Rebirth is not a dream.

Su Yue did not expect that, near the end of the year, the An Ning Marquisate actually planned to go to the temple to pray for blessings on the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month. She was very resistant in her heart, after all, the Spring Festival was approaching, and every household was extremely busy. Going to the temple to pray for blessings would take at least two days, and if things were slightly delayed, it might even take three days. Now, the end of the year is approaching, and she has to prepare the New Year gifts, consider the return gifts, and there are many banquets waiting for her to attend. In such cold weather, she really didn't want to go to the temple and suffer. However, everyone in the An Ning Marquisate had decided to go, and Su Yue was not in a position to raise any objections.

Although she was reluctant, Su Yue still had to start preparing for the blessing. She methodically ordered the servants to prepare a comfortable carriage and carefully pack the luggage. At the same time, she also specifically instructed the housekeeper to carefully prepare various precious gifts to ensure that everything was perfect.

On the morning of the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month, the wind was biting cold. Su Yue boarded the carriage with the careful help of her maids. Along the way, she prayed silently, hoping that this blessing trip would be safe and smooth. After a long and arduous day's journey, their convoy finally arrived at their destination - a solemn and ancient temple.

Su Yue got off the carriage and took a deep breath, feeling the tranquil atmosphere of the ancient temple. In the next two days, she participated in various ceremonies in the temple with everyone in the Marquis' Mansion. Although the weather was extremely cold and unbearable, she always maintained an elegant and dignified demeanor, showing a noble temperament.

Su Yue didn't expect that the Lu family also went to the temple to pray, and they went to the same temple as the An Ning Marquis Mansion. Su Yue saw Lu Anruo, looked at her and smiled and said, "Cousin is here too?"

Lu Anruo: "I haven't seen my cousin's wife for a long time. How are you doing?"

Su Yue: "It hasn't been long. Didn't we meet at the banquet a few days ago? Sister An Ruo doesn't remember it. Could it be that Sister An Ruo also hurt her head?"

Lu Anruo: "Does cousin-in-law dislike Anruo?"

Su Yue: "Sister An Ruo, who doesn't like you in Kyoto? How dare I not like you!"

"Since my cousin likes me, why did you speak so sarcastically just now?" Lu Anruo looked aggrieved and her eyes turned red instantly.

Su Yue sighed inwardly, this Lu Anruo is really good at pretending.

"Sister An Ruo, what are you talking about? I was just joking with you." Su Yue smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone.

Seeing this, people around came over to smooth things over.

"Okay, okay, we are all family, don't make things unpleasant because of a few words."

"That's right. The New Year is coming soon. It's better for everyone to be harmonious."

Su Yue remained calm on the surface, but secretly wondered in her heart, why is Lu Anruo so abnormal today? Is she trying to play some tricks again?

Su Yue made up her mind that no matter what Lu Anruo intended, she would be careful to deal with it. She turned around and said to everyone, "It's getting late, let's go and rest first."

Then, she walked to the side room surrounded by her maids. After entering the side room, Su Yue sat on the chair tiredly. She knew that in this deep courtyard, intrigue was commonplace. And she had to stay vigilant at all times to protect the safety of herself and her family. The next day, after the blessing ceremony, Su Yue was preparing to leave the temple.

Suddenly, she heard a noise behind her. Looking back, she saw several servants driving away a ragged old man. The old man knelt down and begged for mercy, which was unbearable. Su Yue felt pity and went forward to ask the reason. It turned out that the old man's grandson was seriously ill and had no money for treatment, so he could only come to the temple to pray for the blessing of the gods. Without saying a word, Su Yue took out some silver from the purse she carried with her and handed it to the old man. "Take this silver to treat the child." The old man was grateful and thanked her repeatedly. "Thank you, madam, thank you, madam..." Seeing this scene, the people around praised Su Yue's kindness.

After the blessing, Su Yue returned to the mansion with a tired body. She thought that although this blessing was hard, it was also a rare experience. She hoped that everything would go well in the coming year and the whole family would be healthy.

Su Yue originally thought that she would spend the New Year in her own princess residence this year, but unexpectedly, the old lady called Qin Yi to her side and said, "Yier, the New Year is coming soon. Do you two want to come back to the Marquis' residence to celebrate the New Year together?"

After Qin Yi heard what the old lady said, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, grandma, I will go back and discuss it with Yue'er."

So after Qin Yi came out from the old lady, he went to find Su Yue and conveyed the old lady's intention to Su Yue. After hearing this, Su Yue did not think too much and answered directly and straightforwardly: "Okay, no problem!"

For Su Yue, it doesn't really matter where she celebrates the New Year, because the relatives she really cares about are not here, and none of the relatives she is familiar with are here, so it's the same for her no matter where she celebrates the New Year, as long as Qin Yi is with her.

After Su Yue and Qin Yi decided to return to the Hou Mansion for the New Year, they began to prepare. They selected generous New Year gifts and specially customized a batch of exquisite cakes to express their respect for the elders in the Hou Mansion.

Su Yue thought that it would be the same no matter where she was, so she stopped worrying about it. She looked at the busy maids, some were packing their luggage, some were preparing New Year's goods, everyone was busy and happy. Fu Bao was like a little adult, directing the maids to do things. Seeing this scene, Su Yue couldn't help laughing.

She walked to Fubao, squatted down, and asked softly: "Fubao, are you happy that we are going back to the Marquis' Mansion to celebrate the New Year?"

Fu Bao frowned and said reluctantly: "Do we have to go back? I don't want to go to the Marquis' Mansion."

Su Yue asked doubtfully: "Why? Don't you like the Marquis' Mansion?"

Fubao lowered his head and whispered, "No one in the Marquis's Mansion likes Fubao."

Hearing this, Su Yue felt distressed. A child who was only three years old was so sensitive that he could feel other people's likes and dislikes for him. She hugged Fubao tightly and said gently: "Fubao, don't be sad. Whether they like you or not, I will always love you."

Fubao raised his head, looked at Su Yue, tears flashing in his eyes, and nodded.

Su Yue gently stroked Fubao's hair, thinking that she must let Fubao know that he was loved. At the same time, she also decided to pay more attention to Fubao's feelings and give him more care and companionship in the future.

Su Yue held Fubao in her arms and comforted him softly, "Don't be afraid, Fubao, with A Niang here, no one can bully you." Fubao blinked and looked at Su Yue, "Really?" Su Yue nodded, "Of course it's true, A Niang will always protect Fubao." Fubao smiled and hugged Su Yue tightly. Su Yue decided to pay more attention to Fubao's emotions during the New Year in the Marquis' Mansion and let him feel the warmth of home. At the same time, she also wanted to take this opportunity to let the people in the Marquis' Mansion recognize Fubao as her and Qin Yi's adopted son, so that they can accept him and abandon those prejudices and indifferences.
