Su Yingxue politely nodded in response. “Please inform Lord Liang that I will indeedply. I won’t cause any trouble. However, I would like to inquire about Lord Wu’s condition.”
The person remained tight-lipped. “Lord Wu is currently resting in bed. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”
Su Yingxue saw him off and thought to herself that even though he didn’t explicitly mention Wu Hongtao’s condition, the fact that Liang Jin, with his swift and decisive nature, was dying the court session for him indicated that his injuries were likely severe.
Su Yingxue smirked. This provided her with an opportunity to make some preparations.
She took Zi Wei to the Minister’s Estate and headed straight to Wu Hongtao’s study.
Zi Wei stood guard outside the door while Su Yingxue thoroughly searched the study. Among the hiddenpartments in the bookcase, she found two ount books.
Upon opening them, Su Yingxue’s lips curved up in satisfaction.
With these ount books, it would be impossible for Wu Hongtao to defeat her.
The ount books provided detailed records of Wu Hongtao’s embezzlement and bribery over the years, documenting treasures and wealth that amounted to ten or even a hundred times his official sry.
In his previous life, Wu Hongtao was exiled because of this ount book.
However, that was a matter that would happen a few yearster. Now that Wu Hongtao had provoked her in advance, she had something on him in her hands in advance to see what he could do.
Su Yingxue took the ount book and was about to leave, but she heard the servant girl who was delivering the medicine to Wu Ruofei whispering along the way, so she followed curiously.
Zi Wei followed behind her without being noticed by anyone.
Su Yingxue and Zi Wei crouched on the rooftop above Wu Ruofei’s room, eavesdropping as Madam Wu cheerfully rewarded her servant girls.
The maids who attended Wu Ruofei received their rewards with joyous expressions.
Even Wu Ruofei, who had been humiliated the previous day,y on the bed with a happy countenance.
Su Yingxue couldn’t help but wonder why Wu Hongtao being imprisoned in the Capital Prefecture would bring such happiness to mother and daughter.
Madam Wu fed Wu Ruofei her medicine and reassured her, “Fei’er, focus on recovering from your injuries. Your mother will take care of your father’s matters. Moreover, your two brothers have excelled and been selected as candidates for the ck Cloud Cavalry. Once they establish themselves within the ranks of the ck Cloud Cavalry, our Wu family will be filled with honor, both in civil and military spheres. By then, many respectable families wille seeking your hand in marriage.”
“Mother, I don’t want a respectable family. I want Brother Hao! I only want Brother Hao!” Wu Ruofei clung to Madam Wu’s hand and acted coquettishly.
“What’s so special about that Su Hao? He’s a man whocks charm, and he’s even attracted to Wu Jinyan. Given his taste, why are you fixated on him?” Madam Wu’s eyes were filled with disgust.
Even if Su Hao was exceptional, the fact that he was interested in Wu Jinyan but not her daughter made her unwilling to see Wu Ruofei marry him in the future.
“Brother Hao is so handsome and powerful! I don’t care… I want to marry Brother Hao! Moreover, I want to be hiswful wife. If that Wu Jinyan dares to bother him again in the future, I’ll kill her right in front of Brother Hao!” Wu Ruofei appeared innocent but had a fierce look in her eyes.
Su Yingxue sighed and clicked her tongue. A rabbit that hadn’t even grown its full fur, yet it considered itself a fierce tigress capable ofmanding the winds and rains.
Truly, those who were spoiled often turned out to be fools.
However, Madam Wu’s mention of her two sons being chosen for the ck Cloud Cavalry raised suspicions in Su Yingxue’s mind.
On their way back, Su Yingxue asked Zi Wei, “Have you heard of the ck Cloud Cavalry?”
Zi Wei nodded. “They are the elite soldiers of the dynasty, revered as Divine Martial Warriors..”
