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

Wu Chan couldn't help but speak up when he saw this: "Miss Su, this is none of the Young Master's business. Your mother's death was caused by me."

Su Yanhua was extremely angry. She picked up the sword and stabbed it at him, but it stopped just away from his neck.

"Tell me the truth about this matter."

Wuchan had been carrying this secret for a long time. He lay paralyzed on the ground and told the story from the beginning.

When the Xing clan was first established, there was a war with some of the clan's followers. Because of his father's betrayal, the Xing clan was severely damaged, and he was reduced to the lowest level slave in the Xing clan. His life at that time could be described as worse than death. Even beggars could insult him, and he was bullied every day because he had no food to eat. He was used to it.

It was there that he met Xu Qing, a maid who served the young master's mother. Her status was much more noble than his, but she did look down on him. She even brought him food, which gave him a little comfort in his despair.

Su Yanhua asked: "What happens next?"

Wu Chan fell into deep thought again. "In an accident, I saved the old young master's life and became his attendant. The old young master did not look down on me because of my father's betrayal. Because we are of the same age, the old young master treated me very well, and my relationship with Xu Qing has become closer and closer."

As he spoke, Wu Chan's face suddenly turned sad. "Just when I thought we could live a comfortable life like we did back then, the young master's mother died under mysterious circumstances. Then, those powerful clans began to attack the Xing Clan. The young master suddenly sent those people to the remote Qianceng Cliff. The old young master didn't have control of the Xing Clan, and without their protection, we accepted a Xing Clan mission and infiltrated Yunqin. That's when my relationship with Xu Qing ended."

"Until one day, Xu Qing and I met again. At that time, we were not registered as residents and had to live in Yuliao Cave. One day, Xu Qing went out to look for food and disappeared. When we met again, she had become a maid in the Su Mansion, and I had become a monk on Wuhua Mountain. She asked me to treat Jiang Youbai and gave her Kong Qing as a medicine inducer. Although I was puzzled, I did not doubt her. I thought she was still the kind girl. I could only give her repeated instructions on how to use Kong Qing. Finally, when I heard about Jiang Youbai's death, I realized that Xu Qing had used me."

After he finished speaking, Wu Chan's lips trembled unconsciously, unable to hide the grief in his heart.

"This incident has caused me pain for more than ten years, and I live in regret almost every day." Wuchan's face was full of regret.

"Ms. Su, Jiang Youbai's death was caused by me. If you want to kill someone, kill me."

She could hardly contain her anger, so she picked up Xing Jian's long sword and put it on Wuchan's neck.

"It's your fault. As a doctor, you mistakenly trusted others, which is your first mistake. You used the wrong medicine and killed my mother, which is your second mistake. After making the mistake, you ran away, which is your third mistake."

Wu Chan explained, "I never intended to escape punishment. After I found out, I wanted to go down the mountain and surrender myself, but Xu Qing knocked me unconscious. I then discovered that she had someone impersonate me and kill someone with her healing skills. Master Yi Deng and I have a close relationship, so he let me take this opportunity to go down the mountain and live in seclusion."

He closed his eyes, looking at death with indifference, and said, "No matter how much I explain, it won't bring back your mother's life. Miss Su, please kill me."

Su Yanhua looked at him with gritted teeth and raised the sword in his hand.

Ling Er stepped forward to stop him, but Xing Jian grabbed his arm.

"Young Master—"

……

When Cui'er woke up, she found that the young lady was missing. She hurriedly searched for her in the mountains, but unexpectedly saw Su Yanhua on the way.

Seeing Su Yanhua's dazed and dejected look, she hurried forward to support her.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at the young lady's appearance, she seemed to be frightened by something.

Su Yanhua held Cui'er's arm and said word by word, "Go back to the Su Mansion."

"Miss, your injury hasn't healed yet, you can't go back."

Su Yanhua's eyes gradually focused, and a cold chill shone in them.

"nothing."

In the bamboo forest, Wu'er stepped forward and said to Nalan Yanyu, "Prince, Miss Su just came down the mountain."

He lowered his eyes, his downcast eyes showing no emotion, and he raised his pale fingers to catch the falling bamboo leaves.

"I see."

