The man spoke with a hint of probing in his voice.

It was as if they were afraid she wouldn't agree.

Su Yingxue nodded excitedly: "Okay~"

The man's breath hitched; he hadn't expected her to agree so readily.

She was willing to go to such lengths for that man.

Xie Huaiyun sighed, picked up the woman in his arms, and gently placed her on the couch.

Su Yingxue slowly closed her eyes, feeling the man approach. She thought something was going to happen, but the man just lay down on the other side of the bed and soon began to snore softly.

That's fine.

They were separated by a distance of 108,000 li.

It can even accommodate one more person.

The man, meanwhile, was sleeping fully clothed on the tatami mat beside her, as if afraid she might do something.

Su Zhirou was furious, but she didn't want to hurt his pride, so she could only lie down beside him, her back to him.

In the darkness, the man's eyes, as deep as still water, slowly opened.

He could feel the little woman's panting breaths beside him, and his eyes were filled with unyielding disappointment.

See it.

She still only had her second brother in her heart.

She was so angry even when she slept with him fully clothed.

If we were to consummate our marriage in the future...

He slowly shook his head, staring at the ceiling in despair...

Luomei Courtyard.

Upon hearing this news, Su Zhirou was thunderstruck: "What nonsense are you spouting?! The young master is resting in the second madam's courtyard?!"

Dong Rong knelt on the ground, her back drenched in cold sweat: "Madam, please don't be angry. It must have been the Second Madam who seduced the Young Master. He only lost control for a moment..."

"Why should I?!"

Enraged, Su Zhirou swept the teacups off the table, shattering them on the floor. Her voice rose, "Why?! Why does that bitch have so much right?!"

She was the Crown Prince's wife, and not only did the Crown Prince not look for her, but he actually stayed in that lowly woman's courtyard first.

She still holds the reins of the household, managing this huge mess in the backyard. What does she think she is?!

Free concierge?!

Su Zhirou grew angrier the more she thought about it.

The more I think about it, the more frustrated I feel.

"Madam, please calm down. The young master is impotent. Perhaps they simply slept fully clothed and nothing happened..."

No sooner had Dong Rong finished speaking than Dong Xue brought bad news: "It's terrible! Chaoyang Garden is calling for water!"

"What?!"

Su Zhirou's vision went black, and she fainted.

"lady!"

The next morning, Granny Wei showed the blood-stained handkerchief to Madam Wei for inspection.

Lady Wei was overjoyed: "That's wonderful! My son will soon have an heir, and his spirit in heaven can rest in peace!"

Wei Shi had no idea that her good son had taken a cold shower in the middle of the night.

Su Yingxue, of course, had no idea that she slept soundly and peacefully that night.

When she woke up, the sun was already high in the sky, and the man beside her was long gone.

"Congratulations, Madam, your wish has come true!"

Qiu Ye, accompanied by several maids, offered her congratulations to Su Yingxue.

Su Yingxue was completely bewildered. Before her brain could process what was happening, she blurted out, "Give each person in the courtyard five taels of silver."

"Thank you, Madam!"

Everyone was thrilled, and the entire Chaoyang Garden was immersed in joy.

However, in Luomei Courtyard, even though it was midsummer and autumn had not yet arrived, it already felt chilly.

Su Zhirou lay on the bed, the light in her eyes dimming again and again.

"I heard that the young master sent the original handkerchief to the old lady's courtyard early this morning, and the old lady was so happy that she rewarded Chaoyang Garden with many things..." Dongxue was both ruthless and cruel.

Su Zhirou couldn't catch her breath; there was even a slightly metallic taste in her throat.

Dong Rong immediately rebuked, "What nonsense are you spouting? Can't you see that Madam is ill? You blind fool, get out!"

"Yes." Dongxue pouted, lowered her head, and turned to leave.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Dong Rong thought she saw a mocking curve on her face.

But Dong Rong was busy comforting Su Zhirou and didn't pay attention: "Madam, this is just the beginning, we still have a chance. Didn't the Second Young Master ask you to go over there?"

"Don't forget."

Dong Rong lowered her voice, and Su Zhirou's gray eyes brightened: "That's right, how could I forget about that?"

"Go and make the arrangements. Tell them I'm going out to buy some new clothes this afternoon. Remember to rent an inconspicuous sedan chair, and make sure no one notices."

Once she sees Xie Huaixuan, she will definitely tell him all about her grievances.

"Yes."

During the Spring Equinox, he kept an eye on the movements at Luomei Courtyard. Upon hearing that Su Zhirou had left the house, he immediately followed her out.

This time, Su Yingxue assigned her two servants.

They won't be completely isolated and helpless.

Spring Equinox followed the group back to that alley, but this time, she clearly saw that the sedan chair didn't land at the dilapidated hut, but went to the one next door.

"No wonder I couldn't find it; it was just an illusion!"

Chunfen was furious. "You all stay here and keep watch. I'm going back to tell Madam!"

"yes!"

As soon as Su Zhirou entered the room, a strong hand grabbed her waist.

The man's burning body pressed against hers, his voice deep and resonant: "You've finally arrived! I've missed you so much~"

His voice was slightly hoarse, as if he were moved by emotion.

However, Su Zhirou had no interest in getting entangled with him at the moment.

She pushed Xie Huaixuan away without saying a word, her voice tinged with displeasure: "How dare you say that? I listened to you and married your elder brother, thinking I would be rich and powerful, but I've been living like a pig or a dog in this mansion every day, no different from an old maid."

If there were money in the account, that would be fine, but it's laughable that all the money in the account was taken by that bastard.

Now, she's basically a housekeeper who's willing to pay anyone to her house.

Not to mention the numerous problems the Duke's mansion was dealing with, the money they were spending was all from their own dowry.

In addition, the Duke's mansion spends a lot on gifts, so even if she buys something, Madam Wei will criticize her for being stingy.

In just two months, she lost a lot of weight.

She looks better now than when she was chubby.

His sallow complexion made him look somewhat poor.

"Let me see."

The man's large hand moved like water over his skin. "Hmm, you've definitely lost weight."

"My Rou'er has suffered a lot of injustice, and I feel especially sorry for her~"

He lowered his head and kissed Su Zhirou's cheek: "But now that things have come to this, I can only ask you to make do."

"I've heard that you're impotent? Is that true?" Xie Huaixuan asked, his voice tinged with curiosity.

He still can't believe that his upright and honorable elder brother couldn't do that kind of thing.

"Your elder brother consummated his marriage with Su Yingxue last night, and I heard the bloodstained handkerchief has already been handed over. Could that be true?"

"What?! Big Brother touched Su Yingxue?"
