Chapter 265 What are you planning to do?
Yu Wan and Su Mu's expressions also changed.
Su Mu was furious, "He Si, how dare you kill someone in front of me?!"
"Somebody come!"
Footsteps came from not far away; it was the jailer coming in response.
He Si plunged the dagger into Qiao Dahong's side again, a cold, ruthless smile on his face. "I've killed more than just this one person."
Guo Fuchun was already terrified by this scene.
When he came to his senses, he saw He Si walking towards him.
Guo Fuchun was completely terrified, and while backing away, he shouted, "Lord Su, save me! Save me! I'll confess, I'll confess everything!"
No sooner had he said this than Su Mu, who hadn’t made any move, suddenly kicked open the cell door and appeared behind He Si like a ghost!
Before He Si could react, the dagger had already been snatched from his hand and held against He Si's neck.
Now it was He Si's turn to be terrified.
When did Su Mu, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, acquire such formidable skills?! Isn't he just intelligent?!
The jailers also arrived and subdued He Si's other two accomplices.
Qiao Dahong's injuries were not fatal, and the jailers carried him away. Su Mu had the jailers tie up He Si before saying to Yu Wan, "Madam Yun, were you frightened?"
Yu Wan quickly shook her head.
Her eyes were full of stars as she looked at Su Mu.
So handsome!
She never expected that Su Mu, who looked so gentle and refined, would have such good skills!
The scene just now was just like the special effects fight scenes in TV dramas she used to watch. In the blink of an eye, before she could even react, Su Mu had already subdued He Si.
and……
Yu Wan glanced at the broken cell door.
It takes a lot of force to kick open a cell door.
Seeing Yu Wan shake her head, Su Mu breathed a slight sigh of relief, then turned her sharp gaze to He Si.
At this moment, He Si's forehead was covered with large beads of sweat, and the fierceness in his eyes had been replaced by resentment. He spat out a mouthful of saliva, "I didn't expect Lord Su to have such skills. This time, I am completely convinced of my defeat."
No matter how you interrogate a thug like He Si, he won't talk, so Su Mu won't waste his time on him.
He looked directly at Guo Fuchun, who was slumped on the ground.
Guo Fuchun noticed Su Mu's gaze and hurriedly scrambled to his feet, trembling.
"Lord Su... Lord Su, I'm willing to tell you anything, please save me!"
"Yes, it's Kang Qian, the steward of Prince Yong's residence!"
"He gave us money to frame Yu Ji. He said there would be a big reward if we succeeded..."
Yu Wan was not surprised to hear the result.
She asked, "Why did the steward of the Prince Yong's mansion specifically seek you out?"
Guo Fuchun hurriedly said, "Because we are from the same hometown as Kangxi and Qianlong! We came to Beijing together back then, and hadn't been in contact for decades. That day, he found us and said that as long as we did what he said, he would give us a large sum of money. We were short of money, so we agreed. Who knew, who knew..."
Who knew we'd run into such a tough opponent.
In fact, Guo Fuchun and Qiao Dahong had inquired about Yu Ji's situation before they went to cause trouble.
Upon learning that the owner of Yu's restaurant was a woman, neither of them took her seriously.
But who knew that they were looking down on people and would actually fall for a woman?
Yu Wan nodded knowingly.
She has learned most of what she wanted to know.
He then said to Su Mu, "Lord Su, thank you for today."
Su Mu met her gaze and nodded slightly, "Madam Yun, you're too kind."
Guo Fuchun interjected tremblingly, "I've told you everything you want to know, can you please release my son?"
Yu Wan glanced at him, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes, "You're quite the doting father."
Guo Fuchun looked embarrassed and stammered, "I...I know I did something wrong, but I did it for my family! My son is still young and can't be without a father..."
Yu Wan's expression softened slightly, and she said, "Don't worry, your son is safe and sound. That bell was just something I used to scare you."
Upon hearing this, Guo Fuchun felt a great sense of relief, his face filled with joy. "Thank you, Madam! Thank you, Madam!"
Su Mu looked coldly at Guo Fuchun, "Although you have revealed the mastermind, the matter of framing Yu Ji cannot be let go. I will deal with you according to the law."
Guo Fuchun nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, Your Excellency is fair and just, and I am willing to accept the punishment."
Su Mu turned to Yu Wan and said, "Madam Yun, I will see you out."
Yu Wan did not refuse, and curtsied, saying, "Thank you."
She had said "thank you" to herself many times, but Su Mu frowned, finding the "thank you" increasingly grating.
The two were released from Dali Temple prison together.
Su Mu asked Yu Wan, "What does Madam Yun plan to do about this?"
This matter is not a big deal. Even if it were taken to the Yong Prince's residence, the Yong Prince would simply deny it, so there would be nothing that could be done about it.
Yu Wan had already figured out what to do. She took a few steps closer to Su Mu, raised her eyebrows, and whispered a few words to Su Mu.
Su Mu did not expect her to approach so suddenly.
Actually, there was still a long distance between the two, about an arm's length away, but Su Mu's mind was momentarily disturbed, as if the woman's fragrance lingered around his nose.
It has a very fresh and elegant fragrance, like a secluded orchid in a valley or green grass after the rain, making people unconsciously immerse themselves in it.
Realizing that she was overthinking, Su Mu suddenly froze.
His hands, hidden in his sleeves, clenched into fists. He mentally berated himself, suppressed his chaotic thoughts, and said calmly:
"Alright, let's do as Madam Yun says."
Yu Wan did not notice Su Mu's unusual behavior.
She said goodbye to Su Mu.
Seeing that it was almost time to finish her shift, and that the Ministry of Rites was located in front of the Dali Temple, she headed directly towards the Ministry of Rites.
Shen's birthday is coming soon, so it's a good time to go with Yun Shang to have a set of jewelry made for her at the Golden Pavilion.
Shen usually buys clothes and jewelry for her and Yunxi, but rarely buys anything for herself.
To this day, there is not a decent set of headdress in Shen's dowry.
Since Yu Wan is not short of money, she thought of having a set of jewelry made for Shen Shi.
Now that Yun Shang holds an official position, the women of the Yun family will undoubtedly have many social engagements in the future, so they cannot afford to be looked down upon.
Yu Wan arrived outside the Ministry of Rites.
It was time for the officials to finish their shifts, and they were gradually emerging from the government office.
She stood to the side, her eyes searching for Yun Shang's figure in the crowd.
Before long, Yun Shang, dressed in official robes, walked out of the yamen with an upright posture.
He had a calm demeanor, an extraordinary air about him, and was remarkably young, making him stand out among a group of seasoned veterans.
Yu Wan's eyes lit up, and she quickly went to meet her.
When Yun Shang saw Yu Wan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
A smile unconsciously crept onto her lips, and she asked in a gentle voice, "Why are you here?"
Yu Wan walked to Yun Shang's side and said with a smile, "My mother-in-law's birthday is coming soon, and I was thinking we should go to the Golden Pavilion together to have a set of jewelry made for her."
Yun Shang was slightly taken aback.
With more than half a month to go before his mother's birthday, he didn't expect Yu Wan to be so concerned and already thinking about preparations.
He gazed at Yu Wan, his eyes fixed solely on her.
His voice lowered, carrying a somewhat enigmatic meaning, "My wife is so thoughtful."
Yu Wan's cheeks flushed when he called her "wife".
In broad daylight, Yun Shang actually learned to flirt with her!
