Rebirth is not a dream.

These few days were like being in heaven for Su Yue! She played with Yaoyao and Xingyu every day, and laughter filled every corner. Xingyu recited a Thousand Characters from time to time, and Yaoyao also followed and learned to speak.

Not only that, the relationship between Yanyan and Bijun is becoming more and more harmonious. The two care for each other, support and encourage each other, and become friends who can talk about anything. Seeing the deep friendship between them gradually warming up, Su Yue feels sincerely relieved and happy.

During this time, Su Yue fully enjoyed the warmth and happiness brought by friendship. Whether it was spending good time with Yaoyao and Xingyu, or witnessing the growth of the sincere friendship between Yanyan and Bijun, her heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction. This was the most pleasant life after returning to Anning Marquis Mansion, which made Su Yue feel happy and comfortable.

Taozi and Qiuzhu took care of all matters in Yunxiao Court in an orderly and well-organized manner. However, Aunt Tao was still as erratic and mysterious as usual. Su Yue had long been accustomed to this and would not ask too many questions or interfere. After all, even if she asked, it would probably be futile and she would not get any useful answers. In this case, why bother?

When Aunt Tao suddenly appeared in the children's room looking for Su Yue, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Su Yue looked at Aunt Tao in front of her and asked in confusion: "Aunt Tao, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Nanny Tao smiled slightly and replied, "Miss, Butler Liu has returned to the capital. He came here specially to visit you." Upon hearing the news, a hint of surprise flashed in Su Yue's eyes.

She frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Oh? When did Butler Liu come back? Why didn't he send a visiting card in advance?" She was obviously puzzled and bewildered by such a sudden visit.

Nanny Tao quickly explained, "To answer Miss's question, Butler Liu arrived in the capital the day before yesterday. Perhaps due to his busy schedule, he was unable to deliver the visiting card in time. Early this morning, he came to the mansion in person and is now waiting for Miss in the front hall." After saying that, Nanny Tao bowed slightly to express her apology.

Su Yue stared at Aunt Tao silently, feeling lost and not knowing how to start. Since the person had already come, she had no choice but to go and meet him. Su Yue was full of curiosity about this housekeeper Liu.

She slowly walked into the front hall, her eyes falling on a middle-aged man standing with his back to her. As Su Yue continued to move forward, Butler Liu seemed to notice her coming, turned around, and bowed to Su Yue.

Su Yue originally thought that this housekeeper Liu was handsome and elegant, and would be a middle-aged uncle with a graceful appearance. However, when she saw his face clearly, she was shocked - housekeeper Liu had a thick beard that almost covered half of his face! But those eyes made Su Yue feel familiar, as if such a picture had flashed through her memory.

That should be someone that Su Yue had seen when she was a child, but he didn't have such a thick beard back then, and he was indeed a handsome man. At this moment, facing the housekeeper Liu in front of him, Su Yue couldn't help but fall into deep thought: Could he be the same person back then? But time flies, why has he changed so much now?

All kinds of questions came to Su Yue's mind. She tried to recall every bit of the past, trying to piece together that vague memory. Butler Liu stood there quietly, with a deep and mysterious look in his eyes, as if he was also observing Su Yue's reaction. The entire front hall was shrouded in a strange and mysterious atmosphere, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching in secret. Su Yue sat quietly on the main seat, with a subtle nervousness and uneasiness in his eyes.

At this time, a maid walked in quietly, holding a gorgeous screen in her hand. She carefully placed the screen in the middle of the hall, just separating Su Yue and Butler Liu who was standing beside her.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Su Yue couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly. She thought: "Although the separation between men and women in this era is not so strict, it is still very cautious!" However, she also understood that she was in an unfamiliar environment, so she should adapt to the local customs and follow the rules here.

So, Su Yue took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She picked up the teacup and took a sip, trying to calm her inner turmoil with the aroma of tea. At the same time, she began to look at the butler Liu opposite her, trying to find some clues or clues from his words and actions.

Su Yue raised her head slightly, looking ahead with a firm gaze, and was the first to break the silence and said, "Butler Liu, are you going out to inspect the Su family's business this time?"

Butler Liu bowed slightly and replied respectfully, "That's right, young lady. This year's business is slightly worse than in the past, so we need to spend more time to check it carefully."

Hearing this, Su Yue frowned slightly, but soon regained her composure and continued to ask: "So what about the news about my father? Is there any new progress?"

