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

Su Zhirou was so angry that her face turned red. She wished she could go back in time and slap herself for meddling in other people's business.

If she doesn't go, Su Yingxue won't be able to use her.

They must be a thorn in the side of the entire Duke's mansion now.

"Madam, although Second Madam is living a comfortable life in the manor now, the person in her heart is not the Heir Apparent. We just need to continue to sow discord between her and the Heir Apparent."

"The young master is an exceptional individual. If someone doesn't know what's good for them, do you think he will continue to treat her well?"

Upon hearing this, Su Zhirou's expression softened slightly: "Then tell me, how do you intend to sow discord?"

"Madam, you are like this..."

Dong Rong whispered a few words, a wicked smile curving her lips.

"Okay! Let's do it this way!"

Chaoyang Garden.

"Madam, didn't you see how the Second Madam looked? Her face turned green!" Xia Zhi found it amusing when she thought of Su Zhirou's appearance.

"Yes, the Second Madam never dreamed that she would be making a wedding dress for the Madam." Qiu Ye also found it laughable.

Chunfen, standing to the side, wore an awkward smile and remained silent.

She never expected Su Zhirou to be so stupid.

But for some reason, Su Yingxue changed from the day she got married.

She seems... to be smarter than before.

In the past, she was always easily manipulated by Su Zhirou.

But things are different now.

Her scheming is now even more profound than Su Zhirou's.

Isn't it only a matter of time before she's discovered?

Thinking of this, Chunfen's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Spring Equinox, Spring Equinox?" Xia Zhi frowned. "Your wife is calling you."

"Hmm? This servant is here." Chunfen hurriedly stepped forward.

"What are you thinking about so intently?" Su Yingxue's gaze fell on Chunfen's face, scrutinizing her.

Chunfen hurriedly said, "It's nothing, just to make the Second Madam happy. After this incident, no one in the manor will dare to bully the Second Madam anymore."

Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue smiled and said, "You're right, but I'm afraid you're not truly happy for me."

"Why do you say that, Madam?" Chunfen hurriedly pledged her loyalty: "Madam, you are wise enough to see that my heart is as clear as day! Please do not distrust me, Madam."

"Oh?" Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow. "What if I refuse to believe you?"

Chunfen was stunned, not expecting Su Yingxue to treat her this way.

"This servant...this servant has done something wrong? Please tell me, madam!" Chunfen's face was full of panic.

Although she had previously helped Su Zhirou gather a lot of information and spread many messages, she had been behaving herself lately.

Su Yingxue has suppressed Su Zhirou time and time again these days, gaining the upper hand. What is there to be unhappy about?

Could it be that Su Zhirou was unhappy because I spoke up for her before?

The spring equinox was completely baffled, and cold sweat began to bead on his forehead.

"Did you tell anyone I'm going to visit the manor tomorrow?"

Although she did not manage the Duke's mansion's properties, she still had 100,000 mu of fertile land in her dowry, so she would still visit it every year.

Chunfen hurriedly spoke up: "What are you saying, Second Madam? How could I possibly tell anyone? Aren't I your person?"

She had informed Dongrong about this matter long ago, and presumably, they would begin to take action soon.

Regardless of the circumstances, their goal was Su Yingxue's multi-million dollar dowry.

No matter how they succeed, they won't let Su Yingxue get away with it.

Since Su Yingxue and Xie Huaiyun's relationship has improved, this incident can be entirely blamed on Xie Huaiyun.

In this way, the two can act according to their plan, even though their relationship is irreconcilable.

"Alright, you can go and get ready now."

Su Yingxue stared at Chunfen for a moment, then waved her hand, signaling her to leave.

Chunfen breathed a sigh of relief. After Chunfen left, Qiuye spoke up: "Second Madam, don't listen to Chunfen's nonsense. This servant saw that last night, Chunfen secretly went out and met with Dongrong in the garden."

"The two talked for quite a while before parting ways, presumably because of this matter."

"Afterwards, I pretended to have just woken up and asked her about it, but Chunfen made up an excuse that I was in the outhouse. But the outhouse was right in the courtyard; why did I need to go so far? It was clearly a sign of my guilty conscience!"

Xia Zhi followed up, "Yes, Madam, we must wait until the Spring Equinox. She has tried to sow discord between you and the Heir Apparent many times before. I know your feelings, but ultimately, you can only survive in this Duke's mansion by relying on the Heir Apparent, can you?"

"What good will it do to keep clinging to the memory of the deceased second young master, besides adding to our troubles?"

"In the end, I don't think the young master is as cold-blooded as the rumors say. He would never kill his own brother. Please don't be fooled."

Xia Zhi was still very worried about his wife.

After all, her wife had put aside her hatred and was living a relatively good life during this time.

Her relationship with the Crown Prince has also improved considerably.

Why ruin your life because of a dead person?

The second young master is dead, that's all. It's not like he can't breathe.

Knowing that the two girls meant well, Su Yingxue smiled and said, "Alright, I understand. Just pretend you don't know anything about this."

"There's no need to alert the enemy."

In her past life, Qiuye was also a good person.

Unfortunately, he was too stupid, and after his death, Akiha was sold off.

But Qiuye did not forget her, even after learning that her body had been left to rot in the wilderness.

He used his own money to bury her and would burn paper money for her from time to time.

She was very grateful.

Once everything had settled down, she promoted her to head maid.

"Yes."

As dawn broke and the sky began to lighten, Su Yingxue got up, spoke to Wei Shi about the matter, and then set off.

Wei Shi watched Su Yingxue's departing figure, lost in thought.

"Madam, this old servant heard that the Second Young Mistress yesterday used the situation to her advantage and secured her position in the Duke's Mansion without breaking a sweat."

"A few days ago, the young master even went to the Marquis's residence to support the second mistress. Do you think the young master has feelings for the second young mistress?" Granny Xu asked curiously.

"Now that both are his women, let him be happy as he pleases. Besides, the other one wasn't the one he originally wanted to marry." Although Lady Wei wasn't close to her eldest son, she still knew what he was thinking.

If it weren't for Su Yingxue on both sides at the time, I'm afraid this son wouldn't have stepped forward to escort the bride.

This marriage will not happen.

"However, this second daughter-in-law is quite good at managing the household. A few days ago, she even swindled some money from the Duke's mansion. She's not one to suffer losses."

Wei Shi was now extremely grateful that she had not offended this daughter-in-law.

If you offend her, you might be blackmailed clean in other ways.

Granny Xu continued, "This old servant has heard a rumor that the young master has long been in love with the second young mistress and has sent someone to take the second young master's life..."

"Bang!"

Madam Wei slammed the teacup to the ground, her eyes flashing with murderous intent as she glared at Granny Xu: "What nonsense are you spouting?! That's his own brother! Even if he dislikes him, he would never lay a hand on him!"

"Don't think I'm easy to fool! You've been by my side for years. If you don't know your place and spread rumors, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Wei was furious.

What's wrong with Granny Xu? The older she gets, the more easily she's swayed.

How can you spread such nonsense?!

Granny Xu hurriedly knelt down: "Madam, please calm your anger. It was my fault. I shouldn't have spread rumors. Please punish me!"

Upon hearing this, Wei's anger subsided: "In that case, a month's salary will be deducted as punishment!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, Granny Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
