Chapter 120: Chapter 120 WeighIn the main hall, everyone exchanged glances and kept silent. They knew the Purple Jade Bracelet was meant to set up Xingxing, but they hadn’t expected Su Jin to see so clearly through it. That little maid was the key; if they questioned her carefully, they could uncover how Princess Nanzhang and her daughter’s scheme backfired. They were now questioning whether Xingxing was truly afraid of ghosts or intentionally kicked the Purple Jade Bracelet to make Princess Nanzhang and Xie Jinyu suffer in silence. The Second Madam and Third Madam sipped their tea quietly, ready to watch the drama. However, it never escalated into a real commotion. The little maid had died. The old woman who spread the news hurried back, saying, "That little maid seemed to have lost her mind and ran into a wall." "Maybe she was afraid my sister-in-law would torture her for a confession, fearing she couldn’t endure the harsh punishment, so she ran into a wall," Xie Jinyu said sarcastically. Su Jin wore a cold smile on her lips. Xingxing couldn’t help but say, "Madam said that in noble families, if a maid commits suicide, it’s either to silence them or to die for their family." A very thorough analysis. Her mother, Mrs. Tang, must be a master at household intrigue. It’s just that in Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, there were no concubines, so her mother’s skills had no place, and they were all used against Su Chong and Su Yang. "In whose hands is that maid’s family contract?" Su Jin asked. No one answered her. The room fell silent, and no one could guess what Su Jin was planning to do. Su Jin’s gaze swept across the room and fell on the old woman, "Does nobody know?" The old woman lowered her head. Even if she knew, she wouldn’t dare to say. Though the Eldest Young Madam was vicious, Princess Nanzhang was the one in charge in Duke Mansion. If she displeased Princess Nanzhang, crushing her would be as easy as crushing an ant. Su Jin chuckled softly, turned, and left. Xingxing looked baffled. Why just walk away like that? Xie Jinyu’s face turned sour, and just as she was about to speak, Princess Nanzhang shook her head, advising her to stay calm. Xie Jinyu angrily stamped her foot, feeling wronged over the shattered Purple Jade Bracelet. After sitting for a while, Princess Nanzhang also left Qihao Hall. Walking beside her, Xie Jinyu said, "Mother, just like that, the Purple Jade Bracelet given to me by the Empress Dowager was kicked to pieces by a maid? Is that the end of it?" Killing that maid was not an option. She couldn’t accept this outcome. "This matter won’t be left at that," Princess Nanzhang said coldly. Princess Nanzhang didn’t intend to let this matter go, and neither did Su Jin. After leaving Qihao Hall, Su Jin kept walking forward. Xingxing followed behind, looking around anxiously, "Miss, this isn’t the road back to Agarwood Pavilion." "We’re going to the front yard," Su Jin said. "Ah? What are we going to do in the front yard?" Xingxing asked, confused. "To get justice for you." "Miss, you’re so kind." Xingxing followed along cheerfully. Su Jin went to the front yard, and Manager Li came up to her, "Eldest Young Madam, are you going out of the mansion?" Su Jin looked at him and asked, "Does that little maid’s family have anyone left, and who holds their family contract?" Manager Li had already heard about the Purple Jade Bracelet incident. Having witnessed the internal household struggles, Manager Li knew what was happening. He couldn’t deny the Eldest Young Madam and her maid were uncanny. Ever since they married into Duke Zhen Country Mansion, they seemed invincible, and anyone opposing them was unfortunate. Manager Li replied, "The maid has parents, a brother and sister-in-law, and younger siblings. Their family contract is kept in the public records." "Give me their family contract," Su Jin demanded. "... ." "Why does Eldest Young Madam want their family contract?" Manager Li asked. Xingxing stared at him and said, "If she doesn’t give a reason, will you refuse?" Manager Li, "... ." "I wouldn’t dare. I’ll send someone to fetch it," Manager Li hurriedly said. A nearby servant quickly went to retrieve the maid’s family’s contract. Su Jin took it and flipped through it casually, "All right, call in the human traffickers early tomorrow morning. I’m going to sell their entire family." Manager Li, "... ." Seeing Su Jin turn to leave with the contract in hand, Manager Li quickly said, "Eldest Young Madam, the little maid committed suicide, and her family is not involved." "No need to persuade me. The little maid thought her suicide would keep the secret safe and her family intact. Unfortunately, she encountered me," Su Jin said calmly. "... ." With that, Su Jin stepped away. Manager Li rubbed his forehead. The Eldest Young Madam intended to use this incident to shake Princess Nanzhang’s authority in Duke Zhen Country Mansion. Offending the Eldest Young Madam meant that she would pursue this to the end. Even if the maid committed suicide, she would still demand the price from her family. Selling them would be lenient. No one could stop the Eldest Young Madam from doing what she wanted. In the future, any maid thinking of scheming against the Eldest Young Madam under Princess Nanzhang’s orders would have to weigh the risks. Manager Li was a bit alarmed. The Eldest Young Madam truly grew up in the Feihu Village of Qingyun Mountain, with such a mind and means, surpassing even those who grew up in the intrigue-filled inner households. However, the fact that the Eldest Young Madam took the family contract was no small matter. Manager Li was afraid of Princess Nanzhang’s blame and hurried to Peony Garden. Upon hearing Su Jin took the maid’s family contract, Princess Nanzhang’s face turned icy. Mrs. Zhao said coldly, "Who let you give it to her?!" Manager Li was somewhat displeased. After all, he was a steward of the outer courtyard, and to be yelled at like this, he said, "The Eldest Young Madam demanded it; I didn’t dare not to give it." "The mansion has its rules; wasn’t the maid losing her life enough to appease the Eldest Young Madam?" Mrs. Zhao said unhappily. "Although the Eldest Young Madam took the contract, the human traffickers haven’t entered the mansion. If Mrs. Zhao wants to save them, there’s still time," Manager Li said. This was a contest of authority. The Eldest Young Madam would not be easily bullied. Princess Nanzhang was even less willing to let the Eldest Young Madam sell that family easily. But he didn’t want to get involved. To avoid getting caught in the crossfire. Princess Nanzhang glanced at Mrs. Zhao, "Go to the Eldest Young Madam and get the contract back." Mrs. Zhao understood the seriousness of the matter, bowed, and left. Agarwood Pavilion, the inner room. Su Jin sat down for tea, while Xingxing stood by, looking cautious. Su Jin noticed and asked, "Why the expression?" "This servant nearly caused trouble for you, Miss," Xingxing admitted her mistake. "Finding lost items is a virtue; I don’t blame you," Su Jin said with a smile. "What about kicking the Purple Jade Bracelet?" Xingxing’s eyes brightened a little. "Kicked it well." "... ." Xingxing immediately beamed with joy. "But in the future, you must remain cautious and careful," Su Jin instructed. Xingxing nodded repeatedly. Su Jin offered her some pastries, and Xingxing accepted, eating only half of it. Outside, a little maid came in and said, "Eldest Young Madam, Mrs. Zhao is here." Xingxing’s face soured, "What’s she here for?" "Let her come in," Su Jin said leisurely, eating her pastry. The two of them enjoyed their treat cheerfully. From beyond the beaded curtain, Mrs. Zhao was filled with anger. After making the First Young Madam and the Princess angry, they were still eating pastries as if nothing happened, enough to make someone explode with rage. As she came in, Su Jin took another piece nonchalantly and asked, "Mrs. Zhao, did you come to see me for something?"
