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

If we wait until we starve to death, it will probably be within the next few days.

"The Marquis is only angry with me for the moment. You know perfectly well what the Marquis thinks of me."

"The Marquis has always been very accommodating to me. This is the worst I've ever caused since I entered the manor. But it's all just for show for the young master. After all, I am the second young lady's birth mother. It would be strange if he really mistreated me."

Aunt Feng believed that Marquis Shunyang would forgive her soon, and she would naturally be able to truly resume her glorious life.

The old woman didn't speak, but saw Su Zhirou at the door: "Auntie, I think I saw the Second Miss. Is she starving?"

As the head servant of Consort Feng, she had no choice but to go hungry along with Consort Feng, which made her extremely miserable.

If it weren't for the fear of losing wealth and status, why would I need to do this?

"Zhirou?"

Aunt Feng also turned around to look and indeed saw Su Zhirou.

"Yes, I think I've gone mad with hunger too. Zhirou is enjoying a life of luxury at the Duke's mansion, how could she possibly be here?"

Regardless of Su Zhirou's situation, she is the Crown Prince's principal wife, a dignified Crown Prince's consort, and no one dares to neglect her.

Unlike herself, if she lost favor, she would be worse off than a servant.

Now he looks like he hasn't seen any meat for seven days.

They only get one meal a day, and it's always spoiled.

By this time, the two were so hungry they were seeing stars.

Unfortunately, that heartless Marquis of Shunyang was completely unaware of the situation; otherwise, he would have left long ago.

"Mother?!"

Su Zhirou was incredulous when she saw that Aunt Feng had lost a lot of weight. She took a step forward, and Aunt Feng realized that she was not dreaming at all, but that it was her real daughter.

"Daughter, why are you back? Don't you know the situation is special? Your aunt can't come out to meet you?"

Now that things have come to this, Aunt Feng has regained some of her figure and tidied her messy, frizzy hair.

Su Zhirou never expected that her aunt would become like this after only a short time apart.

I feel extremely upset.

"What's wrong with your father? How could he treat you like this?"

These words carried a strong sense of displeasure, for the former Marquis of Shunyang had once doted on the mother and daughter.

Now, there isn't a single servant in the entire courtyard.

The two were extremely haggard, almost skin and bones.

Before this, Su Zhirou simply couldn't believe that her aunt had been tormented to such an extent.

"It's nothing, it's just that your father hasn't thought things through yet. When the time comes, your father will still spoil me rotten."

"You know perfectly well that your father has always liked me. If I were to intervene, he would surely turn back."

These words made Su Zhirou's eyes redden even more.

What time is it? Aunt Feng is still trying to comfort herself.

When Granny Feng saw Su Zhirou return, hope shone in her eyes: "Second Miss is finally back! You have no idea how badly Aunt Tian has been bullying us... we're practically dying..."

"It's alright with the old servant, but even my aunt only gives me one meal a day, and it's spoiled."

"Those servants treated us like dirt, trampling us underfoot, as if they were afraid of contaminating us..."

"Waaah, Second Miss, you're finally back! You have to rescue us!"

Now, Su Zhirou is the last straw that Feng Pozi is clinging to.

If things continue like this, I'm afraid I'm doomed.

Su Zhirou's face was full of astonishment. She did not expect that the Marquis of Shunyang would treat Aunt Feng like this.

He always doted on the mother and daughter.

Why would someone do something like this now?

"What nonsense are you talking about? Rou'er, don't worry about your mother. I'm fine. You just need to live your life."

Aunt Feng knew that her daughter was having a hard time in the Duke's mansion, so she naturally didn't want to drag her down with her.

Moreover, the Marquis of Shunyang was her father and her powerful backer.

If it's because I offended my powerful backer.

Not worth the candle.

"Mother, what are you saying? How could your daughter possibly abandon you?"

Su Zhirou looked at Aunt Feng with sincerity in her eyes.

In this world, there are few people who are truly sincere towards her.

Aunt Feng is one of them.

Marquis Shunyang, however, may not be so.

After all, he treated his own mother like this, so he probably didn't care about his daughter at all.

Moreover, if Aunt Feng were in such a predicament, how could she possibly achieve her goal?

"But you are in the Duke's mansion..." Aunt Feng hesitated.

"It's alright, the young master isn't so angry anymore. I believe we'll be back to normal soon."

"real?!"

Aunt Feng's eyes lit up. "I knew my daughter would be alright. Ding can take him down."

She looked at Su Zhirou with a proud expression.

"Mother, Father has not returned yet. I will avenge you now."

Su Zhirou looked at Dongxue: "Go and invite Aunt Tian over."

"yes!"

When Aunt Tian learned that Su Zhirou had returned and was looking for her, her expression changed slightly: "Why is she back? What if she's deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"

If Su Zhirou had married poorly, that would be one thing, but she is the Crown Prince's consort.

Even if she wasn't favored, her status was still undeniable.

There was nothing he could do against his own concubine.

"Oh, Auntie, the Marquis has entrusted you with managing the household, what's there to be afraid of? The Second Miss is married now, how could she possibly control you?"

Granny Tian comforted her, "You don't need to be afraid of her. If it really comes to this, this old servant will have someone inform Madam."

Aunt Tian finally found her anchor: "Yes, yes, go quickly and tell Madam!"

Linxi Garden.

When the maids and servants saw Su Zhirou arrive, they didn't dare to continue making things difficult for Aunt Feng.

Instead, they served fruits and snacks one by one.

Aunt Feng and Granny Feng were finally able to have a full meal.

"My daughter, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would still be suffering now. You are truly my good daughter."

Aunt Feng's eyes sparkled as she looked at Su Zhirou.

As expected of her daughter, she is just like her.

Su Zhirou's eyes shone brightly, naturally revealing her pride.

Previously, it was her aunt who protected her.

It's different now.

She could now stand in a higher position and protect her aunt.

This feeling is really good.

Aunt Tian arrived late and bowed to Su Zhirou, saying, "This concubine greets the Crown Prince's Consort."

"Why didn't you say anything when you returned, Princess Consort? I would have gone out to greet you..."

Aunt Tian's voice was tinged with trepidation, and her beautiful eyes were fixed on Su Zhirou.

Su Zhirou curved her lips into a smile: "Aunt Tian has been throwing her weight around on my mother these past few days, she must be quite pleased with herself, right? I'm just a lowly princess consort, how could I possibly trouble Aunt Tian with my homecoming?"
