Rebirth is not a dream.

The sun shines through the window into the house. Su Yue lazily leans on the couch, flipping through a yellowed book. Her eyes are not completely focused on the pages of the book, but she stops from time to time to stare at the unfamiliar traditional Chinese characters. Some of these characters can still be recognized, but more often than not, she needs to rely on guesswork to understand their meaning.

For Su Yue, reading the books here is not an easy and pleasant thing. However, if she wants to understand the various things in this time and space, reading seems to be the only feasible way. Despite the difficulty, she still persists, hoping to get useful information from it.

Just as Su Yue was immersed in the world of the book, Taozi hurried into the room and reported, "Aunt Cheng is here to pay her respects."

Su Yue frowned slightly and asked unhappily, "What is she doing here? Didn't I say she didn't have to come and pay her respects?" There was a hint of impatience in her tone.

Taozi replied softly, "It must be because of the Second Madam." As she spoke, she skillfully began to tidy up Su Yue's clothes and hair.

Su Yue knew that what Taozi said was true. After thinking about it for a while, she decided to meet Aunt Cheng. So she asked Taozi to help her pack up as soon as possible, and then she got up and went to the front hall.

Su Yue came to the front hall and saw Aunt Cheng standing there respectfully. She was wearing a lavender dress and had a pretty face, but her eyes revealed a bit of shrewdness. "I pay my respects to the Third Young Madam." Aunt Cheng bowed and saluted, her voice gentle and pleasant. Su Yue responded indifferently, then sat down in the main seat and asked directly, "Aunt Cheng, what are you doing here today?"

Aunt Cheng smiled and replied, "I heard that Third Young Madam has been studying poetry and books recently, so I came here to ask for advice. I have had some knowledge of literature since I was young, so I wonder if I can discuss this with Third Young Madam?"

Su Yue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "Madam Cheng, if you have anything to say, you might as well tell me directly. It may be better to be honest. As for the artistic fields such as poetry and songs, I am really ashamed that I know nothing about them. I can even say that I am not proficient in any of the four talents of music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Hearing this, Aunt Cheng was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond. After a moment of silence, Su Yue continued, "If there is nothing else, then you can leave. You don't need to greet me here. After all, I don't like you, and I guess you don't like me either. In this case, why bother to socialize hypocritically?"

Aunt Cheng was obviously annoyed and couldn't help asking, "Third Young Madam, if you have any opinions about the kitchen, why don't you go and discuss a solution with the Second Madam? What benefit will you get from destroying the kitchen?" Su Yue had never expected that the other party actually came for the kitchen and the Second Madam, but she was not panicked.

She replied calmly, "Mrs. Cheng, you are just a mistress. Do you want to interfere in the management of the affairs of the mansion? Even I, the Third Young Lady, do not ask about family affairs, so why do you meddle in other people's business? If you care about your aunt, you can go visit her. Or you can ask your Weiguo Marquis Mansion to support her. Why bother me?"

Aunt Cheng thought to herself that Su Yue seemed to have really changed drastically. If it were the past, facing such a situation, she should be terrified, afraid of making things worse, so she would always be cautious and might even try to flatter her. But now, Su Yue completely ignored her, as if she was nothing.

Aunt Cheng felt helpless against someone like Su Yue who didn't follow the rules and did things her own way. In desperation, she had to leave with a heart full of resentment. When Aunt Cheng and her maid Yunzhi walked to the courtyard, they happened to see Yanyan carrying Yaoyao into the courtyard. Aunt Cheng was immediately furious when she saw this and cursed fiercely, "What a flatterer!"

After blurting out this sentence, Aunt Cheng felt a little relieved, but at the same time she also realized that she had lost her composure in front of Yanyan. However, she did not care about these details, because at this moment her mind was completely occupied by Su Yue. She really couldn't understand why the once timid Su Yue suddenly became so tough and made people unable to deal with it.

However, the reality was extremely cruel. She knew that she could not really seek help from the Marquis of Weiguo. You know, compared with the Marquis of Anning, although they were both marquises, the Marquis of Weiguo was only in name only and had little actual power. The reason why the Marquis of Weiguo could barely maintain the status quo was nothing more than relying on the emperor's deep-seated reluctance to easily touch the Marquis of Weiguo Mansion. In the eyes of those aristocratic families, the Marquis of Weiguo Mansion was simply insignificant and disdainful, like an existence that could be dispensable.

Zhang Yanyan carefully carried Yaoyao into the room and greeted Su Yue who was sitting on the couch. Su Yue smiled and signaled her not to be polite, and reached out her hand to take Yaoyao.

