Yi Xin as a concubine

The next day, Xin Baoer got up around noon. As soon as she got up, she was told that Master Xin had come. He saw that she had been awakened by a nightmare at night and went to bed very late. He told the maid not to disturb her and to serve her carefully, saying that he would come to see her later.

Xin Baoer nodded dazedly, and only after letting Lancao help her clean her face and hands did she feel more refreshed.

She asked Mother Lin to choose a decent dress for her, combed her hair for meeting guests, put on a few simple pieces of jewelry, and even put on some makeup until her face looked rosy.

Led by Mother Lin, Xin Baoer brought Lancao, and the two of them, master and servant, walked towards the large study in the outer courtyard.

It was not until she reached the door of the big study and was stopped by Mr. Xin's doorman that Xin Baoer, who had kept her head down and only dared to look at Mother Lin's heels all the way, raised her head as if she had just woken up from a dream.

The originally pink little face was slightly flushed because of walking too fast, like an apple that had just ripened on the tree, making people want to take a bite to see if it was as sweet as imagined.

The doorman was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. It was not until Master Xin in the room asked him that he came back to his senses and answered loudly with a red face: "Master, it's the Eighth Miss."

As soon as the doorman finished speaking, there was a sound of a chair being moved inside the room, and then the study door was forcefully opened from the inside.

"Precious girl, why are you here?" The master looked at his daughter with a rosy face at the door and was actually a little bit incredulous.

"I heard that daddy was looking for me. I slept in late and came to apologize to daddy."

Xin Baoer secretly pinched the soft flesh of her index finger with her thumb nail. The slight pain temporarily distracted her from her nervousness, and she spoke clearly and completely in a low and soft voice.

"Why should I apologize? I heard that you had a nightmare last night. Ask your mother to prepare some soothing incense for you, and ask the kitchen to make some soothing soup before you go to bed."

"Master, rest assured. I can save myself the trouble. Why don't you go inside first and talk about it. The young lady must be tired after walking all the way."

When Xin Baoer heard what Mother Lin said, she felt it was inappropriate. After all, the study was always a place where the men in the mansion discussed important matters. How could a girl like her just enter casually? She subconsciously wanted to speak up to stop Mother Lin from finishing her words, but Master Xin reacted much faster than her.

"Yes, yes, yes, Mother Lin is right. Quickly help your young lady in. Erhuzi, go and ask someone to bring some fruits, snacks, tea, etc., and send them over quickly." Master Xin seemed very excited. He gave orders with a grin on his face, and his speech began to become incoherent.

"Daddy, Daddy, please stop being so busy. I just came to ask you, is there anything you want to ask me?" Xin Baoer was placed on a chair. She suppressed her nervousness and spoke to stop her father who was behaving abnormally.

"It's okay, it's okay. It's rare for you to leave the yard. It's okay to stay here for a while."

After the tea and snacks were served, Master Xin calmed down and sat back at his desk. After his daughter put down the tea, he tentatively asked, "Have you been feeling better lately? Are you still feeling unwell?"

"My daughter is fine. Thank you for your concern, Dad."

There were few people in the study, and they were all familiar faces. The father, who was not very familiar to her, sat far away. Xin Baoer felt much less stressed and spoke much more fluently.

"Daddy, do you have something to ask your daughter?" Xin Baoer waited for a while, and seeing that Master Xin was still hesitating and reluctant to talk about the business, she couldn't help but ask again.

"Well, Bao'er, you were frightened at that time, but now you still..."

Master Xin asked carefully, fearing that if he asked rashly, it would remind his daughter of bad things. But before he could finish, Xin Baoer continued.

"Dad, do you want to know what happened to the fire in the library that day?" Xin Baoer's voice was low and soft, with a bit of shyness and timidity. She spoke a little slowly, but her voice was very clear.

Hearing her talking about the fire that day, everyone in the study was a little surprised, but at the same time they showed joy. They sincerely hoped that their daughter (young lady) could get out of that shadow, and it would be even better if she could become braver as a result.

Seeing that everyone was staring at her without saying anything, Xin Baoer felt unsure for a moment and couldn't help becoming timid, fearing that she would talk too much and make her father unhappy.

