Two sticks of incense later, Aunt Qiu was escorted by Su Hongqi's men to the East Hall of the main courtyard.
Her face showed no sign of defeat or anger, even as she was escorted in. Her lips curled into a smile.
That smile was extremely eerie.
The Duchess felt her scalp tingle, angrily gritting her teeth and pointing at her, "It's you? You wretch, I suspected your motives when you first came to the Su Family. I never thought you'd truly intend to harm the Duke. Have Su Yu release the Duke immediately!"
Duke Su's forehead veins throbbed, eyes furious, "Wicked woman, I have no enmity with you, why do you want to harm me?"
A knife was held against her neck, yet Aunt Qiu showed no panic, "I had no choice. Someone couldn't stand to see you live too comfortably. I'm just taking money to solve other's problems."
Upon hearing there was someone behind her, the Duchess's face sank immediately. She quickly stepped forward and slapped Aunt Qiu hard on the face twice, "Wicked woman!"
