Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

When Zhou Xinyue heard this, although she had doubts in her heart, she still chose to believe the man in front of her named Black Dog.

Zhou Xinyue turned around and went back to the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, when I returned to the courtyard, it was already dark and a few lanterns were lit in the courtyard.

The small courtyard seems very cozy.

Fanxing was setting the table with the two people named Liang Buqi and Shuang'er.

They saw Zhou Xinyue coming back and closing and locking the door, and ran over happily to greet her.

Zhou Xinyue greeted them happily.

As soon as I smelled the delicious aroma of food filling the yard, my stomach growled with hunger.

Zhou Xinyue said happily: "Oh, it smells so good. My stomach is growling with hunger."

Yaqin, who was lying on the rocking chair, smiled and said, "Well, you are finally back. We were all wondering where you had gone. We were thinking that if you didn't come back, we would go out to look for you."

Zhou Xinyue picked up a chicken claw from the plate and started eating.

Yaqin anxiously hit Zhou Xinyue's hand with chopsticks and said, "You are already so old, but you come to eat without washing your hands. You are just like a child, so naughty."

Zhou Xinyue looked at the familiar movements and words, and suddenly thought of her mother.

My nose felt sore and my eyes turned red immediately.

Yaqin felt anxious when she saw her suddenly depressed and sad appearance.

She said, "Yue'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly silent? Why are your eyes red? Oh, did I hurt you with the chopsticks just now? I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Auntie also hopes that you will come back and wash your hands before eating."

Zhou Xinyue smiled and shook her head hurriedly, saying, "No, no, please don't worry, aunt. I just haven't felt this kind of family affection for a long time, and I suddenly thought of my former mother, oh, no, it's my mother, so..."

Yaqin heard that it was Zhou Xinyue who missed her mother, and said distressedly: "I see, I thought your aunt accidentally hurt you just now, Yue'er, don't be sad, I believe in your mother, and hope you are happy and safe."

Zhou Xinyue sniffed, nodded, and said, "Let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold."

Everyone happily picked up their bowls and chopsticks and started eating.

Fanxing, Shuang'er and the tall man Liang Buqi get along very happily.

Everyone was chatting and laughing.

After Zhou Xinyue finished her meal, everyone put away the dishes and went into the kitchen. Zhou Xinyue said, "Come out for a while. I have good news to tell you."

After Xing'er, Shuang'er and Liang Buqi finished cleaning up, they came to the courtyard, and Zhou Xinyue sat with them.

He whispered to them exactly what he had done with Black Dog today.

Zhou Xinyue whispered, "So I will go to him at this time tomorrow, and he also promised us that he would send us out of the city safely after we get the figurines."

Yaqin said worriedly: "Really? I wonder if those people can be trusted?"

Zhou Xinyue actually had no idea, so she said, "Well, I'm just giving it a try. Will it work? We'll know tomorrow."

There was silence for a while.

No one talked about this topic anymore, but talked about other things everywhere. Then Yaqin asked everyone to go to bed.

Only Zhou Xinyue and Yaqin were left in the yard.

Yaqin looked at Zhou Xinyue, who was worried, and said, "Yue'er, come and sit next to me. I want to be closer to you."

Zhou Xinyue nodded and moved the stool next to Yaqin.

Yaqin said gently: "Yue'er, I want to ask you, how do you treat him..."

Zhou Xinyue looked up at Yaqin and said with a smile: "I like him, I like him very much, I don't want to hide it from my aunt. I even regard him as my fiancé."

Yaqin was slightly surprised, then she said calmly: "He is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament. It is natural that he attracts those unmarried girls in the capital. This is normal."

Zhou Xinyue nodded and said, "He is indeed excellent and very good. I admire him and like him very much."

Yaqin thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's not impossible for you to be with him. It's just..."

Zhou Xinyue interrupted quickly and said, "No, aunt, although I like him very much, I don't want to marry him."

Yaqin was stunned and said, "Your words have confused my aunt. Why don't you want to marry her?"

Zhou Xinyue continued, "Because I don't want to share my husband with others. I don't like it."

After hearing what Zhou Xinyue said, Yaqin was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time.

Zhou Xinyue looked at the surprised Yaqin and continued, "I want to live with my husband for the rest of my life. I would be happy even if I live an ordinary civilian life. Aunt, I don't like the palace life or the palace life. I like him only as a person, not as a person."

Yaqin listened carefully to Zhou Xinyue's unique viewpoints and found them very interesting.

Zhou Xinyue continued, "Aunt, you may think I'm jealous, but I'm not. I just like a monogamous life. If I can't choose such a life, I'd rather be alone. If he can't give me such a life, I'd rather give up on him."

Zhou Xinyue said so much, looking at Yaqin's shocked expression who was staring at her intently, and she felt that her aunt had a hint of humor.

Zhou Xinyue smiled and said, "Haha, I'm sorry to have made you laugh. Aunt, why don't you say anything!"

Yaqin was surprised for a long time, then reacted and said, "I have lived for so long, but this is the first time I have heard a woman say such words, and the one who said such words is the child I have raised since childhood. Yue'er, auntie suddenly realized that I seem to have never really understood you. Your thoughts are really shocking. "

Zhou Xinyue smiled and said, "I know it's hard for you to understand my thoughts, just like it's hard for me to understand why you want so many people to share one husband."

Yaqin slowly stood up from her chair and continued, "Since ancient times, it has been normal for men to marry three wives and four concubines. Why can't you accept it?"

Zhou Xinyue shook her head and said, "Maybe everyone has different ideas. At least for me, I can't accept it."

Yaqin sighed and said, "Yue'er, you have really grown up. You have your own ideas, but auntie still wants to tell you that at least your idea is very unrealistic here at the moment. Auntie doesn't want you to be alone for the rest of your life. How lonely and lonely it is!"
