Chapter 192: Zong Kui is not at the Su family, but in the palace
Su Jixue's words plunged the entire yard into silence.
Su Mingzhu never thought that Gu Yuanzhou would complain without her knowledge, and after she returned to the Su family.
She didn't expect that Su Jixue would not stand on her side.
Now, they all knew.
Su Jian glared at Su Mingzhu fiercely. He didn't expect that the whole incident started because of his daughter.
Su Jixue continued with a cold expression, "When Gu Yuanzhou arrived in the capital, the Jingzhao Yin didn't accept his complaint, and he was poisoned. The poison was three-day snow, and the death of 120,000 Dongchu people in the Battle of Gu'an was also caused by three-day snow."
"The person who poisoned us is our housekeeper Liu, who is also the reason why Su Mo came here."
"Su Mo took Butler Liu away, but the victim went to beat the drum to report the incident."
"That's all I know. There are a lot of things involved here, so it's better for my father to know the situation."
As the words fell, the courtyard became even quieter, and an ominous cloud enveloped the entire Su family.
"Hold steady. Ignorance is not a crime."
After a long while, Madam Su spoke first, admonishing Su Jian: "Tell the truth when His Majesty asks you questions."
Su Jian now realized the seriousness of the matter. After all, the King of War had warned him before.
"Mother, can I tell you the truth..." Shen was already panicking at this moment. The incident with the Zhuang family had plunged the Shen family into panic. Now if something happened to the Su family again, wouldn't everything be over?
Old Madam Su ignored her, and Su Jian also ignored her.
"Go quickly." Old Madam Su waved her hand at Su Jian. Now that things had come to this, she should just think about how things could get better.
Su Jian walked out with a heavy heart. If his mood when the King of War came was like soaring to the sky, his mood at this moment was like falling to the ground.
If this poison really leaked out from the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was really afraid that he would not be able to escape the responsibility.
Su Jixue glanced at everyone's faces nonchalantly and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
After saying that, she ignored the responses from the people present and left with Chunya.
"You silly girl, what's going on between you and that person who complained?!" Shen looked at Su Mingzhu with an unfriendly tone, feeling that all the problems in the Su family were caused by Su Mingzhu.
Su Mingzhu looked at Shen with an ugly expression.
She always thought that as long as Su Jixue didn't mention it, no one would know about her relationship with Gu Yuanzhou.
But I really didn't expect it to turn out like this.
"Mingzhu, you are the daughter of the Su family, your grandmother's granddaughter. Your family failed to protect you before." Old Madam Su looked at Su Mingzhu with a distressed look on her face. "If there is anything, you'd better explain it to your family, because there is a high possibility that you will be recruited as well."
Since Su Mingzhu is involved, she is likely to be called in for questioning.
Su Mingzhu did not grow up in aristocratic family, so she did not know what to say and what not to say in front of the palace or in front of others.
"That man...was once engaged to my daughter." Su Mingzhu looked at Shen with some difficulty.
"Engagement?!" Shen was annoyed when she heard it: "What do you know about engagement? Have your family ever proposed marriage or given betrothal gifts?!"
Su Mingzhu looked at Shen with some embarrassment. She and Gu Yuanzhou had secretly decided to spend their lives together, which definitely meant nothing in Shen's eyes.
Madam Su frowned slightly when she heard this, then relaxed her brows and asked, "Do you have a marriage certificate?"
Su Mingzhu shook her head.
"Then this student's motives may not be pure." Old Madam Su said with a gloomy expression, "If this matter were to be made public in front of everyone, Mingzhu would probably have no choice but to marry him."
For a young lady from aristocratic family, reputation is very important.
"No." Su Mingzhu said. She was not sure about anything else, but she was sure that Gu Yuanzhou would not harm her.
Speaking it out in public would definitely ruin her reputation, and Gu Yuanzhou would not do that.
"No?! How can you be so sure?" Shen felt sickened when she thought about what she had just heard. She was just a neighbor of the Gui family, and they dared to covet her daughter. "Also, what do you mean the Gui family sold you to Chen Donghai?"
Hearing Chen Donghai's name, Su Mingzhu couldn't help but clench her fists. What happened that night had actually been on her mind: "Maybe they're afraid that Su Mingyue's identity will be exposed, so they want to get rid of me."
Su Mingzhu looked at Shen with sarcasm in her eyes. It was she who placed her in the Gui family, which led to their evil intentions.
Now, Shen, the mother, is blaming her.
"Get rid of it?" Shen thought of Chen Donghai's reputation and looked Su Mingzhu up and down: "Then how did you escape?!"
Old Madam Su also looked at Su Mingzhu with the same question in her eyes.
Only then did Su Mingzhu realize that Old Madam Su and Shen were actually somewhat similar. To them, the family reputation seemed to be far more important than hers.
They only cared about the results, not her.
"It was my sister who helped me." Su Mingzhu clenched her fingers tightly in her palms, knowing that even Mrs. Shen and Old Madam Su could not tell her about her loss of virginity.
Twelve, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, couldn't help but sneer at this scene.
Su Mingzhu still didn't understand that Madam Su's love was all in her words. Shen said this to Su Mingzhu, but in fact, Madam Su could have stopped her with just one word, but she didn't.
No one in the Su family took Su Mingyue seriously at all.
"How could she know this? When did she know about it?!" Shen sensitively felt that something was wrong. If Su Jixue had known about it a long time ago, then the matter would have taken on a different meaning.
"My sister didn't know my identity when she rescued Mingzhu." Su Mingzhu felt a little guilty when she thought of that night.
Mentioning this at this moment made her think of the despair she felt at that time.
At that time, Gui Xiaocao never thought that she had a chance to be rescued. Even when she saw Su Jixue for the first time, she didn't think that she had the ability to save her.
"Are you sure she doesn't know?" Shen's hostility towards Su Jixue was exposed without any concealment.
"Yeah." Su Mingzhu nodded.
At this time, Su Jixue had already walked around Old Madam Su's yard again. She was very sure that Zong Kui was not in Old Madam Su's yard.
If Madam Su is Ji Xue's mother, Zong Kui should not be far away from her, as it would be difficult to control him.
Could it be that it’s not Madam Su?
If it weren't for her—
Then it can only be Empress Dowager Xie.
Su Jixue looked towards the location of the palace from afar, but if she was in the palace, how could she verify it? As long as she could get there, she would be able to know Zong Kui's location with the induction of the source blood.
At this moment, the doorman came over hurriedly again.
"What's wrong?" Su Jixue, who was still outside Madam Su's courtyard, asked.
"Someone from the palace has come to ask the second young lady to come along." The servant said hurriedly. The master had just left when someone came to summon the second young lady again.
Su Jixue raised her eyebrows slightly. Entering the palace, her eyes flashed.
The servant hurriedly said goodbye and went to the old lady's courtyard to inform Su Mingzhu. Su Jixue glanced at Chunya and said, "If he is not here, Zongkui must be in the palace. Let's go and take a look."
