Chapter 47 Envy, Jealousy, and Hatred

Su Xianxin, who was choosing jewelry, was stunned by the two slaps. Even Zhao, who was standing next to her, was startled.

"Master, why are you beating the core for no reason?"

"What? Ask her what good thing she has done!" Prime Minister Su glared at Su Xianxin.

Su Xianxin covered her face, and immediately realized that what she had done was exposed. She showed an aggrieved expression: "Dad, you hit me?"

"I'm going to hit you. The Duke of Anguo's Mansion has sent Hu Da to their door in person. He has brought shame to your father, and you still have the nerve to question me?

Don't you know that your fiancé, the Fourth Prince, has been confined? The Duke of Anguo's Mansion is a great help to us now. Are you planning to let them turn to other princes? With a brain like yours that makes enemies everywhere, you still want to sit in that position. I think you are wishful thinking!"

Prime Minister Su was very disappointed with his friend.

In the past, his younger daughter was dissatisfied with his older daughter, but he turned a blind eye to it. However, the younger daughter became more and more stupid as she grew up.

Hearing this, Su Xianxin's face turned pale. She didn't think so much. She just couldn't stand Su Xianye's good life. It would be best if she was disliked by Lu Zhanxing. But now...

Mrs. Zhao also knew that her daughter had done something stupid, and frowned and said, "Xin'er, you are about to get married, why are you still so childish? The Duke of Anguo's Mansion is a helper for you and the Fourth Prince, how can you push it away? Now you've made your sister angry, haven't you?"

Su Xianxin knew that the Fourth Prince had recently angered the Emperor and was even under house arrest, so she was just upset. She just couldn't stand Su Xianye's good life in the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, and she just wanted to vent her anger. Why would she consider so many things?

She looked at her father pitifully: "Dad, I know I was wrong. It was because the Fourth Prince was under house arrest that I was a little upset and wanted to play a joke on my sister. How could I know all this!"

Little did they know that if this joke succeeded, it could ruin a person.

Seeing that her daughter knew she was wrong, Zhao said quickly, "Master, Xin'er is young and sometimes she is bound to be upset. Please forgive her. Now we should think about how to repair the relationship with the Anguo Mansion."

Prime Minister Su snorted coldly. This daughter was still useful, so he didn't blame her anymore.

"Tomorrow, you will personally bring a large gift to the Anguo Mansion to apologize to Xianye and be fully polite to me. If she refuses to forgive you, you will kneel down and I believe she will not dare to make trouble again."

If she still refuses to forgive her stepmother when she kneels down to her daughter, then she is malicious and intolerant. Does she dare to keep this reputation?

Although Zhao was somewhat reluctant, she knew that if she did not do this, the Anguo Mansion would be embarrassed and it would inevitably affect the Fourth Prince, so she could only nod in agreement.

After Prime Minister Su left, Zhao Shi felt sorry for her daughter and said, "Why didn't you discuss this with your mother before you did anything?"

"Mom, how could I know that Zhang and her son were so useless?"

After that, she started to act coquettishly towards her mother: "Mom, I just can't stand the fact that she lives better than me. Not only has my reputation been damaged, but even the Fourth Prince has been confined to his house. Why am I so miserable..."

Zhao hugged her daughter distressedly: "Okay, the Fourth Prince is still a prince after all, he is just under house arrest for a month, your father will help him get back on track.

However, you cannot target that bitch Su Xianye for the time being. When you take the throne, she will be at your mercy. You can make her kneel as long as you want, and no one dares to say anything. If you push her away now, it will not be worth it."

"But, mother..." Su Xianxin was still a little unwilling.

"Don't worry about it. Just bear with it. Even if you can't sit in that position, you are still the future princess. No one dares to say anything to you. Just be obedient..."

After Zhao comforted her for a while, Su Xianxin reluctantly stopped having any bad thoughts.

But who knows, the Fourth Prince is eager to go against the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.

In his previous life, the Fourth Prince died at the hands of Lu Zhanyan. How could he swallow this?

I wonder what the Fourth Prince would think if he knew that Prime Minister Su was trying to win over the Duke of Anguo's Mansion?

Although the Fourth Prince was under house arrest, it was still easy for him to pass on a message.

