Li Xiangguo, who cared most about his reputation, asked Madam Shen, "What happened?"
"I discovered a pair of illicit lovers. The woman even tried to murder her husband. When I heard this, I was shocked and wanted to see who they were."
As I followed, I realized the woman's figure looked remarkably like Su Shi's, and she was indeed heading towards the Lantai Courtyard.
Madam Shen hesitated, then said, "She made a commotion while chasing after him, and quite a few people followed behind her."
I'm worried that the woman might really be from the Su family, what if she gets arrested..."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Xiao interrupted her.
She never expected that this was the kind of trouble Shen was referring to.
Although she disliked Su Shi, she couldn't let Su Shi get involved in that kind of thing, as it would affect her entire second branch of the family.
Madam Shen, however, seemed terrified and ignored her, saying only to Prime Minister Li, "Prime Minister, I really didn't mean it. Please think of a solution quickly, otherwise how will our grandchildren get married in the future..."
Li Xiangguo's brow twitched.
He knew that his granddaughter was injured today, and he could roughly guess the reason, which was nothing more than the infighting between the two branches of the family.
Given Shen's current actions, it's likely that she's retaliating against the second branch for harming her granddaughter, but she's also mindful of the Prime Minister's reputation, which is why she hasn't escalated the matter and has reported it to him in time.
I glanced at the Su family's location; indeed, no one was there.
Prime Minister Li gave Lady Xiao a meaningful look, his expression cold and deep.
Madam Xiao's face turned pale; she understood what Prime Minister Li meant.
If Madam Su is caught red-handed and her reputation is tarnished, implicating the Prime Minister's family, then she, as the mother-in-law, will not fare well either.
She hurriedly got up and rushed to the Lantai Hospital.
Prime Minister Li gave his attendant a wink, signaling him to follow.
Regardless of whether Su's affair was true or not, he wouldn't allow the matter to come to light, but he needed to know the whole truth.
If the Su family truly acted in this way, he would certainly not let them off easily.
Madam Shen guessed what Prime Minister Li was thinking, picked up her wine cup, took a small sip, and felt aggrieved.
If it weren't for the old man threatening her with his son's future to maintain the dignity of the Prime Minister's mansion, and if it weren't for the concern for her grandchildren's marriages, she would definitely have brought people to catch them in the act of adultery.
Let this old geezer see just how despicable his favored second wife really is.
However, after tonight's events, the Su family's affair can no longer be kept secret, and it will at least cause setbacks for the second branch of the family.
As for Su's fate, she felt no remorse; it wasn't her fault that she made her behave improperly.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of Ye Zhengqing, wondering where the goods that sold ditch had gone and how her young friend would deal with him.
Ye Zhengqing, who was being nagged by her, was staggering towards the mountains. It wasn't that he wanted to, but that someone was chasing him relentlessly, and he didn't even have a chance to stop and find a place to hide.
He didn't even dare to look back to see who the other person was; all he knew was that he absolutely could not be caught.
