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

Luomei Garden.

"How is it? Is everything done?" Su Zhirou looked around, but Dong Rong was nowhere to be seen.

Dongxue shook her head, her face grave: "Madam, have we been tricked? I've searched everywhere, but I can't find the scar."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Wasn't it you who looked for Scarface? How could you not find him? Did you not even bother looking?"

Su Zhirou couldn't believe it at all, after all, she had spent a lot of money.

"Madam, I really don't have it!" Dongxue hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "I swear, I have always tried my best, I really couldn't find the scar."

"That scarred man must have run off with the money, afraid we'd come looking for him. It's all my fault for being so negligent; please punish me, Madam!"

As Dongxue spoke, she knelt on the ground and hurriedly kowtowed.

"What nonsense are you talking about? That's two thousand taels of silver, and you think it's gone just because you said it was an oversight?"

Su Zhirou was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She didn't expect Dongxue to be so useless that she couldn't even handle such a small matter.

"Madam, didn't you say we absolutely couldn't alarm the master? That's why I resorted to unorthodox methods. Now that trouble has arisen, I didn't want this to happen. Please, Madam, understand!"

Dongxue knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, extremely devout.

No matter what she did, Su Zhirou couldn't swallow her anger. That was two thousand taels of silver; how could a few heads possibly make up for it?

"You bitch!"

Su Zhirou kicked Dongxue in the chest, her eyes filled with anger: "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have entrusted such an important task to you. You're truly hopeless!"

"If you had even a fraction of Dong Rong's abilities, I wouldn't be in such a miserable state in this manor!"

For some reason, the maids around Su Yingxue were much more capable than her.

Not only her personal maid, but also all the servants in the entire Chaoyang Garden were loyal to Su Yingxue. The entire courtyard was surrounded like an iron barrel, and she tried several times to send people in, but all her attempts ended in disappointment.

No matter how much she gave, the other party remained unmoved, as if they had absolutely no interest in the money.

"Madam, please calm down. It's all my fault. Please calm down, don't get upset and harm your health!"

Dongxue kept kowtowing on the ground. Su Zhirou quickly calmed down and reached out to help Dongxue up.

"Dongxue, I'm sorry. I was just so worried about Dongrong. I didn't mean to target you. Please don't take what I said to heart, okay?"

Su Zhi softened her tone, completely different from her previous one.

Dongxue is her only capable maidservant now. If she loses even Dongxue, she will be truly isolated and helpless in the Duke's mansion.

If that bitch Su Yingxue takes advantage of this, it would be terrible.

Dongxue hadn't expected his daughter's attitude to change so quickly. He paused for a moment, then nodded gently: "Don't worry, Madam. I understand. I won't hold a grudge against you. I will be your servant for life."

Hearing this, Su Zhirou finally softened her expression. Still uneasy, she gritted her teeth and spoke:

"Now that I have legs, and I have an acquaintance I know, I'll prepare a horse and go there. Perhaps he can help me get this done."

Dongxue responded, "It's Madam!"

On the other side, Xie Huaiyun had just returned when she received an invitation from Su Yingxue.

"Young Master, our Lady truly wishes you to dine with us." Qiu Ye looked at Xie Huaiyun with anticipation in her eyes.

They acted quite convincingly.

Xie Huaiyun took a step forward, genuinely wanting to have dinner with Su Yingxue, since she hadn't seen him much lately and was missing him terribly.

But thinking about the start of the plan, he deliberately put on a stern face and said, "This young master is busy, don't bother me unless it's important."

With that, the man turned and went into the room without a second thought.

Qiu Ye pleaded with a mournful face, "Young Master, this is the ninety-ninth time I've come to invite you. Why don't you go see my mistress? My mistress really misses you..."

Rong Jing was quite forceful, his tone filled with impatience: "Alright, the young master said he won't see you, and that's final. Your wife is out of favor, yet you still have the nerve to cry here? Get out of here!"

Rong Jing chased Qiu Ye away. Qiu Ye looked miserable, but quickly slipped a note to Rong Jing.

Seeing that no one was around, Rong Jing quickly put the note into his hand.

His face still looked extremely ugly.

After sending Su Zhirou away, Rong Jing went inside and handed the note to Xie Huaiyun: "Your Highness, this is from Qiu Ye. Please take a look, is there anything important?"

Xie Huaiyun immediately took the note, and her expression became even more serious when she saw its contents.

"Your Highness, is there something urgent?" Rong Jing looked at his young master with a worried expression.

Logically speaking, the two shouldn't have been exchanging notes so recently, given that the show hasn't been running for very long. This suggests something serious might be going on.

Xie Huaiyun's previously serious expression suddenly softened, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips:

She said... she missed me.

Xie Huaiyun's lips curved into a faint smile, her smile was incredibly radiant.

Rong Jing's lips twitched. He hadn't expected this outcome. What kind of important matter was this? What time is it? They're still talking about love.

"Your Highness, what are your plans?"

Seeing Xie Huaiyun's distracted look, Rong Jing was also at a loss.

He didn't know if his young master would fall ill and suddenly barge into Su Yingxue's courtyard.

He was just a lowly subordinate; how could he possibly have any authority over his own heir?

"It's okay, I'll go out later tonight."

After Xie Huaiyun finished speaking, she turned around, carefully placed the small note in an exquisite wooden box, and then carefully locked it.

Xie Huaixuan quickly received Su Zhirou's signal and immediately appeared at the street corner.

Upon seeing that familiar figure, Su Zhirou immediately instructed Dongxue, who was standing nearby, "I'll be right back. You wait here."

"yes!"

Dongxue also saw a burly figure, but did not see the face, and only nodded obediently in response.

Su Zhirou hurried forward, and the two reached a quiet corner on the street before Xie Huaixuan spoke:

"What do you want from me?"

Xie Huaixuan wanted to scold Su Zhirou, but he didn't dare to say it.

After all, Su Zhirou has a bad temper, and now is the time to take advantage of her, so we can't let this opportunity slip away.

We still have to coax her.

"Dong Rong has been imprisoned by that vile woman and is scheduled to be executed soon. Do you have any way to get her out?"

Xie Huaixuan frowned and said unhappily, "She was just a lowly servant girl; if she's dead, she's dead. Why make such a fuss?"

"You don't know? Dong Rong knows everything about us. If she tells that bitch, do you think we'll survive?"

Su Zhirou's words made Xie Huaixuan hesitate for a moment: "Alright, leave this matter to me, you don't need to worry about it."

Seeing that Xie Huaixuan had agreed to the matter, Su Zhirou finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Xuan, you're amazing. You have no idea how hard it is to get through life without you."

As she spoke, she grabbed Xie Huaixuan's arm and shook it gently, displaying the demeanor of a young girl once again.

Xie Huaixuan had no time for flirting with her; his expression was grim. "The most important thing right now is for you to push our plan forward as soon as possible. I can't hold out with the Crown Prince for much longer. We only have two days left. If we can't finish this in time, I'm afraid we'll both be punished by the Crown Prince."

Su Zhirou knew she was in the wrong, but she still sighed, thinking about the unusual behavior of the two of them.

"You don't know, the reason their relationship improved was because of an exchange of benefits. Su Yingxue also knew about your older brother's inability and used it to threaten him. That's how the two of them reached some kind of consensus."

"But I still don't know what that bitch wants."

"If she truly loves you, she should consciously distance herself from him. But I've noticed that she's been sending people to invite the young master to her room every day lately; her intentions are quite obvious."
