Chapter 503: The Femme Fatale in the Double Life Story (2)
After walking for a while, Su Yu stopped and looked back.
Lan Ying was curious: "What's wrong Miss? Was there something wrong with that person just now?"
Su Yu retracted her gaze and shook her head, "Nothing."
They soon arrived at the original owner's yard and sent Lan Ying out. Su Yu lay on the bed thinking.
The person I just met was the male protagonist. Thinking of the plot this time, Su Yu felt a headache.
It is known that this is a dual life story of a male and female protagonist:
In his previous life, Xie Qinglan married Su Yu, and they treated each other with respect and dignity.
Not long after, he passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, and was highly valued by the emperor. However, at the proudest moment of his life, he was betrayed by the woman next to him and lost his life due to a glass of poisoned wine. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back to the time before he married Su Yu.
Living his life over again, Xie Qinglan was furious and just wanted to find out why his wife did that.
In her previous life, Su Miaoer thought she had a good marriage, marrying into the Duke's Mansion, and everyone envied her. Unfortunately, only she knew what kind of life she was leading -
Her husband spent all day hanging out in brothels, keeping company with prostitutes. He brought concubines into the house one room after another, and the backyard was filled with smoke and chaos. As soon as she became pregnant, the concubine forced her to have a miscarriage, which ruined her health.
The concubine sister whom he looked down upon in the past married a good husband. Her brother-in-law was the top scholar chosen by the emperor and a new noble in the court. His backyard was clean and he didn't even have a connecting room. All the love and affection went to Su Yu alone.
Su Miaoer was unwilling to accept this, and after dying in depression, she found herself back to the time when she had not yet gotten married.
Living her life over again, Su Miaoer only wants to marry Xie Qinglan in place of her sister. She wants power and love.
The above is the original plot synopsis.
Su Yu pinched her brows: [So, the male and female protagonists are both reborn, what should I do? ]
Recalling the gloomy look he gave her when she first met Xie Qinglan, Su Yu shuddered, suspecting that Xie Qinglan must want to kill her for revenge.
System: [Host, just follow the plot of your previous life. The hero has just been reborn. He only knows that his death was caused by the cup of poisoned wine you gave him. He doesn’t know the specific reason. He is still guessing in his heart whether you have any difficulties or have been threatened by someone.]
Su Yu understood: [So I have to give him a cup of poisoned wine in this life, and reveal the truth about his murder, so that he knows that I am not innocent at all, so that he can see my true face and turn to the arms of the heroine? ]
System: [That’s about it. ]
So what is the truth?
Su Yu read the original plot from beginning to end, and after being surprised, she understood it.
After they separated, Xie Qinglan was also thinking about Su Yu.
"She... the Second Miss seemed to be feeling unwell just now."
Xie Qinglan knew that he shouldn't ask this question. Since the man was unmarried and the woman was unmarried, such a question was a bit beyond the rules after all, but Xie Qinglan asked it anyway.
The servant laughed awkwardly: "The Second Miss has always been in poor health, and she just came back from the Madam..."
Having said this, the servant suddenly fell silent.
His secretive attitude made people unable to help but think about what he said next.
Xie Qinglan frowned and thought deeply. In his previous life, he met Su Yu about half a month later. At that time, their engagement had already been finalized, and Su Yu had never acted in an embarrassed manner in front of him.
If he had not woken up today and found himself back in the past, and had not come to the Marquis' Mansion on impulse, he would not have seen her like this.
From what the servant said, Su Yu was not having a good time in the mansion.
I heard that in some wealthy families, the wife couldn't stand the concubines and illegitimate daughters, and it was not uncommon for her to look for opportunities to torture them, make them kneel, and set rules for them.
Xie Qinglan's heart ached suddenly.
In his previous life, he treated Su Yu very well, but at least he never let her suffer any injustice. How could he have expected that she would be living in such dire straits at home?
Just at this moment, the servant arrived at the study of Marquis Yongchang. He stopped and said to Xie Qinglan, "We are here. Mr. Xie, please go in. The Marquis is waiting for you inside."
Xie Qinglan collected his thoughts and nodded: "Thank you."
On the other side of the courtyard, Madam Hou gently blew the medicine to cool it down and carefully fed it to Su Miaoer.
A comatose person swallows unconsciously and breathes weakly.
Madam Tong stood by and waited, "Why did Madam let the Second Miss leave just now?"
The Marquis's wife looked cold and said, "It wasn't her who did it. I will punish her by making her kneel for a few hours. She looks like she's about to faint. If it gets out, people will say that I, as a legitimate mother, mistreated my concubine's daughter. How will the servants and the Marquis look at me?"
Madam Tong was puzzled: "How does Madam know that it wasn't the Second Miss who did it? When the First Miss fell into the water, there were only her and the Second Miss on the boat. Who else could it be if not the Second Miss?"
Madam Hou rolled her eyes in annoyance: "She doesn't have the guts."
How could a concubine's daughter who was raised to be weak and cowardly have the courage to murder her legitimate sister? If she really had that courage, she would not have been taken on the ship as a maid.
Thinking of this, Madam Hou glanced at the person on the bed and said, "Miao'er is too lawless."
Madam Tong flattered: "The eldest lady is the apple of your and the Marquis's eye, so she should be more unbridled. It's all because of the concubine and the servants who were not diligent. How can you blame the eldest lady?"
The lady glanced at her and said, "Just spoil her."
When the bowl of medicine was finished, Nanny Tong took the empty bowl out. The maid waiting outside took the tray, glanced at the empty bowl, her expression flickered, and she bowed her head and retreated respectfully.
That night, there was a commotion in Su Miaoer's courtyard, and all the court doctors gathered there.
Lan Ying applied medicine to Su Yu's knee: "Miss, the eldest lady has a fever."
Su Yu's expression remained calm: "Yeah."
Lan Ying was curious: "Are you unhappy?"
Su Yu said calmly, "I'm not dead yet, what's there to be happy about?"
Lan Ying hesitated: "Miss is right, but I don't think the young lady will be able to make it. It's October now and the lake water is freezing cold. The young lady has been soaking in the water for so long, plus with our medicine, I'm afraid..." It's very dangerous.
Su Yu didn't respond, and no one knew what she was thinking.
It is normal to have a fever after falling into the water, but the fever did not subside all night. Mrs. Hou was so worried that she could not sleep. She sat by the bed taking care of her daughter with dark circles under her eyes.
Marquis Yongchang stayed for an hour and then left, as he had to attend the morning court the next day.
"Madam, the candle over there at the second young lady's place has gone out." said Nanny Tong.
The Marquis's face darkened: "She slept soundly."
Aunt Tong: "Do you want me to bring the person over?"
After a few seconds of silence, the Marquis's wife remembered what the Marquis had said in the afternoon, closed her eyes and waved her hand: "Don't worry about her."
On the left and right are people who are about to get married.
The Marquis's wife gently touched her daughter's face. Her Miao'er would marry into the Duke's Mansion in the future and enjoy endless wealth and glory for the rest of her life. There was no need for her to bother with a concubine's daughter who was about to marry a poor scholar.
