The Noble Lady's Rebirth: She just wants to Rest in Peace!-Chapter 55: How Can It Be Just Resentment

Kong Tianru’s eyes glared like a venomous snake, causing Pianqiu to panic and fall to her knees.

"This servant spoke out of turn, I beg the young lady’s forgiveness."

"Get out." Kong Tianru suppressed the urge to throw things, growling in a low voice.

Pianqiu, as if granted amnesty, scrambled out of the Warm Pavilion.

Beside her, Yinchun dared not make a sound, not even daring to breathe loudly.

"Did you not hear me say get out?" Kong Tianru directed her anger towards Yinchun.

Yinchun quickly backed out.

Her heart was both bitter and resentful.

While at the manor, Madam instructed her to watch over the young lady’s every move, to prevent her from acting impulsively. Now, she was sent to accompany the young lady as part of her dowry; how could the young lady possibly welcome her?

Nanny Guan stood by, unmoving, "The young lady harbors anger but must still endure it, just as Madam said. Once the young lady gives birth to a legitimate grandson, the Old Madam’s displeasure will naturally subside. If the young lady causes a commotion here, it will only incur the Second Young Master’s displeasure. The priority now is to win back the Second Young Master’s affection."

Nanny Guan was also sent by Mrs. Gao to be by Kong Tianru’s side.

Last night, on the wedding night, nothing happened between the newlyweds, and Nanny Guan, being experienced, could see it at a glance.

"How could I not understand what Nanny says, but after the Old Madam shamed me like this, how am I to manage the servants in the courtyard in the future?" Kong Tianru’s eyes reddened, "The Second Young Master only blames me. Today, the Old Madam sent someone over, and he didn’t refuse, humiliating me like this. How could he be so heartless."

Saying this, Kong Tianru leaned on the small table and began to cry.

Nanny Guan frowned. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

How could she possibly comfort her?

For a man to have multiple wives and concubines was normal.

Sooner or later, there would be someone by the Second Young Master’s side.

The young lady can’t get over it now, simply because the Old Madam stationed someone next to the Second Young Master.

If more people gather around the Second Young Master in the future, will it always be like this?

Madam taught the young lady these household matters since she was young, so why doesn’t she understand?

Meanwhile, Wenxin, who was elevated to the position of concubine, sat blankly in the room, her mind lingering on the Marquis. But the Old Madam assigned her to the Second Young Master.

How could it be the Second Young Master?

Suyi opened the door and came in. Seeing her sitting on the couch in a daze, she sighed and walked over, "I know what you’re thinking. We’ve served the Old Madam for a long time, how could she not see your thoughts?"

"Then why did the Old Madam..." why did she insist on assigning her to the Second Young Master?

Wenxin couldn’t bring herself to ask.

But a chill settled in her heart.

The Old Madam saw through her intentions yet still appointed her to the Second Young Master, wasn’t it to ensure she remained in her place?

It was also indirectly telling her that as a servant, she should be content and not give rise to inappropriate ambitions.

Her heart longed for the Marquis, yet she would serve as a concubine to the Second Young Master. How could she possibly entertain thoughts of jealousy or rivalry?

Additionally, it served as a warning to other servants.

Wenxin shivered, biting her lower lip, and couldn’t help but lower her head and cry silently.

"Look at you, you’ve already figured it out, yet still act like this. If word reaches the Second Young Master’s ears, won’t you be neglected?" Suyi pulled a handkerchief and handed it to her, "Stop crying. The Old Madam asked me to bring you a set of attire, saying you should serve the Second Young Master well. Over the years, the Old Madam hasn’t been without affection for you. She has always cared for the Second Young Master, placing you by his side shows her trust in you."

"I understand, but I..." the thought of never again thinking of that person made Wenxin’s tears fall even more.

"Once you’re by the Second Young Master’s side, you must serve diligently. As for the Second Madam, she’s still young, don’t take her actions to heart. You should live your own life well. We, as servants, should have our loyalties solely to our master, and mustn’t engage in deceit or betrayal." Suyi knew well about Wenxin sending messages to the Marquis.

She understood Wenxin hoped to win favor with the Marquis, but forgot the Marquis was the Old Madam’s son.

Having committed this betrayal, how could the Marquis tolerate it?

Now being placed by the Second Young Master’s side is actually a good path, otherwise staying by the Old Madam’s side in the future might not last long.
