Just like in her past life, when she chose to die together with her enemies, was it because she couldn't bear to survive?
No.
It was because she didn't want to follow the path others had laid for her.
Now it was the same. The enemy had set up such a trap, and she suspected there were more moves waiting for them. So what she was doing now was breaking the game with force, to see what the other party could do next.
Yan Junchu knew that Su Xinyi used to act as she pleased, but this freedom was based on her ability to control the situation, because her confidence was enough to support her.
But it might not be the same now. However, since she had the courage to break the game, he would naturally cover for her.
Moreover, he knew that Su Xinyi had left out a point: Wu Daohong's backer was Liang Ju, and Liang Ju's sister-in-law was married to Li Muyan. So she probably suspected that Noble Consort Li was involved.
