Isn't that just doing someone else's work for them?
Su Xuerong led Xiuchun forward, her expression unchanged, but Xiuchun beside her was fuming: "Wife, did she do something to betray you?"
"It's nothing..." Su Xuerong said calmly.
Compared to Chen Siyi and Fang Mingzhu, Fang Ningzhu's little trick didn't have much of an impact on her.
Since Madam Xiang had already decided to let her son marry her niece, how could she, an outsider, possibly influence the decision? She simply accelerated the process.
"Lady Su!"
A timid voice suddenly came from beside me.
Su Xuerong turned her head and saw Zeng Ling, who looked very thin.

Seeing the melancholy and helplessness in her eyes, Su Xuerong's heart softened immediately: "Madam Zeng, how can I help you?"
Zeng Ling held her hand tightly, her face showing an extremely embarrassed and ashamed expression. After a long while, she bit her lip and said, "Can you...can you help me ask the Prince to intervene and let...let Ge Huai'an and I get a divorce?"
