The Rebirth of a Daughter: My Lord, I Will Never Be a Concubine

"Yanyan, why are you here?"

A surprised voice came from behind, and Su Yanhua knew who this person was without thinking!

Su Yanhua and Cui'er turned around and saw Xing Jian, dressed in a blue-white jade porcelain robe, walking quickly towards them, his eyes shining brightly.

Following behind Xing Jian was a woman who was gentle and docile, with a smile on her peaceful face.

"Miss Su—"

The woman was Xu Qing!

Cui'er clearly felt that the moment Xu Qing appeared, the lady's mood dropped instantly.

Su Yanhua ignored Xing Jian and walked to the table and poured a cup of tea.

Xing Jian didn't think anything of it, as if he had gotten used to it. He sat next to Su Yanhua, picked up the teapot and smelled it, looking disgusted.

"This tea smells terrible. I'll get you some good tea later!"

"Is it the mist on Mount Lu again?"

"I know you don't like it. Recently, the ghost market has developed a new kind of tea, which is so fragrant!" Xing Jian's eyebrows jumped with excitement.

Su Yanhua paused while drinking tea and looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing sat opposite Su Yanhua, smiling gently without saying a word, but from time to time he looked at Xing Jian with spring-like eyes.

I couldn't drink the tea anymore.

"No, I don't like tea!"

"Then what do you like?" Xing Jian continued.

"The young lady likes to eat the cakes sold on the street, especially the apricot blossom cake sold in the shop in the south. The young lady likes it very much." Cui'er also said.

After she finished speaking, De Cui'er noticed Su Yanhua's warning look and immediately dared not speak.

"That's not easy. I'll go buy it for you. Yanyan, wait for me for a moment!"

After saying that, Xing Jian ran downstairs and disappeared.

"no need……"

Cui'er didn't even have time to say what she wanted to say to stop him.

I almost forgot, Master Nalan just went to buy it!

Without the letter, the two women sitting opposite each other drank tea without saying a word.

Cui'er felt inexplicably strange. This wasn't right. She had seen Xu Qing being very gentle to the young lady before, but why did he seem so hostile now?

"Miss Su, don't you have anything to ask?" Xu Qing spoke first.

In terms of patience, she is not as good as Su Yanhua.

"What is your relationship with Xing Jian?"

Su Yanhua never hides her inner thoughts, she just says what she wants to say.

"Didn't the Master tell you?" Xu chuckled, a hint of sarcasm in his smile. "It seems you're not very important to the Master!"

Su Yanhua didn't continue the conversation, but changed the subject: "You are also from the Xing Clan, right?"

Otherwise, Xing Jian would not have mentioned the word "ghost market" in front of Xu Qing.

It was obvious that he did not regard Xu Qing as an outsider.

"Miss Su is very observant." Xu Qing praised.

"So you made me see that scene in the peach forest on purpose?"

"Of course not. I just didn't expect Miss Su to suddenly barge in." Xu Qing said, "I didn't know that the young master actually concealed my existence from you."

"I thought the young master would tell you everything."

No, Su Yanhua knew nothing about Xing Jian!

Xu Qing's question this time left Su Yanhua speechless.

I could only helplessly refute: "Xing Jian and I have nothing to do with each other."

"Really?" Xu Qing's words were lightly suggestive: "Since the young master gave Fengming Jiutian to you, doesn't that mean he has deep feelings for you?"

Su Yanhua was stunned and looked at the glorious bracelet on her hand. It turned out that Fengming was given to her by Xing Jian. No wonder he always knew that she had Fengming on her!

"Fengming is the one given to the young master's wife by the Xing Clan. The young master should have already chosen you, right?" Xu Qingrou's gentle and pleasant voice came like a seemingly soft but extremely sharp arrow, lightly and effortlessly touching Su Yanhua's already sensitive heart, then fiercely piercing into her. Although the words sounded extremely gentle, the deep meaning contained in them was as sharp as a biting cold wind.

Xu Qing tilted her head back slightly, her beautiful eyes gleaming with a complex glint, a mixture of envy, jealousy, and resentment. She bit her lip and continued, "I really don't know what the Master is thinking. If he already has feelings for you, why would he arrange for me to deliberately approach you? Could it be that..." At this point, Xu Qing suddenly realized she had slipped up, and hurriedly reached out her jade-white hands to cover her mouth tightly.

However, Su Yanhua was already deeply shocked by these words. She stared at Xu Qing with eyes wide open in disbelief, her face turning pale as paper.

After a moment's silence, Xu Qing finally seemed to come back to her senses from her panic. She put down her hands awkwardly, looked at Su Yanhua sheepishly, and forced a smile, saying, "Oh, look at my mouth, I really can't speak! But fortunately, you and the young master are now in love and have a tacit understanding. There's no need to dwell on the past anymore."

Cui'er felt that every time Xu Qing spoke, her young lady's aura dropped a little, and her entire aura seemed to freeze into ice.

What does Xu Qing mean by this?

Could it be that Mr. Xing deliberately approached the young lady from the beginning? Did he want to take advantage of her?

Cui'er looked at Su Yanhua's face, which was frighteningly low.

"Miss……"

At this moment, Xing Jian flew over, his fox-like face filled with smiles. He carefully took out the wrapped pastries from his arms, which were still emitting heat.

"Yanyan, eat quickly!"

Cui'er was stunned for a moment: "Xing Gongsun, this doesn't seem to be apricot blossom cake."

"Apricot blossom cake is too bitter. I bought osmanthus blossom cake instead!" Before Xing Jian could finish his words, Nalan Linglong ran over, anxiously shouting, "Wait!"

Several people looked over and Nalan Linglong shouted, "Yan Hua, brother bought you apricot blossom cake."

As she spoke, Nalan Linglong handed the cake in her hand to Su Yanhua and said, "Brother bought it from another shop. This apricot blossom cake is so fragrant."

Su Yanhua looked at Nalan Yanyu who was walking behind her and smiled softly: "No wonder you haven't come back for so long, it turns out you went to another shop."

Nalan Yanyu said gently: "I don't know if this store suits your taste."

Xing Jian's face darkened, and he said in a bad tone, "Prince Nalan is late. I have already bought osmanthus cake for Yanyan, so I don't need your things anymore."

After saying that, Xing Jian was about to take the pastry from Su Yanhua's hand, but Su Yanhua had no choice but to hold on to it tightly.

"Yanyan, apricot blossoms are slightly bitter. Try this first, wait a moment..."

"I want this!" Su Yanhua ruthlessly brushed his hand away, her face suddenly cold: "I don't need you to make a decision for me."

"Yanyan, what's wrong with you?" Xing Jian asked in surprise.

"I hope Mr. Xing can call me Su Yanhua from now on. After all, we are just strangers who have met a few times." Su Yanhua stood a little further away from Xing Jian.

One is the apricot blossom cake that Su Yanhua likes, and the other is the osmanthus cake that Xing Jian thinks she likes. With such a comparison, coupled with Xu Qing's words, how could Su Yanhua feel good?

Such cruel words made Xing Jian's eyes turn cold: "Say it again, you and I...strangers?"

Su Yanhua took a deep breath, suppressed her emotions, and looked back at him: "What else?"

Xing Jian's face darkened, his eyes filled with a calmness that threatened a storm. He said solemnly, "I don't like you saying these things!"

Cui'er and Nalan Linglong looked at each other, and each picked up the other and left the house.

Only Xing Jian and Su Yanhua were left in the room!
