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

Suppressing her displeasure, Lady Wei looked at her with a stern gaze: "I can give you the keys to this pair of tokens, but if you can't manage the Duke's mansion properly, I don't mind taking back your stewardship!"

In this way, Weishi could be said to have used both kindness and severity.

After experiencing immense joy, Su Zhirou also felt a sense of urgency.

In any case, she had learned some housekeeping skills.

Although she had previously managed some small businesses, she believed that as long as she put in the effort, she could definitely solve the problem!

The power to manage the household is the most important power in the inner quarters.

That idiot Su Yingxue didn't even try to fight back.

Overwhelmed with joy, her gaze softened as she looked at Su Yingxue.

Wei gave the key to Su Zhirou and then waved for the two of them to leave.

"Sister, this is the key to the card, thank you for being so kind." Su Zhirou was beaming, and if she had a tail, she would have loved to wag it up.

Looking at her like this, Su Yingxue said earnestly, "With your abilities, little sister, you will surely be able to manage the entire Duke's mansion in an orderly manner. In the future, we will rely on you, little sister."

Of course, all of this is contingent on Su Zhirou being sensible.

If she is immature, she doesn't mind teaching her how to behave.

Su Zhirou thought she was backing down, and her eyes gleamed with arrogance.

So this is what it's like to look down on others...

"Madam, why didn't you take the key to the game when you had such a good opportunity?"

Back at Chaoyang Garden, Xia Zhi still couldn't understand why Su Yingxue was acting this way.

However, on the Spring Equinox, he was overjoyed to learn that Su Yingxue had not asked for the house key.

Unexpectedly, Su Yingxue may have changed, but she is still weak inside.

If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have been afraid.

"What do you know? This is the Second Madam's decision. What are you doing, a servant, interrupting?" Chunfen said, pouring Su Yingxue a cup of tea.

Su Yingxue glanced at her and said indifferently, "You can go down now."

Spring Equinox's smile froze, and he bowed to take his leave.

"I don't want to be in charge of the household because the key is useless."

"But if we have that thing, we'll control everything in the Duke's mansion, from food and clothing to housing and transportation. Even the servants will have to give us some respect. You've only just married into the family, and you had a grudge against the heir apparent. What will you do in the future...?"

As Xia Zhi spoke, her eyes instantly reddened.

The thought of her wife suffering in the future made her feel terrible.

Su Yingxue smiled reassuringly, "Do you think your wife needs these external things to maintain her status?"

Xia Zhi was taken aback, then shook her head: "Of course Madam doesn't need it, but..."

Those people are just opportunists. Now that the power of housekeeping has fallen into the hands of the First Madam, she will definitely make things difficult for them.

Clearly... her wife is the legitimate daughter and should be the true Crown Prince's consort.

But how did it all come to this...?

"There's nothing wrong with that. Instead of spending time managing the Duke's mansion, it's better to focus on the heir and repair the relationship."

"Go to the storeroom and get some things. Come back to your parents' home with me."

Su Yingxue smiled faintly: "It's time to go see Mother."

When her mother was mentioned, Su Yingxue felt a surge of guilt.

In my previous life, if I hadn't been blinded by that bitch, how could I have been so focused on avenging Xie Huaixuan, who had faked his death, that I neglected my own mother?

A lowly concubine dared to climb over her mother's head and act arrogantly.

But they ended up being slaughtered because of their own actions.

Back then, not only the entire Marquis's mansion, but even Madam Qian's maternal family was not spared.

Now that she has been reborn, she naturally wants to reclaim everything.

Those who harm them will not escape.

"Should we go and call the young master?" Xia Zhi asked with a worried expression.

Ultimately, a woman returning to her parents' home should be accompanied by her husband, but Su Yingxue not only had a grudge against the young master, but was also his sister-in-law.

If she were to return to her parents' home alone, what face would she have left?

"No need," Su Yingxue sighed. "He doesn't want to see me now, but there's plenty of time in the future."

Mu Cangyuan.

After Xie Huaiyun returned, she kept looking towards the door, but she still couldn't see that figure after a long time.

"Young Master, since you were avoiding her just now, the Second Madam probably won't be coming." Rong Jing instantly understood his master's thoughts.

If I had known this would happen, why did I run away in the first place?

Now everyone in the manor knows that the young master dislikes Su Yingxue, and Su Yingxue is not the type to fawn over someone who doesn't appreciate kindness, so she definitely won't come again.

At least not today.

"Today is the day she returns to her parents' home. How can she not come looking for me? What face does she have?" Xie Huaiyun frowned. "She values ​​her reputation the most. Even if she were taking me back to act, she would still come looking for me."

"Husband?"

A soft call came from the doorway, but because the voice was so low, the two of them didn't hear it clearly at first.

"See? They're here." Xie Huaiyun said with a hint of smugness.

He knew that woman wouldn't give up easily.

After all, in this situation, he is the most important one.

She's very concerned about her image, so she'll definitely come looking for me.

"Husband?"

There was another call at the door, and Xie Huaiyun's smile froze. The smile then shifted to Rong Jing's face: "Young Master, have you forgotten? You still have a wife."

"Judging from the second madam, she didn't intend to come looking for you. I reckon she's already on her way."

These words made Xie Huaiyun's face turn as black as ice.

"Do you want to die?"

Rong Jing's smile vanished instantly, and he began to tremble.

Ok.

He spoke the truth out of turn.

"My lord, may I return to my parents' home with you today? Today is my homecoming day." Su Zhirou's voice was still gentle, but she deliberately slowed down her tone, making it sound somewhat affected.

She had just heard that Xie Huaiyun had returned, so she immediately came to invite her.

Xie Huaiyun dislikes Su Yingxue, so she probably wouldn't dislike herself.

His previous actions must have been part of some deal he made with Su Yingxue.

After all, the two of them have never had a good relationship.

Although Xie Huaiyun had some genuine feelings for Su Yingxue, Su Yingxue's ungratefulness ultimately wore her down completely.

After all, men have a high status nowadays, and there are plenty of women who want to be with them. Since Su Yingxue doesn't know what's good for her, how could Xie Huaiyun be sincere?

This is simply not possible.

Xie Huaiyun's face darkened; she felt nauseous.

"roll!"

A single cold word extinguished the passion in Su Zhirou's heart.

She felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of water, and her body trembled with cold.

I never expected Xie Huaiyun to treat her like this.

But clearly... she was his lawfully wedded wife, wasn't she?

Why exactly?

Or did she do something to offend him?

Thinking of this possibility, hope ignited in Su Zhirou's eyes. "Husband, it was indeed my oversight. You are not yet fully recovered and it is not advisable for you to travel so long. Please forgive me. When I return, I will take good care of you and prepare your medicine."

Her response was a long silence.

Su Zhirou frowned.

He treated her coldly before, but now that they're husband and wife, he still treats her like this?

You truly don't know how good she is until you've experienced her flavor.

When she gets back, she'll definitely make him crave more.

Once we've had physical intimacy, let's see if he'll still be so cold towards me.
