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

Zhan Qinghe appears pure and innocent, but her methods are quite sophisticated.

"Thank you, Your Highness..."

Su Yingxue quickly thanked her.

After all, it was for her sake, so she couldn't be ungrateful.

"Those people say bad things about you, but I think they're great."

Zhan Qinghe pulled Su Yingxue to sit down, adopting an intimate posture: "Speaking of which, you and the Crown Prince are enemies, and now you have no choice but to become husband and wife. I'm sure you're not feeling good about it."

"Living in this world means not only having to be happy yourself, but also having to care for your family and relatives. Although you are alive, you have no human rights whatsoever."

A bitter smile touched Zhan Qinghe's lips: "Perhaps I shouldn't be telling you this, but we're just too alike..."

If it weren't for her family and brothers, she would have committed suicide long ago. Why wait until today?

The woman before him was forced to marry the murderer who killed her husband, and was even forced to feign intimacy with him.

She suffered far more than anyone else.

At least... her beloved is still alive and well...

"Your Highness is overthinking it. As long as you're alive, that's the best course of action. Why worry so much about other things? Sometimes, things are up to us, and we can control our own way of life."

"But what if you're already imprisoned?" Zhan Qinghe pressed.

Su Yingxue smiled and said, "As I said before, anything is possible if the Princess wishes."

These words ignited Zhan Qinghe's hope.

Yes.

Everything is possible.

She curved her lips into a smile, her gaze softening as she looked at Su Yingxue: "The Second Madam and I hit it off immediately."

Half an hour later, Zhan Qinghe left in a grand procession with her guards.

After seeing Zhan Qinghe off, Su Yingxue suppressed the smile in her eyes.

As far as she knew, Zhan Qinghe should have someone she liked.

But she had no idea who it was.

Judging from his appearance, he must still be hung up on his old flame.

"Madam, you should rest early." Qiu Ye felt extremely distressed when she saw Su Yingxue's pale face.

This princess was really something; she knew her mistress had fallen into the water, yet she still pulled her aside and said all those things to her.

How can someone be so clueless?

It's obvious they're preventing the lady from getting a proper rest.

"Yes, that princess has gone too far. Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?"

As Xia Zhi spoke, she hurriedly brought back two plates of side dishes and a small dish of snacks.

"Madam, please eat something before you go to sleep."

These things were prepared long ago. The princess had been staying there for so long and was feeling very hot.

"Um."

Su Yingxue responded and had just picked up her chopsticks when the gatekeeper came again to report: "Madam, someone from the Marquis of Anyang's residence has arrived and says they wish to see you."

As expected, Su Yingxue put down her chopsticks.

"Akiha, do my hair and makeup."

"Madam, you shouldn't go out like this. It would be bad if your cold got worse." Qiu Ye's face was full of worry.

"Yes, Madam, I still think it would be best if you didn't go out." Xia Zhi's face was full of worry.

"No, we must still give face to the Earl's family."

Su Yingxue got up, and the two maids reluctantly helped her put on her clothes.

lobby.

Weishi and Baishi had a very pleasant conversation.

"If it weren't for the Second Madam, our Earl's Mansion would probably have been destroyed. This is just a small token of our appreciation, please accept it," Madam Bai said politely.

The Anyang Marquis's family had been noble for generations, and the Marquis of Anyang also had intricate connections with the imperial court.

Although their status is not as high as that of the Duke's family, their connections and relationships are indeed not to be underestimated.

Mr. Bai had intended to befriend him before, but the other party had always remained indifferent.

Hearing this now, she was actually quite pleased.

This second daughter-in-law is truly useful.

"Madam, you flatter me. It was nothing at all," said Madam Wei with a polite smile.

Su Yingxue arrived late.

Upon seeing Su Yingxue's pale face, Madam Bai quickly stood up: "My child, have you caught a cold? Why is your face so pale?"

Su Yingxue had only met Bai Shi twice, but she didn't expect that Bai Shi would be so concerned about her on the second meeting, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

This level of concern seems unusual.

It has a bit of the feel of an elder caring for a younger person.

"I'm fine, Madam, there's no need to worry."

Su Yingxue maintained a faint smile.

A hint of heartache flickered in Mrs. Bai's eyes: "You child, I've heard about you. All those rumors were completely untrue. You should have just ignored them like cat pee and dog bullshit."

"What a kind child! What are outsiders saying about him?"

Su Yingxue was taken aback by the way the Bai family had come over, and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

She lost her maternal grandmother long ago, and her maternal grandfather remarried, so they were not close.

This was the first time she had ever felt care from an elder.

To be honest, it's really quite good.

Su Yingxue was pulled by the hand and gave two dry laughs.

Madam Wei smiled and said, "It's your good fortune that the old lady values ​​you so much; you don't usually have such good luck."

"Hehe~"

Su Yingxue chuckled dryly, still finding it somewhat difficult to adjust.

"Excuse our boldness, but besides wanting to thank Second Madam, we also wish to recognize her as our goddaughter. Would Second Madam be willing?"

An Bozi spoke up, his eyes filled with eagerness as he looked at Su Yingxue.

If it weren't for her, their entire manor would have been gone.

Now he has no other demands, he just wants to take his benefactor into his own bowl and serve him well.

"God-granddaughter?" Su Yingxue was even more surprised.

"Yes, my child, we know how hard you've been all these years. Before that, you hadn't met us. My husband and I didn't have a daughter, so we took your mother as our goddaughter to support her."

"Although you are our goddaughter by seniority, we feel it's too formal, so we'll pretend that your father is choosing a son-in-law himself."

"From now on, we'll support you and your child, how about that?"
