After the rebirth of the wronged soft girl, the devil's crematorium

Watching Liu Shang force a smile, Su Wan's taut nerves snapped. When she learned on the way that Qin Shi was coming, she sensed something was amiss, so she asked Yu Luo to find a way to get Zheng Yanchen, the lower-ranking official, to come. Fortunately, the timing was perfect.

Qin Shi, watching the affectionate sisters on the ground, found it laughable. The hierarchy was already established, and Su Wan had broken more than just the mansion's rules. Naive, foolish!

But Qin ultimately gave up. With Zheng Yanchen's backing, any further stalemate would only embarrass her. There was still time to go. The two sisters-in-law had already fallen out, and more importantly, after this incident, Su Wan's image in everyone's eyes had completely changed. Qin and Wen would be even more wary of her. After all, she had never been a candidate for the Duke's Crown Prince's wife.

Liu Shang was supported by Yu Luo and Liu Yan, while Zheng Yanchen followed behind Su Wan. Su Wan remained silent along the way. Zheng Yanchen looked at her determined back and felt as if he had never met Su Wan before.

"I'll talk to your mother on your behalf." Zheng Yanchen finally spoke.

Su Wan lowered her eyes expressionlessly, "Thank you, husband."

"You were too impulsive today. Putting aside the fact that Liu Shang truly made a mistake, even if she was wrongly accused, you shouldn't have embarrassed my sister-in-law in public. The mistress represents the authority of the mansion. Do you realize the predicament you're putting my sister-in-law in by being so reckless?"

Seeing that Su Wan still didn't want to talk, Zheng Yanchen felt angry and anxious. It was like this again. Where did her sharp tongue go? Why didn't she say a word when facing him? Did she feel she had nothing to say?

He stepped in front of Su Wan and said, "Don't you have any humanity at all? At least I helped you out. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened now? Now that it's resolved, you haven't said a word!"

When Zheng Yanchen saw Su Wan's beautiful peach blossom eyes staring coldly at him, he didn't understand what was going on. A few days after returning from Yizhou, where had Su Wan, the person who once respected, admired, and loved him, gone? He suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Su Wan already hated the man in front of her. "I may be unkind, but this square courtyard doesn't allow for human kindness. When did my husband become so naive? I really want to thank you today. If you have to bear the consequences, I will not make it difficult for you."

Looking at Su Wan's cold eyes and listening to her cold words, Zheng Yanchen felt as if he had been poured with cold water. Who else but his father would dare to treat him like this? He followed her into the yard and wanted to ask for clarification, but Su Wan suddenly turned around and said, "Husband, you should go back and rest quickly. I'm tired too." Then she went into the house.

Zheng Yanchen's face was full of disbelief. Seeing Linglong and Yu Luo looking at him, he angrily left the yard.

Back at Tingyu Pavilion, the maid and the servants were busy boiling eggs and heating water. Tingyu Pavilion was unusually quiet today, and everyone was in a bad mood. Firstly, Liu Shang had been beaten, and he was feeling depressed. Secondly, he was worried that Qin Shi would use the commotion to stir up trouble.

Liu Shang was afraid that he had disrupted the young lady's plan, so his guilt became stronger and stronger.

Seeing this, Su Wan came over to take the peeled eggs and asked Linglong to watch over the hot water. Then she comforted her, "You don't have to be like this. When the enemy comes, the general will fight, when the water comes, the earth will block it. There is always a way." The Duke's Mansion felt that she still had some use, so there was no way they would really divorce her. However, it was inevitable that there would be some trouble.

Thinking of this, Su Wan felt that some things really needed to be done in advance.

"From tomorrow on, I won't go to pay my respects. Mammy, please tell the people around my mother-in-law that I'm ill and can't go anywhere. I don't want to spread the word to my mother-in-law. I'll pay my respects to her after I'm well again."

"Yes."

"Liuyan, tomorrow you will go to Manager Liu under the pretext of getting medicine. If anyone asks, just say that I have always prescribed medicine for my illness myself."

