The other children felt a twinge of envy as they saw Su Ning and Su Cheng flaunting their new clothes.

They yearned to have a sister-in-law like Qin Zhenzhen!

They were even willing to do the same work that Su Ning and Su Cheng did. After all, why were they being treated differently when they were all doing the same tasks?

Back at home, Su Ning busily took charge of cooking. “Third Sister-in-law, take a break. I’ll handle lunch today.”

Qin Zhenzhen had left some seasonings at home, and she had even bought pork and pork bones. So Su Ning intended to showcase her cooking skills.

Meanwhile, Su Cheng ventured into the backyard to gather vegetables.

Qin Zhenzhen, on the other hand, didn’t idle around either. She carried the yam roots she had dug up the previous day to the backyard pool to wash them.

After the meal, Qin Zhenzhen began drying shrimp shells and grinding them into powder using a small stone mill. Su Ning assisted her, while Su Cheng cut yams in the yard.

Soon, Su Cheng approached Qin Zhenzhen and said, “Third Sister-in-law, your Fourth Brother is here.”

Qin Zhenzhen found it peculiar. What was Fourth Brother doing here?

On market day, Eldest Brother slaughtered a pig, and Second Brother and Third

Brother jointly dealt with a bull. By the time she lett the town, the pork and beef were almost completely sold out.

Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, and Fourth Brother hadn’t participated in selling meat at the polder since they were occupied with farm work.

At this point, Eldest Brother and the others should have finished selling meat and returned home.

So why did Fourth Brother come to her instead of tending to the farm?

Qin Zhenzhen exited the kitchen and found Qin Silong waiting for her in the living room.

“Zhenzhen…”

Qin Silong’s face displayed a mix of sadness, guilt, and worry. His emotions were complex and difficult to decipher. Sensing his troubled state, Qin

Zhenzhen directly inquired, “Fourth Brother, is something wrong at home?”

Shaking his head, Qin Silong responded, “I’m fine at home.”

Relieved, Qin Zhenzhen let out a sigh and pressed further, “Then why do you look so troubled? Did something happen to you personally?”

She tried to recall the events from the book. Before Qin Silong joined the army, nothing significant occurred.

Qin Silong’s expression became even more intricate.

“Zhenzhen, can we talk privately?”

Growing increasingly confused, Qin Zhenzhen asked, “What is it?”

Approaching Qin Zhenzhen, Qin Silong whispered, “Have you had a long dream recently?”

Startled, Qin Zhenzhen replied, “What do you mean?”

Was it possible that Qin Silong already suspected her true identity?

Had their grandmother disclosed the truth to him?

That didn’t make sense. If it was their grandmother who had revealed everything, he wouldn’t be asking about her dreams. He would have questioned her directly about her true identity!

Qin Zhenzhen composed herself, realizing that as long as she didn’t admit to replacing their sister, no one would ever discover the truth.

She had not only taken over her sister’s body but also inherited her sister’s memories. How could she expose that?

Qin Silong led Qin Zhenzhen to the study and closed the door, speaking in a hushed voice. “If you hadn’t had those vivid dreams, how would you know so much?”

Qin Zhenzhen possessed knowledge and skills in cooking and making seasonings. Additionally, she had reached a sudden realization and made the decision to divorce Su Bin.

Attempting to explain, Qin Zhenzhen began, “Didn’t I mention that someone taught me how to make seasonings…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Qin Silong interrupted her, warning, “Zhenzhen, don’t lie to Fourth Brother because he also had a vivid dream!” Qin Zhenzhen was once again taken aback. “What kind of dream did you have?”

Qin Silong locked eyes with Qin Zhenzhen and replied, “I lived through my entire life in that dream, until I met a tragic end!”

“What?” Qin Zhenzhen nearly stumbled backward.

Could it be that Qin Silong had dreamt about his past life?
