Su Cheng covered his bleeding nose and walked out of Zhaoyang Hall.

Everyone in Zhaoyang Hall saw it.

Because Xiao Shunyang was worried about the situation here, he went to

Yongshou Palace. After knowing that the Empress Dowager was not around, he immediately came over.

Su Cheng and the others had already left with the suspicious people, leaving only the palace maids and eunuchs of Zhaoyang Hall whispering.

“Did you see that Lord Su just now?”

“What Lord Su? He’s the Protector Duke. If I really address him as a lord, I have to call him Lord Qin?”

“Didn’t I hear that he hasn’t paid his respects to his ancestors?”

“It’s Qin Che whether he worships his ancestors or not. It’s his two children who have to change their names and surnames to enter the Qin family’s genealogy.”

“That’s true… Sigh, I went off-topic! I want to ask you if you saw him… like that?”

“Can’t you see? He’s a boor. He even dared to barge into the Grand Empress

Dowager’s room. Look at how badly he was beaten up! He bled three bowls!”

Xiao Shunyang said, “What are you talking about?”

The palace servants turned around in shock. When they saw that it was the

Second Prince, they knelt down and bowed. “Your Highness!”

One of the palace servants said, “The servants… are talking about the Protector

Duke…

Xiao Shunyang asked, “What’s wrong with the Duke?”

The palace maid said, “He… he offended the Grand Empress Dowager and was beaten until his head was bleeding…’

Some things changed as they spread. Su Cheng had never been injured, nor had he been beaten up by Bai Xihe. However, the palace servants saw blood and made up stories as if they were at the scene.

Xiao Shunyang paused and turned to go to Zhaoyang Hall.

However, before he could enter, he was stopped by Little Yunzi.

Little Yunzi said, “Your Highness, the Grand Empress Dowager has rested.”

Xiao Shunyang said, “I heard that the Protector Duke offended the Empress

Dowager. ”

Offending?

It was simply disgraceful and exposed the Empress Dowager’s beauty…

However, Little Yunzi did not understand why the Grand Empress Dowager did not punish the Protector Duke.

Little Yunzi smiled and said, “The Protector Duke was investigating a case on orders. He didn’t offend her.”

Xiao Shunyang frowned. “1 heard that the Duke was injured.”

Little Yunzi smiled and said, “Ah, he accidentally fell. The investigation isn’t over yet, right? Your Highness, go busy yourself. I’ll go serve the Grand Empress Dowager first.”

Xiao Shunyang was not Su Cheng and could not rush in without a care. He could only watch helplessly as Little Yunzi closed the door of Zhaoyang Hall.

He had a feeling that Su Cheng had still offended her. However, because of Qin Canglan’s power, she could not blow things up. After beating him up, she would not pursue the matter.

He stood at the door for a long time until his subordinate came to urge him to continue the investigation. Then, he left silently.

On the other hand, after Dahu woke up early, he immediately realized that Erhu had abandoned them and entered the palace.

He originally thought that Xiao Hu was the most worrisome. Who would have thought that Erhu would be the first to defect?

Very good, Erhu also needed to be taught a lesson.

Dahu and Xiaohu went to Ling Yun’s place for class, and Wei Xiyue was also there.

Wei Xiyue’s Xiaobai was Xiaohu. Dahu and Erhu were Xiaobai’s family members. She would take care of them, but she would not go crazy just because one of them was not around.

Wei Xiyue sat cross-legged on the ground with Salted Fish Xiaohu in her arms. She was still calm.

Su Xiaoxiao happened to be on a house call nearby, so she came over to pick up the children.

She first sent Dahu and Xiaohu to the Marquis of Zhenbei’s Estate, then sent Wei Xiyue back to the Wei family.

Su Xiaoxiao hadn’t been here for a while.

The Wei family seemed to be much quieter than last time. There were no sisters-in-law sparring in the garden.

Madam Jiang and Madam Lan sat on the stone stool listlessly. Madam Chen sat upright beside the two of them like a guardian deity.

“Aye. ”

Mdm Lan sighed.

“Aye. ”

Mdm Jiang also sighed.

“Sisters-in-law.”

Su Xiaoxiao held Wei Xiyue’s hand and walked over.

Mdm Jiang was shocked. “Seventh Sister- in-law? Xiyue.”

“Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, Fifth Aunt.” Wei Xiyue hugged the jar and greeted the three of them.

Wei Xiyue’s improvement was obvious. She did not like to interact with others in the past and rarely took the initiative to greet others.

Now… she still didn’t interact with others much, but she liked to greet them.

After Wei Xiyue met her aunties, she went to look for her mother.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the three dispirited people in confusion.

Mdm Jiang sighed. “We’re worried about Sister-in-law.”

Madam Lan also said, “Ever since Sister-in-law’s identity was exposed, she has locked herself in her room and won’t see anyone. We all understand that Sister-in-law must have her difficulties, but we can’t even see her, let alone ask her. When we asked Mother, she refused to tell us.”

Mdm Jiang asked helplessly, “What are Mother and Sister-in-law hiding from

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’ll go see Sister-in-law.” Madam Chu was practicing calligraphy in her room.

“Madam, Miss Su is here.”

The maidservant reported.

“Let her go back,” Chu said.

Creak—

Su Xiaoxiao pushed the door open and entered.

The maidservant was trembling and did not know what to do. Su Xiaoxiao said, “I came in myself. She couldn’t stop me.”

Madam Chu did not say anything and asked the maidservant to leave.

Su Xiaoxiao sat down in front of Madam Chu.

After not seeing her for a few days, she looked much more tired.

“Wei Ting went to assassinate the Sect Master of the White Lotus Society.”

Su Xiaoxiao gave Madam Chu a heavy blow.

Madam Chu’s hand froze.

“It’s very dangerous, right?” Su Xiaoxiao said. “But this is the only way he can protect Sisters-in-law, Madam Wei, and the Wei family.”

Madam Chu clenched her fists tightly, causing them to turn white.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Madam Chu without blinking. “So Sister-in-law is still unwilling to say? Perhaps a small clue can help Wei Ting avoid danger.”

If she asked Madam Chu why she had joined the White Lotus Society, she would definitely not confess.

However, if she used Wei Ting’s life as a bargaining chip, Chu might not be able to be ruthless.

Madam Chu slowly reached out and rolled up her sleeves. She took off the bracelet, revealing a red mark on her wrist.

Su Xiaoxiao asked strangely, “This is…”

Madam Chu said softly, “The White Lotus Society poisoned me. I have to take the antidote once a month. Otherwise, I will die from the poison.” Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. “Is there really such a melodramatic method?”

Madam Chu said, “My father was also poisoned by this.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Your father…”

Madam Chu shook her head slightly. “He’s not from the White Lotus Society. He’s used by the White Lotus Society to threaten me. There’s a powerful apothecary in the White Lotus Society. It’s said that he’s from the Western Jin Dynasty and is good at poison and mechanisms. You’ve been to the peach forest, right? That person designed it.”

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. “In that case, the Corpse Dissolving Water and poison were also made by him.”

“Poison?” Madam Chu had never been to the peach forest and had only heard of some dangers, but she did not know the details.

Su Xiaoxiao told him about the black bear and its cub.

Chu shuddered. “He should be the one who did it. He’s very dangerous. He’s the most dangerous person serving the Sect Master!”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Aren’t Salve Xiu the most dangerous? Are they the same person?

A trace of fear flashed across Madam Chu’s eyes. “No, they’re not the same person. The one with the highest martial arts is Slave Xiu, and the one with the most vicious methods is him..”
