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

"Cui'er, please forgive me for making such a difficult decision. Nalan means so much to me, I simply cannot bear to abandon her. Although the road ahead is full of unknowns and dangers, my heart tells me that I must uphold this friendship and responsibility.

If, by some unfortunate fate, I were to meet with an unexpected and sudden death one day, I hope you wouldn't be overly sad. Life is inherently unpredictable; death and rebirth are determined by fate, while wealth and honor are determined by God. And now, I hand you the indenture you've longed for. From now on, you are free to pursue your own happy life.

Cui'er slowly stretched out her trembling hands and took the thin indenture. Tears streamed down her face like a flood, soaking her delicate face in an instant. She clutched the indenture tightly, as if it were her last straw.

"Miss..." Cui'er burst into tears and choked with sobs.

Wuhua Mountain

Su Yanhua climbed to the highest peak and looked into the distance. The continuous mountain ranges were looming in the clouds and mist, as if a huge scroll was unfolding before her.

The mountains at the foot of the mountain, like giant beasts, slumbered in the green valley. The peaks in the distance pierced the sky like sword tips, as if ascending to the sky.

Occasionally, a ray of sunshine drifts through the misty valley, instantly making the entire mountain range more mysterious and magnificent.

No wonder everyone wants to be the monarch of this world. It turns out that everyone is amazed by the beautiful scenery!

Su Yanhua heard footsteps behind her. She turned her head to look at Master Wuchan with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"Master, how..."

Master Wuchan lowered his eyes, held hands and looked at each other, and ruthless words came from his mouth.

"He told you to go back!"

For some reason, a surge of anger welled up in Su Yanhua's heart.

What did he mean by this? Was he trying to cut off ties with her? Was she, Su Yanhua, a coward in his heart?

Su Yanhua walked around Master Wuchan and looked around. She knew that Nalan Yanyu must be here.

"Nalan Yanyu, as long as you don't want to see me, I will wait for you."

After saying that, Su Yanhua turned and left.

In the distance, towering mountains stand against the sky, like a giant's outstretched hand pointing to the heavens.

There are lush green trees at the foot of the mountain and white clouds lingering at the top of the mountain, as if a natural painting is unfolding before the world.

The clear springs in the mountains gurgle, bringing with them a fresh breath, making people feel as if they are surrounded by natural coolness.

The moon-colored robe blew in the breeze, causing ripples on the lake surface. Those clear eyes were filled with depth and coldness.

This person is the pursued Nalan Yanyu.

The secret guard said, "Your Highness, I've investigated what happened that day. It was the steward Li from the Nalan Mansion who gathered some trumped-up evidence and reported it to the authorities. When the local minister heard about this, he submitted a letter to the emperor!"

There was darkness in Nalan Yanyu's eyes. These things happened too coincidentally, more like someone had deliberately arranged them. Recalling that night when the Nalan Mansion suddenly caught fire and there were wailing and sounds of pain outside, he knew that the emperor was going to take action against him.

It's all his fault. He always relied on luck and ruined the lives of hundreds of people in the Nalan clan.

Thinking of the kind face of Lord Nalan, his heart couldn't help but ache!

His expression was as gloomy as iron, his fists were clenched, his teeth were grinding, and the hatred in his heart was surging like a tide.

"Miss Su just came to see you again!" A voice suddenly came from behind.

Nalan Yanyu's hateful expression froze. He lowered his eyes, and an unknown emotion was revealed in them. A breeze blew by, bringing a layer of coolness.

It seemed like a long time had passed, but it was only a few seconds. He turned around, his face calm but revealing a suffocating indifference. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he said in a light tone: "Don't let her come here from now on."

The footsteps came from near and went far away. Looking at the cold Prince Nalan in front of him, Wuchan sighed in his heart.

The person who was as bright as the moon is finally gone!

Thinking of the righteous and loyal Lord Nalan, a trace of sadness flashed across Wuchan's eyes again. He ordered the monks in the temple to light incense, and he wanted to pray again tonight!

The confiscation of the Nalan clan's property was a shocking event that rocked the capital! For the past few days, even if ordinary people simply went out for a meal, the streets and alleys were filled with rumors. Some questioned the emperor's actions, believing there must be hidden agendas; others were convinced that Marquis Nalan was indeed rebelling. Su Yanhua listened to the discussions for an entire day, but ultimately failed to gather any truly useful information.

When the entire family was about to be executed, everyone noticed that Nalan Linglong was not there, and they presumably thought that she had been rescued by Nalan Yanyu. After all, Su Yanhua knew that Nalan Yanyu was always protected by well-trained secret guards, so protecting him and escaping should not be difficult. However, the key question now was where could the two of them escape to?

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Su Yanhua's mind. Suddenly, her furrowed brow relaxed, and her gaze became resolute. At that moment, a place name clearly emerged in her mind—yes, that's it! She was absolutely certain that Nalan Yanyu must be hiding there.

Filled with hope and longing, Su Yanhua resolutely set out for Wuhua Mountain. Along the way, she kept on going, eager to see the man immediately. But when she finally arrived at Wuhua Mountain, breathless, she was greeted by the news that Nalan Yanyu had locked himself up and refused to see her. This sudden blow was like a bucket of cold water, instantly turning Su Yanhua's once fiery heart cold and lost...

She thought that Nalan Yanyu would treat her as a confidant if he told her these secrets, but Nalan was still afraid of hurting her and did not dare to meet her.

Su Yanhua sneered: "Although I, Su Yanhua, am a woman, I won't be a drag!"

Suddenly, the previously silent bamboo forest began to emit a series of low, rapid rustling sounds, as if countless invisible hands were frantically shaking the slender, emerald green bamboos. At the same time, a biting cold wind howled in, as fierce as a ferocious beast, stirring up clouds of dust wherever it passed. Even more terrifying, along with this cold wind came a murderous intent so strong it was suffocating.

In an instant, dark shadows flickered from the depths of the bamboo forest, and then hundreds of men in black swooped down like ghosts. Their movements, as swift as lightning, instantly startled the vast flock of birds that inhabited the bamboo forest. For a moment, screams and flapping wings echoed one after another, and the entire bamboo forest was disturbed by this sudden commotion.

After landing, the black-clad men didn't pause, quickly forming a neat square formation within the bamboo forest. A hundred well-trained secret guards silently appeared around Su Yanhua, surrounding her tightly. Their gazes were cold and ruthless, as still as a pool of stagnant water, yet they held an endless murderous aura that sent shivers down their spines.

Faced with such a huge formation, Su Yanhua was a little flustered.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a hint of coldness and alertness, and looked at the group of people in front of her with ill intentions calmly and cautiously.

Almost like lightning and thunder, hundreds of secret guards launched a fierce attack on Su Yanhua in unison. Countless figures swept up the storm and came towards Su Yanhua with strong murderous intent.

It was truly like a dark cloud pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it. The entire mountain and field were filled with secret guards in black. If it weren't for her, she would have been willing to enjoy the view!

Su Yanhua formed a protective shield with the light source to block it. In an instant, the faint light of the red light source illuminated the entire sky, which was very beautiful.
