Глава 8

Su Yuyin was dumbfounded. He, he, he wasn't angry at all?

What should she do?!

Chapter Four

Early in the morning, Su Yuyin took a walk in the yard. She used to always go for a morning run, but now that she has bound feet, she can't run anymore. However, getting out of the house and breathing in some fresh air in the morning is good for her health!

As she walked, she saw someone practicing swordsmanship in the distance. She approached quietly, and there he was! She noticed that his hand holding the sword paused slightly. She knew he had spotted her, but she didn't take it seriously and pretended not to see him, continuing to watch.

"Who's there? Come out." Ouyang Tianyun finished his last move and sheathed his sword.

Su Yuyin emerged from behind the tree with a smile.

"Good morning!" she greeted him cheerfully.

"It's you?" he asked, surprised. "Why are you up so early?"

“Aren’t you the same?” Su Yuyin sat down on a large rock, pointed to another rock next to her, and gestured for him to sit down as well.

"I want to practice my sword." He put the sword aside and didn't look at her.

"The air is so fresh this morning, it's really nice to go for a walk." Su Yuyin picked up a small pebble and threw it into the distance. "You know what? The only thing I like about this place is the unpolluted air."

Is that so? Ouyang Tianyun wondered, was she saying that she had been neglected for a long time?

"Are you still angry about that?" He looked up at her.

"No!" Did she really say that? "I just don't understand why you won't divorce me?"

Ouyang Tianyun remained silent, turning his head to the other side, clearly unwilling to answer the question.

"Divorcing me won't do you any harm, and it will even give your lover the position she's always dreamed of..."

"Shut up! Mei'er isn't that kind of person." He yelled at her, he wouldn't allow anyone to insult his Mei'er, "I won't allow you to insult her like that."

She insulted Xiangmei? How ridiculous! Can love really make someone so blind? It was clearly Xiangmei who framed her first, and even made her get slapped for no reason... Both of them are terrifying. She needs to get out of this place as soon as possible.

"Divorce me, it'll be better for everyone!"

Su Yuyin stood up and walked towards her room. Ouyang Tianyun, left behind, watched her retreating figure with a thoughtful expression. He truly couldn't fathom why she did this. Was she playing hard to get?

In the distance, a pair of hateful eyes watched all of this unfold...

After breakfast, Su Yuyin saw Ouyang Tianyun take Xiangmei out. With nothing else to do, she decided to go see Ouyang Tianlin. She had heard that Ouyang Tianlin had not yet woken up. Last time, Tianyu said that her maid had been murdered. What about her?

Arriving at Ouyang Tianlin's Snow Residence, I found it very quiet.

"Young Madam!" the maid greeted respectfully upon seeing the newcomer.

"I've come to see your young lady," she said to the maid at the door, then whispered a few words to Xiaofei and Dujuan before going inside and closing the door.

She went into the inner room and saw a girl of about sixteen or seventeen lying on the bed. She went over to examine the wound on Tianlin's forehead and found that it was really just a superficial injury, and it had already healed most of the way. Then she touched the back of her head and there was nothing swollen. It couldn't possibly be a concussion. Could it be...?

"Didn't I tell you to mind your own business?" A low male voice sounded, startling her.

Su Yuyin turned around and saw a man dressed in black and wearing a mask standing behind her.

"You scared me to death." She patted her chest and looked at the man who spoke with a reproachful expression. "I was bored and just wanted to come and see her, but I didn't expect to run into you."

The man in black sighed, slowly walked to the bedside, and stared at the girl on the bed for a while; "I think you should have guessed by now, Lin'er was poisoned. I checked the medicine I gave her, and it was fine. How could she..."

"Where did you get the checkup?" It couldn't possibly have been a second before she put it in her mouth.

"In the kitchen."

Just as I thought. "What's the use? The kitchen is so far from here. There are plenty of opportunities to poison her along the way. Anyone who wants to harm her must have a meticulous plan. They would never do it in a crowded place like the kitchen."

The man in black was taken aback; how come he hadn't thought of that?

"Does your sister have a grudge against anyone? Who wants to harm her?" Su Yuyin asked, as this was the key to the whole matter.

"Have grudges against anyone? Impossible. Lin'er is a well-behaved and gentle girl. She wouldn't make enemies with anyone."

"Who knows if it's really as you say, that everyone in your Ouyang family lives behind a mask? You're the best example, and that Xiangmei, on the surface she acts so noble, not wanting any title, but what does she really want? She can't wait for your older brother to divorce me so she can sit on the throne of the eldest young mistress. Although that woman isn't as good at acting as you are, your brother, who's blinded by love, completely believes in her." Su Yuyin thought of that inexplicable slap as soon as she mentioned this. Why was she so unlucky?

Xiangmei? Could he not have seen wrong that day? He remembered the day his sister-in-law fell into the water. When he rescued her, he looked up and inadvertently saw Xiangmei leaving Qinzhu Pavilion with a flustered expression. He thought he was just seeing things because he was too tired.

"Could it be that Xiangmei pushed my sister-in-law into the water?"

“Very likely.” Su Yuyin agreed with his statement. She had once thought that “she” had committed suicide, but after carefully analyzing what had happened, she realized that “it was possible that the woman pushed Su Yuyin into the water and that Lin’er and Xiao Lan happened to see it, so she had them killed as well. However, she only managed to knock Lin’er unconscious before someone arrived, so she had to change her plan and prevent her from waking up.

"Your analysis isn't without merit, but we have no evidence to prove it."

“If she can wake up, that’s already half the evidence,” Su Yuyin said, pointing to the woman on the bed. In this line of work, you can’t just believe one person’s story. “The other half we’ll have that woman confess herself. Right now, we need to get Lin’er out of here. I have a way…”

Su Yuyin beckoned him closer and told him her plan. Afterward, the two of them left the Snow Residence one after the other...

"Help--"

"Fire! Snow Pavilion is on fire! Everyone, hurry and put it out!"

In the middle of the night, people were sound asleep when they were awakened by cries for help... Everyone rushed to the scene of the fire as quickly as possible, only to find that the fire was out of control.
