"Third sister, you are so guilty of saying that. There are so many of us watching you. It was you who accidentally fell into the water while you were looking at the flowers. It was your cousin who rescued you just now. How could you... do this!"

The one who spoke was the fifth daughter of the second branch of the Hu family. Hu Yunyun relied on the fact that she was the daughter of the first branch to boss her younger sisters around. The younger sisters all disliked her very much, and now they would take this opportunity to step on her a few times.

"What do you know? When were you bribed by Su Lingyu? You actually spoke in her favor. She is a bastard who can marry Brother Zichen. It can be seen that she is a scheming and cruel person. She is just jealous that Brother Yuchen likes me and wants to harm me."

Hu Yunyun is very angry now, thinking that Su Lingyu almost killed her just now, she can't control the anger in her heart. When people are angry, they are irrational and can say anything without thinking.

"That's enough, Yun'er!"

Seeing that Hu Yunyun was getting more and more outrageous, Mrs. Hu couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing that Hu Yunyun was still in the mood to frame others, she knew that she was fine, and Mrs. Hu was relieved.

"Someone, the young lady is not feeling well, help her back to the room to rest."

"Mom, believe me, she is the one who wants to harm me..." Hu Yunyun was still unwilling to accept it, but was suppressed by Mrs. Hu.

Doctor Hu was also a little annoyed at Hu Yunyun's confusion. It would have been fine if she had no ability and failed to harm anyone, but she was actually blaming others here. It would have been fine if no one saw it, but so many people saw it, so even if she wanted to help her, there was nothing she could do!

After Hu Yunyun was brought in, Mrs. Hu felt relieved when she saw that Mrs. Hou did not show any expression. Then she looked down at Su Lingyu with a kind face.

"My niece, Yun'er fell into the water and was frightened. I panicked and said something without thinking. I didn't mean to offend you. I hope you don't mind."

"It's okay. Third sister is still young. She might have been too scared just now. It's normal for her to forget it for a while. I don't mind." Su Lingyu lowered her head and replied timidly.

Madam Hu was quite satisfied with Su Lingyu's attitude. Even if Su Lingyu was the prince's wife, so what? A woman who had no help from her parents and was not liked by her mother-in-law and husband was nothing to be afraid of. Not to mention that even if she was wronged today, even if she died here, it would not be a big deal.

"It's really my granddaughter-in-law who is so generous. Oh! How could these servants do such a thing? Your clothes are still wet. Someone, take the prince's wife to change clothes." Madam Hu seemed to have just realized that Su Lingyu was still wearing wet clothes, and hurriedly asked with concern.

After changing clothes, Su Lingyu followed the Marquis's wife again. Madam Hu was smiling and did not mention what had just happened, as if nothing had happened.

Su Lingyu had already expected such a result.

Not to mention that Hu Yunyun framed her, even if Hu Yunyun really killed her, the Hu family and the Marquis's wife would only help cover it up.

Although Su Lingyu has a father who is a minister, she is just an unfavored concubine. Her aunt died early, her father does not love her, and her stepmother does not like her.

Even if she was lucky enough to marry into the Marquis's Mansion, the Marquis's wife didn't like her. As for Xiao Yuchen, they more or less knew Xiao Yuchen's attitude towards Su Lingyu, so they didn't think Xiao Yuchen cared about her that much. The reason why they didn't take her seriously was just because they were bullying her because no one was making decisions for her.

Hu Yunyun likes Xiao Yuchen, but with her status and pride, she would not want to be Xiao Yuchen's concubine.

Therefore, only if Su Lingyu died could she marry Xiao Yuchen legitimately.

The reason why Hu Yunyun dared to harm Su Lingyu's life was because he knew this.

In the original plot, Hu Yunyun caused Su Lingyu to have a miscarriage, but nothing happened.

One reason is that no one was around at the time and the maidservant beside her had already been ordered away. Even if Su Lingyu said that Hu Yunyun pushed her, she had no evidence.

In addition, Mrs. Hou supported Hu Yunyun and asked Su Lingyu to keep quiet.

So in the end the original owner could only admit with frustration that he had fallen into the water by accident.

Therefore, she was not surprised or sad about Mrs. Hu's attitude today. Hu Yunyun wanted to harm her, so she retaliated against him.

But we need to wait a little longer. We can’t let anything happen to her while she’s in the house.

