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

Walking out of Xiyuanzhai, Qin Suyu's steps were hurried, but it seemed that every step was carried by a heavy heart. Her figure cast a long shadow in the afterglow of the setting sun, making her look particularly lonely and desolate.

She tilted her head, her eyes filled with mixed emotions, and whispered to Xiao Cui beside her: "Who exactly is Wu Zhihua, to make so many people fall in love with him? I am curious, but I can't help but feel a little unwilling."

Xiao Cui's heart tightened when she heard this. Wu Zhihua's name was like the brightest star in the night sky in the mansion, dazzling yet out of reach. She couldn't help but think secretly, fearing that one of her words would accidentally touch upon this sensitive topic. She had no choice but to lower her head, keep silent, and follow Qin Suyu's steps.

Seeing Xiao Cui silent, Qin Suyu knew she was in trouble, so she smiled bitterly and said to herself, "Everything in this world will eventually be bound by the law of 'birds of a feather flock together', so why should I force it?"

After she finished speaking, she raised a bitter self-mockery at the corner of her mouth, as if she was mocking her own sentimentality, or as if she was comforting her unwilling heart. "Forget it, the sisters in Molan Courtyard are all talented and beautiful, so what can Wu Zhihua do?"

After saying that, she cheered herself up and strode towards Molan Courtyard with big strides, as if she wanted to put all her worries behind her.

After entering the Molan Courtyard, Qin Suyu immediately summoned a group of maids. Suddenly, the courtyard was filled with singing and dancing, laughter, and a prosperous scene.

In this peaceful and prosperous atmosphere, her mood gradually brightened, as if she had found a moment of relief and joy.

On the other side, Wu Zhihua hurriedly chased out, but saw that Qin Suling had disappeared at the end of his sight. He couldn't help feeling lost and helpless.

He stood there alone, looking at the empty streets, feeling mixed emotions. He had never imagined that the reunion would be so hasty and cold.

"Miss, did you lose anything valuable?"

Xiao Cui saw Qin Suyu looking uncertainly and looking around, and mistakenly thought that she had lost something, so she asked with concern.

Qin Yuling shook her head gently, her eyes empty, as if she was passing through the scene before her and drifting to a farther place.

"It's okay, let's go back home." There was a hint of barely perceptible fatigue in her voice.

At this time, Fang Rushuang was already extremely anxious in her mansion, until she saw her own carriage slowly driving in, and then she felt relieved.

Qin Suyu got off the car and saw her mother's worried face. A warm feeling surged in her heart. She hurried forward and held her mother's hand: "Mom, why are you here? I'm sorry to have worried you."

Fang Rushuang stroked her daughter's hand, her eyes full of heartache: "How could you encounter such a thing when you go out? Fortunately, Wu Zhihua is by my side, otherwise..."

Her words were full of reproaches for Qin Suyu, but more of them were concerns for her daughter. "I'm glad you're okay. Be more careful in the future."

Although Qin Suyu had thousands of words in her heart, she could only turn them into a gentle explanation: "Don't worry, mother, this matter has nothing to do with Qin Suling, it's just a misunderstanding."

She secretly glanced at Xiao Cui, and the two exchanged a knowing look. Xiao Cui shook her head gently, indicating that she didn't need to say more.

Fang Rushuang frowned slightly when she heard this, and was obviously puzzled by the feud between Wu Zhihua and Qin Suling: "Wu Zhihua is a gentle and elegant child, how could he have a grudge with her?"

Then, she warned him, "If you meet her in the future, try to avoid her to avoid any trouble."

Qin Suyu nodded, but thought secretly in her heart.

She secretly glanced at her mother and whispered to comfort her, "Mom, don't think too much. The clothing store has delivered some new clothes today. Let's go and take a look."

As she spoke, she took her mother's hand, and the two of them smiled at each other and walked into the inner room, as if all the unhappiness had been blown away by the wind.

The mother and daughter walked lightly and just as they reached the edge of the quiet courtyard, they saw a graceful figure standing in front of the door. It was Qin Sulan, the concubine's daughter from the second house.

She has a graceful figure, and her clothes flutter in the wind, like the first flower blooming in spring, quietly waiting for the gaze of flower admirers.

Qin Sulan saw the mother and daughter from afar, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she quickly quickened her pace, stepped forward, gently stroked the hem of her skirt with her hand, bowed respectfully, and said in a gentle voice like a long stream of water: "Auntie is well, sister is well, Lan'er has been waiting for you here for a long time."