Su Yue gently stroked Yaoyao's pink cheek, her eyes full of love. This cute little girl is almost four months old. She always likes to lie on the bed and roll around and play alone. She seems to be curious about everything around her. At this moment, when Su Yue tried to hold her in her arms, the little girl twisted her body and struggled to leave Su Yue's arms. It was obvious that she wanted to play on the couch.

Su Yue smiled helplessly and had to put Yaoyao on the couch. Yaoyao immediately turned over happily, then raised her head and looked at Su Yue with her clear eyes, with an innocent smile on her lips. It seemed as if she was telling Su Yue: "Mom, look, I have learned to turn over by myself. I have grown up!"

Su Yue stared at the clever child in front of her quietly, and an indescribable sense of happiness and satisfaction surged in her heart. Although Yaoyao was not her biological child, every time she saw her innocent and lovely appearance, all her worries would disappear. At this moment, Su Yue felt that she was the happiest person in the world.

Zhang Yanyan looked at her daughter who was playing happily on the couch with full of worry, and couldn't help but whispered to Su Yue beside her: "Third Young Madam, the Marquis has been punished to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors, and I'm afraid he won't be able to attend court to discuss state affairs this year. I'm really worried that he will vent his anger on you..."

Su Yue frowned slightly, but soon regained her composure and responded firmly, "Maybe not. Even if he is angry, the target should be the Third Young Master. Unfortunately, I don't know if the Third Young Master will vent his anger on me."

Zhang Yanyan stared at Su Yue and saw that she didn't seem to care too much about this matter. The tension in her heart gradually relaxed. She thought to herself that this kind of life was actually quite comfortable. She and the Third Young Lady accompanied the children to grow up every day. The time was plain and beautiful. However, she couldn't help but wonder if this peaceful life could continue for a long time?

The future is full of variables and unknowns, and no one can predict it. Zhang Yanyan prayed silently, hoping that everything would go smoothly and that this simple happiness would last forever.

As night fell, Su Yue was about to go to bed, but Qin Yi suddenly arrived. Su Yue realized that she really couldn't talk about others behind their backs. Just when she mentioned the third young master to Yan Yan during the day, he went home that night. This was also the first time she met Qin Yi after she got drunk last time. Recalling the embarrassing sex after getting drunk last time, Su Yue couldn't help but smile, but looking at Qin Yi's expression, it seemed that he didn't take it to heart. When Qin Yi entered the room, Su Yue was already wearing middle clothes and preparing to go to bed. He felt a little shy, but seeing that Su Yue was calm, why should he be shy. As a man, he should be open and aboveboard. So he asked Su Yue about the kitchen delivering meals. Su Yue felt quite helpless about this matter. Everyone came to ask, but Su Yue still told Qin Yi the whole story in detail, and saw how he would deal with it. After all, she was abused at home, and as a husband, would he still blame herself?

After Qin Yi finished listening, he remained silent like a clay sculpture or a wooden sculpture. Su Yue was also confused, not knowing what he was thinking. He sat on the couch for a while with his head down like a frost-bitten eggplant, and then walked away in disgrace like a defeated rooster. Seeing this, Su Yue was confused and thought to herself: "?" He just left like that? What the hell is going on!

Qin Yi was so ashamed in front of Su Yue! The last time he fell into the water, Su Yue almost died, and this time he treated Su Yue harshly in terms of food. This mansion was really full of demons and monsters! He was a man of seven feet tall, but he couldn't do anything except study. Was he going to blame Su Yue? Wouldn't he be worse than a beast?

Jiang Yuan followed Qin Yi back to the study and said cautiously, "Third Young Master, are you not going back to your room to sleep?"

Qin Yi did not respond to Jiang Yuan's words. He sat alone at the desk and pondered. After a moment, he muttered to himself: "The Marquis's Mansion hated Su Yue so much, why did they insist on marrying her back then?" Jiang Yuan thought, he was just a servant, what could he say? If he accused the Marquis's Mansion of wrongdoing, that would be inappropriate; but if he said that the Marquis's Mansion was right, how could he be sincere? Isn't this speaking against one's conscience?

Qin Yi's mind was as clear as a mirror. He knew that if the lady had not secretly instructed, how could the servants of the Marquis' Mansion dare to bully Su Yue? The second aunt's little tricks were nothing in front of the lady, and they were no match at all. If the lady wanted to protect Su Yue, it would be easy, but she didn't want to do so.

What Qin Yi had not expected was that Su Yue was so powerful now and knew how to spend money lavishly, but he had never expected that the Marquis would be implicated. At this moment, Qin Yi could not help but wonder if the Madam was also regretting it?

Qin Yi had a new understanding of Su Yue.
