Rebirth is not a dream.

Chapter 140 The Jumping Second Lady

In the early morning, the sun shone through the window into the room. Qin Yi rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed. He stretched and felt refreshed. After washing up, he decided to go to Yunxiaoyuan to see Fubao.

When he walked into Yunxiao Courtyard, he saw Su Yue holding Fubao and rocking her gently.

Su Yue coaxed Fu Bao gently: "Bao Er, come and drink the medicine and you won't feel uncomfortable. After you drink the medicine, Sister Taozi will give you some candied fruit to eat."

Fubao shook his head and closed his mouth tightly, refusing to drink the medicine. Su Yue looked at Fubao and said softly, "Mother will make a lot of delicious food, but unfortunately Fubao is not in good health. The doctor said that he can't eat anything randomly, so these delicious foods can only be eaten by Brother Xingyu."

Hearing this, Fubao felt a little aggrieved, and pouted, about to cry. At this time, Bijun also came over and patiently coaxed Fubao: "Little Master, drink the medicine quickly. Only after drinking the medicine will your body get better. When you are better, you can get out of bed and play with Xingyu. You have been in poor health and can't even go out. How boring!"

Fubao frowned, thought for a moment, and said to Su Yue softly, "I want to eat two candied fruits." Su Yue smiled and nodded, "Okay, let Sister Taozi bring more, but you can only eat two!" Fubao nodded happily, "Yes."

Qin Yi looked at Fubao and drank the medicine and said, "Fubao, are you feeling better?"

Fubao was a little timid when he saw Qin Yi. Fubao had never had much contact with his father, and children were the most sensitive. He knew that his father didn't like him, so he would not get close to Qin Yi. So he was a little scared when Qin Yi talked to him.

Fubao lowered his head and whispered, "Much better." Qin Yi felt a little guilty, and realized that he didn't care enough about Fubao. He squatted down, touched Fubao's head, and said gently, "Fubao, if you feel uncomfortable in the future, you must tell Daddy." Fubao looked at Qin Yi, hesitated, and nodded.

At this time, Dujuan from Chunhuiyuan came to ask Su Yue to come over. It seemed that the incident of Fubao last night had alarmed Chunhuiyuan. Su Yue thought that the first person to come would be the Marquis's wife, but unexpectedly, the old lady came first. Su Yue handed Fubao to Bijun and followed Dujuan to Chunhuiyuan.

In Chunhui Courtyard, the old lady looked at Su Yue with a worried look on her face, "Granddaughter-in-law, is Fubao's illness getting better?"

Su Yue bowed and replied, "Grandma, I'm fine after taking the medicine, but I still need to rest." The old lady was relieved and said, "That's good. It's worrying when a child is sick."

She asked again about the reason why Fubao was sick, and Su Yue told the truth, saying that Fubao was frightened. The old lady frowned, "Who is so bold as to harm my good great-grandson!"

Su Yue lowered her head and said nothing, but she understood everything in her heart. She knew that the old lady was warning her not to talk nonsense. Seeing that Su Yue didn't say anything, the old lady stopped asking questions. At this time, the second wife Cheng said, "It's impossible that Aunt Cheng did this. Third niece, you didn't manage the servants well, how can you blame your own mother."

Su Yue was really fed up with this second wife. The Marquis's wife never asked about their main room affairs, so why did the wife of his second room always interfere? Didn't she have anything else to do?

Su Yue: "Does Aunt Cheng care about this child? Wasn't it because she almost let him die that Madam Hou let Fubao be raised in my yard?"

Second Madam: "Aunt Cheng, she already knows she was wrong. Now she just wants to take good care of Fubao and restore the relationship between mother and son."

Su Yue: "How dare I ask her to take care of Fubao if Madam Hou doesn't give the order?"

Second Madam: "But didn't you take care of it too?"

Su Yue looked at the Second Madam with an indifferent expression and sneered: “Haha, the Second Madam is waiting for me here!”

There was a hint of sarcasm and anger in her voice: "Mrs. Cheng went through so much trouble just to take Fubao back home to raise him, but this method is too despicable. If she had told me nicely, I would have no objection. After all, Fubao is also her child, and she is the mistress of the mansion now. How could I not let her fulfill her responsibilities as a mother?"

At this point, Su Yue paused, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "But she chose such a despicable means to force me, and even wanted to use my son to threaten me. I absolutely cannot tolerate such a thing!"

Second Madam: "Don't you think Aunt Cheng loves Fubao? Aunt Cheng has no choice but to do this."

Su Yue: "There are so many ways to be good, but you choose to use such a harmful method. Second Aunt, do you think Aunt Cheng loves Fubao? And what she did to Fubao before really makes it hard to believe that she will really change."

Second Madam: "That's all in the past. Everyone makes mistakes. As long as she is willing to correct them, she should be given a chance."

Su Yue: "Second Aunt, it's easy for you to say that. If I give Fubao to Aunt Cheng, what if something goes wrong? Who will be responsible?"

Second Lady: "We can supervise together to ensure that Fubao gets the best care."

Su Yue: "I still think it's inappropriate. I still have to listen to Madam Hou's opinion on this matter."

Second Madam: "Madam Hou is busy with all kinds of affairs, so she doesn't have time to take care of these trivial matters."

Su Yue: "Fubao is not a trivial matter. He is the grandson of the Marquis's Mansion. The Marquis's wife will definitely take him seriously."

The Second Lady: "You are deliberately shirking your responsibility!"

Su Yue: "Second Aunt, please don't misunderstand me. Is Aunt Cheng in love with Fu Bao or is she competing for favor? Are you sure?"

Second Madam: "What you said... is so unreasonable..."

She took a deep breath to calm herself down, then continued, "So, no matter what, I will not agree to hand Fubao over to them to raise. I want to protect my children and let them grow up healthy and happy. As for Aunt Cheng's behavior, I will report it to the old lady and ask her to judge justice."

Su Yue looked at the old lady calmly and said seriously: "Grandma, I know you are always fair, but this matter really cannot be put on the table, because it concerns the reputation and dignity of the Marquis's Mansion."

Hearing this, the Second Madam couldn't help but frowned and said, "Su Yue, what do you mean?"

Su Yue looked up at the Second Madam, a trace of indifference flashed in her eyes, and she sneered: "Second Aunt, you are so naive! Don't you really know what your so-called 'good niece' has done?"

The second lady's face darkened and she said unhappily, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Su Yue raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile, "Second Aunt, you'd better go ask your good niece to see if she really takes you seriously."

After saying that, Su Yue no longer paid attention to the Second Madam, turned to look at the Old Madam, and continued: “Grandma, I hope you can understand my difficulties.”

The old lady nodded and said in a gentle tone: "Yue'er, Grandmother naturally understands. But since you said so, you must have your reasons."

Su Yue was filled with gratitude, "Thank you grandma for your understanding."

The Second Madam was a bit unwilling to give in. She stared at Su Yue and said, "Su Yue, don't be so vague. Just speak frankly."

Su Yue shook her head gently and sighed, "Second Aunt, you really don't know? Aunt Cheng... Oh, forget it, I won't say anything."

Seeing Su Yue being so hesitant, the Second Lady became more and more curious, but at the same time she also began to doubt. Could it be that Aunt Cheng really did something unspeakable?

Seeing this, the old lady quickly tried to smooth things over and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now."

Su Yue nodded gratefully, then stood aside silently without saying anything else.

Although the Second Lady still had doubts in her heart, she could not ask any further questions and had to suppress her dissatisfaction temporarily.
