Rebirth is not a dream.

When Su Yue saw the second lady coming, she secretly wondered whether to leave. Sure enough, the second lady started to greet everyone eloquently as soon as she arrived, and her eloquence made people look at her sideways. Su Yue felt that this place was boring, and thought that since she had nothing to do, she might as well get out of here as soon as possible. Just as she was thinking about saying goodbye to the Marquis' wife, the second lady suddenly cast her eyes on her and asked her about her well-being with a smile on her face. This sudden concern caught Su Yue off guard, but she still responded to the second lady's greeting politely.

The second wife looked at Su Yue and said with a smile: "Third daughter-in-law, this is great. How could the poor thing drown? You must be more careful next time."

Su Yue smiled slightly, and that smile was just right, neither impolite nor with a hint of sarcasm. She said softly, "Second Madam is right." However, she was thinking to herself, next time! If it happens again, I'm afraid my life will be in danger. Could it be that the person who wants to take my life is this Second Madam? But there doesn't seem to be much conflict of interest between us. It seems that this matter is very serious. I must ask Aunt Tao for clarification when I go back. I don't know how the cheap husband is doing.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the second wife changed the subject and chatted with the Marquis' wife about the second master's reinstatement. She praised the second master and said that he was very capable, but because he left his job during the three years of mourning, the situation has changed now, and it would take some effort to return to the Ministry of Revenue. The so-called "effort" is nothing more than making arrangements and building relationships everywhere.

As for how to build relationships, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is to cater to their preferences. Whether it is real gold and silver, or precious antiques, these are all things that officials love. However, each of them requires a lot of money to support. The second wife kept talking about it, obviously hoping that someone would contribute money and effort to their second house. The Marquis's Mansion has been strictly observing filial piety for the past three years, and there is almost no additional source of income. Where can there be extra funds to build relationships?

At this moment, Su Yue suddenly realized. It turned out that she was the richest person in the Marquis's Mansion. The Second Madam kept chattering, wasn't she trying to get Su Yue to pay for it? Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but feel alert. How beautiful was this idea? This was asking the Third Young Madam of the Big House to help pay, and the First Young Madam to help with connections. It was really a good plan.

And this eldest young lady is such a wonderful person! No matter what the second lady said, she always agreed: "Second aunt is right!", "Second aunt, you are really sensible and knowledgeable!" But in fact, she did not say anything substantial. Su Yue, who was watching all this, thought to herself: This way of speaking is as complicated as the eighteen bends on the mountain road, and it is really difficult for me to learn it. After all, she has been engaged in insurance sales for more than ten years, but she has never thought about every word as hard as she does now. If you don't think about it over and over again for more than a dozen times, you will be sold and help others count the money, and you may even be sold and have to help count the money. This time of paying respects is really tiring, especially mentally tiring!

Not only that, the two sisters-in-law who had been chattering like little birds just now seemed to have finally figured out the real intention of the second lady's visit, so they all shut up and stopped talking. The Marquis's wife finally said expressionlessly and coldly: "How can we women living deep in the inner house understand these things between men? If the second master really has any ideas or plans, let him go to the Marquis in person. After all, they are brothers, they will always support and help each other! What's the point of us women worrying about it here?"

The second wife's wishful thinking failed, and she left angrily with her maid. After the second wife left, the house was silent. Su Yue thought that the hearts of the people in this mansion were really hard to predict, and if she was not careful, she might fall into someone else's trap.

She decided to be more cautious in the future and not be easily taken advantage of. At the same time, she also realized that in this deep mansion, only by becoming stronger can she better protect herself and the people around her.

Su Yue looked at the eldest young lady, and saw that the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she had already understood all this. Su Yue sighed in her heart, thinking that she was too naive and had a lot to learn. She must figure out the situation in the mansion as soon as possible and find someone she can really trust.

Xiao Tao carefully helped Su Yue out of Zhichun Courtyard, and the master and servant walked slowly towards Yunxiao Courtyard. The eldest young lady Wang Xinxuan and her personal maid caught up from behind and said with a smile: "Third sister-in-law, are you feeling better?"

"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. The doctor said that I am still a little weak and need to be recuperated slowly. Is there anything important?" Su Yue didn't believe that Wang Xinxuan would get close to her for no reason. She, a lady from a wealthy family, had always treated her, the daughter of a merchant, coldly.

"It's nothing serious, but I feel that my third sister-in-law has changed a lot compared to before." Wang Xinxuan thought to herself, Su Yue seems to have really changed. In the past, the second wife often took advantage of her, but Su Yue ignored her proper mother-in-law and went to please the irrelevant aunt. It was really unreasonable. Today, Su Yue didn't let the second wife take advantage of her at all. It was really incredible. Could it be that she had a near-death experience and suddenly became enlightened? Her sister-in-law was really hard to understand.

Su Yue muttered to herself, thinking that Wang Xinxuan had discovered something, but it turned out that she was just expressing her feelings. It was really boring. "Sister-in-law, please go slowly. I am really exhausted this morning, so I will take my leave first." After saying that, Su Yue slowly left with Taozi's support.

Wang Xinxuan stared at Su Yue's receding back, then turned to the maid Anxiang beside her and asked, "Do you think Su Yue's previous timid appearance was just a disguise, or did she suddenly become wise? The Second Madam set so many traps for her today, but Su Yue didn't fall into any of them. Even if the Second Madam was angry, she couldn't do anything to Su Yue."

"In my opinion, Third Young Madam should have come to her senses." An Xiang said

Wang Xinxuan nodded in agreement. "Whether she is truly enlightened or not, it has nothing to do with us. As long as she doesn't provoke us, we don't have to pay attention to her."

After saying that, Wang Xinxuan turned around and went back to the yard.
