章 11: 011: This is the child of the Su Family
Madame laughed, and her final gaze fell on Su Xinyi, who had been sitting there quietly and peacefully since she entered, with bright and steady eyes, standing straight, completely different from the cautious and timid girl when she first entered the mansion.
This was the child of their Su family!
"Xin Yi fell into the water and suffered grievances this time. I have asked Mrs. Yu to get some nourishing herbs from the storeroom and send them to the kitchen so they can make you some soup," said the old lady.
Su Xinyi was surprised by this and stood up saying to her grandmother, "Thank you, grandmother, for caring for your granddaughter."
Looking at Su Xinyi's well-behaved appearance, the old lady sighed and said, "You can rest well and don't have to come and greet me for a few days."
Su Xinyi looked at the old lady with curiosity, but she obediently agreed.
In her previous life, the old lady had always maintained a detached attitude towards her, neither liking nor disliking her. Only a few years after she got married, the old lady fell ill and decided to divide the family properties while she was still conscious.
During the division, there was some unhappiness because of her father's businesses. Although she had married out, her parents had no male heirs to continue their family name, so the other wives insisted on taking a larger share of their family's properties.
She didn't really care about those things, but her mother disagreed. Knowing that her daughter was having a hard time in the Pingjing Prince Mansion, she wanted her to have more money and caused a big fuss. In the end, the old lady, with great determination, gave her most of their properties, and left a small portion for the other three wives to share.
Perhaps the turmoil helped the old lady to recover, and she remained in good health until her death.
Su Xinyi lay in her bed, staring at the embroidered peonies on the canopy. Today, the old lady had cared for her health and allowed her to rest for a few days before greeting her again. Was this considered concern?
In her previous life, because of the incident of her falling into the water, her reputation was damaged, which led to the Duke Mansion being criticized. She could understand why the old lady did not like her back then.
So, in this life, she had avoided this pitfall, and the Duke Mansion was not implicated in it. Consequently, the old lady's attitude towards her had changed as well.
Regardless, Su Xinyi felt that this was a good start.
Even the sarcastic Third Wife, the scheming First Wife, and the prudent Second Wife had supported her in the past, despite not being very close to her.
Given a second chance at life, she naturally wanted to live even better, make up for past regrets, and repay those who had been kind to her.
With that thought in mind, she suddenly remembered something and sat up abruptly, almost forgetting about it.
She had once overheard Princess Pingjing telling Princess Guangping, "What's the use of the Gao's proud and lofty spirit? A single forged letter was enough to make His Majesty doubt Gao Guangrong. It's a pity that His Majesty remembered their past friendship and allowed him to return to his hometown in glory. But that was enough, as long as the Gao family was no longer in the capital to hinder their plans. Without the support of their maternal family, how could Fourth Mrs. Su protect Su Xinyi?"
The Gao family was her mother's family and had cared for and spoken up for her several times. Su Xinyi was very grateful to the Gao family in her heart. However, she was already struggling in the Pingjing Prince Mansion and had no idea that Gao Yihua had been schemed against by others.
In the final analysis, it was she who brought trouble to the Gao family.
The reason Su Xinyi burned down the Pingjing Prince Mansion in her previous life and annihilated everyone in it was an act of uncontrollable hatred.
So now that she had come back to life, she absolutely could not let the Gao family fall into such a situation again because of her.