Only when they got on the carriage back home did Mrs. Hou frown and look at Su Lingyu with dissatisfaction.

"Look at you, I brought you out here for no reason, but something like this happened. Not only did you not bring honor to me, but you also continued to cause trouble. You should just stay in the mansion for the rest of your life!"

Mrs. Hou knew her niece's temperament more or less. From the surface, she would think that Hu Yunyun was being unreasonable and Su Lingyu was wronged based on what happened today, but so what.

Compared to Su Lingyu, the daughter-in-law she disliked, Mrs. Hou obviously favored her niece more.

Seeing the Marquis's disgusted look, Su Lingyu really wanted to fan her in the face with the fan in her hand.

As if she wanted to come out with her.

Just now when Hu Yunyunzhi wanted to beat her up, Madam Hou didn't say a word and just watched coldly. Now she's scolding her. Tsk! You're all picking on the weak, right?

"Yes, mother, I know I was wrong. It was my fault that I didn't hold the third sister who fell into the water. I shouldn't have jumped into the water in a hurry to save her and scared the sixth sister. I should have directly admitted that it was me who caused the third sister to fall into the water and let her beat and kill me to vent her anger. But my life is not a big deal. I'm just worried about the prince. I don't know if the prince's illness can be cured. After I leave, I don't know if the prince will marry a wife who understands him better in the future!" Su Lingyu didn't want to spoil her, and said in a sarcastic tone.

Probably because she didn't expect Su Lingyu to dare to speak to her like that, Mrs. Hou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became angry when she realized what was going on.

"you……"

What does Su Lingyu mean? Is she threatening her with Chen'er's matter?

"Oh! I underestimated you. Why, you're not pretending anymore? I didn't expect you to be so capable. Are you threatening me?" she said angrily.

"I don't dare. No matter how capable I am, I can't be as capable as my mother." Su Lingyu simply didn't bother to pretend and met the Marquis's gaze openly.

"Mother can treat me as a docile rabbit, but sometimes rabbits will bite when they get angry."

"Okay, okay, okay, Su Lingyu, I want to see what you can do." The Marquis's wife looked at Su Lingyu coldly, with murderous intent in her heart.

She wanted to see how she could control a powerless concubine's daughter. Even if she wanted her to die of illness, it would only take a word.

She is not a person without means, as she can sit firmly in her position as the marquis's wife.

Facing Mrs. Hou's threats, Su Lingyu showed no fear.

Given her status, it would be easy for the Marquis to kill her, but she was not very afraid.

She has a trump card in her hand, otherwise she wouldn't dare to ask Madam Hou for help.

"Mother, I don't know if you have heard of this saying, 'Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.' If I am alive and well, the prince will naturally be fine, but if something happens to me, let's not talk about whether the outside world will know that there will be no successor to the Marquis' Mansion in the future. And..."

Su Lingyu smiled, and suddenly leaned close to Madam Hou's ear and whispered something.

Mrs. Hou's eyes widened instantly, her heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Su Lingyu in horror.

"You...how did you know."

Su Lingyu gently shook the fan in her hand, and looked at Madam Hou leisurely, "I'm sorry that I can't tell mother about this. Anyway, I know it. I know much more than mother thinks, so mother should think carefully before she does anything. I dare to confront you, so I have the confidence to do so.

The daughter-in-law has only one thing to say: the day of the daughter-in-law's funeral is the day when the Marquis's family confiscates the property and beheads her."

Mrs. Hou looked at Su Lingyu for a long while, and finally compromised, turned her face away and stopped talking.

She didn't know how Su Lingyu discovered the clues and what backup plan she had.

But this matter was too big, and she didn't dare to gamble with the lives of her entire family.

Even if you want to get rid of Su Lingyu, you must first find out what backup plan she has and not act rashly.

"Don't worry, mother. Since your daughter-in-law has married into the Marquis' Mansion, she is naturally his member. If the Marquis' Mansion is well, then so am I. Your daughter-in-law doesn't want to die, so she will naturally consider things from the Marquis's perspective." Seeing that the Marquis's wife was frightened, Su Lingyu gave her another reassurance.

The Marquis's wife's expression finally eased a little. She knew that Su Lingyu was right, but it was always uncomfortable to have the secret in someone else's hands.

Mrs. Hou finally had some concerns, and she didn't dare to take it out on Su Lingyu anymore.