Fang Rushuang was surprised when she heard this, but then she smiled calmly. She knew the rules and people's hearts in this mansion were complicated, but she couldn't bear to be too cold, so she asked softly, "Why is Lan'er here? Is there something important to discuss?"

Qin Suyu lowered her head, her long black hair covering half of her face, and a barely perceptible discomfort passed across her face. She indeed had some unknown thoughts in mind during this trip.

Qin Suyu slowly raised her head, a soft light flashing in her autumn-water eyes, and a perfect smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, like the warm spring sun, warm but not dazzling.

She opened her red lips slightly, and asked the maid beside her to hand over an exquisite brocade box, saying with concern: "I heard that sister couldn't sleep recently, and I was very worried. I thought I had the best tranquilizing incense hidden here, so I brought it here specially, hoping it can help sister sleep and restore her former spirit."

Fang Rushuang looked at Qin Suyu. Although she felt a little distant from the second wife, she was impressed by her understanding and attentiveness. She said, "Lan'er is really thoughtful. I was just about to send someone to call you over, but I didn't expect you to be there before me. The store outside just got a few new styles. Why don't we go in together to choose? It can be regarded as a token of your thoughtfulness."

After saying this, she waved her jade hand lightly, signaling the maid Xiao Cui to take the brocade box, and then gently invited Qin Sulan and her daughter into the house.

Qin Sulan observed Fang Rushuang's expression and saw that she had no objection. She breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to express her gratitude with a smile. There was both gratitude and a hint of pride in that smile.

As she entered the house, she gently held her mother's arm and walked lightly, as innocent as a deer in the woods.

However, as they turned aside, the mother and daughter did not notice that the crazy jealousy flashing in Qin Suyu's eyes was like a cold star in the dark night, cold and dazzling.

Qin Suyu's heart was filled with undercurrents. As both were daughters of the Prime Minister, why was it that Qin Suling enjoyed all the favors and everything went well for her, while she could only live under her shadow and copy her?

Is it just because she is the legitimate daughter and I am just a concubine's daughter?

She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she felt no pain at all.

If it wasn't for her aunt's instruction, asking her to take this opportunity to show her goodwill to Qin Suling in order to go with him to the Sixth Princess' birthday banquet tomorrow, how could she be willing to lower her status and offer this calming incense?

She even prayed silently in her heart, hoping that the nightmare demon in the dream could take Qin Suling away and let her disappear in the endless darkness. In this way, she could enjoy the status of the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion alone and no longer be controlled by others.

However, reality was like a cold shower, pulling her back from her fantasy.

Qin Suyu suppressed her dissatisfaction and jealousy, twisted her waist, followed Fang Rushuang and Qin Sulan, and stepped into the magnificently decorated inner room.

Inside the house, there were a dazzling array of colorful new clothes. Qin Suling just took a quick look and randomly picked out two plain long dresses. Although the dresses were extremely simple, they revealed an extraordinary fairy spirit and softness on her, as if she was a fairy who was not of this world, and people dared not look directly at her.

Qin Sulan, on the other hand, had an excited look on her face. She carefully selected three long dresses in light pink, goose yellow and lake blue. Each dress showed her youthful vitality and unique style.

Fang Rushuang looked at the three people's completely different choices, smiling and teasing, "Yu'er has a unique vision after all. Wearing these bright colors makes her look even more pretty. Lan'er, you should learn from her too. Don't always prefer those plain colors. It's also good to change your style occasionally."

Qin Suling just smiled slightly when she heard that. That smile hid too many stories and secrets. She was introverted and preferred simple things, just like her life, which was not ostentatious but had its own unique charm.

Qin Sulan was secretly delighted. She thought she had a better vision than Qin Suling, but as a concubine, it was difficult for her to attract everyone's attention. The princess' birthday banquet was undoubtedly a rare opportunity for her, and she must seize it.

But how could she hide the anxiety and uneasiness in her heart?

Fortunately, Fang Rushuang mentioned it at the right time: "Well, tomorrow is the Sixth Princess' birthday, so don't dress too ostentatiously, so as not to steal the limelight from the protagonist. The three of you should keep this in mind."

These words were like paving the way for her, allowing her to feel at ease.
