On this side, Su Huan took Yun Shuang on the carriage back home.

Inside the carriage.

Yun Shuang snorted angrily and said, "Zhu Gui died of a sudden death. Even the elder guarding the Medicine King Pavilion has personally verified it. I don't know why the old lady insisted on calling you back. Could it be that she wants to use this matter to bring bad luck to you, young lady?"

"Miss, you were just having a great time shopping and chatting with His Royal Highness Prince Ning. It was such a wonderful atmosphere, but they ruined it. It's really a bummer." Yun Shuang became more and more angry as she spoke.

Su Huan looked at Yun Shuang like this. If she hadn't heard the second half of the words, she would not have thought that this was what really made this girl angry.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she said in a calm voice, "When I found out the other day that Su Xuan and the others were behind my back, and asked me to marry Prince Ning after Prince Jing broke off my engagement, weren't you and Nanny Xia worried?"

Yun Shuang blushed with guilt, and whispered, "Miss, Nanny Xia and I are worried because of Prince Ning's leg. If Prince Ning's leg is healthy, I think you and Prince Ning are a perfect match made in heaven."

"Just now in Medicine King Pavilion, His Royal Highness Prince Ning protected Miss and spoke to Miss politely and modestly afterwards. His Royal Highness Prince Ning respects Miss and trusts her very much. Putting aside the fact that His Royal Highness Prince Ning has a disabled leg, His Royal Highness Prince Ning is indeed very good. Anyway, I think he is a hundred times or a thousand times better than the previous person."

'Someone', he didn't even want to mention his name. Su Huan couldn't help but chuckle. Yun Shuang was a girl with some speaking skills.

Yun Shuang moved closer to her young lady, and spoke in a lower voice than before, "Young lady, I just heard you tell His Royal Highness Prince Ning that you have a way to cure his leg. Is there really such a magic method? I heard that no famous doctor in the world can cure his leg."

Su Huan looked at Yun Shuang. She controlled the volume of her voice when she was talking to Mo Qianhan just now. The street was busy and noisy with sounds from all over the place. When they talked, only each other could basically hear them clearly.

Although Yunshuang and Mo Qianhan's bodyguard Liuxing followed behind, they also kept a distance. If Liuxing was a martial arts master with sharp ears and eyes, he could only hear roughly what was going on at that distance, but Yunshuang's ears were quite useful.

"You have good hearing." Su Huan smiled and said, "There is indeed a way, but we need to diagnose first and then prescribe the right medicine."

Yun Shuang didn't listen carefully to what her mistress said next. When she said she had "good hearing", she knelt down beside her legs and said, "Miss, I don't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation with His Royal Highness Prince Ning."

Su Huan helped her up and said, "Girl, I am praising you."

Yun Shuang: "Since I was a child, my hearing has been sharper than that of ordinary people. If I focus on one thing, I can listen more carefully, so..."

Su Huan: "No need to explain, I don't blame you. Don't kneel in front of me."

Yun Shuang nodded and said seriously: "Miss, don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut and will never say anything nonsense."

Su Huan knew what she was doing. Nanny Xia and Yun Shuang were loyal to her. If they really wanted to betray her, they would have left long ago when the situation got to that point. Why would they still be waiting foolishly?

She raised her hand and gently patted Yunshuang's shoulder, saying, "You have sharp hearing, which is good."

Yunshuang: "Miss, you can cure Prince Ning's leg, right?"

Su Hua: "I said I can cure it, do you believe me?"

Yunshuang: "Miss, if you say you can, then you can."

Having said this, Su Huan didn't say much.

Soon, the carriage stopped at the main entrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Yunshuang helped the young lady get off the carriage and entered the prime minister's residence, not to the old lady's Fuxi Hall, but to Zhu's Jinhua Pavilion.

When Su Huan walked in, she saw a corpse covered with white cloth on the ground. It was obviously Zhu Gui.

She didn't even bother to look at them any more, and walked forward and bowed to Old Madam Su and Su Bingyan.

However, before she could say anything, Zhu had already spoken her words of accountability.

Zhu: "Su Huan, my brother was always fine, but how come he suddenly died after speaking a few words to you in Yaowang Pavilion today?"

Su Hua sneered, "The elder guarding the Medicine King Pavilion verified it in public and gave an explanation. You still come to ask me. I really wonder if you have no brains or ears."

Su Bingyan: "Huan'er, your stepmother just wants to ask you about your specific situation. This is not the etiquette you should follow when talking to your elders."

Su Hua: "Father, you are the Prime Minister, the head of all officials, second only to the Prime Minister and above all others. You still need me to explain something so obvious. Or do you think that Yaowang Pavilion is untrustworthy and insist on accusing your daughter of murder?"

Su Bingyan frowned slightly, "I never meant that."

Su Hua laughed sarcastically, "It's good that father didn't do that. If it gets out and someone starts to think that, it will affect your reputation as an official."

Old Madam Su had a gloomy face. There was indeed something strange about Zhu Gui's death, but even the elder in charge of Medicine King Pavilion had given the result in public. No matter which famous doctor or coroner came, who could overturn the statement of the elder in charge of Medicine King Pavilion?

"Well, Zhu Gui is your stepmother's brother after all. Your stepmother is concerned about him and may have lost her sense of proportion. Just send him back to the Zhu family and bury him properly."

"Yes, madam." Zhu agreed.

Zhu noticed the look the old lady gave her. Even though she didn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with Su Huan, she had to stop here. She also understood the old lady's hint. She would just remember it for now and settle it with Su Huan later.

Su Huan took in the look from Old Lady Su and Mrs. Zhu. She said coldly, "Grandma, I'm telling you the truth. It's not a pity for Zhu Gui to die. We should send him back to the Zhu family for a proper burial. We didn't order anyone to dump his body in the street. The Zhu family came to claim it themselves. We have done our best."

Dumping a body in the street?

When these four words came out of Su Huan's mouth, everyone in the room was shocked.

Madam Su frowned and said in a deep voice, "The dead are the greatest. Even if you don't recognize your stepmother's relatives, you can't avoid them according to family rules. How can you say such a dishonorable thing, kid?"

Zhu was furious. "What the old lady said is very true. How can you be so vicious at such a young age?"

"I'm vicious?" Su Huan didn't care and said sarcastically, "It seems that grandma and father don't fully understand the whole story."

Su Huan took her time and explained in detail how Zhu Gui and Zhou Xun had secretly colluded to embezzle several old accounts of Jisheng Medicinal Materials Store and seized a batch of medicinal materials from the store. She also informed Zhou Xun that he had been dismissed from the Yaowang Pavilion, detained, and was awaiting sentencing.

For a moment, the faces of everyone present were extremely ugly, especially Zhu!
