Rebirth is not a dream.

Su Yue returned to Yunxiao Courtyard and lay on the bed exhausted. She recalled everything that happened in Zhichun Courtyard today and felt that the hearts of the people in the Marquis' Mansion were deep and unpredictable.

Su Yue thought that there was no difference between going to pay respects today and the past. The Marquis's wife still ignored her as if she didn't exist; the eldest young lady also neglected her as usual, with a cold and distant attitude; as for the two sisters-in-law, they treated her coldly and unfriendly as usual. However, surprisingly, today the Seventh Miss did not ridicule and mock her as she did in the past. Su Yue couldn't help but think to herself: Could it be that the Marquis's mansion felt guilty because of my falling into the water last time? So they deliberately restrained everyone in the mansion and didn't allow them to openly target me again. Thinking of this, Su Yue felt a little relieved, but at the same time she couldn't help but feel a little confused - is there any other reason hidden in this? After all, judging from the Seventh Miss's past temperament, such abnormal behavior is really a bit strange. But in any case, for Su Yue, being able to temporarily avoid the Seventh Miss's verbal attacks at this moment is a rare peaceful time.

At this time, Aunt Tao came in and asked with concern, "Miss, did you greet everyone smoothly today?"

Su Yue told Aunt Tao what happened. After listening, Aunt Tao sighed and said, "This second lady is really greedy. Fortunately, Miss was smart and didn't let her succeed. However, we can't take it lightly and need to be more vigilant in the future."

Su Yue nodded and said, "I understand, Mammy. By the way, have you got any results from the investigation I asked you to do before?"

Aunt Tao shook her head. "Not yet, but I will continue to investigate. Don't worry, Miss. As long as there is a clue, I will tell you as soon as possible."

Su Yue looked at Madam Tao gratefully and said, "I feel much more at ease with Madam here."

Just as Su Yue was about to continue to analyze the possibility of falling into the water with Aunt Tao, suddenly, Qin Yi walked in from outside. Su Yue couldn't help but wonder why no one came to inform her. Just as she was about to ask, Taozi followed Qin Yi out and bowed to Su Yue and said, "Miss, the third young master is here."

Hearing this, Su Yue thought to herself, this person has already entered the room, and you are telling me now. Has his cheap husband found out the truth?

Qin Yi entered the room and sat on the couch. Taozi had just served him tea when Qiu Zhu walked into the room and shouted, "Miss, Aunt Cheng and Concubine Zhang are here with the young master and young lady to pay their respects to you!"

Su Yue hadn't recovered from Qin Yi's sudden arrival yet. She asked with a look of suspicion on her face, "Who wants to pay his respects?" This series of events overwhelmed her and she was confused for a moment.

"Who else could it be? Of course it's Aunt Cheng and Concubine Zhang." Qiu Zhu said anxiously, "Miss, please go and check it out quickly, lest you keep them waiting for too long, Aunt Cheng will start making trouble again."

Before Qiu Zhu finished speaking, Su Yue glanced at Qin Yi. Seeing that he had no reaction, she thought to herself: These are all your women. What does it have to do with me? I have to deal with them. It's really a headache! Not only are there concubines, concubines' sons, but also concubines' daughters. There are no shortage of them! What a mess every day!

Su Yue glanced at Qin Yi, who was like a master, and had no intention of moving. She sighed helplessly and slowly stood up with the help of Qiu Zhu. She simply packed up and came to the front hall.

When Aunt Cheng and Concubine Zhang saw Su Yue coming out, they stood up and bowed. The children behind them also followed suit.

"Meet the Third Young Lady."

"Get up." Su Yue responded calmly, and then turned her eyes to the two children. The boy was only about one or two years old, and the girl was still in her infancy.

Su Yue stared at Concubine Zhang and slowly asked, "Why do you want to bring such a young child outside? Shouldn't he stay in his own yard and be taken care of?"

Concubine Zhang seemed a little nervous. She quickly explained, "My sister just turned one month old a few days ago, but at that time, Grandma was not feeling well and could not come to pay respects. So today, taking advantage of the good weather and Grandma's good health, I specially brought my sister to pay respects to Grandma."

Su Yue nodded slightly, accepting Concubine Zhang's explanation. She looked at the cute little baby girl and couldn't help but feel a little pity for her.

At this time, Aunt Cheng interrupted with a smile: "Madam San Shao, look how cute this child is. He looks a bit like you."

Su Yue frowned slightly, thinking to herself, "This child has no blood relationship with me, how could she look like me? If I said this to Mr. Qin San, it might be reasonable, but now that she said it to me, isn't it like flattering the horse? It seems that Aunt Cheng came here on purpose to make things difficult for me!" However, she still responded calmly on the surface, "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that 'daughters resemble their fathers'. When the child grows up, you can take her to see her father more often."

Aunt Cheng seemed to be hesitant to speak, and Su Yue couldn't help feeling annoyed when she saw this, so her face turned cold and she said impatiently: "Okay, I feel a little exhausted at the moment, and I need to go back to my room to rest. If you have nothing else to do, just go back and take care of the children as soon as possible."

Aunt Cheng and Concubine Zhang looked at each other, obviously having something else to say, but seeing Su Yue's cold attitude, they had no choice but to say goodbye to Su Yue with the children and leave.

After they left, Su Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief. She rubbed her temples and sighed secretly: Life in this marquis's mansion is really not easy.

When she returned to the inner room, she saw Qin Yi leaning on the couch leisurely, concentrating on reading a book. In his hand, he was holding the Anguo Law Code that she had read the day before yesterday. Su Yue was surprised and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and wondered: What on earth is this young master doing here?

She sat down at the small table and asked straight to the point, "Did Third Young Master find out who wanted to harm me?"

Qin Yi's eyes were still fixed on the page of the book. Without raising his head, he responded calmly, "Maybe it was just an accident. We didn't find the person you mentioned."

"Haha," Su Yue heard this and showed impatience, "What's the matter with the Third Young Master coming here?"

Qin Yi put down the book and looked at Su Yue, "I came here to tell you that things are not going well in the mansion recently, so you should be careful."

Su Yue sneered, "I've died once, I've seen through it."

Qin Yi stood up and walked to Su Yue. “No matter what, since you have married into the Marquis’ Mansion, you are a member of my Qin family. I will protect you.”

Su Yue looked up at Qin Yi, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she regained her composure, "Thank you for your kindness, Third Young Master, but if you want me to be safe, I think a divorce is best. I don't need your protection."

Qin Yi frowned slightly, "Su Yue, don't be stubborn, I really want to help you."

Su Yue: "No need, I can protect myself. Also, if you don't have anything to do in the future, Third Young Master should not come to me too often." After saying that, Su Yue turned around and left the room.

Qin Yi looked at her back as she walked away, and sighed helplessly in his heart. Su Yue's temper had become so bad. His eyes slowly moved to the code in front of him, thinking that Su Yue really wanted to leave the Marquis' Mansion. However, how could a marriage granted by the emperor be easily divorced? Moreover, the people in this Marquis' Mansion could even abandon their own son, so how could they care about Su Yue? Qin Yi shook his head helplessly, got up from the couch, slowly walked to the study, and continued to read.
