After dealing with Su Zhirou, Wei hurriedly left, as if there were wolves and tigers behind him.

Su Yingxue personally dragged Su Zhirou to the ancestral hall and thoughtfully placed a soft cushion for her.

"Little sister, this is all I can do for you. If you cause trouble again, I won't be able to help you..."

Su Zhirou wanted to cry but had no tears.

If she hadn't been bothering her, how could she have been punished?

Now look what happened! Not only was she beaten to a pulp by that bitch, but she also lost the upper hand with her mother-in-law.

This scumbag seems harmless most of the time, but I never expected her to be so shameless at a crucial moment.

"Sister, how could you frame me like this? Waaah... How am I supposed to live in this Duke's mansion after this?"

These words were tinged with deep resentment.

Su Yingxue suppressed a smile as she watched Su Zhirou's comical appearance—her head swollen like a pig's—while she feigned pitifulness.

"Sister, I'm just telling the truth. Who knew my mother-in-law would treat you so cruelly..."

Su Zhirou really wanted to say that Su Yingxue was the one who did it, but she opened her mouth and didn't dare to say anything.

The chill in his eyes made him want to tear Su Yingxue to pieces.

But she still maintained a well-behaved demeanor: "Sister, don't be so impulsive next time... Sister, please find me a doctor quickly."

No matter what, she can't be disfigured, can she?

She still wants to keep that face to seduce Xie Huaiyun.

Her good days will only truly begin if she seduces Xie Huaiyun, consummates their marriage, and gives birth to her and Xie Huaixuan's child to inherit the title.

Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue's face immediately scrunched up: "Little sister, let's forget about it. I can't agree to this."

"What do you mean? Did you do that on purpose, sister?" A fierce glint flashed in Su Zhirou's eyes.

Now is not the time to break ties with this bitch. She's become like this because of her, how can she just ignore it?

"Sister was trying to save her younger sister, wasn't she? It's you, younger sister, who misunderstood your sister..."

As Su Yingxue spoke, her eyes shone with a gentle light, as if she were not the one who had just been slapping someone so wildly.

Su Zhirou's lips twitched, but she still forced a smile: "Then why didn't you call a doctor for me, sister? Do you know how important a woman's appearance is?"

"Don't worry, little sister. I used a clever touch when I slapped you, so there's no chance of a scar. You just need to wait for the swelling to go down."

"If your mother-in-law finds out you called a doctor, things will likely turn out badly this time."

As she spoke, she raised her hand to brush away the stray hairs from Su Zhirou's face: "Alright, little sister, just stay here in this little ancestral hall and atone for your sins. Don't try to sow discord between your older sister and the prince again next time. If someone with ulterior motives hears this, you'll be in trouble again."

Su Zhirou really wanted to say that the person with the intention was clearly her, but when she met Su Yingxue's serious eyes, she swallowed her words.

So be it.

Now is not the time for debate.

Since she is heartless, don't blame her for being unjust!

Su Yingxue didn't stay long before turning around and leaving.

Su Zhirou instructed Dongxue: "Go and tell the young master about this. Remember, you must exaggerate the severity of her hitting me."

Winter Snow responded, "Yes!"

"Wait!" Su Zhirou was still uneasy and added, "You must tell the young master that I am innocent, that I was tortured into confessing, and that even my mother-in-law was misled by her, understand?"

"This servant understands."

Dongxue quickly arrived at Xie Huaiyun's courtyard, but Rong Jing blocked her way from the outside, so she couldn't get in at all.

"The Crown Prince is recuperating from illness; no one is allowed to enter!"

"Brother Rongjing, please be lenient! Our Crown Princess is being bullied by the Second Madam, and now she's being wrongly accused by the Old Madam of kneeling in the ancestral hall!"

"The Crown Princess is already in poor health; we absolutely cannot ignore this! Please inform the Crown Prince of this matter!"

Rong Jing remained expressionless: "The old lady has her own decisions on matters concerning the inner quarters; coming to find the young master will be of no use."

"Don't worry, young lady, the old lady knows what she's doing and will definitely not cause any trouble."

"The Crown Princess must have done something wrong to deserve this misfortune. Please leave, young lady."

Dongxue exclaimed anxiously, "Brother Rongjing, the Crown Princess is truly innocent! Besides, she is the Crown Prince's only wife. Why do you seem to be siding with the Second Madam?"

Although rumors say that Su Yingxue and Xie Huaiyun don't get along, Rong Jing is clearly on Su Yingxue's side!

Instead of standing up for his wife, he turns a blind eye to her situation. Is that acceptable?

"I've already said that matters concerning the inner quarters are not the Crown Prince's responsibility. He inherits the lineage of two families, and the First Madam is not his only consort. Besides, the First Madam angered the Crown Prince so much on their very first day of marriage; how could she possibly come to him for advice? The Crown Prince is still angry with the First Madam!"

Upon hearing this, Dongxue's expression changed: "Brother Rongjing, please enlighten me!"

If he can't win Xie Huaiyun's heart in the inner quarters, what good days will he have in the future?

Although establishing authority is also important this time.

But what's even more important is not that, but the prince's favor!

If the Crown Prince really has a problem with his wife, what good days will they have in the future?

"Actually, it's not difficult. Even a day as husband and wife is a hundred days of kindness. After all, the First Madam is the Prince's lawfully wedded wife. Just let the First Madam behave well, and over time, the Prince's resentment will naturally dissipate."

Upon hearing this, Dongxue's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Brother Rongjing!"

After saying that, the little girl skipped away.

Rong Jing smiled.

The young master's heart is not with Su Zhirou; no matter how much she twists and turns, it won't make a difference!

"Rongjing, is that really what you said? Is the young master angry with me?"

Su Zhirou was devastated when she learned of this.

She originally thought Su Yingxue would be her foil, but Su Yingxue suddenly seemed like a different person, and she became the foil instead.

it's good now.

She even lost the prince's heart; it's all that bitch's fault!

Thinking of Su Yingxue's actions, Su Zhirou's eyes flashed with hatred.

"Yes, Madam, the most important thing right now is to perform well. Don't trouble the young master with this kind of thing. Once you win his heart, he will definitely side with you," Dongxue advised earnestly.

Su Zhirou thought for a moment and nodded: "Alright, then let that bitch go this time!"

"Ouch~" Su Zhirou winced in pain as she pulled at her wound. "Alright, go and fetch a doctor."

"yes!"

The news from Su Zhirou's side came very quickly.

"The First Madam was turned away by the Heir Apparent, so it seems he still sides with you." Xia Zhi said with a delighted expression.

Su Yingxue, her face powdered with pearl powder, smiled upon hearing this: "Have all the doctors in the city been taken care of?"

"I've taken care of everything. I guarantee none of them will come to the manor to treat the First Madam!" Xia Zhi's lips curled into a wicked smile.

If we're talking about who's worse, who's worse than her young lady?

Even the big yellow dog that bit the young lady earlier has been torn to pieces by the rabid dog and died.

Not to mention Su Zhirou, who almost made the young lady lose face!

But how did her young lady become so intelligent?

That first wife was never a good person.

Upon hearing the news, Chunfen wanted to go out secretly to spread the word, but Su Yingxue stopped her: "Where are you going? Chunfen? You're not going to spread the news, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Chunfen's face paled instantly. She forced a fawning smile and said, "Miss, I'm still aching from the beating I received. I'd like to go back and rest as soon as possible..."
