The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t

The system relayed the entire conversation between the two to Yu Ningyao.

Yu Ningyao's eyes widened after hearing this.

What grudge could Cui Ruixin hold against her that she still wouldn't let her go?

Why do you spend all your time thinking about how to kill her?

[System, can I strike first?]

Yu Ningyao was furious.

She can't separate the family property, and she's being schemed against every day. She has a temper, you know.

System: […Um, you're not even two years old yet, why did you make the first move?]

This question stumped Yu Ningyao.

She can't even move around alone now, so what can she do to Cui Ruixin?

With so much free time, why can't Cui Ruixin keep an eye on her sons or her cheap father's concubines in the inner quarters?

We keep an eye on what they do every day.

Ok? ? ?

Concubine? ??

Yu Ningyao had a flash of inspiration and came up with a good idea.

[System, do you have any pills that can make someone pregnant just by drinking them?]

Once Yu Kangping's two concubines in his backyard are both pregnant, Cui Ruixin will probably be too busy to take care of herself.

The system hesitated before replying: "Yes, there is, but..."

【But what but? Look at other people's systems, they have everything they need every day.】

And me? I have to start all over again, working incredibly hard. Tong'er, do you think you've done right by me?

[Tong'er, if you don't help me, and Cui Ruixin kills me, how can I remain a favored concubine, and how will you complete your mission?]

Am I right?

The system was confused by her words and subconsciously replied: Yes.

"That's good. Then give them the medicine."

Yu Ningyao seized the opportunity to issue an order.

If you can't manage your employees, you'll just have to work yourself to death.

She doesn't want to die from overwork.

The system finally came to its senses.

It felt like it had been tricked by its host.

It said pitifully, "Host, I don't have that authority. At most, I can only conjure up some medicine for you."

That works too.

Yu Ningyao accepted this reality, and at the same time, she tested the system's bottom line.

We can offer her some help, but it's impossible to control someone remotely like in novels.

She needs to plan how to use this medicine properly.

She fell asleep before she could figure it out.

……

As expected, Chen Dongxi caught a cold.

Upon learning of this, Shen Jinzhu hurriedly sent someone to fetch a doctor.

The doctor arrived quickly.

After taking Chen Dongxi's pulse, the doctor prescribed medicine.

He looked confidently at Shen Jinzhu: "Madam, this young lady's problem is not serious. After a few doses of medicine from me, she will be better in less than three days. The consultation fee is only one tael of silver."

"Thank you, Dr. Chen," Shen Jinzhu said hurriedly, and asked a servant to give her some money.

Just then, Cui Ruixin arrived.

Upon seeing Doctor Chen, she remarked, "Oh, why didn't you invite Doctor Zhang from Huichuntang this time? I remember when Yaoyao was sick before, she always invited Doctor Zhang."

Shen Jinzhu frowned: "Dr. Zhang had something to do today and went to another residence to make consultations. Dr. Chen's medical skills are also excellent, so I feel very reassured having him as my doctor."

Dr. Chen was initially displeased by Cui Ruixin's words, but he felt relieved after hearing Shen Jinzhu's response.

"Madam, I shall take my leave now."

"Take care, Dr. Chen." Shen Jinzhu personally got up to see him off.

After escorting him to the hospital, Shen Jinzhu returned to look at Cui Ruixin with a sullen face.

Seeing her whispering with Chen Dongxi, he became even more dissatisfied.

"What brings you here uninvited, sister-in-law?"

"Third sister-in-law, Xi'er should at least call me aunt. I heard she's sick, can't she even come to visit her?" Cui Ruixin sighed.

"Seeing her all alone, without parents, breaks my heart. That's why I wanted to take extra care of her. If you're unhappy, I won't come anymore. Please don't take it out on Xi'er because of me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dongxi gripped Cui Ruixin's hand tightly.

"Aunt, please don't ignore me."

Shen Jinzhu felt a pang of sadness watching this scene.

