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

Spring Equinox greeted her with a smile, completely devoid of her previous arrogance.

Qiu Ye didn't hide anything: "What else can we do? Isn't it just to apologize to the young master? Our lady has finally come to her senses. She said before that she was being unreasonable and went against the young master. Now that we're family, there's no reason for us to hold grudges."

"What?! You're saying the Second Madam went to apologize to the Young Master?!"

The vernal equinox was astonishing.

If that's the case, how will their plan be implemented?

If she fails to complete the task, won't she be abandoned? Will she be a lowly servant who can never hold her head high for the rest of her life?

Thinking of this, her face grew even paler.

Qiu Ye feigned ignorance: "What are you doing? Don't we servants benefit from the reconciliation between the Madam and the Heir Apparent? We are now members of the Duke's mansion, and we can only act according to the Duke's wishes from now on. Why do you seem unhappy for our Madam?"

"Chunfen, you used to be the most capable person by the lady's side, what's wrong with you now? Are you siding with outsiders?" Qiuye's questioning voice rang out.

Spring Equinox snapped out of her daze and forced a smile: "How could that be? I was just shocked. Now that Madam has kept such an important matter from me, she has truly lost touch with me."

She sighed heavily, her gaze towards Qiuye softening slightly: "Sister Qiuye, you're quite favored by the Madam these days, so don't forget me in the future."

"You're exaggerating. We're all maids serving the madam. What's the difference? As long as we're loyal, the madam won't mistreat us."

"What my sister said is true..."

Rong Jing saw Su Yingxue leading a large group of people towards him from afar, and immediately swallowed nervously.

Did Su Yingxue not listen to what he said before?

They're all the Crown Prince's people now, why are they still going against him?

Now you've even brought so many people to see the Crown Prince make a fool of himself?

How can this be done?

Rong Jing's expression changed repeatedly. Just as he was about to warn others, Su Yingxue had already arrived at the door with her people.

"Rongjing, I've come to see the Crown Prince. This is the best doctor, and these are the gifts I've chosen for him as an apology. I was wrong in the past, and I've made up my mind to treat him well from now on and live a good life with him."

"I was indeed ungrateful in the past. Give me a chance, and I promise to satisfy the Crown Prince."

Su Yingxue's smile was flawless, and even the doctors and servants following behind her wore gentle smiles.

It certainly doesn't seem to have much offensive power.

Rong Jing knew Su Yingxue's reputation and the past grievances between Su Yingxue and his young master, so he naturally refused to believe it.

"What are you doing, Second Madam? We're all family, so there's no need for formalities. The Crown Prince's serious illness has already been treated by the imperial physicians, so there's no need for you to trouble yourself." Rong Jing remained composed.

Su Yingxue's smile remained unchanged: "Rong Jing, you should know the wealth of my Su family. Even the best doctors in the entire Beiming are from my Su family, let alone a mere imperial physician."

"I genuinely want to reconcile, and I genuinely want the Crown Prince to recover soon; there is no doubt about that."

"Or do you think past grudges are more important than the Crown Prince's life? Rong Jing, you should know that if this gets out, I have plenty of ways to make you pay the price..."

Su Yingxue used both kindness and force, and Rong Jing was somewhat unable to cope.

What she said does make some sense.

Nothing is more important than the young master's health.

But his son is not sick at all.

How could he refuse?

Meeting Su Yingxue's ambiguous smile, Rong Jing felt a chill run down his spine: "I will report this to the Crown Prince."

He said this, then turned and went into the house.

Xie Huaiyun, who was inside the room, naturally heard Su Yingxue's words clearly.

He sat by the window, lost in thought.

What exactly did she mean by that?

Is this a genuine attempt to reconcile with him, or just part of a scheme?

After all, her previous actions were quite different from what she is doing now.

He knew Su Yingxue's feelings for Xie Huaixuan, which was why he found it even harder to believe Su Yingxue's current change.

"Your Highness, the Second Madam has brought many gifts and a physician from the Su family with her, and she wishes to apologize to you."

"A messenger came to report that the hundreds of assassins who tried to kill you have withdrawn, the kill order has been lifted, even the hundred shops that were working against our shop have resumed normal business and stopped their malicious competition, and even people's opinion of you has improved..."

Rong Jing paused for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, it seems that the Second Madam genuinely wants to reconcile with you. Should we give her a chance?"

If the Second Madam could be with Xie Huaiyun, then he wouldn't have to be caught in the middle, torn between the two.

Although the Second Madam has a bad reputation, she is still much better than that so-called Crown Prince's Consort.

The Crown Princess is so affected and pretentious; she has no semblance of the demeanor of a matriarch.

On the day of their wedding, they were punished by being confined to the ancestral hall, and now everyone outside is mocking their Duke's mansion for marrying a concubine's daughter as the heir's wife.

If it weren't for the fact that the second wife was the legitimate daughter who inherited the family line, her reputation would probably be even worse.

Xie Huaiyun chuckled lightly: "Someone who hates me to the core has suddenly changed her mind. What do you think she's plotting? Could it be that she really wants to reconcile as she seems?"

Upon hearing this, Rong Jing froze.

Yes, before, the Second Madam couldn't wait to get rid of the young master, how could she be like this now?

Moreover, there were absolutely no events that triggered this before or after.

Besides marriage and raising an heir...

Is it really possible for a woman to change so quickly if she can be allowed to have two children?

Others might accept their fate, but Su Yingxue would never accept it!

"Now that the Second Madam is right outside the door, what are your plans, Your Highness?" Rong Jing dared not make a decision on his own.

Look at how his young master has regained his usual composure today.

Shouldn't we be able to defend against it?

"Return the gift, and also inform her that I am now out of danger."

"yes!"

Rong Jing accepted the order and relayed the words to Su Yingxue verbatim: "Second Madam, please return. Your previous actions cannot be forgiven with just a few gifts."

"No matter what, let the family doctor go in and treat me first. I'll show him my sincerity later."

As Su Yingxue spoke, she glanced at the family doctor beside her, when someone stopped Rong Jing and pushed the door open to enter.

"How can you be so rude, Second Madam? The Prince did not allow you to enter!" Rong Jing exclaimed in alarm and hurriedly stopped her.

The enemy outnumbered them and even the secret guards who usually protected the prince were nowhere to be found.

"When have I ever followed the rules?"

Su Yingxue kicked open the door first.

She had hoped to meet the man and win his favor, but the room was empty except for the swaying window.

Obviously.

He has already escaped through the window.
