She looked at Su Jinruo, only to see his calm eyes sparkling with a sharp light, his gaze locking onto her, with the intent to investigate further.

Seeming to have understood something, Prime Minister's Wife lowered his head and laughed, and said to Su Jinruo: "Sit down first, after a cup of tea, you will know the reason."

Su Jinruo's eyes flashed as she sat down. Prime Minister's Wife raised her hand and Feng mama bent over to prepare some hot water.

Prime Minister's Wife held up the carved porcelain plate and moved it in front of Su Jinruo, "This Osmanthus Cake is sweet but not greasy. It shouldn't taste too much when you eat it. Jinruo will eat it."

Su Jinruo glanced at the exquisite looking Gui Hua Cake on the plate and felt no appetite.

Right now, what she needed the most was to confirm if the idea in her mind was real or not.

If that was the case, she had to immediately change her plan and set it anew. Otherwise, she would be controlled by someone else for the rest of her life, never to be able to rise again.

It was because of this that she messed up her footsteps and came to look for Prime Minister's Wife at night.

The palace banquet tomorrow was extremely important to her. That was the first step that would allow her to stand firmly in the imperial court!

She could not lose, she could not lose. If she lost, she would have nothing, and everything would go back to normal.

"I knew that once you entered the imperial court, you would sink even deeper into the abyss …" Prime Minister's Wife stared at Su Jinruo and sighed.

"I once said, no matter what happens, patience is always one bit more hopeful than impulse. You want to know the reason why, but you need to wait. Right now, in the process of waiting, you cannot eat.

Hearing that, Su Jinruo was startled.

Su Jinruo raised his head and looked towards Prime Minister's Wife, only to see Prime Minister's Wife smiling at her, as though he was a orchid blooming in a valley, grand and calm.

In that moment, Su Jinruo's heart was like a pot of tea being soaked in water, slowly settling down.

Then, he extended a jade-like finger and picked up a piece of osmanthus cake. Su Jinruo gently placed it in his mouth and slowly started to eat it.

Some people once said that only with a calm heart could one gain a state of mind.

She, Su Jinruo, had almost lost control of her heart because of this — Life!

The Prime Minister's Wife nodded slightly as he concentrated on Su Jinruo. Feng mama carried the hot water back to the Yulan Pavilion.

She took out a teacup and was about to make the tea when she was stopped by Prime Minister's Wife. "I'll make this tea."

"Yes." Senior Servant Feng retreated to the side.

Prime Minister's Wife took out some tea leaves and placed them in the teacup. He poured some hot water into the teacup and shook it lightly.

She opened her teacup, and the delicate fragrance of the tea assaulted her senses.

"The tea that is cooked using Blue Nut Spring is quite delicious. If it wasn't for the excellent taste, I'm afraid that no one would have liked it."

Su Jinruo nodded, "Indeed."

Prime Minister's Wife calmed his eyes and poured the tea out, leaving the tea leaves inside.

She pointed to the tea leaves in the teacup, "Jinruo, look. After the springtime is over, the leaves are much bigger than before."

Su Jinruo's eyes flashed as she replied, "Yes."

Prime Minister's Wife raised his teacup gently and poured the tea on the ground, "Jinruo, finish the tea."

Su Jinruo frowned, he saw Prime Minister's Wife taking out the tea leaves from the tea cup and throwing them away.

"We've finished the tea …" The Prime Minister's Wife stared at the tea leaves and said something profound, then he returned his gaze back to Su Jinruo and said indifferently: "The tea leaves are useless now."

"Jinruo, do you understand?"

Su Jinruo's pupils suddenly shrank. Her fingers that were pinching the pastries had become white. She stayed silent for a while, then slowly said: "We, are all things that he wants to achieve his goal … Chess piece?

If her guess was not wrong, what Prime Minister's Wife said just now was to use objects to refer to people.

That extremely tasty Jadeite Spring was referring to the people that were useful to the Prime Minister Su.

This would explain why the Prime Minister Su treated her the better.

After the tea leaves were brewed, Prime Minister Su wanted to bring out the value of this useful person to the maximum in order to achieve his goals.

Once the tea was drunk, the 'useful people' would be discarded one by one like tea leaves after they had lost their effectiveness!

Prime Minister's Wife closed his eyes, a hint of worry flowing through his brows.

"If you don't come back, then you're not his chess piece."

It's just a pity that you, Jinruo, have still returned …

Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning outside, followed by a clap of thunder in the night sky, startling a pool of lotus flowers.

Su Jinruo lowered his gaze, and congealed the Gui Hua Cake that had changed its appearance, as a chilly killing intent filled his cold gaze.

Prime Minister Su...

Madame Li closed his umbrella and threw it to the side, closing the door he had yet to close.

She turned around, looked at Su Ranle and Su Chi, and said: "Fortunately, no one is allowed to enter or exit here as you wish. Otherwise, let's see how you guys will clean up the mess!"

Su Ranle smiled as he went forward to welcome her, he grabbed onto Madame Li's arm and shook his head, "Mother, don't scold us siblings, mother said that she was prepared, what preparations did she have?"

