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

The carriage slowly arrived at the Shunyang Marquis's residence.

Madam Qian had already been waiting outside the door with a group of maids and servants. When she saw Su Yingxue, her eyes lit up and she immediately came over to greet her.

"Xue'er!"

Su Yingxue got out of the car and saw that her mother's eyes were already red. Her eyes instantly turned red as well, and she stepped forward to hug Qian tightly.

It's so good to see my mother again.

Qian froze for a moment, then pulled Su Yingxue into her arms.

Her daughter had an eccentric personality and had never been so close to her before, let alone after falling in love with Xie Huaixuan and focusing all her attention on him.

Could it be that he has been wronged?

Upon realizing this possibility, Madam Qian's face instantly darkened: "My dear Xue'er, have you been wronged? Tell your mother quickly, and I will definitely stand up for you!"

A resolute, cold light flashed in Qian's eyes.

She usually has a good temper, but she only becomes so sharp when it comes to Su Yingxue.

"Enough! What kind of behavior is it for the mistress of the Marquis's mansion to cry and whine in the street?" The Marquis of Shunyang's face flashed with displeasure, and his gaze toward Su Yingxue was extremely cold.

Last time, his daughter made him lose face in front of everyone, and now she's a widow. What future does she have?

He specifically sent someone to investigate Xie Huaiyun's attitude towards her.

Xie Huaiyun must have been putting on a show for her that day, because after returning home, she never set foot in her courtyard again.

She has also incurred the enmity of the crown prince; such a daughter is of no value.

His youngest daughter, whom he had doted on since childhood, was different from her.

Su Zhirou is understanding and gentle, and as the proper heir apparent, she will become the legitimate mistress of the Duke's mansion in the future. This is the person he should try to please.

Who knows, if they have children in the future, they might even be selected for the imperial concubine selection, bringing glory to their family.

He had few children, only two daughters in total.

Although he had slept with countless concubines over the years, only Aunt Feng was truly worthy of his attention.

Although she is only a daughter, she is truly precious.

Not to mention, Aunt Feng was originally a daughter of an official family, but her family fell into decline, which gave him the opportunity to take advantage of her.

Ultimately, it's the younger daughter's noble lineage that matters.

Unlike this so-called eldest daughter, who has the blood of a lowly merchant.

Not to mention his eccentric temper, his vindictive nature, and his inherent arrogance.

It's really hard to feel happy about.

"Xue'er has been wronged, and as her mother, I must seek justice for her!" Madam Qian said unhappily, her usual timidity and gentleness gone.

"What is this sister doing? Does she want to make an enemy of the young master? The young master only reluctantly accepted her as a descendant because they are sisters. Now that she is a widow, her life is naturally more difficult. Wasn't this agreed upon by you in the first place? Why bring it up now to make things difficult for the Marquis?" Aunt Feng provoked.

Marquis Shunyang frowned deeply: "Feng'er is right. She was destined to be a widow, so it's inevitable that she'll suffer some grievances. Who will she be crying and wailing for?"

His face showed no pity for his daughter, only deep disgust.

If Su Yingxue hadn't known that the blood flowing in her veins was indeed his, she would have thought she was adopted.

Otherwise, how could a father treat his own daughter like this?

"Aunt Feng, you lowly servant, do you want to be sold off? My mother doesn't have a concubine as despicable as you!"

Su Yingxue's voice was filled with displeasure, and Aunt Feng's face instantly turned pale. She hurriedly hid behind Marquis Shunyang, "Your Highness..."

Marquis Shunyang said impatiently, "Alright, you've come all this way, do you intend to turn the entire Marquis's residence upside down? Don't cause any more trouble!"

"Father, didn't you see? It was Concubine Feng who stirred up trouble. Mother is the mistress of the house. You don't know how to respect her, yet you let a concubine act arrogantly towards her. Isn't this deliberately causing chaos in the Marquis's mansion?"

"Father, do you know? You're the laughingstock of the entire capital now. Everyone says you favor your concubine over your wife, clinging to that lowly concubine! It's no different from a dog seeing shit."

"you!"

The Marquis of Shunyang was so angry that he wanted to raise his hand to hit her, but Madam Qian stopped him: "You dare to hit my daughter and see what happens!"

"What are you doing? Do you have any semblance of being the mistress of the house?!" Marquis Shunyang never expected that the usually obedient Madam Qian would defy him in the street like this, and his face instantly darkened.

"If you act like a father, then I act like a wife! They are both your daughters. I don't care if you've favored one over the other all these years, but if you hit Xue'er in front of me, I'll eat you alive!"

Qian raised his voice, attracting the attention of many people.

Aunt Feng hurriedly spoke up, "Sister...Madam, please don't be angry with the Marquis. After all, you are husband and wife. How can you lose face in front of outsiders? The Marquis certainly didn't mean it that way..."

"What does that mean? He hit me? Is Aunt Feng blind?" Su Yingxue's face was full of gloom.

If given a choice, who would want a father like that?

"You! You have no respect for your elders!" Marquis Shunyang was even angrier.

However, many people watched but did not actually make a move; they were just so angry that their veins bulged.

No matter what, Su Yingxue is a member of the Duke's Mansion. If we beat her in the street, it would be difficult to explain to the Duke's Mansion.

He did act impulsively just now.

Judging from Su Yingxue's posture, if he hit her, she would probably skin him alive.

"Father, Mother, what's wrong?"

A familiar, gentle voice rang out. Aunt Feng recognized her daughter and her eyes lit up. She immediately rushed over.

Marquis Shunyang's expression also softened.

It was as if the person from just now wasn't him at all.

"Rou'er, you're finally back! How did it go? Did you suffer any mistreatment at the Duke's mansion?" Aunt Feng asked affectionately, pulling her daughter aside.

This was her hope.

Of course, I also hope she can bring honor to the country.

As long as she wins the prince's heart, her position will be unshakeable.

It can even go to a higher level.

"Of course not."

How could Su Zhirou dare to mention that she had been forced to kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment?

He casually mentioned his achievement of the day: "My mother also gave me the key to the household."

Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Shunyang's gaze softened even more as he looked at Su Zhirou.

"Oh my, she's truly my daughter! With this key to the household, you won't have to suffer any more mistreatment in the Duke's mansion!" Aunt Feng exclaimed excitedly.

She herself was superior to this wretched woman's mother in the Marquis's mansion, and her own daughter was superior to this wretched woman in the Duke's mansion.

What does it matter how noble this mother and daughter are?

Weren't we still trampled under their feet?

Marquis Shunyang stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction: "You are indeed my daughter. I have not spoiled you in vain."

He paused, then looked at the carriage not far away. "Where's the son-in-law?"
