Chapter 40 Su Yue's Fear
When Su Yue learned that her scheme had been exposed, she began to feel fear and sought help everywhere.
Su Yue originally thought her plan was foolproof, but she didn't expect Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling to be so persistent, almost uncovering the truth. When she heard the news that her connection with the mysterious figure had been discovered, she was filled with fear.
"What should I do? If they trace it back to me, I'm finished!" Su Yue paced back and forth in the room, looking panicked.
Her first thought was of those who had colluded with her in the past, but now, having heard rumors, they were all avoiding her.
"Damn it, these greedy bastards!" Su Yue cursed through gritted teeth.
Left with no other choice, Su Yue decided to ask some of her distant relatives for help. She brought generous gifts and humbly approached their doorsteps.
"Cousin, please help me," Su Yue pleaded.
But the relative said with a look of disgust, "You've made such a big mistake, I dare not help you, don't drag us down with you."
Su Yue felt even more desperate after being turned away.
Desperate, she even considered going to a temple to pray to the gods, hoping to receive divine protection.
In the temple, Su Yue knelt before the Buddha statue, kowtowing repeatedly: "Buddha, please bless me and let me get through this tribulation."
However, the fear in my heart did not diminish in the slightest.
Meanwhile, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling's investigation intensified. Su Yue lived in constant fear, terrified at the slightest disturbance.
One night, Su Yue dreamt that Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling led soldiers into her residence and arrested her. She woke up from the nightmare in a cold sweat.
"No, I can't just sit here and wait to die." Su Yue decided to take a gamble.
She began to secretly follow Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling, trying to find their weaknesses so that she could counter them.
On one occasion, Su Yue was almost discovered by Xiao Ling's men, but luckily she ran fast and hid in a secluded alley.
"I almost got caught, that was close!" Su Yue said, still shaken.
To evade detection, Su Yue had to frequently change her residence, living a life of hiding and running.
Her face grew increasingly haggard, and she was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Meanwhile, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling, through continuous investigation and analysis, have gradually gathered more evidence of Su Yue's crimes.
"I believe we will bring her to justice soon," Xiao Ling said.
Upon hearing this news, Su Yue became even more fearful and uneasy.
She then tried to bribe some officials in hopes of gaining protection.
But at this time, all the officials knew that Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling were investigating the matter, and no one dared to interfere easily.
Su Yue was like a stray dog, constantly hitting walls and obstacles.
One day, Su Yue saw a wanted poster on the street, which featured her own portrait.
"It's over, everything is over." Su Yue collapsed to the ground.
Just when she was feeling desperate, a mysterious person appeared.
“Come with me, I can help you,” the mysterious man said.
Su Yue felt like she had grasped at the last straw and followed the mysterious man without hesitation.
However, what she didn't know was that the appearance of this mysterious person would lead her into an even more dangerous situation...
Because of Su Yue's actions, the Marquis's mansion was in a state of panic, and Su Jinxiu tried her best to stabilize the situation.
Su Yue's various misdeeds were exposed, causing a huge uproar in the Marquis's mansion. The servants whispered and gossiped, breaking the usual tranquility and plunging the entire mansion into chaos.
