"Dad! You must agree with me and take her to jail and give her a good beating!"

Xu Caier cried and made a fuss, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Xu Younian's face twitched wildly. He recognized Su Xuqing. When he asked the Blood Robe Tower to assassinate her, he had personally delivered her portrait.

"Bastard thing!"

Xu Younian slapped Xu Caier in the face with his backhand, with such force that several clear finger marks were visible on the other half of Xu Caier's long face.

Xu Caier was stunned and looked at Xu Younian in surprise, "Dad, why did you hit me!"

Seeing this, Xu Younian's wife Wang protected Xu Caier with heartache, "Master, are you tired and confused? Your daughter was wronged, why did you hit her?"

"Being wronged?"

Xu Younian was so angry that he had a headache. He said coldly, "Don't you know what kind of temper she has? Can she bear being wronged? Fortunately, I came with you today, otherwise you would have almost caused a disaster."

"Get out of the way!"

Xu Younian pushed Xu Caier and Wang away and walked quickly to Su Xuqing.

"Your humble servant Xu Younian greets the Crown Prince's wife."

Seeing Xu Younian approaching, Xue Tao quickly lowered her head, fearing that he would recognize her.

Su Xuqing raised her eyes and looked at Xu Younian, and said in a cold tone: "Master Xu, I don't like to cause trouble. Just now, your daughter came in and started cursing. I didn't bother with her, but she later went too far and tried to snatch the fabric I ordered. She even kicked me. Is it okay for me to teach her a lesson?"

"Not too much, not too much."

Xu Younian waved his hands quickly and said in a serious tone: "This child has been spoiled by her mother. I will teach her a lesson when I get back so that the Crown Prince's Consort will calm down."

Seeing that he was so reasonable, Su Xuqing's anger quickly dissipated. Besides, this man was a high-ranking official in the court, so she didn't care whether she had any grudge against him or not, so she didn't care.

"Okay, it's not a big deal, forget it."

Su Xuqing finished writing the address on the note, then walked out with Yinhuan and Xue Tao.

Wang knew Su Xuqing's identity and quickly pulled Xu Caier aside to make way.

Xu Caier lowered her head, her eyes full of reluctance. After all, it was because of her low social status. If she could marry the third prince, she would be able to walk around the huge capital city with ease.

Xu Younian breathed a sigh of relief. Although he wanted to kill Su Xuqing, he could not offend the Zhennan Palace openly because of his secret plan at that time...

Otherwise, if the old prince came back from the border, he would have several heads to lose.

Xu Younian walked quickly forward, wanting to escort Su Xuqing out of the shop. When he got closer, he took a quick glance and found that the maid beside Su Xuqing looked very familiar.

"Princess, is this your maid?"

"Why do you ask this, Lord Shangshu?"

Su Xuqing stopped and looked at Xu Younian, while Xue Tao was panicking. The door was full of people from the Ministry of Justice, and if her identity was discovered, she would be unable to escape.

Xu Younian's eyes fell on Xue Tao's face, and he said in a deep voice: "This person looks a bit like the fugitive being pursued by the Ministry of Justice."

"A fugitive?"

Su Xuqing saw a wanted poster on the pillar at the entrance of the shop. On it was a portrait of the owner of the Bloody Clothes Tower, who did look somewhat similar to Hong Tao.

Xue Tao became more and more nervous. She slowly raised her hand. If the situation went wrong, she planned to take Su Xuqing hostage and evacuate.

Su Xuqing thought for a moment, then smiled, "Master Xu, are you trying to say that this Bloody Robe Tower Master is the maidservant beside me?"

Xu Younian pondered for a moment, and then felt that his idea was a bit absurd.

"I am overthinking it. Please take care, Princess."

Xue Tao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed Su Xuqing into the carriage.

Xu Younian bowed and saw the carriage off. When the carriage drove away, he suddenly turned around and said in a cold tone: "You only know how to stir up trouble. And yet you still expect you to marry the Third Prince? You are dreaming!"

Xu Caier's cheeks were red and swollen. She clenched her teeth tightly when she heard the words, feeling unwilling.

After returning to the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, Su Xuqing saw that Shen Xuanheng had not returned yet, so she sat under the peach tree and studied medical books. Yinhuan cleaned the yard, and Xue Tao served tea and water.

Xue Tao sat on the small stool at Su Xuqing's feet, feeling the warm breeze. She suddenly felt that such days were pretty good. If it wasn't for revenge, she wouldn't have set up the Blood Clothes Tower.

Now that I have been freed, even though I am still a slave, I don’t have to live in fear every day, afraid of being purged by the government…

It would be nice if my identity could remain undiscovered...

Before she knew it, it was afternoon. Su Xuqing thought today would be a peaceful day, but suddenly news came from the Duke's Mansion that Zhao had fallen ill.

"Ma'am, do you want to go back and take a look?"

Yinhuan rubbed Su Xuqing's shoulders and asked softly.

"No, she's sick, so what does it have to do with me?"

Su Xuqing didn't hide her disgust at all, and her disgust was written all over her face.

Xue Tao didn't understand and was a little surprised. She thought Su Xuqing had a good personality, but she didn't expect that she was actually an unfilial person...

Upon hearing this, Yinhuan went to the door to inform the people in the Duke's Mansion that Su Xuqing was busy and couldn't leave.

Su Xuqing thought that the matter could be resolved in this way, but she didn't expect that not long after, Su Miner came to the fourth room in a rage.

"Su Xuqing, what do you mean? You didn't even go back to see your mother when she was sick?"

"She is your mother, not my mother. Why should I go to see her?"

Su Xuqing looked at Su Min'er suspiciously, "Did you spend a few days in jail and your brain got damaged?"

Xue Tao, who was standing by, looked at Su Min'er and immediately understood that this person was the one who came out of Jingji Prefecture that day and cursed Su Xuqing in the carriage...

Su Min'er snorted coldly and continued, "Even if she is not your biological mother, she is still your mother's family. You obviously have nothing wrong, but you refuse to go. If this matter gets out, people will definitely say that you, the Crown Prince's Consort, are unfilial. Then the Zhennan Palace will be ashamed along with you."

Su Xuqing was stunned for a moment and almost laughed out loud, "How can it be so funny to hear you say such words as bringing shame to the Zhennan Palace? Haven't you done enough things that brought shame to the Palace?"

"Qing'er."

The old princess' voice suddenly came, and Su Xuqing hurriedly stood up from the rattan chair and supported Shan Qian.

"Mom, why are you here?"

The old princess looked a little solemn. She patted Su Xuqing's hand and said, "I heard that your aunt is suddenly seriously ill and she won't have much time left. You two should put aside your grudges and go back to see her."

Su Xuqing originally didn't bother to care about Zhao's life or death, but since it was the old princess who spoke, she would definitely not let her words fall on the floor.

"Got it, mom. I'll be there right away."

Then Su Xuqing prepared herself and went out with two maids.

In the carriage, Su Xuqing felt something was wrong, because in her previous life, Zhao had always lived a good life, was well-fed, and she had never heard of her being seriously ill.

Why did she suddenly become seriously ill in this life? Was she playing tricks on me?
