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

The accounts were quickly verified.

Su Yingxue found no problems with the estate and prepared to return home early the next morning.

The journey would take three or four days in total, but unexpectedly, an accident still occurred.

"Oh no, Madam! Our carriage has been vandalized!"

Xia Zhi looked displeased. "Even our horses have been killed."

"When did this happen?" Su Yingxue's expression remained unchanged, but her delicate brows were slightly furrowed.

"What happened this morning... I heard those people were wearing royal blue robes, and they seemed to be... the Crown Prince's men?" Xia Zhi asked cautiously, her face grim.

I originally thought that the young master had already forgiven the young lady and that the two had made up.

I never expected the Crown Prince to be so tasteless, capable of doing such a despicable thing.

"What? The young master actually treated our lady like this? Could it be that the young master is still angry about what happened before?" Chunfen feigned surprise.

"Madam, you have already made many concessions these past few days, but the Prince still refuses to reconcile with you. So, are you still going to put on a smiling face for him and spend your days with him?"

"So? What are your plans?"

Su Yingxue glanced at Chunfen beside her, her expression indifferent.

"In my opinion, Madam should revert to her previous attitude towards the young master. The young master's behavior makes him unworthy to be your husband."

"As for the second young master, he is extremely pitiful. Not only was he killed by his own brother, but even his wife was taken by him. If the second young master knew this in the afterlife, he would surely feel sorry for his wife."

"The second young master is truly sincere towards you, Madam. Can't you take a chance for him just this once?"

Qiu Ye frowned: "Madam, this matter has not been fully verified yet, so let's not pin the blame entirely on the young master."

After all, the method of the crime was too obvious, and it didn't seem like something a prince would do.

It sounds more like a frame-up.

I really don't know what they're up to. Does the First Madam think that by sowing discord between the Prince and the Second Madam, she can win the Prince's favor?

This is utterly ridiculous.

If the prince liked her, that would be fine, but he was clearly forced to marry the first wife.

However, she always felt that the young master treated her and her wife differently.

Manager Liu immediately led his men forward.

"Madam, the man who killed the horse did indeed say he was from the Bureau of Arrest."

The head of the arrest and capture department was indeed Xie Huaiyun.

It seems the other side was indeed prepared.

Su Yingxue pursed her lips: "Understood. Go find someone to get a luxurious carriage immediately. Also, report to the authorities. My horse cannot have died in vain."

"Furthermore, that carriage was also made of Phoebe zhennan wood, worth at least ten thousand gold pieces."

Everyone stared in astonishment, then nodded in agreement.

The news quickly reached Su Zhirou.

"How is it? Does that bitch hate the young master now? Does she want to take revenge on him?!"

She did all this and framed Xie Huaiyun, all to make Su Yingxue turn against the Crown Prince.

In this way, she was able to successfully implement her plan.

Dong Rong's face was grim, and she hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Su Zhirou had a vague sense of unease.

Did it not work out?!

No way?

Such a simple thing couldn't be accomplished?!

"The matter was settled, but it didn't go as we expected. The second madam... reported it to the authorities."

"What?!" Su Zhirou was completely taken aback. "Why did she report it to the authorities? Isn't it obvious? Why didn't she confront the young master?"

She had already planned it out: if Su Yingxue came to settle scores with the young master like a madwoman, she would step forward to stop her, showing her magnanimity and gentleness.

Unexpectedly, this bitch didn't play by the rules.

You should know that every single one of those bitches who did those things before went to settle scores with Xie Huaiyun.

Why not this time?

Could it be that a flaw has been revealed?

"This servant doesn't know either..."

Dong Rong's face darkened: "Could it be that the Second Madam wants to escalate this matter further, to use it to control the Young Master?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't the young master dislike her even more? She would bring shame to the entire Duke's mansion!"

Su Zhirou's eyes lit up, but she quickly straightened her face again: "But this time, it wasn't the young master who did it. What if the government gets involved and finds out about us?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't I be finished?"

Su Zhirou's face turned deathly pale instantly; she hadn't expected things to escalate to this point.

"It's alright. We just sent people to smash the carriage. The authorities might not arrest those people. I've already given them money, and I'll tell them to go as far away as possible."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhirou's expression softened.

"I hope so."

Upon hearing this news, Xie Huaiyun's eyes lit up at Mu Cangyuan.

"What did you say? She didn't suspect me this time? She reported me to the authorities directly?"

How did this woman become so clever?

He suffered a lot of injustice because of this before.

This woman didn't play by the rules this time, leaving him somewhat at a loss.

"It's true! This time, the Second Madam didn't directly confirm it was you, Prince, but instead reported it to the authorities!"

Rong Jing was also very happy.

If the Second Madam can remain so clear-headed, he wouldn't mind if she had designs on their heir.

The thought of being able to have the best of both worlds made Rong Jing extremely happy.

In this way, the crown prince's life can be saved, and his long-cherished wish can be fulfilled.

It couldn't be better.

He raised the corners of his lips slightly: "I suppose this time the Second Madam truly believes that the Heir Apparent wouldn't act this way. The Second Madam has finally gained a little understanding of you."

Their heir is upright and honest. Even if he does something wrong, he will leave his name directly. If he didn't do something, he didn't do it and would never admit it even if beaten to death.

Xie Huaiyun smiled and said, "In that case, send a few people to help her."

Everyone under him is a capable person.

How wonderful that would be, as long as she's willing to rely on him, he'll always be there for her.

Why get angry with him? Why keep pushing him away?

"yes!"

Thanks to Xie Huaiyun's help, the case was investigated very quickly.

Almost at the same time the report was filed, the people who had smashed the carriage and caused trouble were tied up and thrown in front of the yamen (government office).

"It's those few!"

Manager Liu recognized him instantly.

Looking at this masterpiece, Su Yingxue probably knew that Xie Huaiyun was helping her, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

"Excellent, it came to me without any effort at all!"

"Did someone instigate you to smash this lady's carriage and kill her horse?"

The prefect conducted the interrogation in the courtroom, appearing to be handling the matter in an official capacity.

"Your Honor, we are innocent! We were just passing through when a group of men in black grabbed us and dumped at the entrance of the yamen. We don't know this lady at all, and we certainly didn't do such a thing!"

"Yes, sir, we are just ordinary people. How could we possibly do such a thing? Please, sir, see the truth!"

The group insisted that they had not done such a thing, their eyes unwavering and never wavering.

"My lord, my lady is the second daughter-in-law of the Duke's mansion. How can she be bullied by these people for no reason? I beg you to investigate and give my lady justice!" Xia Zhi spoke up.
