Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 99 Uncovering the mole

After a battle of wits and courage, Su Jinxiu successfully identified the mole and brought the situation under control.

When the Second Madam was surrounded by Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling with their men, her eyes were filled with despair and resentment.

"Don't be so smug! Even if I fall, you won't have an easy time!" the second wife shouted hoarsely.

Su Jinxiu looked at her coldly and said, "You have committed such a crime, yet you show no remorse."

At Xiao Ling's command, the guards took the Second Madam away.

The Marquis's mansion breathed a sigh of relief after the traitor was exposed, but Su Jinxiu knew that this was only the beginning and the enemy would not give up easily.

In order to thoroughly investigate the Second Madam's accomplices in the Marquis's mansion, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling dared not slacken their efforts in the slightest. They conducted a thorough investigation of the people in the Marquis's mansion, interrogating everyone who might be connected with the Second Madam.

During this process, Su Jinxiu noticed some details she hadn't seen before. Several maids and servants appeared flustered and spoke evasively when questioned.

"It seems there are still some who slipped through the net," Su Jinxiu thought to herself.

She and Xiao Ling intensified their interrogation, finally exposing those with ulterior motives.

At the same time, Su Jinxiu was also thinking about how to extract more useful information from the Second Madam. She decided to go to the prison to interrogate the Second Madam herself.

“You have no way out now. If you confess honestly, you might still be spared,” Su Jinxiu said.

The second wife snorted coldly: "Don't even dream about it, I won't say anything."

Su Jinxiu was not discouraged. She carefully observed the Second Madam's expressions and reactions, gradually testing her psychological defenses.

After several days of maneuvering, the second wife finally softened her stance somewhat.

“If you can guarantee the safety of my family, I can tell you some things,” the second wife said.

Su Jinxiu agreed to her request, and only then did the Second Madam reveal some important information.

It turns out that the enemy had a secret force outside the Marquis's residence, preparing to launch a final attack.

Upon learning this news, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling immediately strengthened the defenses of the Marquis's residence. They trained soldiers, stockpiled supplies, and made thorough preparations.

However, at this critical moment, news detrimental to the Marquis's residence suddenly arrived at the court. Someone submitted a memorial accusing the Marquis's residence of secretly possessing weapons and plotting a rebellion.

"This is clearly a frame-up!" Xiao Ling said angrily.

Su Jinxiu calmly analyzed, "This must be a conspiracy by the enemy. They want to use the imperial court to get rid of us."

In order to deal with this crisis, Su Jinxiu decided to risk entering the palace and explain the situation to the emperor.

In the palace, Su Jinxiu encountered numerous difficulties. Some hostile forces deliberately prevented her from meeting the emperor and spread rumors behind her back to defame her reputation.

But Su Jinxiu did not give up. With her wisdom and courage, she finally met the emperor.

“Your Majesty, the Marquis’s mansion is utterly loyal and has absolutely no intention of rebelling. This is all a deliberate frame-up,” Su Jinxiu said, kneeling on the ground.

The emperor was silent for a moment, then said, "I will send people to investigate this matter. If the Marquis's family is truly innocent, I will give you justice."

After expressing her gratitude, Su Jinxiu left the palace, but her heart was filled with worry.

As they awaited the investigation results, the atmosphere at the Marquis's residence grew increasingly tense. Meanwhile, the enemy was secretly intensifying their operations, and an even greater storm was brewing...
