"Su Yixue, do you know about this?" Nan Jinghuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his slender pupils as sharp as razors.

When Su Yixue was named and questioned, her body trembled and her pupils were filled with fear.

Because she was wearing a veil, Nan Jinghuan could not see her expression clearly. When he wanted to continue asking questions, the second lady was frightened and hurriedly explained.

"No, no, all this was done by me and has nothing to do with Xue'er. She was ill in bed some time ago and had no knowledge of these things. Your Highness, you have to believe Xue'er. Xue'er is kind-hearted by nature. Don't

I misunderstood her. It was all me who caused her trouble, it was all me."

At the end of the story, the second lady started sobbing heartbroken again.

When Nan Jinghuan heard this, he pondered for a moment before putting away his doubts and finally chose to believe it.

At this time, he looked at Su Yihui with cold eyes and said in a deep voice: "Now that the matter has come to light, let's solve it how we want to solve it."

Nan Jinghuan's meaning was very clear. Even Su Yixue's mother could not seek personal gain when something like this happened. This was related to the reputation of his prince. It would be bad if someone made an issue out of it.

Su Yihui naturally understood this truth. With a dark face, he ordered in a cold voice: "Fan Lanli stole the gold hairpin given by the Queen Mother and killed the princess's maid. The crime is unforgivable. I will give you a hundred sticks and she will be executed immediately."

When the second lady heard this, her remaining strength was instantly drained, and she fell weakly to the ground. Her red and swollen eyes were cold and numb, and tears flowed out unconsciously.

She could not escape death today, but she didn't expect that Su Yihui would give her such a cruel punishment in order to cater to the prince. Her heart, which was as painful as a knife, was riddled with holes.

Su Yixue burst into tears looking at her miserable mother, rushed over, took Nan Jinghuan's hand, and begged: "Jinghuan, please save my mother, she did this for me, please."

You save her, it will take a hundred battles, it is too cruel, it will beat her to death."

In the past, whenever Nan Jinghuan saw Su Yixue being unhappy, his heart would clench and feel uncomfortable. However, now that he sees her bursting into tears, his heart feels numb and even a little disgusted.

Why?

When did his feelings for Su Yixue change?

Nan Jinghuan couldn't understand. He pulled out his arm that was pulled by her impatiently, and said coldly: "Your mother has done all the bad things, and you still plead for her. Aren't you afraid that I will hold you accountable?"

Nan Jinghuan chose to believe Su Yixue and let her go for the sake of past kindness. Now, Su Yixue is still interceding for such a vicious woman, which really disappoints him.

Su Yixue also felt Nan Jinghuan's suppressed anger, and immediately closed her mouth and looked at him with shock on her face, feeling uneasy and fearful in her heart.

Su Yihui on the side also noticed Nan Jinghuan's impatience. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead anxiously and said awkwardly: "Your Highness, will your and Xue'er's marriage still go ahead as usual?"

This is the only thing Su Yihui is worried about.

Nan Jinghuan glanced at the embarrassed Su Yixue, was silent for a moment, and nodded slightly: "Since the emperor has granted the marriage, and I have also paid the betrothal gift, it will naturally be held as usual."

If it hadn't been held, wouldn't all this have become a joke?

Nan Jinghuan did not want to become the laughing stock of the Southern Sui Kingdom.

After hearing the prince's promise, Su Yihui and Su Yixue felt a little relieved.

"Why are you still standing there? The execution will be carried out immediately." Su Yihui ignored the prince's concerns and immediately shouted at the guards.

The guard took the order, quickly dragged the second lady to the bench, raised a stick and beat her severely.

In the whole yard, only banging and banging sounds were heard, and the beating made the second lady scream repeatedly, begging for mercy and cursing at the same time.

"Your Highness, please save me. For Xue'er's sake, please save me."

But her pleas for help were in vain, and she could only curse fiercely.

