Rebirth is not a dream.

Chapter 94: Encountering the Man in Black Again

Su Yue and Wang Xinxuan slowly returned to the mansion in a carriage. Perhaps because they were too tired from wandering in the garden, neither of them had the mood to talk at this time. They leaned against the inner wall of the carriage, closed their eyes slightly, and took a short rest.

Su Yue thought to herself: This gathering was quite ordinary, and nothing unusual happened. I originally thought that people in ancient times always liked to make trouble out of nothing, but now it seems that everyone just wants to live a stable and peaceful life. Just as Su Yue was vaguely sighing about the peace in the world, the carriage suddenly shook violently, and then a black shadow broke into the carriage like a ghost.

After Qiu Zhu came to his senses, he quickly stepped forward and protected Su Yue tightly behind him. At the same time, Ao Shuang, who was beside the eldest young lady, was terrified and couldn't help but let out a sharp and piercing scream. The man in black was wearing a black robe and a veil on his face, revealing only a pair of cold and ruthless eyes. He stared at Ao Shuang fiercely and said sternly: "Shut up! If you dare to yell again, I will cut your face!"

Wang Xinxuan and Ao Shuang were so frightened that their faces turned pale as paper, they trembled all over, and hugged each other tightly. But Su Yue was unusually calm. She quietly watched everything that happened in front of her, and even slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile. She couldn't help but feel that it was a little funny, especially when she saw the angry and frustrated robber. Suddenly, a sentence said by the two robbers in the movie "A World Without Thieves" emerged in her mind: "What are you laughing at? They are robbing people!" It was probably said like this, but she couldn't remember the specific details.

As time went by, she found herself drifting away from the world of her past life. The people and events that were once familiar to her now became increasingly blurred in her memory. It was as if a veil was shrouding the past, making it difficult for her to recall every detail clearly. This feeling was both strange and unsettling, as if she was gradually losing touch with the past. She was gradually forgetting the past, and she had no memory of the present life...

Not long ago, Su Yue thought that these ancient noble families were quite safe and reliable, but reality gave her a loud slap in the face so quickly. She couldn't help but feel helpless, wondering why she always encountered such things? What made her even more speechless was that these robbers could easily get into the carriage every time, as if they knew their whereabouts very well.

Qiuzhu was protecting the young lady while watching Taozi to see if she could find someone to help her. Lanzhi, another maid of Wang Xinxuan, said, “Who are you? Do you know who we are?”

"I don't care who you are!" The man in black had a flash of disdain in his eyes, "Hand over all the valuables on you!"

Su Yue sneered, “Do you think we would take a carriage with valuables?”

"Stop talking nonsense!" The man in black said in a cold tone, obviously unwilling to say anything more, and stretched out his hand to grab Wang Xinxuan. Wang Xinxuan was terrified, seeing the hideous face like an evil ghost getting closer and closer, she rolled her eyes in fear and fainted on the spot.

Su Yue was stunned, not knowing how to react. She was surprised that Wang Xinxuan was so timid, and she was afraid of the fierce bandit. When she turned to look at the bandit, she suddenly felt that he looked familiar. Especially those eyes, Su Yue felt very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

Just as Su Yue was puzzled, she finally realized that the person in front of her was actually the Fourth Prince! Su Yue was very familiar with the look in his eyes that was very similar to Lu Ming's. However, she really couldn't understand why a noble prince would dress up as a robber? Was there some hidden secret?

At this moment, the fourth prince quickly took action and knocked Wang Xinxuan's two maids unconscious with his hand knife. Then, he turned around and sat on the seat, looking directly at Su Yue, and said in a deep voice: "Please send me into the city, Madam Su."

Su Yue calmly picked up the teacup on the tea table, took a sip, and replied lightly: "Why should I help a thief?" The fourth prince raised his lips slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile, and said softly: "Didn't Madam Su recognize me?"

Su Yue's expression remained unchanged. She shook her head and denied, "I don't know you. Please don't talk nonsense, lest you ruin my good reputation." Her words revealed a firmness and determination.

The Fourth Prince seemed to want to take off his mask, but Su Yue quickly raised her hand to stop him, and said softly: "Sir, please keep it on." The Fourth Prince stared at Su Yue and responded firmly: "Don't worry, just enter the city. With Madam Su's ability, this is not a difficult task. Besides, if you ride in the carriage of the An Ning Marquis's Mansion, generally no one will come to check you."

