Rebirth is not a dream.

After Su Yue asked Chenxiang to send Qin Jiaojiao out of the door, she turned around and took Taozi to leisurely stroll in the courtyard. This mansion was large in scale, with pavilions and towers scattered in an orderly manner, rockery and waterside pavilions complementing each other, and flowers, plants and trees dotted in between, which was beautiful.

Su Yue walked to a small and exquisite pool and quietly gazed at the surrounding scenery. She wondered in her heart: "The layout here seems a bit strange..." Especially the small artificial lake. Although it was brought in from the outside world, no matter from which angle you look at it, it gives people a feeling similar to the Tai Chi pattern.

Perhaps it was due to the blessing in her previous life that Su Yue had met all kinds of clients with different interests and hobbies. During one period, she met a client who had a special liking for Feng Shui. In order to better communicate with this client, Su Yue had to cram and study the "Book of Changes" and other related knowledge. Although she was not proficient in it, she could at least understand and respond to the topics discussed by the client.

She secretly thanked herself for having some basic knowledge, otherwise it would be difficult to detect the mystery of the layout here! The rockery next to the small pond seemed like a door. Su Yue wondered if she had watched too many tomb-robbing movies in her previous life, so she felt that everything she saw had mechanisms and secrets. Su Yue walked over and stared at the rockery in a daze. At this time, Ma Ma came over and asked, "Miss, why are you in a daze here?" Ma Ma asked with a smile.

Su Yue pointed at the rockery and said, "Mammy, does this look like a door?"

Ma Ma looked at it and said unnaturally, "It's just a rockery. Miss, don't think too much about it."

Su Yue shook her head and said, "I always feel that there is some secret behind this rockery." She walked around the rockery several times and observed it carefully.

Suddenly, she found that a stone on the rockery was loose. She pushed hard, and the rockery slowly opened, revealing a passage.

Su Yue looked at the passage in surprise, her heart full of curiosity. She wanted to go in and take a look. Taozi looked at the passage in front of her and said with some fear: "Miss, what is this? Is it something bad?"

Ma Ma said with difficulty: "Miss, let's go back quickly. There are some places in this mansion that you can't just enter casually!"

Su Yue gently patted Taozi's slightly trembling arm, trying to calm her down, then glared at Ma Ma with a look of majesty and sharpness, and responded in a firm tone: "This is my house! Is there any place that I can't go to?" There was an unquestionable momentum in her voice, as if telling Ma Ma that she was the real owner of this house.

In fact, Su Yue didn't particularly want to go in and check out anything. She secretly thought that it was either a dungeon where prisoners were held, or a secret passage leading to somewhere outside, or maybe a storehouse where treasures were hidden. However, Ma Ma's look, which obviously didn't want her to go in, made Su Yue very unhappy. Su Yue, who was holding her breath, made up her mind at this time to go in and find out what was going on no matter what. As the saying goes, "If you don't make money, you will make a living!"

Su Yue went down to the secret room, paused for a moment, and scanned the surroundings without going deeper. The secret room was not big, with a few items placed inside, but she wondered if there were other hidden doors or traps. However, Su Yue did not stay too long to explore carefully, and just took a quick glance and walked out of the secret room with Taozi.

After leaving the secret room, Su Yue warned Taozi with a serious expression: "Don't tell anyone what you saw today, including the people in the mansion!" Taozi nodded quickly and promised that she would never spread the matter.

Ma Ma, who was standing at the back, stared at Su Yue's back with a complicated look. She thought to herself: This young lady seems to be very different from the rumors! I will report it in detail when Butler Liu returns...

Su Yue's heart was full of doubts and uneasiness. She secretly wondered what secrets this person named Xiao Su Yue was hiding. There seemed to be a mysterious atmosphere in this house, which made her feel inexplicably depressed.

She began to wonder if there were some important things hidden in this that she had never known about? What impact would these things have on her? What was the worst possible scenario in this era?

The first thing that came to mind was money, but the Su family obviously did not lack money; so was it a lack of power? Could it be that they were involved with someone who was trying to rebel? This thought frightened Su Yue, because treason was a serious matter, and once involved, the consequences would be disastrous.

