Rebirth is not a dream.

Chapter 111 Returning Home

Su Yue stood quietly at the gate, anxiously waiting for the Marquis's wife and her group to come out. Other ladies also hurriedly led their wives and girls out, fearing that they would be involved in any bad rumors. At this moment, a lady in a smoky red dress opened the door. She was the wife of the Left Capital Censor Pei, who was famous for her love of gossip.

The young monk picked up a basin of water and poured it on the three people inside without hesitation, waking them up from their coma. These three guys are not ordinary people, they are well-known devils in the capital! One of them is Cheng Yu, the third young master of Weiguo Marquis Mansion, and the other two are Yuan Huan of Changyuan Marquis Mansion and Jia Xin of Qule Marquis Mansion. Yuan Huan and Jia Xin are notorious, and I don’t know how many maids and servants they have killed. The second wife never thought that her nephew was among them! She was furious. Cheng Yu didn’t study hard all day, but he was with these dandies. It was ridiculous!

Although I had heard that Cheng Yu would visit brothels and listen to ditties, he had not done anything too outrageous. Who could have expected that he would follow this group of second-generation rich people to the temple and do whatever he wanted! At this moment, the second wife was filled with anger and anxiety. She was so angry that she could hardly breathe and fainted in her excitement! Qin Yun was shocked to see his mother faint suddenly. He hurriedly carried the second wife back to the meditation room with the maids and the old women. This shameful thing not only made the second wife lose face, but also brought shame to the entire An Ning Marquis's Mansion.

They hurried back to the courtyard where the old lady was. Originally, everyone came to the temple to relax and pray for blessings happily, but now they lost interest because of this farce. Everyone had a frustrated and embarrassed look on their faces, and they were in a heavy mood. So, everyone quietly packed up their luggage and went down the mountain to return home. Along the way, no one spoke, only silence and depression filled the air. This journey, which was supposed to be a pleasant one, ended in such an ignominious way, making everyone feel helpless and disappointed.

When Su Yue and her group arrived at the mountain gate, the Lu family's carriage was still there. When Mrs. Lu saw the visitors from An Ning Marquis's Mansion, she immediately got off the carriage and walked towards the old lady, saying, "Thank you, old lady. I was originally planning to go to your yard to say goodbye to you, but it happened that someone from your house came. I wonder if the health of your second wife has improved? We will visit you again in the future." The old lady responded, "Mrs. Lu is too polite. Our two families are relatives. You are welcome to visit at any time."

Then, Madam Lu moved to the side of the Marquis and said to her in a low voice: "Sister, your mansion really needs to be renovated. In the past, you were not like this. Did you become stupid because of the years of mourning?" The Marquis's face was gloomy after hearing this. She did not answer, but bowed to Madam Lu and sent her to the carriage. Then, everyone in the Marquis's mansion also got on their own carriages and set off on their journey home.

After returning to the Marquis's Mansion, the old lady summoned everyone to Chunhui Courtyard and asked the maids and servants to leave, leaving only the masters in the mansion. The old lady looked at everyone and said, "Okay, now you all tell me what happened in the temple's meditation room this morning?"

The Second Madam stood up quickly and explained, "Old Madam, this is what happened. Early this morning, we found that the Third Niece's wife was missing. The Fifth Girl was worried that something had happened to her, so she went to look for her. But after going several times, no one responded to the knocks on the door. Everyone became worried and thought that the Third Niece's wife had an accident, so they decided to break in to see what was going on. Who knew that the Third Niece's wife had already moved to a new meditation room? This was a complete misunderstanding!"

Hearing the second wife's words, Su Yue and the eldest young lady looked at each other. Su Yue said softly, "Last night, I felt that the bamboo forest outside the meditation room was a little gloomy and uncomfortable. It happened that there was an empty meditation room at my sister-in-law's place, so I asked the little monk to change to another one. Maybe it was because I didn't sleep well last night, and I fell asleep until almost dawn, and ended up getting up late. I didn't expect to make everyone so worried, I'm really sorry."

