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

"Of course not."

Wei Shi looked at Su Zhirou with hostility: "What exactly happened? What did you do?"

"Mother-in-law, you know your daughter-in-law perfectly well. How could she possibly do such a thing?"

Su Zhirou hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Mother-in-law, please don't misunderstand your daughter-in-law because of rumors! Your daughter-in-law is loyal to the young master and would never do something so immoral!"

"That's not necessarily true, Mother-in-law. She said that whatever is rumored in the streets is true. She was being unreasonable with me just now, so we can't let her off easily now."

Su Yingxue continued, "I finally managed to bring Huaixuan back, but I never expected my sister to treat me like this, not even sparing my husband..."

As she spoke, she wiped away non-existent tears.

"I don't......"

Su Zhirou hurriedly tried to deny it, saying that even if it were true, she would never admit it.

She never expected that she would end up shooting herself in the foot.

He looked at Wei Shi with a grim expression.

Lady Wei spoke up in displeasure: "Neither of you gives me any peace of mind! This matter is based on mere rumors. Since that's the case, I hereby punish you both by confining you to your courtyards. You are not to step out without my permission!"

Now that things have come to this, Weishi has no other choice.

After all, it can't be definitively said that it was their fault in this kind of situation.

Rumors are just rumors unless there is solid evidence.

Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue smiled and turned to leave gracefully.

Su Zhirou watched her leave, furious, but had no choice but to agree.

I finally got out of confinement, but now I'm locked up again.

Upon hearing the rumors circulating, Xie Huaixuan hurriedly sought out Su Yingxue. "Wife, is what's going on in the streets true? Do you really love my elder brother? No wonder you've been so cold to me since I returned; so that's why..."

As he spoke, Xie Huaixuan's face was filled with deep sorrow.

His gaze toward Su Yingxue was filled with displeasure.

He looks exactly like a husband betrayed by his wife.

Su Yingxue found his appearance utterly ridiculous.

"You've heard this news? Do you believe it's true?"

Su Yingxue looked over, her expression indifferent.

Xie Huaixuan's expression hardened: "What do you mean? I'm the victim, am I not even allowed to feel wronged? Or do you think I shouldn't feel wronged at all? That I should just be manipulated by you?"

"Su Yingxue, how come I never realized you were this kind of person before?"

She was clearly in the wrong, so why does she seem completely indifferent?

"Have you heard another rumor circulating? That you and your sister have met secretly more than once, and the details are crystal clear."

Upon hearing this, Xie Huaixuan's expression changed drastically: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly be that kind of person?"

"Who on earth is spouting nonsense?!"

Xie Huaixuan's eyes were filled with anger, as if he had been provoked.

Su Yingxue simply looked at him calmly, her voice as usual: "You just said that the rumors circulating in the streets are true, and you're going to interrogate me. How come it's not a crime when it happens to you?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of guilt flashed in Xie Huaixuan's eyes. He quickly corrected himself, "My wife, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have listened to the rumors. They're all nonsense. My wife, please forgive me this time. I promise I'll never do it again!"

Xie Huaixuan looked at Su Yingxue, his eyes full of sincerity.

Su Yingxue sneered: "Alright, what time is it? Stop talking nonsense."

"This is your only chance. Catch the person who threw dirty water on me, and I will let this matter drop."

"Alright, alright, my wife, I'll go right away."

Xie Huaixuan immediately left the mansion, and Liu Ying quickly found out who the person was.

"It's the Crown Prince's consort..."

Upon hearing this, Xie Huaixuan's expression darkened: "Go, bring her out and tell her I have something to say to her."

"Yes."

Su Zhirou received the message quickly. Although she was somewhat reluctant, she still went to the agreed location.

Seeing Xie Huaixuan, she couldn't help but feel wronged: "You still remember to look for me? I thought you had forgotten about me."

Xie Huaixuan simply looked at her calmly. "The rumors you've been spreading?"

Su Zhirou was stunned. She hadn't expected that after such a long time apart, Xie Huaixuan would say such things to her as soon as they met.

She felt even more frustrated: "We finally meet, and this is what you tell me? Or are you questioning me because of her? Don't you care about me anymore?"

These past few days, Su Zhirou had been extremely repressed. Finally seeing the person in question, the pent-up anger in her heart erupted in an instant.

She looked at Xie Huaixuan, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes.

More than anything, I felt wronged.

He clearly said he would always be good to me, so what's wrong with him now?

He didn't treat himself well at all, and even questioned himself because of other women.

They don't care about themselves at all.

What's going on?

Su Zhirou looked at Xie Huaixuan, feeling more and more wronged, and her eyes instantly reddened.

"What are you talking about? I thought you understood me. I didn't expect you to say exactly the same thing as Liu Ying."

At this moment, Xie Huaixuan was still somewhat disappointed in Su Zhirou.

What time is it? Can't we put the bigger picture first?

If he fails to complete His Highness the Crown Prince's mission, he will not even be able to save his life.

"What do you mean by 'no two'?"

Su Zhirou's eyes were glistening with tears, making her look pitiful.

But now that things have come to this, Xie Huaixuan has lost his patience when he sees her face.

He used to like Su Zhirou because she was considerate of the bigger picture.

Now that she's disregarding the bigger picture and only throwing tantrums, he's starting to feel a bit dissatisfied.

I don't even like Su Zhirou's face as much anymore.

"It's nothing. No matter what you think, you can't do anything to hurt her again. You need to consider the bigger picture, understand?"

Xie Huaixuan was too lazy to argue with Su Zhirou and turned to leave. Seeing this, Su Zhirou quickly grabbed the man.

"Hey, don't go! Why are you leaving?"

"Aren't you going to explain this clearly?"

Su Zhirou's face was full of grievances, but her eyes shone brightly as she looked at Xie Huaixuan.

She never imagined that their long-awaited reunion would turn out like this.

It wasn't like this before.

Why has it turned out like this?

"Didn't I already tell you? The bigger picture is what matters. I'll explain everything to you once things have settled down."
