The daughter of a noble family is reborn, and she is doted on by her godmother.

Yun Qingjin had actually overheard the entire conversation between the three. But how could a five-year-old possibly understand such things? So she started by asking some trivial questions.

It wasn't something I did on purpose, but it was definitely an unexpected bonus.

Unexpectedly, the "gossip" that I had just remembered from the storyteller years ago turned out to be almost exactly what the storyteller had investigated and guessed.

That storyteller is amazing! He managed to find out so much all by himself. It's a real shame that someone with that kind of ability is just a lowly storyteller.

It turns out that behind the events recorded in that edict of self-reproach, there were actually so many people working hard to clear their names.

Now that I've been reborn, I can't just do nothing.

When Yun Yuke and Yuan Chen heard Yun Qingjin asking these questions, they didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Sigh...this..." Yun Yuke remained silent, leaving the interpretation to Yuan Chen, the person involved, to decide.

"It's about Chenchen's parents, the kind of thing that happens between adults..." Yuan Chen thought for a moment and felt that there wasn't much she couldn't say, since Yun Qingjin was family after all.

"Qingqing, do you still remember the question you asked me today? My sister's family are the thieves in that question, and behind them, who knows who is the usurper of the country... I can only curse that person from afar, may they not live too short, and may they be abandoned by everyone and suffer sleepless nights while they are still alive!"

In the past, Yuan Chen didn't know her family's situation and didn't live very comfortably. Now that she knows her family's situation, she needs to adjust her mindset.

Yun Qingjin looked at the girl in front of her and thought to herself:

Based on what the Empress Dowager experienced, Yuan Chen's curse was arguably half fulfilled. After all, according to the Empress Dowager's edict of self-reproach, she had indeed "lost all support" in order to allow her son to ascend to a high position. As for the part about her being unable to eat or sleep...

That might not be quite right. In my past life, I had the opportunity to see the Empress Dowager from afar once, and she seemed quite prosperous.

"Don't be sad, Sister Chenchen. Teacher Zhu said that everything has a cause and effect. I'll help you gently!"

“Okay, little Qingqing,” Yuan Chen said with a smile, tucking Yun Qingjin back into the blankets. “But you need to sleep now. You’ve been out in the cold for so long, don’t catch a cold.”

Seeing Yuan Chen cheer up, Yun Yuke was truly happy.

"Okay, Qingqing will rest now!"

Before going to sleep, Yun Qingjin thought of something else.

“Mother, there’s something I haven’t told you. I had a dream a few days ago… I don’t know if I should tell you… it was a little scary.”

After thinking for a moment, Yun Qingjin decided to use what she saw in her dream as a starting point.

Although I haven't seen them in the capital, if they really only learned about these things after the edict of self-reproach, then what awaits Sister Yuanchen might be another trap set by the Emperor. According to what Marquis Changxing said in my previous life, they will probably shut Sister Yuanchen up.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, dreams are all fake."

Yun Yuke patted the child gently, trying to calm him down.

"Yes, Qingqing knows, but Qingqing still wants to tell Mother and Sister Chenchen. In the dream, Sister Chenchen seemed a little older than she is now? But she was still just as beautiful. It's just that Sister Chenchen seemed to be very upset. Her hair wasn't combed up, and she was wearing only a thin dress. Mother was comforting her, but Qingqing seemed to keep crying and shaking her head, and then... she jumped off the cliff and left."

I made up a scenario on the spot, and it felt pretty much in line with Yuan Chen's personality. Making the other person shut up… Based on my understanding of Changxing Hou's speech, I guess it might not be a direct murder, but rather a form of indirect torture.

Upon hearing that she was the protagonist of this dream and that she still seemed deeply affected, Yuan Chen couldn't help but smile and comfort the child, "It's alright, it's alright. Your sister wouldn't do such a thing so easily. Don't worry. Now, my purpose in living is to witness the day when my family's injustice is redressed."

Yun Yuke was shocked when she heard this.

The dream I had so gently resembled my own dreams so strikingly. Could it be that these prophetic dreams really exist?

But looking at Yuan Chen's appearance, it seems that she would have been like this before today's events, but after today's events... she seems to have figured things out a lot now, and the expression on her face has changed slightly. She is not as prone to melancholy as before. Is it because of the events of the past two days that she has changed?

"Mother? What's wrong?" Yun Qingjin felt that Yun Yuke's behavior was a bit strange, while Yuan Chen's reaction was like a normal shock after hearing such a thing.

Yun Yuke raised her head again, her expression now composed.

"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing. Mother was a little scared when she heard that. You two are both important family members of mine. Of course I'm worried if anything happens to you."

I can't let them know that I've had similar dreams before. I'm already strange enough; I can't add any more strange elements.

"Alright, alright, Mommy knows. To prevent your sister Chenchen from doing anything wrong in the future, you and Mommy will keep a close eye on your sister Yuanchen, okay?"

Yuan Chen said helplessly, "Sister Yun, I told you I wouldn't do anything foolish."

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely keep a close eye on Sister Chenchen!"

"I told you I wouldn't do anything stupid!"

Early the next morning.

Although the unexpected situation disrupted the rhythm of life in the Yun family to some extent, the people in the mansion believed that Boss Yun was capable of controlling everything, so they naturally did not panic.

The situation at Yunfu has temporarily returned to normal.

There are no other developments at the county government office for the time being. It seems that Magistrate Sun still has some things he hasn't figured out yet, and there are no other unusual developments for the time being.

The changes in Miss Yuanchen were visible to everyone in the manor: she looked noticeably more energetic and vibrant.

At this moment, she is rousing herself, organizing the accounts of various shops, and getting things back on track.

Meanwhile, on Yun Qingjin's side...

The excuse from the dream was quite good; at least it reminded Yun Yuan and the other person to be careful in the future. However, there will be many difficulties ahead, so they still need to carefully consider their excuses.

For example, if Yun Qingjin has a good impression, there are at least a few things that can be prepared in advance.

Unfortunately, I lived in a daze in my previous life. Although I did experience those disasters, I really didn't know which year or month it was or how to prepare.

"...Do not miss the opportune time; those who are seventy years old can wear silk."

Teacher Zhu still came to class on time, and since they had agreed to rest once every ten days, neither of them changed their minds.

"Teacher Zhu, I'd like to ask a question. I'm a little curious about the text here. What does '勿失其时' mean? It means don't miss the right opportunity, but what exactly is the right opportunity?"

Zhu Ling put down the book in his hand, somewhat embarrassed. "This means that everything has its own time and way. As for the specifics, I'm sorry, Teacher Zhu only knows the 'what' but not the 'why.' I really can't explain it in detail."

"Ah, I'm sorry, Teacher Zhu." Yun Qingjin was also a little embarrassed. She hadn't expected to make things difficult for the teacher unintentionally, and she felt quite ashamed.

"I was just thinking, what if one day there's no food left to eat? The sage said, 'Do not miss the opportune time,' so that we can be sure we'll have food?"

It seems there was a period of famine in my previous life.
