Su Lingyue brought Caidie Caiyi to Xue Man’s Chunhuayuan, which was full of people.

Xue Man was wearing a dark green cross-collared brocade gown, standing in front of a group of servants, with a fierce look on her face, as if she was ready to eat someone. Su Nanxing was wearing a veil hat, standing next to Xue Man. On the other side stood the eldest sister-in-law Li Qingyuan and the second sister-in-law Song Fenghe, looking at Su Lingyue and Caidie Caiyi at the door.

"Madam." Caidie and Caiyi bowed and saluted.

Su Lingyue looked at Xue Man's aggressive look and asked calmly, "Mother, what do you want to talk to my two maids about?"

Xue Man snorted coldly and said, "What's the matter? Your maids openly discussed the Second Young Lady in the courtyard and spoke rudely. Today I will beat these two slaves to death on the spot as a warning."

Caidie Caiyi knelt down immediately after hearing this, her body trembling slightly as she said, "Madam, my sister and I didn't mention the Second Miss. We were just discussing something in a storybook, and the Second Miss heard it and thought we were talking about her. That's what happened, Madam, you can see clearly."

Su Nanxing stepped forward and said angrily, "You liar, I clearly heard you talking about me and Prince Su, and now you are trying to quibble. Mother, there is no need to say more to them, just beat them to death."

"Who dares!"

Su Lingyue stepped forward and stood in front of Caidie Caiyi, looking at Yao Man and Su Nanxing without fear and with a determined look.

Su Nanxing looked at Su Lingyue's protective look, and thought about how she had been talking and laughing with Brother Shi in the past few days, and the scene where she fell from the observation pavilion, and she became very angry.

"Su Lingyue, these two slaves of yours openly talked about their master in public. They are dead today and you can't protect them! Hold down Su Lingyue and beat the two slaves to death!"

Su Nanxing's tone was extremely cold and full of ruthlessness. Yao Man did not say anything. Her meaning was very clear. She agreed with Su Nanxing's approach, but Su Lingyue was the future Crown Princess. Who would dare to offend her?

The maids and old women were undecided for a moment and just stood there not daring to move.

Seeing that the maids and servants were silent, Yao Man angrily said, "Why don't you come up! Your indentures are in my hands. You decide for yourself who the Duke Dingguo's Mansion will obey!"

Yao Man's words were full of threats. The maids and old women looked at each other and finally made up their minds. They rushed forward and pinned down all three of them.

Eldest sister-in-law Li Qingyuan advised: "Mother, this matter is of no trivial importance. We should reconsider it." She knew that the Queen loved Su Lingyue. If this matter was brought to the Queen, Xue Man might not be able to get away with it.

Second sister-in-law Song Fenghe also echoed: "Yes, mother, why do you have to hurt the harmony because of two girls."

Xue Man glared at the two of them and said coldly, "Stop interrupting me, the two of you."

She was used to being bossy in the mansion, so how could she listen to others? The eldest sister-in-law Li Qingyuan held the hand of the second sister-in-law Song Fenghe and shook her head. The two of them did not dare to say anything else.

Xue Man is now in charge of all matters in the mansion, big and small, and it is not something the two of them can influence.

Su Lingyue struggled, but the maids and old women were usually the ones doing the work and were stronger than her, so she couldn't break free.

Seeing that the maid was about to drag Caidie Caiyi onto the bench, Su Lingyue threatened in a stern voice: "How dare you? I am the future Crown Princess, and my wedding is in three days. If there is bloodshed before the wedding, can you afford to take responsibility if something happens?"

Yao Man walked to Su Lingyue's side, looked at Su Lingyue, eyes full of hatred, and said coldly: "I am the eldest lady of the Dingguo Mansion. I can still deal with the lives of two maids. Even if you find the Queen, she will not punish my Dingguo Mansion for two maids. Beat!"

Su Lingyue shouted, "Wait! I can restore my second sister's appearance to its original state in exchange for their lives!"

