Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

Mu Yan gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know."

Baili Ye's eyes became even more severe. If looks could kill, Mu Yan would have been shattered by now.

Mu Yan was filled with self-blame, not because she was treated coldly, but because she had betrayed the adults' trust.

"Please give me a chance, I will find out the truth." Mu Yan was so excited that she even spat out blood due to her emotional fluctuations. Her face became paler and her body was shaking.

"I swear to find out the real culprit and will show no mercy." She spoke in a firm tone regardless of her own condition.

Baili Ye just glanced at her calmly, without any emotion. If Mu Yan had not been useful, she might have been a corpse long ago.

He said coldly: "I'll give you one day."

"Thank you, sir." Mu Yan's heart was pounding. The Fourth Prince had given her a chance, and she must not fail this time. She must not let His Excellency down again.

"Dr. Mu's identity has been exposed. You have to change your appearance," he said.

"Yes, sir." Mu Yan replied.

Baili Ye turned and left, leaving Mu Yan kneeling alone in the hall. She suddenly started coughing violently, coughing up blood, the scene in front of her became blurred, and her whole body trembled.

After a long time, she stood up while enduring the pain, limped out, and went back to her room to treat her wounds.

After taking off the tattered clothes, some wounds were stuck to the fabric. Mu Yan gritted her teeth and tore them apart violently, gasping in pain.

"No matter who she is..." She gritted her teeth, "I must find her and make her pay the price."

Inside the palace.

Doctor Mu was thrown into the sky prison and tortured all night long, but he did not utter a word.

The middle-aged man repeated weakly: "I don't know... I don't know..."

His voice was so weak that he might lose his life if he was tortured again.

"Your Majesty, this man is as stubborn as iron and refuses to speak," the guard reported.

The emperor's face was gloomy. After examining him, the imperial physician shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this man has collapsed mentally. No matter how much you torture him, you won't get anything out of him."

The emperor snorted angrily. There was no way to solve the health-preserving pill poisoning case, and the suspect had become demented. It was meaningless to continue the interrogation.

"Execute immediately." The emperor waved his hand and ordered.

"According to the order."

"Jiang Huan, continue to investigate Divine Doctor Mu's background. Even if you have to search the entire capital, you must find the mastermind behind this."

"I obey your command." Jiang Huan responded with a salute.

The atmosphere in the palace was like a dark cloud pressing down on one's head, making one feel suffocated. Outside the palace, in the Su residence, Ye Yunzi was still reading calmly, as if the changes in the outside world had no effect on her at all.

"Yunzi." Su Taigong walked over slowly. The poison in his body had been completely cleared and he looked refreshed. Under Tao Qiming's careful care, his complexion was much better than before.

Ye Yunzi put down the book in her hand, raised her head and said, "Grandfather."

"How about playing a game of chess with me?" Su Taigong suggested.

"Okay." She agreed readily.

The two sat opposite each other in front of the chessboard. Master Su gently brushed away the dust on the chessboard and said, "You go first."

Ye Yunzi did not refuse and directly picked up a black piece and placed it steadily in the center of the chessboard.

The grandfather and grandson took turns to make moves, and the game quickly became tense and exciting.

They were completely focused on the chessboard, silent. Su Taigong placed a white piece, putting the black player in a difficult position.

Seeing that she was about to lose the game, Ye Yunzi smiled and calmly placed another black piece in an inconspicuous position. Suddenly, the situation was reversed, and the black piece turned defeat into victory.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Su Taigong couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Great! What an unexpected move. You actually hid so many foreshadowings and caught me off guard until the very end. Hahahaha..."

Ye Yunzi just smiled and didn't say much.

The laughter gradually died down, and the atmosphere returned to calm. Su Taigong knew that this time he had not just come to her to play chess.

He gazed at his granddaughter in front of him, sighing at the passing of time. The once petite and gentle little girl has now grown into a graceful young lady.

She had a pretty face, her brows revealed intelligence and decisiveness, and her dark eyes sparkled with wisdom.

Not only is she smart, but she is also decisive. Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought her mother back home and insisted on a divorce; nor would she have had any contact with the Seventh Prince as she did recently.

Despite his advanced age, Su Taigong had a keen insight into worldly affairs. He knew that if he paid a little attention, he would be able to discover Yunzi's plan. For example, half a month ago, when he was unconscious due to poisoning, the Seventh Prince had secretly visited the Su Mansion.

After a long while, Master Su slowly said, "Have you thought it through?"

"What does grandpa mean?" Ye Yunzi put away her smile and her expression became serious.

"Have you really decided to stand on the side of the Seventh Prince?"

It turned out that her grandfather already knew everything. Yunzi never hid anything from her family, so anyone who paid a little attention could detect her movements. She nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I have decided."

Mr. Su's eyes were deep and he sighed heavily.

Ye Yunzi closed her lips tightly and lowered her head slightly. She only hoped to protect the safety of the Su family and those around her.

Baili Ye is ruthless and will never let go of any opponents once he gains power. The Su family was listed as his target for elimination because they remained neutral.

And, there is no turning back now.

From the moment she was reborn, her fate was sealed.

"Grandfather..." Ye Yunzi opened her mouth, wanting to explain.

But Su Taigong shook his head and said, "Do what you think is right."

Ye Yunzi was stunned. Her grandfather did not question her motives or her decision. He just supported her silently. "Grandfather..." She didn't know how to continue.

Su Taigong quietly took back the chess pieces on the board one by one and restored them to their original state.

He said softly: "I am old, and you will be the one to lead the Su family in the future. You can act however you want."

Ye Yunzi's heart was shaken, and she said firmly: "Grandfather, please rest assured, I will make the Su family prosperous and protect it from harm."

"Okay." Mr. Su smiled.

News came from the palace that Doctor Mu would be executed today.

Ye Yunzi had already expected that Mu Yan would be imprisoned in the Sky Prison, and this was also part of her plan.

however……

She narrowed her eyes and looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the window with a calm expression.

"But she is not someone who can be defeated so easily." She whispered to herself.

Even though she had lost her identity as a famous doctor, Mu Yan still mastered the art of disguise and poison, and Baili Ye would not give up such a master easily.

"Today's beheading...will this really be her end?" Ye Yunzi's eyes flickered.

"Leng Xue." She called out, and Leng Xue outside the door walked in immediately, "Let's go to the scene and take a look."

The streets were crowded with people watching the fun.

Ye Yunzi went to the execution ground with Leng Xue alone.
