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

After seeing Xiao Yuchen off, Su Lingyu asked the kitchen to prepare another breakfast.

Liu'er looked at the sun rising outside, then watched her wife leisurely having breakfast. For a moment, she was unable to understand Su Lingyu's thoughts.

"Madam, aren't we going to pay our respects to the old lady?"

"Isn't it still early?" Su Lingyu drank the soup slowly.

You know what, the breakfast at this marquis’ mansion is really good.

"Early? But it's almost noon now. The old lady stipulated that the time for paying respects is 3:15 am. This... is already a little late today." Liu'er suspected that her wife had forgotten the time. The old lady never liked her wife very much. Now that they were late, with this excuse, who knows how the old lady would punish them later.

Liu'er grew up with Su Lingyu since she was a child, and her heart is still with her at this time, so she is a little worried about Su Lingyu.

"Too late? I've been married for a year, and I see that mother sleeps until 2:45 every day. If we go too early, it will disturb her rest."

Madam Hou disliked Su Lingyu and used her status as an elder to make rules for her. She required Su Lingyu to pay her respects to her on time at 3:15 am every day, while she herself had to sleep until 2:15 am.

Su Lingyu would stand outside her house for almost an hour every morning, no matter whether it was windy or rainy, or in the cold winter or the hot summer, she would stand outside under the eaves.

Speaking of this, Su Lingyu couldn't help but complain

It was military training.

She doesn't want to be abused.

"But...if the old lady blames me later...this..."

Liu'er was a little confused. Looking at Su Lingyu's calm appearance, she couldn't understand Su Lingyu's thoughts for a moment.

Actually, Liu'er knew that Madam Hou was deliberately making things difficult for her when it came to paying respects, but there was nothing she could do about it. After all, Madam Hou was Su Lingyu's mother-in-law. No one could stand the accusation of being unfilial.

Su Lingyu's attitude in the past was always respectful and obedient, and she would endure it if she could, but why did she suddenly... Liu'er felt a little strange.

"Okay, don't worry! I know what I'm doing and nothing will happen." Su Lingyu did not explain too much.

After Su Lingyu said this, Liu Er stopped talking.

At three quarters past noon, when Su Lingyu arrived, Madam Hou had already finished her breakfast and was now sitting in the main hall with a stern face, waiting for Su Lingyu.

Ever since Su Lingyu married into the Marquis's Mansion, she has been paying her respects to him every morning and evening, and has never been late or absent. Today, when the nanny beside her said that Su Lingyu came to pay her respects, the Marquis's wife was very surprised.

At first she thought something had happened to Su Lingyu and she couldn't come. After all, Su Lingyu had always been weak in character, and she didn't think Su Lingyu would dare to disobey her.

It was not until she sent someone to inquire that she found out that nothing had happened, and that the prince had even stayed in Su Lingyu's room yesterday.

Mrs. Hou was immediately angry. She felt that Su Lingyu must be relying on Xiao Yuchen's favor towards her to deliberately challenge her authority.

When Su Lingyu comes later, she will definitely punish her severely.

"The daughter-in-law pays respects to her mother!"

As soon as Su Lingyu finished speaking, there was a bang, and a teacup broke into pieces at her feet, and the splashing tea wet her skirt.

"Greetings! What greetings are you giving? Don't you see what time it is now? What daughter-in-law comes to pay respects to her mother-in-law so late? A concubine's daughter is a concubine's daughter, and you don't know any rules. I think you are disrespecting your elders just because Chen'er pampers you. Get out of here and kneel outside for two hours before coming in again." Madam Hou pointed at Su Lingyu and scolded loudly.

Su Lingyu's face turned cold. Tsk! Asking her to kneel is wishful thinking.

Su Lingyu kicked away the broken porcelain pieces in front of her and walked a few steps to the Marquis's wife.

"Mother, I am not feeling well and cannot kneel. Please forgive me."

Mrs. Hou widened her eyes in surprise and looked at Su Lingyu in disbelief.

She didn't expect Su Lingyu to dare to refute her, and her anger grew.

"You, you...Okay! Su Lingyu, you finally showed your true colors now, right? You even dared to disobey your elders. I knew that your past gentleness was all fake. You are an unfaithful and unfilial thing. Was it you who deliberately seduced Chen'er and made Chen'er insist on marrying you?" Mrs. Hou said angrily.

Su Lingyu sneered, "Mother is a noble person who forgets things easily. Don't you know why Xiao Yuchen married me?"

At the beginning, Xiao Yuchen was willing to die for Su Tingxue, and the Marquis's wife knew it, but she really thought she knew nothing. The original owner just liked Xiao Yuchen and pretended not to know.

"Hmph, it seems that you are clear about it. Since you know that, you should understand that Chen'er doesn't have you in his heart." The Marquis's wife did not feel guilty at all after being exposed. Instead, she looked very proud. She looked at Su Lingyu's belly with dissatisfaction.

"It's been a year since you married into the Marquis's Mansion, but you're still not pregnant. Being childless is one of the seven reasons for divorce. I can ask Chen'er to divorce you right away." The Marquis's wife thought that so much time had passed, Gu Yuchen was doing his job well, and didn't mention Su Tingxue again. It seemed that he had moved on.

Then Su Lingyu is of no use, so it would be better to divorce her. The Marquis's wife knows her son very well, and she doesn't think Xiao Yuchen will like Su Lingyu.

Although Su Lingyu looks like Su Tingxue, she is a concubine's daughter and is far inferior to Su Tingxue in every aspect.

Madam Hou said proudly. She was waiting for Su Lingyu to cry and beg her, but even if she was willing to admit her mistake, she would not let her go. She wanted to take this opportunity to ask Chen'er to divorce Su Lingyu.

How could Su Lingyu, a concubine's daughter, be worthy of her son?

But to her disappointment, the scene she imagined did not appear.

Su Lingyu just sighed with a little sadness, "Mother, do you know why I haven't gotten pregnant yet?"

"Hmph! Why else? It must be that you are unlucky!" The Marquis's wife looked at Su Lingyu with disdain.

Su Lingyu pretended not to notice the disgust in Madam Hou's eyes, and just looked at Madam Hou with some sorrow.

"Mother, this concerns the reputation of the prince. I originally wanted to keep this from you, but now that mother has misunderstood me, I have no choice but to tell you."
