“Alright, I’ll leave it to you.”
Su Dingheng was previously unsure of how to interact with Liu Shulan. When Su Yingxue brought it up, he took the opportunity to relax with the two courtesans.
Su Yingxue walked in front of Liu Shulan and said politely, “Please.”
Liu Shulan’s handkerchief had already been twisted into a deformed shape. Old Madam Qiu’s capture undoubtedly had something to do with Su Yingxue.
But she couldn’t question Su Yingxue, and she couldn’t reveal herself.
Su Yingxue even offered to escort her back home…
This was like a sword with a hint of ostentation thrust into her chest.
“I’ve heard that Old Madam Qiu has been taking care of you since you were young. I believe your bond with her must be very deep,” Su Yingxue said as she caught the faint fragrance of flowers wafting through Marquis’s Manor.
“What are you trying to say?” Liu Shulan was already gnashing her teeth in hatred but had to be cautious with her words.
“It’s nothing. I’m just expressing my sympathy for you. Old Madam Qiu is the person closest to you. Why would she make such a mistake? Why would she provoke Tongchang Medical Center? What could she possibly gain from falsely accusing a clinic like this?” Su Yingxue raised her eyebrows, her tone carrying a sharp edge.
Liu Shulan sneered and said, “Perhaps this clinic has committed some egregious act that has angered both heaven and man!”
Su Yingxue had put pressure on the mother and daughter. Shouldn’t they be delighted?
The translation you provided is largely correct, but I have made a few minor adjustments to improve clarity and fluency while maintaining the past tense and your typesetting:
“You think so, but I believe this may be the result of your actions.” Su Yingxue chuckled.
Her expression was remarkably relaxed, and her eyes were as bright as spring.
What she conveyed to Liu Shulan was not only the pride of a victor but also her freedom.
Liu Shulan was now like a cautious mouse in front of her, carefully concealing her expressions and avoiding any signs of carelessness.
However, Su Yingxue could freely laugh as she pleased!
Sometimes, harming the enemy didn’t require using physical force, striking at the heart was the most ruthless.
Su Yingxue escorted Liu Shulan to the entrance of Qingxin Court. Liu Shulan’s grip on the handkerchief never once relaxed.
As Su Yingxue turned to leave, she whispered in her ear, “I don’t know if you’re familiar with criminal law, but for Old Madam Qiu’s involvement in ordering someone’s murder, even if she’s not beheaded, she will undoubtedly be severely beaten and imprisoned for several years. I’m just not sure how long someone of Old Madam Qiu’s age can endure.”
Liu Shulan had been holding back, biting her lower lip until it bled.
Once Su Yingxue had walked far away, she rushed towards the courtyard’s tables and chairs, kicking them over and shouting with red eyes, “Su Yingxue, 1 won’t let you get away with this!”
She had harmed her daughter and her family. She wanted her to pay with her life!
When Su Yingxue returned to the courtyard, she deliberately checked the courtesans’s courtyard. Inside, there was laughter and merriment, and Su Dingheng was being served with great enthusiasm.
She departed with a sardonic expression on her face.
Zhilan had been with her all along. She was so cautious that only after they returned to her room did she carefully ask, “Miss, you kept a low profile today, but you’ve made Liu Shulan suffer greatly. You should be happy, so why do you not seem happy at all?”
Teaching Liu Shulan and her daughter a lesson should have been satisfying, even if it didn’t make you happy.
However, Su Yingxue’s face only displayed a heavy expression.
“Because what I desire, apart from their lives, is the truth.” Su Yingxue’s eyes held a profound depth.
Taking two lives might be easy, but uncovering the cause of her mother’s death was not so straightforward.
She could make Su Yurou angry, but Liu Shulan was exceptionally patient. To learn the truth behind her mother’s death, she couldn’t afford to let her guard down.
She had to push Liu Shulan to her limits to have a chance to unearth the truth she sought from her..
