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

These words shocked not only Su Yingxue, but also Wei Shi.

She never expected that Su Yingxue would have such good fortune, actually winning the favor of the Marquis of Anyang's mansion.

Both sons of the Marquis of Anyang were very accomplished; one was a fourth-rank general, and the other was a fourth-rank censor.

Not to mention that her own granddaughter was the favored Consort Qi, which was incredibly wealthy.

If she were to truly establish a kinship with the Earl's family, her status would rise by more than just one level.

"what?"

Su Yingxue hesitated slightly, and Wei Shi, who was standing beside her, quickly spoke up: "You child, what a great opportunity! Hurry up and go forward to call for help!"

They not only took themselves in, but also took Qian Shi in with them.

If you agree, your status will rise dramatically.

Su Yingxue hesitated for a moment: "This matter is of utmost importance. May I go back and tell my mother?"

"That's good, indeed a good child. He even knows to listen to his mother..."

Su Yingxue's lips twitched.

You can praise this?

After enjoying her caresses for a few days, Aunt Feng heard about Su Zhirou being imprisoned in the inner prison.

She hurriedly knelt down and pleaded with Marquis Shunyang, "My lord, our daughter didn't do it on purpose! If we really let it go, she might lose her life!"

She knew perfectly well who Prince Rui was.

If someone like Prince Rui were to fall into her hands, what good would come of it?

Marquis Shunyang's face was full of impatience: "The person has been in there for two days already. Don't you think it's too late for you to come begging to me now?"

Aunt Feng said with a mournful face, "I've been busy with household affairs, how would I know about the affairs of the Duke's mansion? If it weren't for Granny Feng going to see Zhirou, I'm afraid I would still be kept in the dark."

"My lord, Zhirou is our daughter. Are you really going to abandon her?"

These words were filled with deep sorrow. At this moment, Aunt Feng was extremely anxious and wished she could fly to the inner prison immediately to be punished in place of her daughter.

After all.

That was also her only child.

The person she cherishes most.

"I never said I would let it go, but she will be released tomorrow. Going to the inner prison now will not only fail to save her, but may also anger Prince Rui."

Marquis Shunyang's face darkened: "You should know who Prince Rui is. With Xie Huaiyun around, he won't disrespect him."

"Zhirou will be fine; at most, she'll just suffer some physical pain."

This means that one should stay out of it.

Consort Feng's face turned pale instantly: "My lord, didn't you dote on Zhirou the most? You said before that you would always be Zhirou's support, what's going on now?"

"Zhirou is your own daughter. If we let this go unchecked, what if Prince Rui really harms her?"

"Should we wait until everything is beyond repair before taking action?"

Aunt Feng never expected that Marquis Shunyang would say such cold-blooded and heartless words.

Isn't that his biological daughter?

He used to love me so much, so why does he, my biological father, hide away now that something's happened?

How can this be?

With her around, this kind of thing would never be allowed to happen.

When the Marquis of Shunyang saw that Consort Feng was in tears, he sighed deeply.

He bent down to help Aunt Feng up, his voice softening slightly: "I know you're worried about her. I am her father, how could I not be worried about her?"

"But she's only concerned with a trivial matter. Since the Princess is unharmed, how could Zhirou be in danger?"

"Besides, isn't the young master on good terms with the prince? With that relationship, are you really worried about Zhirou getting into trouble?"

"It was just that Prince Rui felt sorry for his wife and took his anger out on Zhirou."

"We parents don't need to get involved in this matter. If you ask me, managing this household well is more important than anything else."

"I'm really worried, so I'll go to the Duke's mansion tomorrow and bring some tonics."

"Can......"

Before Aunt Feng could say anything more, Marquis Shunyang's expression darkened slightly: "Enough, do you intend to make things difficult for me?"

"I have been more than kind to you, and I have always treated the children well. As you know, I have always pampered you, and you, a concubine, have lived a more comfortable life than the principal wife."

"Now, on such a crucial matter of right and wrong, do not disappoint me."

If it weren't for the fact that Aunt Feng had been giving money to the Marquis's mansion these days, making it less shabby than before, why would he have given her such a kind look?

She's just a concubine, how dare she disobey his wishes?

He is a marquis.

This Marquis's mansion is a nightmare!

Even if it were Madam Qian, she would have to be obsequious to him, let alone a concubine.

Upon thinking of the Qian family, the Marquis of Shunyang's face darkened.

The Qian family is now beyond his control.

Even Qian's coldness made him feel a little uneasy.

Aunt Feng cried until her eyes were red, and only when she saw that Marquis Shunyang was truly angry did she stop.

"In that case, Your Excellency must compensate our Zhirou..."

Knowing that this man was ungrateful and heartless, she naturally had no intention of getting entangled with him any further.

But she still wanted to fight for her child's rights.

After all, they are their own flesh and blood.

Upon hearing this, Marquis Shunyang sighed, "She was unlucky this time. Since she has learned her lesson, go to the storeroom and get a thousand-year-old ginseng to nourish her body."

Aunt Feng was overjoyed.

There were some gifts in the storeroom that she hadn't dared to touch.

Now the Marquis of Shunyang actually wants to give one to her child.

It couldn't be better.

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

"However, we must not let her act so recklessly again; we must be very careful."

"yes!"

Early the next morning.

Su Zhirou was then sent back intact.

He appeared unharmed, but his face was pale and he seemed dazed.

"lady!"

Dong Rong stepped forward and examined Su Zhirou carefully. Seeing that Su Zhirou had no injuries, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm so glad you're alright, Madam. I was so worried about you..."

"The person has been delivered, I'll be leaving now."

After saying this, Ji Er turned and left with his guards.

"No, it wasn't me... please... don't..."

Su Zhirou's face turned pale, and Madam Wei said unhappily, "Take the Crown Princess back immediately! It'll save her from embarrassment at the gate!"

Dong Rong was pale and was about to return with Su Zhirou.

"I never imagined my daughter would be treated so badly in the Duke's mansion!"

Aunt Feng stepped forward and embraced Su Zhirou. Seeing her daughter's pale face, her heart broke.

Her eyes reddened, and she glared fiercely at Madam Wei: "She is, after all, the lawfully wedded daughter-in-law of the Duke's mansion. Why do you treat my daughter with such contempt? Don't you know she has just returned and needs comforting?"

Seeing that Su Zhirou was unharmed, Aunt Feng glared fiercely at Madam Wei.

Lady Wei was surprised that Concubine Feng would come. She frowned slightly and said in a calm voice, "You are her concubine? Indeed, your concubine has not learned any manners."

"She was the one who made the mistake, do you expect me to carry her in a sedan chair?"

"You not only humiliated me, but also my daughter? Is this the kind of upbringing the Duke's mansion has? Heh~ It was said in the capital that the Duke's mansion had very strict family rules, and that the matriarch was extremely well-educated and reasonable. Now it seems I was truly wrong!"

Aunt Feng was furious.

You can talk about her, but talk about her daughter.

That's impossible!

"What are you doing, a mere concubine, jumping around in front of me? With a mother like you, why aren't you hiding at home instead of coming out and making a fool of yourself? Are you trying to constantly remind everyone that your daughter is a concubine's child?"

These words were laced with sarcasm, and Aunt Feng's face changed drastically: "In-laws, we are in-laws! So what if she's a concubine? She's still married into your Duke's mansion, isn't she? Now that she's your daughter-in-law, you have to treat my daughter well, otherwise, if I find out, I'll make a scene every time!"
