“I didn’t… I don’t dare! I was taught by others! Sob, sob, sob… I don’t dare, Your Majesty!” Wu Ruofei had been pampered since she was young and was quite afraid of Chu Mingyuan’s pressure. At this moment, she resembled a frightened sparrow, her small internal organs trembling violently.
“Who exactly is it that wants to frame my brother and the Eldest Young Master of the Marquis’s Manor?” Su Yingxue shouted, and Wu Ruofei panicked even more.
She pointed at Su Yurou in a daze. “It’s her! It’s Su Yu…”
“Sister Ruofei, don’t talk nonsense! i treat you as a good friend. You like my brother and have asked me for help many times, but 1 have also told you that I can’t help you with this matter. Now that you have done something wrong, as long as you apologize to my brother, my brother is broad-minded, and 1 believe he won’t hold it against you,” Su Yurou interrupted her words and spoke eloquently.
Wu Ruofei was stunned. Su Yurou was the instigator, so why did it sound like she was the victim and the sinister villain?
This situation had already exceeded her brain’s capacity. She was stunned and didn’t know what was going on.
However, as Su Yurou got closer, the fragrance in the sachet stimulated Madam Wu’s nerves. She pushed Su Yurou hard and said sternly, “You vicious woman. You know that my daughter likes Su Hao, so you instigated her to use her innocence to pester Su Hao. Now, you still want to push the blame onto her? Don’t even think about it! Everyone in the Su family is a poisonous snake!”
Madam Wu’s heart surged with anger. She couldn’t deal with Su Yingxue, and her daughter was being used by Su Yurou. Now that her daughter’s reputation was ruined, she had to take the blame for Su Yurou!
They had become stepping stones for the Su family’s internal strife!
Su Yurou was uneasy and fell onto a piece of broken porcelain just as Madam Wu pushed her. A mark was left on the delicate skin of her palm.
She cried weakly and didn’t defend herself, but Su Dingheng and Chu Chengye couldn’t stand it anymore.
Su Dingheng’s heart ached as he helped her up. He could no longer care about the benefits he had previously agreed upon with Wu Hongtao. He flared up at Madam Wu, “Madam Wu, your Minister’s Estate has gone too far! You ruined my son’s innocence, and now you’re hurting my daughter! This in-law, my Marquis’s Manor does not want!”
“Madam Wu has lost her composure in front of Father and Mother. I’m afraid that she doesn’t have the qualifications to marry into the Marquis’s Manor.” Chu Chengye glanced coldly at Wu Ruofei and Madam Wu before reporting to Chu Mingyuan, “Father, please help Young General Su clear his name and seek justice for Yurou.”
“I will naturally not let loyal officials be wronged.” Chu Mingyuan’s eyes were deep.
He didn’t care to look at her anymore. He didn’t care to expose the tricks of such a young girl.
“Su Yingxue, since you know how to concoct medicine, immediately prepare the spices they used at that time. I’ll order someone to test the medicine, and we’ll be able to recreate the situation at that time.” Chu Mingyuan looked at Lan Ling, who was wearing a guard’s uniform. “Lan Ling, go and cooperate with Su Yingxue to test the medicine.”
Lan Ling frowned. His abilities were indeed on par with Su Hao’s. Even Chu Chengye might not be his match.
However, this was the first time he had been treated as a test subject in all his years as a royal guard.
But the emperor’s orders cannot be disobeyed.
Lan Ling could only wait on the side, waiting for Su Yingxue to mix the medicine.
Su Yingxue glanced at Lan Ling and felt that he was very innocent. However, compared to proving Su Hao’s innocence, she still resolutely went to concoct the medicine.
In order to convince everyone, Su Yingxue got Chu Mingyuan to invite a few court physicians over to watch her concoct the medicine.
Furthermore, after she had concocted the medicine, she had several court physicians examine it..
