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

The night falls slowly like thick silk, gradually swallowing up the noise between heaven and earth.

Qin Suling finally sighed softly, and put aside all the tangled worries in her heart. Her words were as gentle as the first melting spring water, flowing out: "The night is as deep as the sea, you should take care of yourself and go to bed early."

When Qi Qiyuan heard this, his deep eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts. He locked onto her figure tightly, as if he wanted to engrave her at this moment, along with the night sky around her, into the depths of his memory.

He nodded slightly, and every movement revealed a dignity and determination that could not be ignored. When he turned around, his sleeves fluttered, and his steps were steady and powerful. Every step he took showed his firm belief in the future.

Qin Suling watched him go away, his figure gradually becoming blurred in the night until it completely merged into the boundless darkness.

Inexplicably, delicate ripples arose in her heart, which were the melancholy about the past and the expectation for the future.

The door closed quickly and decisively in her hands, like an invisible barrier separating the outside world from her inner tranquility.

Outside the door, Qi Qiyuan stopped, turned around and stared at the tightly closed door, a faint yet complex smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

The speed at which the door closed was completely different from his usual calmness. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of decisiveness and tenacity Qin Suling had hidden behind this.

He knew very well that this woman possessed wisdom and courage far beyond that of ordinary people, and he only needed to silently provide her with the most solid support when she needed it.

The night grew darker and everything was silent. Only the occasional chirping of insects in the distance broke the stillness of the night.

Qin Suling sat alone under the dim light, the tip of her pen lightly touching the rice paper. Between the lines of ink, her words revealed her deep longing for her distant relatives and her worry about the fate of her family.

Her face appeared exceptionally calm and resolute in the dim light, and her brows inadvertently revealed a maturity and depth that transcended her age.

Outside the window, the night is as dark as ink, so deep that it seems to swallow all the light.

Jinxiu was making the bed carefully. Her voice was soft and gentle, as if she was afraid to disturb this rare tranquility.

"Madam, the general's mention of Qin Suyu is indeed unexpected." There was a hint of exploration and curiosity in her words, but more of it was a deep trust in Qin Suling's decision-making ability.

Qin Suling raised her head slightly, her eyes moved away from the letter from home and fell on Jinxiu's face, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

"Since he has something to say, he must have his reasons."

Her voice was calm and firm, as if she had seen through all the chaos.

"If the Qin family is really trapped in the fog, then it is also unpredictable. We can only follow fate and do our best."

After she finished speaking, a faint smile emerged at the corner of her mouth. In that smile, there was both helpless mockery of the fate of her family and deep emotion about the unpredictable changes of all things in the world.

Inside the room, the whispers and laughter between the master and servants were like wind chimes swaying gently in the night breeze, crisp and pleasant, mixed with a barely perceptible bitterness.

This laughter is a subtle sympathy for the Qin family's misfortune, as well as the helplessness and relief that they cannot fully control their own destiny.

In the deep and quiet courtyard of the Qin Mansion, Qin Suyu finally took off all her disguises and defenses, and immersed herself in this rare tranquility.

The moonlight shone through the delicate window panes onto her, casting a soft glow on her bright face.

She looked at herself in the bronze mirror, gently stroking her face, feeling mixed emotions.

Although she did not want to act crazy and stupid, she was willing to endure it all for the love and freedom in her heart.

"Miss, it's late, it's time to rest."

Xiao Cui's voice sounded at the door, with a hint of imperceptible uneasiness and concern.

She held the basin of water, her hands trembling slightly, and even towards this "crazy" lady, she still maintained a sense of awe.

Qin Suyu nodded gently and looked at Xiao Cui tenderly. In her eyes, there was both relief for the past and expectations for the future.

Qin Suyu turned around slowly, with an imperceptible elegance in her movement, her eyes gentle yet determined, as if they could penetrate the deepest fog in people's hearts and look directly into the essence of the soul.

"Xiao Cui, don't let fear take over your heart. Although I am in chaos, my mind is still clear."

Her voice was deep and magnetic, like the first ray of sunshine penetrating the clouds in spring, warm and powerful, instantly dispelling the haze lingering in Xiao Cui's heart.

"what?"

Xiao Cui let out a light cry, and the basin in her hand slipped due to sudden surprise. The hot water drew silver arcs in the air and finally spilled onto the bluestone slabs, making a tiny and rapid sound.

Her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, her heart felt like it was swept by a violent storm, with astonishment, fear and a sense of inexplicable relief intertwined, it was so complicated that it was hard to describe.

"This is a decision I made after careful consideration. There is no need for us to say more. Just keep it in mind and keep it secret."

Qin Suyu slowly walked to Xiao Cui's side and gently held her hand which was trembling with panic. The warm and firm touch, like a silent comfort, slowly flowed into Xiao Cui's heart, giving her endless strength and courage.

After she calmed down a little, Xiao Cui fetched some clean water again, and Qin Suyu began to wash and comb her hair carefully. Every movement she made seemed so graceful and calm, as if nothing in the world could disturb her in the slightest.

She gently opened the wardrobe, her eyes swept across the few slightly thin clothes and the empty jewelry box, and a hint of sadness flashed across her brows, but it disappeared in a flash.

"Madam, haven't you ever bought me new clothes?" There was a subtle hint of dissatisfaction and regret in her words, but more of it was acceptance and understanding of the current situation.

"My wife went out on an urgent matter last night and has not returned yet."

Xiao Cui responded in a low voice, secretly trying to guess her master's whereabouts and the deeper meaning behind it, but she also knew that she shouldn't ask too many questions.

Qin Suyu's expression changed slightly when she heard this, but then she returned to her usual calmness. She knew very well that she had to be cautious in every step she took in the Qin Mansion and not easily reveal her inner fragility and helplessness.

"Why would a mad person need fancy clothes to adorn himself? Only in simplicity can one's true self be revealed."

She chuckled, and that smile showed both helplessness towards fate and affirmation of her self-worth.

Xiao Cui looked at Qin Suyu in front of her, and an indescribable admiration welled up in her heart. She silently selected clothes for Qin Suyu and secretly vowed in her heart that no matter what the future held, she would loyally follow this extraordinary lady and face the baptism of wind and rain together.

Finally, Xiao Cui deftly changed Qin Suyu into that light red dress. The hem of the dress swayed gently in the wind, like peach blossoms blooming in the morning light, making Qin Suyu look delicate and charming, as if the spring breeze was blowing and all things were revived.

There was an unprecedented light shining in her eyes, and she looked full of energy, completely different from the taciturn woman who seemed abandoned by fate in the past.

Qin Suyu's heart was in turmoil at this moment. She thought to herself, since she couldn't overcome hardness with hardness, she could use softness to overcome hardness and use wisdom and tenacity to deal with every challenge in life.

Hand in hand with Xiao Cui, she set out on the road to the main hall of the Qin Mansion, and every step seemed so firm and powerful.

What she saw along the way was the former glory of the Qin Mansion and its present tranquility. She couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This is where Qin Suling lived in the past. It is so vast and boundless, it is breathtaking..."

The words express both nostalgia and emotion for the past, as well as longing and expectation for the future.

However, Xiao Cui's whispered reminder brought her back to reality at the right time: "Miss, please be careful with your words. The hearts of people in the mansion are complicated. If it is discovered that you have not really lost your mind, it may cause unnecessary trouble."

Qin Suyu nodded slightly when she heard this, and secretly warned herself in her heart that no matter how bumpy the road ahead was, she must stay sober and calm, and greet every unknown tomorrow with wisdom and courage.
