"Heh, Ah Yue, don’t be hasty. Since I am telling you about this, it means I believe this matter is unrelated to the Yun Family."
"It’s just that the other party deliberately left evidence to falsely accuse the Yun Family. Besides that, there’s no other important clue, so the Yun Family also needs to make early preparations to avoid getting trapped in a scheme laid by others."
"Ah Yue, you should understand that if someone has enough evidence and asks the elder brother to pass judgment, even if it’s false, it will cause a lot of trouble."
Yun Wanye nodded. He naturally understood these principles.
It seemed today’s events were far more complicated than he imagined. He initially thought the Silly Princess had offended someone, and they just wanted to kill her. Now it seemed like a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
Even the Yun Family was dragged into it.
Killing the Silly Princess and then framing the Yun Family.
Ha, what a clever tactic.
Yun Wanye’s fingers coldly traced the words "Duke Ning" on the token, his gaze dark and fierce.
"Let me see,"
Mo Zhaozhao walked to Yun Wanye’s side and asked for the token. Yun Wanye did not hesitate and handed it to her.
"Despicable, attempting to assassinate me and falsely accuse Uncle Yun. Prince, Elder Brother, I actually have a suspect in mind, but I don’t have the evidence."
Before the two could respond, she continued, "I suspect that it’s someone from the Grand Commandant Mansion trying to kill me."
"Zhaozhao, the Grand Commandant is a high-ranking court official; such things shouldn’t be said lightly."
In truth, Mo Zhaozhao was not completely certain; she was merely speculating.
Last time, although she and Yun Wanye orchestrated for Su Qianxue to fall into the lake, they did it from the shadows, and no one knew. Probably, even Su Qianxue herself didn’t understand why she fell.
However, considering Su Qianxue’s audacity to defy her, as long as she doesn’t like Mo Zhaozhao, she would assume Mo Zhaozhao was involved, even without evidence.
If Su Qianxue told Su Jian that Mo Zhaozhao’s guards secretly threw her into the lake, Su Jian might retaliate in kind.
Mo Zhaozhao secretly threw Su Qianxue into the lake, and then Su Jian secretly attempted to assassinate her.
But that old fox was more ruthless with better tactics, directly framing Duke Ning; if successful, it would be a total win, but even if it failed, just leaving some false evidence against Duke Ning was enough to sow discord between the elder brother and the Yun Family.
"Elder Brother, I’m not speaking lightly. The only person I’ve offended recently is Su Qianxue. Besides her, I can’t think of anyone else daring enough to take action against me."
"Moreover, the assassins today were not weak; they overwhelmed my guards almost instantly. This shows the backing family must be tremendously powerful, or they couldn’t train such assassins."
The more Mo Zhaozhao thought, the more she was convinced of the Su Family’s involvement and had already judged them guilty in her heart.
"What do you mean—was it you who caused Miss Su to fall into the lake last time?"
Mo Yunlin frowned slightly, looking seriously at the young lady. Mo Zhaozhao immediately lowered her head, a trace of guilt appearing on her face.
"So what if it was me? Su Qianxue openly defied me in front of everyone, trampling on the Imperial Family’s dignity. I just wanted to teach her a lesson; otherwise, how could I maintain my authority among the other noble ladies in the future?"
"Besides, she deliberately stood by the lake without a railing, which was clearly a trap for me. If I hadn’t been lucky, I would’ve fallen in instead."
She didn’t want to mention Yun Wanye’s involvement or how he saved her, so she attributed it all to luck.
"How did you manage to make her fall into the lake?"
In the days following that incident, Su Jian didn’t bring it up in court, suggesting they had insufficient evidence to prove the Imperial Sister harmed someone.
Otherwise, Su Jian wouldn’t miss the chance to exploit this and cause trouble.
"Elder Brother, don’t ask anymore; I didn’t make an appearance or even get close to Su Qianxue. Even if she accuses me, it’s false since she has no evidence."
Mo Zhaozhao didn’t want to deceive the elder brother, nor could she reveal the truth, so she could only respond this way.
Hearing this, Mo Yuanlin and Mo Yuanhao simultaneously turned to look at Yun Wanye, their gazes exploring, while Yun Wanye remained composed.
Heh, if something happened at the Duke Mansion, don’t doubt it; this kid definitely had a part in it.
The two probably understood why Mo Zhaozhao didn’t clarify matters; she must be protecting this kid.
"Imperial Sister’s reasoning holds. In these coming days, I’ll keep a close watch on the Su Family. If it truly was that old man Su Jian who targeted the Imperial Sister, I will certainly avenge her."
