Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 167 Uncovering the Traitor

During the process of quelling the internal strife, Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu keenly sensed that there seemed to be a traitor, Su Yue, hiding within the Marquis's residence. They knew that if these traitors were not brought to justice, the Marquis's residence would never have peace.

"We must find these traitors and expose Su Yue's conspiracy!" Xiao Ling said solemnly.

Su Jinxiu nodded in agreement: "What my husband says is absolutely right. We can start with the details of this rebellion and follow the clues to find the source."

So they began a secret investigation into those involved in the rebellion, carefully examining the background and behavior of each person. After some investigation, some clues gradually surfaced.

“This person’s behavior before the rebellion was highly suspicious; he frequently contacted people of unknown identity,” Su Jinxiu said, pointing to a piece of investigation data.

Xiao Ling glanced at the information, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "Send someone to keep a close watch on him and see what he's up to."

At the same time, they also strengthened the management of the Marquis's residence, strictly vetting those entering and leaving, and preventing spies from passing messages to the outside world.

Through their meticulous planning, they finally caught the traitor in the act of meeting with Su Yue's men.

"Your conspiracy has been exposed!" Xiao Ling led his men to surround the traitor and Su Yue's people.

Upon seeing this, the traitor's face turned deathly pale, but he still tried to argue, "I...I've been framed!"

Su Jinxiu sneered: "The evidence is conclusive, do you still want to deny it?"

Faced with irrefutable evidence, the traitor had no choice but to confess his crimes.

It turned out that Su Yue had long ago planted several spies within the Marquis's residence, attempting to undermine it from within. This rebellion was precisely what they had secretly planned and instigated.

"That despicable Su Yue, how could she be so insidious!" Xiao Ling said through gritted teeth.

Su Jinxiu calmly analyzed, "This also shows that our opponents are not to be underestimated, and we must be more careful."

With the traitor apprehended, Su Yue's conspiracy was fully exposed. The resentment of everyone in the Marquis's mansion towards Su Yue reached its peak.

"We absolutely cannot let Su Yue succeed again!"

"She must pay the price!"

Responding to the public's demands, Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu decided to take this opportunity to completely eliminate Su Yue's power.

On the one hand, they strengthened the defenses of the Marquis's residence to prevent Su Yue's counterattack; on the other hand, they began to collect evidence of Su Yue's crimes, preparing to bring her to justice.

During this process, they encountered many difficulties and challenges.

Su Yue also wielded considerable influence in the court. After learning that the traitor had been arrested, she began to use all her connections to try and exonerate herself.

"Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu fabricated evidence to frame me!" Su Yue cried out to the Emperor.

Some ministers who were unaware of the truth were also deceived by her and began to doubt Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu.

"There are probably other hidden reasons behind the current turmoil in the Marquis's mansion."

Faced with these pressures, Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu did not back down.

“We have enough evidence to prove Su Yue’s crimes, and we are not afraid of her denying them!” Xiao Ling said firmly.

Su Jinxiu also demonstrated her wisdom and decisiveness: "We can use the power of public opinion to let more people know the truth."

They exposed Su Yue's crimes to the public through various channels, which aroused public indignation.

"Such treacherous officials must be severely punished!"

"Support Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu, and seek justice for the Marquis's mansion!"

With the support of the people, the emperor had no choice but to take it seriously.

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly and show absolutely no favoritism to anyone!"

Ultimately, Su Yue's crimes were exposed one by one, she was dismissed from her post and investigated, and her family property was confiscated.

The Marquis's mansion has finally shaken off Su Yue's shadow and ushered in new opportunities for development.

"This is just the beginning. We will make the Marquis's Mansion even stronger!" Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu looked forward to the future with great confidence.

However, they were unaware that an even greater challenge awaited them...
