Very soon, a maid came in and informed her that her worries were not unfounded.Two servants were caught, and they confessed her involvement in front of everyone. The Eldest Young Madam was on her way to Zilan Garden with the poisoned roast chicken. Xie Jinyu immediately panicked. Shangguan Feng’er put down the chess piece in her hand and said, "It’s getting late, I should return to the mansion." As she was about to leave, Xie Jinyu naturally wouldn’t let her go, grabbing Shangguan Feng’er’s sleeve and saying, "This idea was given by you, now that something’s gone wrong, you can’t just walk away." "If I don’t leave now, do you want me to be carried out of the Duke Zhen Country Mansion?" Shangguan Feng’er said anxiously. "I have a way to keep both of us safe," Xie Jinyu said. "What way?" Shangguan Feng’er asked. Xie Jinyu whispered a couple of words into Shangguan Feng’er’s ear. Shangguan Feng’er was unwilling, but given the current situation, she had no other choice. She hurriedly left with her maid, and to avoid Su Jin, she even took a side path. Su Jin frowned slightly. Why did the eldest lady from Duke Chong’s Mansion take a detour upon seeing her? Su Jin didn’t think much of it, and with Xingxing and the roast chicken, she entered Zilan Garden. As she tried to enter the house, a maid stopped her at the door. "Please return, Eldest Young Madam." "The young lady hasn’t recovered and isn’t seeing anyone," the maid said. Su Jin’s expression turned cold. A voice came from inside, "Let her in." Su Jin’s brow furrowed tightly. First, she was being stopped, then allowed to enter, what trick was Xie Jinyu playing? She couldn’t believe that Xie Jinyu was unaware of the matter involving the questioning of the servants in the front courtyard. Not knowing what she was planning, Su Jin walked in. Xie Jinyu sat on the bed, the gauze curtain lowered, making it impossible for Su Jin to see her face. Xie Jinyu’s voice came, "Did the sister-in-law come to ask about the arsenic on the roast chicken?" Xingxing was a bit confused. They were supposed to kick the door open, but the other party had opened it for them. Su Jin looked at the gauze curtain, waiting for Xie Jinyu to continue. Xie Jinyu paused and said, "I didn’t know about this; it was cousin Shangguan who heard that the dog bit my mother and wasn’t dealt with. To vent my mother’s anger, she had a maid order someone to poison the dog." "After you traced it to my maid, cousin Shangguan was afraid I’d be wronged unjustly and has already gone to plead guilty to grandmother." This plea for forgiveness left Su Jin unprepared. In normal situations, shouldn’t one first deny? Failing that, let the maid take the fall. She hadn’t even accused anyone, yet here they were admitting guilt straight off. Su Jin suddenly didn’t know what to do. Since Shangguan Feng’er had confessed, she certainly couldn’t make trouble for Xie Jinyu, even though she couldn’t disentangle herself from this matter. Su Jin left Zilan Garden and headed towards Qihao Hall. However, when she reached the garden, she stopped, turned, and walked towards Agarwood Pavilion. Xingxing followed behind, puzzled, "Miss, aren’t you going to Qihao Hall anymore?" "Not going," Su Jin said sullenly. Since Shangguan Feng’er had admitted her mistake, and Little Black was unharmed, the Old Madam wouldn’t allow her to do anything to Shangguan Feng’er. If she went there now, she might even get a round of scolding from the Old Madam. By not doing anything, the Old Madam wouldn’t be able to guess what she was thinking. If she didn’t present herself, the Old Madam wouldn’t have a chance to instruct her not to trouble Shangguan Feng’er. Although Shangguan Feng’er admitted her mistake, she was the innocent victim; the Old Madam couldn’t justifiably send someone to reprimand her. Weighing the pros and cons, Su Jin decided to return to Agarwood Pavilion. Over here, Su Jin returned to Agarwood Pavilion, while over at Qihao Hall, the Old Madam was waiting for her but without seeing her, her brows furrowed. Mrs. Wang knew what the Old Madam was thinking and asked a maid, "Go and see why the Eldest Young Madam hasn’t come." Shortly after, the maid returned and said, "The Eldest Young Madam turned