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

Chunfen trembled with fear: "Madam, please, I truly know I was wrong. Can you forgive me this once? Just this once?"

Her eyes instantly reddened, and her gaze towards Su Yingxue was filled with fear.

Su Yingxue gently lifted her chin and clicked her tongue twice: "You look quite pretty crying like a pear blossom in the rain, Chunfen. You're very beautiful. Now that you're gone, remember to cry less. If you upset the Second Young Master, I'll send your parents down with you."

Upon hearing this, Chunfen was instantly stunned.

Fear, like a ghost, instantly spread throughout my body.

This is hardly the image of a wealthy young lady.

He is clearly a demon in the dark.

A vengeful ghost seeking death?

She's gone mad, actually helping others to deal with her?

The more Chunfen thought about it, the more regretful she felt. She wanted to speak up, but she was dragged out.

"Alright, get down here right now. Your face is covered in blood, do you want to offend Madam's eyes?!"

The one who spoke was the maid who had been keeping watch in the courtyard. Chunfen saw that the eyes that had once held her respect were now filled with displeasure, and her regret deepened.

She seems to have... really made a mistake.

The room was filled with a faint smell of blood.

Qiu Yexia stood to the side, head bowed, barely daring to breathe.

At first, they were just watching the spectacle.

But as I watched, I started to get a little scared.

It's one thing to die, but why drag your family down with you?

Thinking of their families, the two of them dared not misbehave again.

This is a lady, she is sacred and inviolable.

Seeing their restrained expressions, Su Yingxue chuckled, "Why are you two so stiff? Are you scared? How can you be my friends if you're so timid?"

"Madam... I'm not afraid at all..." Xia Zhi's voice trembled, and upon closer inspection, her body was also shaking uncontrollably.

Qiu Ye, who was standing to the side, did not seem to be acting strangely, but her hands were clenched tightly, and her knuckles were white.

It was obvious that she was also afraid.

"Madam, actually, this servant isn't afraid..."

Seeing the two girls' feigned composure, Su Yingxue couldn't help but laugh out loud: "What are you two afraid of? If you hadn't betrayed me, I would still be very good to you."

She's not crazy; she wouldn't turn on her own people.

Qiu Ye and Xia Zhi exchanged a glance, then Qiu Ye kowtowed to Su Yingxue: "Madam, rest assured, this servant will be loyal to you for life and will never betray you!"

"Let's get started."

Su Yingxue said calmly, "Go to my private treasury and give each of you ten taels of silver to calm your nerves. You'll have half a day off this afternoon, and you don't need to keep watch tonight."

The two maids' eyes lit up: "Thank you, Madam!"

Who said their wife was scary? Their wife is wonderful!

On the other hand, Chunfen was so frightened after returning that she trembled all over. After much deliberation, she still went to Luomei Courtyard.

"What are you doing here?"

Dong Rong looked at the Spring Equinox with surprise on her face.

Chunfen hurriedly stepped forward, "I have urgent business with the First Madam."

Seeing her anxious expression, Dongrong had no choice but to go inside and report. Soon after, she called Chunfen in: "Madam is currently ill, so please be careful when you go in."

Their wife had never had much money to begin with, and she finally received a dowry after getting married, but before she could even enjoy it, it was swindled away.

How could she possibly accept this?

Fifteen thousand gold coins is no small sum.

Who knew that the wretched woman was so extravagant, even her carriage was so precious.

Su Zhirou felt more and more wronged, especially since the young master favored that slut and even went to that slut's courtyard.

Although it's unclear whether that actually happened, she certainly received some affection.

Even her servants are no longer as attentive to her as they used to be.

It must be because of her position as the Crown Prince's wife. If she had married the Second Young Master, she would probably have been trampled into the mud long ago.

"This servant greets the First Madam."

Chunfen kowtowed to Su Zhirou. Su Zhirou, seeing it was her, looked displeased: "You still have the nerve to come here? Look at what you've done! You can't even keep an eye on one person! Now the young master is getting closer and closer to that slut! Did you try to sow discord between them?!"

Su Zhirou had originally planned to settle scores with Chunfen, but she didn't expect Chunfen to come by herself.

After all, this was due to the Spring Equinox's poor handling of the situation.

If the Spring Equinox had sown discord between the two earlier, how could they have become so close now?

"Of course I stirred things up, but the Second Madam seems to have become a different person. She seems to dislike the Second Young Master now. Just now, she even wanted me to be buried with the Second Young Master and to take good care of him. Madam, please, you must save me..."

"I have been loyal to you all these years and have done many things for you. You must find a way to save me."

Spring Equinox's only hope right now is this person in front of me.

However, if she is unwilling to save herself, then she doesn't mind fighting her to the death.

Anyway, she was the Crown Prince's wife, while I was just a lowly servant.

"What? She actually wants you to be buried with the second young master?"

These words startled Su Zhirou, who was lying on the bed.

Su Yingxue was indeed arrogant and domineering in the past, and had a bad reputation, but Su Zhirou knew in her heart that she would never kill innocent people indiscriminately.

Her reputation was nothing more than something she and Aunt Feng deliberately exaggerated and spread to damage it.

Ultimately, Su Yingxue is a good person.

Such a vicious thing is not something she would do.

Could it be that she discovered something?

Upon considering this possibility, Su Zhirou's expression changed slightly.

"Yes, Madam. The Second Madam is like a madwoman. Not only does she not distance herself from the Young Master, she even often sends two maids to curry favor with him."

"Fortunately, the heir's impotence prevented her from succeeding, otherwise your days in this Duke's mansion would have been difficult."

"What?!"

Su Zhirou was shocked again: "Who said the Crown Prince can't...?"

If the prince is impotent, what's the point of me marrying into this family?

How will she and Xie Huaixuan carry out their plan?

"It's true. Didn't the young master go to Chaoyang Garden today? He stayed in his room for a full half hour. The second madam dressed scantily and tried to seduce him, but he was unmoved and even made her cry."

"I don't know exactly what happened between the two in the room, but the young master doesn't seem to like the second mistress. If he doesn't like her, then he's impotent."

He spoke very eloquently about the Spring Equinox.

Su Zhirou's face grew paler and paler; things seemed far more complicated than she had imagined.

If Xie Huaiyun had a relationship with that woman, that would be one thing; she would still have a way to win the prince back.

But this guy is impotent. What's the point of taking him back?

Su Zhirou's face grew even paler. "I understand. You can go now."

Her voice was faint, and she looked extremely tired.

Chunfen didn't care about her past; right now, she was risking her life to work for this woman.

"Madam, what exactly do you mean? Don't tell me you don't intend to save me at all?"
