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

Su Yingxue pouted, her lips curling into deep displeasure: "He never wanted to marry me, and he made me heartbroken for so long, so of course he has to pay the price."

Xie Huaiyun chimed in, "Yes, it's my fault for not teaching my brother well. You can do whatever you want, I'll always be on your side."

He spoke with the air of an elder brother, completely serious.

Su Yingxue was amused by his appearance and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Your brother has not only let me down, but he has also let you down. He is now living in the Crown Prince's residence."

"What kind of place is the Crown Prince's residence? You should know. The Crown Prince is your political enemy. He's getting so close to the Crown Prince; I'm afraid they're plotting something."

"We can set aside our score for now, but you must figure out what he's thinking. Only then can you get out unscathed. Don't be soft-hearted just because he's your brother, understand?"

These words were filled with deep concern, sounding more like instructions to a husband than to a sister-in-law speaking to her brother.

Xie Huaiyun was stunned, standing there blankly, somewhat bewildered.

What exactly does she mean?

Seeing him in a daze, Su Yingxue raised her hand and stroked his large palm: "Since he has betrayed me, I don't need to remain chaste for him. Let's consummate our marriage before he comes back."

"What?"

Xie Huaiyun stared at the petite woman in front of her in even greater shock.

Did he hear wrong? She wants to consummate their marriage?

Su Yingxue held Xie Huaiyun's hand and pleaded:

"I know this request is sudden, but he's been playing me, how can I remain indifferent? Since he's pushed me into your hands, then I'm yours from now on."

"I know you're fine in that area, so you can sleep here tonight and we'll consummate our marriage."

Fearing Xie Huaiyun might not hear clearly, Su Yingxue emphasized it again.

"So you're only consummating your marriage with me for revenge? Just for revenge?"

Xie Huaiyun countered, saying that although the temptation was great, he still wanted to make her willing.

After all, once something like that happens, there's no going back.

He also couldn't accept his woman falling in love with someone else.

He will go crazy; he might even hurt her.

No, he absolutely will not allow that to happen.

At least until she likes herself.

"Of course not, it's because I like you."

Su Yingxue directly denied it: "Xie Huaiyun, we've known each other for so many years, do you think I'm the kind of woman who can't tell the difference? This is my whole life, how could I so easily use it to get revenge on someone who doesn't deserve it?"

Xie Huaiyun took a deep breath, never expecting the little woman in front of her to suddenly confess her feelings to her.

This was the first time he had ever heard such a moving voice.

Upon hearing these words, he felt an urge to immediately pounce on the woman in front of him and pin her to the ground.

But reason prevailed over desire; he couldn't, he couldn't.

Regardless, the woman in front of him was still caught up in his emotions.

Perhaps he had no idea what he was doing, or even what he was doing at all.

"Xie Huaiyun, what do you mean?"

Since Xie Huaiyun didn't reply for a long time, Su Yingxue spoke up, her eyes full of expectation as she stared at the man in front of her.

Since he has no problem in that area, my initiative should be able to win him over, right?

Thinking this, Su Yingxue leaned close to the man in front of her.

She was born delicate and frail, with an exceptionally soft and fragrant appearance.

The man jolted back as if electrocuted: "No, you can't!"

"What are you doing? I've already taken such the initiative, and you still don't want me? Do you even like me?"

Su Yingxue began to doubt whether her past life was just a figment of her imagination and that the man in front of her had never liked her at all.

If he really liked her, how could he reject her again and again? She was all dressed up like that, yet he still managed to push her away.

"I......."

Xie Huaiyun was taken aback, not expecting this question to be suddenly thrown at her.

He naturally liked it.

But if he hadn't died, how could he, as the elder brother, have done anything with Su Yingxue?

Even if he were willing, he was afraid that Su Yingxue would be condemned by everyone.

That feeling must have been unpleasant, and since he loved her, he absolutely couldn't let her suffer such humiliation.

"Go to sleep early, it's late."

The man turned and left without a backward glance. Su Yingxue was furious and threw the pillow away.

"Xie Huaiyun, once you leave this door, don't come back!"

He really didn't understand what this man wanted to do.

Don't you like her? Why don't you possess her? Why? Why, really?

Dong Rong returned early the next morning.

She was covered in wounds, but she had a smile on her face. Su Zhirou went up to her and saw Dong Rong crying uncontrollably.

"You're finally back. I went through so much trouble, but I'm relieved to see you back safe and sound."

Seeing the action, Su Zhirou thought of her 2000 taels of silver. That was 2000 taels! It was just like that, all of it was stolen by someone else.

"Thank you, Madam! Thank you, Madam!"

Dong Rong knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to Su Zhirou, her face full of gratitude.

If it weren't for Su Zhirou, I'm afraid I would have really died in that prison.

After this incident, she has decided to be completely devoted to her daughter.

After all, a master as good as Su Zhirou is rare in the world.

How many servants who take the blame can be released by their own masters by paying out of their own pockets?

"Alright, you can get up now."

Dongxue chimed in, "Sister Dongrong, Madam has spent a lot of money on you, begging and pleading with many people. You must treat Madam well when you come back!"

Dong Rong's eyes darkened slightly. She had been the one disciplining this little brat before, but she never expected that in just a few days, she would forget her place and start lecturing her.

No matter what, she was the one who had the most respect in front of Su Zhirou, and she absolutely could not lose to this little bitch.

"Dongxue, I've been asking you to take good care of Madam these past few days, have you done so? Why has Madam become so thin?"

Dong Rong took the initiative, her eyes filled with displeasure as she looked at Dong Xue.

He then looked at Su Zhirou with a hint of heartache: "Madam, it breaks my heart to see you like this. Madam, why aren't you eating properly?"

"I haven't been able to sleep at night because of you. Now that you're back, I can finally relax a bit."

"These are all your injuries. Please have a doctor take a look. Just tell me how much it cost."

After Dong Rong left, Su Zhirou realized how important Dong Rong was to her. After all, without Dong Rong in the courtyard, she felt like something was missing.

Dong Rong was indeed a skilled worker, managing her courtyard inside and out of the mansion in an orderly manner.

"Madam Xie!"

Dong Rong glanced at Dong Xue beside her with a smug look on her face, her expression full of pride.

See? No matter how much time has passed, she is still the lady's number one priority.

Dongxue was furious, but in the end she could only bow her head.

There was nothing they could do; that was how it was for servants. Whoever the mistress favored became half a master.

As it turned out, Dong Rong was still more favored than her.
