She wouldn't let the Su family off so easily after they were hurt; she would settle the score with them sooner or later.
The next day, around noon, Xiao Yanchu arrived and brought Su Ruojin the latest news.
"Wei Yinshuang went home and made a huge scene, which caused the Duke of Dingguo to go to the Empress Dowager today to try to annul Wei Yinshuang's marriage to Prince Qin. He was scolded by the Empress Dowager and kicked out of Cining Palace."
"That old nanny wasn't from the Empress Dowager's palace, she was from Consort Chun's palace. But she accidentally fell into the well and died this morning. And two palace maids accidentally fell into the lake and died last night."
Su Ruojin sneered after hearing this.
What a coincidence that he died.
With this person dead, the trail naturally went cold.
In Consort Chun's palace?
Do you think she's stupid?
Mu Yao and Yao Lan have never had any conflict. If Yao Lan really wanted to make a move, she should have targeted Mu Yao. Why bother with all this?
"Also, the mute palace maid who serves Consort Chun had interactions with Duke Dingguo and Wei Yingshuang yesterday."
"A mute palace maid?"
"It's that Aya. She made a mistake and Yaolan poisoned her with medicine, making her mute."
Aya!
Su Ruojin suddenly remembered Dapu and the Fragrant Skin Powder from before.
Is Aya really just an ordinary palace maid?
"You think Yao Lan was behind it?"
Su Ruojin understood Xiao Yanchu's meaning; there were indeed still suspicious points about the Duke of Dingguo and Wei Yingshuang yesterday.
But why is Yaolan targeting Wei Yingshuang?
There is no conflict of interest between the two.
Su Ruojin couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Xiao Yanchu touched his nose, unsure whether he should tell A Jin the truth.
Seeing Xiao Yanchu's expression and his reluctance to answer her questions, Su Ruojin knew that he was hiding something from her.
"What, is it inconvenient for the Regent to speak?"
Upon hearing that A Jin had even mentioned the Regent, Xiao Yanchu sighed and said, "Yao Lan is targeting Wei Yingshuang because... because she doesn't like her."
Don't like it?
Su Ruojin hadn't figured it out before because she was caught up in the relationship between Bei Li and Da Chu, but Xiao Yanchu's words instantly enlightened her.
I see.
Su Ruojin looked at Xiao Yanchu with a half-smile, "Regent, others are called femme fatales, shouldn't you be called a femme fatale?"
A handsome man is a source of trouble?
What's the meaning?
Xiao Yanchu quickly realized that Ah Jin's creation of this term was indeed... well, apt.
He hurriedly explained, "Ah Jin, I'm innocent! I didn't do anything."
He is indeed innocent. He did nothing. What he wants to do is none of other people's business.
“Wei Yingshuang has provoked Yaolan many times.” Xiao Yanchu told Su Ruojin all the information he had gathered.
That makes sense.
Princess Yaolan traveled a long way to the Great Chu, intending to marry Xiao Yanchu, but by a twist of fate, she became Xiao Chenyi's concubine.
Already harboring resentment, it's no wonder that Wei Yingshuang was tricked by Yao Lan after repeatedly provoking her.
only......
Su Ruojin asked, "Qin Wang's status in Bei Li is second only to the King of Bei Li. Just because of Yao Lan's words, he would travel thousands of miles to Da Chu?"
It seems rather farcical that someone who has risen to a high position of power would come to the Great Chu just because of jealousy and rivalry among women.
Although marrying a princess is no small matter, it is certainly not a big deal for the Northern King, who has had countless princesses.
Xiao Yanchu smiled at Su Ruojin and sighed, "As expected of A-Jin. If I were Qin Wang, I would have come too."
Su Ruojin understood.
