At the same time, Lord Ji's side was also shrouded in dark clouds.

Ji Xin had a cold expression on his face and a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. He ordered the guards: "Find that person and get rid of him."

"Yes, my lord." The guard took the order and left.

The Su Mansion became the focus of everyone's discussion overnight. The whole capital was talking about this matter, and some people seemed to want to make a big deal out of it.

Whenever Su's name was mentioned, everyone would sneer and look down on him.

"Tsk tsk, I thought she was a noble lady from a famous family, but I didn't expect her to be so despicable."

"Most people wouldn't do something like having an affair with someone."

"I saw her a few days ago. She is really beautiful. No wonder someone is so attracted to her."

The rumors became more and more outrageous.

However, the servants in the Su Mansion kept their mouths shut and did not let any news leak out. The Su family's courtyard was as quiet as ever.

"Madam, breakfast is ready." The maid said softly.

Su got up and prepared to eat.

The maids secretly looked at Su. They all knew that Su rarely went out on weekdays. Apart from embroidery and painting, she would concentrate on self-cultivation and never do anything out of the ordinary.

Those rumors about her are totally nonsense.

The maid sighed in her heart, thinking that the poor lady had to endure such false accusations after being separated from her husband.

At this time, Su suddenly asked, "Why is Nanny Qin missing?"

She felt something was wrong because she hadn't seen the old servant for the past two days.

"Madame Qin..." The maid looked embarrassed, as if she wanted to say something but was hesitant.

Su noticed something was wrong and urged, "Just tell me what you have to say."

The maid finally mustered up the courage and said, "Madame Qin is ill and has a severe cold, so she couldn't come to serve you."

"Is she sick?" Su asked with concern, "Go get the doctor, I want to go see her."

"Ma'am, please don't go!"

The maid hurried to stop him, fearing that the matter would be exposed.

Su frowned, realizing that there must be something hidden behind this. "Tell me, what happened to Nanny Qin?"

……

Servants' quarters.

Suddenly, a door was pushed open.

The cold wind immediately poured in, and Nanny Qin, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but tremble. She looked up and was immediately panicked, "Madam..."

Su immediately had the door closed and stared at Nanny Qin.

Nanny Qin quickly covered her face with the quilt, "Madam, why are you here? I have caught a cold and I'm afraid I might infect you."

Su's heart suddenly tightened. In the previous glance, she saw that Nanny Qin's face was severely swollen, her nose and face were bruised, and there were scratches all over her body.

Nanny Qin had been with Su for decades, like half a mother to her, raising her from childhood to adulthood. Seeing the injuries on Nanny Qin's body, how could Su not feel heartbroken.

"Madam Qin, what on earth is going on?" Su asked anxiously.

"Madam..." Nanny Qin tried to cover up, but finally reluctantly lifted the quilt and tried to sit up. Su immediately stepped forward to support her and said softly, "Don't move, just lie down."

Nanny Qin forced a smile and said, "I'm fine. I just had an argument with someone on my way out. I got so angry that I started fighting. That's why it happened."

Su knew Nanny Qin's character very well. If it wasn't a big deal, she would never fight with anyone easily. She said, "Nanny Qin, tell me the truth."

Nanny Qin seemed a little flustered: "Really, Madam, I am telling the truth, how dare I lie to you!"

Seeing this, Su turned to the little maid beside her and said, "Tell me, what happened? If you hide anything, you know the consequences."

The little maid looked embarrassed and looked at Nanny Qin for help.

"Look at me and answer." Su's tone became more severe.

The little maid bit her lower lip tightly, almost crying, and was extremely conflicted. If she revealed the secret, the young lady would definitely not forgive her.

At this time, Nanny Qin sighed and seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.

She coughed twice and signaled the maid to leave.

The little maid was relieved and quickly left and closed the door.

Nanny Qin held Su's hand tightly, with reluctance and love in her eyes, "Madam, let the young lady handle this matter, please don't worry about it."

Su nodded, giving Nanny Qin the confidence to continue.

It turned out that there were rumors about the lady recently. After hearing about it, Nanny Qin was furious and had a conflict with someone outside, resulting in her being beaten.

In order not to worry Su, she had been hiding this fact.

Now, the truth has finally come to light.

"Madam..." Nanny Qin held Su's hand tightly, feeling worried.

Su's face turned pale instantly, her chest rose and fell violently, and her breathing became rapid. Such an unbearable rumor had spread outside.

Meeting someone secretly? How is that possible?

She didn't care about her reputation being damaged, but what about Yunzi? If others knew that her mother was a frivolous woman, Yunzi would be criticized in the future.

Thinking of this, Su felt his chest churning, a fishy and sweet taste surged in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?" Nanny Qin held Su in panic and shouted, "Hurry up and find Doctor Tao."

The entire Su Mansion fell into chaos. Su was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted on the bed.

Doctor Tao came in a hurry, frowned and remained silent while taking Su's pulse. He found that Su's body had recovered well, but now his qi and blood were disordered due to emotional fluctuations, and his condition worsened again.

He solemnly warned everyone: "Don't let Madam be stimulated again, otherwise even the most skilled doctors will be helpless."

Nanny Qin burst into tears and knelt on the ground, blaming herself. If she had not told the lady those gossips, perhaps none of this would have happened.

At this time, Ye Yunzi rushed over after hearing the news. After hearing what Doctor Tao said, she almost couldn't stand. Fortunately, her maid Yu Shu supported her in time.

Barely supporting herself, Ye Yunzi walked towards her mother's bedroom. She saw Su lying on the bed, her face as pale as paper, and she looked so haggard that it was heartbreaking.

Ye Yunzi clenched her fists, her shoulders trembled slightly, and she was angry.

Whoever was behind this, she would make him pay.

Leng Xue's voice came from outside the door: "Miss, we have found out who is spreading rumors."

"Who?" Ye Yunzi asked coldly.

Leng Xue replied, "These malicious remarks about Madam were first spread by a purchasing lady in the Ye Mansion."

"Ye Mansion..." Ye Yunzi repeated the name, then sneered, her eyes full of cold hatred.

It turned out to be the Ye family. Ye Chongde not only harmed his mother, but also did not forget to completely destroy his mother's reputation after the divorce.

Ye Yunzi's tightly clenched hands slowly loosened, her face as pale as a sheet of white paper. Her lips trembled slightly, and she whispered, "I was wrong."
