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

Moreover, Xie Huaixuan has not yet made contact with him.

It's fair to say that she still doesn't know where Xie Huaixuan is.

"I don't care! You didn't even look, and you're saying you can't find it?! You clearly didn't even try!"

Lady Wei was furious: "You go stand at the door right now and don't leave without my permission!"

Su Zhirou was surprised by Wei's unreasonable behavior. Her expression changed repeatedly, but Dong Rong calmed her down and she didn't lose her temper.

That's it.

Just consider it playing along with this old hag.

Su Zhirou reluctantly went to the door.

Granny Xu spoke up: "Madam, is it inappropriate for us to treat the young mistress this way?"

"What's wrong with that? She clearly told me that Xuan-ge'er was still alive, and that if she couldn't find him, she'd have to stand in the rules for the rest of her life!"

Chaoyang Garden.

Xia Zhi was delighted: "I heard that the First Madam was punished by the Old Madam to stand in the rules again. Although it's not as hot as it used to be, the sun is still quite scorching, and it's cold in the morning and evening. If this continues, the First Madam will definitely fall ill."

"To say that the First Madam is like shooting herself in the foot, why did she have to criticize the Old Madam's darling? Since she said that the Second Young Master is not dead, she must find him. If she can't find him, she'll probably be tormented by the Old Madam for the rest of her life."

Qiu Ye spoke in a very light and cheerful tone.

Now that the Spring Equinox is over, she has become a first-class maidservant by Su Yingxue's side, serving Su Yingxue together with Xia Zhi. She couldn't be happier.

Not to mention, now that the young lady is favored, the young master always comes to see her when he returns home late at night.

He also calls for water every night.

It seems that the lady and the prince are quite inseparable.

Not to mention that the lady of the house does not have to manage household affairs and has plenty of free time every day to burn incense, arrange flowers, and even go out shopping.

And you don't have to deal with messy relationships with your mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, or sisters-in-law.

Life was incredibly enjoyable.

Their better days are yet to come.

"She chose this path herself, so naturally she has to finish it on her knees."

Su Yingxue fiddled with the men's belt in her hand, her voice tinged with curiosity:

"This thing is so ordinary, how could the young master like it?"

She had previously given Xie Huaiyun an exquisite belt with intricate patterns, symbolizing wealth and freedom. He had left that belt unused and never worn it.

Could Xie Huaiyun possibly like this unremarkable, broken thing?

"Madam, this is a personal item, a token of our affection, incomparable to anything bought outside. The young master will surely like it," Qiu Ye said with a smile.

"Yes, Madam, you always make me embroider so badly. If Mother knew that I had embroidered her designs like this, she would definitely climb up from her grave and beat me to death."

Every time Xia Zhi made something for Su Yingxue, Su Yingxue had only one request: "That it be ugly enough."

Others are one thing, but Xia Zhi's mother is a famous embroiderer in the surrounding villages, and her ancestors were even among the top embroiderers in the palace.

You could say this is a legacy.

The embroidery is now so bad it's almost unbearable to look at.

Su Yingxue looked at the embroidery pattern, which was still not ugly enough, and was quite dissatisfied: "Xia Zhi, look at this, your stitches are too dense. How can it look like something I embroidered? Here, here, and here, make them all thicker."

"Also, give me your two-tone cable replacement here. It looks too complicated; I don't know how to do that."

Su Yingxue pointed out many flaws, and Qiu Ye's expression gradually became indescribable.

As the sun set, Su Yingxue looked at the belt in her hands, which was in terrible condition and the embroidery pattern was completely unrecognizable, and nodded in satisfaction.

This is more like something she would embroider!

Xia Zhi was already exhausted: "I can't fix it anymore... Madam, you might as well just kill me..."

She has already performed at her worst level; any worse is not an option.

The embroidered shape was her final bottom line.

Qiu Ye swallowed hard. "Madam, are you sure you want to give this to the young master?"

This thing is so bad that you'd get beaten up if you gave it away as a gift.

Isn't this a provocation?

If this gift is given away, what will happen to the relationship that the two of them have finally managed to improve?

Is this the end for the relationship?

Thinking of this possibility, Qiuye said gently, "Actually, giving gifts doesn't necessarily mean giving belts..."

Xia Zhi's eyes lit up and she nodded frantically.

As long as her mother's thing doesn't leak out and ruin her reputation, that's fine.

"What should we send?"

Because Qiu Ye had some insights into matters between men and women, and had succeeded before, Su Yingxue still trusted her.

If it weren't for Qiu Ye, Xie Huaiyun and I would still be at odds.

Although the relationship between the two is quite strange right now.

But it's much better than before.

"How about a hairband, a jade hairpin, a jade crown, or a folding fan?" Qiuye suggested.

Su Yingxue frowned: "These are all useless gold and silver items. They clearly lack sincerity. Didn't you say you wanted to be more sincere?"

We've given him gifts before, but that kid doesn't need them at all.

The effect is minimal; it's better not to send it at all.

Qiu Ye choked, not expecting that her young mistress had taken these words to heart and learned them perfectly.

As darkness fell, the two maids still couldn't figure out how to stop Su Yingxue from giving them this gift, and could only look at each other with tears in their eyes.

Summer Solstice: What should I do? My reputation is ruined... My mother will kill me if she finds out...

Qiuye: There's nothing we can do. We've done our best. We'll leave it to fate. There's no way anyone can persuade Madam of her stubbornness...

Su Yingxue had no idea that the two girls were already heartbroken.

Huanhuanxi held the belt and looked it over from side to side, becoming more and more satisfied with it: "This picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water is truly wonderful~ It can convey my feelings for him in a subtle way, without having to say it out loud."

Xia Zhi glanced at the picture of chicks pecking at rice in Su Yingxue's hand and gave a wry smile.

Fine, whatever Madam says goes.

As a servant, she could only endure it.

Soon, a familiar shout came from the doorway: "The Crown Prince has arrived!"

Rong Jing's voice was loud and clear. The door was pushed open, and the two maids immediately retreated.

Su Yingxue immediately went to greet her, hiding the belt behind her back, her face beaming with excitement: "I have a gift for you today, guess what it is?"

The man's gaze was fixed on the woman's delicate face, and he couldn't take his eyes off her.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice was hoarse: "What?"

These days, the two sleep in the same bed every night, and the little woman's smile grows wider and wider.

He loved seeing the smile on her face and her bright, sparkling eyes, as dazzling as a galaxy.

It's so captivating, you can't take your eyes off it.

"You'll definitely like this! Close your eyes! I'll count down from three, then you open your eyes!"

The woman's voice was filled with joy, which made Xie Huaiyun even more expectant.

She must be something of exceptional quality to have such a beautiful appearance.

He curved his lips into a smile, gently closed his eyes, and his thick eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes in the candlelight.

Su Yingxue looked at his handsome face and smiled, "Three! Two! One!"

"Ding ding ding ding~"

The man opened his eyes and saw an extremely ugly black belt embroidered with... a picture of chicks pecking at rice?