Su Fu

Xu Qing brought the medicine that Su Ruoxi handed to him. It was bitter and strong, which made Xu Qing frown.

She closed her eyes and drank the medicine in the bowl. Suddenly, bitterness filled her mouth.

"Mother--" Su Ruoxi brought her a bowl of water. She drank a few sips and the bitterness faded away.

She wiped the corner of her mouth with the corner of her clothes and couldn't help asking, "How is the old lady?"

"The doctor came to see grandma yesterday, and she's feeling much better now."

Xu Qing nodded, and looking at Su Ruoxi's hesitant expression, as if there was something she couldn't say, her heart tightened.

"Could it be the old lady——"

As soon as Su Ruoxi heard it, she knew she had misunderstood and immediately shook her head to deny it.

"No, grandma, she's very nice. I just have something to tell you, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."

Seeing her like this, Xu Qing seemed to have thought of something. She snorted coldly, her eyes full of determination.

"Are you trying to say that the person who scared me that day was Su Yanhua's doing?"

Su Ruoxi was stunned. She obviously didn't know how Xu Qing knew that.

"This is all just my guess, and judging by your expression, I guessed it right." She grinned slightly, her eyes filled with a chilling coldness. "I underestimated this girl. She deserves to die just like her mother. But don't worry, after this lesson, I will definitely take precautions."

After she finished speaking, she patted Su Ruoxi's hand to comfort her. However, she saw that Su Ruoxi's brows were still furrowed, and she looked puzzled: "Why, it's not about this?"

At this moment, Su Ruoxi didn't dare to hide it anymore. She quickly pulled her hand away and knelt down, saying tremblingly, "Mother, a few days ago, Su Yanhua and I went to Wuhua Mountain and met Master Wuchan. I was afraid that my past would be exposed, so after I came back..." She said in a conflicted tone, "I took the jade pendant and went to the ghost market."

After saying that, Xu Qing was shocked and asked, "What?"

She straightened up in surprise, her face turning pale, and pointed at Su Ruoxi and shouted, "You actually used that jade pendant."

Seeing Xu Qing so angry, Su Ruoxi tried her best to explain, "Mother, I'm afraid the truth will be exposed. If people find out that you killed Jiang Youbai, not only will your position be in jeopardy, but my position as princess will be in jeopardy too. The emperor only wanted the prince to marry a scheming woman. Mother, this is all for our prosperity and wealth."

Xu Qing was so angry at these words that she felt dizzy. She covered her forehead to wake herself up and recalled what happened that night.

When she handed the jade pendant to Xing Jian, Xing Jian only held it for a few seconds before returning it to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was stunned. She didn't understand what Xingjian meant. She knew that the jade pendant was of great significance to Xingjian. It was her mother's only relic. Why did she suddenly not want it anymore?

Xing Jian did not explain, but said calmly: "Aunt Qing, this jade pendant was given to you by my mother, so you should keep it well. However, this jade pendant can only be a jade pendant."

Xu Qing knew that this jade pendant could mobilize the power of the black market, but the power of the black market was so powerful that even a single move could affect the entire body. In order to conceal the Xing Clan's control in Dayan, she didn't dare to use this power until the last moment. It was only after Xing Jian finished speaking that she realized that Xing Jian no longer considered her a member of the Xing Clan and naturally could not easily use any of the Xing Clan's power.

But unexpectedly, when she was unconscious, Ruoxi actually took her jade pendant and used the power of the black market to kill Su Yanhua. If she killed him, it would be fine. If she didn't, Su Yanhua would investigate it one day and lead to the black market. She would really be a big sinner of the Xing clan.

"Mom, what should we do now?"

Xu Qing quickly calmed herself down and asked, "Where's the jade pendant?"

Su Ruoxi was stunned and quickly gave the jade pendant in her arms to Xu Qing.

"Remember, you haven't been to the black market, and you haven't used this jade pendant. You can't tell anyone about this, okay?"

These serious words made Su Ruoxi feel a little scared, and she nodded her head like a rattle.

At this time, a maid came in from outside. Seeing this situation, she was a little stunned. She still said, "Madam, Prince Mo is here."

After he finished speaking, the two were stunned, and Su Ruoxi immediately stood up and sat in front of Xu Qing.
