Pretending to be Hurt to Gain Sympathy

"Mother, are we going to let Su Yingxue do as she pleases?" Su Yurou started crying, feeling aggrieved. Ever since her last fall into the water, she had been constantly suppressed by Su Yingxue and hadn't lifted her head.

She was becoming increasingly uncertain and impatient. She was too eager to witness Su Yingxue's downfall and teach her a lesson.

"Don't be hasty. Bear with it a little longer. Today, you'll tidy up this courtyard with me. Tonight, we'll invite your father over for a meal." Liu Shulan consoled Su Yurou. A hidden glint of determination shone in her eyes.

Old Madam Zhang kept a watchful eye on Qingxin Court and reported to Su Yingxue about Liu Shulan and her daughter personally tidying up the courtyard.

She also reminded Su Yingxue, "Marquis will be having dinner at Qingxin Court tonight."
