After Su Jingchen left the study, he kept thinking about what happened today, and he went to Su Jingning's yard to hear her thoughts.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw An Xia coming out of the house. An Xia was not a servant of the Su Mansion, but was brought by Ning Ning after she came back from Jiangnan. He checked her background and found that she was an orphan with no relatives and some martial arts skills. Speaking of which, he seemed to have not seen her for a long time.

"I've met the prince."

"An Xia, I haven't seen you for a long time. Where did you go these days?" Su Jingchen asked.

"The young lady missed the old man in Yucheng, so she sent me to Yucheng to give him some things." An Xia leaned over and replied in a low voice.

"Yeah." Su Jingchen looked at An Xia thoughtfully and went into the house.

"Brother? Why are you here?" Su Jingning had just finished drinking the medicine that Yun Ya brought in, and was stuffing a piece of candy into his mouth with a bitter face.

"I came to see you." Su Jingchen sat down opposite Su Jingning. After a long while, he asked.

"Ningning, do you know that today, His Royal Highness Prince Ling was stripped of his throne and exiled to Youzhou in the southern border because he forged a military report and framed my father? Chen Ruofu forged a military report and will be sentenced to death."

Su Jingning paused as he was pouring tea for Su Jingchen.

"Brother, do you want to ask if this matter has anything to do with me?" Su Jingning said softly, handing the tea to Su Jingchen.

"I did it." Su Jingning looked calm and admitted it to Su Jingchen. She didn't want to lie to her elder brother.

"Why did you do this?" Su Jingchen had a vague idea of ​​what was going on when he saw An Xia. An Xia had grown up in the underworld and knew many talented people. But he didn't understand why Ning Ning would take such a big risk to frame Mu Ling.

"Because the Su family will not tolerate betrayers. Chen Ruofu deserves to die! She revealed the Su family's military strength in the northern border to Mu Ling, and conspired with Mu Ling to attack the Su family. I can't leave any harm to the Su family. As for Mu Ling, he wanted to marry me as a concubine and use me as a threat to make the Su family work for him. He dared to extend his hand to the Su family and wanted to use the Su family, so he should pay the price." Su Jingning looked at Su Jingchen, his voice was cold, and his black eyes were full of coldness.

Su Jingchen looked at Su Jingning, not knowing what to say. Ningning had always been gentle, and he had never seen her so cold.

Su Jingning lowered her head, and suddenly she was afraid to look at Su Jingchen. She was afraid that her elder brother would see disappointment in her. Her plan was not fair and honest. This was not the style of the Su family. But she did not regret it! The once innocent Su Jingning had died long ago. God wanted her to live again to make up for the mistakes she made in her previous life. She would never be soft-hearted to those who betrayed and hurt her.

Suddenly, a big warm hand slowly landed on her head and rubbed it gently.

"Ningning, I know you have been very smart since you were young. But you must always remember that you are never alone. You have a father and a mother, and you have brothers and sisters. No matter what you want to do, you must learn to discuss it with us instead of doing such a dangerous thing alone."

“It’s not worth risking your safety for the sake of Prince Ling and Chen Ruofu. If Prince Ling sees through the trap you set today, you know how dangerous it is. You have your father and brothers to protect you, you just need to be happy and do what you like.” Su Jingchen’s voice was gentle and helpless. He just felt sorry for his sister who was more sensible than other children since she was young. When she encountered troubles, she would solve them by herself and never bother her family.

"Brother, don't you blame me?" Su Jingning raised his head and looked at Su Jingchen with his dark eyes, and asked softly.

"Why would Big Brother blame you? Mu Ling dared to bully you. Even if you didn't do anything, do you think your brothers and father would let him go?"

"So, it was really my second and fourth brothers who beat Prince Ling in the middle of the night?" She thought of Chen Ruofu's face. She seemed to be poisoned. She had seen the poison in her fourth brother's place. And in the entire Su family, only the second brother could do such a thing as beating someone in the middle of the night.

"They were just fooling around." Su Jingchen got a headache when he thought of the two people he caught that night. Only they could think of beating someone up in the middle of the night.

"No matter what, you must discuss everything with us in the future. Don't try to solve everything by yourself, okay? Fortunately, Prince Ling is not valued by His Majesty. If it were any other prince, this matter would not be as simple as you think." Su Jingchen was still in shock and looked at Su Jingning with a serious expression.

"I got it, big brother, don't worry, I won't do it again in the future." Su Jingning bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Su Jingchen looked at her and shook his head. He couldn't do anything about her. He had to find a way to keep it a secret from his father. He couldn't let his father know that Ningning did it.

Three days later, at Wumen, Imperial Capital.

Recently, the conspiracy between Prince Ling and the adopted daughter of Duke Zhenguo, Fu, to frame the Duke Zhenguo Mansion, a pillar of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has caused a sensation in the capital. Prince Ling was deposed from the title of Prince of the County, became an untitled prince, and was banished to Youzhou. Chen Ruofu admitted all the crimes in the Jingzhao Division, admitting that she had a grudge and forged military reports to retaliate against the Duke Zhenguo Mansion. She was the one who deceived Prince Ling. The Jingzhao Division convicted him and he will be executed at Wumen today.

At this time, the front of the Wumen Gate was already full of people. The Zhenguogong Mansion had protected the people of the Great Zhou for a hundred years, and had made countless military achievements. The whole family was loyal and brave, and was deeply respected by the people of the Great Zhou. The Zhou people valued courtesy and righteousness. Facing such an ungrateful and venomous person like Chen Ruofu, everyone only hated and despised her, and felt sorry for the Zhenguogong Mansion. For so many years, they had raised an ungrateful person.

Su Jingning was hidden in the crowd, wearing a dark blue cloak, looking at Chen Ruofu, who was standing on the execution platform in prison clothes, pale, with messy and dirty hair. She had lost all trace of her former wealth and elegance. She listened to the insults of the world with an expressionless face, as if she could no longer hear them, with dull eyes.

Chen Ruofu raised her head and looked up at the sky, then smiled self-deprecatingly. She had put her trust in the wrong person, and she had followed a person who was just like her, selfish to the core, with only herself in his eyes and heart. She hated it and was unwilling to give up, but she was an orphan, and no one would help her. Whether this crime was her own or not, she would die.

Su Jingning looked at Chen Ruofu. In her previous life, Chen Ruofu and Mu Ling had also accused the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion of treason on a winter day like this, and she had watched the women of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion fall in a pool of blood one by one. The entire execution ground was filled with the wronged souls of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. Today, she wanted Chen Ruofu to taste the suffering that everyone in the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion had endured in her previous life, and let her feel what it felt like to be betrayed, wronged, and unable to defend herself.

Chen Ruofu met Su Jingning in the crowd. She stood alone in the crowd, her delicate and bright face hidden under her cloak. Her temperament was so outstanding that she could be spotted at a glance even among so many people. The look he gave Chen Ruofu was calm and deep, but it could chill people to the bone.

At this moment, Chen Ruofu's resentment, hatred and fear of death were instantly aroused by Su Jingning. She looked at the fat-eared executioner standing beside her. She suddenly tried to break free from the shackles on her body like crazy, with a ferocious and terrifying expression. The people beside her were frightened and took a few steps back. The jailer pressed her to the ground, making her unable to move. She was lying on the cold ground in an embarrassed posture. She looked at the dark blue and resolute back of the crowd and gradually gave up struggling...
