"Second Young Master, Second Madam, Miss Tangtang is a little miracle doctor personally received by the Empress. The Marquis's Mansion is about to soar to new heights. The Old Madam, out of consideration for the Second Young Master, specially sent me to bring you back. All you need to do is admit your mistakes."

The steward appeared respectful, but his eyes were full of disdain. A second wife who had left the Marquis's mansion couldn't cause any trouble.

Su Xuance narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone calm: "When did Su Tang become a little miracle doctor?"

"Second Young Master, you don't know this, but it was Miss Tangtang who cured the Princess Consort of Zhennan's hidden illness. She is the little miracle doctor that all the nobles in the capital want to see." The butler's tone was proud, and with a hint of self-righteousness and advice, "Miss Tangtang is your daughter registered under your name. You should think carefully and not mistake a fish eye for a pearl."

A teacup was thrown directly at the butler, landing right at his feet, and the splashed tea scalded the back of his hand.

"A mere servant dares to put on airs in front of her master!" Pei Yuru said coldly. "Go back and tell the old lady that my second branch will never return. Who knows who's mistaking a fish eye for a pearl!"

The steward, though furious, dared not speak out. He rubbed his hands together and said irritably, "Then Second Madam, don't regret what you said today!"

"Get out!" Su Xuance said coldly. "My wife's will is my will."

The butler was startled by the murderous intent in his eyes and broke out in a cold sweat, retreating hastily and leaving in a sorry state.

"Father, Mother, it was clearly our Renbao who cured the Princess of Zhennan. When did it become Su Tang's achievement?" Su Shuying said with a frown as she led Renbao into the main hall.

"Father." Renbao saw Su Xuance in a wheelchair, broke free from her sister's hand, ran to him, took out her mini peach wood sword and struck his leg.

Su Xuance hissed in pain. His leg was gradually regaining feeling, but Renbao was strong and the blows still hurt a lot.

He endured the pain without showing it.

"Renbao, don't hit your father." Su Shuying quickly stepped forward and picked up Renbao. In just two days, the intelligent girl had already noticed Renbao's unusual behavior.

She is clever and witty, yet possesses an innocent and carefree spirit. She also enjoys playing the role of the King of Hell, carrying her mini King of Hell card, soul-snatching chain, and peach wood sword set with her every day.

Su Shuying liked her no matter how she looked at her, but Renbao's behavior was something that some people would use against her.

The thought of this possibility made her already icy face even colder.

Renbao, unaware of her thoughts, became anxious upon seeing her pale face and looked at her with teary eyes, saying, "Sister, don't be angry. I just wanted to hit Father's leg to make him stand up since it hasn't healed yet."

She wanted to touch Su Shuying's face, but then withdrew her hand.

Seeing her anxious, Su Shuying quickly explained, "Sister isn't angry. It's just that Dad's leg is acting up and hasn't gotten better, which has caused Renbao a lot of trouble and effort."

Su Xuance, who hadn't even had a chance to stand up yet: ………

Pei Yuru suppressed a laugh: "Renbao, your father's legs are all healed. The reason he's still in a wheelchair is because he doesn't want anyone to know."

Renbao's emotions came and went quickly. Tilting her little head, she asked in confusion, "Why?"

A cold glint flashed in Su Shuying's eyes as she seized the key point: "Father's leg injury wasn't an accident, but rather caused by someone?"

Su Xuance nodded: "That's right, so I want to continue pretending that my leg injury hasn't healed, to lure the snake out of its hole."

Renbao also grasped the key point: "Is Father trying to lure the snake out of its hole?"

Su Xuance smiled and said yes.

At that moment, he had no idea that his answer would bring him a big "surprise".

"Not going back?" Old Madam Su stared at the butler, her tone tinged with disbelief.

The butler nodded and stretched out his reddened hand: "The Second Madam not only said she would never return, but also injured this servant. This clearly shows that she does not respect you, Madam."

The second young master also sides with the second madam.

