Su Wan raised her eyes, "Because this mistress is not what I want, and I will not be this lady for my whole life."

Nanny Li frowned, "Young Madam."

"Madame Li, how could someone who wants to harm your family truly treat you? If they find I'm useless soon, it's not impossible that they'll kick me out, and I might even lose my life."

Nanny Li was immediately surprised, then she heard Su Wan say, "The Zheng family married me solely for profit, but they never trusted me, or rather, never considered me their daughter-in-law. If there ever comes a conflict of interest, my Su family will surely become their whetstone. I don't want to see my family suffer like this. I want to leave here, and I want to leave with value."

Nanny Li lowered her head and murmured, "So, you're doing this to arouse the eldest young lady's competitive spirit?"

"Yes. If that's the case, how can this inner chamber still be peaceful? They say a centipede is dead but its limbs are still stiff. A lady from the inner chamber certainly doesn't have the power or the ability to reach the imperial court. But I can control this inner chamber. If its internal organs are disturbed, then how far will it be from death?"

Watching Su Wan's coherent analysis, her calm expression revealing a resolute resolve, Nanny Li realized how decisive her wife truly was.

Su Wan stood up and said, "Mammy, I know you feel sorry for me, so you don't want to watch me live my life like this, right?"

Nanny Li suddenly choked up. "I feel sorry for you. I feel sorry for you for disregarding the world and following your heart for someone. I feel sorry for you for being so happy but not being able to receive true love. They use you and are on guard against you, ignoring you, and humiliating you. How can they be such unreasonable people!"

As she spoke, Li Ma's eyes also became moist. "How useless! She's so old and still crying. What a shame!" She quickly turned around and wiped away her tears, but when she thought of Su Wan's experience marrying into her family, she felt angry and hurt. Their wife's manners couldn't compare to those of the ladies from noble families, but when it came to her heart, Su Wan was the most lovely woman in the world.

"This old servant has lived his entire life solely for the Lady of the Liu Family." Nanny Li began to cry. "Your mother severed ties with the Liu Family before her death, but she treated me like her own mother. I promised her I would take good care of you. But!"

Su Wan hurriedly hugged Li Ma, who was crying uncontrollably. She felt heartbroken when she thought that she had spent her entire life for him, but in the end, she was discovered and died against the wall while trying to save him.

Su Wan smoothed the nanny's silver hair and said gently, "You've already said that they are a bunch of unreasonable people. It would be a waste of time and emotion to try to reason with them. I've come to terms with it. It's not worth it for such people."

Li Mama wiped away her tears, sniffed, and said, "Even if it's a sea of ​​fire and swords, this old servant will stay with you, my lady."

The two smiled with wet eyes.

After Nanny Li left, Su Wan opened the letter. Her eyes widened. It was from her father. The letter said his injury had healed and everyone was safe. Su Wan smiled easily and began to write. She wanted to tell her father not to trust anyone and to be wary of those around him who seemed strange.

She originally wanted to write down her story of rebirth, but then she changed her mind and realized that it would be disastrous if the letter fell into the hands of others. So she decided to confess her story when she saw her father again.

After finishing the letter, she had it delivered to the messenger and asked Uncle Liu to make some arrangements. It was time to give Xie Yin some explanations. However, Su Wan's heart was lifted when she thought of the people who had been reborn like her.

"Second Young Master's Madam, the First Young Master's Madam is here."

Su Wan stood up and saw Qin Shi walk in with a smile on her face. "Sister, you've been really busy every day."

Su Wan gestured for Qin to take a seat. "Speaking of which, it's my sister-in-law who's enjoying the good life. I'll let her worry about it next time. I also want to take a break."

Qin Shi laughed. "I'm here today to relieve your worries. Leave the things you asked me to do a few days ago to me. Just focus on other things. I promise to take care of them properly." Seeing Su Wan's pleasant smile, Qin Shi continued, "Also, I'm thinking of giving those people you sent back a few days ago a livelihood. I'm afraid it will take until the next year to arrange for them."

"Oh!" Su Wan knocked her head. "If Auntie hadn't told me, I would have been so busy that I forgot. Thank you so much."

"Why thank me? You and I both have a responsibility. How could I let you down for helping me that day?"

Su Wan curled the corners of her mouth and presented the dried apricots that Su Wan Dexian and her servants had made themselves as a token of her gratitude.

Qin took a look at it and said, "Madam Sun has been craving these things recently. Take them back to her." Then she threw them to Qiaohui who was standing aside.

Su Wan noticed that Qin's attitude today was very different from yesterday, and said awkwardly, "Sister-in-law has been in a good mood these days. Let's have a drink together sometime if we have the chance."

Qin stood up and waved her hand, saying, "Forget it, you're busy. Besides, I don't dare drink your wine."

Su Wan looked at Qin's leaving back with an inexplicable smile in her eyes.

Su Wan has been very busy these days. She has to look after the account books of the Zheng Mansion and take care of the affairs of her own shop. She has always been a carefree person, but now she is so busy that she feels a little uncomfortable.

That day, she finally had some free time and thought about studying the poison of the bastard by comparing it with medical skills.

According to Xie Yin's recipe, the poison was primarily composed of more than a dozen ingredients, including ice lotus, fire scorpion, and ghost grass juice. She had to admit, even just a few of these ingredients could be considered a unique poison, but this was the first time she had seen such a combination of ingredients. It was truly a completely new level of poison.

Of course, perhaps she was simply ignorant. So, she had Liu Shang go to the pharmacy several times to get the ingredients that counteracted each other, and then make her own prescriptions based on the medical text. Unfortunately, the old doctor wasn't there. If he were, even if he didn't want to detoxify, she might have asked him indirectly.

Forget it, since it's my own fault, I'll pay it back myself. Su Wan was a little tired from sitting, so she came to lie on the couch with the bastard and a book in her arms, but just as she lay down, there was a noise outside.

"Erlangjun, what are you doing?"

"Get out of here! What? When did this courtyard become surnamed Su?"

Su Wan had just laid down when she felt dizzy when she heard the man's voice. She pressed her temples, stood up and put the bastard aside.

Just as he was about to walk out of the inner room, he unexpectedly ran into Zheng Yanchen, who had a solemn face.

Zheng Yanchen came to the inner room, "Okay, you still have the mood to read and flirt here? Is this how you manage the household when I asked you to?"

The inexplicable rebuke made Su Wan furious. "What did I do wrong?"

"Hmph! Go and see what's happening in the kitchen! Two maids are actually fighting, leaving the yard in a complete mess. When did our Duke's Mansion become a stage for drama?"

Su Wan smiled, "It's just two old slaves having a fight. It's happened before, but I've never seen you this angry."

Zheng Yanchen looked up, "Should I pretend not to see and let them break the rules of the mansion?"

"Then the husband can punish them immediately upon seeing them and correct the rules of the house."

Zheng Yanchen said in a deep voice: "Then let you be the housekeeper, is it just for show?"

The atmosphere in the room became increasingly heated. The bastard hiding aside realized that something was wrong and wanted to go find Su Wan.

"Go away!"

"Wow!"

Unexpectedly, Zheng Yanchen stretched out his leg and kicked the bastard several steps away.

Su Wan glared at Zheng Yanchen angrily.
