Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother
Chapter 299: A Thorn in the Eye
Seeing that Nanny Cui seemed to understand what she meant, Aunt Ye suppressed her dissatisfaction and put on a kind face.
"Madame Cui, I know it's not easy for you. I don't want you to go against Madam directly, just help me before I give birth. When I gain power in the future, I will definitely not forget your kindness."
Nanny Cui's eyes turned, she thought about it and thought this was a good idea.
Ye Ziru stepped forward, held Madam Cui's hand, and said softly, "You only need to help me secretly, and you don't need to confront Madam openly."
“Okay.” Nanny Cui nodded and agreed. This way, she would not lose anything and might even gain more benefits.
Then, she quickly took the long pole from Ye Ziru's hand and said, "How can I let you do such heavy work? You go and have a rest, I'll pick the dates." After that, she started to get busy, and soon, the dates fell one after another.
Ye Ziru held her waist and sneered. These servants would turn to you as long as they were given a little bit of sweetness. Although they could not be completely trusted, it was still feasible to use them temporarily.
Having followed her aunt since childhood, Ye Ziru is well versed in the ways of household fighting. When it comes to conspiracies and tricks, Ye Qianyao is no match at all.
Touching her belly, she whispered to herself: "My child, you must be strong. Your mother is counting on you."
From then on, Ye Ziru could rest assured and take care of her pregnancy, while Aunt Cui, who knew how to deal with things, was busy making delicious cakes with the freshly picked winter dates.
"Auntie, please try it." The freshly baked date cake was sweet and sour, and even Ye Ziru ate a few more pieces. "It tastes great. Give it to the madam."
"Yes, ma'am." Madam Cui's respectful attitude surprised the maids watching.
Looking at her hands that had become rough from hard work, Ye Ziru couldn't help but sigh.
The gentle days of the past are now a thing of the past, and the resentment in my heart is growing stronger.
As a concubine's daughter, she had to endure humiliation; while the legitimate daughter Ye Qianyao could become the legal wife.
"Why?" She felt indignant and even cursed Ye Yunzi and Ye Qianyao secretly.
"Just wait and see. When I become the mistress in the future, who will dare to tell me what to do?" Ye Ziru said coldly.
Just as she was about to taste another piece of date cake, several servants suddenly rushed in and ordered in a cold tone: "Take Aunt away."
"What are you doing?" Ye Ziru looked at the two rude men holding her in astonishment. "I am your aunt! I am pregnant with the master's child, who dares to touch me? If something happens, who can take responsibility?"
She straightened her belly and protested loudly, hoping that the other party would be cautious. After all, the baby in her belly was Shen Yuming's offspring, and it was not something that an ordinary servant could treat casually.
The guard frowned and shouted coldly: "Hurry up and act."
"Yes." Two men held Aunt Ye on the left and right and dragged her out of the house.
The atmosphere in the courtyard was so tense that it was suffocating. Even the maids' faces did not show any fluctuations. Even Ye Ziru's personal maid was no exception, as if they had never regarded her as their master.
Madam has always regarded Aunt Ye as a thorn in her side and has tried every means to get rid of her. It is only a matter of time before this day comes.
"You dogs, if anyone dares to touch a hair on my head, I will go to the master to complain... Let me go, let me go." Ye Ziru was brought roughly to the hall, where a group of people stood. Their eyes were cold and heartless, as if they were examining a lifeless person.
"You, you guys..." Ye Ziru looked at everyone in horror, and suddenly felt an ominous sign in her heart, realizing that this must be a conspiracy planned by Ye Qianyao.
"Aunt, how can you be so cruel! You actually poisoned the madam." Aunt Cui pointed at Ye Ziru, her voice trembling and her face full of disbelief.
"What?" Ye Ziru's face changed drastically, and her ears were buzzing. "I didn't poison you! I definitely didn't do such a thing."
"Madam fell ill in bed and almost died. Thanks to the doctor's timely rescue, she was saved. This happened after she ate the date cake you sent her." Madam Cui said firmly.
"It's not me! You made the date cake, I never touched it." Ye Ziru shook her head in denial, with despair in her voice.
Aunt Cui looked extremely grief-stricken: "Aunt, your words are really disheartening. It was clearly Madam who personally ordered you to prepare the winter jujube cake by yourself to show your sincerity..."
"You are lying." Ye Ziru became more and more flustered. Under the gazes of everyone, sweat flowed down her back and her face became paler.
"Madame Cui, didn't we agree on this before? If you help me, I will definitely repay you in the future..." Ye Ziru stopped talking before she finished speaking. Looking at Madame Cui's cold eyes, she understood everything - all of this was a trap arranged by Ye Qianyao.
At this moment, a servant announced loudly: "The master is here." The whole hall suddenly became silent, and everyone's arrogance immediately subsided.
"What happened here that makes so much noise?" Shen Yuming appeared at the door wearing a blue brocade robe, brows furrowed, obviously dissatisfied with the sudden noise.
He usually doesn't care about trivial matters at home, but the noise in the backyard today was so loud that he had no choice but to come and check it out.
Seeing Shen Yuming, Ye Ziru seemed to have grasped the last hope, tears welled up in her eyes. She gently stroked her belly, which was carrying Shen Yuming's child, and believed that he would seek justice for her.
"Master..." Ye Ziru burst into tears and collapsed on the ground, looking extremely pitiful.
Shen Yuming glanced at Ye Ziru coldly. He had rarely paid attention to her since she came in.
At this moment, the woman in front of him had disheveled hair, a haggard and swollen face, tear marks all over her face, and she was wearing simple clothes. She looked like an ordinary woman on the street.
Shen Yuming frowned, shocked. What kind of situation was this?
"Master, please save me..." Ye Ziru's voice was full of despair.
Shen Yuming ignored her and turned to ask Aunt Cui: "What happened?"
Aunt Cui replied respectfully, "Master, today Madam asked Auntie to make a date cake and send it to us. But unexpectedly, the cake was poisoned. Madam vomited blood and fainted immediately after eating it. The doctor said the situation is very critical."
"I didn't do it." Ye Ziru retorted sharply, "It was Madam who wanted to frame me."
She threw herself at Shen Yuming's feet, hugged his legs tightly, and her eyes were full of tears. "Master, you have to believe me, I am carrying your flesh and blood in my belly..."
Shen Yuming frowned, trying to avoid her tears and snot, but Ye Ziru still held on tightly. "Master, please, save me." She pleaded in a trembling voice.
"Let go." Shen Yuming finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Neither Ye Qianyao nor Ye Ziru had a place in his heart. He married them out of helplessness, but now it has become like this, which makes him upset.
