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

Dong Rong lay on the ground, barely alive, with many wounds on her body, clearly indicating that she had been tortured.

Su Zhirou was surprised that these people were so bold, not even putting his people in their eyes.

"Who gave you permission to use torture? Don't you know these are my men?"

This was his dowry maid; beating her like this is no different from slapping him in the face.

"My lord, this is all an order from above. The young master said that if this man doesn't confess, he should be beaten to death. I'm just following orders, please forgive me..."

The jailer probably guessed Su Zhirou's identity, but it was a matter between the two of them, and he, as an outsider, had no right to interfere. After all, they were precious and noble, and even if they were wrong, no one dared to say anything.

Dongxue immediately spoke up: "It must be the Second Madam stirring things up."

Su Zhirou also realized what was happening and instructed the yamen runner beside her, "Go and fetch a doctor."

"My lord, there's no precedent for this among the prison guards. If I were to call a doctor for her, I fear I would be punished by my superiors. Please, my lord, spare my life."

The jailer hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded sincerely.

He was just a lowly jailer, and he knew all too well that the man in front of him could crush him as easily as crushing an ant.

However, there are rules that cannot be broken casually, otherwise he will not have a good ending.

"Madam, is that you, Madam?"

Hearing the noise, Dong Rong, who was in prison, spoke in a hoarse and unpleasant voice, her tone filled with hope and expectation.

"it's me."

Su Zhirou stepped forward, squeezed out a tear, and looked at the person in front of her with a hoarse voice.

Seeing Su Zhirou approach, Dong Rongxin finally felt relieved.

It seems that the lady has no intention of abandoning her, which is excellent, and all her hard work will not have been in vain.

"You've suffered. Don't worry, as long as you're alright, I will definitely rescue you."

Dong Rong smiled faintly, her eyes shining as she looked at Su Zhirou: "Don't worry, Madam, I will hold on. I will never let anyone with ill intentions harm you. I will serve you for the rest of my life. Madam, please don't be sad for me, please take good care of yourself."

"Since I am away for the time being, let Dongxue serve you in my place, Madam."

Dongrong turned to look at Dongxue beside her, with a hint of entrustment: "Dongxue, you and I are both Madam's dowry maids. Now that I'm not here, Madam is in your care. You must take good care of Madam, especially her emotions, and make sure she doesn't harm her health, understand?"

Dongxue hadn't expected that Dongrong would still treat her like a servant at this moment. But seeing Su Zhirou standing there, moved, she didn't say anything more and just nodded slightly in agreement.

Now that she has offended the second wife and killed someone, she is bound to suffer greatly, and it is unknown whether she will survive.

It would be best if she died in prison, so that she could become a first-class maid in Luomei Courtyard, and then Su Zhirou would not dare to look down on her.

"Madam, the prison is filled with yin energy. You should go back quickly. I'm fine. Please take care, Madam!" Dongrong urged, her face full of concern.

With a touch of emotion on her face, Su Zhirou spoke again: "Don't worry, I will definitely get you out. You can wait here in prison for less than three days!"

Dong Rong nodded heavily, finally regaining some of his strength.

His eyes were fixed on Su Zhirou, filled with anticipation.

If they can get through this, their relationship will only grow stronger.

Prince Rui's Mansion.

"Where is the Princess Consort? Why isn't she at the residence?" Prince Rui's face was grim.

Every time Prince Rui returned, he would not see his young wife. His face was extremely ugly. He wondered what was wrong with Zhan Qinghe. She was often not at home. Every time she returned, her face was flushed and she seemed to be in a good mood.

He should have felt happy, after all, his lifelong wish was for Zhan Qinghe to be happy.

For some reason, Prince Rui felt something was wrong and couldn't feel happy. He even began to have doubts, since his little wife's heart was never with him, and he had always been bothered by this.

Even after many years of marriage, he could not erase the place that person held in her heart. This is why he and that person were at odds. After all, the hatred of having one's wife stolen is irreconcilable. Even in his heart, he did not want his woman to have someone else in her heart.

"Your Highness, the Princess Consort went out this afternoon, and we don't know where she went."

The maid answered truthfully, trembling with fear, for their prince was not someone to be trifled with. The slightest mistake could result in them being dragged out and fed to the fish.

"I don't know what you're good for! You don't even know where the Princess is? Go, quickly go and find the Princess for me!"

Prince Rui was hysterical, wishing he could kill everyone present, and his murderous aura was terrifying.

Having received the order, everyone prepared to step forward. But then they saw that blue figure slowly approaching.

Her steps were light and quick, and her pretty little face was full of smiles, clearly showing that she was extremely happy.

But when he saw that little face again, Prince Rui's face was still covered with frost, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

When Zhan Qinghe saw Prince Rui, the smile on her face faded, replaced by her usual coldness and solemnity.

Prince Rui was amused by her behavior.

What's wrong? Is he some kind of annoying person? Why do I always give him a cold shoulder when I see him?

Over the years, he has cherished her in his heart and held her in his hands, never mistreating her. Can't he earn a smile from her in return?

Prince Rui grew increasingly angry, wishing he could punish the arrogant little woman before him on the spot. However, he thought of the little woman crying uncontrollably on the bed, and thus suppressed his rage.

"Qinghe, where did you go just now?"

He stepped forward and took Zhan Qinghe's hand.

Zhan Qinghe tried to break free, but found it impossible, and was forced to meet the man's gaze.

"I didn't go anywhere, I just went out for a stroll. Your Highness is so busy with state affairs, are you saying I'm not allowed to go out?"

"What are you talking about? When did I ever forbid you from leaving?"

Prince Rui stepped forward and pulled Zhan Qinghe close, his voice gentle: "I was just concerned about you, why are you so angry?"

Zhan Qinghe realized she had overreacted and softened her expression, looking at Prince Rui: "Your Highness, I am tired, so I will not keep you company any longer."

After she finished speaking, she turned and went back to her room, her back view revealing a hint of determination.

Prince Rui's gaze shifted repeatedly as he looked at her, then he instructed Ji Er, who was standing beside him, "Go and find out where the Princess Consort has gone."

"yes!"

Aunt Feng quickly raised the money and gave it to Su Zhirou.

Su Zhirou was overjoyed to receive the silver and then sought out the broker who had previously handled the matter.

"Are you sure 2000 taels of silver can bring the person out safely?" Su Zhirou looked at the person in front of her with slight doubt.

He was dressed in rags and didn't look like a capable person. How could he have rescued someone right under Su Yingxue's nose?

The man's eyes widened when he saw the silver in Su Zhirou's hand. He hurriedly explained, "Madam, you can inquire about Scarface's abilities around here. As long as you have enough silver, I can get anything done for you!"

Su Zhirou didn't speak, but glanced at Dongxue beside her. Dongxue nodded: "Madam, this is indeed the most powerful person in this area. I've been investigating for a long time."

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you."

Although she felt the pinch, Su Zhirou still gave Scarface 2000 taels of silver.

Scarface hurriedly stuffed the silver into his pocket and bowed to Su Zhirou, saying, "Madam, rest assured, I will certainly not fail your trust!"
