Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

She almost let it slip that the poison was prepared by her own hands, but she didn't want to reveal her true colors, so she changed the subject: "It was prepared by a miracle doctor I met by chance in the capital. There is no antidote for this poison. Once you drink it, there is no turning back."

She prepared that poison with so much anger that there was no chance of survival.

Ye Yunzi completely concealed the indifference on her face so that no one would notice it.

"This is strange... whose child is that in Aunt Ye's belly..." Jiang said to herself.

Aunt Zhao at the side knew what was going on and interrupted, "Mrs. Ye must have been anxious to gain a foothold in the Lin residence, so this happened. But she didn't know that the master already had the medicine..."

"Correct."

Ye Yunzi looked up at Aunt Zhao, then returned her gaze to Jiang and said seriously, "Don't tell anyone about this. Just pretend you haven't heard anything. As for what's next... I have my own plans!"

"I'm talking about this today just to reassure you." Ye Yunzi sat down again and held Jiang's hand tightly. "Mom, no matter what, you still have me and the entire Jiang family behind you... Uncle will also be returning to the capital soon, so you can't dwell on this."

"What?" Jiang was stunned. "You mean uncle?"

"Yes." Ye Yunzi nodded. "My uncle wrote back a few days ago saying that he would be returning to the capital in a while."

Upon hearing this, Jiang suddenly burst into tears, and her tears fell one by one like pearls from a broken string, "Brother... is he coming back?"

"Oh, mother." Ye Yunzi was shocked. She had never expected Jiang's reaction to be so strong.

Jiang wiped away her tears and smiled, "Mother is just too happy. I haven't seen my brother since we parted before I got married. Now I hear that he is coming back, my heart is warm." This joy came from the heart. Usually she kept it secret and never mentioned anything about the Ye Mansion, but sometimes she would touch half of the jade pendant in a daze. The other half must be in someone else's hands.

After thinking about it, the lost jade pendant fragment must be with Jiang Luoan.

Jiang's elder brother was the mysterious person far away in Kaifeng.

Ye Yunzi's eyes flickered, and her heart was relieved.

In the days that followed, Jiang and Zhao kept the secret and never mentioned it. But every time they saw Ye Yunzi, their eyes would change subtly, and when they exchanged glances, they understood each other.

The drugging became a secret that could not be told.

Jiang's health was getting better day by day. Perhaps it was because she heard the news that Jiang Luoan was coming to the capital. Her brows relaxed, her cold improved significantly, and she was able to walk around in the yard, regaining her former gentleness and charm.

Jiang was born extremely beautiful. She was a famous beauty in the capital city back then. More than ten years had passed, and time had been particularly kind to her. She was still as dignified and noble as ever, with eyes and eyebrows as picturesque when she smiled, and full of charm.

"Mom, come and sit down!" Ye Yunzi pulled Jiang to the swing in the yard. The swing made her feel like she was back to her carefree childhood.

Jiang felt a little embarrassed. She was so grown up, and still playing on the swing?

"It's okay, just sit down. No one is watching. I'll push you gently from behind..." Ye Yunzi forced Jiang to sit on the swing, chuckling.

The maids in the distance covered their mouths and couldn't help laughing.

Zijin Courtyard was always very dull before, and after Aunt Ye came, it was even more dangerous. The lady had been ill for a long time, and the servants were all worried. Now that they saw that the lady was getting better and the mother and daughter were so harmonious, their mood also improved.

The swing began to swing, and the breeze blew on her face. At first, Jiang was a little reserved and her face flushed, but as the swing swung higher and higher, she felt her mood soar.

"How do you feel?" Ye Yunzi asked, pushing gently from behind.

Jiang nodded and smiled: "Very good."

The breeze blew, mixed with the fragrance of flowers and the freshness of grass. Ye Yunzi turned a corner of the yard into a garden, with flowers competing for beauty, and deep inside was her secret - those poisonous weeds, no one dared to set foot except her. Swinging to a high place, the spring scenery in the garden is in full view.

Jiang felt that all the worries in her heart were swept away by the spring breeze and she took a deep breath.

Ye Yunzi stepped aside. Even if she stopped pushing, Jiang could still swing leisurely by herself. At this moment, she suddenly discovered that there was a small scar under Jiang's left arm, at the back of the palm.

"Mom, what is this? When did you get injured?" Ye Yunzi asked with concern.

Jiang stopped what she was doing and rolled up her sleeves, revealing a dark scar on her fair and tender arm, which had obviously been with her for many years.

"This is..." Jiang was stunned for a moment, a trace of memory flashed in her eyes, and then she shook her head, "I was bitten by a wolf cub when I was a child."

"Little wolf?" Ye Yunzi came forward curiously. Although the scar was faint, she could still recognize it as a human tooth mark if she looked carefully.

Ye Yunzi looked up and saw Jiang gently pressing the old wound, with a rare tenderness in her eyes.

"That little wolf was very wild. I just wanted to help it, but it bit me instead. I don't know how it is now... At least it shouldn't be as pitiful as it was back then."

"Really..." Ye Yunzi murmured to herself. She always felt that her memories of the past were vague. Since she was not very close to her mother, she did not know much about her mother's past.

As they were talking, Aunt Zhao came hurriedly and said in a low voice: "Something has happened in the small courtyard..."

"Small courtyard? What big thing could happen to Madam Ye?" Ye Yunzi sneered. Now Ye Chongde took good care of Madam Ye and sent good things to the small courtyard continuously, fearing that something bad might happen to her. With such a protection method, what kind of trouble could there be?

"I heard that Aunt Ye has been suffering from insomnia and anorexia recently, and she looks quite haggard."

Nanny Zhao told all the information she had heard, and then continued, "I have consulted several doctors, but none of them could find out what is wrong. So today I plan to ask a Feng Shui master to see if there is something wrong with the Feng Shui of the house. I heard that this could affect the fetus..."

"Pfft!" Ye Yunzi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Feng Shui problem? This is obviously a trick played by Aunt Ye! She just wants to take this opportunity to groan and move out of that remote yard...

Even if Concubine Ye was pregnant, she was not eligible to live in the main courtyard. After all, Jiang was the legitimate wife of the Lin family, and no one could shake this. If Concubine Ye wanted to climb to that position, she had to use some tricks. After thinking about it, she decided to pretend to be sick.

Ye Chongde was extremely caring towards Aunt Ye and the baby in her belly. Once Aunt Ye felt a little unwell, he would become extremely anxious and would not care about anything else.

"Okay, then I'll go see what's wrong with Aunt Ye."

Ye Yunzi was about to walk out when Jiang quickly grabbed her sleeve and said, "Yunzi..."
