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

She immediately burst into tears and wailed.

"Waaah, Madam, please save us! We don't want to become tomboys..." Xia Zhi was already terrified.

She is really scared.

scared.

Qiu Ye hurriedly explained, "Madam, we were afraid that if you knew about this, you would be too upset to recover properly, so we resorted to this desperate measure."

"Yes, madam, we really didn't mean it..."

Summer Solstice was already in tears.

Seeing the two little girls acting like this, Su Yingxue was both annoyed and amused.

Xia Zhi's reaction, in particular, dispelled the last bit of gloom in her heart.

"Alright, you two are being docked half a month's salary. If you dare to disobey again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The two girls' eyes lit up, as if they had been granted a pardon.

"Thank you, Madam!"

Su Yingxue's gaze fell on Xie Huaiyun, her voice low and menacing: "And what about you? How do you explain this?"

Seeing Su Yingxue's accusatory look, Rong Jing was about to take the blame upon himself when Xie Huaiyun interrupted him:

"I can explain, but we need to go inside and talk."

Su Yingxue's gaze fell on the man's handsome face.

The man was dressed in white, his clothes fluttering in the wind. He appeared calm and composed, and under the moonlight, his strikingly handsome face was captivating.

Also.

He is the heir apparent; I should probably give him some face.

If he loses face in front of his servants, he may never be able to hold his head high in front of them again.

"Alright, come in."

Su Yingxue entered the room first, followed by Xie Huaiyun.

The door was closed by the servants outside.

There were only two people left in the room.

The air was still, and the candlelight cast long shadows of the two people.

"Speak."

Su Yingxue sat down, her beautiful eyes lingering on the man.

That look was as if he had returned to the past.

But it doesn't seem like it's the same as before.

Xie Huaiyun looked at her, unconsciously clenching her fists, slightly nervous.

He originally thought she wouldn't know.

Unexpectedly, this girl was surprisingly clever for once.

She didn't know when it started, but she became completely different from Yu Hong before.

He used to be just as shrewd, but now, unlike before, he has gained a touch of wisdom.

She doesn't seem to love her second brother anymore.

But he wasn't sure.

I'm not sure if this was just for show.

After all, he had been defeated by this woman more than once over the years.

after all.

She loved him so passionately.

"Why didn't you say so?"

Su Yingxue looked at him with a hint of impatience: "In that case, let's go back."

She raised her hand to shoo her away, but Xie Huaiyun grabbed her hand, her voice urgent: "Wait!"

Su Yingxue raised her lips: "Speak."

This time, I'll keep it brief and to the point.

Xie Huaiyun knew that if she didn't say anything now, she would get angry.

But if I were to tell her about that, she might be afraid.

"I am on good terms with Prince Rui, and I need a weakness."

"I don't want that person to be you."

"So, you're deliberately distancing yourself from me?" Su Yingxue smiled. "Then what's next? Are you planning to get closer to Su Zhirou?"

"Um."

The man responded, his gaze towards Su Yingxue filled with sincerity: "You know, I don't want you to get hurt."

"But since you are in trouble today, I still couldn't help but go to your aid."

"Perhaps Prince Rui will become suspicious."

Su Yingxue smiled and said, "Isn't that simple? Just go and get close to Su Zhirou, and she'll punish me!"

"Aren't you angry?"

Xie Huaiyun looked at Su Yingxue with intense gaze.

Didn't you say you liked it? Why aren't you jealous at all?

really.

It's all an act.

It doesn't resemble it at all.

The light in the man's eyes gradually faded.

"Of course I'm angry, but the bigger picture is more important. I trust you, I won't actually touch her."

Su Yingxue stepped forward, grabbed the man's shirt, and forced him closer to her. Their eyes met, and their breaths became close.

"I don't believe you would betray me, and you should have enough trust in me as well."

"Xie Huaiyun, you should know that the people who should have been husband and wife were not strangers, but you and me."

These words made the man's heart skip a beat; his breathing became heavier, and his gaze deepened.

She said they were a couple?

Does this mean she's acknowledging his identity?

"So, do whatever you want to do."

I will be your support, not a burden.

After leaving Chaoyang Garden, the man originally intended to return to Mucang Garden, but then he changed course and went to Luoxia Garden instead.

When Dong Rong saw Xie Huaiyun arrive, she thought she was seeing things.

"Shi...Crown Prince?"

"How is the Crown Princess?"

The man's voice was calm, yet tinged with concern.

Su Zhirou, still sleeping restlessly on the bed, her face filled with terror: "No...no...I was wrong, I was wrong..."

Dong Rong felt a pang of sadness: "The Crown Princess has been unwell lately. I wonder what the Prince Rui's mansion has done to make her like this."

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess has suffered such injustice! Please, Your Highness, do justice for her..."

Dong Rong's tone was full of pleading; Xie Huaiyun had come all this way, and they couldn't just let her go.

Xie Huaiyun looked at Su Zhirou on the bed, his face expressionless, and sighed softly, "I am but a lowly prince, how can I possibly contend with Prince Rui?"

Fortunately, Prince Rui did not make things too difficult for me out of consideration for this young master.

"You take good care of your mistress. I will come to see her another day."

After saying that, Xie Huaiyun turned and left.

Helpless, Dong Rong could only kneel down: "Respectfully seeing off the Crown Prince."

No matter what, it's good that the Crown Prince still cares about his Crown Princess.

Then their Crown Princess will still have a chance to rise in status.

"No, no!"

Su Zhirou suddenly woke up, and the fear in her eyes gradually disappeared.

Dongrong hurriedly stepped forward: "Madam, it's alright, I'm here, nothing will happen..."

Su Zhirou's eyes gradually focused, and she looked at Dong Rong with some surprise: "Dong Rong?"

"Madam, you're finally all better!"

Dong Rong was overjoyed.

Su Zhirou's lips curled into a bitter smile: "Yes, I'm finally better. If I hadn't been lucky, how could I have recovered?"

"Madam, the young master came to see you just now, but seeing that you were asleep, he did not disturb you."

"What?" Su Zhirou was shocked. "He came to see me? How is that possible?"
