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

After much deliberation, she decided to keep it a secret.

If that vile woman can keep it a secret for the young master, and I expose this matter, I'm afraid I'll have even less place to stay in the Duke's mansion in the future.

She's come this far with great difficulty, not to be someone else's stepping stone.

Ultimately, it's all for their own future wealth and glory.

"Actually, it's because the young master had something urgent to attend to that he had to leave. Mother-in-law, please don't worry about it. I'll go and look for the second young master when I have time."

With Xie Huaixuan as her bargaining chip, Su Zhirou is no longer afraid of the Wei family.

Upon hearing the news of having a second son, Wei Shi indeed put the matter out of her mind.

"It would be best if you kept this in mind. If we could find Xuan-ge'er sooner, it would relieve a great worry for me."

Wei's eyes were full of eagerness, filled with anticipation for Su Zhirou.

Su Zhirou raised her hand and patted Wei Shi's hand, her voice calm: "Mother-in-law, rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter properly and will never let you down."

Upon hearing this, Wei Shi's eyes brightened even more.

the other side.

Su Yingxue finally remembered that the Anyang Earl's family had come to her last time to talk about recognizing relatives, so she returned to the Marquis's residence.

Last time I came in a hurry, and some things happened during that time, so I overlooked some things.

At this moment, her face was radiant. When Madam Qian saw her, she was slightly surprised: "Daughter, why are you back? Did you suffer some injustice?"

Wei Shi subconsciously thought that Su Yingxue had been wronged, but looking at Su Yingxue's radiant appearance, it didn't seem like it.

"No, Mother, I'm doing very well."

Su Yingxue stepped forward and took Wei's hand: "I have some good news to tell you, Mother."

Madam Wei breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at her daughter: "What good news?"

Her gaze swept over her daughter, finally settling on Su Yingxue's belly.

Realizing that Wei Shi had misunderstood, Su Yingxue quickly said, "That's not it."

"Mother, what are you thinking about...?"

She's never even been with Xie Huaiyun, how could she possibly be pregnant?

With Xie Huaiyun's appearance, it would be strange if she could get pregnant.

If she could, she really wanted to have Xie Huaiyun's child.

This way, she can have a child for him sooner, which can be considered as repaying his kindness.

"Logically speaking, you've been married for over five months now, and given how often your son-in-law visits your room, you should be pregnant by now..."

After a moment's thought, Madam Wei said, "Good child, I was wrong before. I know I was wrong. Now I don't ask for anything else, I only ask that you be well."

"Your husband in name is gone, and now you can only have the Crown Prince in your heart. No matter what others say, you must not belittle yourself."

"Hurry up and have a child so you can gain a foothold in the Duke's mansion."

Since things had come to this point, all Qian could do was advise her daughter.

After all, she knew what her own daughter was thinking before.

But things didn't go as planned.

Now that the heir apparent has inherited the title, her heart can only belong to the heir apparent.

In the future, he can only rely on the crown prince.

"Your mother is unfortunate and has no family support, but you are different. You are the daughter of the Marquis. Although the relationship between you and your father is not very close, he is still your support."

Ms. Qian's face was full of worry; she even hated herself for being useless.

If they had a powerful family to rely on, how could they, mother and daughter, have suffered so much all these years?

"Your mother asks for nothing else, only that you be well, that you live a good life from now on... Your mother is useless, your mother is sorry..."

Su Yingxue naturally understood what Qian Shi meant by those words, as Qian Shi had never had a family to rely on.

It wasn't for any other reason, but because my maternal grandmother died early, and my maternal grandfather married another woman at a young age.

Fortunately, before her death, her maternal grandmother had taken care of everything for her mother and brought a lot of fakes to the Marquis's mansion.

These merchants stubbornly believed that the homes of officials and gentry were a haven of good fortune.

Little did they know, this Marquis's mansion was a ruthless and heartless place.

This is no paradise; it's clearly a den of wolves.

When my maternal grandmother was still alive, my mother could go back to her parents' home to cry and complain.

But it wasn't until her maternal grandmother passed away that the new bride entered the household.

Everything has changed.

Su Yingxue looked at Qian Shi, whose eyes were red-rimmed, and felt a pang of sorrow in her heart: "Mother, I don't blame you. How can I blame you? It's just that this world is too harsh on us."

"Fortunately, I managed to find a way out for my mother."

Ms. Qian was confused: "What?"

What did that child do?

"Some time ago, didn't my daughter save Princess Rui? As a result, she accidentally saved the Anyang Earl's family from harm. The Anyang Earl and his wife are grateful for my kindness and are willing to become my mother's family. They even asked me to come and ask if you would be willing."

Mr. Qian found it unbelievable.

"The Earl of Anyang? He's a three-generation elder statesman, and he's going to be my maternal family member? Are you kidding me?"

This kind of thing doesn't seem very reliable no matter how you look at it.

Perhaps it was just her daughter trying to cheer her up.

Mr. Qian simply couldn't believe it.

"Mother, what kind of joke would I have with you about something like this?" Su Yingxue's lips curled into a faint smile. "If you're not willing, I'll just cancel the matter. The choice is ours."

Seeing her daughter's confident demeanor, Madam Qian was momentarily stunned.

she?

Rejecting the Anyang Marquis's overtures?!

No matter how you look at it, it's impossible.

For sixteen years she's been holed up in the inner quarters, living a life of mediocrity. And now she actually has this kind of opportunity?

To the point where I could laugh in my dreams.

Although the Earl of Anyang's title is not as high as that of a Marquis, he still has a deep family background, not to mention that his children are all successful.

Madam Qian was beaming with pride: "Daughter, is the Earl of Anyang really willing to become family with us?"

"certainly."

Su Yingxue's lips still held a smile.

In her past life, she harmed her mother; in this life, she naturally wants to make sure her mother lives a good life.

Since they look down on their background, then elevate their status so that no one can look down on them anymore.

"good!"

Madam Qian agreed to the matter, and the next day she took Su Yingxue to the Marquis of Anyang's residence.

The Earl of Anyang and his wife originally thought that Qian had refused because she hadn't made a move for so long, but now that they saw Qian bringing Su Yingxue over, they were overjoyed.

"My dear child, we've been waiting for you like the stars and the moon!"

Mrs. Bai pulled the mother and daughter to sit down, and they were very warm and friendly.

When Qian saw Bai, her eyes reddened.

Whether it was fate or not, Bai Shi bore a striking resemblance to her deceased mother.

Unconsciously, Ms. Qian felt a sense of closeness to him.

"What's wrong? Did something happen? Don't worry, I know everything. From now on, you're my daughter, and this old woman will stand up for you!"

Bai gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Qian's eyes.

She had no daughters, only two sons.

Although the two have each started their own families and have a granddaughter, she has now been sent to the palace.

The rest were all stinky men, and Bai found them uninteresting.

Unfortunately, she was not blessed with daughters; her health deteriorated after giving birth to her second son.

Otherwise, I would definitely want to have a daughter.

Now that I've met Ms. Qian, it feels like we've known each other forever.

Ms. Qian looked exactly like the daughter she had imagined.

Mrs. Bai was certain that this was her daughter.

"Grandmother, now that Mother has accepted this marriage, I will not stand on ceremony from now on!"

Su Yingxue also had a bright smile on her face.

She didn't feel anything; she never cared about these material possessions.

But what's wrong with marrying into wealth and status for the sake of one's mother?

As long as it achieves its purpose.

Fortunately, the Earl of Anyang and his wife were good people; otherwise, he would not have associated with them.

Mrs. Qian was overjoyed and kowtowed to the couple:

"Daughter greets her parents!"
