Rebirth is not a dream.

Chapter 62: A Dreamless Night

Su Yue never expected that the person she had saved on the mountain of Baiyun Temple was actually the Fourth Prince! Meeting him again at the soup kitchen today, was it really just a coincidence? When she was at Baiyun Temple, she did not deliberately conceal her identity, and the Fourth Prince must have known her true identity a long time ago. However, she did not think too much at that time, and only wanted to get the silver in her hands, and the silver and goods would be settled, but she must not make up some bloody plot of "saving my life, repaying it with my body". Who would have thought that the situation would become more and more difficult now, and it is very likely to be related to the royal family!

Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but frown, secretly complaining in her heart. Originally, she was just an ordinary woman, living a simple and peaceful life. But now, because of an unexpected rescue incident, she was involved in the vortex of the palace. This sudden change made her feel a little helpless. At this moment, she couldn't help but regret her original decision. If time could go back, she might choose another way to save people, and definitely not come forward in person. I think the royal family will not die so easily, and no one will die whether she takes action or not.

Su Yue was lying on the bed, feeling extremely regretful. She regretted why she had meddled in other people's affairs. She called Taozi and asked, "Where did you keep the jade pendant and the IOU? Find them quickly and return them to the prince as soon as possible."

Taozi replied with difficulty: "Then how should we return it... to that prince?"

Su Yue sat up from the bed, stared at Taozi and asked, "Yeah, how should I pay it back?"

Taozi frowned and thought for a while, then said worriedly, "We can't just send it over. If others find out, it might cause unnecessary trouble, and we won't be able to explain it then."

Just as Su Yue was thinking about how to solve this problem, Chen Xiang came in and reported, "Miss, Miss Five and Miss Seven are here."

Su Yue got off the bed reluctantly and said in a cold tone: "What are they doing here...Tell them to wait in the side hall." Taozi, who was standing by, came forward and helped Su Yue to tidy up her clothes and makeup. After everything was ready, Su Yue slowly walked towards the side hall.

When she stepped into the side hall, the Fifth Miss and the Seventh Miss immediately came up to her, bowed to Su Yue, and shouted in unison: "Third sister-in-law!" "Third sister-in-law!" Su Yue nodded slightly, as a response to their greetings.

Su Yue sat down slowly, and Chen Xiang came over and served her exquisite tea and snacks. Su Yue elegantly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "I wonder what brought you two sisters here today?"

Seventh Miss Qin Jiao smiled coquettishly and exclaimed: "The snacks here by Third Sister-in-law are so delicious!"

Fifth Miss Qin Yun also nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, Third Sister-in-law's tea is also very fragrant and delicious."

Su Yue heard this, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, she pursed her lips and chuckled, "As long as you like it."

Su Yue looked at the two little girls quietly, not knowing what it was about.

Qin Yun and Qin Jiaojiao looked at each other, then Qin Yun smiled and said to Su Yue, "I got a few boxes of rouge recently, and I thought Third Sister-in-law would like them, so I brought them to share with her."

After that, the two handed the rouge to Su Yue.

Su Yue took a look and smiled politely: "Thank you, sisters, but I don't often wear makeup, so you should keep this rouge for yourselves."

Qin Yun quickly said, "Don't refuse, sister-in-law. My sister and I specially picked this. The color is the most suitable for you."

Seeing this, Su Yue couldn't refuse anymore, so she let Taozi accept the rouge and thanked her.

During the greetings, Qin Yun casually mentioned: "Speaking of which, does Third Sister-in-law know the Fourth Prince?"

Su Yue's heart moved. This was because the Fourth Prince came to her place. This Fourth Prince was really a nuisance. Su Yue said lightly, "Oh? From what my sister said, you know the Fourth Prince?"

Qin Yun laughed and said, "How could that be possible? How could a concubine like me have the chance to meet a prince?"

Su Yue felt relieved, “So that’s it.”

Qin Jiaojiao asked curiously, "Third sister-in-law, how did you know the Fourth Prince?"

Su Yue coughed lightly, "It was just a coincidence that I met him and saved him."

Qin Yun's eyes flashed, "I didn't expect that my third sister-in-law would have such an opportunity. Not everyone can see the Fourth Prince."

Su Yue didn't want to talk any more, so she said, "It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning."

The Qin Yun sisters chatted for a few more words and then left. Su Yue looked at their backs, thoughtful. It seemed that everyone in the mansion already knew about her and the Fourth Prince. She had to be more cautious in the future.

In her previous life, she was born in an ordinary small family, and it was really difficult for her to understand the intricacies of this big mansion. What happened between her and the fourth prince would not be considered a big deal in Su Yue's previous life. However, in front of her, Su Yue felt that if she was not careful, she would fall into an irreversible situation. Unfortunately, her CPU was not the memory of this time and space, so she had no idea how to deal with this situation.

Su Yue thought about it carefully, and finally decided that only Qin Yi could help her. So she turned to Taozi beside her and asked, "Has the Third Young Master come back at night these days?"

Taozi nodded and replied, "The Third Young Master comes back every night, and the place where he rests must be the study."

Su Yue looked suspicious and asked, "How did you know about this?"

