Rebirth is not a dream.

This was Su Yue's first family dinner at the An Ning Marquis's mansion since she came to this strange world. It can be seen that the An Ning Marquis attaches great importance to her cousin! Almost all the family members came, even the Yang cousins ​​who came to stay for the Spring Examination some time ago. The cousin must have come to give the An Ning Marquis a generous gift, otherwise he would not have been treated so well. Men and women sat at separate tables, with an exquisite screen placed in the middle, cleverly separating the space on both sides. Su Yue sat quietly beside the eldest young lady and dined with everyone.

Throughout the banquet, except for the occasional sound of cups and plates colliding, there was almost no other sound. This dull atmosphere made Su Yue feel very depressed, and she couldn't help but think to herself: I should try to avoid attending such family banquets in the future, as they are really too boring.

In contrast, the men were occasionally talking. They were talking to their cousin about local customs or business matters. Although their voices were not loud, they added some life to the quiet occasion. Su Yue thought, maybe this is the difference between men and women. Women are always more inclined to be quiet and introverted, while men like to find fun in communication.

Su Yue originally wanted to continue chatting with her cousin and discuss some topics in depth, but she didn't expect that Su Mingyuan only took a short rest in the guest room, then got up and went to the main courtyard to bid farewell to Marquis An Ning, and prepared to return to Su Garden. His departure seemed so hasty that Su Yue was a little unprepared. Su Yue secretly speculated that Su Mingyuan didn't want to tell her what he had concealed from her, so he was deliberately avoiding her, and she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. After all, now only this cousin can solve her doubts. However, things have come to this point, and she can only accept this reality helplessly. Looking at Su Mingyuan's back gradually going away, Su Yue felt a faint melancholy in her heart.

However, as long as they stayed in the prosperous city of Kyoto, there would always be a chance for them to meet again. After all, they could no longer return to the world they were in, and Su Mingyuan was also involved with the Marquis' Mansion, so there was no need to worry about anything, there was still a long way to go!

After An Ning Hou sent Su Mingyuan away, he turned around and returned to Zhichun Courtyard. At this time, the Marquis's wife had just finished her lunch break and got up. When she saw the Marquis return, she quickly bowed to him and said softly, "My Lord Marquis..."

The Marquis nodded slightly in response, and strode to the couch and sat down. Meixiang then walked into the room, served tea, and then quietly left.

The Marquis's wife sat down on the other side of the small table and asked, "My Lord, why did you come here now? Is there anything you want to discuss with me?" The Marquis took a sip from the teacup, put it down, looked at the Marquis's wife, and asked calmly, "My Lord, do you know what Su Mingyuan said to my third daughter-in-law today?"

Madam Hou shook her head slightly and replied, "They were talking in Guanlan Pavilion, and there was no one around. Besides, it was not convenient to arrange servants to wait there. I just observed from a distance that they seemed to have had some disputes, but I don't know the specific content of the discussion."

The Marquis tapped the delicate table in front of him with his fingers, making a rhythmic sound. He slowly said, "Compared to the past, the third daughter-in-law is indeed different now! She even knows how to guard against others."

Madam Hou nodded slightly, expressing her agreement: "Yes, the current Third Daughter-in-law is really hard to understand, but fortunately her personality has become much more cheerful! And Sanlang seems to pay more attention to her and be more attentive to her."

The Marquis frowned slightly, and said with a hint of helplessness: "This marriage is indeed unfair to Sanlang. However, Madam, you should also be more careful and not cause any unnecessary troubles."

The Marquis's wife showed dissatisfaction and complained, "It's all your second brother's wife's fault! Your second brother and his wife are both troublesome! How do you want me to discipline them?"

The Marquis chuckled and consoled her: "If Madam wants to protect someone in this mansion, how can she not be able to do so?"

The Marquis's wife sighed and said helplessly, "But there are always some people with ulterior motives who want to harm others on purpose! I can't be on guard all day long! The key is that she has to rely on herself to be able to gain a foothold in the world, otherwise something will happen sooner or later. No matter how much I watch her, I can't stay by her side all the time!"

The Marquis looked at his wife lovingly and said softly, "Madam always has the best solutions. You have been my good helper for so many years!" His eyes were full of tenderness and gratitude.

The marquis' wife couldn't help but blush. She gently pushed the marquis' shoulder and said coquettishly, "Marquis, you just like to drug me, but I still know my own weight." Although her tone was a little humble, her eyes revealed confidence and satisfaction.

The Marquis smiled slightly, took his wife's hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it gently, and said: "Madam, you are too modest. If you were not by my side, helping me with advice and solving problems, how could I be so at ease?"

The blush on the Marquis's wife's face deepened. She lowered her head and said shyly, "My Lord, please don't try to fool me. I know how much I am capable of, but I'm not as capable as you say."

The Marquis held the Marquis's hand and said gently, "Madam, why are you so modest? Your ability is obvious to everyone. But the mansion has been uneasy recently, so you and I need to be careful."

