The Noble Lady's Rebirth: She just wants to Rest in Peace!-Chapter 338 - 330: Total

Suyi didn’t dare to take these words; Second Young Master is getting more and more reckless now, especially with Princess Yuanhua supporting him, he seems to care even less about anything.

Moreover, regarding that incident Second Young Master caused before, the person was clearly doing fine normally, so how could things get so muddled!

Suyi’s impression of Second Young Master is worsening; she thinks he’s been spoiled.

But she cannot say these things, and the Senior Madam is not someone who always indulges her son. At least after Second Young Master became unpromising, the old lady didn’t even acknowledge him as her son. Which matriarch from an ordinary noble family would make such a decision?

Among the children of such noble families, who isn’t spoiled, especially considering what’s been done? It’s not something else. But the Senior Madam wouldn’t tolerate this. For this, Suyi already holds some admiration in her heart.

"Send someone to investigate what’s really going on with the second one. Let’s avoid a situation where he causes trouble again, and the Zhou Mansion can’t handle it, leaving our Marquis Mansion to deal with it. Such things have happened more than once or twice these days. Even though I’ve severed my mother-son relationship with him, outside people won’t see it that way. When he gets into trouble, they’ll still turn to our mansion. Rather than letting that happen, it’s better to have someone watch him closely before he causes any major issues," Mrs. Gu Sr. said, seeing no other solution. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Suyi responded and quietly withdrew. Mrs. Gu Sr. didn’t want to think about her son anymore, feeling both heartbroken and angry, yet helpless.

Now speaking of Mrs. Dong, she saw that Mrs. Gu Sr. was already mobilizing efforts on her end, yet there was no movement from the East Mansion, which she found strange. After waiting a few days without any news, she knew that the Marquis was always there, which made Mrs. Dong uncomfortable, so she called over Aunt He and Aunt Lv.

After the two greeted her, Mrs. Dong didn’t bother with pleasantries and got straight to the point, "Since the Marquis returned, he stays mostly at the East Mansion. You are both the Marquis’s concubines, and our Marquis Mansion lacks offspring. Now I already have Brother Zong and am not in a convenient state. You should work to add more branches and leaves for the mansion. Even after being with the Marquis for many years, he might not find you novel now, but if you’re not attentive, it’s no wonder he won’t be keen to return to the Marquis Mansion."

Lady Lv appeared displeased, "Madam makes it sound so easy. We also want the Marquis to return, but he simply doesn’t. There’s nothing we concubines can do. And you know the Marquis’s temperament; if we overstep, he might accuse us of disrespect before we even say anything."

Thinking about it made Aunt Lv uncomfortable, and calling it jealousy might be more accurate.

The Madam and the Marquis haven’t been together much, yet she got pregnant and had a boy.

She had already given birth to two daughters. When the Marquis was not yet burdened with responsibilities, he’d visit her courtyard a few times. But now, she can’t even see him.

Aunt He, unlike Aunt Lv, had a very reserved nature and became even quieter after the Gu Chaoxuan incident. Even as Mrs. Dong spoke, Aunt He remained silent, and Mrs. Dong, seeing her like this, didn’t bother saying much more.

Mrs. Dong simply looked at Aunt Lv, "The Marquis won’t return, but you can visit him. You can’t just do nothing, showing no concern at all. Let the Marquis see that you still care for him. Do you need me to teach you this? It’s no wonder you haven’t won the Marquis’s affection over these years."

Aunt Lv was infuriated, nearly spitting blood. She had been with the Marquis for years, yet Mrs. Dong repeatedly intervened. Every time the Marquis spent more time in her courtyard, Mrs. Dong would approach her for a talk. Now Mrs. Dong blamed her for not securing the Marquis’s heart.

Feeling disgruntled, Aunt Lv stopped speaking. She now thought Aunt He’s approach was wise; Aunt He probably realized long ago what kind of person Mrs. Dong was and chose to remain silent.

After saying so much, Lv Liang didn’t speak anymore, clearly sulking and showing an unpleasant face, dismissing both to leave.

As they exited the main building, before leaving the courtyard, Aunt Lv spoke out, "Clearly Madam can’t manage things in the back courtyard, yet she blames us, treating us like punching bags. Doesn’t she realize she’s the Madam? Even if the Marquis is burdened, he can’t always stay at the East Mansion. If her voice carries no weight, what can we concubines say?"

Aunt He listened without responding. Aunt Lv knew why, and snickered, "Brother Xuan received favor from the Eldest Prince, so why did the Marquis send him away? If it’s really impossible, maybe you should find someone to plead with the Eldest Prince."

When Aunt He heard this, her eyes lit up but soon dimmed, "I’m just a concubine, who can I plead with?"

"True, but as for the Second Young Master? He’s with Princess Yuanhua now. Although she’s been stripped of her title, she’s still Consort Zhou’s daughter. Wherever she goes, people still treat her like a princess. You might be able to ask for her help." Smiling, Aunt Lv turned and left.

Aunt He, however, understood that things weren’t that simple. After all, Mrs. Gu Sr. had already disowned the Second Young Master. If she appealed to Princess Yuanhua, and if Mrs. Gu Sr. found out, she would be unforgiving. Moreover, the Marquis already sent Brother Xuan to Jiangxi. If she asked the Eldest Prince to bring him back, the Marquis wouldn’t forgive her.

Yet thinking about her son being away, not knowing when he’d return, and seeing the Marquis’s determination, Aunt He couldn’t help but feel distressed. Her heart ached for her son, even if the Marquis didn’t care.

Knowing she couldn’t help, Aunt He gritted her teeth. After returning to her courtyard, she called over a maid, whispered a few instructions, and although the maid frowned, faced with Aunt He’s determined gaze, she dared not refuse and left.

Aunt He waited for news, and the maid eventually returned, saying Princess Yuanhua and the Second Young Master hadn’t returned, only Sister Yue and Brother De were at the mansion. But the gatekeepers said they’d send word once Princess Yuanhua was back.

After hearing this, Aunt He finally sighed in relief.
