Chapter 161 That person is Su Yan'er
Chapter 161 That person is Su Yan'er
Su Yan'er blushed. How could she say that?
But then I wondered, did she know something?
Could it be that she really knows about my affair with the Fourth Prince?
Su Yan'er came to see Qin Wan today to test this matter. She had done something shameful and felt so guilty that she couldn't sleep well all night.
Qin Wan's words just now made her feel that things had been exposed.
But she didn't explain it so clearly, so Su Yan'er added, "It must be because you ate something containing nectar, and I'm allergic to nectar!"
Qin Wan seemed to understand, and let out a long "Oh".
"Oh~~"
"If you're not feeling well, why did you come to me? You should have gone to see the royal physician!"
The crucial question, which Su Yan'er hadn't yet asked, was why she was leaving.
"Fourth sister, I heard yesterday that you went out with the Fifth Prince. I wonder where you went?"
"What does this have to do with you?" Qin Wan retorted.
Su Yan'er hurriedly explained, "Of course it's alright, but Yan'er isn't very familiar with the capital. The weather is getting warmer, and I wanted to go out and play, but I didn't know where to go, so that's why..."
Qin Wan sneered. This is too obvious!
"Yesterday, the Fifth Prince and I went to the east of the city to watch a shadow puppet show, and then we went to Manxianglou for a meal!"
"Did Fourth Sister see anyone at Manxiang Pavilion?" Su Yan'er's eyes widened. It was so obvious that even Wan Shuang, who was standing next to her, understood what Su Yan'er meant.
Qin Wan really didn't know whether Su Yan'er was smart or stupid.
"No, I had dinner and came back!"
Hearing this, Su Yan'er breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I won't bother Fourth Sister any longer!"
Qin Wan left, and Wan Shuang followed closely behind.
"Miss, the way you knocked on her, it's like you're afraid no one will know she went to meet the Fourth Prince last night!"
"You already know about this, so how could others not know? She's just stupid; she deliberately came to ask!"
"Then why did you tell me, Miss?"
"Now is not the time. The truth will be revealed when she has accomplished her mission!"
......
In a small courtyard at the end of Zhuque Street.
"Your Highness, Zhang Yue is dead. We can now pin the blame for our assassination attempt on the Sixth Princess on him. The Fourth Prince has taken over the investigation, and he has begun to suspect the Fifth Prince!"
A cold smile crept across the black-robed man's sinister face as he lifted his robe and hood, revealing a handsome face.
But on this face, a long scar runs across the entire face. No one would have imagined that the man who once amazed Fengdu City would now be so terrifying.
Everything he has now is because of them.
Although Zhang Yue was dead and they would not be suspected, he was still unwilling to accept it.
If it weren't for Consort Yan framing his mother, how could he have been sent to the border to guard the city? He was gone for five years, and during those five years, he experienced countless life-and-death situations.
The only thought that kept him alive was his desire for revenge.
If it weren't for Qin Wan that day, Xiao Lingyun would probably be dead. Anyone who stood in his way of revenge would die.
"Spread rumors to pin Zhang Yue's death on Xiao Jingyan, and guide Xiao Jingyu to investigate the truth about Xiao Jingyan!"
"Yes!"
His fifth brother is not as simple as he seems.
However, after hiding his strength for so many years, it's time to show it off. He only needs to make a slight move to reap the benefits.
"Hahaha......"
Thinking of this, the Second Prince Xiao Jingyuan burst into laughter.
Whether it's the power in the imperial court or the hidden Nine Star Society, it will all belong to him.
......
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
"This won't do, it's too tacky!"
"This color is a bit dark. I want a true red, and the fabric should have a subtle pattern of mandarin ducks!"
"These shoes are fine, but I don't want the pearls here. I'll replace them with gold flowers!"
"..."
Shen Siyi was busy, but she was very happy because her wedding with Xiao Jingyu was just around the corner.
The engagement banquet was canceled because of her health. Since the engagement banquet couldn't be grand, the wedding must be grand and magnificent.
After being bedridden for so long, she was finally able to get up. When Madam Shen saw her like this, she couldn't help but worry.
"Yi'er, you've just recovered, you can't overexert yourself, you should rest!"
This marriage is something Shen Siyi has been longing for, so how could she possibly let it go?
"Mother, I'm not tired. If you are, you should go and rest. These maids are too clumsy; I need to keep an eye on them myself to feel at ease!"
Mrs. Shen was frightened, and Shen Siyi's old injury flared up again, so she forcibly pulled Shen Siyi to sit down to the side.
"Yi'er, just listen to your mother and don't overwork yourself. Your wedding is still ten days away, and I've already prepared everything, so don't worry about it!"
"Mother, I know you're worried about me, but I'm really fine. I've prepared everything else, but the wedding dress hasn't been decided yet. There are only ten days left, and the seamstress still needs to rush to finish making the dress. Ten days isn't enough time, so I need to decide on the fabric today!"
Seeing that her attempts to dissuade her had failed, Madam Shen sighed helplessly. Looking at the wedding dress she had prepared, which Shen Siyi had disdainfully discarded, she felt a chill in her heart.
The palace said they would prepare a wedding dress for her, but with the wedding so close, it's unclear whether it's ready or not.
"Alright, I won't worry about you anymore. Just take care of yourself. Remember, you're injured, you need to heal properly..."
She gave birth to a child!
Madam Shen didn't dare to say the last few words.
"My daughter's grown up, and I can't control her anymore," Mrs. Shen shook her head helplessly and left the room.
As he was leaving, he bumped into Yihe, a maid who was returning from outside.
"Ouch!"
A gasp rang out, and everyone stopped what they were doing. Seeing that the lady had been knocked to the ground, they rushed to help her up.
Yihe was startled and instinctively knelt on the ground.
"I'm so sorry, Madam, I'm so sorry! This servant deserves to die! This servant didn't see it!"
"You wretched servant, are you trying to kill me? How can you be so reckless? Guards!"
“Mother!” Shen Siyi interrupted Madam Shen, and said, “Yihe is usually very steady. She was in such a hurry to get something because I asked her to, and that’s why she bumped into you. Please forgive her this time for my sake!”
Seeing Shen Siyi's earnest plea, Madam Shen finally softened.
"If there is a next time, I will not let you off easily!"
"Thank you, Madam! Thank you, Madam!"
After Madam Shen left, Shen Siyi's expression changed. She hadn't sent Yihe out to fetch anything; she had sent her to gather information. She must have found out something, which was why she was in such a hurry.
"All of you, get out!"
At a single command, the room, which had been packed with people, fell silent in no time.
Yihe stood up and stepped forward. After confirming that there were no outsiders around, she whispered.
“Miss, I have found out. The woman I saw with the Fourth Prince that day was Su Yan’er, the adopted daughter of the Marquis of Pingding!”
