Chapter 45 Sometimes, shouldn't you reflect on your own problems?

"What?!"

Su Zhirou was waiting for news at Luomei Courtyard when she received such terrible news instead of Dong Rong.

"Not only that, the Second Madam also killed your horse. She said..." Dongxue hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

"What did you say?" Su Zhirou pressed.

"They say her beloved horse died, and she kills whoever she doesn't like..."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhirou nearly fainted.

Fortunately, Dongxue quickly stepped forward to help her up: "Madam, are you alright?"

"That bitch! She's gone too far!"

She thought the investigation had reached her, but she never expected it to be intentional.

That wretched woman wanted to kill her own horse, so she killed her own horse?

Why should I?!

She is determined to get justice!

"Go, call my mother-in-law over. I'll go and deal with this slut myself!" Su Zhirou gritted her teeth.

"Yes, Madam." Dongxue, having received the order, hurriedly left the courtyard.

Stable.

The coachman knelt on the ground, wailing and crying, "Second Madam, you're trying to kill this old servant! If the Princess Consort finds out about this, how can this old servant ever face anyone again?!"

In his twenty years in the Duke's mansion, this was the first time he had witnessed such a cruel and bloody event.

I've never seen any royal or noblewoman do such a thing.

"Why are you crying? With me here, she won't dare to kick you out."

Su Yingxue didn't take it to heart. This horse had offended her quite a bit before, and now that it was gone, she finally felt better.

"That's right, our lady is incredibly wealthy. If you really lose your monthly allowance because of this, it's alright. The compensation she gives you will definitely be substantial!"

Xia Zhi had complete trust in her young mistress.

Miss just has a bad temper, not a bad heart.

Miss is the best lady in the world.

"Horse!"

Su Zhirou was so angry that she trembled when she saw the dying horse on the ground and her carriage that had been smashed to pieces.

This carriage was part of her dowry; she was very prestigious back then. Now look what's happened—her dowry has been killed. What face will she have left?

The Duke's mansion did have carriages, but they were shared, which was inconvenient.

"Sister, why are you so cruel? You smashed my carriage and killed my horse?" Su Zhirou's eyes were filled with disbelief.

She looked as if she had suffered a great injustice, her eyes were red and swollen.

Anyone who looked at it would see Su Zhirou as a victim.

"Madam, this old servant truly could not stop the Second Madam! Please punish me, Madam..."

The coachman's face was ashen. Just as Su Zhirou was about to speak, Xia Zhi said, "Here is one hundred taels of silver as compensation for your emotional distress. If the Madam is still not satisfied, we will provide further compensation."

"Thank you, Second Madam!" The coachman's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly accepted the silver, looking at Su Zhirou with anticipation.

The first time, I hoped she would persist relentlessly.

Thinking about it that way, it's not bad.

Why not take a large sum of money and go back to retire? Who would want to be a slave here?

No matter how good the Duke's mansion is, he only gets one tael of silver a month.

That money is enough to buy him the rest of his life.

Su Zhirou was surprised by Su Yingxue's generosity, and thinking of her own predicament, she felt even more resentful.

What's with this jerk being so arrogant?

Once she has completed her plan, she will definitely tear this bitch to pieces!

Su Yingxue looked at Su Zhirou, who was feigning pitifulness, and smiled slightly: "Just kill it, I didn't like it, what other reason could I have?"

"Sister! Your reasoning is unlikely to convince anyone!" Su Zhirou didn't expect Su Yingxue to be so shameless as to say such a thing.

Su Yingxue didn't take it to heart: "So what? When have I ever needed to gain the approval of others?"

"You!" Su Zhirou trembled with rage. "This was my mother's dowry!"

"What do you mean, your dowry? The Marquis's mansion is just an empty shell. Everything you eat, drink, and use comes from me. Even this carriage and horses were all paid for by my mother. What does it have to do with you?"

