On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

A pair of hands with light calluses gently covered Yu Shui's shoulders.

Upon closer inspection, the fingertips of those hands were no longer as tender as onion roots, but had become short and thick.

You can tell from years of hard work...

Once upon a time, Su Xinlian was also a girl who had never been involved in housework and was full of expectations for the future?

But just because Zhao Qingwan accidentally bumped into him and fell, her father indiscriminately married her to a subordinate as his second wife.

Treat her as a tool to win people's hearts.

She worked very hard for the ruined family, but in the end, because of the troubles in Changping Marquis's Mansion, she was divorced and returned home to be looked down upon by the servants...

How could she not hate this!!

The maid Su Sui'an was right.

Why does she live a miserable life while those who harmed her all have a good ending?

It's ridiculous that as the illegitimate daughter of the Marquis of Changping, she is not as smart as a maid.

After Su Xinlian's inner struggle, reason finally took over.

She helped Yu Shui up and whispered something in her ear.

When he stood up, Yu Shui looked dazed, and looked at Su Xinlian with shock.

"Miss..."

"Go."

Yu Shui still had some concerns in her heart, "Miss, are you going to die with them?"

Su Xinlian raised her lips and said, "It's not like we both perished. At most, we killed one thousand enemies and lost eight hundred of our own."

All she wanted before was to live a good life in the Changping Marquis Mansion after she came back.

But...

She has lost her fame and status. Maybe in the near future she will be sent to a remote farm or even a family temple. Her life is almost gone. Who would care about the Changping Marquis Mansion? No, who would care about Su Qishun's life or death?

The maidservant beside Su Sui'an said that she would help her, but now the Su family is in trouble. If she goes to find Su Sui'an or the maidservant beside Su Sui'an at this time, she might be used by them.

Rather than asking for help from someone who might drag her down at any time, she might as well rely on herself.

Su Xinlian's resolute eyes gave Yu Shui endless motivation.

"Don't worry, young lady. I will be very careful."

Even if he is found out in the end, he will not betray the lady.

but.

In this world, how can we just look at the evidence?

Yu Shui spread rumors and was soon caught by people from the Yong'an Earl's Mansion.

Originally, the people in Yong'an Marquis' Mansion had already wanted to cut the people in Changping Marquis' Mansion into pieces because Su Qishun had humiliated and killed Shen Meng.

Now that the rain has fallen on their hands, it is undoubtedly sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.

By the time Yu Shui was thrown back to the Marquis of Changping's Mansion, he had been beaten to death, and even his hands and feet were broken.

Liang finally begged Prince Yun for a whole night and finally got him to agree to help.

As a result, when I arrived home, I encountered these bad things again.

Liang, who had already suffered a lot of frustration from Prince Yun and had no place to vent her anger, didn't care about her weak body which had not slept all night.

She led her servants straight to Heyuan. Before the other people in Cuiheyuan could react, Nanny Zhao had already grabbed Su Xinlian's hair and pulled her out.

"You little bitch, I thought you would be safer after being sent back, but I didn't expect you to be such a troublemaker."

Su Xinlian was caught off guard by the scolding, and the waves of pain from her scalp were all evidence of Zhao Ma's rudeness.

She immediately cursed back, "You old beast, do you know that I am the eldest daughter of a concubine of the Marquis of Changping? You are just a servant of an old woman who came back from outside. How dare you disrespect your master?"

In her eyes, her father was the child born to an old marquis's wife.

If the old marquis's wife were still alive, Liang would at best be considered a concubine.

An old concubine can be called old lady out of respect, but without respect, she is just an old servant.

Where does he get the nerve to challenge the child of the legitimate heir to the Marquis of Changping's Mansion?

Su Xinlian struggled all the way as she was thrown out of Cuihe Garden, shouting all the time that Liang and Madam Zhao, who were bullying their masters, would die miserably, until she saw Yu Shui who had died.

She opened her eyes wide, fear flashing in her eyes.

"Look at the good things you've done."