The more Su Yue thought about it, the more frightened she felt. She was really afraid that things would develop in the direction she was worried about. She prayed silently, hoping that everything was just her excessive imagination and not a real danger. However, the doubts deep in her heart could not be eliminated, as if a heavy stone was pressing on her heart, making her breathless.

Just forget about it if you can't figure it out! Su Yue shook her head gently and decided to put aside her doubts for the time being. She turned to look at Taozi and said, "Go find Dingxiang, and let's discuss what to eat tonight." After all, they couldn't stay in this house for a few days, and they would soon have to return to the Marquis' Mansion.

Su Yue couldn't help but feel irritated when she thought about the bunch of monsters she would face after returning to the mansion. However, at this moment, Su Yue didn't want to worry too much about the future. She knew that life was short and she should live in the present and enjoy the good times in front of her. As the saying goes, "Drink today and don't worry about tomorrow's worries and troubles", why bother about things that haven't happened yet? At this moment, the most important thing is to enjoy the fun that life brings.

So, Su Yue adjusted her mentality and waited with a smile for Taozi to bring Dingxiang over. The three of them would discuss the food plan for tonight and spend this relaxing and happy time together. Perhaps, in this short moment of tranquility, Su Yue could forget all her troubles and regain her inner peace and tranquility.

Qin Jiaojiao returned to An Ning Marquis's residence in a huff. As soon as she saw her mother, she couldn't wait to reply to her: "Mom, Jiaojiao has already apologized to the third sister-in-law as you instructed! But who knew that woman would be so ungrateful. When I went there, she was still lying in bed without getting up! She has no manners at all! Moreover, she is so rude and vulgar, just like someone from a small family. She doesn't even know the most basic etiquette!"

Madam Hou looked at her daughter who looked aggrieved, her heart full of love. She gently patted Qin Jiaojiao's shoulder and said earnestly: "Jiaojiao, although we are of noble status, we can't look down on others because of this. Besides, others may be impolite, but we can't lose our proper manners. What happened yesterday is a thing of the past. Mother only hopes that such things will not happen again in the future. After all, a harmonious family can prosper everything. What happened yesterday will be detrimental to your reputation if it gets out. Use your brain before doing anything next time."

Qin Jiaojiao curled her lips in disapproval after hearing her mother's words, but she didn't say anything more. She thought to herself, let's not talk about other aspects, just in terms of status, there is an insurmountable gap between Su Yue and the third brother. You know, the third brother is from a prominent family, his family background is deep and powerful, and what about Su Yue? She is just a merchant's daughter, not even as good as the girls of ordinary families, compared with the third brother, it's like heaven and earth! Look at those girls from aristocratic families, they are all talented, beautiful, and have a prominent family background and endless wealth and resources. No matter from which aspect, these girls from aristocratic families are far better than Su Yue. So, how could Su Yue be worthy of such an excellent man as the third brother? , I must find a chance to take revenge on that Su Yue and let her know how powerful I am.

Qin Jiaojiao was thinking about something in her heart, but Su Yue, who was far away, knew nothing about it. At this moment, Su Yue was sitting in the yard with a group of little maids, enjoying a steaming hot pot feast. Although the variety of ingredients available in this life was far less than that in the previous life, the familiar and friendly taste made Su Yue feel an indescribable satisfaction.

The soup in the pot was bubbling, giving off an alluring aroma. All kinds of fresh vegetables, meat, tofu and other ingredients were bubbling up and down in the soup, as if they were dancing a happy dance. Su Yue and the maids picked up their favorite foods with laughter and put them into their mouths to taste them carefully. Every mouthful was filled with rich soup, leaving a lasting aftertaste.

The sun shone on them, warm and soft. The breeze rustled the leaves, adding a sense of tranquility and harmony to this beautiful moment. Su Yue couldn't help but immerse herself in this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and her mood was particularly comfortable. For her, such a simple and happy time has not been experienced for a long time.

In this noisy and busy world, people often pursue more material wealth and fame, but ignore the ordinary and precious moments in life. However, at this moment, Su Yue found inner peace and satisfaction in this simple hot pot feast.
