Rebirth is not a dream.

Chapter 124 Qin Jiaojiao likes Su Yue

The first night Su Yue returned to the mansion, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, which caused her to get up very late the next morning. There was a drizzle outside the window, the air was filled with coolness, and there was a gloomy and cold atmosphere in the room. Su Yue curled up lazily in the quilt, with no intention of getting up at all.

She began to think about the role she played as a young lady in this ancient time. Although life was not always smooth, there were some comforting aspects. First, she had children without having to give birth to them herself, which was unimaginable in modern society. Secondly, according to the traditional concept of this era, it was a matter of course to respect one's stepmother, so she did not have to endure the hardships of pregnancy and childbirth, let alone the test of life and death during childbirth. Thinking about it this way, it was really good!

In addition, most concubines and maids dare not be too presumptuous in front of the wife, unless they deliberately provoke trouble. However, Su Yue could not understand why these women fought so fiercely, even to the point of being jealous. Just to share a man? It's really not worth it. Just as she was thinking about it, Taozi came in from outside and asked softly, "Miss, are you awake?" Su Yue replied, "Well, come and help me change clothes." At this time, Su Yue realized that she was becoming more and more corrupt and had gradually become accustomed to this kind of lifestyle where clothes were handed to her and food was served to her.

Taozi swiftly helped Su Yue put on her clothes and put on her makeup. Su Yue looked at herself in the mirror, beautiful and dignified. "Miss, you are so beautiful." Taozi praised sincerely. Su Yue smiled and said nothing. Now that the old lady is at home, every morning, everyone has to go to the courtyard where the old lady is to pay respects. When Su Yue stepped into the main house of Chunhui Courtyard, she was surprised to find that almost all the grandchildren in the family were already there. Although it was raining outside, everyone still came to pay respects to the old lady.

Su Yue originally thought that in such weather, some people might choose to be lazy and not come. However, looking at the full house, she couldn't help but feel relieved and warm. When the old lady saw Su Yue coming, she smiled kindly and asked with concern: "Come to grandma, are you healed from your injuries?"

Su Yue walked forward, bowed respectfully to Old Madam Xie, and replied softly: "Grandma, how are you? Thank you for your concern. My wound has healed a lot." Old Madam Xie looked at Su Yue carefully and said distressedly: "Oh, how come your face looks thinner? I'll ask Nanny Han to bring you some supplements later. You must take good care of yourself."

Su Yue hurriedly thanked her: "Thank you, grandma!" She knew very well that the old lady had always been very caring towards her, and this kind of care made her feel happy and at ease. As for whether the other party was sincere or not, it didn't matter. After all, life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills. The key lies in who can perform better, and Su Yue believes that tangible benefits are the most important.

Wang Xinxuan, who was standing by, smiled and joked, "When my third sister-in-law came, grandma forgot all about us. She only had eyes for sister Su."

Su Yue responded: "Sister-in-law, don't say that. How could grandma not care about you? It's just that grandma feels sorry for me because I've been through so much hardship, either injured or sick. I'm afraid that God is jealous of my beauty!"

Old Madam Xie looked at Su Yue's coquettish and cute appearance and couldn't help laughing and said: "You little girl, you are really..."

The old lady couldn't stop laughing.

However, Qin Jiaojiao suddenly interrupted and said, "Third sister-in-law is such a bad luck! There were so many people going out on the Qixi Festival, but you were the only one who got into trouble, and it caused Third Brother to accompany you for so long. I don't know if Third Brother will be affected when he participates in the Autumn Examination this time. You still have the nerve to smile?"

The old lady immediately scolded, "Jiaojiao, shut up! Is this something your third sister-in-law would like to happen?"

Su Yue chuckled and said, "Seventh sister, you are concerned about Sanlang! However, I didn't see you giving your third brother anything substantial. Since I married into this mansion, I have been sick or in trouble all day. I don't know if it's because of my incompatibility with this mansion, or maybe all of Sanlang's illnesses have been transferred to me! Speaking of which, I, the former bride who came for a happy occasion, can be considered successful. Look at Sanlang now, he can hardly catch even a small cold. If I hadn't been here, it would be unknown whether Sanlang could survive, let alone participate in the autumn examination. Not only are you not grateful for my virtue of bringing prosperity to your husband, but you are disgusted with me, which is really unreasonable."

Qin Jiaojiao was furious when she heard this and retorted, "Don't talk nonsense! It's clearly because of Dr. Sun's superb medical skills that my third brother was able to recover. What does it have to do with you?"

Su Yue didn't care and sneered, "Although Doctor Sun's medical skills are superb, if there is not enough money to buy medicinal materials, how can your third brother recover as before?"

Qin Jiaojiao was so angry that her face turned red. She angrily scolded: "You are a merchant's daughter who stinks of money. You are simply greedy for profit!"

Su Yue: "Huh! Do you really think of yourself as a treasure? You act like a sickly beauty all day long, and you are both a concubine and a maid. Who would want you? If you have the guts, ask your third brother to divorce me, or just divorce me, and I will leave right away!"

"That's enough!" Old Madam Xie finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted the quarrel. She looked at Su Yue seriously and said kindly, "Mother Yue, Grandma knows that you have been wronged. If you have any problems in the future, just come to Grandma and she will make the decision for you." Hearing this, Su Yue's tears suddenly welled up and she pretended to be moved and said, "Thank you, Grandma."

Qin Jiaojiao, who was standing by, stamped her feet in anger. She glared at Su Yue fiercely and muttered to herself, "Tsk, do you think you deserve my grandmother's favor? How can you compare to my cousin An Ruo? You are so vulgar that you don't even have the manners of a woman. You don't even know how to give in to me, your dear aunt!"

Old Madam Xie turned to look at Qin Jiaojiao, with a strong sense of blame: "Jiaojiao, you are already an adult! How can you speak so bluntly about your third sister-in-law? Why don't you apologize to your third sister-in-law quickly!" Although Qin Jiaojiao felt very aggrieved and unwilling, she knew her grandmother's majesty at home and dared not disobey her. So, she had to force a smile and reluctantly said, "Third sister-in-law, I'm sorry..."

The storm was temporarily calmed down, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Afterwards, they chatted with the old lady about some trivial matters, trying to make the atmosphere harmonious again. When the conversation gradually faded, everyone got up and said goodbye and left.

The old lady leaned on the couch, and said to Nanny He beside her with a worried look in her eyes: "My third wife, do you really not want to live with your divorced wife anymore?"

Nanny He thought for a moment and replied, "Madam, in my opinion, maybe it was just a matter of time before the conversation came to a head. And judging from the usual situation, Sanlang is still very concerned about Su, so I don't think Su would be so ungrateful."

The old lady sighed, "Alas, this Su family is becoming more and more difficult to understand. If Sanlang really enters the officialdom in the future, it will probably become a troublesome matter if Su family is still so outspoken."

Nanny He suggested, "How about we ask Concubine Shu to help find a nanny to teach Su some rules, so that she won't cause any trouble in the future."

The old lady nodded: "Well, you are right. Let Lu come to the palace later and mention this matter to Concubine Shu."

At this time, Su Yue was still completely unaware of the situation. She could never have imagined that she had only gone to greet the old lady, but the old lady was already worried about her etiquette. If Su Yue knew about this, she would probably just helplessly respond with a "haha".
