Chapter 515: Chapter 522: The Deterioration of the Illness

Zhai Li escorted the Su Hengyi couple and Marquis Bei’an and his son to safety, and there was no need to keep the news about Su Wenyue from them any longer, so he told Mr. and Mrs. Su Hengyi the truth.

“What did you say? How could Younger Sister possibly jump off a cliff? That’s impossible! How could she do such a foolish thing?” Su Hengyi’s first reaction was disbelief and refusal to accept, feeling that this matter was extremely absurd.

Information from others might be a false transmission, but this news came from Zhai Li’s mouth, and from any aspect, Zhai Li wouldn’t possibly tell Su Hengyi something untrue. The only possibility was that such an event had indeed happened.

Feng Ruolin looked at Su Hengyi worriedly. Naturally, she was saddened by the misfortune that had befallen her younger sister-in-law, but she was most concerned about her own husband. She had seen for herself how dearly her Husband loved his sister, and now, with such an occurrence, he must be unable to accept it. Not to mention her husband, even she found it hard to accept.

“Madam did indeed jump from the cliff, probably unwilling to let Master be threatened by people from the Imperial Court because of her, so she made the resolute decision to jump. Fortunately, Madam’s life was not fated to end there. At the bottom of the cliff was a deep-water lake, and it was only because of this that Madam miraculously survived. However, she was then taken away by someone, and now Master is doing everything possible to search for Madam’s whereabouts. He will surely find Madam soon,” Zhai Li hurriedly shared everything he knew with Su Hengyi when he saw his reaction, speaking with a hint of respect and admiration.

Indeed, before this, he could never have imagined that Madam would do such a thing. For the sake of Master, she had been so decisive. Such a woman deserved admiration from anyone. The Master had good insight; they had previously thought Madam too domineering, spoiled, and prone to jealousy, almost jeopardizing Master’s affairs.

Upon hearing from Zhai Li that Su Wenyue had escaped death, Su Hengyi’s expression eased somewhat, and he quickly focused on the development of the situation: “Since that’s the case, after so much time has passed, Han Yu should have found Lady Yue by now. Have you received any news?”

“To date, there’s none. Madam seems to have been taken away by an expert under Young Master Sikong, who is deliberately hiding their tracks. Master is still making great efforts to search for Madam’s whereabouts,” Zhai Li candidly shared what he knew with Su Hengyi, because Su Hengyi, unlike others, was Madam’s Elder Brother and cared about and was concerned for Madam more than anyone else, and would not allow any unfavorable rumors to spread, affecting Madam’s reputation.

“Younger Sister was taken away by Sikong Ling’s men? Sikong Ling seems to have a close relationship with your master. Why would he…” Su Hengyi began to ask but seemed to remember something and did not continue. Previously, Sikong Ling appeared to have his designs on his sister, but what happened afterward, he did not know.

“As a subordinate, I dare not presume to speculate about matters between masters. If Uncle wishes to know, I’m afraid he has to ask Master himself,” Zhai Li said, hinting that he had knowledge of the matter but, as he had implied, there were indeed things that were not for a subordinate to interfere with.

Su Hengyi was also aware of Zhai Li’s reservations and did not press further. It would be better to wait until he met Han Yu and asked him in person.

According to Su Hengyi’s own thinking, he wanted to go and find his sister directly, but since Marquis Bei’an and his son had come over from Chang’an and were unfamiliar with everything here, Su Hengyi had to first escort them to the Feng family. His parents were there, and they must have been very concerned about him these days in Chang’an.

Master Su, seeing Su Hengyi return safely, was indeed very excited, especially when seeing his elder brother, Marquis Bei’an, standing safely before him, he could finally set aside a great deal of worry in his heart.