She secretly glanced in the direction of her father, only to see that he had no intention of blaming her. Instead, he was looking at her with a smile, as if encouraging her to continue talking. The courage that had originally sunk in her heart instantly grew again.

Xin Baoer suppressed her inner excitement, organized her words in her mind, and then slowly began to recount what happened that day. Her voice trembled due to excitement and nervousness.

After sending his daughter away, Master Xin fell into silence. He naturally knew this young general. His name was Zhou Shen, and his father was a deputy general who conspired with the new emperor to rebel. Now the deputy general was promoted to general and was guarding the border for the new emperor, while his parents, wife and children were in Shengjing City. They were said to be enjoying a leisurely life, but the truth was known to those who understood.

This young general Zhou Shen actually had no real job, but because he had a good father, he earned a title of young general in Shengjing. Every day he took a few playboys similar to him to fight cocks, run errands, and sleep with prostitutes, and he was very happy.

But I am just a businessman and I have always been low-key. Apart from making a fortune quietly, I have never done anything out of the ordinary. How did he get targeted by this man, and why did he choose such a hidden and seldom-visited bookstore as his target? Is he just trying to please the new emperor?

He ordered someone to find his two sons and two younger brothers. They talked in the study for a while. When they came out, they all had serious faces and then went about their business.

Xin Baoer naturally had no idea what happened in the study after she left. Even if she knew, she couldn't help. After all, she was still too weak. She was so weak that she just went for a walk in the outer courtyard. When she came back, she felt her clothes on her back were wet with sweat. She was really useless.

After changing clothes and having a delicious lunch, Xin Baoer lay down in bed contentedly. She had woken up late in the morning and could not fall asleep at all. She simply closed her eyes and rested while recalling all her actions of the day.

Today is the first step. Although she still can't hold her head high and appear in front of people with confidence, at least she has gone out, and this is a good start.

After today, she will continue to try to step out of the small world where she lives and try to get in touch with different people. Since God has given her a new identity, he probably wants her to have a different life.

Everything in the previous life is like yesterday's death, and everything in this life is like today's birth. She has been reborn. She is no longer the poor little bullied girl Xin Rubao, but the beloved eighth daughter of the Xin family - Xin Baoer.

In the following period of time, both the master and the servants in the Xin family mansion discovered something unusual: the eighth young lady, who was always so timid that she would never leave the house unless necessary, went out.

The fact that the Eighth Miss went out caused quite a stir in the entire mansion, so no matter where Xin Baoer went, she could feel many pairs of eyes staring at her, making her hair stand on end and even causing her to hear auditory hallucinations.

"It's great that you're good at studying, but you still get bullied by us, hahaha..."

"Tsk tsk, you're a top student, but you're not even as brave as a mouse. If you're so scared, you might as well just hide in your mouse hole and never come out!"

"You nerd, you don't have any more than us even after taking off your clothes? Pah, your tits are even bigger than mine! Hahahaha..."

"Brothers, you haven't tasted what it's like to be a top student yet. Come on, you're good at studying, right? I wonder if you'll learn faster by serving me? Hahahaha..."

All kinds of insults, ridicules, taunts and humiliations came one after another. At this time, Xin Baoer clenched her fists tightly and let her thumb nail squeeze the soft flesh of her index finger. The pain would remind her that all those were in the past. Everything was just her inner demon, and she had to overcome it in order to be reborn.

Every time Xin Baoer came back from going out, her clothes would be wet with cold sweat, so she had to change clothes several times a day. Mother Lin and Lancao felt distressed when seeing this, but for the sake of the young lady, they could not stop her. They could only silently accompany her, encourage her, and take care of her.

Several elders in the Xin family also paid silent attention to Xin Baoer. They felt distressed but also somewhat relieved. The child had grown up and finally wanted to grow up. They could not hold the child back and must ensure that the child had no worries.

So all kinds of soups, fruits, snacks, clothes and jewelry were sent from various courtyards to Xin Baoer's courtyard. While Xin Baoer was suffering mental torture, she felt comforted and touched in her heart, and became more determined to change herself.

While Master Xin was happy for his daughter, he was also a little worried. For a moment, he couldn't figure out whether such a change was good or bad for Xin Baoer.
