The legitimate daughter returns, and everyone in the Marquis's mansion regrets and begs for for

Su Mujing turned pale with fright and looked at her mother in a panic, whispering, "Mother, please don't shout so loudly."

Wang took a deep breath, struggling to control the raging anger within her. Su Muxue, on the other hand, vigilantly observed her surroundings to prevent others from overhearing.

Su Muyu glanced at Wang Shi, then looked away, lowering her eyelashes to conceal the sarcasm in her eyes. This was her good stepmother; once her interests were threatened, she would reveal her hideous and ugly face.

"Look at the third young lady of the Su family, what is she trying to do? Is she trying to compete with her eldest sister for the emperor's favor?"

Wang whispered.

"It shouldn't be. My eldest sister has already married into the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace and is the future Empress. How could she possibly compete with her for favor?" Su Muxue comforted herself, though she was actually quite anxious inside.

"What do you know!" Madam Wang shouted angrily. "That bitch Su Muyu is obviously showing off to us! It's outrageous! If it weren't for her, our Jinxiu wouldn't have been divorced! Don't you know what kind of life Jinxiu has been living all these years? Now that she's finally made it, she's still being divorced. Tell me, what is she doing this for? Isn't it just to step on Jinxiu to show off! Don't you think this vicious vixen should be killed?"

Wang became more and more excited as she spoke, wishing she could pounce on Su Muyu and grab her beautiful and alluring face.

Su Muxue quickly covered Wang's mouth and whispered scolding, "Mother, are you crazy? Shut up!"

"Pah!" Madam Wang spat in Su Muxue's face and cursed, "You slut!"

Su Muxue's face turned pale, and she trembled with anger. She never expected that Madam Wang would be so rude and barbaric, actually insulting her in public. She was the wife of the Prime Minister, and she was used to putting on airs. Suddenly being humiliated like this, she was immediately enraged.

Su Muyu glanced at Su Muxue, then looked at Prime Minister Su, and said, "Uncle, look at my eldest sister. She was unfriendly to me as soon as she came in. I just sat a little further away, and she got upset. In my memory, my eldest sister has always been very kind to me. Why is she like this today?"

Su Muyu opened her bright, almond-shaped eyes wide and blinked as she stared at Prime Minister Su, her tearful expression pitiful and aggrieved.

Wang was so angry at Su Muyu that she jumped up and down. Su Muyu was clearly making false accusations! How could this brat have become so cunning? She was simply lawless and audacious.

Prime Minister Su glanced at Madam Wang and reprimanded her in a stern voice: "Xue'er, how can you be so ill-mannered? How can you bully your sister-in-law like this?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Wang's eyes instantly reddened, and she choked out, "Prime Minister, I am innocent! I have never done anything to bully Mu Yu. I was just concerned about her, but she is making a scene here. I only asked her a few questions, and she said I bullied her. I don't ask for your pity, but I am still Xue'er's biological mother. How have I treated her all these years? Doesn't Your Majesty know?"

Wang cried so hard that tears streamed down her face, each crystal-clear tear falling to the ground.

Su Muyu frowned as she watched; Wang Shi really had no shame!

"Mom, don't be sad. Dad may not love you, but I will," Su Muxue assured her, patting her chest.

Su Muyu rolled her eyes, but she was truly impressed by Wang's acting skills. She really admired Wang's shamelessness and lack of any sense of decency.

Su Muyu felt that if she were a man, she definitely wouldn't like a woman like Wang.

Upon hearing what Wang Shi and Su Muxue said, Su Mujing felt heartbroken. He had indeed neglected the mother and daughter recently, causing them to be mistreated by their mother-in-law. Now they were being bullied like this.

"Sister-in-law, Xue'er is still young, please don't hold it against her," Su Mujing gently advised Su Muyu.

Su Muyu sneered inwardly. She had long seen through what kind of person this cheap older brother was. He was definitely biased towards the Wang mother and daughter, otherwise how could he have tortured the original owner to death?

"Brother is right, I misunderstood Aunt." Su Muyu apologized obediently, "I apologize to Aunt, please don't take it to heart."

Listening to the interactions between the siblings, Wang became even more convinced that Su Muyu was a treacherous and ruthless person.

She secretly vowed that once she became the official wife, she would never let Su Muyu set foot in the Prime Minister's residence again!

Su Muyu felt a surge of disgust at Wang Shi's fierce gaze. Did Wang Shi really think she was afraid of her?

"Since Mother likes this seat so much, why don't you sit there?" Su Muyu said calmly, glancing at Wang Shi out of the corner of her eye. Seeing Wang Shi's eager expression, Su Muyu smiled and knew she wouldn't give her the chance!

Su Muyu pointed to the empty seat to her lower right, "Auntie, please."

When Wang saw that she pointed at her, she was surprised and furious. How dare a concubine like her ask her to give up her seat?

She stood up angrily and sat down to Su Muyu's left. Su Mujing sat next to her, while Su Muyu remained by the window. Prime Minister Su sat in the chair in the center, with Su Muxue and Su Mujing by his side. The Su family ate together at the table.

During the meal, Su Muxue frequently served food to Wang Shi and kept persuading Wang Shi not to hold a grudge against Su Muyu. Su Muyu watched this farce with a smile.

After the meal was finished, Prime Minister Su instructed his servants to remove the bowls and chopsticks.

"Father, shall we stay here tonight?" Su Muxue asked.

"Hmm," Prime Minister Su replied casually.

Wang was overjoyed and tugged at Su Mujing's sleeve, saying, "Jing'er, did you see? Master has agreed. You'll sleep with me tonight." Wang looked at Su Mujing with anticipation; she hadn't seen her son for many days.

“Okay, my son will sleep with you tonight,” Su Mujing said with a hearty laugh.

Wang smiled happily, "Jing'er, you must help your mother this time, she's so pitiful."

Su Muxue couldn't help but purse her lips upon hearing this.

Su Mujing glanced at Su Muyu and sighed silently in his heart.

“My dear niece, our family hasn’t been together for a long time. You can come home with us tonight and move back tomorrow morning,” Prime Minister Su said kindly, like a grandfather who dotes on his granddaughter.

Although Prime Minister Su was outwardly polite to Su Muyu, the coldness flashing in his eyes betrayed his hidden thoughts: he didn't trust Su Muyu, or rather, he was wary of her.

Su Muyu sneered inwardly. As expected of an old fox, he clearly didn't trust her, yet he pretended to be affectionate towards her.

"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer," Su Muyu said with a smile.

Prime Minister Su glanced at Su Muyu with a complicated expression, wondering to himself, "What on earth is this girl up to?" He couldn't help but suspect that Su Muyu might know something, which was why she was acting so recklessly.
