Song Mingli raised his eyebrows, "Okay, you are thoughtful."

Su Yi served tea, knelt in front of Song Mingli, raised the tea above her head, and was very respectful.

Shisu, who was standing by, felt very relieved.

She even wanted to take the tea and splash it on Su Yi's face.

The cousin who lives in the Marquis's Mansion wants to suppress her own daughter in every way. She is so shameless!

"Zi Su, go get the letter that elder brother sent yesterday and show it to Aunt Su with her own eyes." Song Mingli ordered.

Zi Su was slightly stunned. Did the young master deliver the letter yesterday?

"Oh... Aunt Su, how can you not believe what you said?" Zi Su blinked at Song Mingli.

Song Mingli smiled slightly, "Words are not enough. Since Aunt Su is sensible, I am willing to give her some respect."

"Just go get it and have Aunt Su take a look at it, so that she and Grandmother can feel at ease."

"Yes!" Zi Su's face was cold, and he bowed and retreated.

"Thank you, Madam!" Su Yi was even more humble.

Song Mingli took the teacup and sniffed it gently. This was the smell.

It was almost covered by the aroma of tea.

If the memories of the previous life had not been too profound and painful, if I had not followed Nanxing in this life and learned something from him.

She really couldn't tell.

Song Mingli blew on the tea and looked at Su Yi with interest out of the corner of his eye.

Su Yi clenched her hands tightly together, feeling excited, nervous, and full of anticipation.

What exactly does Su Yi want to do?

Song Mingli was quite curious.

"Madam...but the tea is too hot?" Su Yi asked cautiously.

Song Mingli smiled slightly and took a sip of tea, "Just right."

After taking a sip, Song Mingli covered his mouth with his Guangdong embroidery and took a big sip of tea.

She put the teacup aside and said, "Auntie Su, please get up."

"Thank you, Madam." Su Yi bowed her head and stood aside humbly, looking outside anxiously, "Sister Zi Su, why haven't you come back yet?"

"The letter is in Qichiyuan. It's such a long way to go back and forth!" Song Mingli suddenly stood up and said, "Oh, I seem to have put the letter in the mailbox and forgot to tell her. I'd better go back..."

Song Mingli took a few steps outside, and suddenly raised his hand to support his forehead, "Hiss..."

Su Yi immediately stepped forward and supported her, "What's wrong, Madam? Let me support you?"

The excitement and pride in Su Yi's voice could hardly be concealed.

Song Mingli looked at her with drooping eyelids, "Help me...help me sit down."

"Yes! Madam!" While Su Yi was speaking, she suddenly twisted Song Mingli's arm.

"Come in!" she shouted outside.

Several sturdy old women immediately jumped in from outside the door.

The old woman still held the rope in her hand.

Su Yi ordered sternly, "Tie her up and take her away! Quickly!"

Song Mingli was in a daze, and seemed to be about to faint at any moment, "Aunt Su, you..."

"Heh, Gu Lang said you've changed! You've become smarter and more cautious!" Su Yi clapped her hands and said, "I think that's all!"

"Do you think I really worship you? You believed me as soon as I showed a little weakness. You are really stupid!"

"If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for being so stupid! You even sent Shiso away! I wanted to deal with both of you, but now I only have to deal with you!"

As he was speaking, Song Mingli was tied up by several old women.

"Let's go!" Su Yi said, "As long as we catch her, the Marquis' Mansion and the Song family will have to obey us!"

Several old women carried the unconscious Song Mingli out of the house.

They all gasped and froze in place.

"Hurry up and go!" Su Yi urged from behind.

Several maids knelt down and said, "It was Aunt Su who ordered us to do this!"

The old woman bent down and knelt down, and only then did Su Yi see the situation outside clearly.

Shiso left and came back at some point without anyone noticing.

Moreover, she did not come back alone. She brought many maids and servants with her, and each of them looked smart and agile.

