Rebirth is not a dream.

Chapter 5 Who Wants Su Yue's Life

Qin Yi returned to the front yard and found Qiu Song to ask what had happened in the mansion during his absence and why Su Yue fell into the lotus pond?

Qiu Song: "Third Young Master, I am not very clear about it. I need to check it out. I just heard that it was the Ninth Young Master's wet nurse who found it and asked someone to rescue the Third Young Madam. After she was rescued, she was already dead. It was Qiu Zhu who rushed over and pressed and patted her to help her breathe. Qiu Zhu went out to find a doctor that night without reporting to the Marquis's wife. He brought people into the mansion without permission and was punished by the Marquis's wife. And Xiao Wu, who was at the back door, was also beaten with a stick."

Qin Yi: "Where is Qiu Zhu now?"

Qiu Song: "After Qiu Zhu was beaten with 20 boards, he was locked in the woodshed."

"Still in the woodshed?"

Qin Yi frowned, "Go and release Qiu Zhu and bring him to my courtyard. Send someone to find out what happened that night. Also send some medicine to Xiao Wu."

Qiu Zhu was brought to Qin Yi's yard. Her injuries had not yet fully recovered, and she walked a little unsteadily.

"Qiuzhu, tell me in detail what happened that night." Qin Yi said seriously.

Qiu Zhu's eyes flashed with surprise. She originally thought that Qin Yi would not care about the young lady's affairs. After all, he and the young lady were only nominal husband and wife for the past three years. She calmed down and told him everything that happened that night.

It turned out that Qiu Zhu heard the servants' cries for help that night, saying that the Third Young Lady had drowned. She hurried over, only to find that Su Yue had been rescued, but was without breath. She had seen a doctor treat drowning people in her hometown before, so she used the doctor's method to treat the young lady. After the young lady recovered, due to the urgency of the situation, she did not have time to report to the Marquis's wife, and went to find a doctor privately.

After Qin Yi heard this, he was filled with gratitude. He looked at the scars on Qiu Zhu's body and said, "You did a good job. This time, I will explain to your mother for you. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me directly. If I'm not here, go to Qiu Song and Qiu Sheng, as well as Jiang Yuan or Chuan Bai. You should go back and rest first."

Qiu Zhu was about to leave when Qin Yi said, "Do you know why the Third Young Lady went to the lotus pond so late?"

"I don't know," Qiu Zhu replied, and Qin Yi let her leave.

Qin Yi looked at her back thoughtfully as she left. He decided to investigate the matter carefully, not only for Su Yue, but also for himself. It seemed that someone didn't want him to have an easy life. Afterwards, Qin Yi called Jiang Yuan and Chuan Bai and told them to secretly investigate the truth of Su Yue's fall into the water. In the next few days, Qin Yi waited for news from Jiang Yuan and Chuan Bai.

Taozi helped Su Yue walk in the garden, with pavilions, towers, and clusters of flowers. The beautiful scenery made her happy, but there was always a sense of loneliness in her heart.

Su Yue and Taozi chatted casually: "Are you the only maid around me?"

Taozi was a little sad that the young lady really didn't remember anything: "The young lady had four maids, Qiuzhu, Chenxiang, Dingxiang and Aunt Tao."

Su Yue: "Where are they? I haven't seen them these past few days."

Taozi: "We have some things on the farm. Aunt Tao took Chenxiang and Dingxiang to deal with them. They haven't come back yet, but I guess they will be back soon. If they can't come back this afternoon, they should be back tomorrow morning at least."

Su Yue: "What about Qiu Zhu?"

"Qiuzhu, you left the house without permission to see a doctor at night, and were punished by the marquis's wife." Xiaotao said in a low voice with her head down.

Su Yue: "Yes, how was it punished?"

Taozi: "He was beaten with twenty boards and locked up in the woodshed."

Su Yue: "Are you still in the woodshed?"

Taozi: "The Third Young Master came back yesterday and questioned Qiu Zhu, then had someone send her back to her room to recuperate."

Su Yue nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that this cheap husband was not so bad. She decided to wait until Qiu Zhu recovered and then find her to learn more about the situation.

This Marquis's Mansion is really treacherous. Su Yue frowned slightly. She didn't have much impression of the Marquis's wife, but she sounded like a very strict person. She thought to herself, how much they disliked her. She was dying on the bed, but they were anxious to deal with her maid. It was really speechless. Qiu Zhu was punished for her. When she felt better, she would definitely go to see Qiu Zhu.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, bringing a little chill. Su Yue couldn't help but shiver, Taozi hurriedly said: "Miss, let's go back, you are weak, don't catch a cold."

Su Yue nodded, and walked back slowly with Taozi's support. She thought to herself that when the other maids came back, she would learn more about the situation in this mansion, after all, she knew nothing about it now.

Su Yue returned to the room, not knowing whether it was because of the wind, she kept coughing. Taozi brought another bowl of medicine. Looking at the bowl of medicine, Su Yue thought that she had not eaten much since coming to this strange world, and the medicine was to be taken three times a day without missing a bowl. "Cough cough cough..."

Feeling a little better after taking the medicine, Su Yue lay on the bed and thought to herself that little Su Yue's body was really weak. She felt so uncomfortable just walking such a short distance. She was really no match for herself, not to mention her younger self. Even she, a forty-year-old aunt, was better than her now!

I was thinking of going to the lotus pond to see if I could find some clues that would lead me back to the modern era, but as soon as I walked there I became out of breath, and I started coughing non-stop whenever the wind blew. I'd better just take care of myself for now.

The Third Young Master said he would investigate thoroughly, but he didn't know how the investigation was going. Who wanted to kill little Su Yue? Su Yue fell asleep again while thinking about it.

As time went by, Su Yue's body gradually recovered. She began to actively learn about the various situations in the Hou Mansion in order to better adapt to this new environment.

Nanny Tao and others also returned to the Marquis' Mansion. Su Yue summoned them and asked them some questions. What they said was basically the same as what Taozi had told her before. Among them, Nanny Tao was responsible for managing Su Yue's dowry in the Marquis' Mansion; while Chenxiang and Dingxiang were proficient in pharmacology and cooking skills respectively, and both were her dowry maids.

In addition, Su Yue learned that the rest of her dowry was stored in a three-courtyard house in Fushanfang, managed by the housekeeper Liu and three maids. When asked whether her father, Mr. Su, and his family kept in touch with her, Tao Ma said she was not very clear. In fact, it has been more than a year since she received the last letter from Mr. Su, which mentioned that he would go out to sea to do business, but there has been no news for more than a year. Not only that, butler Wang, who was responsible for looking after the family business, also had no contact with them. Although four carts of generous New Year gifts were sent during the Spring Festival last year, no gifts were delivered during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. It is really impossible to know what the family situation is like now.

Su Yue wanted to send Aunt Tao to the Su family to check the situation, but then she thought that since the Su family was in Jiangdu, she would just forget it and talk about it later. At the same time, she asked Chenxiang and Dingxiang to help her organize her dowry.

At the same time, Qin Yi was also stepping up his investigation into the cause of Su Yue's fall into the water. He found some clues, as if someone was deliberately hiding something.
