Chapter 23 Su Yue's Jealousy Escalates
When she heard Xiao Ling's heartfelt confession to Su Jinxiu, the resentment in her heart burned like a raging fire.
"Su Jinxiu, what makes you think you deserve Xiao Ling's love? I'll make sure you're utterly disgraced!" Su Yue muttered to herself through gritted teeth.
To carry out her wicked plan, Su Yue searched everywhere for help. Finally, she met a local thug named Wu San.
"As long as you can help me destroy Su Jinxiu, you'll be well rewarded with money," Su Yue promised Wu San.
Wu San looked greedily at the silver Su Yue had taken out and readily agreed, "Miss Su, rest assured, I will make sure that Su Jinxiu comes to a bad end."
Wu San began spreading rumors about Su Jinxiu in the capital, saying that she was immoral and had affairs with multiple men.
These rumors quickly spread throughout the capital, and people pointed and gossiped about Su Jinxiu.
When Su Jinxiu returned to the Marquis's residence from the palace, she found that everyone was looking at her with strange eyes.
"Miss, there are some unpleasant rumors circulating outside about you," Xiao Cui said worriedly.
Su Jinxiu frowned: "I know who's behind this."
At the same time, Xiao Ling also heard these rumors, and he was furious.
"How dare they slander Jinxiu like this! I will definitely find the mastermind behind this!" Xiao Ling said.
Xiao Ling began to send people to investigate, and they soon discovered the collusion between Su Yue and Wu San.
"Su Yue, you're truly incorrigible," Xiao Ling roared.
Su Yue showed no remorse: "Xiao Ling, you're protecting Su Jinxiu. You'll regret it someday."
Xiao Ling decided to teach Su Yue a lesson, and he submitted the evidence of Su Yue's collusion with Wu San to the authorities.
The authorities arrested Su Yue and Wu San, intending to punish them severely.
However, the story does not end there.
While in prison, Su Yue met a mysterious man who promised to help her take revenge, but on the condition that Su Yue would do things for him.
Su Yue agreed without hesitation, wanting to repay Su Jinxiu.
The mysterious man used his influence to sabotage the Marquis's business, causing the family to suffer huge losses.
The old lady was so worried about this that she fell ill and never recovered.
"Jinxiu, the Marquis's mansion is in dire straits. You must think of a solution," the old lady said, holding Su Jinxiu's hand.
Su Jinxiu comforted her, "Grandmother, don't worry, I will definitely handle it."
Su Jinxiu began investigating the problems with the Marquis's business and discovered that the mastermind behind it was actually related to a powerful figure in the imperial court.
For the safety of the Marquis's mansion, Su Jinxiu decided to risk everything to meet that powerful figure.
The powerful and influential people, however, made things difficult for her in every way: "If you want to resolve this matter, you must agree to my conditions."
Su Jinxiu knew that the conditions must be harsh, but for the sake of the Marquis's mansion, she decided to listen.
The powerful and influential demanded that Su Jinxiu marry their son, otherwise the Marquis's family would never recover.
Su Jinxiu was caught in a dilemma.
Just then, Xiao Ling learned of Su Jinxiu's predicament and decided to step forward to help her.
"Jinxiu, I won't let you suffer any injustice," Xiao Ling said.
Xiao Ling used his connections in the imperial court to engage in a fierce contest with that powerful figure.
In this process, they encountered countless difficulties and obstacles.
The powerful and influential used various means to suppress Xiao Ling, trying to make him back down.
But Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu never gave up, supporting each other and working together to overcome the challenges.
After a hard-fought struggle, they finally found the powerful and influential people's weakness and successfully resolved the crisis in the Marquis's mansion.
However, their actions also attracted the attention of other forces, and new troubles followed...
