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

Now, this is the only way to have the best of both worlds.

If he were to be kicked out of the Duke's mansion, he feared he would never have another chance to turn his life around.

Anyway, if she can't beat Su Yingxue, Xie Huaixuan will come back sooner or later, so she might as well take this opportunity to give the Wei family a heads-up.

Wei Shi was trembling with joy at the thought that her son might not be dead.

"Alright, get up now and continue investigating this matter. If you can find the Second Young Master, I'll protect you in the Duke's mansion from now on!"

These words did give Su Zhirou a guarantee.

Su Yingxue stood to the side, her lips curving into a smile, but she remained silent.

She never intended to use this incident to bring down Su Zhirou.

If Su Zhirou were to fall so easily, wouldn't that be pointless?

However, she was curious about how long Xie Huaixuan could remain hidden in this life.

If Su Zhirou makes no progress, will he come back and take action himself?

What kind of bloodshed and chaos will ensue then?

"Mother-in-law..."

Su Yingxue hesitated, but Wei Shi quickly spoke up: "Yingxue, I know you're doing this for the family's reputation, but if Xuan-ge'er were alive, wouldn't you not have to be a widow?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Shi seemed to have thought of something and became somewhat embarrassed.

If Xie Huaixuan were alive, he would return to find that his elder brother had slept with his wife...

She simply couldn't bear to think about it.

"Actually... you and the young master don't need to be together anymore. If Xuan-ge'er really returns, you'll eventually have to get back on track..."

Wei Shi never expected such a reversal.

She wouldn't have done this if it weren't for wanting to leave an heir for her beloved son.

But now that things have come to this, the thought that her beloved son might not be dead filled Wei Shi with overwhelming emotion.

At the same time, her maternal love for Xie Huaixuan reached its peak.

If Xie Huaixuan really comes back, I can just find him a few clean concubines, and that way I can feel more at ease.

"Mother-in-law, I'm afraid it's too late. The prince and I have already consummated our marriage. Even if we were to switch back now, it would be too late."

"The second young master is still not confirmed to be alive. In that case, let's maintain the status quo for now. If necessary, we can end this relationship when he comes back."

"The entire capital knows about my relationship with the young master. They are brothers, so I don't think the second young master would mind."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhirou's expression instantly changed: "Sister, are you trying to cling to the Crown Prince? Don't forget, I am the true Crown Prince's wife, and you are merely the Second Madam. Your husband is the Second Young Master."

I thought that Su Yingxue would keep her distance from Xie Huaiyun after learning that Xie Huaixuan might be alive, but I didn't expect Su Yingxue to say such shameless things.

She didn't even think about breaking off her relationship with Xie Huaiyun; she was still thinking about enjoying intimate moments with him.

Did they even take her, the legitimate Crown Prince's wife, seriously?

Su Zhirou felt increasingly frustrated the more she thought about it.

"Of course I know that you are the true Crown Prince's consort, but unfortunately, the Crown Prince doesn't like you. If you can entice the Crown Prince to your courtyard, that would be a skill of yours, wouldn't it?"

Su Yingxue wasn't afraid at all, since she was at most a victim herself.

She was a perfectly respectable young lady from two noble families, and it was one thing for her to be assigned to a branch of the family by the Duke's mansion, but she couldn't let them mold her like that.

I wonder how Xie Huaixuan felt knowing that his so-called wife was sleeping with his older brother.

Su Yingxue curved her lips into a faint smile.

"you!"

Su Zhirou was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She really didn't expect Su Yingxue to be so shameless in front of Wei Shi.

They didn't even give me the slightest bit of face.

She looked anxiously at Madam Wei: "Mother-in-law..."

This statement clearly implies that he wants Wei Shi to back him up.

After all, she is now looking for her most beloved youngest son, so he is ultimately a useful person.

It shouldn't be too difficult to discipline Su Yingxue for her, right?

Wei coughed lightly and looked at Su Zhirou: "Alright, we don't know if the Second Young Master can come back, but once you really bring Xuan-ge'er back, I will take care of this matter for you."

Su Zhirou was furious.

If we wait for Xie Huaixuan to return, it will be too late.

Su Yingxue might even have Xie Huaiyun's child.

Before Su Zhirou could say anything more, Su Yingxue bowed and said, "Mother-in-law, since Second Sister says she can find Second Young Master, please show us your abilities. Your daughter-in-law is tired and will be leaving now."

Having said that, he turned and left.

"Sister, how can you be so rude? Mother-in-law even said to let us leave!"

Su Zhirou spoke up, but only saw Su Yingxue's graceful departure.

Su Zhirou was furious, her nails digging deep into her palms.

You bitch!

She'll definitely teach her a lesson someday!

"Mother-in-law, look at my sister, she doesn't respect you at all..."

Su Zhirou was still planning to try to sabotage things, but Madam Wei waved her hand and said, "Alright, hurry up and go find Xuan-ge'er. If you find him, this matter will end. If you don't find him, this matter is not over."

Before Su Zhirou could react, she was kicked out.

Why is Wei Shi's attitude towards her completely different from her attitude towards Su Yingxue?

Isn't she her daughter-in-law?

In the future, won't this Duke's mansion rely on her?

This old slut doesn't even know how to curry favor with her?

When she succeeds in the future, she will definitely teach this old slut a lesson.

Su Zhirou returned to Luomei Courtyard in a huff, and Dong Rong hurriedly asked a doctor to treat her.

"Madam has only suffered some external injuries. This is ointment; apply it twice a day, morning and evening, and she will recover in less than half a month."

After the doctor finished speaking, he left the medicine and took his leave.

Dongxue went out to see the doctor off, while Dongrong stayed behind to apply medicine to him.

Su Zhirou was wearing a small top, and her arms and legs were covered in bruises.

In particular, there was a large footprint on her abdomen, which was left by Su Yingxue.

"That bitch!"

Su Zhirou was furious. Seeing her once delicate and fair skin in such a state, her face turned extremely ugly.

"Madam, be careful not to aggravate your wound."

Dong Rong carefully wiped Su Zhirou's wound.

Su Zhirou sighed, "I had no choice but to reveal that secret in order to escape. If I can't find the person, I'm afraid the Duke's mansion will not have an easy time..."

She wasn't in a hurry to find Xie Huaixuan, since Xie Huaixuan would definitely try his best to contact her after being received by the Crown Prince's men.

But since the matter hasn't been settled yet, Su Zhirou doesn't dare bring Xie Huaixuan out.

If we actually bring it out, things will become even more complicated.

But that woman seems to have suddenly realized something, and now her attitude towards him is extremely hostile.

I can't figure out how to continue that plan in the future.

To sow discord between Su Yingxue and the Crown Prince?

still......

"It's alright, as long as Madam conceives the young master's child, isn't that enough?"

Dong Rong's words were a wake-up call for Su Zhirou, whose eyes lit up: "That's right, how could I forget there was such a way?"

If she could get pregnant with the prince's child first, and then use some tricks, wouldn't that bitch be in for a beating?

They repeatedly sowed discord between them until they completely lost all trust in each other.

In this way, wouldn't she have achieved her goal?

Su Zhirou's eyes grew brighter with each thought, and she hurriedly said, "Quickly apply the medicine to me, and tomorrow we'll find an excuse to invite the young master to the courtyard."

A determined light shone in her eyes: "This time, we must succeed!"
