The prince wanted to die, and the doctor raised her hand and slapped him

The housekeeper didn't expect Su Yinyue to ask directly. He felt his scalp tingling and whispered, "It's the same..."

He also didn't expect that the lady would send Yan Xi to pick up the second young lady.

Su Yinyue sneered, "Why didn't the Madam punish her for stealing the second young lady from the Marquis's Mansion?"

Just now in the carriage, Su Yinyue asked about the details of what had been stolen from her.

The housekeeper said that when the lady married into the Marquis's Mansion, she had not been pregnant for a long time, so she sent her maid Yansi as a dowry.

Madam Liu Wan came with two maids as a dowry, Yan Si and Yan Xi.

After Yansi became pregnant, she was promoted to concubine and moved to an independent courtyard, with maids serving her.

Yan Xi, who was also a maid who came with the dowry, became jealous and secretly took away Yan Si's child while she was giving birth.

This matter was suppressed by Madam Liu Wan, who announced to the public that Aunt Yan had given birth to a stillborn baby until today when Su Yinyue was brought back.

Did the Marquis' wife send her to pick her up as a show of force?

Yan Xi lowered his eyebrows and bowed respectfully, "Madam is kind, and the second young lady has returned safely, so after a small punishment, I will not pursue the matter."

Su Yinyue laughed softly, "It's not her daughter who was stolen, so she doesn't feel any pain in her heart. Madam is really kind when she is merciful."

"Second Miss, Madam is your legal mother, you should call her mother."

Yan Xi corrected in a gentle voice.

"understood."

Su Yinyue turned into the backyard and said, "Lead the way."

Following Yan Xi, she passed through the winding corridors, bamboo forests and rockery, and finally came to a luxurious courtyard surrounded by clear water.

"This is the Four Fragrance Courtyard where the Madam lives. In spring, there is the fragrance of magnolia; in summer, there is the fragrance of lotus; in autumn, there is the fragrance of osmanthus; and in winter, there is the fragrance of plum."

Yan Xi introduced everyone while walking towards the main hall.

As soon as she entered the main hall, Su Yinyue made eye contact with the graceful lady sitting in the upper seat.

The disappointment in Liu Wan's eyes was clearly visible. She waved her hand with a dull look, "Send her to Aunt Yan in Yechunyuan and let Aunt Yan teach her some manners."

After leaving Sixiangyuan, I ran into a beautiful woman in a pink brocade dress.

Her black hair was like clouds, and a pearl and gold hairpin was inserted diagonally on her head. She was graceful and elegant, and apart from the world.

In addition, Su Yinyue, who had skin as white as snow, delicate features, wore coarse linen clothes, was thin, and had tanned skin, stood opposite her, and was inferior to the maid behind her.

The woman smiled gently and took the initiative to step forward, "You are Sister Yin Yue, right? I am your elder sister Su Qinning."

Su Qinning originally wanted to hold Su Yinyue's hand to show closeness, but changed her mind when she caught a glimpse of her rough and deformed palm.

After hesitating for a moment, he tidied Su Yinyue's clothes and said in a soft voice, "We are the only two daughters in the Marquis' Mansion. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to come to Qiyun Court to find me."

"understood."

Sensing her disdain, Su Yinyue said coldly, "Yanxi, take me to Yechunyuan to visit my mother."

Su Qin's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked casually, "Will Sister Yin Yue live in Yechun Courtyard from now on?"

Yan Xi, "The Second Miss is Aunt Yan's daughter, so naturally she has to live with her mother."

Yechunyuan is located in the corner of the marquis's mansion. The environment is quiet and the furnishings inside are very simple.

When Su Yinyue went in, Aunt Yan was leaning against the window sewing sachets.

Aunt Yan stroked the sachet gently and said to the maid beside her in a soft voice, "Do you think the young lady will like the sachet I made?"

The maid smiled and agreed, "Madam's embroidery is better than the best embroiderer in the mansion, and the sachet is embroidered with the most popular pattern in the capital. The young lady will naturally like it."

