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

Su Yanhua returned to the Su Mansion and took a look at Aunt Ling. Aunt Ling had recovered well in the past few days and could already get out of bed and walk.

Su Yanhua sat in a rocking chair, eating water chestnut cake and basking in the sun, feeling relaxed.

Aunt Ling handed Su Yanhua a cup of tea and asked, "Miss, didn't you see the general?"

"I have seen him. He has just entered the city and should be going to the palace to receive orders."

"Miss, what if the general finds out about what happened to Xu last time and blames you?" Aunt Ling asked worriedly.

Su Yanhua opened her eyes and asked, "Why, she's not well yet?"

Aunt Ling nodded.

She just fell into the lotus pond and didn't get better after three days. Aunt Ling was beaten with twenty boards but now she can get out of bed and walk.

Su Yanhua sneered in her heart: "It seems that she wants to win my father's sympathy."

She took a sip of tea, and the light tea aroma filled her nose. Su Yanhua frowned and put down the teacup.

It’s foggy in Lushan again!

"Change it."

Courtyard main hall

As soon as Su Bing stepped into the house, the old lady called him over.

The old lady had just recovered from a serious illness and her face was a little pale. As soon as she saw Su Bing entering the house, she burst into tears.

"Bing'er..."

Old Mrs. Su opened her hands, tears streaming down her eyes.

Su Bing went forward and hugged Old Lady Su, comforting her: "Mom, your son is back!"

Old Madam Su looked at Su Bing and touched his rough face with pity: "You've been gone for half a year and you've lost so much weight. It hurts me to see you like this."

"Mother, how could you not lose weight after going to war?" Su Bing helped Old Madam Su up and asked gently, "Mother, is everything okay at the mansion? Are Yan Hua and Ruoxi behaving well?"

Old Mrs. Su nodded: "Ruoxi is well-behaved, but Yanhua..." At this point, Old Mrs. Su sighed.

"I heard she kicked Xu into the lotus pond, and she hasn't recovered yet." Old Lady Su said, "Last time I asked her how Xu fell into the lotus pond, and this girl lied to me and said she fell in on her own. Alas, now that I'm not well, I can't control them anymore."

When Su Bing heard this, his brows furrowed, his face expressionless: "How dare this girl lie now?"

"Someone, call the young lady over!"

Su Bing was chatting with Old Lady Su when a maid came to announce, "General, the eldest lady is here."

Su Bing and Old Lady Su looked over and saw Su Yanhua in plain clothes, her eyes swollen like two walnuts from crying, crying as she walked.

After seeing Su Bing, she knelt down and cried out loudly: "Daddy, you are finally back, you have to make the decision for your daughter!"

Su Bing had never seen Su Yanhua like this before, and immediately said worriedly: "Yanhua, what's wrong with you? Get up and talk."

Su Yanhua was unwilling, she said stubbornly: "I won't get up unless Daddy makes the decision for me."

As she spoke, she wiped her tears with her handkerchief again. Soon, tears flowed out like a vast ocean.

Cui'er's onion water is too strong. Whenever I wipe my tears with a handkerchief, I can't help crying.

It was suffocating her to death!

"Dad will take care of it for you." Su Bing said in a deep voice: "Tell me, who bullied you?"

Su Yanhua stopped crying and just sobbed in fits of sobbing.

"It was Auntie. Auntie beat and scolded Auntie Ling for no reason. I heard Auntie Ling say that she wanted to take the position of Daddy's wife and wanted to get rid of me, so she attacked the people around me."

Before Su Bing could say anything, Mrs. Su asked sternly, "Then why didn't you tell me last time?"

Su Yanhua glanced at Old Madam Su timidly and said aggrievedly, "I wanted to tell Grandma, but before I could even say anything, she was already saying all the good things about the Xu family. What else could I say?"

"presumptuous--"

Su Bing shouted, "Is the Xu family really acting so recklessly?"

"Dad, when I came back, all the jewelry in my house was gone, and the house was covered in dust. I heard that it was my aunt who took care of it. If she had feelings for me, why didn't she have someone clean my house?"

What Su Yanhua said was true. Su Ruoxi must have thought that Su Yanhua fell off the cliff and could not come back, so she took all the jewelry in her house and didn't even clean up the house for her.

Upon hearing this, Su Bing's face flushed with anger, and he couldn't help but pace back and forth: "Someone, call Xu over to me."

Old Madam Su didn't understand why Su Bing was so angry. She consoled him, "You can't blame Xu entirely. She's already doing better. Ever since you left, she's been running the Su Mansion..."

"Is it like this?" Su Bing questioned. "Mother is still so weak. There's no order in this huge Su Mansion. When I first entered the house, there were several maids and servants fighting. The news of Yan Hua falling off the cliff has spread everywhere, but I haven't seen any letter from Xu. And just now, Yan Hua just said that he indiscriminately beat and scolded the servants."

"I'd like to ask how she manages it."

Old Mrs. Su wanted to say something, but Su Bing was angry and finally sighed.

Xu, on this side, walked to the courtyard trembling with fear. She couldn't help but grab Su Ruoxi's hand and asked, "Ruoxi, why did the general suddenly call me over?"

Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "Mom, why are you so nervous? Maybe it's because I haven't seen you for a long time and I want to see you!"

Xu felt relieved when she heard this. She murmured, "I hope so."

But for some reason, she had a bad feeling in her heart, especially when she saw Su Yanhua in the main hall, this bad feeling became even stronger.

Just as Xu was about to bow, Su Bing's angry voice came over: "Let me ask you, why did you beat and scold Yan Hua's servants a few days ago?"

Xu was stunned for a moment and said defensively, "No, who told you this, Master?"

"You're still quibbling!" Su Bing slammed his palm on the table, making a loud bang.

Xu and Su Ruoxi were so frightened that they knelt on the spot, shaking with fear.

"The maids told me that day that you beat Yan Hua's servant with twenty sticks!"

Xu lowered her head and glanced at Su Yanhua who was crying, feeling angry.

This damn girl actually dared to complain first!

"Master, I'm not punishing the young lady's servants for no reason. Mother was unwell and was found to have consumed something with water chestnut powder. I suspected someone was deliberately harming her, so I've been investigating." Xu explained quickly, "I happened to see Li Ling using water chestnut powder that day, so I had no choice but to interrogate her."

Su Yanhua knelt down crying, "Daddy, that day, just because Aunt Ling wanted to make me some water chestnut cake, Auntie suspected me and gave me twenty lashes of the cane. It's Auntie's fault for making such random suspicions without any evidence."

As far as she knew, Xu thought Aunt Ling had discovered her secret, so she wanted to get rid of Aunt Ling as soon as possible and set up the water chestnut powder trap. She must have waited for a long time but Aunt Ling didn't take the bait. But on the day Su Yanhua came back, Aunt Ling wanted to make a water chestnut cake for her and used water chestnut powder, so she said on her own that Aunt Ling was the one who harmed Old Madam Su.

After all, Su Yanhua had not returned yet, and Old Madam Su was ill. Naturally, whatever Xu said was the final word in the Su Mansion, and who would dare to disobey her!

But what she didn't expect was that Su Yanhua came back at the last moment and disrupted her entire plan!
