On the way back, Yan Zhi was still thinking about this matter, wondering whether she should tell Su Wanrou about it.

Should we... push Shen Yunshuang into the eye of the storm?

Her hands, hidden in her sleeves, clenched tightly. To be honest, she had no grudge against Shen Yunshuang. Based on just a guess, speaking out so casually could very well tarnish the reputation of an unmarried young lady.

Rouge hesitated, and also felt somewhat guilty towards Shen Yunshuang.

But in reality, she was already in dire straits herself.

Seeing that the young master had no interest in her, her situation was predictable.

But if the reason why the young master is not interested in her is attributed to him having another woman he likes... wouldn't Su Wanrou's attention be diverted?

And she wouldn't seem so useless.

Her gaze slowly turned cold as she thought, "As the old saying goes, 'Every man for himself, or the world will destroy him.' Shen Yunshuang, I admit I've wronged you this time, but I truly have no other choice!"

Jinlan Courtyard

Upon hearing Rouge's words, Su Wanrou's face turned ashen, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Are you sure you're looking correctly?"

Rouge flinched and said, "I saw it clearly. That handkerchief was used by Miss Biao, and it even had a frost flower embroidered on it... Doesn't that perfectly match Miss Biao's name?"

Before she could finish speaking, Su Wanrou had already knocked a teacup to the ground.

The crisp sound made Rouge's heart tremble. She then secretly glanced at her mistress's face, which was pale and bluish-white. Her chest heaved with anger, as if she had suffered a great blow.

Su Wanrou hated Shen Yunshuang to the core at this moment; she knew that little hussy was restless.

Indeed, with that kind of appearance, how could she be a well-behaved person?

But there are plenty of men in this world, why would someone want to steal her husband?

Su Wanrou was extremely agitated. Besides hatred, she also felt a nameless fear. After all, Pei Jingnian had indeed placed Shen Yunshuang's handkerchief into his sleeve!

She dared not imagine what her husband thought of Shen Yunshuang.

Seeing that Su Wanrou's expression was off, Zhou Mama quickly stepped forward and said, "Madam, it's just a handkerchief. The young master probably picked it up casually and hasn't had time to return it yet. Why are you so angry?"

She had served Su Wanrou for a long time, and with just a few words, she dispelled Rouge's previous statement and found a new possibility for the matter, a possibility that Su Wanrou could accept more easily.

However, although she spoke slowly and deliberately, her gaze was sharp when she looked at Yan Zhi.

In her mind, this handkerchief meant nothing. Shen Yunshuang was a respectable young lady from a respectable family, so how could she be exchanging gifts in private?

It is only because the lady values ​​the young master too much that she lost her composure like this.

Rouge, that girl, is so gossipy and doesn't seem like a good person.

"Madam knows what you said. You may leave," Zhou's mother said coldly.

After Rouge left, Zhou Mama looked at Su Wanrou again and saw that her eyes were red. Her heart softened, and she stepped forward to wipe away her tears: "Madam, why are you like this? What that girl Rouge said is not something to be believed!"

Su Wanrou scoffed, "That girl Yanzhi is so timid and cowardly, how could she dare to lie to me?!"

"This old servant doesn't think so. That girl is very cunning." After all, Zhou Mama was experienced and had seen many people. She had already noticed that Rouge was not right.

What she couldn't understand was that even though the madam had helped her win favor so much, her mind seemed to be elsewhere.

Could it be that she looks down on the young master? She's just a maid; it's truly baffling.

Su Wanrou had no time to investigate Yan Zhi's thoughts; her mind was preoccupied with the handkerchief in her husband's sleeve.

She hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "I'm going to ask my husband!"

"Oh dear, you mustn't do that, Madam!" Zhou's mother quickly pulled her away.

She knew that Su Wanrou was in a bad mood, and going to see the young master would not be a wise choice.

"If you go and question the young master now, firstly, you'll likely get nothing out of him and might even anger him. Secondly, if the young master simply picked up the handkerchief, then he has no feelings for Miss Biao. If you go and question him, you might just rekindle his interest, which would be a net loss."

Su Wanrou wasn't so angry that she lost her temper, and she found Zhou's mother's words to be reasonable.

However, I felt a tightness in my chest that I couldn't release no matter what I did.

Her face darkened as she looked outside and said quietly, "Then let's go to Ningxiang Pavilion!"
