Qiu Er gently massaged his shoulders and said sweetly, "Master, judging by the time, Third Aunt should be giving birth soon."

"Ah."

"Who will raise the child? If Third Aunt raises it alone..."

Ye Chongde frowned after hearing this. The baby in the third aunt's belly might be his eldest son. How could the eldest son be raised by an aunt? He thought about it and said, "Yes, the aunt can't raise the child. When the child is born, give it to Su to raise! She has no children, so she is the most suitable."

The more Ye Chongde thought about it, the better he felt that this was a good idea. This way, he could not only control the Su family, but also solve the problem of raising the child, killing two birds with one stone.

Qiu'er smiled and praised the master for his wisdom.

In fact, behind her beautiful smile, there is a coldness.

If the Third Aunt gave birth to a child, and if she used it to win over the Master and the Master changed his mind, then they would be left out in the cold. She had to eliminate this possibility at the source.

The Third Aunt has lost her child and the master's favor. Let's see what else she can do.

This news eventually reached the ears of the third aunt.

The third concubine was carefully dressing herself in front of the bronze mirror, looking forward to the master's arrival, but she did not expect to be greeted with such shocking news.

"What? My child is going to be raised by the Su family?" She widened her eyes in shock, her body swayed, and she hurriedly held onto the table to steady herself.

"no!"

Her only support now is the baby in her belly. Once the child is not around, she will never be able to turn things around and will have to live out her life alone in this large mansion.

"My child must not be left to others. I have to find a way." The third concubine was hit hard and looked dazed. Although the master did not give a formal order, the words he said were like the seeds of his thoughts.

"what should I do?"

The third aunt hurried to the desk, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote on the paper with trembling hands.

Then she called a trusted maid, handed her the envelope, and attached some reward money, and said anxiously: "Be sure to send this letter, the sooner the better."

"The servant understands."

The maid hurried out with the letter, but was stopped in the front yard. After being frightened, she told everything.

The news soon reached Ye Yunzi's ears.

"Miss, the Third Aunt secretly sent someone to deliver a letter to Qingfulou." Zhilan held the intercepted letter in her hand with a cold look in her eyes. She originally thought that the Third Aunt was resting and taking care of her pregnancy in Wenmayuan and there would not be any more troubles. She didn't expect that she actually wanted to contact the outside world secretly.

Ye Yunzi looked calm as she continued to flip through the book in her hand and said calmly, "Qingfulou...then we should go to find Zhao Changfu."

"How should we deal with this?" A cold light flashed in Zhilan's eyes.

"In my opinion, we should give the letter to the master of the Ye Mansion to prevent future troubles." Leng Xue suggested softly, with a hint of coldness in her voice. Once the news of the Third Aunt's collusion with outsiders reaches Ye Chongde's ears, he will be furious. At that time, the Third Aunt's status will plummet and she can only cry.

But this is not what Ye Yunzi wants.

She gently turned the pages of the book and said calmly, "Send the letter back and tell her to be more restrained. If something like this happens again, don't blame me for being rude."

Zhilan looked at Ye Yunzi, not understanding what she was thinking. Just as Leng Xue said, this letter was enough to cut off the lifeblood of the Third Aunt, so why did she have to warn her in the extra effort?

Despite her doubts, Zhilan still responded and turned to leave.

The third concubine was anxiously waiting for a reply in the room. The only one who could save her now was Zhao Changfu. Her child must be raised by her personally and must not be handed over to Su.

However, what she waited for was not a reply, but someone from Zijinyuan.

Zhilan put the letter on the table and looked at the third aunt coldly.

The third aunt trembled and took a few steps back, "This... this..."

"Third Aunt, you should just stop worrying and focus on your pregnancy here. If you do these little tricks again... don't blame us for being ruthless."

"You..." The third concubine was trembling all over, unable to speak. Now even the maidservant beside Ye Yunzi dared to boss her around. Zhilan turned around and left. Inside the room, the third concubine sat weakly on the bed, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

"It's too much, too much. No, I won't let it go."

……

The mansion was calm and peaceful on the surface.

The old woman was planning to take everyone in the Ye family to Qingyun Mountain to burn incense and worship Buddha to get rid of bad luck. As soon as this idea came up, she immediately decided to set off for Qingyun Mountain in three days.

Everyone was busy packing their luggage, and the mansion was bustling with activity. In the Wenma Courtyard, someone walked out quietly, looked around cautiously, and then walked towards the backyard.

Along the way, no one noticed Li Ma.

In the backyard, the servants were busy packing the carriages. This time they were going to Qingyun Mountain, and they would stay on the mountain for one night to worship Buddha in peace. There were many items needed, so they prepared seven carriages.

Zhang Shan was checking the carriage when he saw Nanny Li talking to the coachman.

"Madame Li." He walked forward and called out.

Nanny Li paused, and when she turned around, her expression returned to normal and she smiled slightly: "I am here to check the carriage on the orders of the Second Madam. The journey is long, and the Second Madam has had a backache recently, so she needs to put a thick cushion in the carriage."

"So that's how it is..." Zhang Shan nodded without any suspicion.

Nanny Li said a few words and left in a hurry without staying for long.

Zijin Courtyard.

Su was weak and could not stand the bumps, so she naturally did not go to Qingyun Mountain to burn incense. Ye Yunzi ordered Zhilan to stay by her mother's side, not allowing anyone to approach, and to be extra careful about her diet.

Zhilan agreed with a serious look.

Su leaned against the couch, feeling a tightness in her chest, a headache, and her eyelids twitching constantly.

"Yunzi!"

"Don't worry, mother." Ye Yunzi knelt beside Su and held her hand tightly. "I brought a lot of guards from the Ye Mansion with me when we went up the mountain this time. Nothing will happen."

Su stared at Ye Yunzi and nodded, "Well, go earlier and come back earlier."

Ye Yunzi was not worried about the trip to Qingyun Mountain, but Su's safety. This was a period when there were few people in the Ye Mansion. Ever since the last attack, she had been worried that someone would harm her mother.

She specially arranged for Zhilan to accompany her mother at all times, and also deployed several masters sent from the Su Mansion in the yard.

On the day of the trip, the convoy set off in a mighty manner and the journey was smooth.

Ye Yunzi was accompanied by the martial arts expert Leng Xue, so she felt confident and calm.

Arriving at Qingyun Mountain, Master Jing'an came out to greet everyone.

"Amitabha." She had a peaceful face, was wearing a monk's robe, and looked compassionate.

Mrs. Lin bowed respectfully in greeting.

"Madam, please." Master Jing'an waved her hand slightly and asked the little nun to lead everyone to the guest room in the backyard. When she saw Ye Yunzi, she looked a little embarrassed, her eyes dodged, and finally she put her hands together and silently said, "Amitabha."
