Although the old lady was old, she still had good eyesight. She felt that Xin An did not look like a girl from Huaijiang. Her manners and speech were all like those of a girl raised in a wealthy family in Beijing, especially her manners and etiquette.

When I arrived at Huaijiang, I became even more certain of her difference.

As soon as she said that, Mrs. Xin also remembered that when she met Xin An again on the second day after her wedding last year, she felt that her tone and accent had changed, as if she had always grown up in the capital. However, she was busy looking for the Marquis' Mansion to talk at the time, so she didn't think much about it.

It’s really strange to think about it now.

Xin An's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect the old lady to notice this. He had lived in the capital for decades in his previous life, and his behavioral habits had changed long ago. After returning, everything can be changed, but habits cannot be changed.

"My father said a long time ago that I was not gentle and was a bit rough. I didn't expect that my grandmother would find out about this."

The old lady didn't think too deeply about it and joked, "Well, you'll find out once you compare them, but don't worry, grandma still likes you the most."

Xin An laughed and picked up some more food for the old lady. Mrs. Xin also laughed again.

I thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Xin came into Xin An's room with a frown on her face that night, "An'er, tell me, are you really living well in the capital?"

The old lady's words took root in her heart. She knew her daughter best. When she thought about it, she realized that there were indeed disturbing things everywhere.

"I'm doing well, why is my mother asking this?"

Xin An was a little panicked. She could fool everyone, but she couldn't fool her mother who gave birth to her and raised her. "Mom, are you still thinking about what grandma said today?"

Madam Xin sat down beside her. "Mother just can't understand why you spoke with a Huaijiang accent on the day you got married, but the next day you spoke like a native of Beijing, or someone who had lived in Beijing for decades. After that, I never heard you speak our Huaijiang dialect again."

"Did something happen?"

Xin An couldn't think of a reasonable explanation. Before she got married, she had been hanging around her mother every day. It was unlikely that she had any adventures. She was also afraid that she would scare her mother by saying that she had died once, so she lied and said, "Mom, something very strange happened to my daughter. It's too weird, and I haven't told anyone."

She said that on her wedding day, she got into the bridal sedan and fell asleep soon after, and then she had a dream.

The things in the dream seemed to have really happened to her. "That dream was very long. I spent my whole life in that dream. In the dream, I married Tang Rong, but my life was not good..."

She picked out and told the things in her past life, "I had a splitting headache when I woke up. Mother knows that I had sent people to keep an eye on the mansion before the wedding. I knew that the mansion had changed its courtyard. After the wedding ceremony, I wanted to go to Tang Rong's courtyard, but somehow I went to Tang Mo's courtyard and avoided the things that happened in the dream."

"What's even stranger is that when I spoke again, I spoke with the accent of Beijing. I was so scared at the time that I didn't dare to tell anyone for fear of being mistaken for a monster. I can't even explain myself."

"Mom, don't you think my dream was weird? The Tang Rong in the dream wasn't even a human being."

Mrs. Xin was stunned for a long time before she digested Xin An's words. Then she stood up and stood at the window with her hands clasped together, "Amitabha, may the Bodhisattva bless you."

Turning around and holding Xin An's hand, he asked, "Do you still remember that before you got married, your mother took you to Lingbao Temple to burn incense to the Buddha?"

Xin An nodded, "Of course I remember that mother talked to Abbot Fang for a long time. When I asked her what she talked about, she refused to tell me."

Madam Xin told her that the abbot said that although it was like a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water, it still caused ripples, and also said that as long as you have good intentions, you will have a chance to return. "I didn't understand what it meant at the time, but now it seems that this is all God's will. From what mother said, it must be God's will that if you marry Tang Rong, you will live the miserable life in your dream."

"Maybe you've already passed it, and God gave you a chance to start over."

"what?"

Xin An was very surprised. Could her mother explain it this way?

"That must be the case."

Madam Xin paced back and forth in the room. "Tang Rong is not a good man. If you marry him, he will definitely be entangled with the one from the Tao family just like in your dream."

"That woman is not a good person either. They hit it off and had an affair. What can you do?"

"It's God's will. It's the ancestors of the Xin family who have blessed you and our Xin family."

Mrs. Xin felt that all the unreasonable things became reasonable after she interpreted it this way, and she was sure that the ancestors of the Xin family had made efforts in the underground. "At the end of the year, we must give a grand ceremony to the ancestors of the Xin family. I think Tang Mo is a very good son-in-law. I am very satisfied. This must be the choice of the ancestors of the Xin family. Otherwise, how could you deliberately go to the wrong courtyard?"

"Think about it, you married Tang Mo. Although he is not the eldest son or the prince, you got a mother-in-law who is devoted to you. Your mother-in-law is a stepmother. Even if she treats you equally in public, she is partial to her own son in her heart. If you marry Tang Rong, you will stand opposite her. The fight between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is inevitable, and you will not be able to live so well..."

"I'll tell you..."

Xin An watched her mother walking back and forth in the room with amusement, talking excitedly non-stop, and felt relieved, "I think what my mother said is right."

"That must be right. If you marry your father like this, you won't be able to get the salt permit for the Northwest Salt Road, and you won't be able to make friends with General Xu. An'er, let me tell you..."

Xin An leaned against the bedpost and just kept listening to her mother talking. She talked for about two incense sticks before she stopped and grabbed Xin An's hand, "This is a blessing."

"Is your mother-in-law in there?"

Tang Mo, who had been drinking, came back and stood at the door without coming in. Madam Xin took two deep breaths and told Xin An not to tell Tang Mo about this. Xin An agreed and let Tang Mo in. "You're back so early?"

"My father-in-law has to go to the government office tomorrow morning, and he also said that people from the clan will come tomorrow, so we have to drink a few more cups. I didn't drink much tonight."

"Mother-in-law...is there something wrong?"

Why did my mother-in-law's eyes change when she looked at me after not seeing me for half a day? I instantly recalled everything I had done recently, and I didn't do anything wrong.

"It's okay. Mother-in-law hasn't had a good look at you. Now I think you are indeed a very handsome young man. Okay, you guys should go to bed early. I'm leaving first."

Tang Mo's eyes were complicated. After seeing his mother-in-law off, he approached Xin An and asked, "What happened?"

Xin An told what happened that night, "In a dream, my mother made all the unreasonable things reasonable. From today on, I am a person with great fortune."

"How's it going? Are you envious?"
