No one expected that Deng Yi would actually know Xiao Yuerou.
These two people have never had any interaction.
“Or maybe it’s not Xiao Yuerou,” Xiao Yanchu added.
Su Ruojin understood. It was said that Xiao Yuerou was now pregnant and was resting peacefully at the Princess's residence. She also had no grudges against Mu Yao.
If it's not Xiao Yuerou, then there's only one person left.
Wei Xuelin!
When did Deng Yi establish a connection with the Duke of Dingguo's mansion?
In the imperial court, Deng Yi was never seen getting close to anyone from the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.
Sometimes Deng Yi's opinions differed from those of the Duke of Dingguo's faction, and some even felt that Deng Yi was at odds with the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.
"You really can't judge a book by its cover," Su Ruojin said. "Let's go to Qingya Garden."
"Ah Jin, don't go..." Xiao Yanchu wanted to persuade her, but seeing the look in Su Ruojin's eyes, he understood and sighed inwardly.
"Then you stay behind me."
"good."
Before Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu could even head to Qingya Garden.
Steward Zhang came to report, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Young Master Shen requests an audience."
The two looked at each other, realizing that Shen Yu must have something urgent to do at the Prince's residence so late.
"Let him in."
Shen Yu suddenly knelt down, his face full of anxiety, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please save Mu Yao."
Seeing Shen Yu like this surprised both Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu.
Shen Yu had always been nonchalant and didn't stand on ceremony with Xiao Yanchu, so what was wrong with him today?
"Get up and talk. What exactly happened?" Xiao Yanchu gestured to Steward Zhang, who was standing nearby, to help Shen Yu up.
Shen Yu looked somewhat annoyed. "It's all my fault. I should have stopped Mu Yao back then."
Su Ruojin raised her eyelids slightly, so what happened between Shen Yu and Su Muyao that she didn't know about?
Shen Yu didn't wait for them to ask any more questions and said directly, "Back then, Mu Yao didn't really want to marry Deng Yi and enter the Deng family. Instead, she felt that Deng Yi was a bit strange and wanted to risk her life to find evidence that could save the Su family."
It turned out that after Su Ruojin and the others went to Xiaoyue, Deng Yi had invited Su Muyao to go boating on the lake or to a teahouse. Su Muyao mostly refused, but she couldn't resist Deng Yi's enthusiasm and with the encouragement of Madam Su, she went out two or three times.
Later, the Su family fell into trouble and were convicted of treason. Shen Yu wanted to rescue the Su family but was powerless to do so. He could only visit the Su family members in prison, hoping to find some clues to help them clear their name.
At that time, Madam Su asked Shen Yu if he could rescue Su Muyao.
The only solution Madam Su could think of was to have Shen Yu take Su Muyao as a concubine, hoping to save as many people as possible.
Shen Yu understood Madam Su's good intentions and naturally would not refuse.
Using his connections, he secured a private moment with Su Muyao and conveyed Madam Su's wishes: if Muyao agreed, he would immediately bring her home.
Unexpectedly, Su Muyao directly refused, "Thank you for your kindness, Prince Shen, but I cannot go with you. Don't worry, someone will come to pick me up. That is my chance to clear the name of the Su family, and I cannot let it go."
If Mu Yao fails to help the Su family escape this calamity, I beg Prince Shen to bury my body with the Su family members in the future, even if it's in a mass grave.
I, Su Muyao, was born a member of the Su family, and I will die a member of the Su family.
After saying this, Su Muyao knelt down before Shen Yu, "Muyao thanks Prince Shen."
Shen Yu hurriedly helped her up, his face full of shock and confusion.
He understood every word Su Muyao said, but he couldn't understand what they meant when put together.
Who will come to pick her up?
And why is this an opportunity to clear the Su family's name?
It wasn't that Shen Yu looked down on Su Muyao, but she was indeed the second young lady of the Su family. To put it bluntly, she was just an adopted daughter. Even the Su family's enemies hidden in the shadows mostly wouldn't take her seriously.
How can she save the Su family?