"Yes." After making these arrangements, Su Wan calmed everyone's nervous hearts, urged them to go to bed, and walked out.

There were rustling sounds in the cold courtyard. Su Wan walked to the veranda and looked at Yu Luo's busy figure. She felt tired. "Yu Luo, go and rest."

Yu Luo raised his head, his eyes panicking.

Su Wan pressed her eyebrows and smiled, "I want to be quiet for a while, let's go to sleep with Linglong." Yu Luo knew that his wife was in a bad mood, so he didn't want to bother her, so he called Linglong to go to sleep.

Su Wan swung gently on the swing in the small garden. She looked up at the star-filled sky and the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and a wave of sadness washed over her. She missed her father and brother. Where were they? Thinking back to today's events, Su Wan's eyes welled up, and a deep sense of self-blame and guilt filled her heart. Her father and brother must be very disappointed.

A sudden "meow!" startled Su Wan, who was wiping away tears. Looking down, she saw a fat black and white cat standing there, looking at her with a pleading look in its eyes. Its large, round eyes and gentle meow under the light were truly captivating, and Su Wan's heart softened.

She picked up the cat, and it rubbed against her as if it recognized its owner, making Su Wan smile. "Whose house did you run away from? Did your owner no longer want you?" Su Wan stroked the cat's back and sighed, "It's okay. There are too many unfaithful people in this world. You don't have to be sad. If you really have nowhere else to go, stay with me."

"Meow~" The cat meowed again, as if responding to Su Wan, or comforting her.

"Who are you calling the unfaithful person?" A cold but pleasant voice came.

Su Wan turned around in bewilderment, only to see Xie Yin looking at her with a gloomy face and a haughty expression, like a grudge. Then she looked up and saw another arrogant figure standing on the roof. Su Wan pursed her lips; it was indeed master and servant.

"The Chief's pet was just found, right?" It took so long to deliver it, and it was obvious that it was not well taken care of. She even suspected that he had fed the cat with the poison when he was in a bad mood.

Xie Yin coughed, speechless at the revelation. He'd actually been prepared, but how could one simply enter the Duke's Mansion? It was just a coincidence that day, but sneaking into the backyard normally wouldn't be easy. Furthermore, Xie Yin couldn't help but complain about how difficult this shabby place was to find; he and Cang Yi had been searching for ages.

She lives in such a remote place!

"What? Were you bullied?" Xie Yin raised his chin, looking somewhat gloating.

"Master Xie looks so dashing and elegant, a gentleman, but why does he look like a gossip?"

Xie Yin closed his eyes and sighed, it’s okay, just bear with it!

"Will the chief be troubled?" After thinking for a while, Su Wan said, "Yes, how can someone like you, who is carefree and heartless, be sad?" After all, when he gets ruthless, he even dares to kick his father's nest.

Xie Yin sat on the veranda railing, leaning lazily against the pillar. When he looked at Su Wan with a sullen gaze, he found that her face was filled with a faint sense of death.

Xie Yin snorted and laughed, "You do have a heart and lungs, but it's a pity that they are crooked, and so are your eyes."

Su Wan frowned and gave him an unfriendly look.

"Our company has to deal with so many good-for-nothings every day. If everyone was as depressed as you, we would have collapsed from the accumulated frustration long ago."

Su Wan looked at Xie Yin with a sullen expression as he spoke. Xie Yin then looked back at Su Wan. They both rolled their eyes at each other and then turned their heads away in unison.

"By the way, the Zheng family knows where your father went?" Xie Yin restrained his arrogance.

Su Wan stroked the cat, her pink lips curled slightly. She knew that this guy was using the cat to gather information.

"I only know that my father was injured. The Zheng family is not surprised by this. The Duke's Mansion has been very active recently. Chief, you are so well-informed, don't you know this?"

Xie Yin narrowed his eyes as if considering the truth of this matter.

After a moment, he stood up and said, "Treat it well." Then he turned and left.

Su Wan looked at the slender figure under the light and asked, "How are you going to thank me?"