Hearing this, Su Yinyue paused slightly.

Does Aunt Yan have to please the eldest lady in order to have a place in the Marquis's mansion?

On the carriage to the Marquis' Mansion, she and the butler asked a lot of questions about the Mansion.

Madam Liu Wan was born in the residence of the Minister of Revenue and took in three concubines for Marquis Su Changyuan.

But after more than ten years, only one illegitimate daughter and one illegitimate son were born, which shows how skillful Liu Wan is.

"mother."

Su Yinyue stepped over the threshold and walked towards Yansi, "It's our first meeting, I chose a gift for you."

She bought this on her way back.

Guessing that the mother and daughter had something to say, Yan Xi stepped aside on his own accord.

Seeing Su Yinyue approaching, Yansi unconsciously compared her with Su Qinning.

She walked with big strides, spoke in a cold and hard voice, and was dressed in brown shorts, which didn't look like a lady. She would be more suitable to be working in the fields planting rice.

She totally lacks the grace and bearing of a lady from a noble family.

The only thing that can be praised is that his facial features are nice, and if he is taken good care of he will not be ugly.

Su Yinyue took out a brocade box from her bag. Inside was a pair of red coral earrings of excellent quality, which cost her eighty taels of silver.

Yan Si signaled the maid beside her to accept it and said calmly, "You are so thoughtful."

"Do you not like it?"

Eighteen years later, mother and daughter reunited. Was Yansi's reaction too calm?

Since coming to Yeshunyuan, she felt that the remaining emotions of the original owner reached their peak the moment she saw Yan Si.

Su Yinyue's parents died young, so she was not very good at handling the mother-daughter relationship. She hesitated and said, "How about I wait for a while to earn some money and buy you a new piece of jewelry?"

Yan Si said insincerely, "I like it. I like everything you give me."

"Can……"

But that's not how you act.

Before Su Yinyue could finish her words, she was interrupted by Yan Si's yawn, "I'm a little tired, you go down first."

She pursed her lips and asked softly, "Mom, can I hug you for a while?"

She asked for this hug from her biological mother on behalf of the original owner.

Yan Si's face froze, and a hint of ridicule flashed across her eyes.

But when Su Yinyue looked over, he became kind again.

"Yin Yue, you are already a grown-up girl. You can't cling to your mother like a child."

Yan Si glanced at the maid and ordered, "Send the second young lady to the wing room."

Realizing that she didn't like him, Su Yinyue said nothing more and turned away.

I had just taken two steps when I heard Yan Si's voice behind me again.

"This is the Marquis' Mansion, which is different from the village you were in before. The Marquis' Mansion has strict rules. Although I am your biological mother, the legitimate mother is the most respected in the backyard. You should call me aunt in private and public occasions."

"I understand, aunt."

After sending Su Yinyue to the side room, the maid went back to report to Yansi.

"Aunt, the second young lady has already arrived at the wing room. I have already told her that dinner will be delivered to her. She does not need to come and eat with you."

Yan Si hummed, handed the earrings given by Su Yinyue to the maid, and said calmly: "Take it to the dead outside the mansion and exchange it for silver."

"Yes."

-

In the side room, Su Yinyue ate the food brought by the maid and went to bed early.

I plan to get enough rest and go out tomorrow to investigate the market and find a way to make money.

The monthly allowance of the young lady in the Marquis's mansion is far from enough.

midnight.

Su Yinyue was awakened from her sleep by the crisp sound of a lock closing.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I heard the sound of footsteps outside the house, as if a lot of people were running outside.

"Quick! Put the dry wood here!"

"Where's the oil? Pour more!"

Someone outside lowered his voice and directed the maids and servants to run around.

Turning her head, Su Yinyue saw several shadows projected on the window.

I got out of bed and walked to the door, and a strong, choking smell of kerosene came over.

Someone wants to burn her to death!
