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

Su Zhirou gave a coquettish laugh: "You know I've been wronged, don't you? If I hadn't been quick-witted, we wouldn't be here together right now."

"And then there's the matter of Princess Rui. I always felt it wasn't that simple."

"My earring was lost before the banquet, so it's obvious that someone deliberately framed me."

Xie Huaixuan's face instantly darkened: "Could it be Su Yingxue?"

"Besides her, who else can't stand me?"

Su Zhirou leaned against Xie Huaixuan's chest, her voice muffled, and said, "Waaah, you have no idea what kind of life I had in the Duke's mansion. You'll have to make it up to me later!"

She was isolated and helpless during this time, and she felt extremely wronged.

Now that she has finally met Xie Huaixuan, she naturally wants to tell him about her grievances.

If things go well in the future, he'll have to make it up to himself.

"Don't worry, once we've made it happen, you will be my only wife. I will cherish you and pamper you, holding you in the palm of my hand and keeping you in my mouth."

"Ugh~"

Su Zhirou gave a coquettish laugh and slapped the man in front of her on the chest.

"Alright, since you're alright, proceed with the plan properly. If it really doesn't work out, I'll come back."

Before Su Zhirou could say anything more, Wei Shi's voice came from the doorway: "Get out of the way! I want to see who she's coming out to see even though she's sick!"

"Madam, it's just a friend of yours inside. Please don't make things difficult for me."

Dong Rong raised her voice, loud enough for Su Zhirou inside to hear.

Su Zhirou's alarm bells went off instantly: "What do we do? Your mother's here?"

Xie Huaixuan's expression changed; this was his mother, who had doted on and loved him since childhood.

She was probably the most heartbroken person by faking her own death.

He simply had no choice.

He wanted to prove himself.

He wanted to prove that his pampered son was no less capable than his older brother.

Since those people didn't believe him, he decided to prove them with his actions.

"Mother......."

Xie Huaixuan took a step towards the door, but Su Zhirou interrupted him: "What are you doing? Now is not the time for you to show up. If you really show up and ruin the situation, we'll all die!"

Su Zhirou's voice carried a warning, instantly pulling Xie Huaixuan back to reality.

Helpless, Xie Huaixuan could only jump out of the window and leave.

Just then, Wei burst through the door, stormed forward, and slapped Su Zhirou across the face: "Where's the adulterer? I want to see who he is!"

She looked around and saw a familiar figure in the crowd outside the window, and froze instantly: "Brother Xuan!"

She shouted urgently, but the figure disappeared into the crowd without hesitation.

"Go! Go after him! Bring Xuan-ge'er back to me!"

Wei was extremely anxious, her eyes filled with grief.

She was overjoyed to finally find Xuan Ge'er.

This was someone she had finally found after a long and difficult journey.

It turns out her son wasn't dead, he really wasn't dead.

Su Zhirou hurriedly spoke up, "Mother-in-law, I finally found the person and was just about to take them back when you barged in and scared them away!"

She took the initiative, and the servants rushed out to find someone, while Wei Shi was stunned.

"You mean that person really is Xuan-ge'er?"

Wei Shi's eyes were full of urgency as she reached out and grabbed Su Zhirou's sleeve.

Su Zhirou sighed helplessly, "Mother, he really does look exactly like the Second Young Master, but I don't know if it's him. In order not to let you get your hopes up for nothing, I specifically asked him. I didn't expect you to suddenly barge in. He was already uneasy, and when he saw you coming in so aggressively, he was scared away..."

These words instantly plunged Wei Shi into despair.

Wei Shi never imagined that her impulsive act would cause her to miss the chance to meet her son.

That person really misses her Xuan-ge'er.

Her intuition told her that it was her Xuan-ge'er.

"Then what do we do? What do you suggest we do?"

Wei roused himself and grabbed Su Zhirou's sleeve as if it were his last lifeline.

Su Zhirou looked at Wei Shi, her eyes filled with a hint of helplessness.

"Mother-in-law, I don't know what to do now. This is news I finally got, and now I can only go back and wait."

Su Zhirou shrugged.

Wei Shi was filled with deep regret.

I don't know what happened to me, but I missed meeting my son.

She was furious, her face turning pale and then flushed.

He simply blacked out and passed out.

"Mother-in-law!"

Upon learning that Lady Wei had fainted, Su Yingxue rushed to Lady Wei's courtyard.

She hadn't expected that Wei would faint.

She was just passing on a message; Wei Shi was usually very healthy, but I never expected her to be so emotionally fragile.

The courtyard was already in chaos, and even Xie Huaiyun and the Duke had been summoned back.

"What exactly happened?" Xie Huaiyun asked, frowning.

"Yes, why did your mother-in-law suddenly faint?" The Duke of Fuguo's eyes were full of worry.

They all turned to look at Su Zhirou, who sighed, somewhat helplessly: "My mother-in-law just saw someone who looked a lot like the second young master, perhaps because she misses him too much..."

Upon hearing this, the father and son exchanged a glance and remained silent.

The Duke of Fuguo's eyes were red-rimmed: "This rebellious son is gone, yet he still bothers his mother. And you, why didn't you try to persuade your mother-in-law?"

As the Duke of Fuguo spoke, he took Weishi's hand, his voice tightening: "And you, at your age, do you still think there's some kind of magic trick involving bringing the dead back to life?"

"Our child is gone, gone..."

As if she had heard something, Lady Wei suddenly stood up: "Zhirou, come here!"

She gripped Su Zhirou's hand tightly, her eyes filled with fervor: "You must bring my Xuan-ge'er back! You must bring my Xuan-ge'er back!"

These words conveyed a deep sense of reluctance and sorrow.

The Duke of Fuguo's voice was deep and somber: "What nonsense are you spouting? Our child is already gone, why are you making things difficult for your daughter-in-law?"

"Zhirou, don't listen to her. Your mother-in-law is old and probably confused."

As the Duke of Fuguo spoke, he tried to pull Weishi's hand back, but found that she was holding onto Su Zhirou's arm and wouldn't budge.

He was a grown man, yet he couldn't quite pull him away.

The Duke of Fuguo was momentarily dejected.

This lady was usually too weak to lift anything, but I never expected her to be so strong.

"Good child, your mother-in-law will no longer suspect you. You must find Xuan-ge'er for me, you must find him for me!"

At this moment, Su Zhirou was her only lifeline.

If she can find Xuan-ge'er once, she can find him twice; and if she misses him twice, she can find him a third time.

Her intuition told her that Xuan-ge was still alive.

Her children are still alive!

"Mother, stop making a scene. My second brother is already dead," Xie Huaiyun said in a somber voice.

"No! He's not dead!"

Wei Shi was hysterical, and Xie Huaiyun was stunned, as if she had returned to that time of favoritism.

Since my second brother passed away, my mother has stopped speaking harshly to me as she used to.

Seeing Wei Shi like this, he felt as if he had returned to the past.

When my second brother was alive, Wei Shi's attitude towards me had always been the same.

After a period of calm, he felt somewhat uncomfortable when he reappeared.

It wasn't until his second brother passed away that he realized his mother could actually be kind to him.

It turns out they can be together peacefully.

But now, everything seems to have returned to square one.

Upon seeing this, the Duke of Fuguo hurriedly spoke up: "Good heavens, how can you be so cruel to our child? Didn't you promise to treat our son well?"

Madam Wei's eyes reddened with anger: "He'd rather Xuan-ge'er never come back, so he can possess me, possess my love!"

"I'm telling you, that's impossible! My dearest son is Xuan-ge! Anyone who crosses him is my enemy!"
