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

"It's okay, I just feel a little upset in my stomach."

"Then hurry up..." Ye Chongde originally wanted to let Third Aunt go back and rest, but looking at the tense atmosphere in Zijin Courtyard, he changed his words: "Bring a chair, let Aunt sit and rest for a while."

A stick of incense has passed.

Everyone waited quietly in Zijin Courtyard. The servants of Zijin Courtyard came back one after another. Madam Zhao reported with joy: "We found them. A madam who did rough work also saw them fall into the water. She was the one who called for help to rescue the young lady and the third concubine."

The nanny who did the rough work was brought over. She was usually busy in the backyard and didn't know much about what was happening in the front yard, let alone that the Third Aunt accused Ye Yunzi of pushing her into the water.

"Tell me quickly, what did you see?" Madam Zhao urged.

The maid nodded and answered honestly, "I saw Third Aunt standing by the pond. She lost her balance and fell into the water. When she fell, she dragged Young Lady with her."

"How did my aunt fall in?"

"I didn't stand firmly and fell down."

"Could it be that the eldest lady pushed him?" Madam Zhao asked. This matter could not be taken lightly.

The maid didn't know what was going on. She was honest and didn't know how to lie, so she said, "No, it was the aunt who fell down by herself, and then somehow she pulled the young lady down with her. Seeing the emergency, the old servant immediately called for help."

The evidence was irrefutable, and both servants said so, so it was useless for the Third Aunt to try to argue.

A fierce look flashed across Third Aunt's face. Originally, it would have been fine if this matter had not been mentioned, but now the situation has completely changed.

"Auntie..." Ye Ziru called out in panic.

Ye Chongde stared at the Third Aunt in disbelief: "Why did you lie?"

"I..." Third Aunt knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she secretly clenched her fists, hardened her heart, and knelt down in front of Ye Chongde with a plop: "It's all my fault! I felt a sharp pain in my waist at the time, and I thought someone pushed me. When I turned around, I saw the eldest lady, so I mistakenly thought it was the eldest lady who pushed me into the water."

There was a hint of reluctance in her words, but no matter what, she didn't let anyone notice that she had any plans for Ye Yunzi.

"It's all my fault." The Third Aunt's body trembled slightly, her voice was low and full of regret.

"Wan'er, you..." It turned out that this was just a misunderstanding. The third aunt had never seen Ye Yunzi pushing anyone with her own eyes. She just mistakenly thought that someone pushed her because of the severe pain in her waist. How could she be so confused?

Ye Chongde acted on impulse and imposed severe punishment on Zijinyuan, and even asked Su to reflect on his mistakes in the ancestral hall. These decisions hit him like a slap in the face. At the moment, he was in a difficult situation and could not retreat easily as he was standing in a high position.

"How can you be so confused?"

"It's my fault. Please punish me, sir. I am willing to go to the ancestral hall to reflect on myself." The third aunt spoke softly, and her body looked even more fragile.

Considering that she was pregnant, if she was really allowed to go to the ancestral hall and catch a cold, the consequences would be disastrous.

"..." Ye Chongde was in a dilemma. He really couldn't bear to punish the third aunt.

The Third Aunt was crying like rain, looking even more pitiful. Suddenly, her body tilted, and she fell to the ground, losing consciousness.

"Wan'er..." Ye Chongde was extremely anxious and hugged her quickly, "Go get a doctor! Quick!"

"Aunt, aunt, nothing can happen to you!" Ye Ziru was extremely anxious, and the yard was instantly in chaos.

Su Yongyu watched the Third Aunt coldly. He had sharp eyes and could tell whether she was truly unconscious or not at a glance. It was obvious that the Third Aunt was pretending to be unconscious.

It’s no wonder that such a cunning woman can thrive in the Ye Mansion.

Just as he was about to speak, a hand gently held his and shook his head, "That's enough."

Su had woken up at some point, her face was haggard and her eyes were full of disappointment.

"I want some quiet time. It's too noisy here."

Su Yongyu felt sorry for Su Shi, secretly tightened her hand, and then said coldly: "The person who made the mistake is still making excuses, just be quiet! All the outsiders will be expelled from Zijin Courtyard. If you want to see the doctor, please go back to your own courtyard and don't disturb Madam's recuperation."

"Today's incident was caused by a word from the Third Aunt, which caused the Madam and the Young Lady of the Ye Mansion to be like this. This matter must be investigated. Master Ye, if you do not investigate, I will report it to the government and let the people of the world judge. Once the reputation of the Ye Mansion of favoring concubines and ignoring wives spreads..."

Su Yongyu didn't finish his words, but everyone understood his meaning.

Ye Chongde is at the peak of his career, and any negative rumors could cost him his official position.

Ye Chongde's expression suddenly changed, but he was speechless for a moment and could only choose to remain silent. He ordered the servants to help the third aunt out, and then said in a deep voice: "I will handle this matter myself."

Zijin Courtyard returned to peace, and Su forced a bitter smile on her pale face. "I'm so sorry to have you make this special trip."

"Sister..." Su Yongyu frowned. In his memory, she was as bright as a flower and acted decisively. However, the days in the Ye Mansion seemed to have smoothed her edges and turned her into a completely different person.

Su took Su Yongyu back to the house to chat about family matters. At this time, Ye Yunzi came out at the right time and her eyes fell on Su Huan who was not far away. She knew that it was Su Huan who discovered the maid Yulan and revealed the truth of the drowning incident. If it weren't for him, the third concubine might really put all the blame on her.

She walked towards Su Huan, looked up and said seriously: "Thank you."

The two of them looked at each other, and a trace of fluctuation flashed in Su Huan's deep purple eyes, as if hiding something. Looking at Ye Yunzi's pale and thin face, he couldn't help but feel a little apologetic.

If he hadn't left that day, perhaps Third Aunt wouldn't have had the opportunity to drag Ye Yunzi into the water, and there wouldn't have been the subsequent series of twists and turns.

"I'm sorry!" Su Huan said softly.

Ye Yunzi blinked and then smiled in response: "Why are you apologizing? I can't thank you enough."

"It was my negligence this time. I didn't expect that Third Aunt would take such a risk and even use the child in her belly to frame me." She frowned and had a new understanding of Third Aunt's cruelty.

But this just shows that the Third Aunt is guilty. She wants to gain power with this child, but she doesn't intend to actually give birth to it.

Because that child was not Ye Chongde's at all.

How to continue hiding the truth after the child is born is a problem that gives Third Aunt a headache.

Ye Yunzi's lips curled up, with a hint of coldness in her smile: "She must take good care of her body and make sure to give birth to this child."

Her expression at this moment seemed as if she was planning something big.

Su Huan looked at her and fell silent. Although she seemed weak, she was actually tougher than anyone else, like a kitten that seemed docile but was always ready to stretch out its claws, and would not stop until it had bruised and battered its opponent.

After a long while, Ye Yunzi raised her head, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "By the way, how did you find this girl Yulan? Logically speaking, with Third Aunt's scheming, she should have sent all the servants away. How did Yulan appear there?"
