Rebirth is not a dream.

Chapter 141 Aunt Goes Crazy

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 looked at the old lady who was trying to smooth things over, then stood aside silently and stopped talking.

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

Aunt Cheng was unsure whether her aunt had helped her or not. She was already extremely anxious, after all, Su Yue was now the daughter of Princess Mingzhao! In the past, she could still rely on Su Yue's identity as a merchant's daughter and felt that she could at least suppress her. But last night, the emperor had named Su Yue the Princess Mingyue, which meant that her position in the Marquis' Mansion was in jeopardy. If she couldn't get something in the Marquis' Mansion, she would completely lose her advantage. And now, she couldn't catch Qin Yi's heart at all, so Fubao was her last glimmer of hope. She was so anxious that she couldn't stand still in the yard, and finally couldn't help but rush to Chunhui Courtyard.

Aunt Cheng rushed into the room and saw that the Second Lady had failed to fulfill her wish. Without saying a word, she knelt down in front of the old lady and cried, "Grandma, I know I was wrong. Fubao is my life! Please let Fubao come back to me, please!" She kowtowed and her forehead hit the ground heavily, making a dull sound.

The old lady was at a loss for a moment when she saw Cheng Yingzhi suddenly barge in with tears and grievance on her face. Although Cheng Yingzhi was a daughter of the Marquis of Weiguo, she was only a concubine's daughter. Since she decided to marry Sanlang as a concubine, she should know her status and identity and be obedient. However, judging from the current situation, this Cheng Yingzhi was obviously not a woman who was content with her lot.

The old lady knew that life as a concubine was not easy. But Cheng Yingzhi had chosen this path herself, and now she had caused such a thing, which made the old lady very upset. Su Yue, who was standing by, was disgusted when she saw Cheng Yingzhi acting so foolishly. She felt that Cheng Yingzhi was like a toad lying on her feet, which was extremely annoying.

The old lady looked at Aunt Cheng helplessly and said, "What are you doing? Get up! If you have anything to say, just talk nicely."

Aunt Cheng still refused to get up and continued to cry and beg, "Grandma, I really know I was wrong! Please, for Fubao's sake, let him come back to me! I promise to treat him well in the future... wuwuwu..."

Su Yue couldn't help but sneer after hearing this, and said sarcastically: "You know you are wrong now? Then how did you treat Fubao in the beginning? Now you are pretending to be pitiful. Humph, it's really ridiculous! If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"

When Aunt Cheng heard this, she immediately glared at Su Yue and angrily retorted: "I don't need you to care about anything! Su Yue, don't think that you can bully others at will just because you are a princess now!"

At this point, the old lady finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted angrily: "Enough! Shut up, both of you! Stop arguing!" Then, she turned to look at Aunt Cheng and said in a more gentle tone: "I will think carefully about Fubao's matter. You should go back first and stop making trouble here."

Su Yue looked at the old lady, then glanced at Cheng Yingzhi next to her, thinking that the Cheng family should be the backing of Aunt Cheng. So as long as Aunt Cheng did not commit an unforgivable crime, the Marquis's Mansion would not easily drive her away. But Aunt Cheng would do whatever it takes to achieve her goals, even at the cost of hurting young children. This behavior was unacceptable to Su Yue. In the eyes of other people in the Marquis's Mansion, Fubao and the illegitimate son might not be important, but in Su Yue's eyes, they were all innocent lives. Everyone had their own value and dignity, and should not be trampled on by others at will.

So Su Yue said coldly to Aunt Cheng: "Fubao will no longer stay with you, so don't dream about it." Hearing this, Aunt Cheng glared at Su Yue angrily and shouted: "You are already a princess high above everyone else, what else are you dissatisfied with? I will no longer compete with you for anything. Fubao is my own flesh and blood, why do you want to take him away?" Her voice was full of despair and resentment.

Su Yue: "You want his life. He was so young and you used his life to gamble your future. Are you still a human? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. You are worse than an animal. Do you want me to say it more harshly? Is Fubao your child?"

Cheng Yingzhi shouted in a somewhat collapsed manner: "Fubao is a bastard, and you still treat him as a treasure, hahaha..." Her laughter carried a hint of madness and despair, which made people feel a chill.

Su Yue looked at Cheng Yingzhi, with a flash of pity in her eyes, but more of determination. She knew that this woman had lost her mind and could not be persuaded by common sense. But no matter what, she could not let Fubao get hurt again.

