After the noble lady was reborn, the whole mansion begged her for forgiveness

"Miss Qin, your stubbornness is like the peach blossoms in spring, beautiful but with thorns. But your body is honest. I know what you are worried about. Do you think I have poisoned this cake? But think about it, your position in the Qin Mansion is in jeopardy now. If I really want to harm you, why would I do it myself?"

Qi Qiyuan's voice is deep and magnetic, as if it can penetrate people's hearts.

He smiled slightly and continued, "I also know that you have an unquenchable rage in your heart and want revenge. But before you can take revenge, you have to fill your stomach first, right? This cake is a favor you owe me. If I get into trouble in the future, you can just return me a cake."

Qin Suling was silent for a moment, and finally took the meat pie that was still warm.

Her fingers gently touched the crust, as if feeling the warmth.

She took a light bite, and immediately, a familiar taste filled her mouth.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she had returned to a long-gone time.

That taste was so familiar, as if she had tasted it deeply at some point in time.

Her heart moved. Could this really be the taste she had eaten in her previous life?

"Thank you."

Qin Suling said softly, with a hint of gratitude in her voice.

For her, this cake was really a timely help.

Qi Qiyuan kept staring at Qin Suling, trying to catch a trace of emotional fluctuations on her face.

But Qin Suling's expression remained the same, like an indestructible iceberg.

He sighed slightly, and finally asked, "Miss Qin, do you think the taste of this cake is familiar?"

Qin Suling raised her head and stared at Qi Qiyuan with a sharp gaze, "Are you testing me with this cake?"

There was a hint of coldness in her voice.

Qi Qiyuan looked directly into Qin Suling's eyes and said frankly, "Yes. I once said that if I couldn't find you one day, I would buy you a cake. When you taste this, you will think of me."

"Why cake? Not something else?"

Qin Suling was a little confused.

Qi Qiyuan smiled slightly and fell into memory, "Because you were hungry that day, and I only had enough money to buy this cake."

There was a hint of tenderness and helplessness in his words.

Qin Suling's heart moved, but she still pretended to know nothing. "Nonsense!" She snorted lightly, but the doubt in her eyes became more and more obvious.

While the two were talking, Qin Suling had finished the cake in his hand.

She licked her lips, as if still savoring the familiar taste.

"What did they say?"

she asked suddenly.

Qi Qiyuan felt a little disappointed when he saw that Qin Suling seemed to know nothing about the past.

But he quickly adjusted his mood and said with a smile: "Lord Qin and Fang Rushuang have already entered the palace. They are creating evidence of their absence. Then, they will order people to set fire to the ancestral hall."

Qin Suling's face changed when he heard this.

She knew that this would be the crucial moment for her revenge.

She took a deep breath, as if to draw all her courage and strength into her body.

She looked at Qi Qiyuan, a determined light flashing in her eyes, "Thank you for telling me this."

Qi Qiyuan looked at Qin Suling's departing back, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

He knew that this woman would be the biggest burden in his life.

Whether she remembers the past or not, he will stay by her side forever.

As the storm was brewing, Qi Qiyuan's tone suddenly turned cold, like the cold wind in December, biting and chilly.

Qin Suling frowned slightly and gently stroked her fingertips, her eyes flashing with thought.

After a brief silence, she seemed to see through the fog and understood the cunning scheme of Qin Shizhao and Fang Rushuang.

"You actually told me their plan so frankly, what is your intention?"

There was a hint of doubt and vigilance in Qin Suling's voice.

Qi Qiyuan stared at her, his eyes were deep and firm, as if they could penetrate one's soul.

"Because of you, it's important."

His words were simple and direct, yet they contained endless depth.

Qin Suling was touched by his serious expression and her heart trembled.

She carefully observed his every subtle movement and every change in his eyes, trying to find the answer.

However, his expression remained consistent without any flaws.

"I…I need to go out now."

Qin Suling took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil.

She turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Qi Qiyuan's words.

"What are you going to check? I can accompany you."

There was a hint of concern and determination in Qi Qiyuan's voice.