Mu Qingli felt that the incident did not cause any harm to the Anguo Mansion, so she did not plan to inform the Fourth Prince. However, in order to gain the Fourth Prince's favor, the new aide Tan Ling actively passed the news of the incident in the Anguo Mansion to the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince just felt it was a pity that he didn't ruin Su Xianye and bring discredit to the Anguo Mansion, but at least he did cause trouble for the Anguo Mansion.

He sent a letter to Tan Ling, attached a deposit of 1,000 taels, asking him to hire a killer to kill Lu Zhanyan and absolutely not let him come back alive, and also asking him not to tell Mu Qingli about this.

The Fourth Prince thought that Mu Qingli was not working seriously for him, otherwise why would she not inform him of such important news?

When Tan Ling saw that the Fourth Prince trusted him so much and even kept it a secret from another aide, he was overjoyed and naturally made arrangements without hesitation.

Mu Qingli sent messages to the palace to the Fourth Prince many times, wanting to discuss the next plan, but the thing that Tan Ling mentioned was not included. The Fourth Prince snorted coldly and only told him not to pay attention.

There was no news after that, and Mu Qingli clearly felt that the Fourth Prince did not trust her.

So, he asked someone to quietly follow the new aide Tan Ling, and sure enough, he seemed very busy.

Under the bright candlelight, slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, and Mu Qingli's deep eyes flashed with the light that could see through people's hearts.

Then he sneered softly, which seemed to exclude him!

After a moment's silence, Mu Qingli decided to give the Fourth Prince another chance. If after the Fourth Prince came out of house arrest, he still was unwilling to use him, then he would plan to withdraw.

Although he is loyal to his master after recognizing him, his master must trust him and not doubt him. Otherwise, why should he be loyal to a master who does not trust him?

"Wuming, how are the two sisters Huali and Huaguo?"

A shadow covered with a black cloth appeared and said, "Master, the twin sisters have lost contact."

But his face was shocked, and he suddenly reacted and asked in surprise: "Were you discovered?"

"I went to the Anguogong Mansion to check, but the two sisters were nowhere to be found, and we couldn't get in touch with them at all. As for the Anguogong's courtyard, there were too many guards, so I couldn't find out. They might have met with an accident."

After Mu Qingli was shocked, she was deeply amazed and felt that it was as she expected.

The second young master Lu of the Anguo Mansion is not a real playboy, but a fake playboy with a plan in mind.

Lu Zhanyan is already hard to deal with, if there is another one, I'm afraid...

What shocked him the most was that the Fourth Prince actually believed in the playboy Lu Zhanxing. How deep was this disguise?

Fourth Prince, Fourth Prince, have you ever thought about the real reason why you keep miscalculating?

However, I spent a lot of effort to raise the twin sisters, and it would be heartbreaking if they were really gone.

I wonder if Lu Zhanxing spared their lives?

"Have Qingyao Huafang send an invitation to Second Young Master Lu, saying that they have something important to tell you, something about Lu Zhanyan."

He wanted to meet Lu Zhanxing. If he could save the twin sisters, he wouldn't mind doing her a favor.

The next day, the Prime Minister's wife, Zhao, and her daughter personally went to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion with gifts to apologize.

Although the mother and daughter are also ladies and the prime minister's residence is naturally magnificent, it is nothing compared to the Anguo Mansion.

The Anguo Mansion is worthy of being a noble family that has been passed down for hundreds of years and is very luxurious and grand.

It covers a large area and is divided into the outer courtyard and the main courtyard:

In addition to the servants and servants, the outer courtyard also employs thousands of guards;

Everywhere you look, there are mountains, water, flowers, trees, as well as wonderful sights, stunning towers and palaces. It is an enormous garden and man-made scenic spot that is incomparably luxurious and has exhausted human imagination.

There is a new scene at every step, and every place is exquisite and magnificent, surpassing the work of nature.

The interior of such a Duke Anguo Mansion was not much different from that of an imperial palace. The manpower, material resources and financial resources required for daily maintenance were unimaginable.

When they learned that Su Xianye lived in such a luxurious place, the mother and daughter could hardly hide the envy and jealousy in their eyes.
