"Good job, Zhao Zheng. I knew you had been leaving early and coming back late these past two days. Something must have happened. It turned out to be because of Zhou Yunxue."

"Her reputation is rotten to the ground, and you still want to get close to her. Do you think our life in Yong'an Marquis Mansion is too peaceful?"

After Chen Suizhu heard what Zhou Rulin said, she immediately started to smash and make trouble.

He didn't avoid them at all and pushed Zhao Zheng, causing him to stagger.

"Yunxue is innocent. If she hadn't fallen into the water that year, she would be the wife of the Marquis of Yong'an now. There would be no such thing as you, Chen Suizhu!"

"Zhao Zheng, I knew you were still thinking about that bitch. It's been so long, and I've been busy in and out of the Marquis' Mansion every day, working hard to take care of it. What about you?"

"You only have the title of Marquis in vain. If it weren't for my planning, the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion would have fallen into ruin long ago. You, the Yong'an Marquis, would have been poor and destitute and no one would know about it."

"You...what does this woman know? Women and villains are hard to raise..."

Even though Zhou Rulin had made sufficient preparations, he was still annoyed by the noise made by these two people.

"Lan Xi, why don't you try to persuade them?" Zhou Rulin asked.

Shen Lanxi sat aside steadily: "Isn't it just a few curses? It's not a fight. If it was a fight, it would be better if they died."

Seeing that she was acting indifferent, Zhou Rulin had to stand up.

"Nonsense, do you two want to obstruct the investigation?" Zhou Rulin slammed the table hard.

Zhao Zheng and Chen Suizhu stopped here reluctantly.

Zhou Rulin: "I am the chief official appointed by His Majesty. If you continue to act like this, don't blame me for reporting to His Majesty and punishing you!"

Zhao Zheng was angry and silent, and Chen Suizhu was so scared that she didn't dare to make a sound.

"Chen Suizhu, you went out to boat on the lake with Princess Yuxue that year. Tell me in detail what happened that day? How did the princess fall into the water? If you dare to conceal it, don't blame me for being merciless." Zhou Rulin said with a straight face.

Chen Suizhu's heart trembled, she lowered her head, and subconsciously looked at Zhao Zheng. Seeing that he turned his head away and didn't care about her at all, Chen Suizhu's face turned pale and she gritted her teeth in anger.

"When Yunxue fell into the water, Zhou Yunyuan and I were breaking off weeping willows on the shore. We heard her cry for help after she fell into the water and rushed over. We didn't see how she fell into the water."

Shen Lanxi: "Why isn't Yunxue with you?"

Chen Suizhu couldn't help but clench her fingers, and her knuckles turned white from the strength.

Seeing Chen Suizhu didn't say anything, Zhao Zheng yelled with a dark face: "Hurry up and speak."

Chen Suizhu was frightened and was about to quarrel with Zhao Zheng again.

Shen Lanxi: "As far as I know, Yunxue doesn't have a good relationship with you. Why did you invite her to go boating?"

"Who took the initiative to go boating?"

Chen Suizhu's eyes trembled twice, but soon recovered.

"It was Chang Yu who took the lead. Chang Yu and Yun Xue are closer."

Shen Lanxi: "Aren't you always with the princess and hostile to Yunxue? Why did you go when Chang Yu asked Yunxue to go boating?"

Chen Suizhu had a dark face and glared at Shen Lanxi.

"Hurry up and tell me, do you want to obstruct the investigation?" Seeing that Chen Suizhu remained silent, Zhao Zheng slammed the table again.

This time Chen Suizhu got anxious and immediately jumped up and cursed back.

"Zhao Zheng, I am your wife. Zhou Yunxue is someone else's wife. How dare you yell at me for someone else's wife?"

Shen Lanxi: "You are talking about something else. Are you trying to disrupt the investigation?"

"When Yunxue fell into the water, was it related to you? Was it you who pushed Yunxue into the water?"

Chen Suizhu was anxious: "Shen Lanxi, don't slander me. Zhou Yunxue fell into the water because she was careless. What does it have to do with me? If you keep talking nonsense and slandering me, I will be rude to you!"

Shen Lanxi looked coldly: "Since it has nothing to do with you, why don't you want to answer truthfully?"

Chen Suizhu choked and felt a little short of breath.

"Did I hit the nail on the head?"

Chen Suizhu subconsciously screamed back, "No."

Zhao Zheng was also anxious. Based on his understanding of Chen Suizhu, it was obvious that something was wrong with her current appearance.

Zhou Rulin: "Why don't you tell me the truth? Do you want to take the blame for pushing Yunxue into the water?"

Chen Suizhu shuddered with fear.

"Lord Zhao, your wife is obviously hiding something." Shen Lanxi began to put pressure on her.

Zhao Zheng heard it, and now he didn't care about the grudge with Shen Lanxi. He angrily said: "Did you push Yunxue into the water? Tell me quickly."

Chen Suizhu shuddered, not daring to meet Zhao Zheng's gaze, obviously feeling guilty.

"What happened on that day?" Shen Lanxi's voice became increasingly cold.

Zhou Rulin: "Chen Suizhu, quickly tell me the details. I can then plead for you in front of my father."

Chen Suizhu held on under the questioning of the three men, and burst into tears as she collapsed.

"It was the eldest princess who invited us to go boating on the lake, but she was busy and didn't come. But we had already agreed that we would give..."

Zhao Zheng's eyes were red and he looked like he wanted to eat someone.

"Say it quickly."

Seeing Zhao Zheng's violent reaction and Chen Suizhu being pinched on the shoulder by him and shaking with fear, Zhou Rulin hurried to persuade him.

"Now is not the time to be angry. Let's first find out the cause of the matter."

Zhao Zheng vaguely realized something in his heart. If it was because of him that Yun Xue was pushed into the water, then he would become the indirect murderer of Yun Xue.

Shen Lanxi: "Tell us what you know."

Chen Suizhu had just revealed the truth after being frightened. Now that she had calmed down, she was already regretting it and wanted to slap herself a few times.

How could she betray the eldest princess?

"If anyone is to blame for this, it's Shen Lanxi." Chen Suizhu looked at Shen Lanxi angrily.

Zhao Zheng: "What do you mean?"

"Who made Shen Lanxi so arrogant in the palace that she overshadowed the princess and the prince? The Shen family was sentenced to exile, and we can't do anything about it. Zhou Yunxue, who has always been with Shen Lanxi, is still in the capital. She was with Shen Lanxi and always looked down on us, so we want to teach her a lesson."

Zhao Zheng shouted: "So you pushed her into the water?"

Chen Suizhu's eyes flashed, and she said angrily: "We didn't push her into the water. We just wanted to ignore her and let her know that when Shen Lanxi left, no one would be friends with her anymore. Who knew she would be so unlucky that she would fall into the river while swimming in the lake."

"If you want to blame someone, blame Shen Lanxi. Zhou Yunxue was also implicated by her. Maybe when she was boating with us, she felt that we didn't like her, so she became depressed and had wild thoughts, and then she fell into the river?"

Zhao Zheng glared at Chen Suizhu and shouted, "You are making up stories. You are making up stories."

Chen Suizhu was about to quarrel with Zhao Zheng again. If someone hadn't stopped her, her long nails would have scratched Zhao Zheng's face.

"Zhao Zheng, I am your wife. How dare you doubt me for a dead person? Zhao Zheng, you are a cold-blooded bastard. I, Chen Suizhu, was really blind to marry you!"
