Rebirth is not a dream.

Chapter 6: An Ning Marquis Mansion

After nearly half a month of recuperation, Su Yue's physical condition finally gradually improved, but she still needed to rest and recuperate for a while before she could fully recover. So, during this period of time, Su Yue stayed in her spacious courtyard almost all day, leading a quiet and leisurely life.

Of course, I also inquired about the situation of the Marquis' Mansion. Qin Yuan, the ancestor of the Qin family, was a founding hero, and was therefore granted the title of the hereditary Duke of Ying. However, things are unpredictable, and because his second master Qin Lin was involved in a corruption case, the Duke of Ying's Mansion was demoted and demoted to the Anning Marquis' Mansion.

Now, the old Duke Qin Cheng has passed away, and the current An Ning Marquis Qin Ling is the fourth generation head of the family. At this time, the old lady Xie of the Marquis's mansion left Beijing and returned home to visit relatives and friends. An Ning Marquis has three brothers. His eldest wife has one wife and three concubines, and has three sons, all of whom are legitimate. In addition, he also gave birth to two legitimate and illegitimate daughters. The family lives in the main courtyard.

At the beginning of the year, the Marquis of Anning was recalled to the capital by the emperor's favor and ordered to go to the North Camp to train soldiers. Although his position as Minister of War had not yet been restored, he was still favored by the emperor and was highly favored.

Mrs. Lu, the wife of Marquis An Ning, came from an extraordinary family. Her brother was the Minister of Rites, and her father had even served as a cabinet minister. Although they have now resigned from office and retired, they are living a leisurely and peaceful life at home.

The eldest son, Qin Jin, was only 22 years old and served in the Jinwu Guards, holding the rank of a fourth-rank general. He married Wang Xinxuan, the legitimate daughter of the famous Wang family, and the couple had a son who was now over one year old.

The second young master Qin Xiao has just come of age and had his coming-of-age ceremony, but he has no interest in getting married. Instead, he devotes himself to military training.

The third young master is Su Yue's husband Qin Yi, who is now 18 years old and is studying hard in the academy, actively preparing for the imperial examination to be held next spring. In addition to Su Yue, Qin Yi's mansion also has a concubine and a maid, and they have a son and a daughter. However, up to now, Su Yue has not met the illegitimate children.

The second house was headed by Qin Lin and his wife Cheng, with two concubines and six children. Two of the legitimate daughters had already married, leaving two illegitimate sons, one legitimate son and one illegitimate daughter at home.

Qin Yuanyuan, the eldest daughter of the second house, is the eldest granddaughter of the Marquis's mansion and has a prominent status. Three years ago, when she participated in the selection, she married into the second prince's Jinwang Mansion and became a concubine. However, it is difficult to say whether she is favored. Now, she has been pregnant for more than three months, but the good news was not brought back home until the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The second daughter of the second wife, the third lady Qin Qianqian, married Xie Yi, the second son of the Kangle Marquis Mansion, the mother's family of Mrs. Xie. Xie Yi worked in the Hanlin Academy and held a sixth-rank official position.

The second son, Qin Chi, is only seventeen years old, the sixth child in the Marquis's house, and is currently studying at the Imperial Academy. In addition, there are two illegitimate sons in the family, the older Qin Chao is already eighteen years old, the fourth child; and the younger Qin Qi is only seven years old, the ninth child. It was these two, along with the nurse, who discovered the drowning Su Yue. The last person to be mentioned is the illegitimate daughter, Qin Yun, the fifth girl in the Marquis's house, who is in her prime.

As for the third wife, Qin Xiu, he was originally a concubine's son, but his mother was Mrs. Song, the cousin of Mrs. Xie. Unfortunately, she died during childbirth, so Mrs. Xie took the third master into her own room to raise him and put him under her name. The third wife also had six children, four legitimate sons, two daughters, one illegitimate son and one illegitimate daughter. The two legitimate daughters were married.

The eldest daughter of the third house was the second daughter of the Marquis's mansion, Qin Lili. She married into the Ronglu Marquis's mansion and became the wife of his second son Gao Weiyong. Gao Weiyong served as the Langjiang of the Jinwu Guards. They had a two-year-old son.

The second daughter of the third house is the fourth daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, Qin Yinyin. She married General Wei's eldest son Wei Zhi and gave birth to a young son who is now one year old.

As for the third son, they are a pair of amazing twin brothers, Qin Tong and Qin Yuan. The twins are only fifteen years old and are currently learning martial arts from their master while also studying in the clan school.

The illegitimate son and daughter of the third house were all born to Concubine Qing, who had one son and one daughter. The illegitimate son was named Qin Yuexingwu, now 18 years old. He studied in the academy with the third young master, and had already arranged a marriage. His fiancée was Hu Furong, the daughter of his aunt's husband's relative, and the two were scheduled to get married in June next year.

The last person to be mentioned is the sixth girl of the Marquis’ Mansion. She is Qin Miao, the concubine’s daughter of the third room. She is thirteen years old and in the prime of her youth.

Su Yue understood the general situation of the Marquis' Mansion and also looked through her dowry list. When she saw the long list of property, she couldn't help but sigh: "The Su family is indeed the richest family in Yangzhou, with such a rich family background!" No wonder someone in the Marquis' Mansion wanted to kill her, was this a crime of possessing a treasure?

Judging from the richness of the dowry, this Master Su paid great attention to and cared for Xiao Su Yue. Not only that, he also carefully selected a group of capable servants to accompany his daughter. Among them, Qiu Zhu is a maid with martial arts skills and is agile; Xiao Taozi is like a shrewd and capable little housekeeper, who manages all kinds of affairs in an orderly manner, which makes people feel very relieved; Chenxiang is proficient in medicine, and such skills are undoubtedly very practical in the mansion; as for Dingxiang, she is good at cooking, and the meals she cooks must be very popular with Xiao Su Yue; finally, there is Nanny Tao, who is good at account management. With her, Xiao Su Yue's life will naturally be smooth and worry-free.

Normally, with such a group of reliable people around her, little Su Yue should have lived a carefree, happy life. However, it was puzzling that there had been no news from Father Su for more than a year, which was really unbelievable.

Is it really because Master Su has not been heard from for more than a year that those people with ulterior motives in the Marquis' Mansion have the intention to kill him? What is the truth? It is really puzzling. At the same time, Su Yue couldn't help but start to worry about the progress of Qin Yi's investigation. So far, there has not been any news, which is really anxious! Has he encountered any difficulties and obstacles? Or is the matter much more complicated and difficult than we imagined? All kinds of speculations came to mind, but there was no way to confirm it. I can only pray silently in my heart, hoping that Qin Yi will find out the truth as soon as possible and give little Su Yue justice.
