The next day, when Su Yingxue returned to the manor, Su Qingzhi already knew about her visit to the Changxin Marquis’s Manor. Instead of scolding her, he even praised her.

Su Yingxue clung to her grandfather’s arm, acting playfully. “Grandpa, you spoil me so much. I’m going to be completely pampered.”

Su Qingzhi looked at her with eyes full of affection.

In his heart, he thought, so what if she gets spoiled? His granddaughter deserved all the love in the world.

However, his sigh carried a hint of helplessness. “Even if I spoil you, I can only do so for a little while longer. Once you marry the Ninth Prince, I won’t have the chance to pamper you.”

“Who says so? Even after I marry, I’ll still be your granddaughter!” Su Yingxue pretended to be angry. “Are you saying that after I marry, you’ll only spoil Sister Han and Miaomiao?”

Su Qingzhi stroked his beard. “That’s true. Han’er and Miaoyan still don’t have marriage arrangements.”

Su Yingxue puffed her cheeks. She understood she would soon be married off, and her grandfather would then turn his attention to her cousins.

Despite her playful words, there were still responsibilities in the manor to attend to.

Su Han saw her coming out of Su Qingzhi’s room and pulled her aside. She whispered, “Su Jinxuan is dead.”

Su Yingxue was slightly surprised. “When did it happen?”

“His body was found today. It’s already cold. Do you want to see?”

Su Yingxue nodded and went with her to Su Jinxuan’s courtyard.

Guards were stationed outside. Su Yingxue and Su Han went inside to examine Su Jinxuan’s body.

Saint Ruan, perhaps bored in the medicine hut, heard about the body and eagerly joined them.

Su Yingxue put on her gloves and was about to perform an autopsy on Su Jinxuan when Saint Ruan smelled the stench in the room. He frowned and said, “How long has he been dead to smell this bad?”

Su Han investigated the courtyard and returned to report to Su Yingxue. “Grandfather originally had this courtyard guarded. Two people were supposed to serve Su Jinxuan daily, and Su Wei checked on him regularly. But with all the wedding preparations, no one paid attention to Su Jinxuan. Today, someone passing by smelled the strong stench. He came in to investigate, only to find… the people guarding Su Jinxuan had disappeared as well.”

“Gone?” Saint Ruan flipped his hair dramatically. “They delayed discovering Su Jinxuan’s death on purpose!”

This place was already neglected, so no one noticed when Su Jinxuan was quietly killed.

Saint Ruan clicked his tongue. “Someone really hated Su Jinxuan!”

“It wasn’t a revenge killing,” Su Yingxue said seriously after examining the body.

“Could it be suicide? Someone as ruthless as Su Jinxuan wouldn’t give up easily. If he couldn’t kill you, he’d endure any torture. He wouldn’t commit suicide,” Saint Ruan reasoned.

Someone like Su Jinxuan would never end his own life easily.

Su Han agreed. “Su Jinxuan was ruthless. If he had any chance of survival, he would have fought desperately. Even in death, he would have plotted against you.”

Knowing Su Jinxuan’s ruthless nature, Su Han understood him well.

She remembered what she had learned from Min Jia. “His master is Wu Dao. That man is truly terrifying.”

After finishing the examination, Su Yingxue stood up to wash her hands. She frowned, her expression cold. “Su Jinxuan was drained of all his blood.”
