"Zhiyao, are you living well here?" Su Chengjiang asked with concern.

"Not bad." Su Zhiyao smiled slightly, and looked at Su Chengjiang with a particularly hurt look, "Second brother, people here look down on me, but you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine."

Su Jinyue stood by with no expression on her face and did not interrupt their conversation.

Su Chengjiang felt distressed again, "Put away all the things I brought for you, don't let them find them."

"Um."

Su Zhiyao's eyes turned red. "No one loves me here. Only my brother comes to see me."

"I don't know how mother is doing. Is my elder brother worried about me? I really want to go back home to see mother, just one look."

Su Jinyue was not surprised at all to guess that Su Zhiyao would win sympathy.

Su Chengjiang wanted to ask to take her back, but he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Su Jinyue.

Su Jinyue glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.

Su Chengjiang was not completely stupid. He stammered to Su Zhiyao, "Zhiyao, the house is in a mess right now. You can't go back for the time being."

Su Zhiyao never expected that her second brother, who had always loved her but had no brains, would actually reject her. She almost couldn't hold back the pitiful expression on her face!

She looked pitifully in the direction of Su Jinyue, "Is it because sister doesn't want me to go back? Sister, don't worry, I will definitely listen to you when I reply."

"You are the legitimate daughter of the Marquis' Mansion. I know that I am my mother's adopted daughter, and I can't compete with you for anything! I just want to stay by my mother's side!"

Su Jinyue looked at Su Zhiyao with cold eyes, "This matter has nothing to do with me. It's not my decision not to let you return home."

Just at this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the courtyard gate.

A middle-aged woman came in with several servants.

She was the managing nanny of the manor. When she saw Su Chengjiang and Su Jinyue here, she hurried forward to pay her respects.

"Meet the Second Young Master, meet the Eldest Miss."

Su Chengjiang waved his hand casually, "No need to be polite."

The housekeeper looked at Su Jinyue cautiously, then at Su Zhiyao, and said with some embarrassment: "Miss, you know the rules. No one can come in or out here casually. If the Madam finds out, I won't be able to explain myself."

Su Zhiyao lowered her head instantly, with a hint of hidden grievance in her eyes, "I know the rules, but I just want to see my brother and sister."

Su Jinyue smiled slightly and looked at the housekeeper calmly, "Don't worry, we won't stay long."

After that, she turned to Su Chengjiang and said, "Second brother, it's time for us to go back too."

Su Chengjiang hesitated for a moment, and seeing Su Zhiyao's face full of reluctance and begging, he couldn't help but waver, "Jinyue, why don't you stay a little longer?"

Seeing this, Su Jinyue said coldly: "Second brother, if you want to stay, I won't stop you, so you can stay here by yourself."

Su Chengjiang suddenly came to his senses, "Okay, let's go back first."

Before leaving, he said to Su Zhiyao: "Take good care of yourself. I will come to see you again when things are stable."

Su Zhiyao nodded, still looking weak and helpless, "Thank you, second brother."

The two turned and left. A sinister look flashed across Su Zhiyao's eyes, and the pitiful expression on her face gradually disappeared.

On the way back, Su Chengjiang was a little depressed. He looked out through the car window from time to time, as if he was worried about something.

Su Jinyue noticed his mood change, but did not take the initiative to comfort him. Instead, she enjoyed the scenery leisurely.

Finally, Su Chengjiang couldn't help but ask, "Jinyue, do you think Zhiyao will return to the Marquis' Mansion?"

Su Jinyue replied expressionlessly: "It depends on my mother's decision. If she is willing to accept Zhiyao, she will naturally have her considerations."

"Actually, I also know how much Zhiyao has gone too far this time, but can you please not blame her? She will be marrying someone from the Xie family in a few days, and she probably won't stay in the Marquis' Mansion for long." Su Chengjiang said

"It has nothing to do with me." Su Jinyue said: "Her affairs have never had anything to do with me."

Su Chengjiang sighed, his eyes falling on Su Jinyue, "I was wrong to you in the past. My brother and I were prejudiced against you. I'm sorry, Jinyue."

The word "I'm sorry" came a little late, and Su Jinyue no longer felt anything in her heart.

Looking at the scenery outside the carriage window, Su Jinyue said, "No need. Our fight is over a long time ago. We are old enough to apologize to each other."

Su Chengjiang suddenly felt a little disappointed, but he didn't know why.

The carriage returned to the Marquis's residence at dusk, and the two went back to their rooms to rest.

However, just as night fell, a quarrel broke out in the marquis's mansion.

Su Jingnian was making a fuss about going to see Su Zhiyao again, causing chaos in the entire Marquis' Mansion.

"Let me go!" Su Jingnian's roar was particularly harsh in the cold night of the Marquis' Mansion.

The servants tried frantically to stop him, but were clearly overwhelmed.

"Jin Nian, calm down," Jiang Caiping said tiredly, her eyes full of worry, "What can I say to make you listen? That's your sister. She's going to get married. Do you know that?"

Su Jingnian didn't listen at all, "Mother, why do you always want to separate Yao'er and me?! She is innocent!"

When Su Jinyue heard the news and rushed over with Xiaotao, the yard was already in chaos.

The servants in the yard were also talking about it.

"Hey, what should we do if the young master continues like this?"

"Yes, he used to be so elegant and refined, but now he has become so out of control."

"Could it be that Su Zhiyao has really bewitched his mind?"

Su Jinyue asked Xiaotao to take all the maids and servants out to avoid any other trouble in the yard.

At this moment, Su Chengjiang also arrived. Seeing this, he quickly stepped forward to support Su Jingnian, "Brother, stop making trouble."

"Cheng Jiang! You come to stop me too?" Su Jingnian widened his eyes and looked at his brother in disbelief.

"We are doing this for your own good. It will not benefit anyone if you continue to make trouble like this." Su Chengjiang advised earnestly.

"I don't need it!" Su Jingnian pushed Su Chengjiang away angrily, "I just want to see Yao'er!"

Su Jinyue said calmly at this time, "Brother, if you continue like this, you will really be expelled from the Marquis' Mansion."

Although her words were calm, they caused the courtyard to be quiet for a moment.

Su Jingnian was stunned, and then he looked at Su Jinyue with endless malice in his eyes, "Su Jinyue!"

"This is your purpose! You want to drive Yao'er and me out of the mansion. You want to destroy our Ningyuan Manor!!"

Su Jinyue looked at him coldly, "It's you who is going to destroy the Marquis' Mansion."

Su Jingnian was silent for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter, with a hint of despair in his laughter.

"Hahaha! What a shame! I ruined it. I have fallen to this point."
