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

Thinking of this, Su Zhirou's gaze towards her changed repeatedly.

She wanted to take a closer look at Su Yingxue's changes, but found that her face always had a calm and proper smile, and even a hint of bloodlust.

Su Zhirou shivered involuntarily.

"So, you mean you're taking advantage of my deceased husband by deliberately withholding my monthly allowance?"

Su Yingxue's words were startling, and Su Zhirou was taken aback. She hurriedly explained, "Sister, you know that's not what I meant..."

"Then what do you mean?" Su Yingxue asked back.

Su Zhirou was stumped by the question and stammered, unsure of what to say.

Su Yingxue sighed deeply: "Since my younger sister didn't do it on purpose, then let's give my older sister some compensation as a form of comfort."

"What compensation?"

Su Zhirou's eyes lit up when she saw that Su Yingxue was willing to compromise.

A glimmer of hope.

"Since you like money and want to cheat me, then give me all the money you've earned over the past three years. I'm all alone now and need some money to keep warm. I'm sure you won't refuse me, will you?"

"What?! My monthly allowance for the past three years?!"

Does that bitch even know how much this costs?!

How could she possibly ask?!

"Is my sister unwilling?" Su Yingxue raised her eyebrows, feigning helplessness: "In that case, we can only tell Mother-in-law about this."

As Su Yingxue spoke, she reluctantly got up and turned to leave.

Su Zhirou watched the departing figure with a twitch at the corner of her mouth and hurriedly called out, "Wait!"

"I do!"

If they are unwilling, what will become of their power to control the family?

She finally managed to get the upper hand over that bitch!

But didn't this bitch not care about these things before?

Why do I have time to chat with her about these trivial matters now?

He even got very close to Xie Huaiyun?

Could it be that she has changed her mind and wants to spend the rest of her life with Xie Huaiyun? Has she completely forgotten Xie Huaixuan?

"money."

Xia Zhi stepped forward and reached out her hand.

Su Yingxue watched from the side, while Su Zhirou gritted her teeth, counted out three thousand six hundred taels, and handed them over.

"Hmm, not enough." Su Yingxue shook her head.

"What's not enough?" Su Zhirou suppressed her anger and managed not to lash out.

"This is compensation; I haven't given you my monthly allowance yet. But since you have a criminal record, please just give me three years' worth of allowance directly. That way, you won't forget something important."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhirou completely lost her composure: ?

"For a year? The Duke's mansion doesn't have that much silver in its accounts!"

It would be fine to take out her three years' worth of money, but if we were to take out Su Yingxue's three years' worth of money as well, the accounts would probably be empty.

The Duke's family's savings accumulated over many years have all been emptied by this wretched woman. What will become of this entire family?!

"In that case, I have no choice but to tell my mother-in-law." Su Yingxue took the silver and turned to leave.

Behind her came Su Zhirou's voice, filled with gritted teeth: "Sister, must you force me like this? We're sisters, can't you give me a way out?"

"Sister, you're wronging me. How is it that you're not giving me a way out? Didn't you think my dowry was so generous that I didn't need a monthly allowance? Now that you're in charge of the household, I'm sure you can manage it well even without money in the accounts. Wasn't that what you taught me? Why is it different now that it's your turn?"

"Or did you really mean to make things difficult for me, sister? If that's the case, what about our sisterly relationship...?"

Su Yingxue paused, and Su Zhirou felt a pain in her chest from anger. She took a deep breath and said, "Fine, whatever you want, sister. I'm not a petty person. This time it was my fault, please forgive me, sister."

Another three thousand six hundred taels arrived in her account, and Su Yingxue was genuinely happy.

This money meant nothing to her, but it could cost Su Zhirou half her life.

After all, Su Zhirou values ​​money very much.

Although Aunt Feng did her best to prepare a dowry for her, she was still poor because she had no family wealth.

If it weren't for the Marquis of Shunyang's deliberate addition of many items, her dowry would probably be unimaginable.

"I appreciate your sincerity, little sister. Please don't make your big sister sad again in the future, okay?"

Su Yingxue, without any hesitation, made Xia Zhi accept the money.

Su Zhirou nearly vomited blood upon hearing this, but maintained her composure on the surface.

"Sister is joking, how could I be?"

Su Yingxue left gracefully with her maid, while Su Zhirou angrily swept the teacup to the ground.

"You bitch!"

They actually took all the silver from the Duke's mansion's accounts!

How dare she!

Now the household only has a few taels of silver left, and the monthly allowances for the servants have not yet been paid.

It would cost at least several hundred taels of silver.

Su Zhirou was furious, but she was powerless to do anything about Su Yingxue.

"Master, we can ask the young master for support. We can simply say that we were too busy to deal with this matter. It was a little late when the second madam came and took all the silver from the accounts."

Dong Rong's words made Su Zhirou's eyes light up.

Yes.

Why couldn't she tell them about this?

If the Crown Prince knew how domineering she was, he would surely break ties with her.

What man doesn't like a delicate, charming woman?

Thinking of this, Su Zhirou became even more determined in her belief.

"Walk!"

Xie Huaiyun quickly learned of this news from Mu Cangyuan.

"really?"

Rongjing nodded: "Your Highness, you know the Second Madam's temper. She never suffers a loss."

"The biggest loss she's ever suffered in her life was probably at the hands of you, Your Highness. Who else would dare to mistreat her?"

Even a princess would probably try to get her punishment back if she was punished, let alone Su Zhirou.

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Rong Jing didn't understand Su Zhirou's behavior, so he naturally avoided Su Yingxue as well.

He couldn't afford to offend someone like that.

"Excellent! As expected of the person chosen by this young master, truly one of a kind!"

Xie Huaiyun smiled with a pleased expression, looking very happy.

Rong Jing was puzzled: "Your Highness, this temper is not suitable for a secluded mansion. If she were here, who knows what kind of trouble would happen in the backyard."

It was one thing that Su Yingxue didn't focus on the mansion in the past, but now it seems that the young master's backyard won't have many peaceful days.

"She doesn't cause trouble. If someone messes with her, she'll retaliate. Ultimately, it's their fault, what does it have to do with her?"

If she weren't so passionate and decisive, he would find her weak.

In this way, he can worry less.

"My lord, I have something to report! Please grant me your presence!"

Su Zhirou's soft voice came from the doorway, and Xie Huaiyun's face instantly darkened.

"Alright, he's probably here to complain. Your Highness, how should we appease this one outside?" Rong Jing awaited instructions.

Xie Huaiyun frowned: "She did something foolish herself, and now she wants to bother me? Go, make her kneel in the ancestral hall for three days, lest it delay the payment of wages to the servants!"

"yes!"

The door opened, and Su Zhirou's eyes lit up when she saw Rong Jing: "Where is the young master? Does he want to see me?"

She had suffered such injustice, and she was determined to tell the Crown Prince.

Rong Jing stopped and said, "The Crown Prince already knows about the affair between the First Madam and the Second Madam. The First Madam is really acting against the rules, treating her own sister in this way. The Crown Prince is very disappointed in you and hereby punishes you to face the wall in the ancestral hall for three days."
