Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 5 Su Yue's Jealousy

Seeing Su Jinxiu stealing the spotlight, Su Yue was consumed by jealousy. Instigated by her mother, she decided to plot against Su Jinxiu, trying to ruin her image within the family and make her lose everyone's favor.

Su Yue and her daughter plotted in the room for a long time and finally came up with a sinister plan.

One day, the Marquis's residence held a charity event, inviting many celebrities from the capital to attend. Su Yue deliberately became very close to Su Jinxiu during the event, putting on an act of sisterly affection.

Halfway through the event, an impoverished elderly woman suddenly approached them for help. Su Jinxiu felt pity and was about to step forward to assist her when Su Yue intervened, grabbing the old woman's hand and saying tearfully, "Grandma, don't worry, my sister and I will definitely help you."

Then, Su Yue secretly gave a wink to the maid beside her, who then secretly slipped some valuable items from the Marquis's mansion into the old man's bundle.

As soon as the old man left the Marquis's residence, Su Yue immediately shouted, "Something terrible has happened! Something valuable has been stolen from the Marquis's residence, and that old man is a suspect!"

Everyone crowded around, and Su Yue looked at Su Jinxiu with an innocent expression: "Sister, what should we do?"

Su Jinxiu frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

Soon, the servants of the Marquis's mansion found the missing items in the old man's bundle. Su Yue seized the opportunity to say, "Sister, this old man was the first one you came into contact with, could it be..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear. All eyes turned to Su Jinxiu, and whispers began to circulate.

Su Jinxiu knew she had been framed. She calmly said, "There must be some misunderstanding. I believe the old man is not that kind of person."

Su Yue persisted, "Sister, why are you protecting him like this? Is there some hidden reason?"

Just as the situation reached a stalemate, Su Jinxiu's personal maid, Xiao Cui, stepped forward: "Miss, I just saw the Second Miss's maid secretly stuffing things into the old man's bundle."

Su Yue's expression changed: "You're talking nonsense!"

Xiao Cui replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "This servant saw it with my own eyes, and there is absolutely no falsehood in it."

At this moment, other maids also stepped forward to corroborate Xiao Cui's words. Su Yue and her daughter's conspiracy was exposed, and everyone cast contemptuous glances at them.

When the old lady learned of this, she severely reprimanded Su Yue and her daughter: "You are so narrow-minded and have framed Jinxiu. You have truly brought shame to the Marquis's mansion!"

Su Yue and her mother bowed their heads and admitted their mistake, but their jealousy and resentment towards Su Jinxiu only deepened.

After this incident, Su Jinxiu's prestige in the Marquis's mansion increased, while Su Yue was neglected by everyone.

However, Su Yue did not stop there. She came up with an even more vicious plan.

She learned that Su Jinxiu was preparing for a charity sale, so she secretly mixed some inferior counterfeit goods into the items for the sale.

On the day of the charity sale, a distinguished guest discovered a problem with the items and flew into a rage: "How could the Marquis's mansion deceive everyone like this, bringing these inferior goods to the charity sale!"

Su Jinxiu quickly stepped forward to apologize: "Jinxiu will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give everyone an explanation."

Su Yue fanned the flames from the side: "Sister, this was the charity sale you were in charge of. Now that this has happened, you can't shirk your responsibility."

Seeing Su Yue's smug expression, Su Jinxiu already understood a few things.

She immediately ordered the scene sealed off and began to check the items one by one. After some investigation, she finally discovered the counterfeit goods mixed in and found evidence that Su Yue had instructed her servants to do the deed.

Holding the evidence, Su Jinxiu exposed Su Yue's evil deeds in front of everyone: "Sister, why did you frame me like this?"

Su Yue was speechless and could only slump to the ground.

This incident caused Su Yue to completely lose the support of the Marquis's family, and even her mother was implicated and placed under house arrest by the old lady.

However, Su Jinxiu did not let her guard down. She knew that Su Yue and her daughter would not give up easily, and she had to be even more careful to deal with their next conspiracy.

At the same time, Su Jinxiu's position in the family became more and more secure. She began to reorganize the family affairs and won more support and respect.

Su Yue, on the other hand, sank deeper and deeper into the mire of jealousy and resentment, unable to extricate herself.
