Su Waner continued to cry: "Grandma, I know that Brother Rui and I are engaged, but do you have the heart to let your granddaughter marry someone you don't love and regret it for the rest of your life?"

These words touched Mrs. Su's heart, and her eyes turned red.

She stroked Su Wan'er's back and comforted her: "Grandma understands that your marriage to the Li family will be settled for you."

"Grandma, Wan'er knows that you love Wan'er the most!"

"But you have to promise grandma one thing."

Mrs. Su's expression was a bit solemn.

Su Wan'er hurriedly said: "Grandma, if you need anything, just say it, Wan'er will definitely do it."

"Before the marriage between you and the Li family is settled, you must not let outsiders know about your affection for King Yu. You also know that people follow their opinions, and once any unpleasant news comes out, it will not be a good thing for you and the Su family."

Mrs. Su stared at Su Wan'er closely, as if she could not refuse.

Su Wan'er blinked and nodded heavily, "Grandma, don't worry, Wan'er listens to you!"

"That's good."

Mrs. Su breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Su Wan'er up and let her sit next to her.

She looked at Su Wan'er's side face, and her tone became more loving: "When you come back this time, you will stay in the Su Mansion. After spring, grandma will definitely make arrangements for you."

"Thank you grandma."

Su Waner lowered her eyes, disdain flashing in her eyes.

She had been with Mrs. Su for so many years, ostensibly for her own good, but nothing was done for the Su family.

What Mrs. Su really cares about is probably the Su family!

Su Waner chatted with Mrs. Su for a while longer before getting up and leaving.

Return to the peony garden.

The servants are still busy.

"Miss, you are back."

Yuyao saw Su Waner and hurried forward to greet her.

"Where's Granny Lan?"

Amelia Su asked.

"Grandma Lan is in the house."

"I have something to say to Granny Lan. Don't let anyone come in."

"yes."

Su Waner entered the room, and Granny Lan was sitting on a chair, wondering what she was thinking.

When Amelia Su came closer, she raised her head and looked at her.

"Miss."

Granny Lan stood up and nodded to Su Waner.

"Grandma Lan, how is Li Rui's condition?"

"Li Rui's yard is tightly surrounded, and I haven't been able to find it yet."

Su Waner glanced at Granny Lan. Although Granny Lan had been with her not long after she was born, she still hadn't figured out who Granny Lan was after all these years.

The things Granny Lan gave her were things she had never seen before.

Sometimes, Amelia Su is even a little afraid of Granny Lan.

She was worried that one day, if Granny Lan betrayed her, she would be quietly destroyed by the other party.

"Miss, what are you thinking about?"

Su Waner came back to her senses, looked at Granny Lan's worried eyes, and pursed her lips.

"Grandma Lan, I feel a little uncomfortable."

"But you caught a cold?"

With that said, Granny Lan was about to check Su Waner's pulse.

But Su Waner dodged it.

"Grandma Lan, it's not that I feel uncomfortable, I'm just thinking about Li Rui. If I don't know about his situation, I won't be able to rest at ease."

Granny Lan frowned, but the next moment her eyes became firm.

"Don't worry, young lady, I will go to the Li Mansion again tonight and I will definitely find out the situation."

"Then I'll trouble Granny Lan."

Su Waner stared at Granny Lan's leaving figure, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

She wasn't worried about Li Rui's situation at all. She just wanted to see how far Granny Lan could go for her.

I hope Granny Lan will not betray her trust.

Dali Temple is still investigating Zhang Shouyi.

Su Leyun was happy to have some free time and stayed in the house with Lian Xin.

"Miss, how do you know the other party will come to you at night?"

Lian Xin still felt frightened when she thought of what happened last night.

Fortunately, the young lady was smart and let her lie on the bed, otherwise she would not be able to save the young lady if she was kidnapped.

Su Leyun thought for a moment, "I just took a guess. It's not last night, but tonight or tomorrow night. Even though he wears more clothes in winter, I still saw his Adam's apple. Tell me, how could a woman do that?" Do you have an Adam's apple?"

"I didn't even notice it."

Lian Xin was stunned. She didn't expect that the young lady had even seen this.

"But there's something I didn't expect."

Su Leyun shook her head. She did not expect that the other party would commit suicide.

After the words fell, Lian Xin saw Su Leyun's expression condensed.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

"Lian Xin, let's go take a look at the body."

"ah?"

Lian Xin subconsciously followed Su Leyun and ran out.

The corpse was now placed in the morgue of Dali Temple. When she arrived at the place, Lian Xin felt a chill all over her body and did not dare to go in.

But seeing Su Leyun push open the door with a calm expression, she gritted her teeth and followed in.

"Miss, why are we looking at the body?"

Lian Xin followed Su Leyun while shaking her body, looking around uneasily.

There were not many corpses in the morgue. Apart from the 'Liu' who committed suicide, there were three corpses scattered around.

Su Leyun ignored the three corpses and walked straight to the body of 'Ms. Liu'.

She took out the silver needle from the back of 'Ms. Liu''s neck, not because she was afraid that the needle would be seen and made suspicious.

After the silver needle was taken out, Su Leyun burned it on the candle for a while, and then stabbed it into 'Ms. Liu's' throat.

Lian Xin watched Su Leyun's movements and swallowed several times.

The silver needle gradually turned black.

Su Leyun's expression was not very pretty.

She stretched out her hand to pry open 'Ms. Liu's' mouth. Seeing this, Lian Xin hurriedly said: "Miss, please wait a moment."

With that said, Lian Xin took out a handkerchief from her arms and handed it to Su Leyun, "Miss, you are so precious."

Su Leyun took the handkerchief and opened 'Ms. Liu's' mouth with the handkerchief.

A very faint stench wafted out.

Lian Xin didn't smell it.

When she saw the blackened blood in 'Ms. Liu's' mouth, she couldn't help but feel sick to her stomach.

She covered her mouth and turned away not to look at the body.

But when she turned her head, she saw a corpse not far behind. It was not covered with a white cloth and its face was naked, which made her even more frightened.

Lian Xin had no choice but to turn her head back and only stared at Su Leyun, not daring to move.

"It's indeed the same poison."

Su Leyun said in a very soft voice.

Lian Xin didn't hear clearly and asked, "Miss, what did you say?"

"Let's go."

Su Leyun took off the veil and lit it on the candle.

When they left the morgue, the veil was half burned and was thrown to the ground by Su Leyun.

When Su Leyun learned that 'Liu' had committed suicide, he felt vaguely familiar with it, but he didn't remember it for a moment.

It wasn't until Lian Xin asked a few questions just now that she suddenly remembered.

The way 'Liu Shi' committed suicide was somewhat similar to Ah Jiu's.

However, Ah Jiu did not succeed in committing suicide, and the poison was removed by Wei Ya.

Su Leyun only took a glance at it, but remembered the smell.