"You, you guys..." Su Yi's face turned pale.

She suddenly looked at the unconscious Song Mingli.

But Song Mingli's eyes were open and her gaze was clear. She turned her wrist and actually untied the rope that the old women had tied her with.

"Come here, arrest Aunt Su and these old women who have committed treason!" Song Mingli ordered.

"No! You are pretending! You didn't faint at all!" Su Yi couldn't believe it, "It's impossible! I saw you drinking tea! And that fragrance..."

Song Mingli snorted and nodded, "Yes, I was so stupid that I almost got fooled."

Su Yi's body trembled violently when she heard this.

Song Mingli looked at the old women who were pressed to the ground and begged for mercy.

She frowned slightly, "No, there's one missing."

"Madam, she's here!" Two nimble little maids escorted back Xiangkui who was trying to sneak away.

Xiangkui struggled hard and shouted to Song Mingli, "We are from the old lady's courtyard! You can't punish us without the old lady's permission!"

Song Mingli nodded, "That makes sense. It seems that the old lady is the mastermind! How can it be enough to just punish you?"

Song Mingli waved his hand and said, "Tie them all up and send them to the government office. Zisu, follow me to change clothes and go to the palace to see the emperor. I want to file a complaint with the emperor!"

When Xiangkui heard this, her legs went limp and if she hadn't been held down, she would have sat on the ground.

"Madam, please spare me! Madam, please spare me!"

"It was Aunt Su! It was Aunt Su who planned it!"

"The old lady has become confused and doesn't care about anything anymore! It was all planned by Aunt Su alone!"

These sturdy old women are all distant relatives of the old lady, who make a living in the Marquis's Mansion.

They are smarter than Xiangkui.

If this matter were to be brought to the government office, it would be considered as insubordination, and even Song Mingli might be arrested. These slaves would probably not escape death.

But if the case was dealt with behind closed doors, Song Mingli, a lady-in-waiting of a marquisate, would not have taken their lives.

Several old women kowtowed, and blood appeared on their heads.

"You are from the old lady's courtyard, how could you listen to the orders of a concubine?" Song Mingli shook his head and said, "I don't believe it."

"It's Aunt Su... Oh, and Xiangkui!"

"They are the ones who conspired together! Aunt Su promised to give us some benefits. She said that if she captured the Madam, she would have the final say in the Marquis' Mansion!"

"Although the Marquis is precocious, he is just a child after all, and he will be afraid of it!"

"We were blinded by our own greed! That's why we trusted her so easily! Please punish us, Madam... but please spare our lives!"

Xiangkui's face turned pale and she was about to collapse.

She suddenly looked at Su Yi fiercely, "Didn't you say it was foolproof?"

Su Yi kept shaking her head, "I've observed that when the steward came into the mansion today, there weren't many servants here... Nanxing wasn't at the mansion, and Molan wasn't either."

Song Mingli allowed them to blame each other while he ordered someone to find the manager of the manor.

She had no intention of filing a complaint with the emperor about this matter, she just wanted to scare those old women.

"These old women are strong and sturdy, and have quite some strength. Take them back to the farm and do hard labor," Song Mingli ordered.

When the maids saw the steward, they almost fainted.

The manager's farm is the most remote, and the work there is the hardest and most tiring.

Moreover, the manager has a cold face but a hard heart. He will not be persuaded by any persuasion and is quite resourceful.

When I arrived at his farm, I was really "exiled".

Several old women cried loudly but dared not say much... It's better than being sent to the yamen and dying, right?

The old women were tied up by the servants and stuffed into a carriage by the steward and taken away.

Xiangkui collapsed on the ground as if someone had pulled out her bones. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so wishful and trusted Su Yi so easily!"

"You really shouldn't be so wishful thinking!" Su Yi glared at her and said, "If you didn't want to overthrow Song Mingli and then deal with me so that you can climb up! Why would you help me?"