Hearing this, Su Nanxing hurried forward to stop the maids and servants who were about to execute her, then walked up to Su Lingyue and asked, "Do you really have a way to help me restore my appearance?"

Su Lingyue nodded: "Yes! Let us go first."

Su Nanxing ordered: "Let go!"

The maids and servants let go of their hands. Su Lingyue pulled up Caidie Caiyi who was lying on the bench, then turned to look at Su Nanxing: "I have a condition. Release them both. They were originally maids bought for me by my uncle, and their indentures are in my uncle's hands. Just hurry back."

After hearing this, Su Nanxing hurriedly said, "I promise you, as long as you can restore my appearance!"

Xue Man also said coldly: "You'd better tell the truth!"

Su Lingyue looked at Xue Man and said calmly, "Of course, second sister, come with me."

Under the gaze of everyone, Su Lingyue brought Su Nanxing into the room, and Xue Man followed behind.

Su Lingyue took out a rouge box from her purse and looked at Su Nanxing who was wearing a veiled hat.

Su Nanxing hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to take off the veil.

The moment the veil was taken off, Su Lingyue was frightened by Su Nanxing's face. There was a centipede-like scar running from Su Nanxing's forehead to her jaw. Because the wound was too deep, the blood scab was still there.

Seeing the anger in Su Nanxing's eyes, Su Lingyue did not waste any time and began to put makeup on Su Nanxing.

This kind of rouge was developed by Su Lingyue after she was ridiculed and hated in her previous life and could no longer bear it. She spent five years on it.

Rouge was gently applied on Su Nanxing's scar, and after a while, a thin film formed to cover the scar. It was just because of the raised blood scab that there were still some raised marks.

"Although there are still some marks, they are basically the same as the skin. Once the blood scab falls off, there will be no marks when I apply it again."

Su Nanxing looked at herself in the mirror, as if she saw hope again. She held the mirror and walked towards Xue Man, saying excitedly, "Mother, take a look, is it covered?"

Xue Man held Su Nanxing's face and looked at her carefully.

Indeed, apart from the protruding marks, it is no different from normal skin.

Xue Man walked to Su Lingyue and stretched out his hand, his eyes full of oppression.

Su Lingyue understood what she meant, chuckled, and put the rouge box in Xue Man's hands.

Xue Man looked at the rouge box in her hand and asked coldly, "Is this the only one?"

Su Lingyue didn't beat around the bush and took out a piece of paper and said, "Yes, but I have a method to make it. Let them out."

The three of them went out of the house, and Xue Man ordered Caidie and Caiyi to be driven out of the mansion.

Before leaving the house, Caiyi looked at Su Lingyue. Su Lingyue nodded at her. Caiyi then took Caidie and walked out without looking back.

After the two of them left the house, Su Lingyue handed the prescription in her hand to Xue Man. Xue Man took the prescription, opened it, frowned and shouted angrily: "Su Lingyue, are you kidding me? What's wrong with musk! Don't treat me as a fool."

Su Lingyue chuckled: "Oh, that, you don't have to. Musk can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Without musk, the wound may become red, swollen and itchy after using the ointment for a long time."

Afterwards, Su Lingyue looked at Xue Man and Su Nanxing with a smile, her eyes full of provocation and pride: "However, my second sister is marrying Prince Su, not the crown prince, so there is not much difference with or without musk, right!" After that, she walked towards the gate of Chunhua Courtyard.

"Su Lingyue, don't be too proud!" Su Nanxing's gritting teeth voice came from behind.

Su Lingyue curled her lips and ignored her. As she walked, she said to Xue Man, "Mother, I don't have any personal maids in my courtyard. The wedding is in three days. I would like to trouble you to arrange a few capable ones to come over."

After saying that, he left the yard without looking back.

The eldest sister-in-law Li Qingyuan and the second sister-in-law Song Fenghe looked at each other and cheered secretly in their hearts. Su Nanxing has always been arrogant and often bullied the two of them. Now he has been defeated by Su Lingyue again. It is really the retribution of fate.

