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

"Hey, as your partner, I still have a duty to remind you. Your behavior shows a lack of trust."

"If I were petty, I would have switched sides and killed you!"

Su Yingxue grinned, showing off her neat little white teeth, looking both cute and fierce.

The man smiled slightly, his voice as usual: "Yes, it was indeed my fault."

He raised his hand and stroked the little woman's face, his voice filled with a hint of pleasure.

No matter what, as long as she's willing to stay by his side now, that's enough.

Seeing that he had recovered somewhat, Su Yingxue also returned to her usual calm and composed demeanor.

"Alright, in that case, I'll head back now. If someone sees us whispering here, our plan will be ruined!"

The two of them specially chose a spot near an artificial hill, surrounded by their loved ones.

Nothing will happen.

Su Yingxue got up and left nimbly.

The man stared at the woman's departing figure, his eyes darkening slightly.

"Master, what is our next step?" Rong Jing asked respectfully as he stepped forward.

"Go check, the second son might really not be dead."

The man's face was gloomy, and he regained his usual cold and solemn demeanor, exuding a faint chill.

Rong Jing was astonished, but seeing his master's reaction, he didn't dare say anything and immediately agreed to leave.

Inside the house, the Duke of Fuguo was driven away by the Wei family, and they bestowed many gifts upon Su Zhirou.

Not only that, but he also gave Su Zhirou a lot of money as expenses for finding her son.

After all, it takes a lot of money to bribe officials at all levels.

This was the first time Su Zhirou had received a reward from the Wei family. She strolled around the entire Duke's mansion with the gifts before finally returning home.

"Madam, we've gained favor with the Old Madam, and even the Heir Apparent has softened his attitude towards you. Our lives in this Duke's mansion will be much easier from now on!"

Dong Rong was overjoyed, never expecting happiness to come so suddenly.

Su Zhirou's face was full of pride as she casually picked up a jade hairpin and gave it to her: "Here, this is for you."

Now that she's happy, Dong Rong naturally feels good about herself too.

Dong Rong was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Madam!"

Dongxue, who was standing to the side, saw this but did not say anything and just kept her head down.

Many times, this person has shown favoritism towards one side over the other.

In fact, they haven't even paid her enough for the past few months.

I wonder if they're just not sending enough to her.

She was extremely upset.

Fortunately, with the money Su Yingxue had given us before, we can get by for a while.

Su Zhirou glanced at the winter snow not far away and said in a calm voice, "If some people were more obedient and loyal, these things would be given to them too."

Dong Rong looked at Dong Xue not far away with a smug look on her face, "Yes, our Madam is very generous. As long as you are of one mind with Madam and always think of her, you will definitely receive a lot of favor."

"Money is not important; the key is to be loyal to the lady."

How could Dongxue not understand their pounding? She hurriedly knelt down:

"Yes, this servant will serve you wholeheartedly."

"You can go now."

Su Zhirou raised her hand, and Dongxue left, closing the door behind her.

Dong Rong looked slightly worried: "Madam, are we really going to bring the Second Young Master back? If we do, the person above will be very angry."

They haven't accomplished anything yet, so their situation is naturally quite awkward.

Su Zhirou lay on the chaise lounge, her expression unchanged. "What else can I do? She scared our son away herself. Does she think she can force me?"

"But with that old woman around, we'll be more financially comfortable in the future."

With the money, life at Luomei Courtyard improved significantly.

Before long, Dongxue's voice came from the doorway: "Madam, Auntie has arrived."

"Auntie?" Su Zhirou immediately stood up. "Please come in!"

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Feng rushed in.

"Good child, I'm so glad you're alright. Your auntie thought you'd never recover!"

Seeing that the moonlight was already deep and that Aunt Feng was traveling in black at night, Su Zhirou instantly realized that something was wrong.

"My daughter is alright."

"But Aunt, what are you doing...?"

Aunt Feng felt wronged, but not wanting her daughter to worry, she immediately spoke up: "Isn't it because I was afraid of disturbing others?"

"No! You're not usually this cautious. What's going on?!"

Su Zhirou's face immediately darkened.

She didn't know anything else, but she didn't even know her own aunt?

Aunt Feng was always very flamboyant, let alone now that she had gained fame as the Crown Prince's consort, she would never miss the chance to show off.

It's one thing if they don't swagger over during the day, but why would they be dressed in black at night?

So low-key?

Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Aunt Feng could only speak up: "It's all because of your eldest sister... sigh..."

"When I saw you like that yesterday, I went back and tried to sow discord between that little bitch and me. Your father believed me, and I thought that this would help you get some revenge."

"But I didn't expect Xie Huaiyun to have gone through with it. The mother and daughter had a huge fight and wanted a divorce. The prince forced me to confess my crimes. Now I've been punished by your father and have lost all face."

Aunt Feng sighed, "Your father doesn't know I've come out now. If he did, he definitely wouldn't let me see you."

"But now that I see you are alright, I feel a little relieved."

"You are a good child. Your mother has no other hopes but that you will live a good, happy, and healthy life..."

The more Su Zhirou listened, the more distressed she felt.

"Why?! Why does that bitch treat you like this?!"

These words were filled with deep concern: "The Crown Prince, I am the Crown Princess, why is he siding with that vile woman?!"

"Good boy, don't be impulsive. It's good that you're alright. The most important thing now is to get better."

Aunt Feng glanced at the table and noticed the abundance of gifts laid out on it, slightly surprised: "This is...."

Upon seeing these, Su Zhirou's expression softened somewhat: "These are all gifts from my mother-in-law."

"Mother, my life in the Duke's mansion is much better now, so you don't need to worry so much anymore."

As she spoke, she looked at Aunt Feng in front of her with anticipation.

Aunt Feng glanced at the gifts on the table; they were all genuine items.

Only then did she feel relieved: "In that case, Auntie can rest assured. Auntie has been out for some time now, so please take good care of yourself. Auntie is leaving now; if your father finds out, I'm afraid I won't have a good time..."

Aunt Feng's words struck Su Zhirou like a heavy blow: "Didn't Father used to dote on you the most? What's wrong with him now?"

No matter what happened before, Marquis Shunyang always sided with the mother and daughter.

Where did things come from today?

That's not right at all.

Could something have happened while she was away?

Aunt Feng sighed, "When Madam Qian was always obedient to the Marquis, I could still be compared to her. She used to manage most of the affairs in the manor, and I often made her angry. But now it's different. She doesn't care at all, and she doesn't even care about the Marquis anymore."

"You know the worst side of men. When Qian was clinging to him, he ignored her. Now that she doesn't like him anymore, he's all over her again..."

Now, she is not as favored as Madam Qian in the household.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she had been with Marquis Shunyang for so many years and could still see some of it.
