Given Su Wan Ning's current relationship with the Li family, she will definitely attend the funeral.

Moreover, the dead should be respected. Regardless of what Feng was like in life, now that she is dead, Su Wan Ning has to make this trip.

Su Wan Ning was also worried. Staying in the shop all the time would definitely make those people feel constrained. She would definitely go to the Li family's place when the opportunity came.

However, she was a little worried about Su Tang.

After much deliberation, he sent Su Tang to Mu Xun's house to stay with Meng Lingwan for a few days before leaving the city himself.

As a result, they encountered the sixth prince, who was rushing into the city, right at the city gate.

"Sixth Young Master".

The sixth prince, driving a carriage, asked curiously, "Where are you going at this hour if you're not opening your shop?"

The carriage looked ordinary, and there were no guards around it, but who else could be sitting inside if the Sixth Prince was driving it himself?

Su Wan Ning's mind raced.

"The Third Madam of the Li family has passed away. Would the Sixth Young Master like to come along?"

The Sixth Prince had visited the Ancestor. With such a major incident happening to the Li family, it was impossible for the Sixth Prince not to go. As long as he came with me, and those people didn't know the Sixth Prince's identity, it would be interesting if I could provoke them to attack him.

It would be even more interesting if it affected the person in the carriage.

"Wait a minute."

The sixth prince hesitated for a moment, then turned and got into the carriage.

She came out again soon. "Miss Su, get in the carriage and come with me to the Li family."

With that, he turned his horse around and stopped in front of Su Wan Ning.

"it is good."

Su Wanning got into the car and had just sat down when she noticed someone staring at her.

It seems there was more than one person in the carriage?

The Sixth Prince heard a lot about the Li family when he last visited, especially the turmoil at the birthday banquet. At that time, he didn't trust Su Wan Ning at all, thinking she was just a cook who had been kicked out of the palace.

In order to refute him, Li Jun recounted how Su Wan Ning cleverly embellished the story at the birthday banquet.

There were also three wives, who were therefore punished by being confined to their quarters.

But only a few days later, the Third Madam died?

He looked at Su Wan Ning with suspicion, "What's going on with the Third Madam of the Li family?"

"They say that a few nights ago, a fire broke out in the Third Madam's courtyard, and she was seriously injured on the spot."

Su Wanning shook her head. "I'm not too sure about the specifics either. You can ask Lady Yun and the others later, Sixth Young Master."

The sixth prince remained silent.

He actually wanted to ask how it could be such a coincidence, but then felt it wasn't appropriate, so he kept quiet and rushed to catch his train.

The group headed straight for Xiushui Village, but just as they reached a short distance from Shili Village, a group of people suddenly rushed out.

The group didn't waste any time and went straight for Su Wan Ning.

"Ah, Sixth Young Master, save me!"

Su Wan Ning seemed startled and plunged headfirst into the carriage.

It was hot and stuffy outside the carriage, but as soon as one entered, one felt a cool breeze and a faint fragrance.

"Who gave you permission to come in?!"

A soft, feminine voice suddenly rebuked him.

Although Su Wan Ning already had a guess in her heart, she still pretended to be scared and shocked, "Help!"

She looked up and met the gaze of a palace eunuch. "Please, young master, save me! There are people outside, and they seem to be coming for me! Waaah!"

Su Wan Ning covered her face and pretended to cry, peeking through her fingers at the eunuch's back, where she saw a young man in brocade robes.

Screams could be heard coming from outside the carriage.

"I'm not afraid."

The young man in brocade spoke gently, and lightly flicked his wrist.

The eunuch stepped aside, head bowed, and said nothing more.

The young man in brocade robes then revealed his face.

Su Wanning was momentarily dazed.

If Li Xuzhi was as beautiful as a fragile porcelain vase, then the person before them was a tiger in all but name. Even though his face was thin and pale, it couldn't hide the sharp edge within.

Even a sick or weak tiger is still a tiger.

But this is the same person who, in his past life, became the high branch Lin Yuwei climbed up and the Lin family's backer, which is why those ingrates dared to torture and kill him!

Hatred overwhelmed her almost instantly.

Su Wan Ning bit her lip hard until it bled, then quickly regained her composure and forced a weak, pitiful expression. "Outside..."

He hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself, timid and hesitant.

"It's alright, Madam Su, please sit down. It will be ready soon."

He smiled, his eyes quickly sweeping over the young woman's face.

She does indeed resemble Madam Lin somewhat; it seems that most of what we found is true.

"You know me?"

Since the name had already been called out, Su Wan Ning had no choice but to feign surprise.

"Don't you know me too?"

He had an expression that said he knew everything.

"..."

Su Wanning quickly lowered her head. "I don't know."

Don't talk nonsense!

The commotion outside subsided, and the Sixth Prince slipped in. "They've taken everyone away. They say someone paid money to kill Lady Su."

Both of them looked at Su Wanning.

"..."

Su Wan Ning felt a chill run down her spine. Something felt off. It was as if they knew everything.

"Alright, Madam Su, stop acting, we all know."

The sixth prince felt like laughing when he saw her like this.

He was stupid; he came from the palace, yet that day the prince didn't recognize him. He even rushed to deliver the things back to the crown prince. It wasn't until after he found out everything that he realized he had been used as a 'pawn'!

However, this young woman is also pitiful, being schemed against by her own family.

"Alright, Su Wan Ning greets the Sixth Prince and His Highness the Crown Prince."

Su Wanning could no longer pretend not to know him.

The sixth prince snorted.

The Crown Prince smiled and said, "No need for formalities. I'd like to try Lady Su's cooking later."

"it is good."

Su Wanning naturally couldn't refuse.

By this time, everything outside had been tidied up, and the Sixth Prince went out again to catch the carriage.

The Crown Prince was very direct: "I've already locked Lin Yuwei up. You can tell me what exactly happened."

What we find out is one thing, but we still need to hear what the person involved has to say.

Su Wan Ning was taken aback by how smoothly things went. After a moment of surprise, she immediately reacted, "Your Highness, please do justice for me!"

Then, starting with the mountain delicacy soup, they talked about how Lin Yuwei forged an imperial decree, not only giving her a release document but also sending her out of the palace. On the way, she colluded with Zhao the镖头 (bodyguard) to try to destroy both of her hands.

Later, he obtained her medicinal diet recipes through Li.

Even now, there's that group of people outside.

"They came for me, but I have never made enemies with anyone. The only possibility is the Lin family, and Lin Jiabao went to Jiushan Village in Yi'an County a few days ago."

Su Wanning didn't go into more detail.

She believed that with the Crown Prince's abilities, he would find out the truth soon enough. Saying too much would only make things worse.

The Crown Prince understood her unspoken meaning, nodded, and knocked on the carriage twice. Immediately, a guard took the order and left.

The carriage quieted down, and thankfully the group soon arrived at the Li family's residence.

The sixth prince did not reveal his identity as the crown prince, but the Li family could still guess it, and hurriedly welcomed him in respectfully.

When they saw Su Wan Ning beside the Crown Prince, they were all startled.
