My Lord, please respect yourself. I am the wife of a marquis.

Su Muxi brought her sister-in-law back to the Duke's Mansion. The housekeeper whispered to them that Madam Xie He, Marquis Yong'an, had arrived, and the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife were receiving them in the front hall.

She nodded and asked him to take the Duke of Zhenguo's visiting card to the palace to invite the imperial physician.

She settled her sister-in-law and comforted Chen'er before going to the hall alone.

In the front hall, Madam He was holding the hand of the Duchess's wife and talking to her.

"I know Xi is a good kid. All of this happened because Cheng was ignorant. But they were married by His Majesty. We have punished Cheng. Let Xi come back with me. I will have my grandson brought over with Xi tomorrow. We can't let people laugh at us, right?"

The Duke's wife saw her talking about the marriage, and she was not afraid. "Old Madam, the prince made such a scene last night. It is the first time in history. She is a wild girl and is afraid that she can't handle it well. She asked me to come back for advice. Please don't blame me. She went to find her sister-in-law. I will let her go back when she comes back."

Old Madam He was determined to take the person away today. Her grandson got married, but she couldn't even drink tea with her.

"Then I'll just wait here for a while. I'll take my granddaughter-in-law back later. I guarantee no one will dare to gossip."

Su Muxi listened to the corner and went in directly, "Father, mother, something happened, my sister-in-law and nephew were assassinated, and it is hard to predict whether they will live or die."

"What did you say?" The Duke of Zhenguo suddenly stood up from his chair.

She was afraid that her mother would be frightened, so she went over to support her, scratched her palm, and winked at her father.

The Duke of Zhenguo understood, "Madam He, Lord He, our family has encountered misfortune. We will discuss this matter later. I'm sorry that I can't entertain you. Butler, please send us away."

Marquis Yong'an and Old Madam He were also startled and could only offer words of comfort before following the housekeeper out.

After seeing off Marquis Yong'an, her sister-in-law woke up and kept holding her hand and expressing her gratitude. She felt guilty, so she proposed to exchange two maids with her, saying that her maids could take care of the rear house.

The eldest sister-in-law naturally agreed and sent her personal maid over.

Not only that, she also asked her mother to return the maids and nannies that had been prepared for her in advance, but she was used to being rough and felt that they were useless, so she threw them all at the Duke's Mansion.

As for her two maids, one was given to her eldest sister-in-law and the other to her mother. Although they might not be good at other things, they were first-rate in skills and provided close protection for her, so she could feel more at ease. They could also send her messages in time if anything happened.

She lay on her childhood bed, thought about what to do next, and then closed her eyes to rest.

"My Lord, it's time to get up."

She did not sleep well that night. Looking at the somewhat strange girl, she could not tell for a moment whether it was a dream or an illusion.

"What time is it?"

"It's already noon. Because of what happened yesterday, the lady's family sent an invitation early in the morning. They are now in the lady's yard and have brought you a gift. The Duke's wife asked you to finish your breakfast and come over to talk."

It turned out that someone from my sister-in-law's family had come. "I see. You don't have to be so reserved. Ask someone to set the table!"

"Thank you, County Lord, for your understanding."

Zhijuan was indeed not used to her new identity, but she knew why the princess asked the eldest lady for her.

She was the personal maid of the First Lady, who was the legitimate daughter of the third branch of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion. Although she had no title, she held a high official position as the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, a third-rank official.

The princess's affair has now caused a sensation in the city. Originally it was her brother-in-law's fault, so he should have been punished, but she was beaten with eighty military sticks and she ran back to her parents' home. She was no longer in the right.

Moreover, when Old Madam He came yesterday, she gave him a way out and he could have gone back with her. Unfortunately, the matter of the First Madam happened and he was unable to go back.

The eldest lady told her all the key points, so she understood what her mission was?

When advising or supervising a young lady, she should not make any mistakes and at least keep her face.

Otherwise, when the Duke of Zhenguo goes to the northwest, the princess will be unable to support herself and she is not good at managing the rear quarters, so she will suffer losses.

After dinner, Su Muxi followed the instructions and went to her sister-in-law's courtyard.
