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

Spring Equinox stood stiffly, waiting for the woman in front of him to speak.

After all, she was truly alone and helpless at that moment.

To Su Zhirou, she might not be much, but she only had one life, and she could not give it up.

Su Zhirou then vaguely remembered Chunfen saying that Su Yingxue wanted her to be buried with her.

Su Zhirou waved her hand: "Don't worry, I'll find a way for you. On the day of your burial, I'll send someone to pick you up and let you leave the manor. Don't worry, I'll give you everything you're owed. You should leave the manor to avoid trouble for now. As for your indenture, I'll find a way to get it back from my sister."

Upon hearing this, Chunfen was finally satisfied: "Thank you, Madam. In that case, this servant will take her leave."

Spring Equinox finally felt a huge weight lifted from her heart and turned to leave.

Watching Chunfen leave, Dongrong spoke up indignantly, "Madam, she didn't even get things done for you, and now she has the nerve to ask you for help? She's shameless. Should we really keep someone like that around?"

Su Zhirou's lips curled into a cold smile: "This kind of person is only a menace if kept alive. Continue with the support as usual, then kill him."

She doesn't want anyone who's useless or too ambitious.

Dong Rong smiled and said, "Yes."

Dongxue, who was standing at the door, naturally heard what the two were saying. After thinking it over and over again, she decided to fight for her younger sister's future.

The doctor said that my sister is about to die.

Without money, I'm afraid I won't survive this summer.

She only has one younger sister, and all she wants is for her to live a good life.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought his personal savings back with him.

Chaoyang Garden.

"Why are you here? Is something the matter?" Xia Zhi was slightly surprised to see Dong Xue, but of course, she didn't have a very pleasant expression.

After all, their lady is no good.

The two people next to me are naturally not either.

"This servant has something to discuss with the Second Madam. Please inform her." Dongxue said neither servilely nor arrogantly.

"What could you possibly have..." Xia Zhi originally didn't want Dong Xue to go in, but Qiu Ye sensed something and stopped Xia Zhi.

"Wait a moment."

Autumn Leaves returned home and announced the arrival, and soon Winter Snow invited her in.

Outside, the sun blazed fiercely, like a furnace, but Su Yingxue's room was completely different. As soon as she opened the door, a cool breeze wafted in, dispelling some of the gloom in her heart.

Su Yingxue was nestled on the chaise lounge, eating grapes, when she saw Dongxue. Her voice was soft and low: "I heard you were looking for me? What is it?"

Dongxue hurriedly knelt down, "This servant has something important to report!"

"The First Madam said that when the Second Madam wanted Chunfen to be buried alive with her, she would rescue Chunfen and kill her."

"This servant knows that you do not care about Chunfen's life, but if the maid dies inside the manor, that's fine, but if she dies outside the manor, it will be troublesome for you, Madam."

Dongxue knelt on the ground, her words earnest.

Su Yingxue took another sip of tea and nodded: "That's right, why did you help me?"

Dongxue gritted her teeth: "This servant wants silver, the more the better."

"Do you know that now that you've told me your stakes, I can not only refuse to give you the money, but also tell Second Sister about your betrayal of your master?"

As Su Yingxue spoke, her eyes were fixed on Dongxue, a smile playing on her lips.

Dongxue spoke up: "This servant knows that the Second Madam is kind and virtuous. Those accusations were only leveled against you by the First Madam."

"This servant has other news. I beg the Second Madam to have mercy and give me a way out."

The winter snow clattered and kowtowed.

Now that things have come to this, she has no other choice.

"Alright, Xia Zhi, give her fifty taels of silver." Su Yingxue looked at Xia Zhi beside her.

Summer Solstice immediately nodded and gave Winter Snow a heavy bag of silver.

Dongxue's eyes lit up; this meant her sister could be saved.

She curved her lips into a smile and continued, "Second Madam, the Second Young Master is actually not dead. He is in the capital, but I cannot reveal the location. Please be careful and do not be misled by others."

After saying this, Dongxue turned and left.

Xia Zhi was utterly shocked: "What did she say?! The Second Young Master isn't dead?! How is that possible?"

"Yes, wasn't the second young master already buried? If he's not dead, why is he making a scene? What man would want his older brother to find him a wife?" Qiu Ye asked, puzzled.

At the door, Chunfen saw Dongxue coming out of the room. Seeing that no one was around, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed her: "Dongxue, are you crazy? You betrayed the Madam? Do you know what you've done?"

"Of course I know, but you, at this point, still don't know your fate. It's truly laughable." Dongxue sighed and looked at Chunfen with pity.

"What do you mean?" Chunfen asked, slightly flustered.

"The First Madam's idea is to rescue you and then kill you, so that the blame can be placed on the Second Madam."

"Sacrificing you would also disgust the second wife, so why not?"

"Impossible! How could the First Madam treat me like this?" Chunfen refused to believe it.

"Believe it or not, someone like you is useless once the Second Madam leaves. Without your usefulness, do you think the First Madam will keep you around?"

"Don't you think about it? You're no longer of any use, and you might turn against us at any time. Only a fool would keep you around."

Winter Snow looked at Spring Equinox with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Spring Equinox panicked: "What should I do? What should I do?"

She clung to the winter snow as if it were her last lifeline.

Dongxue glanced behind her and said, "It's simple, just beg your former master to show leniency."

Chunfen rushed in without hesitation, just in time to hear their surprised voices. She exclaimed, "The Second Young Master is indeed not dead!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's attention turned to Chunfen.

"Spring Equinox, stop talking nonsense. You should be resting in your room, not spouting nonsense in front of Madam! Get out of here right now!" Qiu Ye said, trying to drive Su Zhirou out.

Chunfen hurriedly pleaded, "Second Madam, I beg you, I truly repent, and I cannot bear to see you deceived. Please give me a chance to reform!"

As Chunfen saw that she was about to be dragged out, her voice was filled with urgency.

She now deeply regrets her actions, realizing she shouldn't have gotten on Su Zhirou's pirate ship.

That woman was a complete and utter wicked woman.

The person in front of her was infinitely more upright and honest than she was.

After all, even if she wanted to kill someone, she would make it clear in the open.

That way, she won't be caught off guard.

Su Yingxue waved her hand, and Qiu Ye then ordered someone to put the person down.

Chunfen hurriedly crawled back, her voice trembling: "Back then, I was bribed by the First Madam. The First Madam promised that as long as I sowed discord between you and the Heir Apparent, I could become the Second Young Master's concubine in the future."