Madam Su was furious, gripping the wheelchair handles tightly: "Fine! If they don't want to come back, they don't want to come back. From now on, the second branch of the family has nothing to do with the Marquis's mansion, and nobody cares about their lives!"

"Mother, please don't be angry." Su Chengxiao listened outside for a while and came in at the right time. "My second brother is probably confused. He will come back after he calms down in a while."

Madam Su sneered, "Even if the second branch of the family begs me, I won't soften my heart."

Su Chengxiao smiled faintly and did not try to persuade him further.

Meanwhile, Su Shuying took Renbao back to the Marquis's residence.

Upon hearing the servant's report, Old Madam Su smiled smugly and said, "They still shamelessly begged to get it back."

The servant swallowed hard: "Madam, no, the eldest and youngest young ladies are here to move the second madam's dowry."

Madam Su's expression changed: "Take me there quickly."

When Su Xuance's leg ailment began, the Marquis's mansion started to decline. The reason he was still able to enjoy wealth and honor was entirely due to the silver he earned through secret business dealings.

Madam Su ate chicken soup made with century-old ginseng every day.

Although Su Chengxiao was the heir apparent, he had no real power. He spent his days reciting poems and composing couplets, appearing every inch the refined gentleman, and his eating, drinking, and daily expenses were all extravagant.

Most of the money Su Xuance earned went to Pei Yuru's dowry.

He told Su Shuying to go back and get it, but not all of it, since Old Madam Su was his biological mother, and he would show her the proper respect due to her.

But he has no obligation to support his wife.

Boxes of gold and silver treasures were moved out of the storeroom, a total of twenty boxes lined up in the courtyard.

Renbao lay on it, grinning from ear to ear: "Sister, we're going to be rich! This money can buy lots of candied hawthorns, roast chicken, mung bean cakes, and crispy mountain delicacies..."

Renbao swallowed hard as he spoke, rubbing his stomach and gazing longingly at Su Shuying.

A quick glance conveys a message: Sister, I'm hungry!

Su Shuying popped a candy into her mouth and said indulgently, "Little glutton, once we move my dowry away, I'll take you to eat your fill."

"Then, sister, let's go home now," Renbao said, licking the candy and speaking indistinctly.

Su Shuying smiled and said okay.

"Outrageous! Who allowed you to return to the Marquis's residence!" Old Madam Su arrived and was furious upon seeing this scene.

Su Shuying called out to her softly, "Grandmother."

"Grandma Su, it's been a long time! The black aura on your forehead is getting worse! Is that unlucky fellow lying?" Renbao lay on the box, crossed his legs, looked up at Grandma Su, and opened his mouth in surprise. "When she lies, the bad luck gets thicker and thicker, and people who come into contact with her will also be unlucky."

This child is her nemesis!

He even said things she didn't want to hear.

Old Madam Su breathed heavily, glaring at Renbao with eyes blazing with anger: "You're the unlucky one! Ever since you left the Marquis's mansion, we've been getting along incredibly well!"

Didn't your father and mother choose you and leave the Marquis's mansion?

"In that case, please leave immediately!"

Su Shuying's eyes turned cold: "Grandmother is old and can't distinguish right from wrong. She's very confused. Since that's the case, I won't say anything more."

These were all part of my mother's dowry. I suppose my grandmother wouldn't want to be accused of withholding her daughter-in-law's dowry.

"You!" Old Madam Su exclaimed angrily, "Sharp-tongued and disrespectful to your elders!"

Su Shuying: "As an elder, despite our close but distant relationship, do you have the right to lecture me?"

During the standoff between the two, Renbao grabbed a few little devils and made them carry away gold and silver treasures.

The heavy boxes, one after another, floated in mid-air, leaving the Marquis's residence and flying into the carriage.

"Sister, it's time to go home." Renbao ran up to Su Shuying and took her hand.

Su Shuying looked down and thought, "Hmm? Something's not right!"

Madam Su stopped talking, looked closely, and rubbed her eyes.

What about those twenty chests of gold and silver treasures!
