Rebirth is not a dream.

Chapter 98 Recognition of relatives

The sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, Su Yue was sitting quietly in the yard watching Fu Bao playing. She had a smile on her face, her eyes gently following the child's every move, as if the whole world was left with only this warm scene.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Su Yue, breaking the tranquility. It turned out to be Madam He who was beside the old lady. She came forward, bowed to Su Yue, and said respectfully: "Madam, the old lady invites you to Chunhui Courtyard for a chat."

Su Yue was slightly stunned, but then stood up, smiled and nodded in response: "Thank you, Madam. I'll change my clothes and come over."

Madam He: "Then Third Young Madam, please hurry up, we have a distinguished guest arriving today."

Su Yue thought to herself, not knowing why the old lady had summoned her at this moment, so she asked Chenxiang to change her into a slightly more dignified outfit. Although the old lady did not treat her coldly like the second lady, she was exactly the same as the Marquis's wife, indifferent to her and watching from the sidelines, but she was just doing her surface work flawlessly. The old lady and the Marquis's wife were really a family of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and their ways of doing things were quite similar.

Su Yue changed into a blue dress, took Taozi with her, and walked towards Chunhui Courtyard with Madam He. Taozi stuffed a purse into Madam He's hand and asked in a low voice, "What distinguished guest is visiting your house today?"

Nanny He: "It's the second aunt's son who brought his brother here."

Taozi: "Which second aunt? Is it the second daughter of the third room? Her son is only two years old!"

Nanny He: "He is the son of the second daughter of the old Duke."

Su Yue thought for a moment, and then she suddenly realized that Nanny He was talking about the son of the late Concubine Qin, the third prince. It was really puzzling why this old nanny spoke so roundaboutly.

After Su Yue entered Chunhui Courtyard, she slowly walked towards the main hall. She originally thought that only a few people would be here, but surprisingly, most of the people in the mansion were gathered here. What was even more unexpected for her was that Marquis An Ning, who was always busy in the military camp, was also here at this moment. This scene made Su Yue wonder: What happened that attracted so many people to gather here, and even Marquis An Ning came back specially?

After Su Yue came forward and greeted, she swept her eyes around the people present, and finally stopped at the young man in brocade clothes who was about the same age as the Fourth Prince. She nodded slightly, then sat down quietly beside Qin Yi and asked in a low voice: "Is there anything going on?" Before Qin Yi could answer, the old lady spoke first: "Su, these two are the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince. They came here today to ask you something important."

Su Yue's eyes fell on the young man in brocade clothes again, and she thought to herself that he was the third prince. For some reason, she always felt that the third prince looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before. Just as she was thinking hard, the third prince broke the silence first: "May I ask if you are the one who stood on the edge of the cliff?"

Su Yue was at a loss when she heard this. Standing on the edge of a cliff? When and where? She thought hard for a long time, and finally realized it. Wasn't this the experience when she ran to the top of the mountain alone and stood on the edge of the cliff when she was in a bad mood in Baiyun Temple? It turned out that the boy who thought she was going to commit suicide was actually the third prince in front of her. This world is too small, isn't it? Is it really as people say that you can meet old friends everywhere in life?

Su Yue: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect you to be a prince! Thank you for the kind-hearted Third Prince's help. I have no intention of committing suicide, so please don't worry."

The third prince looked embarrassed and said apologetically, "I am really sorry. I misunderstood that day. I hope my lady won't blame me."

Su Yue smiled slightly, indicating that she didn't care, and thought to herself: "How can I blame the prince? But this third prince is born with a handsome and elegant appearance."

She couldn't help but take a few more glances. He was as tall as a pine tree, with a handsome face and a heroic look between his sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. His every move showed his elegant temperament. Especially his deep and bright eyes, which seemed to contain endless wisdom and gentleness. Su Yue sighed in her heart, the third prince was really good-looking. If he had entered a certain circle in his previous life, he would have been a top-tier guy!

The Fourth Prince was surprised. He had never expected that his Third Brother would actually meet Lady Su. He could not help but sigh at the wonderful arrangement of fate. He turned to look at Su Yue, chuckled and said, "Cousin, it seems that all this is destined!"

When Su Yue heard this, her face turned slightly cold, and she responded in a firm tone: "Please don't make random attempts to marry, Fourth Prince. I am of low status and I dare not marry into a higher class." She thought to herself, she was just the daughter of an ordinary merchant, how could she be related to the royal family.

Qin Jiaojiao stood aside, watching the scene in front of her, and she was more and more unbelievable. She couldn't accept Su Yue's good luck. How could an ordinary merchant girl become the daughter of a princess overnight? So, she couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Yes, what the third sister-in-law said is very true. The fourth prince should not recognize the wrong relative."

Seeing Qin Jiaojiao's rude words, the Marquis's wife quickly scolded her, "Jiaojiao, don't be rude!" However, the Fourth Prince did not take Qin Jiaojiao's words to heart. He smiled and continued, "I specially brought Nanny Chun today. She used to be a servant of Aunt Mingzhao's palace. My cousin looks very similar to Aunt Mingzhao. Even people who have seen Aunt Mingzhao will be able to recognize you at a glance. You are Aunt Mingzhao's biological daughter."

Su Yue was confused. She couldn't figure out what benefit it would bring to the Fourth Prince to admit that he was the daughter of a missing princess. Su Yue knew nothing about this, but she was clearly aware that this would bring her endless troubles.

At this time, an old maid came in. She first bowed to everyone present, then cast her eyes on Su Yue and said softly, "Madam Su, you really look like Princess Ming Zhao when she was young."

Hearing this, Su Yue couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then responded: "Does the Third Prince think so too?"

The Third Prince hesitated for a moment and replied, "Actually, I'm not sure if I've ever met Princess Ming Zhao. But that hairpin... I seem to have seen a copy of it somewhere, and it's very similar to the one in Madam Su's hand."

Su Yue frowned even more. She felt that these people were too arbitrary to be so sure that the hairpin in her hand was the one they said just based on a hairpin. So, she retorted: "Just based on a hairpin, how can you be so sure that the hairpin I have is the one you said? This is too rash!"

At this time, the entire An Ning Marquis's mansion was silent, and no one spoke. Perhaps because of the presence of the two princes, the second wife, who usually loved to show off, was also unusually quiet today. The third prince turned his gaze to An Ning Marquis and asked, "The Marquis and the old lady must have met Princess Ming Zhao, right?"

Su Yue's eyes also looked at the Marquis and the old lady along with the Third Prince. She suddenly remembered that her marriage with Qin Yi was facilitated by the old Duke. So, did the old Duke know some secrets about all this? Thinking about it, Su Yue's doubts became more and more serious.
