Mother and son join forces to abuse the scum to seize power and fight for the family property!

Zhou Tao pursed her lips. She then guessed that Su Yuan would not help her.

She is just Gu Zhiquan's cousin, not Su Yuan's biological sister. How could Su Yuan help her wholeheartedly?

You have to rely on yourself for everything.

Rely on yourself...

Zhou Tao's face was filled with dejection, and she no longer had the fighting spirit she had when she went to Duke Li's mansion.

She said no more and returned home in a depressed mood.

After returning home, Wei couldn't wait to come over to inquire about the news.

Zhou Tao shook her head slightly, signaling Wei not to ask so many questions for the time being.

Wei had no choice but to suppress her curiosity and return to Zhou.

Zhou coughed lightly, "How is the matter going? Is Duke Li willing to befriend our Zhennan Marquisate?"

This Duke Li is so ungrateful.

He only took the position of Duke by relying on his own ability. How could he be more prestigious than the hundred-year-old hereditary position of Marquis Zhennan?

It is Cheng Lang's blessing that Gu Qingqing likes him. If he is sensible, he will support Sima Tu and let Sima Tu sit on the throne of crown prince.

The other princes have their own forces behind them, especially the eldest prince and the third prince, who have the Duke of Yu's Mansion behind them.

Supporting Sima Gong and others would not benefit Cheng Lang at all.

Although Duke Li and Duke Yu are not enemies, they are the two dukes of Dongyu, and there are always open and covert struggles.

A family like the Lu family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, naturally looked down on Cheng Lang, who came from a commoner background.

If Cheng Lang supports Sima Gong, he will only end up in a thankless situation.

As long as Cheng Lang is not stupid, he will naturally not choose them.

What's more, Mr. Li has done Cheng Lang a favor, so he will definitely choose Sima Tu, who is related to Mr. Li, right?

"I have already expressed our Zhennan Marquisate's intentions to the Duke. As for his attitude, I can't guarantee it." Su Yuan explained while drinking tea.

Upon hearing this, Zhou gritted her teeth.

Cheng Lang is really ungrateful and is dragging his feet without expressing his opinion.

When Sima Tu ascends the throne in the future, the first person he will eliminate will be Cheng Lang.

Cheng Lang must be held responsible for his current arrogance!

"How ungrateful!" Zhou complained to Cheng Lang, then looked at Su Yuan, "Su Yuan! This is all your fault! If you hadn't treated Duke Li harshly before, he wouldn't have targeted us like this."

Su Yuan: ...

Can this be blamed on her?

Cheng Liang didn't blame the original body, so what right did Zhou have to blame the original body?

Su Yuan rolled her eyes at her and said, "I'm tired. I'm not worthy of greeting my mother and aunt."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

Zhou's eyes widened with anger. "You evil creature! How dare you disobey me like this? How can you do this?"

Wei quickly comforted her, "Little sister, don't be angry. The Su family is also working for the Empress. There is no need for us to become enemies with the Su family over such a small matter.

Little sister, we should always put the overall situation first."

Without Su Yuan, Zhou Tao wouldn't even have the chance to go to Duke Li's mansion.

They can't offend Su Yuan at this time.

It won’t be too late to deal with Xiao Yuan after they all get what they want.

Zhou gritted her teeth. She just couldn't stand Su Yuan's arrogance.

In the past, Su Yuan was just aloof and proud, but she was extremely respectful to her mother-in-law and did not dare to disobey her in the slightest.

But now?

Su Yuan even dared to act so arrogant in front of her. How could she swallow this?

Also, the Li family hasn't sent anything for half a year. Without the Li family's money to support the expenses of the Marquis' Mansion, she would have to start spending her own private treasury.

Even the silver and money sent to the palace came from her private treasury.

If this continues, how can they live in peace in the Marquis' Mansion?
