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

Xie Huaixuan was rescued by Suize's men, and as he dismounted, he met the Crown Prince's disappointed gaze.

"I didn't expect you to be so useless. Not only has such a simple plan failed to progress, but it was also almost exposed."

Zhao Zeyu looked at Xie Huaixuan with extreme disappointment, wondering whether he had made the right or wrong choice in seeking out this person.

If they had put in some effort to win Xie Huaiyun over, his efficiency would certainly not have been so low.

"Your Highness, I have failed in my duty; please forgive my incompetence!"

Xie Huaixuan knelt on the ground, his attitude sincere: "Now the second step of the plan has been implemented. As long as the Crown Princess can conceive my elder brother's child, it will create a rift between my elder brother and Su Yingxue. Then, with a little provocation, Su Yingxue will definitely oppose my elder brother. Her dowry of millions will naturally belong to you, Your Highness."

When Zhao Zeyu thought of Su Yingxue's dowry of tens of millions, his attitude finally softened a little.

"You've already made a great sacrifice. Fine, I'll let it go for now. I'll give you three months. If you still haven't made any progress after three months, I won't hesitate to send you to hell."

After saying this, Zhao Zeyu turned and left.

Xie Huaixuan kowtowed deeply to Zhao Zeyu, "Yes, your subordinate will certainly live up to your expectations!"

"How is it? The young master is back?"

Su Zhirou waited for several days, but still couldn't spot Xie Huaiyun.

They didn't even find an opportunity to administer the drug.

If she can't see anyone, this medicine is completely useless to her.

Dong Rong shook her head, and Su Zhirou instantly wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

"What can we do then? Are we really just going to sit here and wait to die?"

"Madam, although the young master is rarely seen all day, I have heard that he goes to the second madam's room every time he returns home late at night."

Although Dong Rong was unwilling to admit it, Su Yingxue did indeed have seductive skills and had seduce Xie Huaiyun.

"We have to think of something. The young master leaves early and returns late. We can't exactly go to Chaoyang Garden to ambush him, can we?" Dong Rong sighed, feeling extremely distressed.

Now that Su Zhirou is out of favor, even her daughter's dowry maid is suffering humiliation in the mansion.

Although those people dared not act openly, they had already secretly reserved many good things for Chaoxia Garden.

On the contrary, their Luomei Courtyard had no good incense at all, and whenever she went to make a fuss, she would just make up a few words.

Even if they agree verbally, they still can't do their jobs well behind the scenes.

Dong Rong has looked rather haggard lately.

Later, these thankless tasks were simply handed over to Dongxue.

Anyway, winter snow is not favored.

It's okay to suffer a little.

"What kind of bewitching potion did that vile woman give the young master? He hasn't come to my Plum Blossom Courtyard yet!"

If neither of them were favored, that would be fine, but why is that bitch favored while I am completely unfavored?

This shouldn't be happening at all.

I should be the one who is favored.

Why that bitch?!

"Madam, perhaps we should first befriend the Second Madam. That way, we can find an opportunity to get in touch with the Heir Apparent, won't we?"

Su Zhirou gritted her teeth in anger: "I am the Crown Prince's wife, why am I being treated like a concubine?!"

Now she not only has to manage the affairs of the household and arrange gifts and favors, but she also has to be scolded by Lady Wei from time to time. And now, even her husband is running to other women's courtyards all day long.

How can she be considered the matriarch of the household?

She's clearly a mother who spends all her money and effort on herself.

The more Su Zhirou thought about it, the more unbalanced she felt.

Dongxue entered: "Madam, the Old Madam requests your presence."

"What does she want from me now? Didn't she just call me over a few days ago?" Su Zhirou was furious. What exactly did this old hag want?

She doesn't have three heads and six arms, so why would she be watching her all day looking for someone to do something?!

"It should still be the Second Young Master's matter." Dongxue bowed, but said nothing more.

Dong Rong comforted her, "Madam, let's hurry up and go. If we're late, the old lady will make you stand in the rules again."

The thought of Wei Shi gave Su Zhirou a headache.

Wei would occasionally call her over, and because she had been late a few times, he made her stand in the proper place.

In contrast, Su Yingxue didn't even need to ask An for help.

Wei Shi didn't utter a single word.

They really took advantage of her because she had no one else around.

If she had won the prince's heart, that old hag would certainly not have dared to treat her like this.

"Alright, help me wash up and change."

Although reluctant, Su Zhirou quickly dressed and went to Wei's courtyard.

As Wei Shi slowly sipped his tea, he noticed Su Zhirou and said in a calm voice, "You're half a quarter of an hour late again."

The voice was calm, yet it carried an invisible pressure.

Su Zhirou's expression darkened slightly, but she forced a smile: "Mother-in-law, I rushed here as soon as I received the order, but as you know, my Luomei Courtyard is in a remote location, quite a distance from your courtyard. I truly didn't mean it, please forgive me..."

Despite saying this, Su Zhirou wished she could trample this old hag under her feet immediately, and her eyes were filled with a hint of gritted teeth as she looked at her.

Granny Xu spoke up: "The eldest young mistress hasn't remembered the rules again. How can a junior talk back to the mistress?"

Su Zhirou choked and hurriedly knelt down.

Only then did Madam Wei slowly speak: "You said you would find my son, and now a month has passed, why hasn't Xuan-ge'er been found yet?"

The reason she's been treating Su Zhirou this way lately is simply because she feels Su Zhirou hasn't put in the effort to find her.

If she is a good daughter-in-law, she will naturally be a good mother-in-law as well.

But ever since Su Zhirou said that Xie Huaixuan might not be dead, she has been filled with hope and has been unable to sleep all night.

But Su Zhirou has been gone for so long, and there hasn't been a single word from her.

She couldn't help but suspect that Su Zhirou hadn't searched properly at all.

Therefore, seeing her makes me angry.

"Mother-in-law, the Beijing circle is so vast that finding someone is like finding a needle in a haystack. Moreover, even if the second young master is alive, he has no memory of it. In fact, because of what happened last time, he is consciously avoiding the people that his daughter-in-law sent out. Therefore, it is even more difficult."

"Only a month has passed, and the mother-in-law is already demanding that her daughter-in-law find the person. This is clearly an attempt to make things difficult for her..."

Su Zhirou felt more and more wronged as she spoke.

She lowered her head, her eyes filled with displeasure, but her expression remained respectful.

Lady Wei was displeased: "You said yourself that the person was my Xuan-ge'er. If you can find him once, you can find him a second time. Do I need to explain this to you? What exactly are you doing here?! We still don't have any clues."

If Su Zhirou had any clues, that would be fine, but a whole month has passed and Su Zhirou hasn't given her any useful clues at all.

Even now, he still looks impatient.

How could Wei Shi tolerate this?

Su Zhirou looked completely bewildered: "Mother-in-law, I only said that person was very likely the second young master, I didn't say that the second young master was definitely alive..."

She hadn't meant it so definitively, wanting to leave Xie Huaixuan some leeway.

If he wants to come back in the future, he can come back anytime.

As for other reasons, she also gave him one for not going home.

Who knew that Lady Wei would say such a thing, finalizing everything and leaving her in an inexplicable position.

If Xie Huaixuan doesn't come back, does she think she can kidnap him and bring him back?!
