My cousin married Li Chenghai, and the Su family and the Li family became related by marriage.
Some time ago, because of her cousin's affair with Ye Zhengqing, the Su family was worried that the Li family would take their anger out on the Su family.
Unexpectedly, the Li family not only did not take their anger out on the Su family, but also wanted to help them.
Su Yanwan didn't understand the affairs of the court, but her father and uncles were all very happy, which showed that Prime Minister Li was not just talking.
Thinking about Su Yucheng's words, Su Yanwan also felt that they made sense.
Feeling at ease, the two began exchanging insincere words, which Ye Zhen and Xie Tingzhou found uninteresting, so they quietly left.
Not long after they left, Su Yucheng also came out of Su Yanwan's room and then secretly left the mansion through a side door.
After wandering through the streets and alleys in the dark, he entered a house.
Inside the house, a man wearing a mask and hood sat at a table, holding a medical manual in his left hand and silver needles in his right.
Upon seeing Su Yucheng, he merely glanced at him indifferently and asked, "Defeated?"
Su Yucheng smiled bitterly, "My lord, please forgive me. Someone sabotaged us. Su Yanwan was unharmed, and when we arrived, the assassin was nowhere to be found."
If it works out, he won't need to come out tonight; he can just wait to collect Su Yanwan's body tomorrow.
The medical book was slammed down, and the masked man stared at Su Yucheng with a deep look in his eyes.
"If the black market assassin is caught, it's highly likely the investigation will trace it back to you, Yu Cheng. Have you thought about how to deal with it?"
Su Yucheng's face turned pale.
"Please, Master, save me! I haven't avenged my mother's death yet, and I don't want to die."
Madam Su and her father were having an affair; they didn't just steal him from her mother.
Madam Su also caused the death of her mother.
She blamed her mother for stealing her beloved, even though it was she who rejected her father first.
Upon learning the truth, he was filled with rage and wanted nothing more than to kill Madam Su to avenge his mother.
Ironically, he had to rely on Madam Su to live well in the Su family.
If we can't kill Madam Su for the time being, we can only destroy Madam Su's daughter, Su Yanwan.
But this mother and daughter, though seemingly normal, are actually both insane.
When Madam Su learned that the siblings were in trouble, she not only did not stop them, but also helped to cover it up, and even used Su Yanwan to curry favor with him.
Su Yanwan, however, had no sense of shame. She had an ambiguous relationship with her brother and, contrary to his expectations, did not attempt suicide. Instead, she dreamed of living happily ever after with him.
He loathed the mother and daughter, and to escape them, he had no choice but to leave his hometown.
He thought he could finally get rid of this troublesome person after his master finally decided to kill Su Yanwan, but he didn't expect it to fail.
On the contrary, it may expose oneself.
Yes, he was the one who placed the order on the black market.
Because his master really disliked Su Yanwan, he was asked to handle the matter, and he himself was unwilling to touch her again.
"My lord, could it be the Crown Prince who is responsible for this trouble?"
The masked man remained silent, his gaze falling on the acupoints on the bronze figure's knee. With a slight movement of his fingers, he inserted a silver needle into the acupoints on the bronze figure's knee.
He said calmly, "If it were him, I'm afraid I would also be suspected. Yu Cheng, if the matter leads back to you, you should just admit it."
"master?"
Su Yucheng was shocked. Was his master going to abandon him?
The masked man bent down and helped him up. "Madam Su was unfaithful after marriage. She plotted to kill your mother and caused you to be separated from your blood relatives."
As a son, it's perfectly reasonable for you to learn the truth, seek revenge for your mother, and hire a black market assassin to take revenge on her daughter.
The assassin failed, and Su Yanwan is unharmed; at most, she will be convicted of attempted murder and imprisoned, but not fatally. However, the Su family will certainly not fare well.
With an adulterous mother, an incompetent father, and an affair with his elder brother, would the Crown Prince still marry Su Yanwan?
Won't.
Su Yucheng looked at the masked man, "Master, are you going to deal with the Su family?"
The masked man slowly stood up, lifted his mask, and said unhurriedly, "It's not me, it's the Crown Prince. So, by severing ties with the Su family in time, you can actually save your life."
Before Su Yucheng could figure it out, the masked man gave an order: "Yucheng, pick a few assassins to kill Ye Zhen."
Ye Zhen was unaware that her life was being threatened again. After returning home, she slept lightly and restlessly.
At daybreak, he took the nun, who was skilled in growing medicinal herbs, and Sui Sui to the manor outside the city.
This estate was recently purchased in the name of the Charity Hall. Winter is approaching, and it's too late for planting, but some medicinal herbs can be grown.
Unexpectedly, they encountered the Prime Minister's carriage as they left the city.
Su stepped down from the carriage and stood in front of Ye Zhen's horse. "Princess Zhaoning, have I offended you? Why are you trying to harm me like this?"
Su raised his voice and asked Ye Zhen.
It attracted pedestrians to stop and watch.
Yin Yue frowned. "Madam Li, stop talking nonsense. My princess has never harmed you."
The affair between Su and Ye Zhengqing is not the fault of her young mistress; it wasn't her young mistress who allowed Su to commit adultery.
"Oh!"
Madam Su sneered, "So you've never harmed me? Does the princess dare to say that the rumors about me and Ye Zhengqing weren't spread by the princess?"
Her mother-in-law told her that it was Shen Shi and Ye Zhen who discovered her and Ye Zhengqing at the Imperial Estate that day.
They were the ones who spread her story.
Ye Zhen lifted the curtain. "Since Madam Li has asked about this matter, I am also curious: is the rumor about you and Ye Zhengqing true?"
She had no enmity with the Su family. When she first discovered that the Su family was having an affair with Ye Zhengqing, she never thought of doing anything to the Su family.
However, in order to sow discord between her and Madam Shen, Madam Su did not hesitate to harm the child and even blamed Suihuan's injuries on her maid.
How could she possibly cover for the Su family?
"It's obviously a rumor."
Madam Su hurriedly replied, "It was the princess who spread this rumor. The princess holds a grudge against Ye Zhengqing, and she has implicated me as well."
"As you say, Madam, I have no grudge against you. Why should I involve you with Ye Zhengqing instead of other women?"
