When Su Yurou heard this, her brows furrowed tightly.

“What does Su Yingxue know?” She mumbled and quietly left the manor after dinner to sneak to her mother’s place.

In Su Yingxue’s courtyard, Zhilan assisted her in bathing and changing. While she appeared composed outside, she couldn’t help but complain in front of Su Yingxue, “Marquis is only polite to Miss because Miss has achieved something. Before that, when Miss was trapped in the medical center, we were worried to death, but Master sealed off our courtyard. He said if Miss couldn’t return, he would hand over all of us, the servants, for execution!”

Su Yingxue had already expected Zhilan to say this. “You’ve all worked hard during this time.”

“Miss, how can this be considered hard? We, as servants, don’t seek much. We only hope to serve Master well. Marquis’s heart had long been outside. Miss, you still care so much about Marquis.”

“Who said I care about him?” Su Yingxue’s lips curved into a smile. The bathroom was filled with mist. Her unparalleled beauty seemed ethereal in the mist, like a dream.

“Miss, didn’t you remind Master to check the accounts?” Zhilan was puzzled.

“If he doesn’t check the accounts, how would he know how much money Liu Shulan used, collaborating with Silver Moon Pavilion, and creating such a deadly plague to harm me?” Su Yingxue flickered the water droplets on her fingertips, and a hint of sharpness appeared in her watery eyes.

Zhilan was greatly shocked when she heard this. She was about to shout out indignantly, but seeing that Su Yingxue was so calm, she thought about it and said in a low voice, “Miss, you’ve considered everything thoroughly!”

Su Yingxue stretched out her hand from the bathtub and pinched Zhilan’s moist face. “My little maid, when did you become so composed?”

In the past, she loved to shout.

Zhilan felt a little embarrassed. “Old Madam Zhang has been talking to me a lot these days, imparting some principles. As attendants close to Miss, we must be more composed so as not to drag Miss down. Shuyan often comes to convey the Eldest Young Master’s instructions. In everything, one must not panic and must be as calm as Miss in times of crisis to be a useful loyal servant.”

“That brat Shuyan, could it be that he’s using brother’s name to bully you?” Su Yingxue tilted her head and looked a little cute.

Zhilan blushed. “No! He was very good! Miss, don’t worry about me!”

“Well, since you like him so much, 1 won’t worry them.” Su Yingxue patted her head.

Zhilan’s face flushed red, but she dared not talk back to her.

Su Yingxue came out of the shower, and there was a pervasive sense of killing intent in the room.

When Zhilan saw Zi Wei, she immediately protected Su Yingxue. “This… This is Miss’s boudoir. As a grown man, you should be careful. Don’t come in often. If people find out, how will Miss get married in the future?”

Zi Wei’s eyes narrowed. Obviously, after so many years as an assassin, he didn’t understand these things.

He turned around and let Su Yingxue enter the inner room to change her clothes.

Su Yingxue called out to him, and he slowly turned around. He lowered his head and said hoarsely, “I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine. There’s no need to be constrained by these things in the future.” After Su Yingxue sat up, she poured a cup of tea for Zi Wei and gestured for him to sit down.

Zi Wei remained motionless, held a knife, and stood in place. He briefly described the situation in Yaoguang Garden.

“Your father left in anger.” When Zi Wei saw him return to the Marquis’s Manor, he came back to report to Su Yingxue.

Su Yingxue chuckled. “Knowing that a significant amount of silver is missing but not knowing where it went, my father has every reason to be angry..”
