Rebirth is not a dream.

Qin Yi left Yunxiao Courtyard and walked straight towards the study in the front yard. When he passed by Yueting, he caught a glimpse of Cheng Yingzhi standing there, waiting for his arrival. However, Qin Yi seemed to ignore her and passed by her without stopping.

Aunt Cheng saw this and hurriedly called out to him, "Third Young Master, I am here to pay my respects to you."

Qin Yi really didn't want to see Aunt Cheng's face again, because what happened that year had always bothered him. Although he was drunk at the time, he knew better than anyone whether the lovemaking had really happened.

However, what made Qin Yi feel sad was that his mother actually abandoned him without hesitation for the sake of his second brother's future. Not only that, she even forced him to admit it without consulting Xu Shen and his second brother. It was really ridiculous! Wei Guohou looked down on Xu Shen and insisted on choosing one person between Qin Yi and his second brother to take charge of this matter.

However, what about his so-called parents? All they thought about was the reputation of the Anning Marquisate and his second brother's future career. For these reasons, they decided to abandon him without hesitation, completely disregarding his feelings and situation. It was as if he was a dispensable existence, and even if he could no longer enter the Imperial College to study, it was of no importance to the entire family. This indifference and selfishness made him feel extremely chilled.

At this point, the so-called truth has become irrelevant. This matter is like a thorn that has penetrated deeply into Qin Yi's heart, hurting him all the time, reminding him of the injustice and humiliation he has suffered. Whenever he thinks of this, Qin Yi feels extremely heavy, as if a heavy burden is pressing on him, making him breathless.

Aunt Cheng's eyes were filled with tears, and she choked up as she said, "I know that I feel guilty towards the Third Young Master, but I can do nothing about it. I just don't want to die. I only hope that I can serve the Third Young Master wholeheartedly for the rest of my life."

Qin Yi had a cold expression on his face and replied stiffly, "No need, just live your life well."

Aunt Cheng burst into tears and sobbed, "I understand that the Third Young Master would rather have Zhang Huaer (Concubine Zhang) than me, but this is not what I want."

Qin Yi frowned impatiently and scolded: "What on earth do you want? If it's just this matter, don't mention it again. The Marquis's Mansion has enough food for you and your daughter, but don't even think about asking for anything else."

Aunt Cheng waved her hands hurriedly and whispered, "No, I want to talk about the Third Young Madam falling into the water. Why don't we go to my courtyard and talk in detail?"

Qin Yi decisively refused: "No need, follow me to the study."

Qin Yi walked into the study first, followed by Aunt Cheng. After she closed the door, Qin Yi turned around and looked at her coldly, "Go ahead." Aunt Cheng took a deep breath and said softly, "Third Young Master, I think there is something fishy about this. I heard that before the Third Young Madam's accident, Xiao Cui from the Third Young Madam's courtyard had met Han Qi from the Second Master's courtyard."

Qin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Who is this Han Qi? Stop talking nonsense."

Aunt Cheng quickly shook her head, "I have absolutely no such intention, I am just discussing the matter at hand."

Qin Yi's heart sank. This matter was complicated. He frowned and fell into deep thought.

Aunt Cheng saw that he was silent and continued, "Perhaps, we can look for clues from Han Qi and Xiao Cui..."

Qin Yi was silent for a moment, "I understand, you go back first." He secretly decided in his heart that he must get to the bottom of the matter.

Qin Yi called Jiang Yuan and said, "Go check on Han Qi from the Second Master Courtyard and Xiao Cui from the Yunxiao Courtyard."

Aunt Cheng stepped out of the study, her heart was filled with resentment, as if there was a raging fire burning. That Qin Yi was simply a piece of hard stone, no matter how hard she tried, she could not soften his heart. In this mansion, if she wanted to consolidate her position, she had to rely on him. And that Su Yue, who was just a humble merchant's daughter, actually wanted to surpass herself, the eldest lady of the Weiguo Marquisate. It was really abominable! She was like an annoying fly, disgusting. The fact that she failed last time did not mean that she would always be lucky, and anyone who hindered her should disappear without a trace.

What's more, she has her aunt, a powerful person, as her solid and reliable backing, who can give her great support and help. When Cheng Yingzhi thought of this, she felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw, and a surge of hope suddenly surged in her heart. So, she hurriedly called Yu Mama, pulled her aside, and whispered to her in detail some important matters.

Cheng Yingzhi's expression was serious and earnest, and her words were full of anxiety and concern. She carefully explained the situation to Yu Mama and emphasized the importance and urgency of the letter. She repeatedly told Yu Mama to personally hand the letter to her aunt without any mistakes or omissions.

Finally, Cheng Yingzhi reminded Yu Ma again that she must be careful and keep the secret to ensure that the letter can be delivered safely to the destination. She knew that this mission was of great importance and that if she was not careful, it might bring unpredictable consequences. Therefore, she hoped that Yu Ma could live up to her mission and successfully complete this difficult task.

Great! This time, my aunt and I will definitely make Su Yue fall into the endless abyss of hell and let her never be reborn! Look at the timid Su Yue, trembling like a frightened little rabbit all day long. Cheng Yingzhi didn't even realize that the current Su Yue has been reborn and is completely different from her half a month ago. To have a chance of survival in such a large house, it really requires careful thinking and boldness. After just paying respects once, Wang Xinxuan keenly noticed the changes in Su Yue, but Cheng Yingzhi was still intoxicated by the inherent view of Su Yue in the past. Sure enough, the gap between this illegitimate daughter and the authentic eldest lady of aristocratic family is too big.

Cheng Yingzhi sat by the window, her lips slightly raised, her eyes gleaming with pride. She seemed to have seen the reaction of the Second Madam after she had read the letter she had carefully written, and she secretly rejoiced in her heart.

In her fantasy, the second wife frowned and her face became solemn. She read every word carefully and gradually understood the game set by Cheng Yingzhi. This game was so ingeniously designed that people had to admire Cheng Yingzhi's scheming and wisdom.

Then, the second wife put the letter down and fell into deep thought. She knew the importance of this letter. If she acted according to the plan, Su Yue would suffer a great loss. She might be driven out of the house, or forced to go to the family temple to suffer. No matter what the result was, it would be a victory for Cheng Yingzhi.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yingzhi couldn't help laughing. She felt that she had finally found a way to completely defeat Su Yue, and this method would definitely work. From now on, Su Yue would no longer be a threat to her, and she would be able to move up a level in her family.

This feeling is so great! Cheng Yingzhi was immersed in her own joy and couldn't extricate herself. She was looking forward to the upcoming victory and couldn't wait to see Su Yue's miserable appearance. At that time, everyone would know who was the real strong one.
