My husband faked his death so I could remarry, but I got involved with my crazy brother and can'

"Hehe, Mother really knows how to curse people. I've disappointed you. The young master's attitude towards me has become much more friendly now. I believe it won't be long before I conceive the young master, and then you won't have to worry about me anymore."

Upon hearing this, Madam Qian's expression changed slightly.

Have Su Zhirou and Xie Huaiyun gotten along better?

When is it okay?

Or... is Su Zhirou lying?

But if it's a lie, how come there's not a single clue?

Instead, he looked smug and triumphant.

If that's the case, what should I do with my daughter?

Seeing Qian's expression change, Aunt Feng smiled faintly and said, "Madam, no matter what, my daughter is the rightful Crown Prince's wife, the Crown Prince's legal wife. No matter what, the eldest young lady can't surpass our Zhirou."

"I know you are unwilling, Madam, but the two children's status is what it is now. As mothers, we should worry less, lest the young master find out and say that the daughters of our Marquis's mansion are unruly. Don't you think so?"

Aunt Feng's words, seemingly meant to comfort, were actually laced with a strong sense of boasting.

She simply enjoyed seeing Qian Shi looking so distraught and exhausted.

Just looking at it makes me feel good.

"Oh? I had no idea. It was Consort Feng who decided who the young master liked?"

Su Yingxue's voice rang out, filled with sarcasm.

Upon seeing her daughter, Madam Qian's eyes lit up. "My dear daughter, why are you back?"

We met a few times a few days ago, but these past few days, I don't know if it's because Su Yingxue is too busy, we've met less often.

There was nothing much going on at the Qian family mansion.

Are you going to visit the Marquis of Anyang's residence?

After all, there was nothing in the mansion that she would miss.

As a mother, she didn't dare go to the Earl's residence, for fear of disturbing her daughter.

After all, Su Yingxue's status is now seen as awkward by outsiders.

As her mother, she didn't want to cause her any trouble.

"Mother, I just missed you. What, isn't Mother welcoming me?"

The mother and daughter held hands, their faces beaming with smiles.

"Of course you're welcome. Your mother wishes she could see you every day."

Mrs. Qian glanced at her daughter and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she hadn't lost weight.

It seems that not everything Su Zhirou said was true.

Her own daughter looked radiant, showing no sign of being neglected.

"Why is my sister here? Instead of staying at home, she's running around. If she angers the young master, our relationship will likely become even colder in the future."

Su Zhirou's voice carried a hint of smugness.

She was aware that the two of them had been sleeping in separate rooms for the past few days.

Not to mention, Xie Huaiyun now sends people to deliver tonics to her from time to time.

Although they were just insignificant little things, they were Xie Huaiyun's thoughtful gesture.

Using these things, Su Zhirou naturally brought her closer to the prince.

Although they don't meet, it doesn't stop the prince from caring about her.

Ultimately, it's because she's the legal wife.

Compared to Su Yingxue, his treatment was many times better.

Su Zhirou felt increasingly smug the more she thought about it.

Su Yingxue scoffed, "My sister is being far too nosy. When did it become your place to interfere in my relationship with the young master?"

"It was agreed that it would be a dual inheritance. Although you are nominally the Crown Prince's wife, the Crown Prince previously said that I am the most important person in his family. Sister, please don't forget that."

"When did the young master say that?" Su Zhirou looked blank. How come she didn't know about this?

Wasn't she the Crown Princess whom he married through the proper rites and rituals?

Why should I be subservient to this despicable person?!

"My sister prides herself on her intelligence; looking at the places where we live, can't she guess what's going on?"

Su Yingxue's lips curled into a clear mocking smile: "To be honest, the courtyard my sister lives in now looks more like a concubine's residence than a prince's wife's..."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhirou's face instantly turned green.

She never expected Su Yingxue to humiliate her with something like this.

After all, this matter was originally a thorn in her side.

Even though she had met Xie Huaiyun many times, and each time she wanted to say it out loud, she simply didn't dare.

After all, if you ask about this kind of thing, no matter what the other person says, you'll still lose face.

She is called the Crown Prince's wife, but in reality, the Crown Prince treats her as a concubine.

This realization made her face burn instantly.

The way he looked at Su Yingxue changed again and again.

Aunt Feng naturally noticed her daughter's change and hurriedly comforted her, "My dear daughter, no matter what, you are still the Crown Prince's consort. Don't take this kind of thing to heart."

"Your identity is beyond question; these are merely external possessions, nothing to worry about."

These words made Su Zhirou even more heartbroken.

How could she not care about something as personal as this?

What do external possessions matter?

The Duke's mansion has no shortage of material possessions.

If she doesn't even get the things she doesn't need, does that mean, as Su Yingxue said, she doesn't take her seriously at all?

Recalling Xie Huaiyun's previous attitude towards her, Su Zhirou's face turned very ugly.

"Alright, Aunt Feng, a man's heart is where his money is. Haven't you known this perfectly well all these years?"

"You've been in charge of the household affairs for many years; surely you understand such a simple principle?"

Aunt Feng choked.

She wasn't unaware.

But he simply didn't want to bring this up.

After all, Su Zhirou and Xie Huaiyun's relationship was indeed just so-so.

The situation has finally eased up, and if something goes wrong again because of these material possessions...

To be honest, it's really not worth it.

Seeing that Aunt Feng remained silent, Su Zhirou understood even more.

Aunt Tian, ​​having recovered her composure, added, "Yes, it seems the young master doesn't like the second young lady at all. Aunt Feng, you've schemed for so many years and enjoyed his favor for so long, you probably never considered that your own daughter is completely out of favor, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Feng's face turned ugly: "What nonsense are you spouting, you vile woman? When has my daughter ever been out of favor?! My daughter is extremely favored! Especially favored!"

Seeing Aunt Feng's exasperated expression, Su Yingxue's smile widened even more: "Aunt, don't be so hasty. You can't win favor in this kind of situation by acting rashly. Everyone knows that my sister is out of favor. Do you think you can twist the truth with your loud voice?!"

Aunt Feng's face was grim.

She did catch a cold recently, and her voice was a little hoarse.

But why is my voice hoarse?

What she is most proud of is her soft, sweet voice.

natural.

Marquis Shunyang was also very receptive to this approach.

"What's going on?"

When the Marquis of Shunyang saw that the courtyard was crowded with a large number of people, his voice was cold and stern.

He learned from the gatekeeper that his two daughters had returned home, so he rushed over immediately.

I never expected to see them arguing so fiercely here.

What kind of system?

Su Zhirou's eyes lit up when she saw the Marquis of Shunyang. She hurriedly went to greet him, her voice filled with deep grievance: "Father, my sister bullied me and my aunt! Waaah, Father, you must stand up for me and my aunt! Father..."