Su Yue was puzzled and asked, "Will someone really come to check? The An Ning Marquis's Mansion shouldn't be that special, right?" The fourth prince smiled and replied calmly, "The person guarding the city is Qin Jin." Hearing this name, Su Yue's heart sank. She really didn't want to get involved in this dispute. However, things had come to this point, and she had no power to resist, so she could only obey helplessly.

At this moment, the Fourth Prince was still discussing with her, which was a rare respect for Su Yue. Su Yue sighed softly and told the maid beside her: "Taozi, I'm a little tired. Wake me up when we get there." After saying that, she pretended to fall asleep and closed her eyes.

Su Yue felt that it didn't take so long to get here, but why hadn't she reached the city gate yet? Just as she was puzzled, the Fourth Prince suddenly said, "I'm out strolling around now, and I don't want others to know that I've returned."

Hearing this, Su Yue couldn't help but ponder secretly. After all, in the morning, the Fourth Prince was still in Princess Deyuan's villa, and there must be quite a few people who have seen him. Now he is trying to cover it up, which is really a bit of an attempt to cover up. However, Su Yue had no interest in the royal family affairs, and was too lazy to listen.

Then, the fourth prince continued, "Everyone thought that I would go to the Jiangnan area after leaving the villa." Hearing this, Su Yue almost couldn't help rolling her eyes. She thought to herself that she didn't care about these things at all. The fourth prince cast his eyes on the black jade hairpin on Su Yue's head and asked, "Can I take a look at the black jade hairpin in your hand?"

Su Yue felt a little annoyed, but she still reluctantly took off the hairpin and handed it to the Fourth Prince. At the same time, she secretly prayed that she could reach the city gate as soon as possible so that the troublesome Fourth Prince would disappear as soon as possible. The Fourth Prince stared at the exquisite patterns on the hairpin, and a strange feeling surged in his heart. These patterns were exactly the same as the hairpin worn by the girl in a portrait he had accidentally seen in his father's study, which made him wonder if the two were the same item.

After viewing it, the Fourth Prince carefully returned the hairpin to Su Yue and asked, "Madam Su, this hairpin is really unique. Where did you buy it from?"

Su Yue took the hairpin and stroked it gently, a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, and she replied: "This hairpin was given to me by my mother."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince continued to ask, "Then may I know where your mother bought this hairpin?"

Su Yue shook her head slightly and said softly, "My mother never mentioned where she bought it. She only said that it was a birthday gift from her great-grandfather and was passed down as a family heirloom."

The Fourth Prince nodded thoughtfully, and then made another request: "In this case, could you please ask Madam Su to ask your mother how your great-grandfather found this hairpin?"

However, Su Yue's face suddenly became heavy. She raised her head, her eyes revealing a trace of sadness and helplessness, and replied: "Your Excellency may have to go to the underworld to ask the King of Hell for advice, because my mother has passed away for many years, and I have no way to ask."

The Fourth Prince did not seem to have expected this answer. He was stunned for a moment, then realized that his question was a little inappropriate, and quickly explained: "Madam Su, please don't blame me. I didn't mean to offend you. It's just that this hairpin really aroused my interest, and I asked a few more questions in a moment of eagerness. Could it be that Madam Su is dissatisfied with me because of this?"

Su Yue gently lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked toward the towering city gate in the distance. An indescribable joy welled up in her heart: "We're finally here!" This meant that she would no longer have to share a room with that troublesome god.

It seemed that nothing good happened every time she met this person, but now she could finally get rid of him. Su Yue secretly rejoiced, and at the same time turned her eyes to the eldest young lady and her two servants who had fainted in the car. Faced with such a situation, she couldn't help but feel a little at a loss.

Fortunately, when the carriage entered the city, the fourth prince who had been bothering them disappeared as expected. Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe everything would go smoothly after entering the city.

Then, Su Yue turned to Qiu Zhu beside her and whispered, "Knock me and Taozi out too." She knew that she might face all kinds of troubles after returning to the mansion, and it was wise to pretend to be unconscious at this moment. After all, it is better to avoid disputes as much as possible.
