Jiuniang saw who had barged in, their faces turned deathly pale, as if they had been plastered with putty!
There wasn't a trace of color in it!
His eyes were filled with terror, followed by a deathly despair.
Master Su originally wanted to reprimand them loudly, saying that this was a private residence and that they could sue anyone for trespassing without permission!
But when he saw the group of people rushing in, his mouth gaped open, and he couldn't make a sound; he became completely mute!
Like Mu Jiuniang, he didn't recognize all those people, but anyone who lived in the capital would have basic common sense. Those dressed as officials, especially those who exuded an aura of righteousness and authority and could intimidate people from several feet away, were no small figures!
They are not people we can afford to mess with!
Deep down, for no reason at all, I just want to kneel down in admiration!
If the two of them hadn't gritted their teeth and persevered, not wanting to embarrass themselves, they probably would have collapsed to the ground long ago.
What else is there to say at this point!
Marquis Anping was there, coldly watching them. Didn't that say it all?
It turns out that Marquis Anping had suspected them long ago and had already begun making plans!
It's estimated that this betting game is also related to Marquis Anping!
Master Su regretted it. If he hadn't been greedy and impulsive, he wouldn't have been provoked into this mess by a few words. If he hadn't been so suspicious and had communicated properly with his mother, he probably wouldn't have fallen for someone else's trick!
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now!
However, he resented Mu Jiu Niang, thinking that if she had told him the truth earlier, there wouldn't have been so many untold stories.
Why keep it a secret?
Mu Jiuniang was also aggrieved; she hadn't told him all for his own good!
When he entered the manor, he was so young and knew nothing. If he told the shrewd people in the manor, wouldn't everything be exposed?
It won't be as simple as just being kicked out!
Could a little kid with such an unstable temperament reveal a shocking secret?
Later, I stopped talking about it because my son had already secured his position, and the old Marquis of Anping had passed away. With no more obstacles, I gradually felt that everything was fine, so there was no need for it anymore!
If we were to tell others, it might become a psychological burden for my son. He would always be thinking that if he kept it bottled up for too long, what if he accidentally let it slip and his friends overheard it? That would be the end of him!
She never expected that after so many years, these people would still have their doubts and would continue to investigate in secret, and in the end, they actually found out!
In that brief moment, Mu Jiuniang thought about many things. In the end, she felt that her son was useless and incompetent. Despite her desperate efforts to fight for him, he didn't know how to bide his time and only cared about enjoying himself!
She was certain that if her son hadn't been so foolish as to meddle in things he shouldn't have, and hadn't framed Miss Su, he wouldn't have been investigated!
So many years have passed, and nothing has happened since!
The series of incidents that happened before and after the young lady's return, doesn't that speak for itself?
Master Su realized that he couldn't escape, so he remained silent with a dejected expression, as if to say, "Do as you please."
Judging from the current situation, what else is there to be confused about!
These people have been lying in wait here for a long time, just waiting for them to confess what bad things they've done!
Didn't you see someone next to you holding a pen and paper, looking like they were about to write something down?
Their conversation was probably recorded word for word!
Further discussion is pointless!
Anyway, they're definitely going to jail!
Knowing that the situation was hopeless, the mother and son did not struggle much and obediently followed. As for where they went, they were definitely taken to a dark room.
This was not kept secret at all, and many people stopped to watch along the way. After hearing what had happened, they all pointed and whispered about the mother and child, saying unpleasant things, and some even threw things at them.
This matter was so significant that it spread throughout the capital in an instant. However, there were unusually few versions available this time, presumably because someone had already leaked the true version.
Even the people in the palace were shocked. Now, the palace staff have also intervened, demanding a thorough and strict investigation, and that the matter not be easily overlooked!
The mother and son have ushered in another major turning point in their lives, but this time it's not good luck that's coming their way!
The news was spreading like wildfire throughout the streets and alleys. Everyone asked, "Have you heard about it? How is it going now?" And then they'd say, "This kind of person should be severely punished and beheaded!"
The matter at the Marquis of Anping's residence was naturally known to everyone there; there was no way around it, the commotion was too great!
It's hard not to know, especially since it's our own business. If we didn't care, it would be unreasonable!
Even when Master Su's stronghold was wiped out, many people went to the wall to watch, and they felt particularly pleased with the sight!
The master of the mansion didn't interfere much. It was a rare occasion, so he just glanced at it and pretended not to see anything, as long as it didn't cause any trouble.
Su Mingyue and her daughter from Beiyuan were not in a good mood. They also went over to see what was going on and heard the gist of the matter. Their hearts were heavy!
They didn't feel the same sense of smug satisfaction as the people in the manor; they just had a premonition that they would be the next targets!
Su Erye's secret involvement in framing the young lady was discovered long ago, so they were probably already suspected as well. People probably already have all the evidence and are ready to deal with them after dealing with Su Erye!
Now that they've dealt with Second Master Su, they'll be next!
Thinking about this, how could my heart not panic!
This is very similar to Su Nanxi's approach. After this woman returned, her personality changed drastically and she is completely different from before. She now enjoys tormenting people in all sorts of ways!
That's so inhumane!
If we don't make a decision now, we can only obediently wait for Su Nanxi to take action!
So, the mother and daughter began their tense conspiracy that night.
With Mu Jiuniang down, we can't rely on her for help. The only option now is to escape, but we can't escape with both of them at the same time, or we'll be discovered!
Finally, a decision was made: Su Mingyue would first escape from the Marquis's mansion, and then, according to the token given by Luo Xiaoniang, find the last person she could rely on. If none of them were reliable, then she would go to find Geng Yuepeng!
Although Luo Xiaoniang didn't know whether Geng Yuepeng already knew the whole truth, she had no other choice but to gamble again. She felt that she had always been lucky and should be able to win the gamble!
So, taking advantage of the darkness and the wind, Luo Xiaoniang helped Su Mingyue tidy up and then helped her escape from the Marquis's mansion.
She stayed behind, knowing that things might not be easy, but for her daughter's sake, she gritted her teeth and persevered.
If two people try to escape, they'll be too conspicuous, and in the end, neither of them might escape!
However, Luo Xiaoniang didn't have much hope, and even had a premonition that things would get tough for everyone in the future.
In the darkness, the night was eerily quiet. The chirping of insects was comforting, but Luo Xiaoniang just couldn't fall asleep!
After thinking about it a lot, she finally smiled and felt it was all worth it!
"Never go back to the capital!"
