The next day, after Su Ci got up, she asked Xiao Tao to choose a plain white dress for her. It was extremely simple and matched her delicate and fair face. She looked like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world. She was charming and attractive, making people salivate.

She had no makeup on her face, her complexion was delicate and her fair skin was as flawless and pink as a baby's.

It does make sense that women should dress pretty in mourning clothes.

When Su Ci walked out of the yard, the maids in the Su mansion couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

The two maids also changed their usual dark, gloomy dresses into plain ones. They will go to the Yongping Marquis' Mansion today.

When they arrived at the gate of the Su Mansion, Madam Su had already asked the maid to urge them several times.

It seems like he is eager to die!

Su Ci couldn't help but sneer.

Unexpectedly, I saw Su Hanyue at the gate of Su Mansion. She was sitting in a wheelchair, and asked the guards to carry her into the carriage.

When she saw Su Ci, her eyes were spitting fire and she almost went crazy.

The eldest lady patted her shoulder to comfort her, and she finally controlled her emotions.

He is really strong-willed despite his disability!

It seems that today is undoubtedly the Hongmen Banquet.

Su Ci and Hua Fuzi rode in a carriage.

Several carriages went to the Yongping Marquis Mansion in a mighty manner.

The distance was not far, and the carriage could not move before it reached the door.

There was a constant stream of traffic in front of the door, causing severe congestion.

The carriages were lined up from the main gate to several hundred meters outside the gate.

It seems that there are a lot of people paying their respects. After all, the Yongping Marquisate holds a very important position in the court, and many people are vying to curry favor with it.

Many people had stern and solemn expressions as they went to the marquis's mansion in groups.

Two huge white lanterns were hung at the gate of Yongping Marquis Mansion.

Su Ci stared at the lantern for a long time before smiling meaningfully.

Following the eldest lady, she was led by the maid straight into the mourning hall.

The mourning hall was all white, filled with a gloomy atmosphere, and everyone's face looked solemn and sad.

Both sides of the table were kneeling with people keeping vigil. They were dressed in white linen clothes, with their heads lowered, looking haggard, and each of them covering their face and sobbing.

Several beautiful women in their thirties, although wearing mourning clothes, could not hide their elegance and grace, and each of them had an extraordinary appearance.

Now their eyes are red and swollen, their faces are miserable and they are heartbroken.

Before entering the mourning hall, Su Ci washed her hands first, then lit three incense sticks with a pious look and bowed.

Just after the ceremony, a beautiful woman suddenly rushed up and tried to tear Su Ci apart.

Su Ci dodged easily and hid behind Cui Shujing.

Hua Fuyin also stood up like an eagle protecting its chicks.

Everyone present looked at him with puzzled eyes.

Su Ci poked her head out and pretended to be confused and challenged: "Madam, you and I are strangers. If you suddenly rush over to me, aren't you afraid of disturbing the heroic spirit of your master? Did you recognize the wrong person?"

The beautiful woman looked at Su Ci with a fierce look in her eyes and sobbed, "Did you kill my son?"

"Who is your son?"

"You, you bitch, you killed my son, wuwuwu... How dare you come to his funeral hall so brazenly? God is blind! God is so unfair!"

Another beautiful woman supported her shaky body and comforted her, "Don't talk nonsense without evidence!"

Su Ci walked out from behind the eldest lady and added fuel to the fire, "Madam, don't think I'm young and easy to bully and then wrongly accuse me. Although your son died, which makes people feel very sympathetic, this cannot be a reason for you to wrongly accuse me!"

"Your son is dead, let the government investigate the case. I am a weak girl, and I cannot let you ruin my reputation!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Cui Shujing and asked helplessly, "Is that so? Aunt, I came here to offer condolences for the sake of our two relatives. They shouldn't have wronged me like this! Please give me some advice!"

Cui Shujing didn't expect Su Ci to be so eloquent.

She immediately turned the tables and exposed the mistakes of the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, turning the tables on them and making her, the eldest aunt, feel guilty and embarrassed.

Cui Shujing put on a gentle face and tried to smooth things over, "She is Cui Xiaojiu's aunt. She must have been too sad and recognized the wrong person. Don't bother with her. Let's get out of here!"

Su Ci shouldn't be too fussy about it. It's someone else's funeral, and if she makes too much of a fuss, she might be in the wrong. She has to strike the right balance. Anyway, she has already fought back, so as long as she didn't suffer any loss, that's fine.

Before leaving, I heard the beautiful woman crying again, "Xiao Qi clearly said that she was the one who harmed Xiao Jiu..."

It was as if someone covered his mouth and a humming sound came from it.

Oh! It was Cui Yuan again, this born bad guy, doing evil things behind her back, instigating others to deal with her.

Su Ci hated him extremely.

After Su Ci was settled in the rest room, the eldest lady disappeared.

Su Ci and Hua Fuyin sat there bored, occasionally speaking a few words.

She instructed Yao Ma and Ban Yue to stay with Hua Fuzi at all times, and to remember not to be left alone, not to walk around, and not to eat casually.

The two of them agreed immediately.

At this time, a maid came to call Su Ci, saying that several wives of Yongping Marquis wanted to see her.

Su Ci suddenly found it funny. To see her or to harm her?

She was curious about what these people would do?

Moreover, she also wanted to take the opportunity to collect some treasures from the Yongping Marquis Mansion, so she readily followed the maid and waited until the opportunity arose.

We came to a quiet and elegant courtyard, from which we could hear women talking and low sobbing.

Su Ci was led inside by a maid.

The room was decorated magnificently, and each item inside was exquisite and looked very valuable.

Su Ci looked around hesitantly, looking as if she had never seen the world or seen good things.

Maybe, in their minds, Su Ci is really unworldly.

There were several noble ladies sitting in the room, including the eldest lady.

They looked solemn and ready for battle.

It's a bit like a trial by three judges.

Su Ci was not panicked either.

When the eldest lady saw her come in, she immediately introduced her to the ladies in a very warm manner: "This is Su Ci. Look, although my niece is not very old, she is very pretty and lovely, and she is very lovable!"

Su Ci didn't interrupt and just watched their performance quietly.

The wife of Yongping Hou came over and took Su Ci's hand. She looked around and spoke first: "She is indeed a pretty girl. I didn't have the chance to meet her before, but now that I have met her, I should give her a gift."

After saying this, he took off a pair of white jade bracelets of fine quality from his wrists.

Regardless of whether they knew him or not, several ladies followed suit and pretended to give him gifts.

Su Ci smiled faintly, without being polite at all, and accepted all of them and put them all into her sleeve pocket in front of them.

Several people looked at each other, and a sharp light flashed in their eyes.

Su Ci had been watching with great vigilance, and she saw all the malicious expressions.

She lowered her eyes, with a cold gleam in her eyes.

It seems that this assassination attempt failed, so he tried other tricks to harm her. If martial arts didn't work, he would resort to those shameful means in the harem.

How despicable!

All the men, women, young and old are on the battlefield at the Yongping Marquis Mansion!

So many "wolves" have died, but he still has no regrets. It seems like the fight will not stop until one dies!

Then let’s fight!

They have arranged so many tricks, and Su Ci is naturally not a pushover. She will not just stand there and take the beating without fighting back.

She also arranged a good show today, and her assassination will give them a great surprise.

But it is not Su Ci's concern which husband of the ladies present will die.

It depends on whether they are more righteous or she is more evil!

Let’s wait and see who will win!
