Su Wan walked with a shaky step, and she was in a daze, like a walking corpse, lifeless. She slowly walked into the inner room and sat in front of the dressing mirror, her eyes empty. She stared at herself in the mirror, and saw that her originally delicate and beautiful face had now become as pale as paper, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked dull and lifeless as if she had lost her soul. At this moment, she seemed to have aged ten years, and her former charm was gone, leaving only a withered appearance.

Suddenly, the figure in the mirror began to change. His face gradually became distorted and hideous, and he uttered sharp and piercing curses, "How dare you live in this world! Why are you still alive? You should die now. Only when you die will no one laugh at you and you will be free."

"Yes, you are right. I should die. Only by dying can I not bring shame to the family."

Su Wan muttered to herself, then slowly stood up and walked to the closet. She opened the door, took out a skirt, tore it into strips, and hung it on the beam.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open and Xiao Zimo rushed in. He saw the scene in front of him and burst into tears. Then, he quickly ran to Su Wan and hugged her legs tightly. Tears slid down his cheeks and soaked his clothes.

"Mom, what are you doing? Don't you want me and my sister anymore?"

"Mom, please don't leave us! I don't want to be a motherless child. If you leave, we will be motherless."

Su Wan was also awakened by Xiao Zimo's crying.

Yes, if she left, what would happen to her children? Without anyone to protect them, how could they survive in this palace?

The thought that they might starve, freeze, and be bullied made her heart feel like it was being stabbed by needles and she could hardly breathe.

Su Wan squatted down and hugged Xiao Zimo tightly, tears flowing uncontrollably.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... It's my fault. I scared you. I won't do it again, never again." She said while choking.

When Xiao Zimo heard his mother's words, he raised his head, tears flashing in his eyes, but he still asked firmly: "Really?"

"Really, mother still wants to see you get married!" Su Wan comforted.

"Okay, then we have a deal. You must be well. It doesn't matter even if father revokes your title of concubine. You still have me, your son. I will be a support for you and your sister." Xiao Zimo said firmly.

"Okay, I'll rely on you from now on."

Su Wan said this sincerely this time, without any deception or perfunctory elements.

She gently wiped the tears from her son's face, then took his hand and walked towards Xiao Tingting's room together.

The little girl was also crying for her mother. Maybe it was because the mother and daughter were connected by heart. The little girl, who usually never cried, was now crying uncontrollably, and her voice was even a little hoarse. The new nanny and the little maid didn't dare to take her out, and could only coax her constantly.

Su Wan and Xiao Zimo heard Xiao Tingting crying from a distance, and they quickened their pace and walked in.

"Tingting, what's wrong? Don't cry, don't cry, mom is here."

Su Wan took the daughter from the nanny's arms and coaxed her softly. At this moment, she was extremely scared. She almost...

Fortunately, she hasn't reached the last step yet.

Looking at her well-behaved children, she regretted it. She regretted so much why she didn't stop earlier. If she hadn't gone astray by sending poisonous bird's nests a few days ago, if she hadn't been so confident and hadn't relied on luck, things would still be the same as before, and Nanny Xia and Zijuan wouldn't have been taken away. Who knows what would happen in the future.

Xiao Tingting was particularly clingy to Su Wan today. Xiao Zimo was also scared today and refused to go to the outer courtyard no matter what. It was a rare occasion for the mother and her two sons to be together.

During dinner, the butler came in with two maids and said, "Master Su, these two are here to serve you at the order of the prince." After saying that, he motioned to the two maids behind him to come forward.

The two maids hurried forward a few steps, then knelt down and saluted, saying in unison: "Your servants greet the young master."

Su Wan nodded gently and replied softly: "Everyone get up."

It was obvious that the two were new to the mansion, so it was hard to get any information from them. So they looked at Steward Xue hesitantly, but finally couldn't help asking, "Steward Xue, how are they now?"

"The prince ordered that the mute drug be given to him and sent to the manor."

