Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 124 Su Yue's Confession, Choosing Forgiveness

As urgent military intelligence arrived from the frontier, a minor disturbance stirred up within the Marquis's residence. Su Yue, the woman who had previously been at odds with Su Jinxiu and had repeatedly sabotaged her, was now in dire straits.

Su Yue, misled by others, participated in a conspiracy against the Marquis's mansion, leading to her disgrace and ruin. She lost the support of her family, and her former friends avoided her.

"What should I do? I have nowhere else to go." Su Yue huddled in a dilapidated house, her face haggard, her eyes filled with despair and regret.

After a period of inner struggle, Su Yue decided to apologize to Su Jinxiu.

She dragged her heavy steps to the gate of the Marquis's residence and asked to see Su Jinxiu.

"Madam, Su Yue is requesting an audience outside the door," the maid reported to Su Jinxiu.

Su Jinxiu was slightly taken aback. Recalling Su Yue's past actions, she couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

"Let her in." In the end, Su Jinxiu decided to see her.

Su Yue entered the room and knelt down in front of Su Jinxiu with a thud.

"Jinxiu, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong." Su Yue sobbed uncontrollably.

Looking at the disheveled Su Yue in front of her, Su Jinxiu felt a mix of emotions.

"Get up and speak." Su Jinxiu's tone was calm, but her eyes revealed a hint of indifference.

Su Yue didn't dare to get up and continued to sob about her mistakes.

"I was blinded by jealousy and did many things that wronged you. Now that I am abandoned by everyone, I realize how foolish I was."

Su Jinxiu sighed: "If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."

Su Yue raised her head, her eyes full of pleading: "Jinxiu, please forgive me and give me a chance to start anew."

Su Jinxiu was silent for a moment, then said, "I can forgive you, but you must sincerely repent and not make the same mistake again."

Su Yue nodded repeatedly: "I will definitely do it, and I will follow your lead from now on."

Just then, Xiao Ling walked in.

"What happened?" Xiao Ling asked.

Su Jinxiu told him about Su Yue's confession.

Xiao Ling frowned: "Is this person trustworthy?"

Su Jinxiu said, "Let's observe for a while longer."

However, just as the Marquis's mansion was preparing to deal with the military situation on the frontier, Su Yue found herself in trouble once again...

Looking at Su Yue kneeling on the ground, her face streaked with tears, Su Jinxiu was filled with mixed emotions. Su Yue's past misdeeds flashed through her mind, yet seeing Su Yue's current wretched and remorseful state, a trace of pity ultimately welled up within her.

"Get up, Su Yue," Su Jinxiu said slowly.

Su Yue looked up, her eyes filled with surprise and gratitude: "Jinxiu, are you really willing to forgive me?"

Su Jinxiu sighed softly: "I don't forgive your mistakes easily, but I hope you can sincerely repent and not do unjust things again."

Su Yue nodded quickly: "I will definitely turn over a new leaf and start anew."

Xiao Ling watched from the side, his brows furrowing slightly: "Jinxiu, isn't this too risky of you? She has tried to harm you many times before, how can you trust her so easily?"

Su Jinxiu held Xiao Ling's hand: "Husband, no one is perfect. If we give her a chance to correct her mistakes, it would be a good thing."

Seeing that Su Jinxiu had made up her mind, Xiao Ling said no more.

To prove her resolve, Su Yue began to take the initiative in serving the Marquis's household. She helped manage the household affairs and no longer treated the servants with arrogance.

"Madam, Su Yue has been quite diligent these past few days and hasn't shown any unusual behavior," the maid reported to Su Jinxiu.

Su Jinxiu nodded: "Continue to observe."

However, just as everyone was gradually lowering their guard against Su Yue, an unexpected incident occurred.

A batch of important supplies belonging to the Marquis's residence suddenly disappeared during transportation, and Su Yue was in charge of the matter.

"What on earth is going on?" Xiao Ling shouted angrily.

Su Yue looked panicked: "I don't know either, I made sure everything was arranged perfectly."

Su Jinxiu's heart sank. Could it be that Su Yue had relapsed into her old ways?

"Search! We must retrieve the supplies," Xiao Ling ordered.

After some investigation, it was discovered that the crime was committed by a group of robbers.

"Could this really just be a coincidence?" Su Jinxiu was filled with doubt.

Just then, Su Yue stepped forward: "Let me go and negotiate with the bandits to get the supplies back."

Everyone was shocked, wondering whether her actions were genuine or part of a ulterior motive.

Ignoring everyone's attempts to stop her, Su Yue went to the bandits' den alone.

In the bandits' den, Su Yue, with her wisdom and courage, successfully persuaded the bandits to return the goods.

When she returned to the Marquis's residence with supplies, she was covered in wounds.

"I have not let Madam down," Su Yue said weakly.

Su Jinxiu looked at her, and a hint of relief finally appeared in her eyes.

However, the troubles of the Marquis's mansion were not over yet, and the situation in the court was becoming increasingly complex, with an even greater storm about to break...
