Quick Wear: I Fulfill the Wish of Cannon Fodder

Before the princess responded to Zhou's mother's accusation, the young maidservant standing beside Shu Yang spoke first. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a hint of contempt, and said, "Oh, it seems that you don't know yet, old lady, but now our prince consort has been dismissed from office and is idle at home. From now on, I'm afraid he can only rely on us princesses to survive!"

When Zhou's mother heard this, her eyes widened and she retorted in disbelief: "Nonsense! My son was just promoted two months ago. How could it suddenly become like this? There must be someone behind this!" After that, she turned to look at Zhou Zilang, hoping to get a reasonable explanation from her son.

"Mom, please stop talking! It's all because of that hateful Su Lan. She actually ran to His Majesty to complain, causing me to lose even my official hat!" Zhou Zilang pulled his mother's sleeve with resentment on his face. Although his tone seemed calm, his eyes revealed an anger that could not be concealed.

Hearing this, Zhou's mother couldn't help but widen her eyes and opened her mouth in surprise: "What? Divorce? And set up a household? How could that honest daughter-in-law do such a thing?" She really couldn't believe that Su Lan, who was usually gentle and obedient, was so bold.

Princess Shuyang, who was leisurely sipping her tea in the seat of honor, observed all this and suddenly came up with a brilliant idea. She casually raised her head and said with a half-smile, "Madam, if you really want to stay, it's not impossible. However, we don't keep idle people in our mansion. Since you're here, why don't you go to Su Lan and bring her two children back to me? I heard their blood would make excellent medicinal ingredients for my Yun'er."

Upon hearing this, Mother Zhou was stunned. She looked around anxiously, seeing nothing but luxurious decorations and furnishings. This was the life of luxury she had always dreamed of! As long as she could stay in the Princess's mansion, she would be able to enjoy the finest food, the most luxurious clothes, and the most luxurious clothes.

Thinking of this, Mother Zhou gritted her teeth, thought for a while, then nodded and agreed: "Okay, Your Highness, I'll do it right away. Anyway, Chengming and Zhaozhao just need to bleed a little, and their lives will not be in danger. I think they will not refuse." After saying that, she nodded as if to comfort herself, completely ignoring how much harm her actions would cause to the two innocent children.

In the afternoon, just after Su Lan had lunch with the children, she saw the housekeeper coming to look for her in a panic, "Oh no, Madam, there's an old woman outside the door insulting you in the street, saying that the young master and the young lady are unfilial descendants."

"Host, it's bad! Your ex-mother-in-law is here. Judging from her aggressive look, I'm afraid she has no good intentions. In my opinion, her purpose of coming here is to forcibly take away your two children." Tuanzi anxiously informed Su Lan.

Su Lan frowned slightly, but soon regained her composure. She nodded slightly to indicate that she was aware of the matter.

Then, she slowly turned her head, looked at Su Chengming and Su Zhaozhao with gentle but firm eyes, and said softly, "Children, there is something mother must tell you.

Su Lan revealed how Zhou's mother and Zhou Zilang had colluded to deceive the mother and her two children for five years, and also explained the purpose of her visit.

Hearing this, Su Chengming and Su Zhaozhao looked at each other and said in unison without hesitation, "Mother, we will always stand by you! That wicked grandmother was so mean to you and always bullied you. We don't want to go with her!"

Seeing the two children express their determination, Su Lan felt a warm feeling in her heart. She smiled slightly, reached out and touched the children's heads, and said, "In that case, let's go out and meet her together."

It is not a solution to keep running away. This is a good opportunity to let these two little ones completely recognize the true face of the two people from the Zhou family, and to stop them from trying to get close to us in the future.

Before she even got close to the door, she could hear Zhou's mother's deafening voice yelling from afar: "Oh my God! I can't live like this anymore! My daughter-in-law was so cruel as to kick me out of the house. Even my grandchildren ignore me!"

As expected, when they got closer, they saw, wow! The entrance was already crowded with onlookers, whispering and pointing, making for a lively atmosphere. Even worse, someone in the crowd would occasionally join Mother Zhou in criticizing her daughter-in-law, Su Lan, with fierce rhetoric. However, with Su Lan's intelligence and keen insight, she could tell at a glance that these voices were clearly Princess Shuyang's specially arranged army.

Faced with such a difficult situation, Su Lan remained unfazed. She pondered for a moment, then quickly came up with a plan. Without a word, she quietly instructed her nimble servant to sneak out the back door and report the crime to the authorities. Meanwhile, she calmly reached out, took a child by the hand, and steadily walked out the door.

At this moment, Zhou's mother saw that the situation was not good and immediately jumped up and shouted, "Su Lan, what are you doing? Why are you going to complain? Now it's great, even Zilang's official position will be lost because of you! Go and explain it to the officials quickly and say that you are just making it up!"

"As long as you do what I say, I will naturally say a few good words for you in front of the princess, so that you will have the opportunity to become Zilang's concubine." Zhou's mother looked at the person in front of her with a smug look on her face, thinking to herself: This woman has always been weak and can be bullied. Now that I have such threats and inducements, I am sure she will submit.

However, the woman standing before Zhou's mother was no longer the soft, soft-hearted daughter-in-law she once was. Her gaze was cold, her lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile as she spoke, "First of all, Zhou Zilang and I have been divorced for over two months. You, the so-called old lady, can no longer be considered my mother-in-law. Besides, I don't even want to be his wife, so how could I be willing to become his concubine?"

Hearing this, Zhou's mother's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. She could never have imagined that her daughter-in-law, who had always obeyed her, would dare to disobey her like this.

"Hmph! It's fine if you don't want to go back with me, but Chengming and Zhaozhao are the blood of our Zhou family. You must follow me back to the princess's mansion to live a good life!" Mother Zhou was angry and embarrassed. She stepped forward and reached out to pull the two children.

At this moment, there was a slight shout, and Su Lan gently waved her arm. An invisible force instantly knocked Zhou's mother to the ground. Zhou's mother lay on the ground in a mess, unable to get up for a while.

"Chengming and Zhaozhao have changed their surnames to Su, so they have nothing to do with your Zhou family anymore," Su Lan looked at her coldly.

"But... no, the child must come with me!" Zhou's mother muttered to herself, her mind constantly replaying the princess' words, and her determination to take the child back grew stronger. So, she gritted her teeth, endured the pain and weakness in her body, struggled to stand up, and staggered towards the child.

However, just when her trembling hand was half extended, a group of ferocious constables suddenly rushed in. One of them was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and grabbed Zhou's mother's wrist firmly.

"Hey, what are you doing? I am the princess's mother-in-law. How dare you, a bunch of blind guys, arrest me!" Mother Zhou's eyes widened in anger and she shouted loudly.

Meanwhile, Su Lan calmly and gracefully approached the constables, greeting them politely. "Thank you all for coming all this way. This small amount of money is just tea money for you all, please accept it. This person is none other than my ex-mother-in-law. For some reason, she insisted on coming to my house today to snatch my child away. I'm really worried that she might do something drastic and hurt the child, so I had no choice but to report her to the authorities. I hope you will forgive me."

After hearing this explanation, the leading constable quickly responded with a smile: "No problem, no problem, madam, you are too polite! In that case, let's take this man away first." As he said that, he waved his hand to signal his men to take Zhou's mother away.

Just as the constable was about to lead his men away, Su Lan stopped them again, "Officials, please wait a moment. Xiaobai, quickly go and get the rouge I carefully prepared for the prefect's wife."
