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

Su Zhirou's face turned pale; she hadn't expected Su Yingxue to have investigated so thoroughly.

She unconsciously looked towards the Spring Equinox, and seeing that she had not spoken, she thought of the falcon.

"Speak up, why aren't you explaining? Are you really having an affair?"

Wei's voice turned colder.

If that's the case, I wouldn't mind cleaning up Xie Huaiyun's house.

However, if word gets out that she's already having an affair right after entering the mansion, it will likely bring shame to the Duke's mansion.

Those raised by concubines are never respectable.

Even their conduct was so licentious.

"Mother-in-law, I only heard that there are eminent monks in that place, and I wanted to find a monk to perform a ritual for the second young master."

"The second young master sacrificed his life for the country and is a hero. His daughter-in-law cannot bear to see him wandering abroad."

Mentioning her deceased son, Wei felt as if needles were pricking her heart.

Her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

In the past, her most beloved son was this youngest son.

She was extremely reluctant to go on this mission, fearing that something might happen to her son, but unexpectedly, something did happen.

She originally had a life that everyone in the capital envied.

This was because she had two sons, one skilled in literature and the other in martial arts.

But she never imagined that she would outlive her child.

Her handsome son was gone.

Even the remains were never found.

Seeing that Madam Wei was distressed, Su Zhirou continued, "I've heard that people without bodies are like people without homes. If a high-ranking monk isn't invited to perform a ritual to help them pass on, they can't be reincarnated and can only become wandering ghosts, drifting aimlessly in this world..."

These words shattered Wei Shi's heart even more, and her eyes reddened further: "Then have you found the high monk?"

Her voice was muffled, giving her the appearance of a loving mother.

"nature......"

Su Zhirou wanted to press her advantage, but Su Yingxue interrupted her: "Did Mother really believe Second Sister's nonsense?"

"What enlightened monk would live in such a place?" Su Yingxue retorted.

"A high-ranking monk should naturally live in seclusion in the city. If he were to be found by someone easily, wouldn't that be bad?" Su Zhirou said indignantly.

Xie Huaixuan is the Wei family's Achilles' heel. As long as you can control this point, you will be invincible.

So what if this bastard has manpower? He's still brainless.

Su Zhirou felt smug and looked at Su Yingxue with a hint of provocation.

"Oh?" Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow. "In that case, has my sister found a high-ranking monk?"

"Of course not. If I find a high-ranking monk, I will invite him to my residence immediately to perform a ritual for my second brother."

As she said this, she looked at Wei Shi with a sincere expression.

Wei Shi's mind stirred, and she was about to praise her when Su Yingxue pointed it out: "Oh? That high monk is really special; he took one of my sister's earrings."

Only then did Wei notice that Su Zhirou was missing one earring, and her face instantly darkened.

There are indeed many doubts about what she said.

On the contrary, Su Yingxue seemed to have found the key flaw.

Su Yingxue raised her hand, and two guards immediately stepped forward: "Mother-in-law, these are the guards I sent to capture the unfaithful man. Tell me yourselves, did you see him?"

Seeing that there were still a few guards from the Duke's mansion, Lady Wei immediately spoke up: "Tell the truth. If you utter even the slightest lie, the Duke's mansion will not tolerate you!"

"Reporting to Madam, we were ordered by you to give chase immediately. We did see a young man who was quite skilled, but he was masked, so we couldn't see who he was."

"We were originally going to capture that person, but unexpectedly, he suddenly appeared out of nowhere and we were injured by his accomplices."

"This is the evidence!"

Each of them revealed their own wounds, which were clearly fresh and still bleeding.

Wei Shi's gaze turned icy as she looked at Su Zhirou: "Su Zhirou, what else do you have to say?"

These words were laced with displeasure. Su Zhirou hadn't expected things to turn out this way, and she quickly knelt on the ground.

"Mother-in-law, does that woman really not recognize her daughter-in-law...?"

"My daughter-in-law is the Crown Prince's consort, enjoying endless wealth and luxury. What is there to be dissatisfied with?"

"Yes, sister, you are the head of the Duke's mansion, what more could you possibly want?"

Su Yingxue's voice was laced with sarcasm: "Poor young master, so upright and honorable, has been cuckolded by his new wife. If word gets out, he'll probably become the laughingstock of the capital."

Wei's face turned even uglier. "Slap!"

She slammed her hand on the table, glaring angrily at Su Zhirou. "What's wrong with you? Why are you so shameless? The young master only neglected you for a few days, and you've already cheated on him?"

"Guards! Send someone to summon the young master back!"

This matter is of great importance, and Madam Wei still wants to call Xie Huaiyun back to handle it.

She was, after all, his newlywed wife.

"Mother-in-law, I misspoke. Actually, I saw that the man looked just like the second young master, so I secretly went to visit him. But before I even saw him, my sister rushed into the house with her people and scared him away."

"I think my daughter-in-law probably lost her earrings in a panic back then."

"What nonsense are you spouting? Xuan-ge'er is gone. What are you trying to do using his name for?!"

Wei was furious. How could this shameless woman be so brazen?

"Mother-in-law, what your daughter-in-law said is true. Your daughter-in-law has always believed that the second young master is not dead. After all, his body has not yet been found, so he can't be considered dead, can he?"

"What if the second young master just kowtowed and suffered amnesia before leaving? If we don't look for him, are we just going to let him wander the world for the rest of his life?!"

Su Zhirou's words startled Wei Shi, who naturally did not want to admit that her son was gone.

But that was news from above; they searched the entire battlefield but couldn't find Xie Huaixuan's body.

Since a whole year had passed, she let it go.

She even erected a cenotaph for Xie Huaixuan.

But what if he really isn't dead...?

Thinking of this, Wei Shi's breathing became a little heavier.

"Dongrong, go and talk to Mother."

Seeing that Wei hesitated, Su Zhirou hurriedly called to Dong Rong who was standing to the side.

Dong Rong immediately stepped forward: "Madam, this person does indeed resemble the Second Young Master by about 50%. I didn't dare to look closely, nor did I dare to tell you directly for fear that you would be disappointed. So I told my mistress, and that's why she went to that place to see if that person was indeed the Second Young Master."

"Madam, my lady's feelings for the young master are clear to all. She has been in love with him since she was a young lady in her boudoir, so how could she do anything to betray him?"

As Dong Rong spoke, she knelt on the ground, her words earnest.

Wei Shi was inwardly terrified: "Are you telling the truth? You're saying Xuan-ge'er might not be dead?!"

"Mother-in-law, I was merely guessing. I simply couldn't see clearly whether that person was indeed the second young master. Please punish me..."
