Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

Zhou Xinyue's smiling face suddenly froze, as if her head was buzzing.

Zhou Xinyue was stunned for several seconds but still managed a smile and said, "Sister, you are married now, why are you still the same as before, always joking with me? It's not funny at all. Really, it's not funny at all."

Unexpectedly, Jingrou said anxiously, "When did I, your sister, like to joke with you? Besides, how could I joke with you about this kind of thing?"

Zhou Xinyue looked at Jingrou with a serious expression, and felt distressed and uncomfortable.

She said, "If you are not joking, how could you say such words to slander Ayi? I absolutely don't believe it. I absolutely don't believe that he will leave me and marry someone else. I don't believe it. I absolutely don't believe it."

Jingrou said anxiously, "I didn't believe it at first, but it was Sandan who found a way to get the news to me. He didn't enter the village and stayed in the military camp, so his news is definitely the most accurate. Besides, Jin Youyuan ordered that no news be disclosed to you. It was Sandan who found a way to send the cakes to me and had someone bring in the note I saw in the cakes. It's written clearly on it."

Zhou Xinyue still couldn't believe it, so Jingrou put the fruit basket on the table, took out the plate of cakes from the basket, recreated the process of taking the cakes, and showed the note to Zhou Xinyue.

Zhou Xinyue opened the note and knew it was indeed written by Sandan when she saw the handwriting.

Because Zhou Xinyue's calligraphy was not good, Sandan's calligraphy was what she taught him, and it was even uglier.

Zhou Xinyue was very sure that this was indeed written by Sandan himself.

The note only read: "He will be getting married in seven days. The bride has been chosen and it is not my second sister."

After reading the note, Zhou Xinyue burst into tears.

Jingrou hurried over and put her hand on Zhou Xinyue's shoulder to comfort her: "Yue'er, don't be sad. I am also very sad and shocked, and even more angry. But he is now a prince and a member of the royal family. It is not a problem for him to have three wives and four concubines in the future. Yue'er, since you have chosen him, you may not be able to choose your own destiny. This is the only way."

Zhou Xinyue stood up and said loudly: "No, I don't want to. I don't want to accept such a fate. I don't want to share my own husband with others. I can't do it."

Jingrou said with tears in her eyes, "But now that things have come to this, Yue'er, what can you do? We women cannot choose our own destiny in this society. After all, we are just women."

Zhou Xinyue looked at Jingrou with tears in her eyes and said, "Sister, don't say that. In my previous life, women were not inferior to men. Women can do the jobs that men can do, and women can do the jobs that men cannot do. Women are no worse than men, and women can stand tall and proud. Here, no matter what the customs are, I don't care how many women other men marry, but he promised me that I would always be his only woman, so no matter what you or Sandan say, I don't believe it. I don't believe he will marry other women, I don't believe he will leave me, and I don't believe he will lie to me, so I have decided that I will go to the city and witness him marrying someone else with my own eyes. Unless I see it with my own eyes, I will never believe that he is lying to me."

Jingrou said worriedly, "Now this place is full of the prince's people, how are you going to get out?"

Zhou Xinyue thought for a while and said, "Sister, isn't He Shi going back soon?"

Jingrou nodded and said, "Yes, he will leave for the city at noon today. Do you want to?"

Zhou Xinyue nodded and said, "Yes, I will disguise myself and blend into his entourage. This group of people are all returning to visit relatives, so there are quite a lot of people. He shouldn't notice me."

Jingrou stood up and said firmly: "I'll go with you. I'll go pack up. Wait for me."

Zhou Xinyue hurriedly grabbed Jingrou upon hearing this and said, "Are you crazy? No, no. If we disappear together, it will make people suspicious. Sister, you can't go with me. You have to stay here. You have to play the fool for me. You have to cover up for me, otherwise we will definitely attract everyone's attention. You can cover up for me as long as you can. As soon as I am sure of his true situation, I will come back immediately. I will definitely come back, believe me."

Jingrou said reluctantly with red eyes: "No, I don't want you to go alone, I'm worried about you, I'm scared."

Zhou Xinyue smiled and said, "Who am I? I am the brand new Zhou Xinyue! I am no longer the weak Erdan who allowed others to bully me. I am the brand new me, and no one can do anything to me. Look, I disappeared for such a long time and I came back safely, didn't I? So, sister, don't worry about me, I will definitely come to find you, I will come back."

Jingrou still said worriedly: "I am still worried about you. I am still worried."

Zhou Xinyue comforted her and said, "Okay, sister, let's stop talking now. What you need to do now is to deceive me. I will pack up and get ready to go now. Aren't you going to see him off later? You attract his attention, and I will sneak in."

Jingrou nodded awkwardly, and Zhou Xinyue hurriedly added, "Also, I'll leave Fanxing to you. With Sister here, I feel relieved to let Xinger live here."

Jingrou nodded, wiped her tears, and said sadly: "Don't worry, Xing'er, I will take care of him. I'm going back to Rou'er Courtyard now. I'll help him clean up. You should also hurry up and clean up."

Zhou Xinyue nodded. At this moment, a figure flashed outside the door and hid.

Zhou Xinyue hurriedly began to disguise himself, pretending to be an ordinary man.

Zhou Xinyue squatted on the ground and smeared her face black, dressing herself up in a very low-key manner, so that her beautiful face could not be seen.

Zhou Xinyue took a bag and for some reason, took all her valuables with her, including the hairpin that Jin Youyuan had given her.

Zhou Xinyue felt uneasy, with an indescribable palpitation and uneasiness in her heart, but she knew she had to go, otherwise she would feel uneasy.

Many people in the village were at the entrance of the village to see off the man who was assigned to come back to visit his family. Soldiers outside the village were helping to organize the people. There were quite a lot of people, about fifty or sixty in total.

The more people there are, the better. Zhou Xinyue was in a heavy mood and quietly blended out of the crowd. No one paid attention to her messy hair.

She stuffed her whole body with all those valuables, making her look a little bloated.

He squatted next to the outermost and least conspicuous loaded carriage, trying to keep a low profile.