She was busy all morning, taking care of the child herself.

As a result, the sister-in-law came over and said only two words, and the child stared at her warily.

Is she the kind of person who would take her anger out on others without reason?

Sure enough, you can never truly tame someone else's child.

Shen Jinzhu said calmly, "Why would I take my anger out on the child? Since you love this child so much, and I think the child likes you even more, why don't you take her in and raise her yourself? Don't worry, I'll take care of her food, clothing, and everything else. You just need to keep an eye on her."

Cui Ruixin thought to herself, "Oh no, I've acted too hastily."

She gently pinched Chen Dongxi, who was still hesitating about whether to go to the main room with her, and immediately came to her senses.

They can't leave; the third wife's family has far more money than the first wife's.

If she wants to live a life of wealth and luxury for the rest of her life, she must not annoy Shen Jinzhu.

So she said pitifully, "Aunt Shen, are you going to kick me out?"

“Of course I’m not kicking you out. You will still live in the Marquis’s residence, and nothing will change. It’s just that you will now be staying with your aunt instead of me,” Shen Jinzhu replied expressionlessly.

"I don't want to leave you. Aunt Shen, please, don't send me away." As she spoke, Chen Dongxi started coughing violently.

"Oh dear, Xi'er, are you alright? You need to take good care of yourself." Cui Rui looked at her with concern.

He then stood up and looked at Shen Jinzhu: "Sigh, it's my fault, I said the wrong thing. I'll be going now. Third sister-in-law, please take care of this child."

After saying this, Cui Ruixin turned and left.

Anyway, she has already accomplished her mission of sowing discord for the day.

Shen Jinzhu ignored her, as well as Chen Dongxi, who was coughing incessantly on the bed.

She instructed, "Agate, take good care of Miss Xi'er. If you need anything, come find me in the main courtyard."

He turned around and left.

Chen Dongxi gripped the blanket tightly, glaring hatefully at Shen Jinzhu's departing figure.

Sure enough, Auntie was right; Aunt Shen didn't treat her like one of her own at all.

Yu Ningyao only had a small cut on her head, but Shen Jinzhu hired the best doctor in the entire capital and spent one hundred taels of silver to buy her medicine.

And though she fell into the water and became so seriously ill, she only spent one or two taels of silver on her medical treatment.

The excuse that Dr. Zhang is unavailable is just that—an excuse.

It's obvious he just doesn't want to spend money on her.

……

After returning to the main courtyard, Shen Jinzhu felt somewhat irritable.

Looking at Chen Dongxi, she couldn't help but think of Yu Ningyao.

Yu Ningyao is not her biological child either.

Although this child is very well-behaved and sensible now, when she grows up, if she finds out that she is not her biological daughter, will she be like Chen Dongxi?

Do you dislike her because of a few words of provocation from others?

"Jadeite, do you think Yaoyao will end up like Xier, not close to me because we're not biologically related?" she couldn't help but ask her trusted maid.

Before Emerald could answer, Yu Ningyao came running in, swaying as she carried a bunch of wildflowers she had picked from the yard.

"Mommy, here's a pretty hairpin for you~~~" Yu Ningyao knew she was in a bad mood, so she came to coax her.

When Shen Jinzhu saw this, she wanted to hug her and kiss her as usual.

But when she thought of the problem that had been bothering her, she suddenly became afraid to get too close to Yu Ningyao.

If you're destined to part ways, it's better not to invest so much emotion.

"Thank you, Yaoyao." She smiled faintly and had her maid accept the wildflowers that Yu Ningyao had given her.

Then he sent her away.

"Alright, take the second young lady away. I have other things to take care of."

Yu Ningyao was carried away, looking completely bewildered.

She felt that her mother seemed a little strange.

Even when dealing with accounts and disciplining servants, she never did it behind her back.

She's well-behaved and doesn't make a fuss, so why does her mother want her to leave?
