Thinking of his hard-won reconciliation with Su Yingxue, Xie Huaixuan hardened his heart: "Everyone has their own reasons for this matter, so why not send it to the yamen for investigation?"

Upon hearing this, Su Zhirou's face turned pale instantly.

Has he really given up on her?

Just for this despicable woman? For so-called wealth and status?

Thinking back to the sweet moments she shared with this man, Su Zhirou felt only irony.

"Who dares to touch my people?"

A deep voice sounded, and Xie Huaiyun, dressed in a royal blue robe, walked slowly towards them, her face showing displeasure.

A faint cloud of sorrow clouded his handsome features, and his gaze toward the crowd was filled with deep displeasure.

Su Zhirou seemed to have a renewed sense of hope, looking at Xie Huaiyun with a pitiful expression.

"Your Highness..."

"Help the Crown Princess up."

Xie Huaiyun gave the order in a deep voice, and Dongxue immediately stepped forward to help Su Zhirou up.

"Why? She almost killed me!"

Su Yingxue immediately spoke up in displeasure, her face turning gloomy.

"So what? The maid has already admitted it. If anyone is to blame, it's your carelessness that allowed the maid to take advantage of the situation!"

"I......"

Su Yingxue seemed to choke, and was speechless for a moment.

Xie Huaixuan immediately spoke up: "Brother, how can you speak to Yingxue like that? It's Yingxue who's been hurt, not her!"

No matter what, he can only speak to Su Yingxue now.

Whether it was for her identity or for his plans.

Upon hearing this, Su Zhirou's face showed shock, and disappointment flashed by in an instant.

But now that Xie Huaiyun is protecting him, he doesn't need to get too involved with Xie Huaixuan in order to avoid suspicion.

"Of course I know, but the girl has already admitted it. Do we really want the entire Duke's mansion to be imprisoned because of her?"

"Second brother, you're not a little kid anymore, how come you still haven't grown up? Do I have to teach you this little thing?"

As Xie Huaiyun spoke, he exuded an imposing aura that made Xie Huaixuan feel inexplicably inferior in his presence.

Seeing that Xie Huaiyun had already brought this up, Madam Wei didn't know what to say and could only offer words of comfort: "Yingxue, we're family after all, let's let it go this time. But if there's a next time, we won't let it go so easily!"

"Yes, Yingxue, in the end it's a private matter for our Duke's mansion. If we really send her to the authorities, how will we maintain our standing in the capital?" The Duke of the State echoed.

"Are we just going to let her off so easily? She almost killed Yingxue."

Xie Huaixuan was actually quite happy when he said this.

After all, Su Zhirou is alright now.

This time, his older brother actually did a good job.

In this way, he could openly protect his wife.

"Of course not, I've already reported it to the authorities. No matter what, you must cooperate with the investigation!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions varied.

"Sister, do you know what you've done? Didn't I already say I didn't do it? Why are you insisting on doing this?"

Su Zhirou was surprised by Su Yingxue's swift movements, and her expression changed drastically.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Su Yingxue slowly sat down, her voice indifferent: "I had already made up my mind about this matter. I'm just informing you. You don't really think you're something special, do you?"

"I was almost poisoned to death. Since none of you care about this, I have no choice but to take matters into my own hands."

"I don't have any special characteristics, except that I'm vengeful. Anyone who hurts me will not escape, not even my sister."

"Besides, we have a terrible relationship, worse than strangers, so what kind of sister are you?"

"you!"

Su Zhirou was speechless after Su Yingxue's response; she hadn't expected Su Yingxue to be so unruly.

They didn't even care about the dignity of the Duke's mansion.

Before she could say anything more, the officials from the yamen arrived.

"Princess Consort, please come with me."

As Lord Pei spoke, he gestured for Su Zhirou to proceed.

If it weren't for the fact that she was a member of the Duke's family, he wouldn't have needed to come here in person.

When Su Zhirou saw Lord Pei leading his constables to arrest her, she panicked. She grabbed Xie Huaiyun, who was standing nearby, and Xie Huaiyun's face darkened.

"You should come with me first; I will save you."

Regardless of the circumstances, he cannot openly show favoritism.

The main reason was that he didn't want to show favoritism for this woman.

Moreover, the play still needs to continue.

"it is good."

Meeting Xie Huaiyun's earnest gaze, Su Zhirou finally nodded.

"Your Highness, remember to come and save me..."

Su Zhirou was very cautious, turning back every few steps. Only when she saw the man nod slightly did she feel relieved.

As the Crown Prince's consort, Xie Huaiyun surely wouldn't abandon her.

"How does it feel to be unable to save your wife?" Su Yingxue's face was full of provocation.

Xie Huaiyun's face darkened: "Don't think you've won. I, the young master, will rescue her."

"Tch, the upright and incorruptible young master would actually disregard the rules and etiquette for the sake of the young princess. Truly impressive~ It seems my sister didn't marry the wrong person."

Su Yingxue's tone was somewhat teasing.

The Duke of Fuguo spoke up: "Huaiyun, how can our Duke's Mansion get involved in this matter? If we show favoritism, it might jeopardize your future. His Majesty values ​​you highly because of your integrity. If you were to engage in favoritism and corruption..."

"Yes, Huaiyun, it's not worth it for a woman."

Since things have come to this point, and Su Yingxue has already done it, they have no reason to pursue the matter with her, so they can only advise their own children.

After all, Su Zhirou really did do something wrong this time.

Everyone should know that this was done by Su Zhirou.

They weren't fools; sometimes they were just trying to keep the peace for the Duke's mansion.

"She is, after all, the Crown Prince's wife."

After saying this, Xie Huaiyun turned and left.

Xie Huaixuan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

It's good that Xie Huaiyun is willing to rescue the person.

Otherwise, he would have to find another way.

If the original plan is disrupted, it would be a loss that outweighs the gains.

Although he was very dissatisfied with Su Zhirou's performance, they had a long-standing relationship, and he couldn't just stand by and watch her die.

"Alright, husband, let's go back now."

Su Yingxue was too lazy to argue with them and turned to leave with Xie Huaixuan.

The couple exchanged a glance and sighed.

Wangfu.

When Prince Rui learned of this, he was extremely surprised: "The Crown Princess poisoned the Second Young Mistress? Her own sister?"

"This must be a misunderstanding," Xie Huaiyun said calmly.

"A misunderstanding? If it is truly a misunderstanding, this matter is easily resolved. But if it is not a misunderstanding, I cannot show favoritism or engage in corruption..."

Prince Rui looked at Xie Huaiyun with a hint of probing.

"Your Highness, we are absolutely certain that we will not let the Crown Prince succeed in that matter."

Prince Rui laughed loudly: "Brother Huaiyun, what are you saying?"

"Your affairs are my affairs. Leave this matter to me, and I will surely give you a satisfactory answer."

"Thank you, Your Highness."
