Chapter 92 — Anger
Purple Streets of Chang'an · Page 4 of 4
Chen Sou laughed. "The Fourth Miss has a keen eye. I'll see to this at once!"
Before long, Matron Liu searched Liu Wan's room and found fifty taels of fine silver.
The Second Madam was most displeased. "Keep searching. We must drag out the person who bribed Liu Wan!"
That evening, Chen Lanxu brought Du An back.
Du An looked bedraggled when he saw Dou Yan, and kept protesting, "What does the Fourth Miss mean by this? Even if you mean to wipe us all out, you should at least give a fellow a reason."
Dou Yan laughed heartily. "Wipe you out, and still give you a reason?" Then she instructed Chen Yanzhou, "Hand him over to the Second Madam."
Du An was stunned. "You—you're not going to interrogate me?"
"If I interrogated you, would you talk?" Dou Yan said with contempt. "Besides, what difference does it make whether you talk or not? All that's needed is for the Second Madam to believe you are involved in this, and that Wang Shuying is involved. Whether you talk or not is of no importance!"
Du An was struck dumb.
Dou Yan returned to her room.
Suxin hurried after her. "Fourth Miss, a letter from the Fifth Master in the capital has arrived at the East Mansion."
If it was about Pang Kunbai's robbery, word should not have traveled so fast.
Dou Yan asked, "Do you know what it says?"
Suxin pressed her lips together and smiled, a teasing glint in her eyes as she looked at Dou Zhiwei. "The Fifth Master says that if the Dou and Wu families could be joined in marriage once more, nothing could be better. He also says the Wu family is of spotless lineage, proper scholars through and through, and that you would not suffer if you married into it."
