Rebirth is not a dream.
Chapter 33: Insincere Apology
As night fell, everything was quiet. Su Yue lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She was so upset that she called Qiu Zhu to ask her to find some wine. Qiu Zhu took the order and returned to the room with a pot of fragrant wine.
Su Yue put on a thick cloak, walked out of the room slowly, and came to the courtyard. It was the end of October, and the night was cold, making her shiver. But this did not affect her interest in enjoying the night, but added a bit of poetic and cold beauty.
Su Yue sat on a stone bench, looking up at the starry sky, gently shaking the wine glass in her hand. She took a sip of the wine, feeling the burning sensation of the strong liquor entering her throat, and her mood gradually calmed down.
In this quiet night, Su Yue tasted the wine alone, enjoying this rare quiet time. She thought of her past experiences, laughter and tears, relatives and friends, success and failure. These memories kept playing in her mind like a movie, making her feel a lot of emotions. She has nothing now, no relatives and friends, and she doesn't even know who she is?
As time went by, the night deepened and the temperature became colder. However, Su Yue didn't seem to care and was still immersed in her own world. She continued to drink, letting her thoughts drift away, as if she wanted to drink all her troubles away. After an unknown amount of time, Su Yue finally felt that it was too cold, and the wine that Qiu Zhu found was too different from the wine she drank in her previous life. It was still not easy to get drunk. Thinking of the ancients who often drank alone under the moon, she couldn't help but yearn for it, but when it was her turn to experience it herself, she found that the reality was far from as beautiful as she imagined. Maybe it was just because she chose the wrong time! There is no moon tonight, only Su Yue, and she can't even face the three of them...
On this cool autumn night, Su Yue released her inner pressure and emotions in a unique way. Perhaps only at such moments can she truly find her own moment of peace.
The sun shines through the window into the room, illuminating a quiet corner. Su Yue lies lazily on the bed, immersed in a sweet dream. However, Taozi and Chenxiang come in and break the peace.
Taozi hurried into the room and called Su Yue softly: "Miss, wake up! The sun has risen high!"
Su Yue turned over and muttered, "Stop making noise, let me sleep a little longer..." She really didn't want to leave this warm and comfortable bed.
Taozi smiled helplessly, and Chenxiang leaned close to Su Yue's ear and said, "But Miss Seven is here!"
Su Yue asked in a daze: "What Miss Seven? Who is she? You are disturbing my sleep so early in the morning."
Taozi quickly explained: "Oh, my dear lady, have you forgotten? It's the seventh lady of the Marquis' Mansion, Qin Jiaojiao!"
Su Yue finally sobered up a little and remembered the seventh lady of the Marquis' Mansion. She frowned and muttered, "It's almost noon, why is she here at this time? Is she here to eat for free?"
Taozi couldn't help but giggle, thinking that her young lady was so cute. She gently pushed Su Yue and urged, "Miss, you'd better get up quickly, so as not to keep Miss Seven waiting for too long."
Su Yue sat up reluctantly, rubbed her eyes, yawned and said, "Okay, okay, since you are a guest, then go and meet me." As she spoke, she slowly got out of bed, dressed and washed.
Taozi made the bed, and Chenxiang came to dress her. Su Yue thought that someone might come to the Marquis's Mansion, but she didn't expect them to come so soon. Someone came just overnight. But why did this Seventh Miss come? Didn't she look down on her as a merchant girl? Could it be that the Seventh Miss was the one who didn't let her go through the front door? Su Yue really knew the truth.
However, Su Yue simply ate something before going to the front hall to meet the seventh sister.
Taozi was busy making the bed and folding the quilt neatly, while Chenxiang beside her was carefully dressing her and gently combing her long black and shiny hair.
At this moment, Su Yue thought to herself: The Marquis' Mansion might send someone to come, but she never expected it to be so quick, someone arrived after just one night. However, why did this Seventh Miss come? After all, she used to look down on a woman from a merchant family like her. Could it be that the Seventh Miss was the one who forbade her from entering and leaving through the main gate? Su Yue found out the truth.
