As the two of them were harboring their own thoughts, they suddenly heard a commotion outside the Pei Manor.
It should be known that the Pei Manor occupied a large area. To be able to hear the noise from inside the study meant that something major had clearly happened. The two exchanged a glance. One had numb and hollow eyes, while the other's eyes darted with sharp light, but they both read the same meaning in each other's gaze.
—Let's go out and take a look.
The two walked out together. Before they even reached the manor gates, they heard a sharp, feminine shout: "Su Jin, Vice Commander of the Demon Suppression Division, acting on the orders of the Duke, has come to apprehend the bewitching monster..."
"Wei Chengye!"
The Demon Suppression Division!
Chen Liang's heart jolted.
Speak of the devil!
Quickening his pace, he exited the manor gates and saw fifty or sixty elites, led by Su Jin on horseback, completely surrounding Wei Chengye so that not even a drop of water could leak out.
Su Jin sat high on her horse, looking down at him as if he were an ant.
She listed Wei Chengye's crimes one by one.
When she finished speaking, she said coldly, "Wei Chengye, you have violated the laws of my Demon Suppression Division. Now..."
"Come with me to the Demon Suppression Division's office."
"Xie Changfeng."
"Your subordinate is here."
"Take Wei Chengye away."
"Alright!"
Xie Changfeng let out a loud laugh, dismounted his horse with a dashing movement, and strode toward Wei Chengye.
Wei Chengye, who had just been cursing passionately and wishing he could condemn Pei Jingzhi as a fool who didn't understand love, now had a face as pale as a sheet.
The Demon Suppression Division had risen like a sudden force, looming over the heads of everyone in the capital like dark clouds pressing down on a city. They had successively executed several high-ranking officials and were an organization that made people pale at the mere mention of their name.
And now... were these dark clouds about to descend on his head?
Wei Chengye hardly dared to imagine what a miserable fate awaited him if he fell into the hands of the Demon Suppression Division.
He hurriedly trembled and begged for mercy: "My, my, my..."
"My what?"
"Lord, lord, lord..."
"Lord what?" Xie Changfeng sneered disdainfully. He despised cowards like this the most. He reached out and lifted Wei Chengye up as easily as picking up a baby chick.
The shivering Wei Chengye finally managed to say, "My, my Lord, I, I have already surrendered. I, I sent the Demon Suppression Division Pei Jingzhi's plans for rebellion. I, I surrendered..."
"Really? But we didn't receive them." Xie Changfeng smiled as warmly as a spring breeze, but that smile looked terrifying in Wei Chengye's eyes. "Besides, even if we did receive them, so what?"
"In our Demon Suppression Division, merit is merit, and fault is fault."
"Because of this old woman, you delayed official business and disregarded the imperial court's laws. That is a crime punishable by beheading."
"Come on, come with me to the Demon Suppression Division and enjoy yourself!"
He threw him forward, and the Demon Suppression Division guards immediately grabbed him. Wei Chengye completely panicked. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Pei Jingzhi and, as if grasping at a lifesaver, started screaming like a madman.
"Lord Pei, Lord Pei, save me, save me..."
"You are my father's dearest friend, his sworn brother. You, you can't just watch me get taken away by the Demon Suppression Division."
Pei Jingzhi snorted coldly.
Although he knew in his heart that he deeply hated Ren Tianye's overwhelming power over the court, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a bit of satisfaction.
He replied, "Just go ahead."
"Once you enter the Demon Suppression Division, I will personally deliver meals to you!"
Wei Chengye's heart sank to the bottom of a lake, knowing that all hope was lost. In his final moment of being escorted away, he struggled to turn his head and cast a reluctant glance at Cai Genhua.
He shouted, "I'm sorry, my precious Cai Genhua. I, I might not be able to marry you in this life. We, we will be husband and wife in our next life..."
"Thud!"
Cai Genhua immediately fell to her knees, her face full of shock as she said, "Lord Wei, what are you talking about?"
"This servant is just an old woman responsible for your daily meals and living, your maidservant. How would I dare to latch onto your high-reaching connections? You, you shouldn't make such jokes with this servant."
"What?"
Wei Chengye's eyes widened, then turned entirely red, and finally, he looked as if his eyes were about to split open: "Cai Genhua, you, you, you..."
"This lowly one's name is Zhang Li, not Cai Genhua," Cai Genhua said. "My Lord cannot even remember this lowly one's name, so how can you spout such nonsense?"
"Don't let people hear this and laugh."
Cai Genhua spoke with a measured tone. Although her facial expression showed some nervousness at facing the Demon Suppression Division, her overall demeanor remained relatively calm.
She turned to Su Jin and said, "Commander, this Lord Wei Chengye has absolutely no relationship with this lowly one. This lowly one was merely bought by Lord Pei to clean up for Lord Wei Chengye. How could I possibly marry him?"
"Besides, this lowly one is nearly fifty, has given birth to eight children, and my menses have long stopped. How could I have any thoughts of finding another husband in this life?"
"Even if I really were to look for one, I should find someone of equal social standing."
"Lord Wei's status is something this lowly one would not dare to reach for, even in death."
Sitting high on her horse, Su Jin looked at Cai Genhua with a half-smile.
Listening to her sophistry.
Soon, she somewhat understood the Duke's intentions.
So, making her a member of the Demon Suppression Division had this kind of use as well.
If it were an ordinary person hearing Cai Genhua's words and seeing her attire, they would likely believe her, be moved by her tears, and perhaps let her go.
But she, Su Jin, was different.
She had experienced great storms and waves; she could see right through what this Cai Genhua was thinking at a single glance.
Therefore, after Cai Genhua stopped talking, she directly ordered Xie Changfeng, "This old woman makes some sense. Take her along to the Demon Suppression Division too. We will question her thoroughly once we arrive."
"That scoundrel Wei Chengye actually dared to use such methods to slander her. I, Su Jin, must get justice for her."
"Yes!" Xie Changfeng once again acted like an eagle catching a chick, grabbing Cai Genhua and tossing her casually to the side, where she was pinned down by the guards.
"My, my, my Lord, I, this really has nothing to do with me. I am wronged! I am wronged! I, I, I..."
Cai Genhua's panicked cries were ignored by everyone.
Su Jin couldn't even be bothered to spare another glance. She simply turned her gaze to Pei Jingzhi and said, "Su Jin, Vice Commander of the Demon Suppression Division, pays her respects to Lord Pei. Wearing armor, it is inconvenient to dismount and bow. I hope Lord Pei will forgive me."
Seeing that Pei Jingzhi did not reply, Su Jin smiled, "The Duke has already recommended Lord Pei to His Majesty. I wonder if Lord Pei has made up his mind yet?"
"Since we unexpectedly met today, I ask Lord Pei to give a clear answer, so I can report back to the Duke upon my return!"
Pei Jingzhi didn't say a word, turned around, and returned to the Pei Manor.
Su Jin shook her head slightly but didn't say anything more. She led her people back. This time, with Wei Chengye in hand, she had to make him spit out everything he knew.
About the Prostitute Empress!
About the late Emperor!
About... that woman with the true lover's knot.
Especially about... the woman who resembled her third sister, Su Li!
Perhaps, this time, she could unravel the doubts in her heart!
