Chai Yiyun stared at Murong Jingxuan, and for a moment, she didn't know how to answer him. She looked to Su Yan and pitifully said, "My lord, believe me, I really am innocent."
When Deng Yan looked to Su Yan, she also had a similar expression, but unlike Chai Yiyun she didn't lose her composure, especially in this setting.
Su Yan looked to the kneeling Chai Yiyun. As his legitimate wife, he certainly shouldn't abandon her, especially at a time like this.
He look towards Murong Jingxuan and Su Jiashi with a polite look, "I wonder if your Highness can explain to me the details of what happened."
Murong Jingxuan took a step forward towards him and explained everything to him. Su Yan look to the Magistrate officials with a reluctant look.
Su Yan threw the doll before Chai Yiyun, "All the witnesses and evidences is here, what else do you have to say for yourself. She's elder brother's daughter after all, why must you treat her like that?"
Chai Yiyun looked at the doll before her. That doll certainly was her own creation, but she clearly remembered throwing it in Deng Yan's yard. Yet why did things turn out like this now?
Plus, she was just about to deal with Deng Yan, so why did everything now all point towards her?
She looked to Su Qingyan, who was lying on the bed, and fiercely said, "My lord, you don't understand, all of this is entirely that girl framing me. It's her, it's definitely that demon."
Just when Su Jiashi wanted to hit her with her cane a second time, she saw Su Yan taking a step forward and giving her a slap across the face. "Enough of this farce!"
Chai Yiyun covered her cheek with her hand; the scorching pain on her face spread throughout her body. Ever since she'd married into the Su manor, even though Su Yan and her weren't considered very intimate, he'd never once hit her before. And yet now, because of that girl, he'd hit her?
"My lord, why won't you believe what I said, I really am innocent." Chai Yiyun looked at Su Yan and pitifully pleaded, "I really haven't done anything to harm the fourth miss."
"Enough, Yan'er still needs rest. How should this matter be dealt with? Su Yan, you best give me an answer, else even if your elder brother returns, he won't forgive you either." Su Jiashi said this as she heavily stomped her cane.
"Old madam, don't worry. Since those dolls are already destroyed, fourth miss should be waking up shortly." Chonglou looked to her with a warm expression.
Su Jiashi approached the side of the bed with a worried look.
In the end, this child was still mistakenly born in this ruthless place, no wonder she would always have that kind of expression in the past. And now, she'd become like this. My lord, is this joy or sorrow?
As Qingyan laid on the bed, she carefully listened to everything that happened. Although she'd once heard from Zizhu about this third uncle of hers, Su Yan. The only reason Su Yan was this protective of her was because of the benefits it brings him in the imperial court.
Su Yun was the distinguished Dingguo General, so it's natural that the treatment he received was different from that of other government officials, not to mention the military power he holds. He is considered as Diqiu's one and only great general. The people of Diqiu all knew of Su Yun's fate.
Unfortunately, Su Yun had an arrogant daughter, that arrogance caused her to become Diqiu's laughing stock.
But the Su Qingyan now, isn't the former Su Qingyan anymore. She will only become Su Yun's pride.
"Yan'er, you're awake. Is there anything wrong?" When Qingyan opened her eyes, she heard Su Jiashi worryingly asking her, "Is there anywhere you don't feel well?"
As Qingyan sat up, she massaged her head and looked to Su Jiashi with a smile, "I just felt that I had a dream, I wonder what just happened?"