Butler Liu quickly replied, "Miss, don't worry. The master is fine. While he is away from home this time, he is also thinking about his family, so he has asked someone to prepare rich New Year's goods, which should be delivered to your house in some time." After saying that, he carefully took out a letter from his arms and motioned Qiu Zhu behind him to come forward.

Qiu Zhu understood, stepped forward quickly to take the letter, and handed it to Su Yue. Su Yue stretched out her delicate hand, gently took the envelope, and saw the familiar handwriting on the envelope. In Su Yue's memory, this handwriting should be the handwritten letter of Master Su.

Su Yue gently unfolded the envelope, held the letter in her hands, and silently stared at the handwriting on it. The words in the letter were concise and clear, without too much elaboration, but she still read it carefully for a while.

The letter mentioned that due to the busy business, Father Su brought back a lot of goods when he returned from the sea. Afterwards, he immediately took these goods to Chang'an and planned to enter Bingzhou from there. However, when Su Yue's eyes touched the word "Bingzhou", she couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart. It seemed that these two words contained some special meaning that made her unable to let go.

The Su family's business has always been focused on Jiangdu and the areas to its south. Now that they have suddenly extended their tentacles to the north, Su Yue is confused by this change. She knows very little about the business operations of this era, and can't help but think to herself: No matter when and where, it may not be easy to open up a new market. After all, unfamiliar environments, unknown risks, and fierce competition are all the problems facing us.

However, why did the Su family move their business to the north? This is really puzzling. The letter also mentioned her situation in the Marquis's Mansion. If she felt uneasy living there, she could return to her own house at any time without any worries. Obviously, Father Su still cared about little Su Yue. In addition, as long as it involved money, it was not a problem for the Su family. Look, Father Su specially gave Su Yue a large sum of money.

This old man Su is somewhat similar to Su Yue's father in her previous life, that is, he thought that giving his daughter enough money would make her happy, but old man Su gave much more than old man Su. It seems that men's ideas are similar no matter what era.

Su Yue didn't know what else to ask, so she said, "Bring the New Year gifts that Daddy sent, some daily necessities to the Marquis' Mansion, and leave the other treasures at the Su residence for now."

Butler Liu was secretly surprised. He originally did not believe everything that Nanny Tao said, but what he saw with his own eyes now forced him to re-evaluate the young lady in front of him.

In the past, Su Yue was obsessed with how to bring glory to the Marquis's Mansion; but now? She seemed to no longer care about these things, as if she had become a different person.

Butler Liu couldn't help but think of the past. At that time, Su Yue was smart and considerate, and treated the servants in the mansion with kindness and generosity, and was deeply loved and supported by everyone. But why did all this change so dramatically now?

Could it be true, as the outside world has said, that the young lady's personality has changed drastically since the accident? Or is there another hidden story... Butler Liu frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Butler Liu replied respectfully, "Yes, Miss." Su Yue smiled slightly and continued, "The New Year is just over a month away, and everyone has worked hard during this period. You can relax in the Su residence and have a happy New Year. Maybe I will come back to stay for a few days and reunite with everyone."

Butler Liu nodded repeatedly and said he would do it. Then, Su Yue thought about it and added: "After the New Year, if you have free time, Butler Liu, you can take me to each shop to check out the situation. After all, our business is getting bigger and bigger, and I have to know more about it."

Hearing this, Butler Liu was a little surprised. The young lady had never cared much about the family business, but now she seemed to be interested in it. He was secretly happy in his heart and quickly agreed: "Okay, young lady. I will make preparations in advance to ensure that everything goes well. However..." He hesitated for a moment and continued: "Young lady, Master Yuan may arrive in Kyoto in late December. I wonder if you have any ideas about how to receive Master Yuan and the subsequent arrangements?"

Su Yue didn't have much impression of this Young Master Yuan. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "Then I'll trouble Butler Liu to take care of the arrangements. If the Third Young Master is free, you can ask him to pick up my cousin. As for the specific arrival time, you can just inform Aunt Tao. She will be responsible for handling the relevant matters."

After receiving clear instructions, Butler Liu felt much more relaxed. He bowed to Su Yue and then left.

Su Yue stared at the figure of Butler Liu walking away quietly, thinking to herself. Butler Liu usually behaved respectfully and politely, without any sign of bullying the master, but she knew that people's hearts were unpredictable, so who knew?

Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but frowned slightly, and began to wonder what secrets Butler Liu had hidden. And would these secrets be related to the Su family? She really didn't want to be involved, and only hoped to stay out of it.
