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

Wei Shi was hysterical; she didn't seem like a mother.

She seems more like a wicked woman.

How could she do this to her own child?

Xie Huaiyun stood there stunned, while Su Yingxue's eyes flashed with heartache.

Xie Huaiyun knew that she and the Wei family had a bad relationship, but she didn't expect it to be this bad.

Not to mention the person involved, even she, an outsider, felt extremely upset upon hearing these words.

"What did you say?" The Duke of Fuguo's voice turned cold.

Wei finally realized what was happening, her expression changed, and a fake smile appeared on her lips: "Good child, Mother was wrong, Mother was just impulsive..."

Xie Huaiyun didn't speak, but her eyes were devoid of light as she looked at Wei Shi. "It's alright."

He didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

Xie Huaiyun sighed and hurriedly followed.

"Xie Huaiyun!"

Su Zhirou wanted to follow, but Wei Shi held her back tightly, and she could only watch helplessly as Su Yingxue chased after her out the door.

Xie Huaiyun ignored her and went straight out of the courtyard.

"Xie Huaiyun, wait for me!"

The man walked very fast, his clothes fluttering, clearly showing that he was angry.

The two maids followed hurriedly. The man walked for a while before finally stopping beside a rockery.

Su Yingxue stepped forward, and the maids consciously kept their distance.

"Xie Huaiyun, you don't necessarily have to play the role of a loving mother and filial son with her, do you?"

The man pursed his lips and remained silent.

Realizing she had stabbed someone in the heart, Su Yingxue felt a little embarrassed: "Hehe, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I just wanted to tell you that no matter what, you're still a good person. Although you're not favored by your mother, you're still a pillar of the court with a bright future..."

Xie Huaiyun: "..."

Seeing that she seemed to have said something wrong, Su Yingxue spoke again: "Actually, your brother wasn't much better off than you. Although he was loved by your mother until his death, he's already dead. Can you finally feel a little better, you short-lived devil?"

"But he had his mother's love until his death. Even though he's gone, it doesn't matter; he'll live on in her heart forever. Unlike me, I'm not even as good as a dead person..."

The man gave a self-deprecating laugh, but seemed even more melancholy.

Su Yingxue was surprised that her sharp tongue could persuade someone to this extent, and she felt slightly embarrassed for a moment.

"But you still have me. I'm still on your side."

As Su Yingxue spoke, she winked at Xie Huaiyun.

Xie Huaiyun's smile grew even more bitter: "You still like him? You're in love with him? To you, I'm still not as good as that dead man."

Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue was instantly speechless.

What does she need to say?

She said she didn't like her husband?

She said that Xie Huaixuan was the person she hated the most.

Tell him not to misunderstand?

But Xie Huaiyun didn't believe it, and even she wouldn't believe it.

After all, his previous actions were truly outrageous.

"Um, if I said I don't like him anymore, would you believe me?"

Su Yingxue felt a little embarrassed, her gaze falling on the man, slightly uneasy.

I should have kept quiet.

She was comforting someone for no reason; anyone who didn't know better would think she was stirring up trouble.

The man stared straight at him, with an expression that seemed to say, "What do you think?"

Su Yingxue's lips twitched, and she instantly realized that she had said too much.

Rong Jing, standing to the side, was completely bewildered.

"My two elder sisters, do you think your mistress is trying to provoke us? Or is she using a different, subtle way to punish our young master?"

The two girls exchanged a glance and glared at Rong Jing.

They had no idea what their young mistress was saying.

She had clearly promised to reconcile with the Crown Prince.

it's good now.

Every sentence is barbed.

Hearing these words, the crown prince must have been dead for a while now, right?

"Actually, you don't need to stab my heart with such a subtle knife. You can simply go back to how you were before." Xie Huaiyun's voice was indifferent, tinged with a sense of death.

There was no light in his eyes now, as if he didn't care whether he was alive or dead.

Su Yingxue chuckled, surprised at how poor she was at persuading people.

"Xie Huaiyun, can you please stop looking so bitter and resentful? It's already happened, and there's nothing you can change."

"I can tell that Lady Wei really doesn't like you much, so why bother making a fool of yourself?"

If his mother had loved him from birth, that would have been fine.

If you're not born loving, why bother getting entangled in all this nonsense?

Can't we just live a normal life?

Xie Huaiyun looked at her with a bright light in her eyes, and after a long while, she slowly spoke: "Actually, what you said makes some sense."

Su Yingxue's eyes lit up. "Right? I knew I had a knack for persuading people."

"If your mother had loved and protected you since you were little, that would be one thing. But since she didn't value you at all, why should you value her?"

"Actually, I think it's quite good not to have my mother's interference."

Su Yingxue pouted: "You know my situation. If my mother could have escaped that den of wolves, I wouldn't be so heartbroken..."

"Now it's all over. Not only am I still that person's daughter, but I also have to go back every now and then and face that whole family's chaotic mess."

As Su Yingxue spoke, she sat down on the stone stool, resting her chin on her hands, her eyes filled with melancholy: "In the end, I don't like Aunt Feng, I don't like Su Zhirou, and I especially don't like that so-called father."

"Besides being gigolos, they're disgusting; just thinking about it gives me the creeps."

Hearing this, Xie Huaiyun's gaze was intense, her eyes filled with pity: "You've suffered quite a bit of injustice."

"Of course!"

"Compared to me, you're in a much better situation. You're so grown up now, you're way past the age where you need your mother. Let her do what she wants, what does it have to do with you?"

"Since she likes the second young master, let her like him. What can a dead man do to her anyway?"

"But what if he... isn't dead?"

The man suddenly spoke, and what he said was astonishing.

"Not dead?"

Su Yingxue's eyes widened in surprise: "How did you know?"

Seeing Su Yingxue so agitated, Xie Huaiyun's lips curled into a bitter smile.

really.

She still cares.

These days, I've been pretending not to care.

Actually, I care about it a lot.

It cannot withstand the slightest test.

Su Yingxue realized the man was getting the wrong idea again, and looked at him with displeasure: "Hey, you're not... trying to trick me, are you?"
