After taking the medicine, Su Yunfeng felt much better. He looked at Su Ruojin and slowly said, "Xiaojin, cough cough, take care of yourself, don't worry about us."
"Father, don't worry. I believe that the Su family would never do such a thing. I will definitely clear your name and get you out of here."
After comforting Su Yunfeng, Su Ruojin looked at Su Jiu'an and asked, "Brother, what's going on with Mu Yao? When did she get engaged to Deng Yi?"
Before Su Jiu'an could answer, Su Yiting spoke first, his tone angry, "Don't ask anymore, just consider us Su family as having raised an ungrateful wretch!"
Ungrateful wretch?
Before Su Ruojin could ask any more questions, Su Yiting had already begun to accuse Su Muyao.
"We were arrested, and Deng Yi came to supervise the interrogation, using torture to force us to confess to colluding with Bei Li. Su Muyao was afraid of being tortured, so she begged Deng Yi to release her, saying that she was not a member of the Su family to begin with, and that she was willing to become Deng Yi's concubine if he could rescue her. Bah! How could someone like her be worthy of being a member of the Su family?"
Deng Yi took her out of prison the next day; she's probably enjoying a comfortable life at the Deng residence now.
Su Yiting became increasingly angry as he spoke.
The men of the Su family will only marry one woman, and they will love each other until they grow old together. The women of the Su family will never be concubines.
Unexpectedly, in order to protect herself, Su Muyao actually degraded herself to become Deng Yi's concubine.
Back then, Deng Yi had feelings for Su Muyao, and Su Muyao marrying him was considered a step down for her. Now, however, she has become Deng Yi's concubine, which is bound to anger the Su family.
Deng Yi's concubine?
Su Ruojin recalled what Shen Yu had said earlier and understood why Shen Yu's expression had been somewhat strange at the time.
Shen Yu was referring to Deng Yi saying that Su Muyao was his betrothed wife, but Su Yiting said she would be his concubine. It seems that Shen Yu said that to save face for Su Muyao.
Su Ruojin told her family to take care of themselves, then turned and left without saying anything more.
Instead of wasting time crying and wailing here, we should go out and find evidence to clear the Su family's name as soon as possible.
Xiao Yanchu glanced at Liu Ze. "Lord Liu, the Dali Temple has always emphasized evidence in its trials. If you have enough evidence to convict the Su family, I have nothing to say."
But if you dare to torture or coerce confessions from the Su family, attempting to extract false confessions, I will have you implicated for abuse of power, and you can forget about being the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. If you don't believe me, feel free to try.”
After saying that, Xiao Yanchu turned and left.
Only then did Liu Ze breathe a sigh of relief; in such a hot summer, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Although the regent had relinquished much of his power, he was still the regent and his influence remained. He didn't want to offend Xiao Yanchu.
Can......
Sighing, Liu Ze closed his eyes, shook his head, and hurried towards the palace.
Cixi Palace.
Empress Dowager Wei already knew that Su Ruojin and the others had returned to the capital.
Just now, the prison warden reported that Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin had broken into the Dali Temple prison without permission. Empress Dowager Wei didn't care at all; she had expected this.
If he didn't break into the Dali Temple prison, he wouldn't be Xiao Yanchu.
She wasn't afraid at all. The letters and account books found in the Su family showing her affair with Bei Li were irrefutable evidence. Bei Li's spies were witnesses. With both witnesses and physical evidence, no one could refute it.
Now we just need to wait for Su Wenzhou to be escorted back to the capital. Once Su Wenzhou personally admits to smuggling weapons, iron ore, and other supplies to Bei Li, the Su family can be convicted. Then we'll see who dares to object!
Before Xiao Yanchu went to Xiaoyue, he had already delegated a lot of power to Xiao Chenyi. Empress Dowager Wei and Xiao Chenyi took this opportunity to reorganize the officials, replace some people, and gradually take control of these powers.
This time, someone accused the Su family of treason, which gave Empress Dowager Wei and her son a great opportunity to get rid of the Su family.
With the Su family eliminated, most of the military power of the Great Chu will fall into the hands of the Wei family. At that time, what will the little military power in Xiao Yanchu's hands be?
Once outside the Dali Temple, Su Ruojin sneered, "Yanchu, are those three not in jail because they're afraid we'll kill them to silence them?"