Watching Su Lingyue leaving, Su Nanxing looked at Xue Man and said, "Mother, I don't want to marry Prince Su. Please help me."

In Prince Su's mansion, Xiao Yu sat on a reclining chair under a willow tree in the courtyard, and fell asleep with his eyes closed. It was almost May, and he was still covered with a black fur cloak. The sunlight shone through the willow branches onto Xiao Yu, and his pale face seemed to have regained some color.

Lu Bo walked to Xiao Yu with a bowl of medicine and placed it on the stone table beside him. Looking at the pale-faced Xiao Yu, he couldn't help but sigh: "Such a good boy, how could he become like this!"

He had been to the battlefield and killed the Huns before. The young man in fine clothes and riding a horse now has to take medicine all day long. It is unknown how long this body can last.

Lu Bo walked to Xiao Yu's side and gently woke him up: "My Lord, it's time to take the medicine."

Xiao Yu slowly opened his eyes. The sunlight was a bit dazzling. He closed his eyes and waited for his eyes to adjust to the light before opening them. He looked at the old man beside him and said, "Uncle Lu, can you please not drink it? It won't have any effect if you drink it!"

Lu Bo walked to the stone table and brought the medicine bowl over, firmly refusing: "No, although the effect is minimal, it is better than not drinking it."

Xiao Yu said nothing more. He took the medicine bowl, drank the medicine in it, then lay down and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.

"The prince's wedding will be in three days. Shouldn't the palace make some preparations?" asked Uncle Lu.

Xiao Yu opened his eyes, which were full of coldness at this time. He said in a deep voice: "No need. They forced the person here. We know what to do. There is no need to go through all that formality. Just proceed as usual."

The reason why his good brother hasn't killed him yet is because of what he has in his hand. The same goes for the arranged marriage. It's just to have more spies. Why go through that false formality?

Uncle Lu was walking back with the medicine bowl in his hand when he ran into Yan Qing who was rushing towards him.

"Yan Qing, what are you doing?"

Yan Qing looked up and saw Uncle Lu coming towards him with an empty medicine bowl in his hand. His round eyes narrowed into two crescents and he smiled, "Your Highness, have you gotten up to take medicine? It just so happens that the silk shop just came to ask when the mansion will be decorated. They want to give us a discount. I'll go ask Your Highness."

Uncle Lu said, "No need to go. I just asked, and the prince has no intention of organizing it."

"Ah? Why? This is the prince marrying a wife, it is a big event, how can we not do it!"

Yan Qing was very dissatisfied. When she went out to buy things, she usually told the shops that their products would be used for the prince's wedding in order to get the lowest price. Now that she was not going to do it, how could she explain to the merchants? Wouldn't this make her break her promise to others?

"How can you be so stupid? This is clearly a spy, but you can't see it." The speaker was a stern-looking young man dressed in black, with a long sword hanging on his waist. There was an inexplicable murderous aura about him.

Yan Qing looked at the person who came, glared at him with her round eyes, walked up to him and said unhappily: "Yun Ting, of course I know, it is at least a nominal wedding, our house hasn't been lively for a long time, why not change the look and let the prince see it and be happy!"

Yun Ting looked at him coldly and said, "The prince will not be happy about this marriage."

Yan Qing said: "You are not the prince, how do you know? I will ask the prince."

"Just do it if you want to. Just do it casually. Don't overdo it."

The one who spoke was Xiao Yu, who was walking towards this side from under the willow tree wearing a black fur cloak.

Yan Qing immediately walked to Xiao Yu's side, supported him, and smiled triumphantly at Yun Ting.

Yun Ting looked at him coldly as if he were a fool, ignored him, and then handed a letter to Xiao Yu: "Your Majesty, this is a letter from General Zhao in the north."

Xiao Yu took the letter handed to him by Yun Ting and walked straight to the study.
