Chapter 71: Yan Moci Runs into Trouble

Yan Huaian asked with a stern gaze, "Are what they said all true?"

Su Xiyan gritted her teeth; the situation before her left no room for denial, and she also did not want to keep deceiving Yan Laotaiye,

Su Xiyan nodded. "Yes, grandfather, I am indeed not Su Xiwei; I am Su Xiyan, the illegitimate daughter of the Su Family."

Hearing Su Xiyan's admission, Liu Huanyu revealed a smug expression; she let out a cold snort,

"For the Su Family to marry into our Yan Family, otherwise it would be an overreach across social classes."

"Now they actually let an illegitimate daughter marry into our esteemed Yan Family's eldest young master—this is utterly disregarding our Yan Family!"

Yan Zixin hated Su Xiyan intensely for last time making her embarrass herself in public; she sneered,

"I doubt the Su Family really has that much gall; Su Xiyan, you truly have a lot of nerve!"

"Speak! Is this whole thing all because you yourself wanted to greedily covet our Yan Family's immense wealth, and then deliberately married in!"

Su Xiyan stood there, her gaze showing no hesitation or weakness; she spoke calmly:

"Back then, Su Qingming threatened me with my grandmother's life, forcing me to marry in place of Su Xiwei."

"I have never coveted the Yan Family's property; if you don't believe me, Yan Laotaiye, you can investigate this matter yourself."

Seeing Su Xiyan like this, Yan Laotaiye's doubts diminished greatly.

But Liu Huanyu was not willing to accept this; she immediately said:

"Su Xiyan! Even if that's the case, how dare you say you entered the Yan Family with absolutely no ulterior motive?"

Liu Huanyu's words made Su Xiyan frown slightly.

She indeed could not.

She came for Yan Moci's Jade Ruyi; although she has now investigated the truth clearly.

But the Jade Ruyi was lost; even if she spoke of it, no one would believe her.

They would only think she was crazy for wanting to climb a branch and become a phoenix, spouting such nonsense.

Su Xiyan lightly bit her lower lip.

Su Xiyan's hesitation deepened the disappointment in Yan Laotaiye's eyes.

Seeing Su Xiyan's hesitation without excuse, Liu Huanyu grew even more pleased, thinking she had grasped Su Xiyan's weakness and wanted to continue attacking.

Unexpectedly, Yan Laotaiye slightly closed his eyes and spoke:

"Xiyan, I have been consistently pleased with our recent interactions.

But the Yan Family cannot under any circumstances allow outsiders to deceive us like this.

The Yan Family cannot keep you, but considering your service in caring for Moci and managing the Yan Family during this period,

I will have Steward Liu transfer a house into your account.

Having said that, Yan Huaian's gaze suddenly turned stern,

"Regarding what you said about Su Qingming threatening you to substitute marry, I will immediately send people to investigate.

"Once it is confirmed true, not only will I take back the betrothal gifts I gave then, but I will also surely bring about the utter ruin of the entire Su Family!

"Otherwise, if this matter gets out, our Yan Family will hardly be able to stand in the capital!

"I, Yan Huaian, being old, it's fine if people laugh at me, but Moci must absolutely not be made a laughingstock!"

Having said that, Yan Huaian stared steadily at Su Xiyan, the intention to see her off obvious.

Su Xiyan lightly bit her teeth, revealing a proper smile, and gave Yan Laotaiye a slight nod.

"Thank you, Yan Laotaiye, for your forgiveness of past faults; during these days, Xiyan has often been troublesome.

"Please take good care of your health in the days to come; farewell."

Having said that, Su Xiyan exhaled lightly.

"Really sorry, Yan Moci; it seems she can no longer continue helping him act."

Thinking, Su Xiyan forced an extremely faint smile and prepared to turn and leave.

But unexpectedly, a loud shout suddenly came from upstairs: "Quick, someone! The eldest young master has met with an accident!"

