Su Xiyue ignored her confusion, held her hand, and entered the house.
The servants are all shrewd. Looking at this posture, most of the slaves have retreated outside the house, leaving only two confidants guarding the door. There are only two or three servants in the house.
"Sister-in-law, please stop crying and tell me what's going on? You and your brother have always had a good relationship, so why did you get into a quarrel?"
"If we want to talk about this, we have to start with that Hongxiu. It was originally that Hongxiu did something wrong. I just punished her by kneeling in front of the door for half an hour. Unfortunately, when Ah Zhi saw her, she fainted.
In the yard, Ah Zhi said that I treated my servant harshly, which was detrimental to the reputation of the Marquis House. He also mentioned that she was given by my grandmother. Even if I punished her, I should take my grandmother's face into consideration. I couldn't get angry at the moment.
I quarreled with him for a few words, but who would have thought that he would?"
Hearing this, Su Xiyue understood it all too well, shook her head and sighed, "Sister-in-law, has she ever asked my brother why he favors this girl?"
"Do you still need to ask? First he blamed me for punishing her, and then he rested in the study in anger. Isn't this obvious?"
"Sister-in-law, are you sure that Hong Xiu is actually married to my brother?"
Cheng Zilan's face turned a little pale, and she nodded reluctantly.
Seeing that the princess was here to make decisions for her young lady, the bridegroom next to Cheng Zilan replied, "I would also like to ask the princess to make decisions for my lady." Early the next morning, someone found Hongxiu lying there, and there was something on the quilt.
With Luo Hong, the prince didn't say anything, but he came to the courtyard twice, but was blocked by the young lady."
"Sister-in-law, why can't you calm down and think about it carefully, where is the problem between you and your brother? You don't trust your brother, so you gave that Hongxiu an opportunity! That Hongxiu, I just said
See, he is indeed a difficult person to deal with."
"Sister Yue, you have to stand by my side! If you don't want to help me speak, wouldn't I?" With that, Cheng Zilan started crying again.
"Okay, sister-in-law, please stop crying. Come and see if the Crown Prince is back? Just say that I am waiting for him here and invite him to come and talk."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The people outside are not fools. When they heard that Su Xiyue called herself "I am the palace" instead of "I am the young lady", I knew that the second young lady was angry. But, specifically, whether she was helping the prince or his wife,
But they couldn't guess it.
Soon someone came back and said, "His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince has returned home. Now he is in the study. I didn't expect that Hongxiu is kneeling there and pestering the Crown Prince to prevent him from coming over."
"How outrageous! Are there any rules left in this mansion? How dare a little slave dare to stop the master?" Su Xiyue said these words in a very high voice. It was obviously meant for the slaves outside to hear, which is equivalent to
This is a disguised form of establishing authority for Cheng Zilan.
Cheng Zilan was still crying and didn't understand, but the nanny beside her understood and knew that the princess was willing to stand up for the young lady.
"Sister-in-law, please don't cry. Let's go. I'll accompany you to the study. I want to see how this red sleeve is so good at dancing. It can actually block the master's way!"
Su Xiyue couldn't be unprepared when she returned home this time. As soon as she left the yard, she saw Mei Mei come over and whisper a few words in her ear. Su Xiyue's face turned even gloomier. Such Su
Xiyue scared Cheng Zilan so much that she even forgot to cry!
"When you get to the study later, you won't just be thinking about crying! Don't forget, you are the mistress of this house now! Your mother passed away early, so you don't need to be filial and set rules. But with grandma, you
You can't just ignore it, right? You've been making trouble these days, and you haven't even gone to grandma to say hello. Do you know that you've lost your rules?"
When Cheng Zilan heard what she said, her face became a little embarrassed. Su Xiyue was right. She was only focused on quarreling with Su Zhi, and she completely forgot about going to her grandmother's place to pay her respects!
It is indeed somewhat unreasonable.
Seeing that she finally came to her senses, Su Xiyue patted her hand and said, "You are now the head mistress of the Hou Mansion. How many people are watching your every move and gesture? This time,
It’s your grandmother who protects you, but she only tells the outside world that you are sick. What if your grandmother refuses to protect you? Have you ever thought about what others will say about you? Can you still hold your position as the Crown Prince’s wife? I dare say,
If you continue to be so petty and distrustful of your brother, even if you deal with this red sleeve today, there will be some green sleeves and blue sleeves in the future, can you send them away?"
The nun beside Cheng Zilan nodded her head after hearing this. It seems that the princess really cares about the young lady. Even Mrs. Cheng would not say these words. In Mrs. Cheng's eyes, she just cares about her.
Is the lady in charge of the family and does she have real power? This sister-in-law is more like a relative of the lady!
Cheng Zilan became clear-headed immediately after being nudged by Su Xiyue. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and held her temples, "My sister is right, I was too negligent! If my father-in-law hadn't been so generous, my grandmother's heart would
Ci, right now, I'm afraid I'll have to bear the charge of being unfilial and have to kneel in the ancestral hall!"
"Miss, you finally understand. That's good, that's good!"
Seeing that her grandma was also happy for her, Cheng Zilan felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Thinking about how she had lost her temper and made trouble in the yard in the past few days, she still made everyone worry.
When the group arrived at the door of the study room, they heard Hong Xiu crying and complaining about her grievances inside. Su Xiyue's brows immediately tightened, and Cheng Zilan's hand holding the handkerchief also suddenly tightened.
"Your Majesty, please save this slave! I just want to serve you well and have no other extravagant hopes! Even if I just stay by your side as a slave, Hong Xiu is willing! Please forgive me, Your Majesty,
Don’t kill this slave!”
Su Zhi's brows furrowed slightly. He couldn't say he liked this red sleeve, but he couldn't say he hated it either.
"What are these words? Who is going to kill you? You get up first and speak!"
"If the prince doesn't agree, I won't get up! The second lady returned to the house and went to see the young lady. I know that I have offended the young lady. But I only want to do it for the prince.
I don’t have any other greed, so I’m begging the prince to save me!”
Su Xiyue sneered on her face, what a vicious thought! She didn't say who wanted to kill her, but whoever heard this didn't think it was Cheng Zilan and herself who wanted to join forces to kill her.
?
Good! Very good! There has always been such a poisonous snake that can bite people hidden in the house. How come you didn't notice it earlier? She wants to hear what her brother has to say? Do you believe or not believe what Hong Xiu said?
