Rebirth is not a dream.

Su Yue had originally planned to go mountain climbing to roast rabbits, but she failed to do so. Fortunately, Ding Xiang cooked a delicious braised rabbit meat in the evening, which was a kind of compensation. As for the person who was rescued by Su Yue, Su Yue had not paid much attention to him since he returned to the temple. After all, Master Sheng and the doctor were taking care of him there, so the injured person should be fine. Moreover, as the weather was getting colder and the living environment on the mountain became more and more uncomfortable, Su Yue thought to herself, "I have been in Baiyun Temple for almost two months, and it is time to go back to the Marquis' Mansion." Although she was reluctant to go back from the bottom of her heart, she really didn't want Qin Yi to pick her up in person. Because once that happened, it would be even more difficult to get a divorce smoothly. In fact, divorce was not Su Yue's top priority, but if it was possible, it would be much better than being trapped in the small world of the Marquis' Mansion.

So, Su Yue told Taozi and the others to pack their luggage and make full preparations for the upcoming trip to Kyoto. Seeing them busy packing various items, Li Sao couldn't help but feel a little melancholy and lost. Su Yue knew that Li Sao was not only good at accounting, but also very good at abacus. If she could stay by her side and help take care of things, she would definitely be a great helper.

It was a sunny day, and it was afternoon. After Su Yue found Mrs. Li, she asked directly, "Sister Bijun! What plans or intentions do you and Xingyu have for the future?"

After hearing this question, Mrs. Li looked confused and at a loss. Because she knew very well that she could not go back to her parents' home. If she chose to go back now, the Li family would probably come to her house and cause a lot of trouble. But at this moment, she also didn't know where else she could go.

Seeing that Sister Li was in such a dilemma, Su Yue said gently, "Sister Bijun, Xingyu is still young after all. It is definitely not a long-term solution to let him live in the temple all the time. Look, we are about the same age, so I will no longer call you Sister Li. How about you just call me Ah Yue from now on, and I will call you Sister Bijun?"

Then, Su Yue used the tricks she had used in previous negotiations with clients, and began to persuade He Bijun earnestly: "Xingyu is not even six years old yet. You will need a lot of money to raise him. However, your family's land cannot be sold for cash, and you and your son cannot return to the village to live. So, you still have to find a job to earn money to support your family. It just so happens that I am currently short of manpower to help with the work, and I think it is suitable for you to come here. Otherwise, just follow me and work together."

However, facing Su Yue's suggestion, He Bijun showed a very embarrassed expression on her face and responded: "But we absolutely cannot sell ourselves into slavery. When Xingyu grows up, she will have to study hard and take the imperial examinations to enter the official career."

"Who told you that you have to be a slave if you follow me?" Su Yue suddenly raised her head, stared at the other person with sharp eyes, and questioned in a firm and powerful tone.

Being glared at by her, He Bijun couldn't help but feel a little guilty, but she still replied in a low voice: "Madam, you are of noble status, and I am just an ordinary person..."

"Sister Bijun, that's not right." Su Yue interrupted her. "Although I am the young lady of the Marquis's Mansion, it doesn't mean I can bully others at will. What's more, I feel that I have a good relationship with you and we get along very well. So, I don't want you to be a slave, but I want to hire you to do something. Think about it, Xingyu is not even six years old now. It will take at least ten years for him to set up his own home and support a family. This is the fastest. If it's slower, it may take more than ten years or even longer, right?" Su Yue looked at He Bijun, giving her time to think, and then continued: "How are you two going to survive in these ten years? Talking about studying now is a luxury. Your first priority is how to survive, right?" Sister Li lowered her head and thought.

Su Yue added: "We can work together for three years first. If everything goes well, we can arrange for Xingyu to study in the family school of the Marquis' Mansion. In this way, you can have a stable job and take care of the children. We will be returning to the Marquis' Mansion in a few days. I hope you can consider this proposal carefully. What do you think?"

Her words were sincere and made people feel her sincerity and kindness. After hearing this, He Bijun couldn't help but be moved and began to think seriously about this suggestion.

After reciting the morning lesson, Su Yue returned to the courtyard. Wherever she looked, the chrysanthemums that once bloomed like clouds were now slightly withered. The petals were slightly curled, and the color was no longer bright and dazzling, as if they were traces left by the passing of time. Su Yue couldn't help but think of when she first arrived, these chrysanthemums were in full bloom, and the fragrance filled the garden and was intoxicating.

Time flies, like a fleeting white horse, whether it is prosperity or loneliness, it slips away from your fingertips inadvertently. She was filled with emotion, and a faint sadness surged in her heart.

Su Yue was immersed in her own thoughts. Before she could sigh too much, she saw a little monk hurried over and told her that the abbot wanted her to visit the donor she had saved. At this time, Su Yue suddenly remembered that there was such a person! The man looked very similar to Lu Ming, but these days, her mind was full of how to return to the Marquis' Mansion, and she had completely forgotten about this person.

Thinking back now, Su Yue couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that I am no longer as obsessed with Lu Ming as before? Otherwise, how could I be so careless and forget him so easily... Perhaps, time can really dilute everything. The feelings that were once unforgettable are now gradually fading away in the many changes. And that obsession seems to have slowly dissipated with the changes in life. Thinking of this, Su Yue's heart was filled with an indescribable complex emotion, with both a sense of relief and a hint of melancholy.
