After Su Wanwan left, Su Er finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke out what was on his mind.
“Mother, I consider myself no less than the sisters in the manor. If one of the women in the manor is to marry the Crown Prince, why can’t that person be me? Now that Su Wanwan’s status is lowly, Father will certainly not allow her to marry the Crown Prince. I want to seize this opportunity and marry the Crown Prince.”
Mother, think about it. If I become the Crown Princess and eventually the Empress, I can support you and my brother. Then, I'll get Father to elevate you to the position of Empress, and my brother will become the eldest son. Wouldn't you then be able to trample Lady Hu underfoot?
As Su Er spoke, he became increasingly convinced that the matter was feasible, and he grew excited, his body trembling slightly with excitement.
"Hehehe, daughter, you're right! If others can do it, so can you. In your mother's heart, you are far superior to the sisters in your household. In terms of talent and knowledge, your mother believes you are among the best in the capital!"
However, we need to find a way to ruin Jiang Wan'er's reputation as well, and completely cut off her hopes of becoming the Crown Princess. And your fake sister Su Wanwan's reputation also needs to be ruined, so your father won't still want to marry her off to the Crown Prince!" A ruthless glint flashed in Aunt Chen's eyes.
“Yes, Mother is right.” Su Er nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly with Aunt Chen’s words.
In this way, she would have two fewer rivals in the mansion.
"Mother, what do you think we should do to ruin their reputations?"
Aunt Chen rolled her eyes, a glint of cunning in them. "I've got it! Since Jiang Wan'er is using gossip to get herself back into the family, we can also use the rumors to ruin her and Su Wanwan's reputations!"
Su Er was completely bewildered and said impatiently, "Mother, how do I do it? Please tell me quickly."
Aunt Chen smiled but remained silent. "You'll find out when the time comes. Hehehe~~ Daughter, don't worry, your mother will definitely make you the Crown Princess!"
After saying that, she went into the inner room and took out five taels of silver from the box.
"Plum blossoms!" Aunt Chen called out.
Meihua walked in from outside and respectfully asked, "Master, what can I do for you?"
"Plum Blossom, come here, I have something important to do with you."
As she spoke, Aunt Chen leaned close to Meihua's ear and whispered something for a long time—
The plum blossoms nodded from time to time.
"Take this five taels of silver and use it to bribe officials. This matter must be done discreetly, and no one else should find out!" Aunt Chen whispered in her ear.
"Yes, Master."

After leaving Aunt Chen's courtyard, Su Wanwan strolled leisurely towards the back gate.
There were some flowers planted along the path by the back gate, and she pretended to be admiring them.
Mei Hua walked towards the back gate and spotted Su Wanwan standing by the path admiring the flowers. She hesitated, wondering whether to walk over directly or hide first, but Su Wanwan spotted her first.
"plum bossom!"
Mei Hua gritted her teeth and walked over anyway. She curtsied to Su Wanwan and said, "Greetings to Sixth Miss!"
Su Wanwan looked at Meihua with a smile and said, "Meihua, why did you come out? Are you going to the market to buy some rouge and powder for your aunt?"
Mei Hua nodded quickly, "Replying to Sixth Miss, this servant is going to the market to buy some rouge for my aunt."
Su Wanwan glanced at Meihua with a half-smile. Meihua became even more nervous under her gaze, clutching the silver coin at her cuff tightly.
"Hehehe, go quickly, don't delay what your aunt wants," Su Wanwan said considerately.
"Yes, Sixth Miss. This servant takes her leave."
After saying that, Meihua hurriedly walked towards the back door.
Watching Mei Hua's departing figure, Su Wanwan smiled, "Aunt Chen, don't disappoint me—"