Even though Nanny Zhao was old, she was always by Liang's side, helping her deal with some dirty things from time to time. Although her strength was not as good as that of a maid who specialized in doing odd jobs and heavy work, she was more than enough to lift an ordinary girl.

Not to mention, Su Xinlian had been tortured for a long time in the Liang Mansion in Quzhou and suffered from malnutrition, becoming as thin as a bamboo pole.

Under the merciless push from Madam Zhao, Su Xinlian fell heavily on Yu Shui's broken body.

Only then did she realize that Liang had already been standing beside the rockery not far from Cuihe Garden with the servants of the Changping Marquis' Mansion, looking murderous.

The steady posture seemed to tell her that they had been waiting there for a long time.

Without anyone to support her, Su Xinlian could only crawl up from the ground in pain.

She looks frail, but she has been subjected to all kinds of humiliation in the Liang Mansion over the years, and her strong willpower has long been honed.

Now that she couldn't survive in the rain, she had to be ruthless if she wanted to live.

Her mind was full of thoughts, and her ten fingers had already dug deep into the palms of her hands.

His face still maintained that weak look that could easily make people let down their guard.

"I wonder why the old lady suddenly sent this evil slave here?"

Her eyes were filled with tears, hanging stubbornly in her eye sockets.

It looks pitiful to me.

Unfortunately, Liang had already gotten tired of her tricks when she was young.

Faced with her accusatory questions that were deliberately asked, even though she was already furious, she still looked calm and composed.

"You keep pretending."

Aunt Zhao on the side spat at Su Xinlian.

"You instigated the maid to hire someone to spread rumors outside and got beaten to death and thrown back. Now you have completely disgraced the Changping Marquis Mansion. Do you still have the nerve to ask me the reason?"

Su Xinlian felt as if struck by lightning and became stupid.

There was no reaction to anything that Madam Zhao said.

"Today, if the reputation of my Changping Marquisate is damaged because of you, you should hang yourself in the ancestral hall to apologize."

Su Xinlian clenched her hands tightly.

Lips tightly pursed.

"Speak, are you mute?" Nanny Zhao stepped forward and slapped Su Xinlian mercilessly.

Su Xinlian fell to the ground again.

Liang snorted coldly, "After all, it is my son's kindness that makes this little hoof feel that if he doesn't speak, others can't do anything to him."

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Zhao beside her had already stepped forward with a silver needle embedded in her finger. She was going to bury the silver needle into Su Xinlian's temple with a slap and send Su Xinlian to death.

Everyone present had a clear mind.

But no one came out to speak for Su Xinlian.

After all, anyone who is a little smart would know that Su Xinlian now provides a good opportunity to make the Yong'an Earl's Mansion shut up.

Zhao Qingwan and Su Xinhe, who were attracted by the noise from behind, saw this scene and not only stopped, but also had a visible flash of pleasure in their eyes. At this moment, their thoughts were surprisingly consistent - they were in a quagmire, and as another girl in the Changping Marquis' Mansion, they could not expect to stay out of it.

Just when Nanny Zhao was about to deliver the fatal slap.

A cold voice came from outside the door.

"What did the Marquis of Changping do to warrant such a vicious method to punish a weak woman?"

Everyone focused their attention on that voice.

When she saw who was coming, a hint of panic quickly flashed across Liang's face.

"Gu...Gu Xiuyan?"

Soon, her eyes were attracted by the dark green official uniform worn by Gu Xiuyan.

Clearly, when she went to Prince Yun's mansion yesterday, Prince Yun casually mentioned that Gu Xiuyan might not be reinstated.

But today...

When was Gu Xiuyan reinstated?

besides?

Why didn't anyone inform him when Gu Xiuyan came? In fact, he was an outsider, so he felt like he was in an empty house in his mansion?

"Madam Su... No, I should call you Liang now." Gu Xiuyan smiled wryly, "If you have any questions, follow me to the Ministry of Justice's prison, and you will have no problems."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers behind him, who were wearing shackles, stepped forward and took the man away.

Regardless of gender, age or status, even Zhao Qingwan and Su Xinhe who were watching the excitement from afar were taken back to the Ministry of Justice.
