Wen Maixue was also looking at Chang Chi with a guarded expression on her face.

The daughters of Su Qingzhang used to be silent, but now each of them has become more outspoken and assertive.

First, Su Ziceng squandered the family fortune, settled all the Su Family’s outstanding wages to salvage some reputation for the notorious Su Family. And now, Chang Chi is here, groveling for sympathy.

"Brother Shang," Chang Chi lifted her face, whispering into Shang Yin’s ear, "Over the past month, I’ve come to realize that the Su Family is finished. I can only rely on you now."

Her voice sounded insincere to Yan Wuxu’s ears; Chang Chi had never spoken this way when she was with the Su Family before. Even when she was with Hang Yishao, she never acted like she did today; it must be all an act.

"Miss Wen, you can’t let this Su Family woman come in again, you’ve seen it, just one Su Ziceng has already been enough trouble," Yan Wuxu hinted, glancing at Pello and reminding Wen Maixue.

After hearing this, Wen Maixue also scrutinized Chang Chi critically, "Miss Su, you don’t mind me calling you this, right? I don’t want to meddle in your affairs with Shang Yin, but if you are harboring any ulterior motives by staying close to us, I won’t be lenient if I find out later."

Chang Chi nodded meekly and leaned closer to Shang Yin’s arm.

"Go upstairs with Mrs. Su first; you probably want to see him," Shang Yin and Pello had other matters to discuss, hence they sent Chang Chi upstairs first.

Chang Chi responded and loosened her hold around Shang Yin’s arm. As she passed by Pello, she was stopped, "Miss Chang, I’d also advise you not to play with fire, otherwise your mother and your ’foster father’ might not have a peaceful life." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Except for Shang Yin, the others present were suspicious of Chang Chi’s sudden overture, but she did not seem too uncomfortable and went upstairs with Yan Wuxu.

As she ascended the stairs, she glanced at the people downstairs from the corner of her eye.

Pello sat in the middle of the living room, with Shang Yin on his left, and Wen Maixue initially intended to sit close to Pello but was asked to sit on the right. Wen Maixue visibly displeased, sat on the sofa on the right side, appearing rather upset.

Chang Chi wanted to watch a little longer but was urged by Yan Wuxu in front, "Aren’t you going? Hurry up, or you won’t catch the last glimpse of Su Qingzhang."

Chang Chi suppressed her anger, watching Yan Wuxu walking ahead.

As they walked along the corridor, the butler who had just administered medicine to Su Qingzhang came out and greeted Chang Chi in a low voice: "Miss Chang, the master has gone to sleep."

Yan Wuxu didn’t want to talk much with Chang Chi and went back to his room.

Chang Chi hesitated; if she went downstairs now, she might be suspected, yet she couldn’t just stand at the top of the stairs to eavesdrop, so she walked around upstairs. Her bedroom had been converted into a storage room, clearly on Yan Wuxu’s suggestion.

Next was Chang Mei’s room, also messy and disorganized. The servants also acted according to their moods, and Pello didn’t seem to care much about the Su Family’s matters.

Chang Chi checked the time; she had idled upstairs for about an hour, and the discussions downstairs must be nearly done. Rather than wasting more time here, it would be better to cozy up to Shang Yin sooner and find out more about the situation.

With that thought, Chang Chi turned back. As she passed by Su Ziceng’s room, she noticed the door was slightly ajar. A thought struck Chang Chi, and she pushed the door and entered.

In the whole Su Family, apart from the rooms of Su Qingzhang and Yan Wuxu, Su Ziceng’s room had the least changes.

Aside from the empty wardrobe area, the decor and even the furniture placement had not changed at all. If she hadn’t known that Su Ziceng hadn’t returned for a long time, Chang Chi might have thought she still lived there.

What surprised her most was near the bed; aside from Su Ziceng’s original bedding, there were also men’s bedding, and traces of someone having slept in the bed.

On the dressing table, there were no women’s cosmetics, replaced instead by men’s toiletries.

Chang Chi opened the adjacent walk-in closet, inside were a few... of Pello’s clothes. The empty wardrobe had clothes hung only on one side, with half the space left empty.
