Rebirth is not a dream.

Su Yue and He Bijun were doing the accounting in the study together. In front of them were several thick account books, which were densely filled with various data and transaction information. Su Yue looked at the account books and carefully calculated each income and expenditure with a pen. She frowned and showed a trace of fatigue on her face. He Bijun sat aside, watching Su Yue work quietly, and from time to time helped her correct some mistakes or made some suggestions.

Just then, Taozi knocked on the door gently, walked in and said, "Princess, Yanyan is here with Miss Yaoyao." Hearing this news, Su Yue looked up, with a flash of surprise in her eyes. She hadn't seen Zhang Yanyan for a while since Fubao's accident. Moreover, she also knew that some things could not be completely blamed on Zhang Yanyan, but she always felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Although Zhang Yanyan didn't necessarily need to tell all the secrets to herself, she knew that Fubao was not the child of the Qin family, but she didn't reveal anything, and didn't even give Su Yue a hint. This behavior made Su Yue disappointed and dissatisfied, and she could no longer let Zhang Yanyan hang around under her nose like before.

However, Su Yue still loved Yaoyao very much. She put down the account book in her hand and said with a smile: "Take them to the side hall."

As she spoke, Su Yue handed all the account books to He Bijun and said gratefully, "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Bijun." He Bijun took the account books, smiled and nodded, indicating that she would complete the task as soon as possible.

He Bijun smiled and said, "Princess, go and see Yaoyao. You haven't paid much attention to her in the past month. The little girl must be missing you."

Su Yue summoned Zhang Yanyan to the side hall. Zhang Yanyan thought that Su Yue would be unwilling to see her just like last time. Unexpectedly, Su Yue was willing to see her. She hurried forward to greet him and said, "Your servant, I am here to see the princess."

Zhang Yanyan was a little uneasy, after all, there were some unpleasant things that happened between her and Su Yue before. She was still surprised to see Su Yue again this time.

When Su Yue saw Zhang Yanyan, she couldn't help but think of everything that had happened before.

It turned out that since Su Yue became a princess, Zhang Yanyan's status in the Marquis's mansion had plummeted. The other maids began to mock her and even deliberately make things difficult for her. The Marquis's wife and the young ladies ignored her, as if they had forgotten that they once got along well.

Su Yue looked at Zhang Yanyan for a while, feeling a little complicated, and said, "Get up, I don't need you to come and pay your respects here, and you are just a concubine, not a concubine, so you don't need to pay your respects, and it's not in accordance with the rules."

Zhang Yanyan replied respectfully: "Yes, I have noted it, but the young lady wants to come and see her mother."

Su Yue frowned slightly, thinking that this little child was really sensible, but then she said, "Then leave the young lady with me. You can't raise the child yourself anyway."

Zhang Yanyan nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I will have someone send all the young lady's things over right away."

Su Yue looked at Zhang Yanyan, who was lowering her head and looking docile, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Should she say that she was weak and helpless and had no choice but to accept reality? Or should she say that she was cold and heartless and didn't care about her children? Or was it that the rules of this era were so cruel that she had already accepted her fate? Su Yue couldn't be sure of the answer, and she just felt heavy in her heart. She didn't know whether she should sigh at the injustice of this world or be angry at these women's incompetence. However, she also understood that with her current identity and status, what could she change? If she did too much, people would think she was weak and could be bullied.

Su Yue looked at Zhang Yanyan's face full of reluctance, and she understood a little bit in her heart, so she said coldly: "Okay, this princess is tired and needs to rest, you can leave first!" After that, she turned around and went back to her room. Zhang Yanyan looked at Su Yue's leaving back, with a trace of reluctance and grievance on her face, but she still gritted her teeth and followed.

Zhang Yanyan's face became paler and paler, and even her voice began to tremble. She said to Su Yue tremblingly: "Princess, I really don't have the courage to serve the third young master. I'm so scared..." Su Yue couldn't help but wonder, as the young master's concubine, Zhang Yanyan didn't serve her husband, but came to serve her, the young mistress, every day? The reason for this is really puzzling. Is Zhang Yanyan really afraid of Qin Yi? Su Yue couldn't understand it for a while. After all, Qin Yi has a beautiful face, like a delicate flower, and what's more rare is that he also has a masculine temperament. With such looks and temperament, how could Zhang Yanyan be afraid? Does Qin Yi really look that scary?

Seeing that Su Yue did not give in, Zhang Yanyan thought that Su Yue still wanted her to serve the Third Young Master, and she could not help but feel fear and resistance. She thought that what Su Yue meant by serving was to warm the man's bed, and this kind of thing was really unacceptable to her. However, in fact, the service that Su Yue had in mind was completely different from Zhang Yanyan's understanding. For Su Yue, serving only meant taking care of and serving, and there was no other meaning. However, due to the huge misunderstanding between the two, the two sides could not reach a consensus.

At the same time, Zhang Yanyan's thoughts became more and more radical. She equated serving with going to bed, and was full of fear and disgust for this behavior. She felt that she was treated unfairly, and even doubted whether Su Yue deliberately put her in such a situation. Therefore, she crawled forward again, kowtowed to Su Yue and begged for mercy, saying that she would never sleep with the third young master. She was afraid of being forced to do something against her will, and hoped to get Su Yue's sympathy and understanding.

Faced with Zhang Yanyan's excited reaction, Su Yue felt very helpless and speechless. She realized that the misunderstanding between them was already deep, and further explanation was needed to solve the problem. So she tried to stay calm and tried to ask Zhang Yanyan in a gentle tone whether she was willing to serve tea and water to the third young master. After all, this job is relatively simple, and maybe it will allow Zhang Yanyan to gradually adapt. However, Su Yue did not realize that her inquiry aggravated Zhang Yanyan's inner uneasiness. In Zhang Yanyan's view, Su Yue seemed to still insist that she serve the third young master, which made her feel desperate and helpless. She felt that she was in an inescapable dilemma, and could only keep kowtowing and begging Su Yue to let her go.

This misunderstanding triggered a series of contradictions and conflicts, but as long as both parties can be honest with each other and sit down to communicate properly, perhaps they can eliminate the barriers between each other and find a solution to the problem. Unfortunately, at this moment, Su Yue and Zhang Yanyan failed to truly understand each other's intentions, making the situation even more chaotic.

Zhang Yanyan said with a look of fear: "As long as I am within three feet of the Third Young Master, I will feel extremely scared..."

Su Yue looked at Zhang Yanyan in front of her, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond. She thought, is this the sequelae of being raped? Is Zhang Yanyan afraid of men from now on? Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked in a cold tone: "What are you going to do? Leave the mansion and go home?"

When Zhang Yanyan heard this, she was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and kowtowed, crying, "I am homeless!"

Su Yue sighed helplessly and continued to ask: "Then what do you want?"

Zhang Yanyan remained silent, just kneeling on the ground with her head down, like a frightened rabbit.

Su Yue really couldn't figure out her thoughts, and couldn't help asking again: "Who is the master between us? What do you want?" Zhang Yanyan replied in horror: "I don't have any other ideas, I just hope that the princess will not ignore me."

After Su Yue heard this, she felt puzzled. She thought she had never treated Zhang Yanyan badly, but why was she so cautious and trembling? She really couldn't understand this behavior. After all, the two lived in different times and had very different ways of thinking. However, no matter how Su Yue thought about it, she could never see through Zhang Yanyan's inner world.

Su Yue finally managed to appease Zhang Yanyan. She really couldn't understand how she, as a master, had to appease the feelings of her little concubine. She was speechless.
