Rebirth is not a dream.

After Qin Yi left, Su Yue called Qiu Zhu to ask her about Qin Yi's concubine.

"Zhu Zi, what's going on between Aunt Cheng and Concubine Zhang?"

"Miss, my name is Qiuzhu, not Bamboo." Qiuzhu was unhappy and muttered in a low voice.

Su Yue smiled and said, "Of all the girls and wives in this yard, you are the tallest and thinnest, just like a bamboo pole. Calling you Bamboo is also a nickname. Do you know what a nickname is?"

Ever since this young lady had a near-death experience, she has fallen in love with giving people nicknames. The good little peach has become a peach, and poor Qiuzhu has to be called a bamboo too. What kind of thing is this? Qiuzhu was indignant, but she dared not say anything.

Su Yue looked at Qiu Zhu who was pouting and soothed her, "Okay, if you don't like it, just don't call me that, my good Zhu." Qiu Zhu stomped her feet in frustration, her eyes wide open, and looked at Su Yue who was laughing so hard and had no demeanor of a lady at all.

Su Yue suppressed her laughter and asked, "Okay, then what's going on with Aunt Cheng, Concubine Zhang, and the two children?"

"Miss, you really can't remember anything at all?" Qiu Zhu asked doubtfully.

"I can't remember, I really don't have any impression!" Su Yue muttered to herself, trying hard to search for images of Aunt Cheng and Concubine Zhang in her mind, but the result disappointed her. It was very unclear, with only some vague impressions.

Su Yue felt very helpless. Others who traveled through time and space were blessed with all kinds of cheats, either with supernatural powers, space, or systems, but what about herself? Not only did she have nothing, but she also had such a bad memory and blackouts! What kind of thing was this!

She couldn't help but think of the time-travel novels she had read before, where the heroines were all extremely powerful and could easily navigate the ancient world. But she was so miserable, not only did she not have any advantages, but she also had to face such a difficult situation.

But complaining is enough, life must go on. Su Yue took a deep breath and told herself: Since I have come to this era and become my current identity, I will make the best of it! Although the current situation is difficult, as long as I work hard, I believe I will be able to slowly adapt and change the status quo. Come on, old aunt!

Su Yue listened carefully to Qiu Zhu telling her about Qin Yi's two women, a concubine and a maid. In addition, there was a concubine's son and a concubine's daughter. According to common sense, in aristocratic families, if the wife has not given birth to a legitimate son, but already has concubines' children, this situation is usually considered not decent enough. So, what is the matter with this An Ning Marquis's Mansion?

Qiu Zhu couldn't explain the specific situation. Because the Marquis's wife issued a strict order, prohibiting anyone from discussing the matter. And this Aunt Cheng was the niece of the Second Madam's family, the Weiguo Marquis's Mansion, but she was just a concubine's daughter. Surprisingly, the Weiguo Marquis's Mansion was also despised among the aristocratic families. Their family had only legitimate sons for three consecutive generations, but no legitimate daughters, and even no concubine sons. All the dozen girls in the Weiguo Marquis's Mansion were born out of wedlock.

Such a background is really curious, and it seems to hide many unknown stories and secrets. Su Yue couldn't help but start thinking about these complicated relationships and the power struggles and conflicts of interest behind them. Perhaps, in order to truly understand the reasons, further in-depth investigation and observation are needed, but this is none of her business, so there is no need to think too much.

Just a few days after the anniversary of the death of the old Duke, the second wife's niece Cheng Yingzhi came to stay at the Marquis' Mansion. At this time, the relatives of the family had not yet left, and the mansion was crowded with people, so it was inevitable that there would be omissions. It is said that on August 15, the youngest son Xu Shen of the old Duke's sister Lian Gu's family, as well as the second and third young masters, drank in the study room in the front yard, and they all drank too much. I don't know why Miss Cheng went there to deliver sobering soup, and then fainted on the ground. The next morning, she woke up in panic and fled back to the Weiguo Marquis' Mansion without saying a word about it. However, three months later, she found out that she was pregnant. So, the second wife Cheng took people to find the Marquis's wife, and finally, for some reason, Cheng Yingzhi became the aunt of the third young master.

No one in the mansion knew about this, and Qiu Zhu relied on his martial arts to secretly find out. The Third Young Master was almost expelled from the academy because of this incident, but fortunately the old lady couldn't stand it and asked Wen Daru to help guarantee him, so he was able to participate in the imperial examination. This mess is really puzzling. But Cheng Yingzhi is really amazing. If it were someone else, if they encountered such a thing, they would have died or lost a layer of skin, but she turned into the Third Young Master's concubine.

Why did the three men in the study room want to frame the third young master? Could it be that the third young master was not his biological son? The reason behind this is really puzzling. I don’t know what benefits the Marquis’s family got that they even ignored their son’s future. If there was DNA identification technology, things wouldn’t be so confusing.

"Do the two young masters of the Qin family know about this? And does the young master of Aunt Lian know about this?" Su Yue questioned Qiu Zhu. Su Yue felt that Xu Shen's questions were endless, and based on her intuition alone, she dared to assert that this person must be up to something.

Qiu Zhu replied, "I really don't know. Madam Hou strictly forbids others to talk about this matter. Maybe the young master of the Xu family is still unaware of it. The Xu family is only a sixth-rank official now, and holds an idle position in the Guanglu Temple. If they knew that they could get married to the Duke of Weiguo, how could they easily miss such a good opportunity?" Su Yue thought, maybe the Cheng family looked down on Xu Shen, otherwise if there was a chance for their daughter to become a wife, how could they be willing to let her become a concubine? What's more, this kind of shameful thing that cannot be seen in the light can only be done secretly. This third young master is really able to endure it.

Su Yue asked again: "What about the concubine Zhang? She has a child, why is she not given the title of concubine?" Qiu Zhu blushed before she could answer. Seeing her shy look, Su Yue scolded her: "Tell me, people who do this don't feel embarrassed, why are you shy?"

Qiu Zhu: "Well, that Concubine Zhang was originally a maid of Aunt Cheng. During the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, Aunt Cheng tried to seduce the Third Young Master but failed. Two months later, I don't know where Aunt Cheng got the love potion from and gave it to the Third Young Master. But somehow, it was Concubine Zhang who succeeded. I heard that both Concubine Zhang and the Third Young Master were injured at the time. I don't know how much medicine Aunt Cheng gave them. After this incident, everyone in Aunt Cheng's yard was beaten to death."

Su Yue thought, this concubine is really not simple. She was not beaten to death and gave birth to a child smoothly. Obviously, she is not an easy person to deal with. She seems to be submissive on the surface, but in fact, she may be a ruthless character. Su Yue thought that Aunt Cheng came to see her just now, and she must have something to do. It's a pity that she didn't give her a chance to speak. This is troublesome, and I'm afraid there will be more troubles in the future. Su Yue couldn't help feeling irritated, it was really annoying!

Although this mansion looks full of flowers and splendor, it is really not a place for human beings to stay. We have to find a way to leave, otherwise we might die without knowing how.
