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

"I'm here to bring food to the Crown Prince, of course."

"These are all medicinal meals prepared by the family doctor, which are a very good supplement for the young master's current health."

"The lady is very worried about the young master, fearing that something might have happened to him."

"They specifically asked me to deliver these things."

As Qiu Ye was about to go inside, Rong Jing stopped her.

Remembering what Xie Huaiyun had said before, Rong Jing gritted his teeth and refused, "You should take this back."

"The Crown Prince does not need to eat these things."

"Besides, with the cooks around, the Second Madam really doesn't need to worry about this."

Autumn leaves were surprised by Rong Jing's current attitude.

Rong Jing was quite pleased with Su Yingxue's advances before.

Looking at him now, he's a completely different person.

Where is there even a hint of joy on your face?

It was clearly extreme indifference.

"This isn't something you can decide. This thing is for the Crown Prince. He hasn't even spoken yet, so what nonsense are you spouting?"

Qiuye also lost her good attitude towards Rongjing.

Rong Jing hadn't expected this girl to change her attitude so quickly, and his face flushed slightly: "I'm the young master's personal attendant. My word doesn't count, so do yours?"

"The young master said he will not accept anything from your courtyard, and he will not accept anything from you again!"

These words startled Qiu Ye. Suddenly realizing something, she spoke up unhappily, "Could it be that the young master is angry with the second madam because he couldn't protect the first madam?"

"Young Master, don't you realize that if it weren't for the Second Madam, the Duke's Mansion and Prince Rui would have been at odds?"

"Where is this wealth and status now?"

"Speaking of which, our lady deserves some credit for the Duke's mansion's wealth!"

"Now that you've used their people, you're turning your back on them? That's utterly unreasonable!"

Rong Jing was shocked that Qiu Ye would misunderstand his young master like this, and his face turned extremely ugly: "Who said that? Who said the young master is that kind of person? Don't even think about falsely accusing the young master!"

"Did I say something wrong? Isn't your crown prince just that kind of person?!"

Qiuye refused to budge an inch for the sake of his wife.

Regardless of what outsiders think, she has her wife to protect her.

It doesn't matter if the person opposite is the crown prince.

She only protects her young mistress!

Rong Jing usually saw Qiu Ye as a well-mannered and knowledgeable person, but he never expected that Qiu Ye would have such a sharp and witty side.

He was furious.

But he couldn't tell Qiuye the truth.

The prince did it to protect his wife.

Rong Jing was caught in the middle, facing a dilemma.

"No matter what, as a servant, you shouldn't speak ill of the Crown Prince. It's fine as long as the Crown Prince didn't find out this time, but you should go back quickly, or I'll have to tell the Crown Prince about this." Rong Jing said with a helpless expression.

"Tch~ Who cares!"

Qiu Ye, knowing when to stop, angrily returned to Chaoyang Garden with the food box in her arms.

Xia Zhi saw Qiu Ye bring the food box back and had a bad feeling: "What's wrong?"

"Isn't it because the young master doesn't want to eat? He said he won't eat anything we send him anymore." Qiu Ye became more and more angry as she thought about it.

This time, her lady went to rescue Princess Rui for the sake of the Crown Prince.

She even caught a cold because of it, and who knew that the prince would take his anger out on his wife because of the fact that the first wife had been arrested.

The First Madam herself is incompetent, yet she blames the Madams; I really don't know where her logic comes from!

"What? Why is the young master like this?" Xia Zhi also chimed in angrily.

"It's a waste that the lady is so devoted to the young master; it's like feeding a dog!"

Xia Zhi was furious.

"Madam is already asleep, what should we do?"

"Alright, let's keep this from Madam until she recovers."

The two girls exchanged a glance, their understanding unspoken.

When Su Yingxue learned that Xie Huaiyun had started eating the medicinal meals she had prepared, she had Qiuye deliver them to her every day.

And Qiuye lived up to her mission, finishing all the medicinal food each time.