Upon hearing the news, Su Wan's eyes instantly became moist and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Xiao Zimo walked silently to his mother's side, gently held her hand and comforted her, "Don't cry, Mom."

Xiao Tingting, who was standing by, saw her mother crying and she also burst into tears.

Su Wan was startled by her daughter's cry, and quickly wiped the tears from her face, quickly hugged Xiao Tingting in her arms, and coaxed her softly. She stroked her daughter's hair with heartache and comforted her.

The housekeeper looked at this scene, sighed helplessly, and advised: "Master Su, although they have been punished, they are still alive after all."

"Thank you, butler. You're right. As long as they are still alive, it's good to know where they are."

"Then I will withdraw first. If you need anything, please send someone to call me." Butler Xue said respectfully, then turned and left.

Although Su Wan is in trouble now, Butler Xue does not dare to neglect her. After all, she still has the Third Young Master and the Little Princess.

Although the title of concubine was revoked, she was not required to move to the new courtyard, and the small kitchen was not removed either, and the cook was kept there.

So, there is still a big difference between having children and not having children.

Youlanyuan

Shen Jingyi had just finished packing her boxes and was about to take a break when she heard a noisy sound coming from outside.

She frowned and asked, "What happened outside? Why is it so noisy?"

"I'll go out and take a look." Chuntao said as she walked out.

However, before Chun Tao could leave, a little maid ran in in a panic, shouting breathlessly, "Concubine, Concubine Su's people have been arrested."

Shen Jingyi was shocked when he heard this, his face became serious, and he asked, "What happened? Explain it clearly! What do you mean everyone was arrested?"

"I don't know the details either. I only saw the palace guards escorting Nanny Xia, Zijuan, Lanyi and others out the door."

"Go check it out and see what's going on."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Chuntao bowed and left in a hurry.

Shen Jingyi guessed that it might be related to Prince Wei's Palace.

She didn't say anything until she got a definite answer. She just picked up the book at hand and read it quietly, waiting.

Nanny Qin and Qiuju looked at each other and guessed something. Just as Xia Zhu and Dongmei were about to speak, Nanny Qin glared at them. Then they didn't dare to say anything more. They had to shut up and take out their needlework to pass the time.

Three quarters of an hour later, Chuntao came back.

As soon as she entered the room, she hurriedly said, "Concubine, I have found out everything."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingyi put down the book in his hand, and the other servants also stopped what they were doing and pricked up their ears, waiting for what would happen next.

Chun Tao took a breath and continued, "The prince found out that the poisonous bird's nest was sent by Concubine Su on purpose. The prince said that Concubine Su had a vicious mind and refused to change despite repeated admonitions. He stripped her of her title of concubine and demoted her to a concubine.

In addition, Nanny Xia's son Zhao Dacheng colluded with the Wei Wangfu staff to murder the prince's heir and has been beaten to death. The rest of the maids and servants were given mute drugs and were all sent to work on the farm."

Shen Jingyi remained silent after listening to this. The incident finally came to an end. I didn't expect that there would be such a big story behind it, involving so many people and things.

I am sure that many houses will become restless in the next few days, but this is also a good thing. It is much better to eradicate the cancer than to let it continue to grow and fester.

"Humph, let her be bad. Now let's see how she can be bad in the future. I don't know how many people she has harmed in the past few years."

"When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. She will never have an easy life in the future."

"It's just a pity for the Third Young Master and the little princess. How could such a lovely child be hers?" It can only be said that everyone has been feeling uneasy about the fact that such a person with evil intentions had such a pair of lovely children.

"Don't worry about her. Su Wan has two children. As long as she stays at home and doesn't go out, and raises her children safely, there is still hope for her life."

Shen Jingyi calmly analyzed what would be the best way to deal with her current situation.

Of course, Su Wan did the same thing. From then on, she would not leave the hospital unless it was necessary.

It was not until Xiao Zimo built his own house and took her in to live in luxury that she gradually became willing to go out for spring outings and burn incense.

But she still doesn't like crowded places.

I can only say that time can really change a person's preferences.
