Rebirth is not a dream.

Su Yue and her servant returned to Su Garden. Butler Liu looked at the haggard, embarrassed, and wounded young lady in front of him in surprise. Qiu Zhu and Tao Zi were also embarrassed and injured. What happened to the three of them? The young lady actually returned on the night of the Lantern Festival, and in such a state.

Under the moonlight, Su Yue looked particularly thin and fragile. Her hair was messy, and her clothes were stained with dust and stains, as if she had experienced a fierce storm. Butler Liu felt distressed, but more of it was confusion and worry.

He hurried forward and asked with a worried look on his face, "Miss! What happened to you? What happened to make you so miserable?"

Taozi looked at Butler Liu with horror and replied in a trembling voice, "We almost never saw you again! We were held hostage by a group of mysterious men in black. If the horse hadn't suddenly gotten scared and ran away, I'm afraid we wouldn't know where we would have been taken to!"

After hearing this, Butler Liu frowned and asked solemnly, "How could this happen? Who are these men in black?"

At this time, Su Yue, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke: "Butler Liu, what happened today was too thrilling. Taozi and I are exhausted both physically and mentally. If there are any problems, let's wait until tomorrow to discuss them. Now everyone needs to have a good rest."

Seeing this, Butler Liu could not ask any more questions, so he could only nod and said, "Okay, Miss, you should go and rest quickly. I will send more people to protect Su Yuan's safety. Taozi, help Miss back to her room. Qiuzhu, come with me and tell me in detail what happened tonight."

Taozi supported Su Yue and walked towards the room. Su Yue's steps seemed a little heavy, as if she was carrying a heavy burden. She looked back at Butler Liu and Qiu Zhu, and a trace of fatigue and helplessness flashed in her eyes.

After entering the room, Su Yue lay on the bed tiredly, but her thoughts were surging like the tide. She closed her eyes, and the experience of tonight kept flashing in her mind like a movie scene. At first, everything was normal, going out of the house, guessing lantern riddles... However, since the flood, everything has become confusing.

First, they were separated from Qin Yi, and then they encountered a mysterious man in black. Are all these connected? Is it just a coincidence, or a carefully planned conspiracy? If it wasn't because they frightened the horse, what would be waiting for them at the Tongtuofang?

And that Lu Anruo seemed to give people an unfathomable feeling. Compared with Aunt Cheng, he might be a bigger trouble. Su Yue's mind was in a mess. Sometimes she felt that all this was just an accumulation of accidental events, and sometimes she couldn't help but suspect that there was some conspiracy hidden in it.

She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. All kinds of questions lingered in her mind, making her feel extremely confused and scared. What kind of truth was hidden behind this seemingly peaceful night? She couldn't figure it out, and it gave her a headache. She couldn't think too much, and she got a headache when she thought about it. She didn't know if it was the sequelae of the head injury, or the psychological reflection of her confusion. In short, it was a headache.

Qiu Zhu and Butler Liu hurried into the study. Su Mingyuan was standing in front of the desk with his hands behind his back, frowning and looking serious. When he saw them coming in, he stared at the two of them with a sharp gaze and asked in a low voice, "What happened tonight? Why was Yue'er injured?"

Qiu Zhu's face was pale, with a look of panic and helplessness in her eyes. She lowered her head and replied softly, "Master Yuan, I really don't know what happened tonight. Moreover, the secret guards who had been following the young lady did not show up. If it weren't for the chance encounter of the Fourth Prince killing the galloping horse, the consequences would have been disastrous..." Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was still in fear.

Su Mingyuan's face became increasingly gloomy. He clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, "Damn it! Yue'er was put in such danger... Why didn't the secret guard protect her in time?" His heart was filled with anger and worry. He would never allow any negligence regarding his sister's safety.

Qiu Zhu lowered his head and said nothing, looking somewhat guilty. Seeing this, Butler Liu quickly explained, "Master Yuan, please calm down. Perhaps there is something else going on. I will give you an explanation after I find out the truth."

Su Mingyuan took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions. He knew that getting angry at this moment would not help. The most urgent thing was to find out the whole story and ensure Yue'er's safety. He looked at Butler Liu firmly and ordered: "Be sure to thoroughly investigate this matter and find out the mastermind! I will never allow anyone to hurt Yue'er!"

Butler Liu nodded respectfully and said, "As you command, I will do my best and live up to your trust." After saying that, he turned and left, ready to begin his investigation.

Su Mingyuan's eyes stayed on Qiu Zhu the whole time. He warned in a serious tone: "Qiu Zhu, from now on, you must always stay with Yue Er and not leave her side. If something like this happens again, I will never let you off easily!"

Qiu Zhu nodded hurriedly and promised: "Master Yuan, rest assured, I will do my best to take good care of the young lady, please rest assured."

Su Mingyuan nodded slightly to show his approval. He was still concerned about his sister's injury, but he knew that he had to stay calm and not be swayed by his emotions. He decided to visit Yue'er in person to find out her specific situation. So he took a step and walked towards Su Yue's room.

At this moment, Su Yue sat quietly in the spacious bathtub, the warm water wrapped around her body, soothing every pain in her body. She gently closed her eyes, trying to relax herself and stop thinking about what happened at night, especially Qin Yi, the person who upset her.

Su Yue wondered in her heart, what's wrong with her? She is not an innocent little girl. In her previous life, she had experienced many major events in life, such as marriage and childbirth. Could she still be upset because of a little boy? Maybe she really shouldn't care too much about him... Just as Su Yue was thinking about it, Taozi walked in and said softly, "Miss, Uncle Yuan is here."

Su Yue opened her eyes in surprise: "Uncle? Why are you here so late?"

Taozi replied, "I think your uncle is worried about your safety and came to visit you." Hearing this, Su Yue felt a warm current in her heart. Although she acted as if nothing had happened, she was very grateful for her uncle's concern in her heart.

Su Yue put on her clothes and walked back into the house slowly. She saw her cousin sitting quietly beside the small table, as if thinking about something. When Su Mingyuan saw Su Yue limping into the room, he immediately stood up and asked with concern: "Yue'er, how are you? Are you seriously injured?"

Su Yue smiled slightly, trying to reassure him: "It's just that I sprained my ankle accidentally, it's no big deal." However, while they were talking, Butler Liu suddenly announced outside the door: "The imperial physician is here."

Su Yue was suspicious. She had never invited an imperial physician, so who could have invited one? Could it be... the Fourth Prince? This thought flashed through her mind, but she didn't show it. She just looked at the door quietly, waiting for the imperial physician to arrive.

The one who came hurriedly was Doctor Zhang, who was best at treating external injuries. The doctor carefully examined Su Yue and found that except for the foot injury, other parts of her body were only slightly bruised and nothing serious. However, because she was a little frightened, she needed to be prescribed some soothing medicine. Taozi heard this and hurried to boil the medicine. Su Yue looked at her uncle and said softly, "Uncle, look, I really don't have any serious problems. The doctor also said that I'm fine. You don't have to worry too much."

Su Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and responded, "I'm glad you're fine. Then why didn't Qin Yi come with you? And why was it the imperial physician that the Fourth Prince invited for you?"

Su Yue explained: "The streets were too chaotic and we accidentally got separated. The Fourth Prince happened to pass by and he kindly called the imperial physician for me."

Su Mingyuan nodded to show that he understood, and then comforted him: "After you finish taking the medicine, take a good rest. Your cousin will definitely investigate what happened tonight, so you can rest assured."

Su Yue smiled and replied: "Okay, Yue'er believes in uncle."
