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

"Second Madam!"

Rong Jing finally broke free and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the scene inside the room.

"The Crown Prince probably doesn't want to see you, so please leave. You've known him for many years, so you should know he's stubborn. If he doesn't want to see you, you won't get to."

Su Yingxue's lips twitched. This Xie Huaiyun really is...

"Alright, put the things down. If the young master wants to see me, then come and find me."

After saying that, Su Yingxue turned and left.

Su Zhirou's face turned ugly after hearing the news. She glared fiercely at Chunfen, who was kneeling on the ground.

"You little hussy, are you any good at all? If you're incompetent, then you might as well resign to your position as a pawn!"

"Who do you think you are? If I hadn't said all the nice things to you, would you have achieved what you have today?"

"Madam, I truly don't understand why Madam changed her mind so quickly... Madam, I..."

Dong Rong rushed in and whispered a few words in Su Zhirou's ear.

Su Zhirou's expression softened: "So it turns out the young master never even saw that bitch!"

"That's true. She had such a bad falling out with the young master before, so he must have been forced to give her some face. Now that she's living behind closed doors, she naturally doesn't need to put up with that bitch's attitude anymore."

"You mean this wretched woman has fallen out of favor? From now on, may I be the only master in this household?"

Su Zhirou's eyes lit up, and a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited within her.

"Yes, Madam, you know the relationship between the young master and the second wife. The second wife makes things difficult for the young master and opposes him in every way. If it weren't for the young master's magnanimity, the second wife might be gone long ago. In the end, you are the young master's rightful wife, the legitimate and proper wife of the young master."

Dong Rong's words delighted Su Zhirou. She looked at Chun Fen and said, "Go, continue the task I gave you before. Make sure you get that thing for that bitch!"

Her delicate face was contorted with rage, but she accidentally aggravated the injury on her face, wincing in pain, and her resentment towards Su Yingxue intensified.

If it weren't for that vile woman, how could she have failed to find a doctor?

That bitch just wants to torture herself.

As expected of a notorious wicked woman, she can't even be bothered to maintain the most basic dignity!

Unfortunately, she was completely helpless against her...

"yes!"

Upon receiving the order, Chunfen hurriedly returned to Chaoyang Garden.

Su Yingxue had already returned to her room when she saw Chunfen arrive. She said in a low voice, "Oh, you're back? Those who know you know you've been recuperating, but those who don't might think you're deliberately slacking off."

"Madam, I just went out for some fresh air. I heard that moving around is good for wound healing. Besides, I feel uncomfortable if I don't come to serve you for a day. That's why I specially made some ginseng soup for you."

As Chunfen spoke, she placed the ginseng soup she was holding on the table.

Su Yingxue glanced at her indifferently: "You're so thoughtful. Xia Zhi isn't this attentive. She's been back for so long and hasn't even brought me a cup of tea."

"Madam, I have failed in my duty. Please forgive me!" Xia Zhi hurriedly admitted her mistake.

Upon seeing this, Chunfen hurriedly stepped forward and stood in front of Xiazhi, saying, "Madam, please don't be angry. Come and have a bowl of ginseng soup."

Su Yingxue waved her hand: "You can go down now."

"Yes."

Summer solstice slunk away, while spring equinox was even more triumphant.

"You go down first too."

As Su Yingxue spoke, she picked up her bowl and took a sip. Upon seeing this, Chunfen smiled smugly.

She used a generous amount of this.

With just a small sip, she achieved her goal.

Soon, Su Yingxue reacted.

The family doctor was called in.

When Chunfen saw the red rash on Su Yingxue's face, she felt a little more at ease.

She completed the mission.

Su Zhirou will surely be very happy.

"The Second Madam has taken something that causes an allergic reaction. I will prescribe a prescription for her to take daily. She just needs to take good care of herself."

Xia Zhi looked distressed and said, "Thank you, doctor. Just give me the prescription."

The two turned and left the house, but Chunfen checked it again and again, seemingly quite satisfied with her masterpiece.

"boom--"

A teacup flew towards her and smashed hard on her forehead.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and the air was filled with the stench of blood. Blood smeared all over her face.

Spring Equinox let out a scream and collapsed to the ground.

"You scoundrel! How dare you laugh at me? Drag him out and beat him!"

Before Chunfen could recover, Qiuye immediately led her men to drag the person into the courtyard, whereupon a barrage of fists rained down upon them.

Spring Equinox was in so much pain that tears streamed down my face, but I didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy.

"Stop! I know I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me, Miss!"

She really didn't expect Su Yingxue to treat her like this.

In the past, although Su Yingxue had scolded and beaten them before, it had never been this serious.

Not to mention bleeding.

Even the number of times he was beaten during the Spring Equinox can be counted on one hand.

But only a few days later, Su Yingxue ordered her to be beaten several times.

What exactly is going on?

A deep unease rose in my heart at the Spring Equinox.

The arrogance and domineering attitude of the past is gone.

"Alright, bandage her up. Don't let her die, it's bad luck!"

Su Yingxue's cold voice came from inside the room, but it was clear that she was still angry.

Chunfen dared not struggle and obediently let Qiuye lead her back to the maid's room for bandaging.

Since she had already completed her mission, she naturally no longer dared to linger in front of Su Yingxue.

Soon it was time for Su Zhirou to leave the ancestral hall.

Ever since she learned that the red spots on Su Yingxue's face hadn't faded, Su Zhirou couldn't wait to go and mock her.

After all, she had done that kind of thing, and now that she finally had a chance, she naturally couldn't let it go.

"Let's go see the Second Madam. I heard she has a rash on her face. As her younger sister, I have to take a look."

Su Zhirou was overjoyed and tried to get up, but a sharp pain shot through her knee.

She knelt for several days, and her knees ached terribly. Although she would slack off at night, she still had to pretend during the day.

After all, this is the Duke's mansion, and there's no guarantee that the people sent by the Wei family aren't watching over it.

The Wei family already disliked her, and if she made a mistake even when being punished by kneeling, she feared she would never be able to turn things around.

It should be noted that the power to manage the household now rests in the hands of the Wei family.

As a daughter-in-law, she can't afford to let things down.

"Madam, be careful!"

Dongrong advised, "Madam, you should go back to your courtyard to rest and recuperate. Have the doctor treat your knee injury, and then do your makeup before going to the Second Madam's place. If the Old Madam catches you in this state, it won't be good."

"Yes, Madam, you should go back and rest for a while. What if you hurt your knee?" Dongxue advised.

Feeling the sharp pain in her knee, Su Zhirou hesitated for a moment before nodding gently, "Alright, let's go back to the courtyard to do our makeup first."

"She's finally had a moment like this, I can't miss it!"

From childhood to adulthood, Su Yingxue has always been glamorous and radiant.

She was the only one who could never see the light of day.

Now that she's married and finally outshone her, it's only natural that she should be thoroughly mocked.

Just thinking about it makes me happy.

Su Zhirou finished dressing as quickly as possible, but before she could mock Su Yingxue, news came from the old lady.

"The old lady wants you to come over, and I heard she also summoned the second wife," Dong Rong said.

Su Zhirou didn't have a good impression of Wei Shi. After all, she didn't care for a mother-in-law who made her daughter-in-law kneel in the ancestral hall on the first day of her marriage.

However, now that she has married into the family, she is bound to have to get along with Lady Wei.

Regardless, she still had to go, and she had to be respectful and humble.

When Su Yingxue arrived, she happened to see Su Zhirou looking radiant.
