Rebirth is not a dream.

Chapter 181: Free from Moral Kidnapping

On this day, the Anning Marquis Mansion sent an envoy to invite Su Yue to return to the Anning Marquis Mansion. The envoy told Su Yue that the old lady missed them very much and hoped that they could go back to see them. Su Yue's heart moved, and she realized that she seemed to have not returned to the Anning Marquis Mansion since she moved to the Princess Mansion. Although her relationship with the Anning Marquis Mansion was not close, as Qin Yi's wife, she felt that she had the responsibility to maintain this relationship. However, Su Yue was dissatisfied with the attitude of the people of the Anning Marquis Mansion towards Fu Bao. Although Fu Bao was not the biological blood of the Anning Marquis Mansion, he had served as Qin Yi and the eldest son of the concubine in the Anning Marquis Mansion for two or three years. Just because of the bloodline issue, the Anning Marquis Mansion tried to erase his existence, which made Su Yue unacceptable. Now, Fu Bao has become the adopted son of Princess Mingyue and has no direct relationship with the Anning Marquis Mansion. But in this way, Qin Yi, as Fu Bao's father, became a little embarrassed. He admitted that Fu Bao was his son, but the Anning Marquis Mansion refused to recognize Fu Bao as a grandson.

Su Yue thought that although Qin Yi could not inherit the An Ning Marquisate, Fu Bao, as a bastard, would not have much impact on Qin Yi. However, Su Yue was still unsure about what the future would be like. After all, human hearts were unpredictable, and the growth and education of children were also difficult to predict. But she still hoped for a good result.

Afterwards, Su Yue went to pay her respects to the Marquis's wife first, and then came to Chunhui Courtyard to visit the old lady. When she entered the house, she found that many people in the mansion were there, including the second and third wives, and the four young ladies who had not yet married. Su Yue walked up to the old lady and said, "Hello, old lady." Old lady Xie smiled and replied, "Yue'er is back, no need to be polite."

Then, several young ladies came forward to pay their respects to Su Yue and said, "Meet the princess." Su Yue responded with a smile on her face, "No need to be polite, sisters." At this time, Qin Jiaojiao suddenly said, "Third sister-in-law is a princess now. I'm afraid she looks down on our mansion and even doesn't take our mansion seriously."

Su Yue didn't understand what Qin Jiaojiao was going to do, so she asked in confusion, "What do you mean, sister?" Qin Jiaojiao said with an unhappy look on her face, "Why didn't you perform a talent at the Queen's plum blossom viewing banquet the other day? I don't believe you can do everything. How can we hold our heads up high if you do this?"

After Su Yue heard this, she felt a little dissatisfied, but she still tried to remain calm. She turned her head to look at the old lady at the top and the second and third wives sitting below, and secretly wondered if they had the same idea. Was it because of this matter that she was asked to return to the Marquis' Mansion this time?

However, Su Yue did not realize this. She felt that she had done nothing wrong, and her talent had little to do with the Marquis's Mansion. After all, she was just Qin Yi's wife, not his sister. So, she did not think she needed to show her talent like other sisters. In addition, she felt that her talent had nothing to do with the upbringing of the Marquis's Mansion. Therefore, she was very confused by Qin Jiaojiao's accusation.

Su Yue sneered: "What does it have to do with my sister? The emperor didn't come to teach me about my upbringing. What do you care about? Why are you angry?"

Qin Jiaojiao's eyes widened in anger, and she pointed at her and said, "Do you have any shame? Don't you know what people are saying about you?"

Su Yue asked disapprovingly: "What does it have to do with me? Are you insulting the royal family by scolding me?"

Seeing this, the Second Madam hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Third niece's wife, this is serious. Jiaojiao is doing this for your own good. I'm afraid that others have misunderstood you. You should also think about the An Ning Marquis's Mansion, right? After all, you are the An Ning Marquis's wife!"

Su Yue stared at her and replied bluntly: "I am not a monkey. If others want to play tricks on me, I will let them do what they want. How can this be justified? Family members don't help their own family members, but ask outsiders for help. This is just turning your elbow outward."

The Second Madam's face turned red and white because of what she said. She didn't dare to confront Su Yue like she did before. She just smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.

Su Yue was full of doubts. She really couldn't understand what the An Ning Marquis's Mansion and An Ning Marquis's wife were up to. When she had just paid her respects, she hadn't noticed anything unusual, but now the old lady had suddenly made such a move, which made people puzzled. Was it to suppress her? But was it really necessary to do so?

Su Yue knew that the wife of Marquis An Ning had always hoped that Qin Yi could marry a young lady from an aristocratic family. However, all this was the result of the old Duke's decision to marry her into the Marquis' Mansion. Moreover, when Qin Yi was seriously ill and dying, it was Su Yue who generously donated a lot of money to pull him back from the brink of life and death. Without her help, the financial resources of the Marquis' Mansion alone could not save Qin Yi's life. Now, the Marquis' Mansion actually wants to burn the bridge after crossing the river, which makes Su Yue extremely angry.

Thinking of this, Su Yue became more and more irritated. Since the Marquis's Mansion treated her like this, she might as well go directly to the Emperor to argue and ask for a divorce or divorce. Anyway, this marriage is meaningless to her, so it doesn't matter if she gives up. It's just that the Marquis's Mansion lacks such courage and determination. They want to suppress Su Yue, but they dare not take decisive action. It's really too beautiful.

Seeing Su Yue's impatient expression, the Third Madam hurriedly said, "The most important thing is that the princess is happy and at ease. Don't worry about other things. Our mansion is also a founding hero. We have a lot of foundation and it's not something that anyone can discredit."

The old lady also said: "Yes, this is not a big deal. Jiaojiao is still young and can't see these things clearly, so she is a little worried that others may misunderstand the princess."

Su Yue sneered in her heart when she heard what they said, but she still smiled and said, “Yeah, it’s not a big deal, don’t take it to heart, Sister Jiaojiao!”

When Qin Jiaojiao heard Su Yue say this, she immediately said excitedly: "I don't take it to heart! And what I said is the truth, you are just not worthy of the third brother."

Su Yue was too lazy to pay attention to Qin Jiaojiao. She felt that this little girl was spoiled by her family and didn't understand anything. But as long as she didn't act recklessly in front of her, Su Yue wouldn't bother with her. After all, she was just a child. If she really annoyed her, don't blame her for being rude. Su Yue turned to the old lady and said, "Grandma, my granddaughter-in-law came to visit me today. First, I am concerned about your health, and second, I want to tell you something." The old lady smiled and said, "Whatever it is, just tell me." Su Yue nodded slightly and continued, "There have been a lot of rumors about me in the capital recently. I don't want to bother grandma with these trivial matters. If anyone dares to slander the Marquis' Mansion outside, my granddaughter-in-law will not let him off easily." After that, she looked at the old lady with a firm look in her eyes.

The old lady nodded with satisfaction, "Well, Yue'er is right. The reputation of the Marquis' Mansion is of vital importance, and we must not let those villains succeed." The second and third ladies on the side also echoed her, only Qin Jiaojiao bit her lip unwillingly, but did not say anything else.

Su Yue thought that if the next time the Marquis's Mansion asked her to come back for something like this, she really would not come back. What did Qin Yi's filial piety have to do with her? She was not an original ancient person, and she could not be morally kidnapped by anyone.