Taozi smiled slightly and explained, "Xingyu has been practicing with Qiu Sheng recently, so he knows a thing or two about this matter."

Su Yue couldn't help but teased: "You do have the potential to be a gossip."

peach:"....."

Su Yue: "Please have someone guard the front yard. If the Third Young Master comes back, ask him to come over."

Taozi: "Miss, are you missing the Third Young Master?"

Su Yue: "Who gave you the courage to tease me?"

Taozi: "How dare I!" and then she went out.

Qin Yi came not long after Taozi left. Su Yue stood up and saluted, saying, "Third Young Master."

Qin Yi sat down on the couch leisurely, Taozi served tea and snacks respectfully and then quietly left. At this moment, Su Yue and Qin Yi were the only ones left in the room. Although Su Yue wanted Qin Yi to help her with some advice, she didn't know where to start. After hesitating for a long time, she finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Third Young Master, what would you like to eat tonight?"

Qin Yi responded with a smile: "My lady, please take care of the arrangements." Hearing this, Su Yue turned around and told Ding Xiang to set the table.

At dinner time, the kitchen served a steaming hot water basin of mutton, accompanied by boiled cabbage. At first, Su Yue was full of expectations for this so-called cabbage, thinking it would be some special delicacy. However, after tasting it, she found that it was just ordinary Chinese cabbage. In addition, there were shrimp, chives, vinegar celery and other dishes on the table, and the staple food was thousand-layer oil cake.

Su Yue was not very interested in pasta, she preferred rice. However, after nearly three months in Beijing, she still found it difficult to adapt to the pasta-based diet here. Every meal made her feel a little helpless, and she always missed the sweetness of rice in her heart.

Qin Yi adhered to the principle of not talking while eating, and his table manners were very good, but Su Yue thought it was a bit boring. She thought that when the family eats together at night, talking and communicating while eating is also a good opportunity for communication. But everyone just ate quietly, and the atmosphere always seemed a bit depressing.

After finally finishing the meal, Su Yue handed Qin Yi tea and said, "Third Young Master, have you heard about me saving the Fourth Prince?"

Qin Yi looked at Su Yue and replied, "I have heard of it, but I don't know the details."

So, Su Yue recounted in detail how she rescued the severely injured Fourth Prince on Baiyun Mountain, and emphasized that she had written an IOU and asked the Fourth Prince to press a handprint, and also took a jade pendant from him as collateral. Then, Su Yue asked Taozi to take out the jade pendant and show it to Qin Yi.

Su Yue thought to herself that she didn't care about the reward, she just hoped that there would be no trouble. She looked at Qin Yi expectantly, hoping to get useful advice from him.

Qin Yi looked at the dragon pattern on the jade pendant and said, "Didn't my wife see the jade pendant at that time?"

Su Yue: "I saw it, but didn't think too much about it. I just thought that the person I saved was a rich kid." Su Yue thought that it was mainly because she didn't understand the regulations of this era. She didn't think that the dragon pattern could only be used by people in the royal family. Moreover, she didn't realize that the pattern on it was a dragon pattern. If she had known at the time, no matter what she said, she would not show up.

Qin Yi looked at Su Yue in front of him and felt that his little wife had become smarter and bolder since she fell into the water, but she seemed to have lost all understanding of the rules and etiquette.

Qin Yi: "It's okay, your husband will take care of it, don't worry."

Su Yue looked out the window. It was already completely dark. She suddenly felt uneasy: Did Qin Yi really plan to stay here tonight? She had never thought of sleeping in the same bed with him! However, Qin Yi didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. He lazily leaned on the couch, concentrating on the book in his hand, and even took off his shoes.

Su Yue sighed helplessly and told Taozi to prepare some hot water for her to wash. She slowly lay down in the bathtub, feeling a little irritated, but embarrassed to directly ask to drive Qin Yi away. Forget it, it's just a matter of men and women. As an experienced aunt, how could she be afraid of a little puppy? Moreover, maybe when she finished washing, Qin Yi would have gone to the study in the front yard.

Su Yue returned to the bedroom. Qin Yi seemed to have washed up and was already sitting on the bed. Su Yue walked to the dressing table and sat down to do her skin care while watching Qin Yi out of the corner of her eyes. He seemed very natural, as if he had always slept here and didn't recognize the bed at all.

Su Yue wiped her face and combed her hair. There was really nothing to clean up so she could only go to bed. Qin Yi got up and let Su Yue sleep inside. Su Yue climbed onto the bed nervously, pulled the quilt over herself, and tried to stay away from Qin Yi.

She closed her eyes and prepared to fall asleep, but her heart was in a mess. Suddenly, she felt Qin Yi approaching her, and her heartbeat accelerated instantly. But Qin Yi just tucked the quilt for her gently, then said, "Good night." Then he turned around and lay down without any more actions.

Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little disappointed. She turned over, facing the wall, and tried to fall asleep. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Qin Yi whisper, "Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt." Su Yue's heart suddenly felt warm. She turned around, looked at Qin Yi's back, and whispered in the dark, "Thank you."

Su Yue thought she would not be able to sleep, but unexpectedly she fell asleep very quickly and had a dreamless night. When she woke up in the morning, Qin Yi was gone.