"Of course it's easy to prepare," The Madame Li patted on the back of Su Ranle's hand, and said coldly: "Su Jinruo relied on his status as the legitimate son and lord to bully us multiple times. This kind of slut naturally cannot be allowed to live, I have already thought of a way, but I still need Chi'er's help."

Su Chi nodded his head, "Since everything has been prepared, whatever mother needs me to do, as long as I am able to do it, it will be done beautifully."

"With your status, naturally you will be able to make it." Madame Li stared into Su Chi's eyes, her charming face revealing a sinister smile.

Under the protection of the lightning, the face that was originally lit with candlelight suddenly jumped out from the dim light.

Her lips were gorgeous, like a poisonous snake spitting out a snake's core as she coldly laughed under the night sky.

"Stinky brat, I want to see if that sharp mouth of yours can erase the crime of certain death for you!"

Watching the black-robed youth leave the Jade Magnolia Pavilion with an umbrella in the blink of an eye, Senior Servant Feng withdrew her gaze, turned around, and closed the door and window.

She walked to Prime Minister's Wife's side and looked at him who had his eyes fixed on the tea leaves that had been discarded.

"Madam, now that the third young master has grown up, he can help you take care of your troubles. You will no longer have to shoulder the heavy responsibility alone and endure all the grievances. You will have to swallow all the pain …"

Jinruo's mind is meticulous and intelligent, for example, take the matter of the pastries, I can casually give her a few pointers and she will understand the logic, that is something ordinary people can't do.

There was a proud smile in Prime Minister's Wife's eyes, but his expression changed slightly as he slowly shook his head.

"Jinruo is calm, I have always known him, but among the people in the imperial court, who is the least mature and steady? No matter which dynasty, there will always be a dark side of the imperial court, I'm afraid its evil Qi will hurt my Jinruo, and its dirty sewage will splash onto Jinruo's body, which is what I don't want to see the most. "

Senior Servant Feng said, "Madam, please don't worry. Young Master is very thoughtful. You definitely know how to avoid those evil things."

"Jinruo is truly a clever man," the Prime Minister's Wife muttered as he looked at the Buddha statue: "But, after all, he's too young …"

As the rain gradually lessened, Su Jinruo held onto her umbrella and walked onto the small bridge, her line of sight distancing herself from the rain.

One of them stepped forward and bowed, "This servant greets Third Young Master."

Su Jinruo looked at him, then turned back and said: "You may leave."

Xiao Si just passed by, walked up to greet him, and then passed by Su Jinruo, went down the bridge, and walked in a hurry.

Su Jinruo suddenly turned his head and looked at Little Si's figure. Then, he followed along.

At the banquet, she had paid attention to everyone's appearance and figure. Although she couldn't recall it all at once, she would always have some impression after seeing it.

Logically speaking, aside from the night watch, the servants and servants of the Prime Minister's Estate should have all gone to sleep by the time the second half of the night came.

Now that it was already so late, Su Chi's Little S was running all over the General's Estate, trying to find something to do …

Su Jinruo followed him leisurely along the way. The servant turned left and right, finally arriving at the entrance of the Prime Minister's Residence.

He smiled as he gave the guard guarding the door a silver coin, and said something about being convenient.

The guard tossed the silver and told him to return earlier. He then opened the door and let him out.

Su Jinruo hid amongst the flowers and trees at the side, taking out a veil from his sleeves and covering it up.

He placed the oil-paper umbrella on the ground, flipped his hand out of the wall, and followed behind Little Si.

Perhaps it was because of the rain, but the originally bustling streets had become deserted, with only a few people walking on them.

Su Jinruo was dressed in a black robe and a black veil. He looked like an assassin as he walked down the street coldly.

After walking a distance away from the Prime Minister's Estate, Su Jinruo took off her veil. Little Si walked very quickly but did not stop, nor did he turn around to look at her.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Si walked into a backyard. Su Jinruo looked around and realized that this was … In the backyard of the justice court's yamen.

The yamen that sentenced Su Jinruo to exile was the Supreme Court.

Thanks to her blessings, after replacing her for a period of time, he was once again asked to register the person who had ended his exile.

As a result, she found out that this was the yamen of the justice courts where the case was handled …

Su Jinruo lowered his eyes and covered his face with a veil. Standing on the ground with his toes, he lightly leaped up and without any signs of life, went up to the roof of the yamen.

She lifted the lid, and from it a faint light of candlelight shone.

From a small crack in the roof, Su Jinruo saw Xiao Si pass a white porcelain bottle to a fat, round looking person.

After the fatty received the white porcelain bottle, Xiao Si took out some silver taels from his chest and handed them over to him.

After giving a few instructions, the fatty smiled and nodded his head. He then sent Little Si out of the room.

After Little Si disappeared in the distance, Su Jinruo closed the roof once more. Her body was as light as a leaf as she floated down.

By then, all the candles in the room had been extinguished.

She pushed open the wooden door and walked in. Just as Fatty asked who it was, a cold sensation steadily entered his body through his neck.

Having been a bailiff for so many years, if he didn't know what the thing on his neck was, it would be such a failure.

The fatty raised his trembling hand.

In the darkness, Fatty didn't know if he should be dealing with a man or a woman. He could only call out, "Hero, let's talk properly …"

"What did that person want you to do?"