The eldest young lady also said, "Yes, mother-in-law, Sister Su Yue missed the event because she didn't get enough rest last night. Please don't blame her."

Wang Xinxuan was aware of Su Yue's change of room, but Su Yue didn't know whether she got up late like herself and didn't meet Hou Fu and others, or whether she did so on purpose.

Qin Yun looked at Su Yue, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said sarcastically: "Why is it difficult for Third Sister-in-law to fall asleep? Could it be that she knew that thieves were going to break into this temple?"

Su Yue stared at Qin Yun, thinking to herself, in the past, she thought Qin Jiaojiao was a bit willful and indulgent, but now, she felt that Qin Yun was both vicious and extremely stupid! Before anyone raised any questions, she was already confused.

Su Yue responded calmly: "Fifth sister, are you hinting that I know those three obscene people? Do you think I invited them here?

Aunt Cheng took the opportunity to interrupt and asked, "Does Sister know something about this? Why did you change rooms for no reason?"

Su Yue's eyes turned cold, and she retorted, "If you don't like it, just change it. Aunt Cheng, don't you think it's a pity that I can't live in the same room with those three rapists?"

Su Yue had forgotten that there was such a person - Aunt Cheng. She had thought that she would be more restrained and behave herself after returning from the farm, but she didn't expect that this matter might also be related to her. You know, one of the three lewd men was a bastard of the Cheng family. Is this just a coincidence? I wonder how much the second wife knows about this matter.

Aunt Cheng said hurriedly: "I have absolutely no such intention."

The old lady glared at Aunt Cheng fiercely, then turned to look at Qin Yun and said in a deep voice, "Fifth girl, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing the old lady's gloomy face, Qin Yun couldn't help but feel afraid, and whispered: "It was my cousin from the Lu family who said that she was worried about whether something might happen to my third sister-in-law. The location of that meditation room is relatively remote. If something really happened, I'm afraid none of us would know. So I went to find my aunt and mother to check it out. Who could have expected it to turn out like this..."

The old lady asked again: "Then how did the wives of the officials from the noble families get there?"

Qin Yun replied: "Grandma, Yun'er really doesn't know about this matter!"

The old lady nodded and said in a gentle tone, "Yes, that's how it is. Fifth girl doesn't have the steadiness of a lady from a wealthy family. She panics when things happen. Go back and copy the "Female Rules" a hundred times. Second Madam, you didn't teach your daughter well. Go back and reflect on it. However, in the future, when you encounter such things, you should first clarify the situation to avoid unnecessary trouble. Okay, I'm tired too. You all go back."

There was a lot of thunder but little rain. Su Yue thought that the old lady was going to do something and was just trying to warn everyone. Yes, she, Su Yue, did not suffer any substantial harm. It was just that she really saw the three of them, the master and the servant, in the Zen room this morning. She was afraid that she might have died of a serious illness.

Everyone nodded, indicating that they understood the old lady's intention. The storm finally subsided, and everyone dispersed. Su Yue glanced at the old lady who entered the inner room, and let it go. She thought that it was because she was the daughter of Princess Ming Zhao, and the old lady's explanation was an explanation. If she was still the daughter of a merchant, the old lady would probably not give any explanation, right?

Not long after Su Yue returned to Yunxiao Courtyard, Haitang, the head maidservant beside the old lady, came over with a set of jewelry and said, "Third Young Madam, I hope you are well. The old lady saw that she was not wearing any jewelry, so she specially gave her a set of head jewelry."

Su Yue smiled and said, "Thank you, grandma. I will go to see you later."

Taozi took the box from Haitang, gave her a purse, and sent her out with a smile.

Su Yue asked Taozi to put the box away. She didn't want to think about the dirty things in the mansion. She wanted to find something she could do. Otherwise, if she was trapped in this inner house for a long time, she would be like the second wife, always thinking about scheming others. Su Yue would sleep first, tomorrow is a new day.
