Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

"Someone will take care of the backyard affairs. Just let mother recover from her illness."

Ye Yunzi smiled bitterly in her heart. She saw through Ye Chongde's little thoughts at a glance. This is her father...

"Father, Zijinyuan doesn't want to be disturbed by outsiders in the future. If you have any problems, just come to me directly, so that mother's illness will not affect others..." What she meant was that it would be better for the third aunt not to show up again.

Ye Chongde heard the hidden meaning and felt a little unhappy, but he still nodded and agreed: "Okay, Zijinyuan, you have the final say, and no one else will interfere!"

"Thank you father."

"Yunzi, falling into the water was purely an accident. Third Auntie didn't do it on purpose... She's pregnant and can't stand the shock. Let's forget about it. For my sake and for the sake of my soon-to-be-born brother, don't blame her."

"My daughter understands." Ye Yunzi answered first, looking well-behaved and sensible. "I will explain to my uncle, so father doesn't have to worry. Third Aunt is pregnant with my brother, so we must ensure that she gives birth safely."

"Yes." Ye Chongde was relieved. Ye Yunzi was efficient and worthy of being his daughter. "I'm sorry for you this time. If you have any requests in the future, I will definitely compensate you."

Ye Yunzi just smiled and said nothing more. After a while, she came out of the study, and the smile on her face faded away quietly.

Yes, Third Aunt must give birth to the child smoothly.

The news that Ye Yunzi went to see Ye Chongde spread quickly. The mansion was full of spies from the second house, so naturally, this news could not escape Liu's ears. When she heard that Ye Yunzi went with a thick book, Liu immediately thought of the backyard account book.

The eldest lady fell ill, and the doctor stressed that she needed to rest, so she had no time to take care of the account book. Ye Yunzi took out the account book, but she was forced to do so.

"The account book in the backyard..."

Liu watched eagerly, thinking about how to get his hands on the account book.

When the eldest lady was in power, she could only feel itchy in her heart but could not take action. Now that the eldest lady is ill, can the precious account book in the backyard really be allowed to be taken over by a concubine?

No matter how much Ye Chongde favors the Third Aunt, he cannot ignore the rules.

"Mom, this is a good opportunity for our second branch to take control of the Ye Mansion!" Ye Qianyao said excitedly.

"It's not that easy. The master won't sit idly by. We have to think of a way to get the account book cleverly..."

"How to do it?"

Liu looked at Ye Qianyao and came up with a plan: "Let's find a way out from the old lady. Go and pay your respects to her tomorrow, follow her wishes, and coax her well."

"Mom, I understand."

Ye Qianyao nodded. It was a piece of cake for her to make the old lady happy. She was the old lady's treasure in the Ye Mansion. She could get the account books easily by just acting coquettishly and making some flattery.

……

This news also quietly slipped into the ears of the third aunt.

"Su actually gave the account book of the backyard to someone else?" She was secretly worried. If she could get the account book, it would be like establishing her authority in the Ye Mansion. Who would dare to look down on her and her daughter in the future? In this way, people outside would not regard her as an inferior concubine.

"We are determined to get this account book!"

"Mom, will Dad be confident in leaving the child in our care?" Ye Ziru was a little worried. Although the turmoil over the drowning incident seemed to have subsided, there were still servants gossiping about it in private.

If the account books really fall into their hands, there is no guarantee that some people will not be dissatisfied, especially the second wife, who will never watch them succeed.

The third aunt stroked her bulging belly, her eyes flashing with ruthlessness: "Then we have to find another way!"

"Ye Ziru, as long as we control the backyard, no one will dare to look down on us... You are no longer an inferior concubine."

Ye Ziru was very excited when she heard this. She was unwilling to be labeled a concubine's daughter for the rest of her life.

She dreamed of marrying into a prominent family in the capital, preferably the son of the Pei family. Thinking of this, Ye Ziru's face flushed involuntarily.

She was just beginning to fall in love and fell in love with the talented Shen Yuming at first sight. She almost melted in his charm and wanted to fly into his arms.

The third aunt didn't notice Ye Ziru's shyness and was thinking of a plan to seize the account book.

……

On the other side, the Zijin Courtyard was a scene of peace and tranquility. Ye Yunzi handed over the account book first, and then reported to Su. Su just nodded lightly, with a look of dismay on her face, and she had lost interest in everything.

Ye Yunzi leaned lazily on the recliner, gently fanning herself with a round fan in her hand.

"Mrs. Wu from the third house is a decent person, so she naturally won't have any extravagant thoughts about the account book in the backyard. Now, the third concubine and Mrs. Liu from the second house are two hungry wolves, eyeing the account book covetously. They will definitely show their magical powers and fight to the death. Isn't it fun for us to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?"

She said this lightly, with a faint smile on her lips. The maid Zhilan beside her nodded repeatedly. The young lady made a clever move, and she lit a fire in the backyard without making a sound.

"The bigger the commotion, the better. It would be best if the entire Ye Mansion is in chaos. Then, I will have the chance to take my mother away from here."

Ye Yunzi's voice gradually became low, and finally became a whisper that only she could hear. She lowered her eyes, and Su Yongyu's suggestion to let her mother and Ye Chongde divorce echoed in her mind. But how could this be so simple?

Even if Ye Chongde had no feelings for Su, he would not divorce her easily. He still needed to use the power and wealth of the Su family to pave the way for himself, so how could he let Su go easily... Once this matter was exposed, the world would only blame the Su family, and would never blame the Ye family.

Even if I bring this up with my mother now, she won't agree to a divorce because of her worrisome personality.

We have to take our time with this.

……

In the following days, undercurrents surged in the Ye Mansion. Liu and Ye Qianyao surrounded the old lady, trying to get her to support them.

Ye Chongde was thinking about handing the account book to the third aunt. No matter what, the power of the backyard could not fall into the hands of the second wife.

"Grandma, Third Aunt is pregnant and can't work too hard. As for managing the account books, why don't we let the Second House take care of it? We will return the account books to the First House when the First Madam recovers. This is for the overall interests of the Ye Mansion..." Ye Qianyao said gently while massaging the old lady's legs.

After hearing what Ye Qianyao said, the old lady began to waver. Although she favored her eldest son Ye Chongde, the first wife had been in trouble recently, Su was ill again, and the child in the third aunt's belly was the flesh and blood of the Ye family, so there could be no mistakes.

"What you said makes some sense." The old lady spoke slowly.

Ye Qianyao was delighted, but she remained calm on the surface and quickly added: "My mother used to run business in the Liu family. She will definitely be able to manage the account books in an orderly manner!"

After saying that, Ye Qianyao withdrew from the old lady's yard, hurried back to Bihua Courtyard, and told Liu what the old lady had promised.
