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

"What?! Can't Father see that this is Qian's scheme? A trick of playing hard to get, how could Father fall for it?!" Su Zhirou's face was full of displeasure.

How glamorous they were in the mansion in the past?

Even the principal wife wasn't as comfortable as them.

Now things are much better.

It's completely different now.

How can this be?

They, mother and daughter, are the true masters of the Marquis's mansion.

As for that bitch Qian, she only deserves to be trampled underfoot by them.

Now things are much better.

Madam Qian suppressed Consort Feng in the Marquis's mansion.

She was completely suppressed by Su Yingxue in the Duke's mansion.

How could she accept this?

"Of course I know this is her scheme. After all, she loves the Marquis so deeply, how could she just stop loving him like that?"

Madam Qian's face was pale as she looked at her daughter, "But I have no other choice, I really have no other choice..."

If a man's heart were with her, that would be fine, but now it's clear that the Marquis of Shunyang's heart is not with her.

They're not even focused on anything else, let alone anything else.

She might try to pull some tricks, but it's unlikely to work out.

"Mother, you can't just sit here and wait to die! If you do, I'm afraid you'll never have a chance to turn things around!" Su Zhirou pleaded earnestly.

They, mother and daughter, have worked so hard to get to where they are today, and they never wanted to give up all their efforts.

"Mother knows, Mother will find a way to handle this. It's getting late, Mother will be going now."

Aunt Feng stroked her daughter's face one last time, her eyes filled with reluctance, but she still gritted her teeth and left.

Su Zhirou felt a pang of sadness when she saw Aunt Feng's frail figure.

"You bitch! Don't worry, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

For acting.

Xie Huaiyun never went to Su Yingxue's courtyard again.

Dong Rong had been keeping a close eye on the situation on both sides, and she was overjoyed to see that Su Yingxue had completely fallen out of favor.

"Madam, I heard that the young master hasn't visited the second madam's place for two months. The second madam sends food there every day, but it's all been returned. It seems that the young master has grown tired of her."

Hearing this, Su Zhirou was somewhat shocked: "You've grown tired of me? So quickly?"

"Yes, who can argue with that? I thought the prince doted on her a lot, but it turns out it was just a passing fancy."

Dong Rong's tone was laced with sarcasm: "Now that the young master has abandoned her, it is the perfect time for you, my lord, to make your move."

These words reminded Su Zhirou, who smiled and said, "It's time to invite the young master over."

Dong Rong was very efficient, and the news quickly reached Xie Huaiyun's ears.

At that time, Xie Huaiyun was playing chess with Prince Rui in the study when he heard Rong Jing's announcement, and he was somewhat distracted.

Prince Rui smiled faintly: "Did I come at the wrong time? If it interferes with your relationship, then it is my fault."

Ultimately, Prince Rui still disliked Su Zhirou.

After all, in Prince Rui's eyes, this kind of woman was simply not presentable, and there were plenty of them in brothels.

He had no backbone whatsoever; when he was beaten, he scrambled and screamed like a madman.

Not only did it beg for mercy, it even imitated a lot of dog barks.

According to what is said below, at that time, she was willing to have sex with him as long as she could avoid punishment.

How could someone like that become his wife?

"Your Highness is joking. As you know, she and I never had any affection for each other. It was only because of our status as husband and wife that we could not be together."

These words were filled with deep sorrow and helplessness.

Prince Rui smiled faintly, "It seems Brother Huaiyun doesn't quite like this Crown Princess. Is there someone else in your heart?"

Xie Huaiyun shook her head, her face full of bitterness: "What love interest? It's just that fate is playing tricks on me..."

"Yes, speaking of which, Brother Huaiyun's wife should have been Miss Su, but now it can be considered a blessing in disguise. With your second brother gone, Brother Huaiyun is enjoying the blessing of having two wives, making others envious!"

"Heh~ Your Highness is joking again. My relationship with my second sister-in-law is like fire and water. I went to her courtyard a few times to try and smooth things over, but I didn't expect her to make a move again this time and ruin several of my shops."

"Let whoever wants to enjoy this kind of blessing of having multiple wives enjoy it."

These words carried a deep sense of helplessness.

Prince Rui saw through his thoughts: "Since you don't like any of them, I'll have someone send you a few later."

He wouldn't feel comfortable using it if it didn't have any weaknesses.

Ideally, there should be a woman who can keep him in check.

Sending over some women would be perfect for him to use as his spies. He could then completely trust them with anything he entrusted to them in the future.

"I do love beautiful women, but Your Highness, I..." Xie Huaiyun hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

"What can't you say to me?"

"Brother Huaiyun, don't you consider me a brother?" Prince Rui feigned anger.

"No, it's just that I'm willing but unable..."

Xie Huaiyun lowered her voice, leaned closer, and spoke with a hint of helplessness.

Prince Rui was taken aback, not expecting the rumors to be true.

He had heard rumors before that Xie Huaiyun was impotent, but he thought they were just rumors.

I never expected to hear Xie Huaiyun admit it herself at this moment.

His candor left him momentarily at a loss for words.

"Brother Huaiyun, you mustn't be joking with me..."

Prince Rui wore a fake smile.

Xie Huaiyun sighed, "Your Highness, given my current circumstances, how can I afford to joke around..."

"Both ladies are very nice, but I..."

Prince Rui suddenly realized something, "Is this your reason for protecting the Second Young Mistress?"

"Of course, since we've made her live like a widow, we should be more lenient with her; we can't lose face in public."

"After all, given our relationship, I'm afraid I can't do it without putting in something..."

Prince Rui suddenly realized.

He thought Xie Huaiyun was lying to him, deliberately trying to have some kind of relationship with Su Yingxue.

I never expected it to be fake.

The reason was that Xie Huaixuan was impotent, unable to have children, and unable to provide them with sexual pleasure.

No wonder...

I heard that he is now very kind to Su Zhirou.

That's definitely a case of someone having a change of heart...

Prince Rui looked at him, and for a moment he was at a loss.

But if a woman can't hold him back, is this person even usable?

Xie Huaiyun then added, "I'm not afraid to tell you, Your Highness, but these two ladies have very high expenses, and I've soon found myself struggling to make ends meet... I wonder if Your Highness could lend a hand?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Rui breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Greed is good!

Greed is good!

"Of course, Brother Huaiyun, there's no need to be so polite. I will naturally provide you with whatever you require."

"Then thank you very much, Your Highness."

Xie Huaiyun bowed to Prince Rui.

Prince Rui smiled and said, "Alright, I won't disturb you from comforting your wife. I've been out for so long, the princess must be worried."

"Your Highness, this humble subject respectfully sees you off!"

Xie Huaiyun stood up, bowed, and remained so until Prince Rui left, a cold smile curving her lips.

"Young Master, shall we go to Luomei Courtyard?" Rong Jing asked, entering the room with a curious expression.

The man didn't say anything, but stepped out of the house.

Luomei Courtyard.

Seeing Dong Rong return, Su Zhirou asked somewhat anxiously, "How did it go? Did the young master say he was coming?"