"You think it's yours just because your mother kindly lent you the money for a few days? That's ridiculous!"

Su Yingxue smiled and said, "My mother is indeed kind-hearted, but I'm different. I'm not as easy to bully as my mother."

"I've lent you this carriage for a while now, but I'm taking it back, so don't be sad. The horse isn't getting enough to eat anyway, so it's better to get out of here sooner rather than later."

"Su Yingxue!"

Su Zhirou was furious: "You've gone too far! Am I the head of this Duke's mansion?!"

"So what? I'm not short of money, and I don't need your funding. Do you think you can control me?"

These words were full of sarcasm, and Su Zhirou's face turned pale and then red. She never expected Su Yingxue to be so disrespectful to her.

A metallic taste rose in her throat, and Su Yingxue wiped her hands and left gracefully.

Lady Wei arrived late, and was stunned for a moment when she saw the horses lying dead on the ground and the carriage smashed to pieces.

Did that girl smash all of this herself?

How much resentment must there be?

"Mother-in-law! Mother-in-law, you've finally arrived! If you hadn't come, my sister would have bullied me to death... Waaah..."

"Mother-in-law, these were all part of my dowry. My sister just didn't like them, so she ruined them like this..."

"Waaah, Mother-in-law, I can forgive my sister for bullying me normally, but this is my dowry... How could my sister be so cruel? How could she ruin my dowry like this?"

Su Zhirou's voice was filled with grievance, and her eyes looked at Wei Shi with a pitiful expression.

Even though the Wei family wanted to protect Su Yingxue, they were powerless to do so now.

He could only sigh heavily: "Fine, I'll go find her myself and demand justice! Don't cry."

With that, Wei turned and left.

Dongxue hurriedly stepped forward to help Su Zhirou up. Seeing Wei Shi heading towards Chaoyang Garden, Su Zhirou's lips curled into a faint smile.

Chaoyang Garden.

As soon as Lady Wei arrived at Chaoyang Garden, cries of alarm erupted from within: "Second Madam, this servant truly did not mean it! Please, Second Madam!"

"Snap!"

Su Yingxue raised her knife and chopped off the man's arm.

The man screamed and fainted.

Wei Shi's eyes widened, and she turned pale with fright.

Granny Wei's voice trembled slightly: "Madam...madam, shall we still go?"

Madam Wei was terrified, her handkerchief crumpled in her hand: "Where are we going? Hurry back to the courtyard, and whatever you do, don't let her see us!"

"Yes."

The master and servant left in a hurry, their feet barely touching the ground.

Inside the courtyard, Su Yingxue smiled and threw the cleaver on the ground.

The servant on the ground also got up, revealing his intact arm.

"Madam, is it alright for us to lie to the old lady like this?" Xia Zhi was still a little shaken.

What if the old lady starts to dislike them from now on?

"It's alright, this will save a lot of trouble."

Su Zhirou happily dragged Dongxue to Chaoyang Garden to watch the excitement, only to be met by a panicked Wei Shi.

"Mother-in-law, why are you out here? Where is my sister?" Su Zhirou asked, puzzled.

Shouldn't Wei Shi seek justice for herself at Chaoyang Garden at this time?

"You shameless thing, how dare you say that?" Wei was so angry that she slapped Su Zhirou across the face.

That brat is practically throwing her life away.

How could she forget that Su Yingxue was a notorious woman from the capital?

They are vengeful and will seek revenge for even the smallest wrongdoing.

Even the crown prince couldn't escape her, let alone her mother-in-law, with whom she had little familial relation?

If she really offended this girl, she might not even know how she died.

Su Zhirou's face turned deathly pale, filled with disbelief: "Mother-in-law, what do you mean? Has your daughter-in-law done something wrong?"

Wei sneered, "Sometimes, you should reflect on whether it's your own fault. Why is your sister targeting you but not others? From now on, don't bother me with anything concerning your sister! You'd better watch yourself!"
