Su Nansheng walked up to Bi Tao and whispered, "After rescuing her, knock her out."
Bi Tao nodded, then loudly said,
"Second Young Mistress, don't be afraid. This servant will rescue you immediately."
After saying that, Bi Tao didn't step forward to carry her down. Instead, she looked around the room.
After searching for a round, her eyes fell on the scissors beside the candelabra.
Bi Tao picked up the scissors and looked at Su Hele, who was still swaying. She gave a strange smile.
Then, with a flying leap, the scissors sliced through the white silk, making a crisp sound.
Immediately after, the white silk broke, and Su Hele instantly fell, making a thud as she hit the ground and let out a wail.
Before the servant girl, Su Mo, outside could ask, Bi Tao let out a shout:
"Great! I've rescued Second Young Mistress."
As she said that, she quickly stepped forward and reached out to help the angry Su Hele up. She also gave her a heavy blow to the back of her neck.
Then, Su Hele's body went limp and she fainted.
"Madam, look. She's fainted."
Bi Tao's eyes were shining with excitement.
Su Nansheng showed a helpless expression. Bi Tao was really not afraid of trouble with all her shouting and jumping.
"Madam, what should this servant do next?"
Su Nansheng looked at Su Hele, who was still lying on the ground. Her face was as calm as water:
"You stay here and watch her. Wait for me to return. If she wakes up earlier..."
"This servant knows, this servant knows. By then, this servant will give her another blow!"
Bi Tao excitedly made a chopping motion with her hand at Su Hele's neck.
When she saw this, Su Nansheng couldn't help but smile. Her mood eased slightly.
...
Su Nansheng returned to the Listening to the Wind Courtyard. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Hong Zhu, who looked a little nervous.
"Are you ready?"
When she had just left, she had ordered Ru Yi to call Hong Zhu over to prepare. Now was the time for her to appear on stage.
Hong Zhu nodded, then followed Su Nansheng as she walked to the Jade Blossom Courtyard.
Chen Wanrong was wondering why the servant girl beside Su Nansheng had changed when she saw Hong Zhu kneel on the ground.
"Madam, please give this servant justice."
Not long later, the servant girls outside heard Chen Wanrong let out a roar:
"Go and call Lady Li over! Also, order someone to go to the government office and call He Jin back for me."
Lady Li was very reluctant when she came over. She was very busy now. Why would she call her over for no reason?
But when she saw Chen Wanrong's angry face, she immediately put away her unhappy expression and instead smiled:
"I wonder why Madam called this concubine over?"
As Lady Li accompanied her with a smile, she was feeling anxious. Could it be that Su Hele had done something stupid again?
Chen Wanrong pointed at Hong Zhu, who was kneeling on the ground:
"Listen for yourself!"
Lady Li looked at Hong Zhu doubtfully. As Hong Zhu told her story, the expression on Lady Li's face changed from doubt to panic and finally to anger.
"Impossible! A Jin couldn't have done such a thing!"
Lady Li flatly denied it.
This kind of thing was the most embarrassing. Even if it was true, she couldn't admit it.
"Lady Li, this servant's words are all true. There isn't a single lie. This servant has the jade pendant that Second Young Master gave me as evidence."
As she said that, Hong Zhu took out a jade pendant from her bosom. There was a carving of the character "Jin" in the center.
When this jade pendant appeared, Lady Li panicked again.
One had to know that the jade pendants that He Jin carried with him all had special markings. If Chen Wanrong insisted on investigating, there would definitely be a way to prove that this jade pendant was He Jin's.
She couldn't continue denying it, so she could only say:
"There are so many similar jade pendants in this world. Even if it is A Jin's, so what? It could be that he lost it, or it could be that she stole it!"
Chen Wanrong let out a cold snort. She looked at Lady Li and said:
"Since it is a jade pendant that one carries with one, if it was lost, did He Jin search for it? If it was stolen, she is a servant girl who serves in the first wife's household. If she didn't have He Jin's permission, how could she get close to He Jin and steal his jade pendant?"
Lady Li was stunned for a moment. She said coldly:
"This concubine doesn't know."
Su Nansheng showed a cold smile. She knew that it would be like this.
She didn't let Hong Zhu say that He Jin had ordered her to monitor He Xun.
One was because there was no evidence. It was all just words.
Even though they had the jade pendant in their hands, Lady Li didn't admit that He Jin had defiled Hong Zhu. How much less would she admit to the unseemly act of monitoring his elder brother?
The second was because the timing wasn't right.
This kind of thing that involved the struggle for the title between the legitimate and the illegitimate children was better decided by the old Marquis. Now that the old Marquis wasn't in the residence, it was beyond his reach.
But once Chen Wanrong found out about this, she definitely wouldn't let it go.
If she were to punish He Jin for this without evidence, it would inevitably attract criticism.
Su Nansheng didn't believe that He Jin would only do this one stupid thing, so there was still a long time to come. She could afford to wait.
She anticipated that this matter would be a muddled account, so Su Nansheng said:
"Lady Li, to confirm this matter and avoid misunderstandings, I specifically went to ask Second Young Mistress. I didn't expect that she already knew about this matter and even committed suicide because of it. She is still lying on the bed now."
"What?"
Su Hele had silently committed suicide. Didn't this mean that she had admitted to this matter?
Lady Li was even more flustered in her heart, but she still forced herself to calm down and said:
"I don't believe it. I want to hear her say it personally."
Who knew if Su Nansheng was lying to her.
Chen Wanrong immediately said, "Go and invite Second Young Mistress over."
Lady Li's eyes moved. She quickly said, "This concubine will go personally."
Su Nansheng stood up before her and said:
"To avoid suspicion, it's better if I go and invite Second Young Mistress."
Lady Li subconsciously wanted to object, but when she thought about the current relationship between the two sisters, which was like water and fire, she didn't object.
Anyway, Su Nansheng couldn't threaten Su Hele. If she wanted to go, then go.
...
When she arrived at the bedroom in the Azure Waves Courtyard, she saw Su Mo still guarding the door.
"Su Mo, you took care of Second Young Mistress inadequately and caused her to commit suicide. Go and kneel in front of Madam. There will be a punishment later."
After watching Su Mo leave, Su Nansheng entered the room.
When she entered the inner room, she saw that Su Hele had already been carried to the bed. She was still sleeping.
"Madam, how did things go?"
Bi Tao was originally sitting on the chair beside her, watching Su Hele. When she saw her enter, she immediately stood up and walked over to her.
Su Nansheng sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Su Hele, whose neck already had a red mark:
"For now, things are going smoothly. We just need to get her involved. Has she woken up?"
When she saw Bi Tao shake her head, Su Nansheng told her to wake Su Hele up.
Bi Tao immediately pinched Su Hele on the philtrum. Her strength was very strong.
Su Hele slowly woke up. She looked at the white bed curtains and was a little confused.
Then, she felt a burning pain on her neck. She touched it with her hand and felt a raised bump. It was hot and stinging.
Su Hele immediately came back to her senses. Didn't she pretend to commit suicide? Why did she faint?
That's right. It was from the fall. It was Bi Tao who had made her fall.
Wasn't Bi Tao good at martial arts? Why did she make her fall? Didn't she know to carry her down!
Just as she was thinking, she heard Su Nansheng's voice sound beside her ear:
"You're awake."
Su Hele was shocked. She turned her head and saw Su Nansheng's cold face.
