Chapter 19 Turning danger into safety
Su Jinxiu's personal maid noticed the food was unusual and stopped her from eating. Through investigation, Su Jinxiu uncovered the servant who had been bribed by Su Yue.
"Miss, this food smells off, please don't eat it," Xiao Cui said nervously.
Su Jinxiu was startled, and her eyes sharpened. She knew there must be a conspiracy behind this, so she decided to investigate secretly.
After a thorough interrogation and investigation, Su Jinxiu finally found out that the servant who had been bribed by Su Yue was none other than Ah San, the kitchen helper.
"Tell me, who ordered you to do this?" Su Jinxiu stared intently at Ah San.
Ah San trembled with fear. "Miss, spare me! It was the Second Miss! The Second Miss gave me the money to poison your food!"
Su Jinxiu snorted coldly, "Take him away and keep a close watch on him."
This incident caused widespread panic throughout the Marquis's household. The old lady was even more furious upon learning of it.
"This Su Yue is simply lawless, daring to do such a heinous thing!" the old lady said, slamming her hand on the table.
Su Jinxiu comforted the old lady, "Grandmother, don't get angry, it will harm your health. I will handle this matter."
However, there has been a wave of unrest.
After being expelled from the Marquis's mansion, Su Yue did not give up. She colluded with some local thugs and hooligans, attempting to sneak into the mansion at night to take revenge on Su Jinxiu.
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high. While on patrol, the guards of the Marquis's mansion suddenly discovered a group of dark figures scaling the wall and entering.
"An assassin!" the guard shouted.
Chaos erupted immediately within the Marquis's residence.
Hearing the noise, Su Jinxiu quickly got up.
"Xiao Cui, bring me my sword." Su Jinxiu remained fearless in the face of danger.
She, along with her maids and servants, engaged in a fierce battle with the local thugs.
"You bunch of rabble, how dare you cause trouble at the Marquis's residence!" Su Jinxiu's swordsmanship was sharp and her movements were agile.
The thugs were gradually outmatched and began to flee in all directions.
Just then, Xiao Ling arrived with the guards from the Prince's Palace.
"Jinxiu, are you alright?" Xiao Ling asked with concern.
Su Jinxiu shook her head. "Thank you, Your Highness. I'm fine."
With Xiao Ling's help, the thugs were all captured.
After this incident, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling became even closer.
But at the same time, the situation in the imperial court became increasingly tense.
Xiao Ling's political enemies seized upon the chaos at the Marquis's residence to make a big fuss before the emperor, falsely accusing Xiao Ling of colluding with the Marquis's residence and plotting treason.
The emperor, heeding slanderous words, began to doubt Xiao Ling.
"Your Highness, what should we do?" Su Jinxiu asked worriedly.
Xiao Ling pondered for a moment, "Don't panic, we need to find evidence to prove our innocence."
So they began to secretly gather evidence to expose their political enemies' conspiracies.
In this process, they encountered numerous difficulties and obstacles.
Someone was sabotaging their investigation, and someone else was trying to assassinate them.
But Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling never gave up, supporting each other and facing the challenges together.
Finally, they found crucial evidence proving that it was all a frame-up by their political enemies.
When the emperor learned the truth, he was furious and severely punished those who had framed Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling's position in the court became more secure as a result, and Su Jinxiu won the respect of everyone because of her intelligence and courage.
After this series of ups and downs, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling's relationship deepened.
They decided that no matter what difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, they would stand together through them, never abandoning each other...
