He thought he would see a look of horror on Su Xuerou's face after saying these things, but to his surprise, Su Xuerou looked disdainful.
"That idiot Su He thinks she can deal with me? She's just asking for trouble."
Now that she has the help of some kind of demonic energy, ordinary people have no way to deal with her.
Cui'er found it strange, since she had been by Su Xuerou's side for so long and had some understanding of her temperament.
Remembering the Minister's wife's instructions, Cui'er could only tentatively ask Su Xuerou, "Second Madam, have you thought of any solutions?"
"Or is there anything that needs to be done by this servant?"
"No need."
Su Xuerou raised her hand and answered with an annoyed expression.
"We don't need you here, get out."
Cui'er was initially nervous, thinking that Su Xuerou would continue to have an attack, but to her surprise, Su Xuerou told her to leave directly.
"What, do I have to repeat myself again?"
Seeing that Cui'er was still standing there and showed no sign of leaving, Su Xuerou became dissatisfied.
"No...no, this servant will leave now."
After saying that, Cui'er hurriedly left.
This is too strange; she must report it immediately.
After Cui'er left, the black aura reappeared in front of Su Xuerou.
"Fool, you've been betrayed and you don't even know it."
Su Xuerou was stunned. After hearing this, she was first shocked, then quickly reacted, her voice still carrying a hint of disbelief.
"Are you saying that Cui'er betrayed me?"
The silence of the black mist confirmed Su Xuerou's doubts.
She said she felt something was off ever since Cui'er came back, and besides, no matter how different Cui'er was, she was just a maid.
How could someone possibly have the ability to get their father to personally intervene?
Damn Cui'er!
Su Xuerou gritted her teeth in hatred at the thought of this, wishing she could bring Cui'er back right now and let her know the price of her actions.
"I don't care who you want to teach a lesson to, but you must provide me with a constant source of power."
Su Xuerou's face turned pale.
His tone was carefully ingratiating.
"Then what should I do?"
Under Su Xuerou's questioning, the black mist spoke again, "I need a lot of greed and evil thoughts. I have heard that you have a place here called a gambling den."
Su Xuerou instantly understood the meaning of the black mist.
As for Cui'er, she'd rather see why this lowly servant dared to come back after betraying her.
What is Cui'er's purpose?
She would deal with Cui'er after she had thoroughly figured things out!
In the following days, Jiang Mubai refused Su Xuerou's visits for various reasons.
Su Xuerou felt resentful and unwilling to accept the situation.
She has sacrificed so much for Jiang Mubai and the entire Marquis's mansion, yet this is how she is treated in return.
How could she possibly swallow this insult?
Just as Su Xuerou was feeling indignant about this matter, she suddenly heard a murmur of discussion coming from not far away.
The maids didn't notice Su Xuerou approaching and continued talking.
"Have you heard? The old lady has been busy lately arranging for the Marquis to take a concubine?"
"Taking a concubine?" some of the other maids exclaimed in surprise.
“But the Marquis is not only concerned about the second wife, but also about his former wife, who is now Miss Ye.”
Will the Marquis agree to this?
"That's not necessarily true. Haven't you noticed that the Marquis's attitude towards that second wife has become noticeably colder lately? Miss Ye is so wonderful, why is the Marquis like this..."
"What are you lowly servants saying?!"
Su Xuerou couldn't hold back after hearing these words, so she rushed out and slapped them across the face.
"It's none of your business how I am."
"Someone come here!"
Su Xuerou reprimanded her sternly.
The commotion caused by Su Xuerou alerted the housekeeper.
The butler approached Su Xuerou and asked, "Second Madam, what are your instructions?"
"Steward, you've come at the right time! These maids have no respect for their place. I order you to have them beaten to death right now!"
Upon hearing Su Xuerou's words, the maids trembled with fear and kept begging for mercy.
"Second...Second Madam, please let us go. We will never dare to do it again."
The steward also stood up to speak for the maids at this moment.
"Second Madam, I feel that these people did not do it intentionally. Isn't it too harsh to punish them by beating them to death?"
"Butler, are you questioning my orders?"
Su Xuerou approached the butler with a gloomy face, and at the same time, a red light flashed in her eyes.
In that instant, the butler seemed to have lost his mind, and replied woodenly, "I will obey the Second Madam's orders."
“Drag them all out and beat them to death.”
Cui'er watched all of this carefully from the shadows.
She quickly left just before Su Xuerou discovered what was happening; she needed to report these matters immediately.
When did this second wife become like this? It's truly terrifying.
The Ministry of Personnel.
Su He was extremely shocked after learning what had happened to Su Xuerou.
Are you sure what you're saying is true?
"Su Xuerou's facial injuries have all healed."
Su He found it unbelievable just hearing what Cui'er said.
"Cui'er, you wouldn't be saying this on purpose just to lie to me, would you?"
Cui'er shook her head in horror.
"Young Miss, I am so grateful to Madam for sparing my life, how could I dare to lie to you?"
"If you don't believe me, you can go to the Marquis's residence and see for yourself."
"Alright, I'll go and see. If what you're saying is false, don't blame me for being rude to you."
"Go back now."
Cui'er breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left the Minister's residence.
But when she returned to the Marquis's residence, she found Su Xuerou already waiting there.
Startled by Su Xuerou's sudden appearance, Cui'er took several steps back.
"Second...Second Madam, what are you doing here?"
"Cui'er, you betrayed me, and you dare ask me why I'm here?"
Su Xuerou pressed closer to Chao Tang Cui'er, while black mist enveloped her.
"Second Madam, I was forced into this."
Cui'er finally realized something was wrong and kept begging Su Xuerou for mercy.
"I told you before, betrayal comes at a price!"
Until the black mist completely swallowed them up, Cui'er disappeared without a trace.
"My power has increased once again."
The next day, Su He arrived at the Marquis's residence and met Su Xuerou. Just as Cui'er had said, the injuries on Su Xuerou's face had completely healed.
How is that possible?
Faced with Su He's shock and Su Xuerou's shock, Su He's face showed great satisfaction.
"What's wrong, Su He? You're not happy at all that I'm healed?"
"Or perhaps Cui'er didn't explain things to you in enough detail?"
Su He's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.
"What did you do to Cui'er?" Su He asked Su Xuerou.
"That lowly servant dared to betray me; she certainly doesn't deserve to live in this world!"
