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

On the second day after Su Bing said those words, he received the emperor's edict, ordering General Su to escort the Princess of Yan back to the capital, and to set off immediately without delay.

Old Lady Su seemed to have listened to what Su Yanhua said and volunteered to guard the tomb of Empress Dowager Xiaoxianzhuang. The Emperor was deeply moved and asked General Su to escort Old Lady Su as well.

When Su Yanhua heard this that day, her face turned cold and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

I didn’t expect that day would be our farewell!

But it’s okay. Mrs. Su’s decision means she understood what she said.

At this time, only Su Ruoxi and Su Yanhua were left in the huge Su Mansion.

On the third day after Su Bing left, Su Ruoxi started to make trouble. She banged on Su Yanhua's door and shouted at Su Yanhua to return Xu to her.

The Jinwu Guards outside were helpless. They couldn't beat her or scold her, but they couldn't drive her away. Seeing that Su Ruoxi was just yelling a few words, they just let her go.

Su Yanhua didn't want to pay attention to her either. She didn't even know where Xu was, so how could she return her to her?

She got the wrong guy, okay?

Su Yanhua ignored her, and Su Ruoxi was furious. She banged on Su Yanhua's door with both hands, making the poor door shaky. Su Ruoxi knocked for an hour, then stopped because she was tired.

Su Ruoxi persisted in such a boring way for three whole days!

After Su Yanhua finished meditating, he did not hear Su Ruoxi's noisy voice outside, and felt a little confused.

He has changed his temper today and stopped knocking!

After asking Cui'er, I found out that Mo Cerong came at noon today.

No wonder, Su Yanhua sneered in her heart: Now she is pretending to be a lady!

After Su Yanhua finished her meal and was about to take a nap, the door suddenly opened.

Mo Cerong carefully held the bright yellow imperial edict in his hands and slowly approached. He stood tall and straight, like a pine tree standing proudly in the wind, his steps steady and powerful. The sunlight fell on him, as if shrouding him in a golden glow.

He pursed his beautifully lined yet slightly thin lips, the corners of his mouth drooping slightly, casting an even colder shadow over his already stern features. He exuded an innate aloofness, as if nothing in the world caught his eye.

When he was a few steps away from Su Yanhua, Mo Cerong stopped and said in a cold and majestic voice: "Su Yanhua, accept the order!"

Su Yanhua took a deep breath and knelt down.

"Su Yanhua, the eldest daughter of the Su family, has been arrogant and domineering in the past, and her behavior is similar to that of killing her father and mother. She is hereby confined to her house as a punishment. In consideration of Su Bing's loyalty, courage, hard work and great achievements, this punishment will not be repeated except for Su Yanhua."

Su Yanhua took the imperial edict, held it in his hand, and said nothing.

Mo Cerong looked at the delicate little face, lowered his head and drooped his brows, hiding all his emotions.

"General Su requested an imperial decree specifically for you. Now you are free."

Su Yanhua tilted her head slightly, a cold, disdainful smile playing on her lips, a smile that seemed to freeze the air around her. She stared at the man before her with a piercing gaze, demanding each word, "Isn't this just a slap in the face followed by a sweet treat? Humph, I guess you so-called powerful people always act like this, don't you?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Cerong's face instantly darkened, as oppressive and terrifying as the sky before a storm. His eyes widened in anger, and he shouted, "Su Yanhua, shut up! Stop your nonsense!" You have to know that what she said was extremely disrespectful to the current emperor!

However, at this moment, Su Yanhua seemed completely resigned, completely unconcerned about the consequences. Instead of closing her mouth, she raised her chin again, a mocking smile plastered on her face. But that smile seemed so false and forced, revealing the deep anger and resentment within her.

"I just have to say this! You high and mighty people, I'm afraid none of you have any heart! In your eyes, there is probably only endless benefits. People like you who are so cold-blooded and selfish deserve to be alone all your life and end up being abandoned by everyone!" Su Yanhua became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice unconsciously rose eight octaves.

In an instant, Mo Cerong stepped forward and grasped Su Yanhua's jaw, tightening it slightly, just like his tightening heart. His eyes were cold and grim. "Don't say that again next time. Do you hear me?"

There was coldness in both pairs of eyes. Su Yanhua's eyes were filled with unwillingness. She stared at Mo Cerong, as if this was the only way to show her uncompromising attitude, her unwillingness to give in, and her dissatisfaction!

"What? Did I hit you where it hurts? Don't worry, Su Ruoxi likes you no matter what." Su Yanhua said coldly.

He hesitated for a while, and the coldness in his eyes gradually faded. Some emotion seemed to flash in his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash without any trace.

He slowly let go of Su Yanhua's chin and looked at the red mark. There was a hint of guilt in his eyes, but he still took a deep breath and put his hands behind his back.

"I came to tell you something."

Su Yanhua said coldly: "If it's about Su Ruoxi, then there's no need to say anything."

It's nothing more than forgiving Su Ruoxi for what she said!

Unexpectedly, a hint of anger appeared in Mo Cerong's eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Am I such a heartless and ungrateful person in your heart?"

Su Yanhua looked at him, scanning him from head to toe, and snorted coldly: "No, you are only affectionate and loyal to Su Ruoxi."

I don’t know what kind of love potion Su Ruoxi gave him, he likes it so much!

She almost suspected that there was some kind of poison in this world that could make someone completely devoted to her in an instant!

Su Yanhua didn't want to talk to this love-brained guy at all.

A feeling of helplessness surged into Mo Cerong's heart. He knew that if they kept arguing about these things, they would definitely quarrel, and now, he didn't come here to quarrel with her.

So, he changed his mood and spoke calmly: "Answer me first, what is your relationship with Nalan Yanyu?"

Su Yanhua's expression paused, she raised her eyes, and her sharp gaze pierced deeply into Mo Cerong's face.

"What do you ask for this?"

For some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Answer me first!" Mo Cerong asked again in a cold voice.

"friend!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Cerong's expression changed instantly. It was like the calm feeling before a storm was about to stir up a suffocating wave.

"Remember, you have nothing to do with him!"

As soon as these words came out, Su Yanhua's mind seemed to explode with thunder, her eyes widened in fear, and an unbelievable thought swept through her mind.

"What happened to him?" Su Yanhua grabbed Mo Cerong's sleeve and kept asking, "What happened to Nalan Yanyu?"

Seeing Su Yanhua so nervous, a trace of hurt flashed in his eyes.

"Are you so nervous about him?"

"Tell me quickly, what happened to him?"

Mo Cerong's expression was icy cold. "It was discovered that he was a prince of the previous dynasty, and the Emperor has already sent the Jinwu Guards to hunt him down."

Su Yanhua staggered in disbelief, her eyelashes suddenly flickered, and her expression began to become a little dazed.

Something seemed to come to mind, and she asked, "Where is Lord Nalan?"

"They were found to be members of the rebellion and have been killed!" Mo Cerong said, "The entire Nalan family was executed last night!"

"Rebels?" Su Yanhua's eyes tightened slightly, and she was surprised for a moment.

Su Yanhua knew that Lord Nalan's life might be in danger at this moment, but she never expected that the charge would be so outrageous!

The Nalan clan has been loyal to Yunqin since ancient times, and their family heritage has never wavered for generations. Lord Nalan has dedicated half his life to protecting the land of Yunqin.

He had led his cavalry on the battlefield, resisting foreign invasions; he had argued in the court, defending Yunqin's stability and prosperity. How could such a loyal man be a rebel who disrupted the court and endangered the country? It was simply nonsense!