But even so, she remained calm and simply ate some food before heading to the front hall to meet the Seventh Sister. Along the way, she couldn't help but wonder what the Seventh Miss's purpose was in coming here...
Arriving at the front hall, Su Yue saw Qin Jiaojiao, who was wearing a scarlet dress, sitting on a chair with an impatient look on her face. Next to her followed a maid named Liu, who was wearing a navy blue dress, and a maid in apricot clothes, who seemed to be called Amber. Qin Jiaojiao was just a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, born pretty and cute, but it was a pity that the reluctance on her face killed her cuteness without a trace, and it was disgusting to look at her, as if she deserved a beating. However, Su Yue thought, as an adult, why should I bother with a little girl, not to mention that the little girl had no intention of bowing to her at all. Seeing Su Yue come in, the maid and the nanny hurriedly greeted Su Yue, and Su Yue kindly asked them not to bow.
Su Yue sat upright on the main seat, staring at Qin Jiaojiao in front of her, and asked softly, "Why did Seventh Sister come to my courtyard so early today?"
Qin Jiaojiao was standing there with an unwilling look on her face. She muttered, "Third sister-in-law is really enjoying herself. It's already noon and it's still early. What happened yesterday was indeed my fault. I shouldn't have joked with you like that. I hope you won't blame me." After saying that, she lowered her head slightly.
Su Yue looked at Qin Jiaojiao's insincere apology, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she responded indifferently: "Oh? Seventh sister, you are wrong. I don't know what kind of joke you are playing on me."
Hearing this, Qin Jiaojiao was immediately annoyed. She raised her head and glared at Su Yue fiercely, saying unhappily, "Humph! Why do you have to act so hypocritically? You clearly know the situation in your heart, but you still pretend to be confused. Anyway, I have already apologized to you, and you are not allowed to gossip in front of mother again!"
Su Yue: "Oh, Seventh Sister is talking about the incident yesterday when I was not allowed to enter the house. I thought I had offended some blind dog slave and was being attacked. It turned out to be Seventh Sister!"
Qin Jiaojiao's face turned red with anger, "You...how dare you call me a dog slave!"
Su Yue chuckled, "I didn't say that, it's just that my sister took it for granted."
Qin Jiaojiao glared at Su Yue, her chest heaving violently.
At this time, Aunt Liu beside her said, "Third Young Madam, you are a magnanimous person, so don't bother with the young lady. When the Marquis's wife heard about this, she specially asked the young lady to come and apologize to you."
Su Yue understood what the Marquis' wife meant.
She glanced at Qin Jiaojiao and thought: This little girl is spoiled, but she is still a child after all.
So, she smiled and said, "Since it is Hou's intention, I will accept my sister's apology."
After hearing this, Qin Jiaojiao snorted coldly and turned away.
Su Yue looked at her back, thoughtfully.
After Madam Liu and Amber took their leave, they hurriedly followed Miss Seven, while Su Yue signaled Chenxiang to see them off.
Madam Liu quickly chased after Miss Seven and said anxiously, "Madam Hou specifically asked you to take Madam Three back home, but why didn't you tell her to let her go back home? If Madam asks..."
However, Qin Jiaojiao interrupted Aunt Liu rudely: "If you don't say anything, who will know? It's obviously her fault, what does it have to do with me! Haven't I already come to apologize? Isn't that enough? What else do you want me to do?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction and grievance in her voice.
Su Yue sat there quietly, thinking to herself. The Marquis's Mansion actually intended to let her go back, which was really beyond her expectation. Divorce was probably impossible now, but Su Yue had only met the Marquis's wife two or three times, so it was really difficult to judge what kind of person she was.
However, just from what happened today, it is obvious that this Marquis's wife is not an ordinary person, but a person with considerable means. Faced with such a complicated situation, Su Yue couldn't help but feel a little worried. She knew that after returning to the Marquis's Mansion, she would probably face more challenges and tests. But at the same time, she also knew that she could not retreat and must bravely face everything.
Su Yue sighed, thinking that this life that she had picked up for free should be treated as a game, and she would just go wherever she wanted! After all, life is an adventure full of unknowns...