The originally solemn hall, upon hearing the sound, instantly stared at each other; the atmosphere grew even more tense, and Yan Zixin spoke first:

"Wait! Now Moci has had an accident! Su Xiyan, who daily interacts with him, is the most suspicious!

"Come! Immediately seize Su Xiyan for me! Absolutely cannot let her escape!"

Seeing the bodyguards who instantly surrounded her, Su Xiyan frowned deeply.

"How could this be? Yan Moci clearly just returned to his room; how could he have met with an accident?"

She did not believe it!

Su Xiyan's pupils suddenly contracted.

Her gaze swept over Yan Zixin and Liu Huanyu present without a change in expression.

"Could it be that this is a scheme that had long been planned!?

"Who exactly is the mastermind!"

"Someone knew Yan Moci had already awakened, and thus wanted to go all out, directly kill Yan Moci and then frame her!"

"What an excellent two-birds-one-stone scheme!"

"Ha!"

"If that's truly the case, let alone them not letting her go now."

"Even if they let her leave, she would absolutely not go!"

"Yan Moci, this party A, still has a three-month agreement with her; she will absolutely not abandon him like that!"

Facing the approaching bodyguards, Su Xiyan coldly said: "Don't touch me, I will walk myself."

"Yan Moci has met with an accident; I naturally will not leave."

These bodyguards had previously interacted with Su Xiyan; some had even received her favors.

Hearing her speak, they naturally stood to the side and did not move.

Yan Zixin saw the bodyguards of the old residence not listening to her words, not speaking, and even showing a hint of respect for Su Xiyan, which made her very angry.

"These are useless things," she said to Zhang Chengye beside her: "Cheng Ye, go!"

Zhang Chengye, standing aside, had long been eager to act; he had blamed Su Xiyan several times; now that Su Xiyan had completely fallen into the mire and lost the old master's protection.

He could not wait to settle old scores with Su Xiyan right now; hearing Yan Zixin's words, he was like a mouse that had fallen into a rice bin.

"Alright!"

Before Zhang Chengye could approach Su Xiyan, she already kicked him hard and sent him flying.

"Ouch!"

Zhang Chengye, kicked, lay on the ground bent at the waist, curled up like a shrimp, unable to get up.

Su Xiyan already had pent-up anger, plus worrying about Yan Moci's health; seeing Zhang Chengye now really annoyed her.

Those who rush to seek abuse shouldn't blame her for being impolite.

Seeing Su Xiyan act so arrogantly, Yan Zixin shouted: "Su Xiyan! You dare to be this arrogant!"

"Alright! The most important thing now is Yan Moci's body!"

"Little Liu, take me up to have a look!"

Yan Huaian interrupted everyone, and with Liu Guanjia's support, walked upstairs.

Ignoring the glaring Yan Zixin to the side, Su Xiyan followed closely upstairs, regarding Liu Huanyu who wanted to stop her.

Su Xiyan sneered, "How come? You don't need me anymore?"

Liu Huanyu glared at her fiercely,

"You wait downstairs, not allowed to go up!"

"Who knows what your intentions are in coming to the Yan Family!"

As Liu Huanyu and Yan Zixin went upstairs, they opposed Su Xiyan's desire to go up.

The bodyguard blocked her way, apologizing:

"Sorry, eldest daughter-in-law, without the old master's order you cannot go up."

Su Xiyan worried about Yan Moci in her heart, but had no choice but to wait downstairs.

Clenching her hands, Su Xiyan wanted to get in touch with Dongzi.

But she was blocked by Zhang Chengye beside her.

"Take this wretch's phone away! Who knows if she wants to tip off her accomplices!"

After saying that, Zhang Chengye staggered to his feet, wearing a lewd, wanton smile, and said:

"Su Xiyan, let's see how capable you are!"

Faced with the approaching bodyguards and Zhang Chengye who wanted to make things difficult for her, Su Xiyan furrowed her brow deeply.
