Second Married Dandy: She went crazy to kill the eldest daughter

Chapter 206
Apart from the fact that the Duke held a dispensable official position in the court, all the other men in the Duke's residence relied on the properties of their natal families, and they all had the spirit of merchants.

After Su Chengying briefly greeted Fourth Master, she entered the back room, not wanting to bump into the eldest lady and Mother Sun again.

When Mama Sun saw Su Chengying, she was filled with fear and hatred.

She obviously looked down upon Su Chengying, but she didn't expect that this person still ran away under her nose, causing the eldest lady to scold her.

The eldest lady, Mrs. Liu, acted as if nothing had happened. She said a few words to Su Chengying and left.

Now that Su Zhenzhen has been locked up, she will naturally not break up with Su Chengying and expose herself at this time.

Su Chengying was thinking about the fourth lady Jin, and had no time to deal with the eldest lady Liu. Before the eldest lady could take Mother Sun out of the door, she entered the back room first.

On the bed, the fourth lady Jin was lying with a pale face, surrounded by Dongfang Chunyue and Dongfang Jingyu.

Seeing Su Chengying approaching, Dongfang Chunyue frowned and said, "What are you doing here? If it weren't for you..."

"Sister, don't talk nonsense!" Before Dongfang Chunyue could finish speaking, Dongfang Jingyu pulled the person behind him and saluted Su Chengying, "Sister is just worried about her mother's health, and hopes that my sister-in-law will not be the same as her."

Now that the Fourth Lady Jin is still lying on the bed unconscious, Su Chengying naturally doesn't care about anything with Dongfang Chunyue. She just looks at Dongfang Jingyu and simply asks, "Are there any signs before the Fourth Lady falls into coma?"

Dongfang Jingyu's eyes flickered, "No, no."

Su Chengying looked at Dongfang Jingyu and frowned slightly, clearly feeling that he was hiding something.

Dongfang Jingyu paused and said, "Mother fainted without saying a few words after she came back. Could it be that she was too tired at Huguo Temple yesterday?"

Su Chengying saw that Dongfang Jingyu was unwilling to say anything, so she didn't ask any more questions. She walked to the bed and put her hand on the fourth lady Jin's wrist. She soon noticed the instability of the pulse under her fingertips.

Obviously, the fourth lady Jin was stimulated by something.

Su Chengying took out the needle pack in the medicine box, spread it out, took out two of the thinnest ones, and dropped them on the two acupuncture points of the fourth lady Jin's family.

As the silver needle kept turning, soon, the fourth lady Jin took a sharp breath and opened her eyes.

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo..."

The Fourth Lady Jin subconsciously covered her heart and kept panting.

After a moment, she said, "Where can anyone raise a price like this? It's simply too much!"

"Mother!" Dongfang Jingyu reminded him.

The Fourth Madam Jin came to her senses in panic, and then she saw Su Chengying sitting beside the bed.

Just when the fourth lady Jin was thinking about how to explain what she just said, she heard Su Chengying say, "I just diagnosed the fourth lady and found that the fourth lady fainted temporarily because of her anger. Then after hearing what the fourth lady said... ...If I’m not wrong, there should be something wrong with brother Jingyu’s marriage.”

The fourth lady, Jin, "..."

She just said one sentence, how come Her Highness the Princess knew everything?

Dongfang Jingyu had always known that Su Chengying was smart, but he didn't expect that she would be so smart. He could guess the whole story just from his mother's words.Seeing that she could no longer hide it, the fourth lady Jin simply held Su Chengying's hand and vented, "Originally, the betrothal gift was well negotiated, but who would have thought that the Gao family, who was studying in the Hanlin Academy, suddenly went back on his word, saying that he had heard that our Duke The house is not in good order, so I don't feel comfortable sending my daughter over. If we insist on marrying someone into the house, we will have to add [-]% of the betrothal gift."

Su Chengying frowned and said, "So, does the Gao family know about my sister?"

The fourth lady, Jin, nodded and said, "The cousin who is studying at the Hanlin Academy is a noble person in the palace. She is probably the one who informed the Gao family of the news."

Dongfang Jingyu frowned and said, "Since the Gao family doesn't want to marry their daughter, I just won't marry her."

Su Chengying always felt that there were many clues to this matter.

It is true that she spread the news into the palace, but according to the emperor's character, he will completely block the news after knowing it. After all, the old lady is the princess of the royal family, and the emperor also has to worry about the royal face. Besides, this The matter still involves the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the emperor will never let the rumors spread.

As the fourth lady Jin said, the cousin who was studying at the Hanlin Academy was just a little noble person, so how could she dare to spread the news so boldly?
Furthermore, the accident in the Duke's Mansion was just an aunt, not a daughter to be married. It had nothing to do with the good reputation of the Duke's Mansion. How could a Imperial Academy student dare to sit on the ground and raise prices.

"Fourth Madam must be steady. Since the Gao family dares to speak loudly, Fourth Madam can find someone to bargain with the Gao family and first see what the Gao family's attitude is." Su Chengying said.

No matter what the Gao family is planning this time, clues will always come out with just a little probing.

After the fourth lady Jin was stabilized, Su Chengying went to the main courtyard again and told the old lady about the Gao family's affairs.

The old lady was not just a short-sighted person living in the backyard. She immediately asked Mother Zhang to send someone to find out the news. However, the old lady did not express her position on how to deal with Su Zhenzhen.

Su Chengying knew in her heart that the old lady's delay in dealing with Su Zhenzhen was because she was worried about the emperor, and the emperor's delaying the matter was also because he wanted to see the old lady again.

Su Chengying put Su Zhenzhen and Qin Zhangyuan in today's situation, not just to watch these two people live a stable life.

It's time to push hard.

After leaving the main courtyard, Su Chengying ordered someone to hitch the carriage.

I didn't want to but heard the young man say, "The young master is waiting for His Highness the Princess at the gate of the palace. The Young Master said that if Her Highness the Princess enters the palace, he will just drop by."

Su Chengying came all the way to the door of the house, and sure enough she saw a carriage waiting quietly at the foot of the steps.

As if hearing footsteps, the person sitting in the carriage stretched out his hand. Under the moonlight, the white palm with thin calluses slowly spread out in front of Su Chengying's eyes. The fingers were slender and the joints were clear.

The moment Su Chengying put her hand into the palm, she was pulled closer to the carriage by the person inside.

Seeing this, Zhixu quickly jumped on the carriage and shook the horse rope in his hand.

In the carriage, Su Chengying looked at Dongfang Yuebai and asked, "How did you guess that I would enter the palace?"

Dongfang Yuebai leaned on the sofa, knocked on the table with the fan in his hand, and said casually, "Today Lu Zhijie accidentally slipped and fell into the lake in the palace. He happened to be bumped into by a passing nobleman, and he called Lu Zhijie in time. He was rescued and brought ashore, and just now the emperor summoned the nobleman to stay overnight in front of the emperor."

Su Chengying's heart tightened, "The nobleman you mentioned is named Gao?"
