I took over after the heroine of the abusive novel ran away

Looking at Madam Hou's angry back, the system was a little worried, "Host, aren't you taking too much risk? I think Madam Hou really wants to kill you now."

Su Lingyu didn't care. "Don't worry, she can't kill me, and she doesn't dare to kill me, unless she wants to die together. Besides, didn't you say that I have the aura of a heroine? Although it's useless, I shouldn't be killed easily!"

The system was a little confused. "But, that's what you said, but aren't you afraid of suffering? Although she can't kill you, she will make you suffer! And haven't you been taking your time before? Now that you have torn your faces apart, your life in the mansion will be difficult in the future."

"People gather for profit. Do you think my life in the mansion will be easier if I don't break up with her? On the contrary, she is worried now and dare not do anything to me. Compared with useless flattery, I prefer this direct way.

Besides, if she really attacks me, don't we still have you, the system? You said that we are one now, and we will prosper together and suffer together, so you, the system, will protect me, right? You will remind me when I am in danger, right? "When Su Lingyu said this, her voice was as sweet as honey.

Being so relied upon by its host, the system suddenly became proud: "Of course."

As soon as he finished speaking, the system felt something was wrong. It felt like something was flowing in its program, as if it had been washed by something.

Su Lingyu felt relieved after getting the recognition from the system. Although this system might not be very smart, it still had some capabilities. At least it could give early warning when there was danger.

And the thing she just used to threaten Madam Hou was something she dug out by tricking the system into digging deep into the plot.

More than ten years ago, when the Prince of Nanping rebelled, it was the old marquis who led people to suppress it.

Because the Prince of Nanping killed the former crown prince that Your Majesty was most satisfied with, Your Majesty hated the Prince of Nanping very much.

After the King of Nanping was executed, all his descendants were killed by the current emperor. However, what everyone does not know is that when they were young, the old marquis and the King of Nanping had a close private friendship, and the King of Nanping even saved the old marquis' life on the battlefield.

The old marquis, mindful of this favor, promised the King of Nanping before his death that he would leave a trace of his bloodline. The old marquis brought the King of Nanping's one-year-old youngest son back to his mansion and pretended that he was a child whose parents had both died, and adopted him as his son. The marquis' wife also knew about this.

This incident is a huge bomb for the Marquis' Mansion. If it is discovered by others, the Marquis' Mansion will be finished. Your Majesty and the late Crown Prince have a deep relationship. Given the extent of Your Majesty's hatred for the King of Nanping, if he knew what the old Marquis had done, the Marquis' Mansion would probably be gone.

The old marquis and his wife have been very cautious over the years, and even Xiao Yuchen didn't know about this.

That's why Mrs. Hou was so incredulous about Su Lingyu knowing this, and she didn't dare to act rashly.

With this threat, Su Lingyu's life in the Marquis' Mansion became easier.

Although the Marquis's wife still disliked Su Lingyu, she did not dare to embarrass her anymore because of the threat posed by Su Lingyu.

No one knew what Xiao Yuchen was thinking, or maybe he was disgusted with Su Lingyu's arrangement, but he never went to the two concubines in the backyard.

He did come to Su Lingyu's yard several times, but each time he was driven away by Su Lingyu because she deliberately did something to make him unhappy.

Seeing Xiao Yuchen like this, Mrs. Hou became even more convinced that he was incapable.

Just when she made up her mind to find a doctor to see Xiao Yuchen.

Princess Hengyang held a chrysanthemum-viewing banquet in her villa, and Su Lingyu also received an invitation.

In fact, she was not originally scheduled to attend this banquet. Although Su Lingyu came from the Shangshu Mansion, she was a concubine's daughter and had no qualifications to attend such a gathering.

Later, she married Xiao Yuchen. Madam Hou didn't like her and never took her to various social events, so fewer people knew her.

The reason why her post was removed this time was entirely due to her elder sister Su Tingxue, who was the fifth prince's consort.

In fact, when they were at home, Su Tingxue and her didn't have a very good relationship. To be precise, Su Tingxue never took her seriously.

Now that Su Tingxue took the initiative to contact her, it was not out of a sudden kindness that she wanted to establish a sisterly relationship with her.

But it was for Xiao Yuchen.

Of course, Su Tingxue didn't have any lingering feelings for Xiao Yuchen.

Objectively speaking, Su Tingxue is a smart person and also a very ambitious person. She talks about the relationship of childhood sweethearts, but in fact, she has always been using Xiao Yuchen. To be precise, she is using Xiao Yuchen as a backup.

The imperial court's selection was not that strict. If a daughter in a family was already engaged, she could report to the court and not participate in the selection.

But Su Tingxue went anyway. She told Xiao Yuchen that she was just going through the motions. Then she was chosen by the Fifth Prince and became his consort.

I don't know how she explained it to Xiao Yuchen later. Not only did Xiao Yuchen not blame her, he also thought it was God's trick that made them unable to be together as lovers.

I have to say that Su Tingxue is quite good at controlling Xiao Yuchen.

The current emperor is getting old, and the princes under him have grown up.

The prince has the ambition to become the next new emperor, and the prince's wives also have the ambition to become the queen.

Her main purpose of making friends with Su Lingyu was to help the Fifth Prince win over Xiao Yuchen.

Xiao Yuchen is the next heir to the Marquis' Mansion and the only prince of the Marquis' Mansion. Winning him over is equivalent to winning over the power of the Marquis' Mansion.

However, with her current identity, it is inconvenient for her to have long-term contact with Xiao Yuchen, so she set her sights on Su Lingyu.

And the two are sisters, which is the best reason.

Princess Hengyang is the younger sister of the current emperor and has a very good relationship with him. She also likes lively occasions, so she often holds various banquets.

Because of her special status and the trust of His Majesty, the invitations for the banquet hosted by the Princess were very popular among the noble ladies in Beijing, and those without certain status could not attend.

The reason for the gathering is not important. What is important is that it can provide a good platform for ladies' diplomacy.

Mrs. Hou doesn't often have the opportunity to attend such gatherings.

So you can imagine how helpless Mrs. Hou was when she learned that Su Lingyu had gotten such an opportunity.

In her eyes, Su Lingyu is now an unpredictable accident. Before she figures out Su Lingyu's next move, she doesn't want to let Su Lingyu go out.

But the eldest princess sent a message to Su Lingyu, so she couldn't stop Su Lingyu from going.

She wanted to go with them and keep an eye on Su Lingyu, but she was not among the invited people this time.

So the Marquis' wife could only watch with a heavy heart as Su Lingyu got on the carriage leaving the mansion.

The eldest princess's villa was outside the city. Su Lingyu rode in a shaky carriage for nearly an hour before reaching her destination.

After she handed in the invitation, the guards at the door let her in.

This was Su Lingyu's first time in a place like this, and to be honest, she was still a little confused.

Fortunately, Su Tingxue was very considerate. She told her personal maid to wait at the door. As soon as she entered, she had someone bring her to her.
