Suppressing the turmoil in her heart, Nan Qianyue looked at Qin Yi and asked again, "Prime Minister Nan and his wife don't really treat me like their own daughter, do they?"
Qin Yi frowned slightly. "I even suspect that you are their long-lost daughter, but I suppose they believe it."
“I am not their daughter,” Nan Qianyue said seriously. “It’s just a coincidence. Anyway, I have my own parents and I’m not the daughter of the Nan Xiang.”
Qin Yi stared into her eyes. "So where exactly are you from?"
His eyes were full of inquiry, and invisible ropes stretched out from his deep black eyes, trapping Nanqianyue, making it impossible for her to escape or hide.
The panic in Nan Qianyue's eyes did not escape Qin Yi's notice. He continued, "Yue'er, if you have something you can't say, I won't force you. I will wait until the day you are willing to talk about it."
Nanqianyue lowered her eyes, automatically changing the subject, "In the capital, how do others view you and me?"
Qin Yi was silent for a moment, then said, "You admire me and want to marry me."
"What?" Nan Qianyue really wanted to pick her ears.
Qin Yi raised an eyebrow. "That's how it's been circulating in the capital."
"Are you sick in the head?" Nan Qianyue scoffed, wondering if the people from the capital were blind and deaf.
Qin Yi laughed, "There's nothing shameful about liking me. It just means you have good taste and have chosen the most suitable man for you in the world."
Southward Migration Month: ...
To be this confident is truly remarkable.
"Don't you have anything else to say? Aren't you afraid I'll expose your relationship with Nan Xiang?" Nan Qianyue asked, raising an eyebrow.
Qin Yi gazed into her captivating eyes and brows, "Just be yourself, leave the rest to me."
"However, I must remind you of one thing: Madam Nan is a person who values etiquette very much. You need to restrain your temper in front of her to avoid being scolded."
Nan Qianyue's brows furrowed slowly. "...Alright then."
"If you don't want to be restricted, you can marry me sooner rather than later. There will only be one mistress in the Anzheng Prince's Mansion, and no one will dare to interfere with you." Qin Yi had a faint smile on his lips, and a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Nan Qianyue glared at her and said sarcastically, "I don't believe that someone your age doesn't have a concubine or maid in his household. You dare to make empty promises to me, do you think I'm a child?"
At this age...
Qin Yi's face was dark and his voice was cold and sullen. "I'm only twenty-six. How am I old? Besides, I only have maids and servants in my household. There are no unclean women here."
Nanqian Yueban was skeptical. He didn't seem like someone who hadn't eaten people before. If there was no one in the mansion, he might be a frequent visitor to brothels.
"Oh," Nan Qianyue replied casually.
Qin Yi was quite anxious and frustrated to see her lack of confidence, but he didn't explain further. He would prove it to her slowly through his actions in the future.
"Tomorrow, the Prime Minister will take you back to the capital. The journey is long, and I will have Qingyi and Hongyi escort you." Qin Yi unconsciously took Nan Qianyue's hand again.
Nan Qianyue tried to pull her hand away, but failed. She warned, "Qin Yi, please don't touch me inappropriately. It's very impolite."
A dark glint flashed across Qin Yi's eyes, his aura heavy. "When he held your hand, you didn't seem to have any complaints. Now that he's moved south, are you truly in love with him?"
Nan Qianyue looked at Qin Yi with the eyes of someone looking at a mental patient, utterly speechless, and said, "How desperate am I for men that I have to find someone I like?"
Taking advantage of Qin Yi's momentary daze, she withdrew her hand, stood up, and coldly said, "Please remember, marriage is not a necessity for me. Living happily and freely, and doing things that I find meaningful, is my principle."
After saying that, she turned and left.
That night.
I had another nightmare during my southward migration month.
In her dream, she was suspended by wires, floating high in the air, surrounded by real scenery, with mountains, water, and a cliff below.
Suddenly the director yelled "Cut!" and the crew immediately used wires to slowly move her to a safe area.
However, an unexpected incident occurred: the steel cable snapped!
Without any warning, she plummeted towards the cliff, the intense feeling of weightlessness causing her heart to pound violently.
Her gaze shifted, and she watched herself fall from a third-person perspective, her jade-colored skirt billowing and slowly obscuring her terrified face...
"ha--!"
The moon, which had just migrated south, awoke with a start and remained in shock for a long time.
She recalled the brief nightmare, her eyes widening in shock.
Cliff! Jade-colored ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress)!
That was an aerial action scene she was filming before she came here. Suddenly, the steel cable snapped and she fell off the cliff... She time-traveled!
So that's how she traveled through time!
What about before?
Xiao Chen said that before she traveled through time, she was filming a scene where she was rescuing a woman who had fallen off a cliff. Could it be that she also accidentally fell off a cliff and then traveled to ancient times?
It must be!
In other words, she would time travel if she had a life-threatening accident?
Nan Qianyue bit her lip, frowning as she pondered. Once she figured out how she had traveled back in time last time, everything would be clear.
Unable to extract any further information from Qin Yi, the only option was to try and contact Xiao Chen. He was the one who knew her background best, and he must know a great deal…
Nanqianyue didn't sleep until dawn.
But she wasn't sleepy at all. She rolled out of bed and prepared to wash up.
"Good morning, young lady. This servant is here on the orders of the Prime Minister to help you change your clothes."
Nanqianyue was startled; she got up in such a hurry that she didn't even see a person kneeling on the ground.
A woman dressed as a maid in a light green dress.
"Get up." The southward migration allowed Yue to adapt quickly.
There's no way around it; the more you act, the more it becomes real.
