Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 33 Confrontation with Su Yue

Su Jinxiu stared sharply at Su Yue and slammed the evidence in her hand heavily on the table.

"Su Yue, now that things have come to this, do you still want to deny it?" Su Jinxiu shouted angrily.

Su Yue's eyes darted away, but she remained defiant: "Sister, where did you get these things from? Don't frame me."

Su Jinxiu sneered: "Frame-up? This clearly shows your deal with that silk shop owner, as well as all the conspiracies you plotted. You still dare to deny it?"

Su Yue's face was pale, but she still tried to remain calm: "Sister, someone must have deliberately forged these to frame me. You can't believe them."

Su Jinxiu stepped forward, staring intently at Su Yue: "Even now, you still show no remorse. Su Yue, everything you have done will be punished."

Su Yue suddenly burst into tears: "Sister, I've really been wronged, why won't you believe me?"

At this moment, everyone in the Marquis's residence was drawn over, including the old lady.

The old lady asked with a serious expression, "What exactly happened?"

Su Jinxiu handed the evidence to the old lady: "Grandmother, Su Yue is secretly colluding with outsiders, intending to harm the interests of the Marquis's Mansion. This is the evidence."

The old lady examined the evidence, her face darkening: "Su Yue, what else do you have to say?"

Su Yue knelt down with a thud and hugged the old lady's leg: "Grandmother, I have been wronged. Someone must be trying to sow discord within our Marquis's mansion."

The old lady shook off her hand: "The evidence is conclusive, and you're still trying to deny it."

Seeing that the old lady was unmoved, Su Yue turned to Su Jinxiu and said, "Sister, even if I was wrong, it was just a moment of confusion. Please forgive me this time."

Su Jinxiu remained unmoved: "Su Yue, you have repeatedly framed me and even attempted to overthrow the Marquis's mansion. I will never let you off easily."

Just then, Su Yue suddenly stood up, her eyes turning fierce: "Su Jinxiu, don't be too smug. Even if this evidence is true, what can you do to me?"

Su Jinxiu said, "The Marquis's Mansion has its own rules, and mistakes must be punished."

Su Yue burst into laughter: "Punishment? You think I'm afraid?"

At this moment, Xiao Ling walked in.

“Su Yue, you have committed such a grave mistake and still show no remorse. You are truly beyond redemption,” Xiao Ling said.

Upon seeing Xiao Ling, Su Yue panicked even more: "Your Highness, this is all a misunderstanding."

Xiao Ling snorted coldly: "Misunderstanding? The evidence is right in front of you, you can't deny it."

Su Yue gritted her teeth: "So what if you have evidence? I have people backing me up, what can you do to me?"

Su Jinxiu asked, "Who's behind you?"

Su Yue remained silent.

The old lady said, "Lock her up and wait until we find out who's behind her before taking any further action."

The servants took Su Yue away. As she struggled, Su Yue cried out, "Su Jinxiu, you will not have a good end!"

However, the story does not end there.

At night, the Marquis's mansion suddenly caught fire, and everyone panicked.

"Quickly, put out the fire!" Su Jinxiu shouted.

In the chaos, Su Yue took advantage of the confusion to escape.

Upon learning the news, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling immediately led their men to give chase.

They found Su Yue in a dilapidated temple in the suburbs.

“Su Yue, you can’t escape,” Su Jinxiu said.

Su Yue sneered: "Even if I die, I won't let you get away with this."

Suddenly, a group of men in black appeared and surrounded them.

"Who are you people?" Xiao Ling asked.

The man in black did not answer and launched an attack immediately.

Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling engaged in a fierce battle with the men in black.

During the battle, Su Jinxiu found the martial arts style of these men in black somewhat familiar.

"Could they be..." Su Jinxiu had a guess in her mind.

After a fierce battle, they finally repelled the men in black.

But Su Yue took advantage of the chaos to escape again.

"We must find her," Xiao Ling said.

They returned to the Marquis's residence and began investigating the identities of the men in black.

After some investigation, they discovered that these men in black were actually subordinates of a powerful official in the imperial court.

"It seems he's the one behind Su Yue," Su Jinxiu said.

Xiao Ling frowned: "This person wields considerable power in the court; we must be careful in dealing with him."

Just as they were preparing to take further action, another piece of bad news arrived.

Su Yue actually went to the palace and met with the Empress; it's unclear what they discussed.

The Empress ordered Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling to enter the palace.

They knew that an even greater crisis was about to unfold...
