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

The scenery in the courtyard is very beautiful. The rockery is piled up and surrounded by a pond, in which you can see the swaying tails of goldfish. The corridor around the courtyard can shelter from wind and rain. There are maids guarding in front of the curtain, and there are also maids standing under the corridor, all with their heads down and silent.

It was because there was a man in black clothes in the courtyard, with his eyebrows furrowed into his temples and an expressionless face. He stood in the center of the pond, rubbing his hands gently from time to time, as if trying to hide his inner anxiety.

"Your Majesty—"

The man turned around and rushed forward with a cry of surprise. He asked anxiously, "Did you find anything?"

The man was about thirty or forty years old, dressed in official uniform, and his face was full of joy. "Your Highness, a woman who looked very similar to the person you described appeared in our village the other day."

Mo Cerong asked anxiously, "Bring it here for me to see."

The man bowed politely, waved his hand, and said in a domineering tone, "Bring the young lady here."

Mo Cerong was a little panicked. Last time, there were many assassins, all of whom were highly skilled in martial arts. He and Su Ruoxi had a narrow escape from death. How could Su Yanhua face so many assassins? Moreover, because he was anxious at that time, he slapped Su Yanhua, and he didn't know if he hurt her.

He was afraid of seeing her injured and pale, but he also longed to see her safe.

There were sounds of footsteps, and Mo Cerong looked up and saw a woman in a white dress and a veil walking towards him. She was very elegant, with a hint of shyness in her eyes.

The brilliance in Mo Cerong's eyes suddenly went out.

The man waved his hand and said, "Why don't you lift your veil when you see the prince?"

The woman looked at Mo Cerong shyly, her eyes were moist and rippled, and she was about to pull open her veil.

Mo Cerong said in a deep voice, "No need."

The man paused, looking at Mo Cerong in confusion: "Prince?"

"It's not her—"

As soon as the woman walked out, he knew it couldn't be Su Yanhua. Su Yanhua walked casually and confidently, not in such a timid manner.

The man wanted to explain again: "Your Highness, this woman did come down from Wuhua Mountain some time ago, and she is also seventeen or eighteen years old."

Xuan Tie, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask, "The woman the prince is looking for knows martial arts. Does she know martial arts?"

The man was stunned and stammered, "This...this..."

The prince’s preferences are too hard to guess. He doesn’t like shy and lovely women, but he likes women who are good at martial arts?

Could it be that the prince likes to play hard to get?

"Sir Wang, if you dare to fool me again, I will take off this black hat from your head!" Mo Cerong's eyes turned cold.

Lord Wang was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, his face panicked and beads of sweat streaming down his forehead.

"Your Majesty, please give me one more chance to redeem myself! There are still several villages below that have not yet been searched. I will do my best to do my best."

"Your Majesty—"

The guard came over and said politely, "Your Highness, a woman in Ren Village fell off the cliff of Wuhua Mountain some time ago. Her figure and face are exactly like what Your Highness described."

Mo Cerong's eyebrows were firm: "Take me there—"

"yes-"

Mo Cerong strode forward with great speed, each step carrying a sense of determination and resolve. Lord Wang, upon seeing this, quickly stood up and nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead as he chased after the prince.

What just happened really scared him, and he dared not be careless anymore.

However, at this moment, someone suddenly reached out and grabbed Lord Wang. Lord Wang turned around in confusion, looked at the person in front of him and asked, "What's wrong?"

The servant who held Lord Wang said seriously, "Sir, we just found out that there is a woman in Liuwang Village who is exactly the same as the one described by the prince, but this woman is accompanied by a man."

Hearing this, Lord Wang answered without hesitation: "That's definitely not it." He subconsciously turned his head to look at the prince's back as he walked away in the distance, and his heart became more and more anxious.

The prince was only looking for a woman, and there was no mention of a man. Time was pressing, and he couldn't let this uncertainty delay his work. So, he said to the servant, "Go check other villages."

After saying that, he pushed the servant away and chased after him with trembling legs.

Lord Wang didn't expect that he missed the correct answer this time, and he has to make amends again!

Su Yanhua didn't expect that the herbs that were always in sufficient supply were sold out. She frowned, and her beautiful face looked a little gloomy.

"Boss, the other day you told me you could take as many herbs as you wanted, and today you said they were sold out. Are you kidding me?"

The shop owner didn't dare to nod. He looked at Su Yanhua apologetically and said, "Miss, I didn't lie to you. Those herbs are not expensive. I'll give you as much as you want, but we are really sold out now."

Su Yanhua didn't believe it, so she walked around the front desk and went to the box where the herbs were placed.

She had clearly seen that the place was full of herbs the day before. How could they have been sold out in just one day?

She opened the medicine box and found it was empty, without even a trace of herbal residue.

The shop owner said, "I didn't lie to you."

Su Yanhua asked, "Boss, do you know who bought them?"

Without the herbs, Nalan Yanyu's injuries cannot heal, so she must have these herbs!

"Wang Defa bought it."

Su Yanhua was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Who is Wang Defa?"

The shop owner asked, "You're not from out of town, are you? You don't even recognize the village chief's son?"

Su Yanhua adheres to the principle that it is better to have less trouble than more.

"Don't worry about that. Just tell me where he is."

The shop owner walked toward the street and pointed out the area: "His house is easy to find. Walk to the end and you'll see a house. That's his house."

Su Yanhua thanked him: "Thank you!" Then she turned and left.

"etc-"

The shop owner stopped her and said, "Are you going like this?"

Su Yanhua looked at her clothes in confusion.

Are there any rules for visiting the village chief’s house?

The shop owner looked at her with pitiful eyes, as if she was about to encounter something bad.

"I'm just reminding you that Wang Defa is a lecher. He's lured many women from the village into his mansion. I think you..." The shopkeeper shook his head, a look of regret on his face. "It's better not to go. It's just some herbs. Why would you risk a woman's chastity?"

It must be said that this woman had delicate features and a graceful demeanor. He was stunned for ten seconds when he saw her for the first time. He had never seen such a beautiful woman. Wang Defa must have also seen her face and wanted to possess her. Isn't it a good deal for Wang Defa to deceive such a beautiful woman into taking her away?

It's not just cheap, it's like a toad wanting to eat swan meat!

Su Yanhua asked in surprise: "Is there no one to stop him from doing this?"

The shopkeeper replied, "His father is in charge of the entire village. Who dares to mess with him? Besides, he doesn't force women to marry him in public. He simply tricks them into going to his house and then pays them off. Those women still want to get married, so naturally they don't dare to come forward and accuse him. After repeated incidents, he becomes even more rampant."

"I don't know why Xiaohui from Xitou Village would be willing to marry him?" the shop owner murmured.

"Xiaohui?" Su Yanhua asked doubtfully.

What is the relationship between Xiaohui and Wang Defa?

The shop owner said, "She was the most beautiful woman in Liuwang Village. She went shopping with Wang Defa every day, asking him to buy her things. Their affair has long been known to everyone."

Su Yanhua's intuition told her that something was wrong, but she couldn't grasp the reason.

The shop owner couldn't bear to see such a beautiful woman being ruined by Wang Defa, so he tried to persuade her, "Girl, you'd better not go."

Su Yanhua thought for a moment and said, "Thank you, boss, but a friend of mine still needs these herbs." After that, she turned and left.

The shop owner shook his head and said with regret, "Another woman has been murdered."

Su Yanhua crossed the street and suddenly saw a very luxurious house standing at the end of the street, with two servants guarding the door.