The Marquis’s wife nodded and said, “Those people in the mansion had better not have any bad intentions, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude.”

The Marquis stood up and said, "It's getting late, I still have some things to deal with." Then he left Zhichun Courtyard. The Marquis's wife looked at the Marquis's back as he left, thinking that the Marquis's mansion should be properly rectified.

At night, Qin Yi returned to the main house. The house was brightly lit, and his eyes fell on Su Yue, who was leaning on the small couch and concentrating on reading. Qin Yi walked slowly to her side with light steps, and asked softly, "Madam, what book are you reading?"

Su Yue looked up when she heard the voice. Seeing that it was Qin Yi, she showed a hint of surprise on her face: "Hey, you're back! Where did the maids go? Why didn't anyone inform us?"

Qin Yi smiled and sat down next to Su Yue, explaining, "I asked them to go down and get busy first." Su Yue blinked and asked curiously, "They are my maids, why do they obey your orders so much?"

Qin Yi stretched out his hand, gently put his arm around Su Yue's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Madam, please don't be offended. Why should we be so clear about the differences between husband and wife?"

Su Yue pushed him coquettishly: "Oh, you are quite good at talking! Come on, is there anything you want to tell me?" Qin Yi's eyes flashed with cunning, and he deliberately sighed and said: "Well, it's nothing important, I just hope that my wife can care more about me as her husband."

Su Yue turned her head, stared into Qin Yi's eyes, and said firmly: "I don't care about you, why do you think so?"

Qin Yi looked at Su Yue seriously and asked, "Really? But why can't I feel it?"

Su Yue carefully moved her body to the side, muttering to herself that she really didn't want to continue talking to this little brat in front of her, saying these meaningless and meaningless words. So she casually said, "How was your chat with my cousin? Was it enjoyable?"

Qin Yi looked at Su Yue with a puzzled look on his face, and asked curiously: "Your cousin looks so young! How old is he?"

Su Yue shrugged helplessly and replied, "My cousin's uncle is not too old, so his son should be younger, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, I can't remember clearly. I just remember that we seemed to have grown up together when we were young, but since my mother passed away, I rarely have the chance to see him again. As for what he is doing now, it seems that he is following my dad...well, busy with business with my dad, I don't know the details. After all, I haven't seen him for many years." At this point, Su Yue's eyes revealed a hint of sadness.

Qin Yi: "Is your cousin also in Kyoto now?"

Su Yue blinked and said casually: "I don't know, I know nothing about him. It seems that he seldom comes to our house, or I haven't seen him very often. I don't have this memory."

She couldn't help but fall into deep thought, was it because the original owner had hit her head before, causing the missing fragments of her memory? This situation could not be explained by metaphysics. However, there was no modern medical equipment such as MRI available at the moment, so she had no way of knowing whether there was a problem with her brain. What was even more worrying was that she was not sure whether the doctors here were able to see the clues.

Qin Yi hugged Su Yue tightly from behind and said softly: Don't worry, this amnesia will gradually get better. Don't worry too much.

Su Yue responded anxiously: "Why don't we go find the imperial physician to take another look? I'm worried that I may have forgotten something important. I even seem to have a vague memory of some things that happened between me and my mother. This feeling is really terrible."

Qin Yi quickly comforted her: Don't worry, I will ask my third cousin to help find a skilled imperial physician to give you a thorough diagnosis.

Su Yue nodded in agreement: "Well, OK! I can't remember a lot of things. This won't work. Sometimes I might offend others for some reason without even knowing it."

Qin Yi gently patted Su Yue's shoulder and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, I will find a doctor to see you as soon as possible. You can rest assured and everything will be fine.

"Su Yue shook her head slightly and said calmly: "I'm not in a hurry. This situation has lasted for several months, and I'm slowly getting used to it. But you, what did you talk about with my cousin Su Mingyuan?"

Qin Yi: "Why are you so concerned about your cousin?" He deliberately emphasized the word "cousin", as if hinting at something.

Su Yue frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "I don't know why, I always feel that he and Dad seem to be hiding something from me. Every time I ask them, they are always vague, which makes me feel uneasy."

Qin Yi quickly explained: "My cousin is a man of great learning and talent. He knows everything from ancient times to the present. He is truly a man of great talent! We didn't talk about anything special. He just tested my knowledge. Also, he told me to treat you well, or I would be in trouble."

Su Yue heard this, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, but she soon regained her composure. She said lightly: "If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. I won't force you. I just hope you won't hide anything from me in the future. I'm tired, I'm going to sleep first." After that, she slowly turned around and walked to the bed.

Qin Yi looked at her back, with mixed emotions in his heart. Qin Yi also lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and prepared to fall asleep.

Now, Su Yue has gradually gotten used to sleeping in the same bed with Qin Yi. And with Qin Yi by her side, it seems that he can really ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters. The number of nightmares she has also significantly decreased.