When Wei learned that Su Zhirou had been arrested, his face turned extremely ugly.

"How could Yun-ge'er have married such a piece of trash? She even dared to offend Prince Rui?"

Madam Wei's face was extremely ugly. If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have handed over the management of the household to Su Zhirou.

I've never encountered such a thing before, even if I went there myself.

Now look what's happened! The entire Duke's mansion has lost all face!

"Madam, please calm down. I heard that the Second Madam rescued the Princess Consort this time, and the Prince even sent her many gifts," Granny Xu reassured her.

Upon hearing this, Madam Wei's expression softened slightly: "In the end, it is Yingxue who is more sensible. Although she seems a bit tyrannical, she is still kind-hearted. After all, she is the legitimate daughter and knows the principle that we all share in the same glory and loss."

"Go and get some things and send them over, just say it's compensation for her."

Wei originally intended to go there herself, but thinking of the scene last time, she still didn't dare.

Although this daughter-in-law is alright, she is timid and it's impossible to get along with her normally.

If she were to suddenly go mad, her old bones couldn't bear the consequences.

"yes!"

Granny Xu accepted the order and took some tonics to Chaoyang Garden.

"Madam, these are tonics for you from the old lady. She said you did very well this time and told you to take good care of yourself."

As Granny Xu spoke, the maid beside her placed the items on the table.

"Please thank your mother-in-law for me..."

As Su Yingxue spoke, she coughed violently twice.

He looked extremely weak.

Granny Xu bowed and then turned to leave.

"Madam, this old lady seems to treat us quite well." Xia Zhi looked at the table laden with tonics.

They all look top-notch.

It must be genuine.

"Yes, she may seem a bit harsh, but she's actually not a bad person."

Su Yingxue smiled. If it weren't for her bad reputation, she probably would have made her stand in the ancestral hall as punishment.

Actually, the reputation of "bad girl" isn't so bad~

"The goods have been delivered? What did the young master say?"

Su Yingxue felt a little uneasy after not seeing Xie Huaiyun for two days.

He would usually come to me to sleep around this time.

Even though it's just sleeping, you still get to see people.

I don't know what's wrong with me now, I can't see anyone at all.

"Hehe, the young master has been busy with official duties lately, which is why he hasn't had time to come to our courtyard. Madam, your priority should be to take care of your health and not think about these things anymore."

As Qiu Ye spoke, she covered Su Yingxue with the blanket.

Su Yingxue lay down without saying anything more.

Also.

Xie Huaiyun is always very busy.

It's normal not to have time for yourself.

Moreover, although their relationship appeared harmonious on the surface, there was still a significant gap between them internally.

If we want to be together day and night, we'll probably have to put in some effort.

"Madam, Princess Rui requests an audience."

The servant's voice rang out, and Qiu Ye spoke up: "Madam, it must be the Princess Consort coming to express her gratitude. Shall we see her?"

"Of course I want to see her. Let her in."

Before long, Zhan Qinghe entered with her maidservants. Su Yingxue noticed that she was accompanied by many guards.

This shows how much Prince Rui doted on this princess.

This is true love.

They were afraid of making even the slightest mistake.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

Su Yingxue stood up, and according to etiquette, she still had to bow to the Princess.

After all, she was a concubine of the emperor, while he was a member of the royal family.

"No need for formalities!"

Zhan Qinghe quickly stepped forward and helped Su Yingxue up: "If it weren't for you that day, I'm afraid I would have been in grave danger. I've only dragged you down with me."

She looked somewhat guilty.

Su Yingxue was puzzled. Did she really intend to die that day, or did she actually step on Su Zhirou's earring?

"I knew you and the Crown Princess were not on good terms, so I had the Prince take her away to be tortured, which can be considered as a small compensation to you."

Su Yingxue was slightly surprised by these words. It turned out that Su Zhirou was not unlucky, but was tricked by Zhan Qinghe.

The favor was sent to the inner prison.
