"I'm not here to quarrel with you. I just want to tell you that my marriage to the King of Yu is good for you and the Su family. If you really want to protect the Su family, you shouldn't stop me."
After saying that, Su Yueyue turned around and ran away. Her flustered appearance made Su Mingyu raise her eyebrows.
She didn't do all this to protect the Su family.
She just wanted to watch the Su family fall into eternal ruin!
Zhi Zhu was standing beside, and it wasn't until Su Yueyue had been gone for a long time that she came to her senses. "Miss... Second Miss just ran away like that?"
You know, in the past, Second Miss would surely scold Miss severely or even beat her before leaving.
This was the first time Zhi Zhu had seen Second Miss leave so quickly.
For some reason, Zhi Zhu felt that her own miss's position in the Su family had changed.
Before, Wang Manwen was so overbearing and the master disliked Miss so much.
But now, whenever there was any matter in the mansion, the master would consult Miss.
And no matter how much Wang Manwen disliked Miss, she didn't dare to scold or beat Miss as she used to.
"Miss, you're really amazing!" Although she didn't know what had happened, Zhi Zhu couldn't help but praise.
Su Mingyu curled her lips into a smile. "Just look at who I am."
The King of Yu acted really fast. Even without substantial evidence, on the night he had dinner with Su Mingyu, he led a group of people to Mo Wenyuan's mansion.
Ignoring Mo Wenyuan's obstruction, the King of Yu forcefully ordered his men to ransack the entire mansion.
Then, as expected, they found a bottle in a corner of a remote small wood - shed.
And the contents of that bottle were the very drug that the King of Yu had been poisoned with before.
In just one night, Mo Wenyuan disappeared without a trace in the capital. Apart from his dilapidated mansion, nothing was left.
Su Mingyu learned the news early the next morning. Although she knew that Gu Ruobai would surely be fine,
she still couldn't help but rush to the Prince Ruixian's Mansion without even having breakfast.
When she saw Gu Ruobai sipping porridge leisurely in a hurry, the stone in Su Mingyu's heart finally dropped.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Gu Ruobai glanced at her indifferently. There was an unfathomable light in his already deep eyes.
Su Mingyu felt a bit embarrassed and scratched her nose. "Are you okay?"
Gu Ruobai spread his hands amusingly. "Do you think I look like I'm in trouble?"
"Not really." Su Mingyu shook her head.
Gu Ruobai's tone remained calm, as if the chaotic situation of Mo Wenyuan outside had nothing to do with him. "Have you had breakfast?"
Su Mingyu licked her dry lips and honestly shook her head. "No."
"Since you haven't, come and eat." Gu Ruobai pointed to the stool in front of him.
Su Mingyu wasn't polite. She walked over, took a sip of porridge, and then asked cautiously, "Mo Wenyuan is in trouble. Will it... have any impact on you?"
"It seems you were in such a hurry that you didn't get the whole story." Gu Ruobai calmly picked up some dishes for Su Mingyu.
"What on earth is going on?" Seeing Gu Ruobai so unperturbed, Su Mingyu felt that all her worries were in vain.
But it was obvious that the man in front of her seemed to enjoy seeing her anxious and was even secretly taking pleasure in it.
"Mo Wenyuan is just the manager of Mo's Rice Oil, not the behind - the - scenes boss. So even though he was arrested, Mo's Rice Oil wasn't affected."
As he said this, Gu Ruobai squinted his puzzled eyes. "It seems that the King of Yu just wanted Mo Wenyuan dead and has no interest in Mo's Rice Oil at all."
Su Mingyu let out an "oh" with a bit of guilt, trying hard not to show too many flaws on her face. "You thought this day would come long ago, so you deliberately arranged for a so - called behind - the - scenes boss?"
Gu Ruobai raised his eyebrows. "After all, the King of Yu is biting very tightly."
For some reason, seeing Gu Ruobai so calm, Su Mingyu really wanted to punch him.
"You should have said so earlier. You made me so worried."
Since it hadn't affected Gu Ruobai, this was the best outcome.
She hoped that with the death of Mo Wenyuan's identity, Mei Qing would come to her senses. She couldn't be in love with "Mo Wenyuan".
Seeing that Su Mingyu looked much more relaxed, Gu Ruobai's thin lips curved slightly. "Why don't I see you this worried about me on ordinary days?"
Su Mingyu buried her head in drinking porridge and pretended not to hear.
But Gu Ruobai clearly saw the redness on the tips of her ears.
His heart softened. He originally wanted to question her about why she met the King of Yu again, but when he thought of how this girl had rushed to find him without even having breakfast after waking up, Gu Ruobai felt that nothing mattered.
Completely unaware that her actions had saved herself, Su Mingyu sat lazily in the pavilion after breakfast.
Autumn was getting stronger. Most of the camellias in the garden had fallen. Sitting here in just a single - layer robe, she even felt cold.
The rustling sound of Gu Ruobai turning the book beside her, accompanied by the sound of the wind, made Su Mingyu enjoy a rare moment of peace.
But just when she was on the verge of falling asleep, Mu Yi walked in with a rather bad expression. "My lord, Mei Qing is here."
Su Mingyu's heart skipped a beat. Was Mei Qing really so irrational as to come to Gu Ruobai?
Gu Ruobai noticed Su Mingyu's complicated expression and his black eyes darkened slightly. "Let her in."
As soon as Mei Qing came in, she knelt on the ground.
"Mei Qing has something to ask the lord for help..."
Gu Ruobai didn't even lift his eyelids. "It's the first time you've asked me like this."
Mei Qing lowered her head. "Mei Qing knows that she has no right to ask the lord to do anything for her, but regarding this matter... Mei Qing has no one else to turn to but the lord."
Gu Ruobai lifted his cold eyes slightly. "Get up and talk."
"Mei Qing doesn't dare." Mei Qing still knelt on the ground, looking extremely humble.
Su Mingyu felt a slight pang in her heart.
"Mei Qing, get up and talk first. Kneeling like this won't solve your problem, will it?"
Su Mingyu stepped forward and helped Mei Qing up.
Mei Qing gave Su Mingyu a grateful look. "I'm sure Miss Su and the lord have already heard that the Mo Mansion was raided by the King of Yu and Mo Wenyuan was arrested because he was accused of trying to poison the King of Yu."
Su Mingyu's heart skipped a beat. What was meant to happen had finally come. Mei Qing was really going to talk about this.
Gu Ruobai nodded. "You're here for him?"
"Yes." Mei Qing was about to kneel again, but luckily Su Mingyu stopped her in time.
"Mei Qing is originally the lord's secret guard and should only be loyal to the lord. But Young Master Mo has been kind to Mei Qing. Mei Qing knows that saying this will make the lord embarrassed, but Mei Qing has no other way out."
Mei Qing's eyes were a bit red, looking as if she was about to cry.
But in contrast to her sadness, everyone present had strange expressions on their faces, especially Mu Yi.
