Su Ruojin wanted to ask Mu Yao about some details, but when she turned around, she found that Mu Yao had already fallen into a deep sleep after drinking the porridge.
Her body had suffered a severe injury and was still in the recovery period. Sleeping more would be beneficial for her recovery, so Su Ruojin did not wake her up.
Shen Yu insisted on staying with Su Muyao.
Xiao Yanchu noticed that something was wrong with Shen Yu and looked at Su Ruojin questioningly. Su Ruojin nodded.
Xiao Yanchu was slightly surprised, then smiled.
That's fine too.
As for her reputation, with all the things Mu Yao risked her life to protect, she could easily be granted the title of Princess, and who would dare to say anything then?
As long as Shen Yu doesn't care, no one can hurt Mu Yao.
Back in her room, Su Ruojin shared her analysis with Xiao Yanchu.
"It seems that Deng Yi poisoned her to force her to hand over these things after discovering that Mu Yao had stolen them from him."
Xiao Yanchu nodded. "That should be the case, but why is Deng Yi so determined to marry Mu Yao?"
This is something that Su Ruojin has never been able to figure out.
Looking at the several forged letters in her hand, Su Ruojin wondered, "Perhaps Deng Yi just wanted to lower the Su family's guard against him so that he could put these letters in the Su family later?"
But it still doesn't quite make sense.
After all, Su Muyao no longer lived in the Su residence, and given what had happened before, the Su residence was much more secure, with servants having to go through layers of screening by the steward before being recruited.
Those who were not born into the family could no longer access the rooms of the masters of the Su family.
How should Deng Yi place these letters into the Su residence?
Or we'll have an answer once Su Muyao recovers a bit.
Three days later, Su Muyao had recovered a lot, but at first she was still embarrassed to let Shen Yu take care of her.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "I also bear responsibility for your current state. I have failed Madam Su's trust. If you don't let me take care of you, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life and never have peace of mind."
Su Muyao softened and agreed, deliberately ignoring the inexplicable emotion and excitement in her heart.
After a few days, Su Muyao got used to Shen Yu's care.
When Xiao Yanchu helped Su Ruojin in, they saw Shen Yu sitting on the edge of the bed, feeding Mu Yao ginseng soup in small spoonfuls.
A blush crept onto Mu Yao's ears, but she still cooperated, making the scene look very harmonious.
Su Ruojin didn't have her servants announce their arrival, and neither of them noticed that they had come in.
She and Xiao Yanchu watched as Shen Yu fed Mu Yao a small bowl of soup.
Shen Yu skillfully took out a handkerchief and wiped Mu Yao's lips. Mu Yao suddenly looked up and saw her older sister smiling at her, and her face visibly turned red.
"Elder sister, Your Highness, you've arrived."
Compared to Su Muyao's shyness, Shen Yu was quite generous and bowed to the two of them, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness and Your Highness."
"Young Master Shen, there's no need for such formalities. You've worked hard taking care of Mu Yao."
In the past few days, Yanluo has been telling Su Ruojin a lot of gossip about how carefully Shen Yu takes care of the second young lady.
It seems that Shen Yu really cares about Mu Yao.
Seeing Mu Yao's shy expression, Su Ruojin wouldn't make things difficult for her and directly asked, "Mu Yao, tell me what exactly happened?"
Hearing her older sister's question, Su Muyao straightened her expression and began to recount everything.
Besides what Shen Yu had mentioned before, once Su Muyao entered the Deng residence, Deng Yi treated her with great courtesy, and the servants in the residence also regarded her as the future mistress.
However, Deng Yi continued to tell her, intentionally or unintentionally, that the Su family was full of loyal martyrs and that they should submit to a wise ruler.
Su Muyao neither refuted nor agreed, and Deng Yi gradually stopped talking.
However, within the Deng residence, no one was allowed to approach Deng Yi's study at will.
At Su Muyao's behest, Hongxiao became friends with Qingliu, the maid who was in charge of cleaning Deng Yi's study.
Everyone in the Deng family knew that Qingliu had an affair with the Deng family steward, and was therefore someone the steward trusted.
Hongxiao learned from Qingliu that strange people often appeared in Lord Deng's study.