back to Agarwood Pavilion halfway." The Old Madam’s brows twisted into a knot. The Eldest Young Madam had a fiery temper and wouldn’t let things go easily. Why is she acting so unusually today? By not confronting the issue, she’s left some things unsaid that are hard to articulate. She couldn’t very well call her over just to scold her, as this wasn’t her fault. The Old Madam toyed with the Buddha Beads in her hand, feeling a vague sense of unease. Since the eldest lady from Duke Chong’s Mansion had admitted her fault, and she had allowed her to return home, the Duke Zhen Country Mansion couldn’t hold her accountable any longer. If the Eldest Young Madam ever caused her trouble in retaliation for the dog, it could damage her reputation. After thinking it over, the Old Madam instructed Mrs. Wang on a few things. Agarwood Pavilion, backyard. Upon returning, Su Jin had Xingxing unearth the beggar’s chicken. Wrapped in two lumps of mud with lotus leaves, it was packed and ready to go as Su Jin left the courtyard. They went to the storeroom and selected two bolts of silk. Just as they were about to leave the courtyard door, they saw Mrs. Wang approaching with the maid Hongxiu. Hongxiu carried two bolts of Shu brocade in her arms. Seeing this, Xingxing said, "Why is Mrs. Wang here?" Mrs. Wang bowed to Su Jin and said, "The eldest lady from Duke Chong’s Mansion stood up for Princess Nanzhang, nearly causing harm to the Eldest Young Madam’s dog. She took the initiative to admit her mistake to the Old Madam, who doesn’t want to pursue the matter further." "The Eldest Young Madam, understanding and reasonable, returned after her departure. Knowing she was wronged, the Old Madam sent me to deliver two bolts of silk to her as a gift." "The Eldest Young Madam need not worry. The Old Madam has already cautioned the young lady from Duke Chong’s Mansion that such matters will not occur again," Mrs. Wang said. "The Duke Zhen Country Mansion and Duke Chong’s Mansion have a good relationship. The Old Madam also hopes that the Eldest Young Madam will not fall out with the eldest lady from Duke Chong’s Mansion, damaging the harmony between the two mansions." Su Jin chuckled slightly and said, "As long as no one provokes me, I am easy to get along with." "Since the eldest lady from Duke Chong’s Mansion has admitted her mistake, I’ll let it go this time. I hope there really won’t be a next time, or else I’ll settle new and old scores together." Mrs. Wang certainly believed that Su Jin would act as she spoke. Hongxiu handed the Shu brocade to Xingxing, and Mrs. Wang, noticing Xingxing holding the silk, asked, "What’s the Eldest Young Madam up to...?" "Lady Chi helped me find Little Black, and I’m going to thank her," Su Jin said. "It’s proper to thank her, then I will send these two bolts of silk inside," Mrs. Wang said kindly. "No need," Su Jin responded. Mrs. Wang was slightly puzzled; Su Jin took the brocade and had Xingxing carry it along with the others, saying, "If not for Lady Chi today, Little Black would be in grave danger. Sending a couple more bolts demonstrates sincerity." Hongxiu, "...". Mrs. Wang, "...". Is the Eldest Young Madam deliberately trying to annoy the Old Madam? It’s unheard of to not take the Old Madam’s reward seriously. Taking the reward lightly is one thing, but Mrs. Wang feared Su Jin hadn’t taken the Old Madam’s conveyed message seriously. What’s worse, she didn’t dare question it. Watching Su Jin walk away with Xingxing. Mrs. Wang stood for a moment without moving. "Mrs. Wang?" Hongxiu called out. "What are you thinking about?" Mrs. Wang gazed at the distant figure of Su Jin, her voice carrying an indescribable tone, "The Eldest Young Madam is more understanding than I thought." The more she interacted with the Eldest Young Madam, the less she felt she was overbearing and unreasonable. In contrast, other people within the Duke Mansion, even the Old Madam... She sighed softly. Mrs. Wang stepped forward. Hongxiu was taken aback for a moment. If Mrs. Wang hadn’t mentioned it, she wouldn’t have noticed at all. Lady Chi saved the Eldest Young Madam’s dog, and in return, the Eldest Young Madam gave four bolts of silk as thanks, showing gratitude and repayment.
