Billionaire Son-In-law

In Kingston Manor, Serenity Garden.

The room was simply furnished, with only a pair of red candles burning, not even a single character of celebration pasted on the walls.

Today was Zoe Sus wedding night, but her groom, Alex Mo, married a concubine on the same day of their wedding.

“Brother Yihan...” Zoe Su sat on the wedding bed, murmuring, as two streams of clear tears escaped her eyes.

A commotion was heard outside the door, and Alex Mo entered.

“Just a daughter of a convicted official, what do you have to be aggrieved about?”

His indifferent tone was as cold as ice, chilling Zoes heart bit by bit.

Zoes eyes filled with tears, and she forced a faint smile, but the bitter smile was heart-wrenching to behold.

Yes, the Su Mansion was a thing of the past, and as the daughter of a convicted official, Zoe Su could still become the queen of Kingston Manor; she should not ask for more.

It seemed he only came to humiliate her, for after speaking, Alex Mo turned and went to the concubines Unity Garden.

With Alex Mos departure, the new room felt particularly empty, just like Zoe Sus heart, cold and lonely.

Unlike the quiet of Serenity Garden, Unity Garden was bustling, with servants dressed in red, their faces full of joy.

It should have been the place for the main wife to live, but now it was inhabited by Concubine Willow, and everyone knew who Alex Mo valued more.

...

The next morning.

“Your Highness, Concubine Willow has come to pay her respects.” The voice of the maid, Lily Su, came from outside the door, pulling Zoe Su back from her thoughts.

Zoes hollow gaze was filled with pain; she quickly adjusted the phoenix crown on her head and sat properly with her hands folded on her abdomen.

“Why hasnt Sister Su changed her clothes yet?” Rose Willow entered the room, feigning surprise.

Rose Willow was dressed in a peach-red dress today, with a married womans hairstyle, her face lightly powdered like a peach blossom.

Zoe looked at her former confidante with complex eyes, her hands clenching unconsciously.

The sight of Zoes phoenix-tailed wedding dress pained Rose Willows eyes, and she slapped Lily in retaliation.

She shouted, “How do you, a maid, serve Sister Su? Do you need others to remind you of such things as changing clothes? Drag this untrained servant out and slap her twenty times.”

“My lady is the main wife; why should Concubine Willow discipline a maid?” Lily glared at Rose Willow resentfully, but she was already being dragged away by someone gripping her arms.

“Disrespecting this side wife adds another twenty!” Rose Willow said coldly.

“Stop! Whoever dares to touch Lily, I wont let you off!” Zoe hurriedly got up, trying to save Lily.

But after sitting for a whole night, her legs were numb, and Zoe only took one step before falling to the ground, right at Rose Willows feet.

“Are you trying to act like the queen, my dear sister?” Rose Willow squatted down, lifting Zoes chin with her hand, her sharp nails digging into Zoes fair cheeks.

Zoe winced in pain, about to raise her hand to brush away Rose Willows hand, only to be thrown off by Rose Willow.

A burning pain spread across her cheek, leaving several bloodstains on Zoes face.

The cries of pain from Lily outside the room made Zoe struggle to get out to save her, but she was kicked down again by Rose Willow, her hand also being stepped on by Rose Willow.

“Rose Willow, I, Zoe Su, was blind to your true character and considered you a confidante. Now that you have married Brother Yihan, what more do you want?” Zoe questioned loudly, refusing to cry out in pain.

Rose Willow glared at Zoe coldly, increasing the pressure with her foot, causing Zoes fingers to twist and deform.

“Ah!” Zoe cried out in pain, and to save herself, she had to push away Rose Willows leg with force.

With the force, Rose Willow nearly lost her balance.

“Your Highness Concubine!” Rose Willows maid hurriedly supported her mistress.

She then knelt on the ground and pleaded, “Please, Your Highness, for the kings sake, spare Concubine Willow. She didnt mean to come so late to pay her respects.”

“Silence. I am the main wife, and if there is punishment, it is my fault. When did it become your place, a maid, to plead for mercy?” Rose Willow snapped, pretending to bow to Zoe.

However, a person entered from outside, and a strong hand helped Rose Willow up, pulling the delicate figure into his arms.

Zoe, holding the edge of the bed to steady herself, looked up to meet Alex Mos eyes, as cold as a frosty pond.
