Looking at the portrait, Su Ruojin was surprised to find that these three people had managed to infiltrate the General's Mansion.
Yao Zhangshi, Yao Qingfeng, and Yao Huihui are truly ignorant and fearless. They dare to wade into such a murky place in the capital!
How dare the three of them storm the General's Mansion?
The whole family are clueless idiots; they're probably being used without even realizing it.
Xiao Yanchu also saw the portrait and naturally recognized that this was the person who had come to the Prince's Mansion and said that Ajin was engaged to their family.
Su Yunfeng also noticed something amiss. "Xiao Jin, do you know them?"
Su Ruojin nodded. "Yes, Dad, they are Zhao Jiao's cousins. This Aunt Cuihua is Yao Zhangshi, Zhao Jiao's cousin-in-law. This Wang Wu is Yao Qingfeng, Yao Zhangshi's son. Xu'er's original name is Yao Huihui, Yao Qingfeng's sister. They are all high-minded but incompetent."
Putting aside the fact that they are Zhao Jiao's cousins, given the character of these three people, how could they possibly be willing to work as servants in the General's Mansion?
However, Su Ruojin thought again that if someone told them that entering the General's Mansion would give them the opportunity to climb up to the powerful figures within, how could Yao Zhangshi and the other two not be tempted?
This also explains why Yao Huihui appeared in her elder brother's study; her intentions were as clear as day.
This is a case of seduction failing, love turning into hatred, and now she's trying to frame the Su family.
Combined with those three letters, it's clear that someone was manipulating everything behind the scenes.
Xiao Chenyi couldn't possibly be unaware of such a simple truth.
Su Ruojin suddenly turned to look at Xiao Yanchu, "Could it be Xiao Chenyi behind him?"
Before Xiao Yanchu could answer, Su Ruojin contradicted herself, saying, "It can't be Xiao Chenyi."
If it were merely a matter of fabricating a few letters of treason to frame the Su family and use them to suppress them, Xiao Chen would have done it.
However, the Su family's affair also involves Tong Mingshan, as well as the Bei Li people who colluded with Tong Mingshan.
Xiao Chen wouldn't be foolish enough to betray himself; in this matter, he was merely going with the flow.
"Just find the three of them and ask them," Su Jiu'an said.
Meanwhile, the three people the Su family was looking for were hiding in a dark room on the outskirts of Beijing.
Although meals were delivered regularly every day, the room was so dark that the time could only be estimated by the time the meals were delivered.
The person who brings the food will not answer a single question, no matter what they ask.
After an unknown amount of time, Yao Huihui felt like she was going crazy.
"Mother, will we be locked up here forever?"
"No!" Yao Zhangshi said, taking a big bite of the now-cold pancake. "We were the great contributors to bringing down the Su family. Even if we didn't make any great contributions, we still put in a lot of hard work. As long as the Su family falls, we'll have a good life."
If Su Ruojin were here, she would be shocked to hear what Yao Zhangshi said.
This doesn't sound like something a country woman who has never seen the world would say.
Indeed, what Yao Zhangshi said was nothing more than what the person who gave them the letter and asked them to expose the Su family had said to them.
Madam Yao did not recognize the man, but he said he was sent by Zhao Jiao and promised that if they succeeded, they would be great heroes in the eyes of the current emperor, and wealth and honor would be just around the corner.
Having grown accustomed to the prosperity of the capital, and having been captivated by the lives of the wealthy in the capital during their time living with the Su family, the three women, Yao, Zhang, and Madam, were unwilling to return to their former lives.