"Su Moliang, you poisonous woman, you bitch, you have to die a good death, even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go!"

The shrill curse broke through the sky and echoed in the hearts of everyone for a long time, causing a chill to rise up.

However, Su Moliang's face remained as usual, and he slowly walked up to the Second Madam, bent down slightly, looked into those scarlet eyes full of resentment and pain, and whispered: "Second Madam, if you want to talk about poisonous women, where can I be?"

Compared to you, you once disfigured me, abused me, beat my slaves and nanny, and killed so many maids in the house. Do you think it was you who suffered a bad death, or me? Huh?"

Su Moliang's voice was very soft and soft, but every word was filled with great hatred, and the words were squeezed out from between the teeth in a round tone.

When the second lady heard this, her pupils dilated in horror, and a look of horror instantly spread across her old face.

Perhaps the pain in her body and the fear in her heart hit her at the same time, which overwhelmed her for a moment. She bulged her eyes, stretched her head, and stiffened for two seconds. Then her body suddenly went limp, and she died under the surprised gazes of everyone.

Even the remaining expression after death is one of untold pain and fear.

Seeing this, Su Yixue had already burst into tears. In order not to make Nan Jinghuan angry, she could only cover her mouth to prevent herself from crying.

Su Yihui also sighed helplessly and waved to the guards, indicating to carry the body out.

After watching the second lady die in pain, Su Moliang finally felt relieved.

Then, she straightened up, took a cold look at the body that had been carried away, and spoke slowly, her voice indifferent, even a little cold: "Now that my father and the prince have punished the murderer for Juxiang, I feel relieved, Luman,

Aunt An, let’s go”

Upon hearing this, Lu Man and Nanny An immediately followed Su Moliang and walked with her towards Mingqing Pavilion.

On the way back to Mingqing Pavilion, Lu Man thought that Su Moliang must be exhausted today, so she couldn't help but suggest: "Miss, please go to the kitchen and bring you some food and pastries."

Su Moliang rubbed his temples and nodded: "Well, bring some more wine. A day like today should be celebrated properly."

Lu Man smiled and nodded, turning around and heading towards the kitchen.

Now that the matter has been resolved, Nan Jinghuan has no need to stay any longer. He followed Su Moliang's figure with his eyes, followed his heart and couldn't help but follow.

When Su Yihui saw that Nan Jinghuan was about to leave, he was full of guilt and said quickly: "Your Highness, you are tired today. Let me take you out."

Nan Jinghuan was suddenly called to a halt by him. He paused in his steps and raised his hand to stop: "No, please take good care of the aftermath. There are so many guests waiting in the front yard. Think of how to explain it."

By the time he finished speaking, Nan Jinghuan had already walked away.

Su Yihui watched Nan Jinghuan walk away, then turned his head and warned the maids and guards present in a cold voice: "I don't want anyone to leak a word about today's events. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

With that said, Su Yihui left with a puff of sleeves and walked towards the front yard.

Mingqing Pavilion

The stars in the sky are reflected on the sparkling pool surface, like little eyes blinking, there are too many to count.

The water in the pool is crystal clear, translucent blue, soft, and quiet. The breeze blows, and the silver crescent moon reflected on the pool surface ripples and slowly spreads out, adding a bit of tranquility to the summer night.

But no matter how beautiful this scenery is, it is nothing more beautiful than the woman in white lying by the pond, drinking wine.

The pair of white and delicate jade feet were submerged in the pool water, one by one, stirring the cool water. The slender and graceful body lay on the side of the pool, occasionally raising a glass to drink the wine.

Maybe because he was a little greedy, Su Moliang got drunk.

The usual pair of cold eyes were now blurry and misty, like quiet pool water, quiet and charming, the fair and beautiful cheeks were slightly stained with blush, and the originally well-groomed hair also fell scatteredly, losing the original cold, arrogant and unfeeling look.

Her temperament, on the contrary, has a charm that makes people embrace her and love her.
