"It's simple, because he's too perfect."
Deng Yi appeared as a hero saving the beauty, rescuing Mu Yao after the flower thief appeared.
Later, at the horse farm, he was willing to get injured himself to save Su Muyao. On the night Wei Yinshuang had an accident, it was Deng Yi who came to Muyao's rescue.
Even after the Su family was imprisoned for treason, he was willing to do anything to rescue Su Muyao, even at the cost of defying public opinion and jeopardizing his own future, just to marry her as his legal wife.
It can be said that Deng Yi appeared at every crucial moment for Mu Yao, saving her a total of four times.
Some people fall in love at first sight, while others are deeply devoted, but these things mostly require mutual commitment from both parties.
If Deng Yi's initial attempt to climb the social ladder by marrying into the Su family was somewhat understandable, then his unwavering determination afterward makes him seem too perfect.
Su Ruojin asked the Su family members and Shen Yu in prison. They said that during the time they went to Xiaoyue and the Su family members went to prison, they had not heard anything about Deng Yi and Su Muyao. In fact, the two had not even met many times.
Moreover, before going to Xiaoyue, Su Ruojin had asked Su Muyao and learned that she did not have any feelings for Deng Yi that made her determined to marry him.
When she visited Su Muyao at the Deng residence and asked her if she was willing to marry Deng Yi, Su Muyao showed no trace of the shyness a young girl would have when discussing marriage, nor any deep affection for Deng Yi.
Something about the whole thing felt off.
Soon, the investigation results came out: the groom who was responsible for feeding the mare that Su Muyao was riding had fallen into the river and drowned one day while drunk, and the mare later died of illness.
The three womanizers who blocked Su Muyao's path in the street had already been sentenced to beheading according to the law, and the execution had been carried out.
They're all dead, and they died so cleanly, without any problems. What a coincidence!
What exactly is Deng Yi trying to do?
Or maybe I'm just overthinking it?
Su Ruojin will not directly ask Deng Yi now, as she does not have sufficient evidence.
Deng Yi could have a million reasons to defend himself against these speculations, but if he were not careful, he might alert the enemy.
She waited and saw that if Deng Yi really had a problem, he would eventually show his true colors.
It shouldn't be too long.
But before Deng Yi could even show his true colors, news came that shocked the court.
Su Wenzhou escaped!
The court is now divided into two factions: one faction firmly believes that General Su's family would betray the country, while the other faction believes that the evidence is conclusive and there is no way to refute it.
The two factions argued to the point that they were waiting for Su Wenzhou to be brought back for interrogation.
But now that Su Wenzhou has fled, those who believe that General Su's mansion has betrayed the country are even more convinced that Su Wenzhou ran away because he felt guilty.
As a result, the calls for the court to convict the Su family grew louder, and even some officials who had previously hesitated began to believe that General Su's family had indeed colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country.
This news not only shocked the imperial court, but even surprised Su Ruojin.
Knowing her third brother as she does, she would never do something so foolish.
If he hadn't fled, he would have had a chance to explain himself. But now that Third Brother has fled, he can't explain himself no matter what.
Third Brother could never have known that his escape would lead to the deaths of all members of the Su family in the capital, and how the people of Great Chu would view it.
"Where did Third Brother escape from?"
"Yu Lin".
"I'm going to Yulin." Su Ruojin was about to set off immediately, but Xiao Yanchu stopped her, "Ajin, I'll send the guards. Don't go, you just got back..."
Su Ruojin packed her bags. "Yanchu, Third Brother isn't that kind of person. Something must have happened to him. How can I just sit here in the capital waiting for news? I have to go and bring Third Brother back."
Xiao Yanchu wanted to persuade her further, but Su Ruojin stopped what she was doing, looked at him, and said, word by word, "Yanchu, you know me. I have never been the Su Ruojin who hides under someone else's wing."
The Su family is in trouble, and my third brother is in trouble. I am a daughter of the Su family, and I cannot turn a blind eye to this. I cannot rely on you to do all this for me.
I believe you have the ability, but I really don't want to be someone who depends on others for survival, and just stay in the city foolishly waiting for news.
Trust me, I can protect myself.
Looking into Su Ruojin's determined eyes, Xiao Yanchu could no longer bring himself to say anything to dissuade her.
Yes, his Ah Jin always knows what she wants and what she wants to do, and no one can stop her.