Cheng Yingzhi continued to roar: "I am the one who suffered the most! You have no idea what I have been through! How much suffering I endured to have a child! But God took my child away and gave me another one. We could have been fine, but you took away everything from me!"

Su Yue took a deep breath and tried to stay calm: "Cheng Yingzhi, you still don't repent, you are really hopeless! If you really love Fubao, you won't use him as a tool. Everything you do is for yourself, and you don't consider his feelings at all!"

Cheng Yingzhi was stunned, tears welled up in her eyes, and she murmured to herself: "I just want to live a better life..."

Su Yue shook her head and sighed: "Your selfishness and greed have ruined you and almost harmed Fubao. I hope you can reflect on your behavior and stop being stubborn."

Su Yue looked at the somewhat crazy Cheng Yingzhi and really couldn't understand why she went crazy. She could be a concubine in the Marquis' Mansion and live a stable life as long as the Marquis' Mansion did not fall. Although the children did not call her mother, they could still respect her. She really didn't understand why she was courting death.

Before Su Yue could do anything, the Second Madam said beside her, "Zhi'er, what are you talking about? Are you crazy?"

The old lady was so angry that she was shaking all over and pointing at Cheng Yingzhi, unable to speak.

When the Marquis's wife and the Third Lady heard that Cheng Yingzhi had made a scene at Chunhui Courtyard, they rushed over. As soon as they entered the house, they heard Cheng Yingzhi's crazy words.

Madam Hou walked forward and glared at Cheng Yingzhi and said, "Tell me clearly, what happened to Fubao?"

Cheng Yingzhi laughed: "You all don't know! Su Yue, that bitch, is a disaster. When I was pregnant with Fubao, it was because of her that I lost the child. Now she's here to take my son away. I won't let her go."

Madam Hou's face changed drastically when she heard this: "What nonsense are you talking about? Su Yue has been staying in Yunxiao Courtyard and rarely goes out. How could she possibly harm you?"

Cheng Yingzhi sneered: "Humph, if it weren't for her, how could I have lost my child? She is a disaster star, I will make her pay the price."

The third lady frowned and said, "Cheng Yingzhi, don't spit blood at me. Su Yue would never do such a thing. You must be mistaken."

Cheng Yingzhi had a ferocious look on her face: "You are not mistaken, it was she who caused me to lose my child. She is a disaster star, and I must make her pay. You would rather marry a merchant's daughter than marry me, so you know she is a princess, hahahaha"

Seeing Cheng Yingzhi being so unreasonable, the Marquis's wife was furious: "Cheng Yingzhi, don't make trouble here. Fubao's matter has nothing to do with Su Yue. If you dare to slander Su Yue again, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Cheng Yingzhi felt a little pleased when she saw Madam Hou's panic-stricken look, but she did not give up. Instead, she continued, "Madam Hou, do you know? Fubao is not actually the blood of the Marquis' Mansion! He is just a wild child that no one wants! I miscarried soon after I became pregnant. My aunt was afraid that you would not admit it, so she bought a child from outside to impersonate him, hahahaha... And, that Mid-Autumn Festival that year, the person who had an affair with me was not the young master of the Marquis' Mansion at all, but your relative Mr. Xu who came to ask for money, hahahaha..."

When the Marquis' wife heard Cheng Yingzhi's words, she was so angry that she trembled all over. She wanted to strangle this woman to death immediately. In order to allow Cheng Yingzhi to enter the Marquis's mansion smoothly, she tried her best to persuade her husband and Sanlang, and even almost caused Sanlang to lose the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination. Unexpectedly, all this was a trap set by the Cheng family. They were really too much!

The second wife was stunned where she was, with an embarrassed look on her face, not knowing what to do. This matter was obviously handled by the Cheng family, but they had not discussed it with her. Now, they had directly trapped her. How could she stay in the Marquis' Mansion in the future? At this moment, the housekeeper hurriedly came to report that a eunuch had come from the palace to read the imperial edict and asked everyone to go to the hall in the front yard immediately to receive the edict. Su Yue never expected that such a bloody plot would appear, but she really didn't want to listen to it anymore, so she followed the housekeeper and left first. The old lady was so angry that she trembled all over, and the Marquis's wife and the third wife hurriedly supported her to the front yard together. The second wife didn't dare to say anything more. Although she was angry, she didn't know what to do with Cheng Yingzhi, so she had to let her continue to kneel there, and she hurried to the front yard to receive the edict with everyone.