Qin Suling shook her head and said softly, "No need, please do as you please."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the exit she had already spotted. Her figure was as light as the wind, and she disappeared outside the ancestral hall in the blink of an eye.

Qi Qiyuan looked at her leaving back, a smile appearing on his lips.

Although Qin Suling did not admit that she knew him, he could clearly see the familiar shadow from her words and actions.

An inexplicable excitement and joy surged in his heart, as if years of waiting had finally paid off.

Without any hesitation, he raised his leg and chased after him.

He knew that no matter whether she admitted it or not, she was the only Shen Yan in his heart.

Qin Suling left the ancestral hall and went straight to Qin Suyu's yard.

Along the way, she felt the tranquility and elegance of the surrounding environment, as if she was in a paradise.

When she stepped into Qin Suyu's yard, a burst of floral fragrance hit her nose, refreshing her heart.

She looked up and saw the pavilions and waterside terraces complementing each other, like a fairyland on earth.

She quietly came to the roof of Qin Suyu's bedroom and gently lifted a tile.

Just at this moment, Qin Suyu's voice reached her ears.

"Are you sure no one saw you when you went to look for Cuiwei?"

There was a hint of nervousness and uneasiness in Qin Suyu's voice.

The maid nodded affirmatively, "No, miss, don't worry."

There was determination and loyalty in her voice.

After hearing what the maid said, Qin Suyu's brows relaxed slightly, but she still asked worriedly: "How do I treat you?"

The maid answered without hesitation: "The young lady is very kind to me."

She was Qin Suyu's first-class maid, so she naturally knew that Qin Suyu's kindness to her was sincere.

However, when she realized that her words might cause trouble for Qin Suyu, she immediately added: "Miss, please rest assured that everything was done by me alone and has nothing to do with you."

Qin Suyu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what the maid said, "Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."

Qin Suling couldn't help but sneer in her heart while listening to the conversation between the two people on the roof. She looked at everything below as if she was watching a farce. She knew that the conversation between Qin Suyu and the maid had nothing to do with her, but she saw the complexity and hypocrisy of human nature from it.

She gently covered the tiles and quietly left this place full of hypocrisy and lies.

In the hazy courtyard at night, the moonlight sprinkled on the bluestone road, as if laying a layer of silver gauze.

Qin Suling stood on the edge of the roof, her eyes as sharp as torches, fixed on the maid below who seemed to be loyal to Qin Suyu.

She thought to herself: This maid in front of me seems to be loyal to Qin Suyu. How can I make her betray me and use her for my own benefit?

Just as Qin Suling was lost in thought, she moved and flew down lightly from the roof.

When she landed, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

The man was Qi Qiyuan. He stood there quietly, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"Are you planning to use the maid to deal with Miss Qin Er?"

Qi Qiyuan's voice was low and firm, directly revealing the secret in Qin Suling's heart.

Qin Suling was startled. She looked up at Qi Qiyuan. There seemed to be endless wisdom hidden in his deep eyes.

She couldn't help but be secretly surprised that this person could see into her thoughts so accurately.

However, she did not say anything, but just glared at Qi Qiyuan coldly.

Qi Qiyuan seemed to see through the doubts and vigilance in Qin Suling's heart. He smiled gently, and there was a bit of confidence and calmness in that smile.

He slowly approached Qin Suling, his voice low and magnetic: "Because we are equally smart, so, we think the same way."

Qin Suling was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Qi Qiyuan to admit their similarities so directly.

An inexplicable emotion surged in her heart, a mixture of surprise and admiration.

However, she did not let this emotion cloud her judgment.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil, then looked at Qi Qiyuan coldly and was about to leave.

Qi Qiyuan saw this and did not stop him. He just said calmly: "If you need help, please tell me at any time."

Qin Suling paused, she didn't look back, but just nodded slightly.

Then she continued walking forward and disappeared into the night.

Qi Qiyuan stood where he was, watching Qin Suling leave.

His eyes were deep and complex, as if he could see through the dark night and see into all the hidden corners.
