The Rebirth of a Daughter: My Lord, I Will Never Be a Concubine

After giving Aunt Ling the medicine, Su Yanhua asked her to have a good rest.

Su Yanhua asked Cui'er: "How is the old lady doing today?"

"The old lady fell ill the day before yesterday and hasn't been seen since. I heard that her condition has improved significantly in the past two days."

Su Yanhua thought about what Aunt Ling said to her, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. The only way now was to see it with her own eyes to know where the problem lies!

When Su Yanhua arrived at Old Lady Su's residence, she looked at Nanny Li who had just walked out.

"Mammy, I heard that grandma was ill, so I came to see her."

Nanny Li said, "Miss, the old lady is still ill and is not seen now."

If Xu attacked the old lady, how could Li Ma, her personal attendant, not know about it?

But Nanny Li's tone was calm and her attitude was composed, as if nothing was wrong!

"It's okay. I haven't seen my grandmother for a while and I'm very worried about her health. It would be nice if you could let me go in and take a look." Su Yanhua said with a smile.

"But the old lady has just gone to bed, it might be inconvenient now." Nanny Li wanted to stop her.

"Let her in—"

Su Yanhua was about to say something when a haggard and weak voice came from inside.

Nanny Li had no choice but to let her in and opened the door.

When Su Yanhua walked in, she smelled a very strong smell of medicine, which made her cover her nose. If she had been a moment later, she would have coughed.

But Cui'er next to her had already choked and coughed. Cui'er was stunned and hurriedly covered her nose.

"The smell of medicine in the room is too strong. It's normal that I can't stand it."

The old lady lying on the bed had a pale face and cloudy eyes, but other than that there was nothing unusual.

Su Yanhua lowered her eyes, sat down beside the bed, and said, "Doctor, can you tell me what's wrong with grandma?"

Mrs. Su said, "It's not a serious illness, just some minor ailments. I'm allergic to water chestnut powder. I don't know who put water chestnut powder in my food, and that's why I fell ill."

"But Mrs. Xu was thoughtful enough. She immediately asked the doctor to treat me and even sent people to check all the maids. I wonder if they found out what was wrong?" Old Mrs. Su looked haggard, without any anger towards Mrs. Xu, as she spoke calmly.

It would have been fine if Xu hadn't been angry, but she actually seemed to agree with him. Such an attitude was too strange!

"My aunt said that she suspected that it was Aunt Ling who put water chestnut cake in my grandmother's food!" Su Yanhua said lightly.

Old Madam Su raised her eyes, which were cloudy and unable to see anything. Her expression changed and she said firmly, "So it was Li Ling who harmed me. She must still remember that I kicked her out of the house."

"Well, now that she's so bold, could it be that she really wants to kill me?" Old Madam Su was indignant, her face turning a little red with anger. "Tell Madam Xu to bring Li Ling to me immediately. I will interrogate her personally."

It doesn't make sense. Just a small guess can make Mrs. Su so angry, but she can let Xu, who has solid evidence, go unpunished?

"Grandma, don't worry. You suddenly developed an allergic reaction after lunch the day before yesterday, but Aunt Ling only came into contact with water chestnut powder today. It's obviously not her!" Su Yanhua pondered calmly, "Why don't you let me investigate this matter? I heard from the servants that Auntie just fell into the lotus pond. I wonder what happened?"

After saying this, Mrs. Su looked anxious and asked in a worried tone, "How did you fall into the lotus pond? How is he now?"

Lightning and thunder flashed in Su Yanhua's mind, stirring up the calm waters in her heart.

"Now he is a very good person and was quickly fished out."

Only then did Mrs. Su feel relieved and fell into a state of relaxation.

"That's good, that's good." Old Madam Su said to herself, "After you left, she devoted herself to the Su Mansion, taking care of all the affairs there, big and small. The Empress praised her very much and allowed Xu to enter the palace to help the Empress with the sacrificial ceremonies. I realized that the Su Mansion still needs her. Xu's handling of affairs is very appropriate, and you can't compare to her. Just let her do it with confidence."

"I'm old, and I may not have many years left. I just want our family to be together in harmony."

Su Yanhua walked out of the house with a frown on her face. She glanced at Nanny Li and asked, "Nanny, is Grandmother no longer angry with Concubine Xu?"

Nanny Li shook her head and said, "I don't know either. She's probably not angry anymore. There's no such thing as an overnight grudge between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law. Besides, the general is coming home soon. It wouldn't be good for him to see such disharmony in our family."

"My father is coming back?" Su Yanhua asked in surprise.

"Yes, the general fought at the border and won a great victory over Dayan. He returned victorious some time ago. According to estimates, he should be home soon."

This sentence shocked Su Yanhua. She walked on the road and asked, "Cui'er, why didn't you tell me?"

"Miss, I wanted to give you a surprise, but Aunt Ling was arrested, and you came to visit the old lady again. I was so anxious that I forgot about it." Cui'er said with a smile.

A lot of thoughts were entangled in Su Yanhua's mind, interrupting the idea that had just flashed through her mind.

"Miss, maybe we're too nervous? The old lady's attitude towards Xu Shi might be because the general is coming back." Cui Er analyzed: "After all, the general hates any discord in his own house the most."

"No, it's still not right." Su Yanhua said firmly: "If it's really for Daddy, then wouldn't it be enough to just maintain the appearance? Why...why..."

Why was she so concerned about Xu? During the conversation, Mrs. Su mentioned Xu three or four times!

She spoke in an orderly manner without any confusion, and her emotions were normal. She guessed that the murderer was Aunt Ling and was very angry. Everything seemed normal, but there was one thing that made her suspicious.

manner!

Su Yanhua was a little too worried about Xu's attitude. She recalled that when she said Xu fell into the lotus pond, Mrs. Su was extremely nervous, as if something had happened to her.

Even if Xu had not intended to harm Old Madam Su before, Old Madam Su's attitude towards Xu would not have been so good.

If before it was the mother-in-law's satisfaction with her daughter-in-law, now it is a kind of worry about her own children. If it was Su Bing who was in danger at this time, it would be understandable for Old Lady Su to be so nervous, but if the target was Xu, there would be a problem.

Cui'er's thoughts weren't as delicate as Su Yanhua's. After hearing Su Yanhua's analysis, she said, "Miss, are we really overthinking it? I see that the old lady and Xu's relationship is no different from before. From the perspective of us maids, it's simply that the old lady really doesn't care about what happened before, and secondly, the general is coming back soon, so the old lady has no choice but to do this."

Cui'er's words made sense, but they couldn't convince Su Yanhua of the doubts in her heart. Now, she could only wait and see.

It is impossible for Old Lady Su to not care at all. If it is true as Cui'er guessed, that Su Bing is coming back and she is pretending to have a good relationship with the Xu family, it is impossible for a person to pretend forever. There will definitely be a flaw. She can only wait quietly.
