On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Yan Ruyu remained calm and listened to what Madam Su said.

"I did go to the Wu family. I heard that the Wu family was wiped out. I was also very scared, but I still wanted to go and take a look, so I asked them to prepare a car to go and take a look. I just walked around the entrance and then went back."

Madam Su paused, glanced quickly at Yan Ruyu, met her dark eyes, and then lowered her head instantly.

"Are you suspecting that the one who destroyed the Wu family was the Wang Mansion?"

Mrs. Su nodded hesitantly.

"Why?" Yan Ruyu asked.

There must be a reason for this.

There was no reason for this, and Madam Su had never seen those knives - even if she had seen them, she wouldn't understand why she would suspect the palace?

Madam Su twisted her handkerchief with both hands: "Because... the Wu family was disrespectful to the princess, and many of the Wu family's servants were imprisoned and taught a lesson. This is not the case..."

She didn't dare to say the rest, but Yan Ruyu understood what she meant.

Isn't this all the work of the palace? Since the palace can frame the Wu family, it can also destroy the whole family.

It seemed logically correct, but Yan Ruyu still felt it was wrong.

She sneered, "Just because of this? Madam Su is really smart. She can see and think of it. Many people in the city don't have the insight of Madam Su."

Mrs. Su avoided her gaze and tried to force a smile, but failed.

Yan Ruyu turned her wrist, a black light flashed, and with a "swish" she cut the handkerchief in Madam Su's hand into two pieces.

The blade brushed past her right finger, and half of the bright red nail was cut off.

She had been twisting the handkerchief tightly, with all the strength in her hands on it, but it was suddenly broken and the strength in her hands was suddenly out of control, and she was immediately startled.

"Ah!" She cried out briefly, but when she saw her hands with cut nails, she could no longer make any sound.

His whole body was shaking like a sieve.

"Can you tell me?" Yan Ruyu asked calmly, "This is the last chance."

Madam Su's body went limp, and she almost couldn't sit still. She managed to hold on for a breath and said, "Yes, I can tell you."

"It was also my suggestion that the Wu family hold a flower viewing banquet."

Mrs. Su said in a trembling voice that this time it was like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, everything was revealed.

"Yes... my husband said that the Zhennan Palace made quite a stir when it first arrived here, which is not good for his career. We need to teach the Palace a lesson so that it... can't hold its head up high."

"He said that Madam Wu and Princess Yongchang were distant relatives, and reminded Madam Wu to target the prince's mother and bring up this old story. If people knew that there were such dirty things in the palace, it would...dilute the good impression of the prince among the people."

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly: "The prince has never had any dealings with your Su family, let alone any hostility, so how can it be said that it will be detrimental to his career?"

"He is the deputy governor, but how many people in the city mention him now? Aren't they all... Governor Cao and the royal palace?" Madam Su whispered, "Even the Shen family is gone, so won't our Su family be the next one?"

Yan Ruyu found it unbelievable. It is right to be prepared for danger in times of peace, but Su Wude's idea was too weird.

"Go on."

Madam Su continued, "That's what he said. I don't understand, so I just do what he says. I have some friendship with the third wife of the Wu family, so I invited her to have tea and asked her to go shopping at the jewelry store. I know that Madam Wu really wants the Wu family to prosper, but she doesn't have any connections. Princess Yongchang will definitely make her happy. I just need to give her some pointers."

"Sure enough, later I heard that the Wu family was going to hold a flower viewing banquet."

"But unfortunately, the Wu family failed to succeed," Madam Su lowered her head even lower, "Later, not only did they fail to suppress the palace, but their family became more and more unlucky. I dared not get involved anymore."

"I also asked my husband if it would cause trouble for us, and he said no, and asked me to stop associating with the Wu family."

"Of course I won't take the initiative to go to the Wu family again, I'm just afraid that the third wife of the Wu family will come to find me. Fortunately, I heard later that her husband was caught for secretly selling military rations and had to raise money. She was probably too busy and didn't have time, so I didn't see her come to find me."

"I thought the matter was over, but…" Madam Su clenched her hands, "Later I heard the news that the Wu family was wiped out."

"I was really scared, so I wondered if it was... revenge from the palace, so I couldn't help but go and take a look."

It was during that visit that Yan Ruyu's people discovered something and traced the case back to her.

If the Wu family had not entered Yan Ruyu's field of vision before, she would not have known that Madam Wu San and Madam Su had a friendship, and she would not have expected that the so-called flower-viewing party was actually instigated by Madam Su, an outsider.

Yan Ruyu lamented that the world is ever-changing and there are always unexpected sides to people, but she never showed it on her face.

"What happened next? You didn't mention this to Su Wude?"

"I told him. I told him when I got back. But he said that the Wu family's affairs had nothing to do with us. If it was really the palace that killed them, that would be the best. Anyway, it wasn't us who ordered it. When Governor Cao finds out, it will shock the whole city. Then..."

"By then, we will have cleared the obstacle of the palace."

Mrs. Su said that she had no confidence at the end. Now it seems that she was so naive at the beginning.

To them, the palace was a huge thing, even if it was not as big as before. It was not something that a small Su family or a deputy governor like them could shake.

Mrs. Su cursed herself inwardly, wondering why she was possessed at that time and why she believed all the nonsense Su Wude said?

"Did he tell you anything else besides this?"

Madam Su wept and shook her head: "It's gone. I regretted it so much even though I was asked to do it."

"Princess, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time."

Yan Ruyu didn't answer, but lifted the curtain and got out of the car.

The rest of Mrs. Su's words got stuck in her throat. She didn't know what it meant to leave like that.

Just as she was wondering whether she should chase after her and ask, Linlang came over, grabbed her shoulders, and pulled her off the carriage. She couldn't stand steadily and almost fell to the ground, with stars in front of her eyes.

Before she could scream in pain, Linlang pressed her acupuncture points and she couldn't even make a sound.

He was terrified and his hands and feet went limp. He was dragged by Linlang to the west side of the small dilapidated temple.

She stood trembling, and her acupoints were pressed again - this time she couldn't even move.

In the dilapidated temple, Wan Niang looked weak and pitiful. Feng Shao took a small stool and sat down, looking at her.

"how do you feel?"

Wan Niang only felt a burning sensation from her throat to her stomach after drinking the bottle of stuff.

She touched her throat and asked in horror, "What did you give me to drink?"

"What else could it be? It can't be a tonic," Feng Xiao smiled with his eyebrows slightly curved, "You don't deserve it, do you?"

"How about this," Feng Shao said in a friendly manner, but Wan Niang felt terrified. "Tell me what happened between you and Su Wude. If you explain clearly, I will let you go."

Wan Niang suddenly thought of something and asked tentatively, "You...you were sent by Madam Su?"
