Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Seven days later, although Shen Nanyan's foot injury had not healed, she was able to get out of bed and walk for a while. Lu Jiusi had taken care of her in every detail these days, and Shen Nanyan felt that she was almost useless.

After feeling better, she wanted to leave, but was still rejected by Lu Jiusi, who promised to let her leave after a few days of rest. Shen Nanyan's efforts were in vain, so she could only stay for a few more days.

The maple leaves on the mountain were becoming more and more red. It had been almost two months since she left Shangjing. She really didn't dare to stay any longer. Firstly, she was afraid of being discovered, and secondly, she was worried about Aunt Su.

"Please send a carriage to take me out later. I will leave on the hillside not far outside the city. It is more open there."

"The military camp will be preparing to return to Beijing in a few days, let's go together."

"I can't wait. My mother is alone in the mansion."

"I'll ask someone to take care of it."

"Please don't do that. My mother is just a concubine. How dare she interact with outsiders? Who knows what others might say. You're not helping my mother, you're harming her. I'll be leaving soon. Just arrange a carriage to take me out."

Lu Jiusi didn't say anything, just asked someone to serve the meal. After he had a quiet lunch with Shen Nanyue, he asked someone to prepare the carriage.

He had originally thought that he would return to Beijing in a few days, so it would be a good opportunity for them to go together and have someone to take care of him on the way. However, Shen Nanyan insisted on leaving first, and he couldn't stop her. After all, Shen Nanyan's injuries had healed a lot, and it was really inappropriate to keep her any longer.

At noon, the carriage set off. However, it was not just Shen Nanyan, Lu Jiusi was also sitting in the carriage. Shen Nanyan thought that Lu Jiusi was going to see her off, so she didn't say anything. However, after the carriage left the city, it headed towards the barracks. While Shen Nanyan was confused, Lu Jiusi gave her a look that reminded her to stay calm.

"Sit in the carriage and don't move."

After he finished speaking, Lu Jiusi got off the carriage by himself. The sounds of kneeling came one after another outside. Lu Jiusi did not go far and stopped beside the carriage. Soon, Shen Nanyue heard Shen Yunzhi's voice. She quietly lifted the curtain a little and leaned on the window to look out.

The Shen Yunzhi in front of him has transformed into a real man. Half a year of training has made his body stronger and taller than before. His face shows the aura of a resolute and mature man. His skin color is just a little darker, but it does not affect his appearance. Instead, it makes people feel more secure.

Thinking of the hardships her brother had suffered, Shen Nanyan felt a lump in her nose and her eyes turned red.

Outside the carriage, Lu Jiusi personally ordered Shen Yunzhi to be appointed as a captain, and asked him to lead all his men to practice long-range grenade throwing and archery hard, requiring longer distances and higher accuracy.

"I will lead all the brothers to train hard day and night, and will definitely live up to Your Highness's expectations."

In just over half a year, Shen Yunzhi has been promoted to a thousand households, which is quite good. This is all thanks to Shen Nanyue and the grenades she provided. With this skill, Shen Yunzhi will never be a useless person in his life, and the entire court will have to support him.

The carriage went farther and farther away. Shen Nanyan leaned on the window and looked in the direction of the military camp, feeling reluctant to leave Shen Yunzhi.

Lu Jiusi did not disturb her, but just accompanied her silently. Qingxuan drove the carriage very slowly. He understood his master's thoughts, so he arrived at the place at almost 5 p.m. After the two got off the carriage, Qingxuan left tactfully.

"Isn't it too early to leave now?"

"A little bit, it's okay, go back early and rest for a night, it will be just right for you to return to Beijing tomorrow."

"you……"

"My brother thanks Your Highness for taking care of me. I left a few boxes of grenades in the room. Your Highness, please keep them for later use. I hope Your Highness can keep my visit to the border a secret after I return to the capital. I don't want to be the first to stand out, nor do I want to be flattered. I just want to live a simple life. If Your Highness needs my help in the future, please tell me quietly. Otherwise, please pretend not to know me."

"You think so?"

"Yeah, aren't all the women in the capital like this? If I were the only one to get close to His Highness, others would probably accuse me of trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful. I'm just a concubine from the backyard, and I can't stand the gossip. But I will definitely not refuse anything His Highness needs me to do."

Shen Nanyan's words left Lu Jiusi speechless, but he was not in a hurry. Shen Nanyan had not yet reached the age of marriage. No matter what he was thinking, he had to wait until she reached the age of marriage before he could tell her.

"Since you are in my service, I will never let you go to jail."

"In that case, thank you very much, Your Highness."

The shadows of the two were stretched very long by the setting sun, until the shadows disappeared and an airplane appeared in front of them. Shen Nanyan was eager to go home, so she quickly boarded the plane and left, leaving Lu Jiusi alone standing there for a long time. The light of the plane disappeared, but he was still standing there motionless.

That night, Lu Jiusi summoned all the generals to discuss returning to the capital. He didn't know why he was in such a hurry to go back, he just wanted to go back. This was the first time in many years that he wanted to return so urgently.

Shen Nanyan's plane took advantage of the darkness of night and stopped outside the gate of Wanfu Temple when there was no one around. When Caifu saw Shen Nanyan's return, her tears flowed like a river. She hugged Shen Nanyan and cried breathlessly. Shen Nanyan felt very sad seeing this, so she could only tap her feet and pat her back to comfort her slowly.

"Young lady said... that you would only be gone for half a month, but you were gone for two whole months. Do you know how scared I was? Wuuuuuu... Young lady, I'm so afraid something will happen to you. How am I going to explain this to Aunt Su? I... I can't atone for my sins even if I die ten times!"

"I'm back now. Something unexpected delayed me. Sorry to have kept you waiting. Don't worry."

"Wow... Miss... come in quickly. Why have you lost so much weight? Didn't you eat well?"

Caifu pulled Shen Nanyan in, and only then discovered that Shen Nanyan was limping.

"Miss!"

Caifu's sudden rise in voice showed her fear, and she immediately knelt on the ground to check Shen Nanyan's feet.

"What happened? Huh? How could this happen..."

Shen Nanyan pulled Caifu up.

"I just twisted my ankle accidentally. It's almost healed now. Don't make a fuss. It's not fatal."

"That's not what I meant. I went out with the young lady. No matter what injuries the young lady suffered, it was all due to my failure to take good care of her."

"What does it have to do with you? Don't think too much. Go in. I want to sleep. You clean up early tomorrow morning and we'll go back."

When she heard that they were going back, Caifu was overjoyed and immediately walked to Shen Nanyan and squatted down.

"Miss, come up, I will carry you in."

"Need not."

"I've been doing nothing here for the past two months, and I've gained a lot of weight and am much stronger now. Please come up."

Unable to persuade Caifu, Shen Nanyan gently lay on top of her. Maybe Shen Nanyan was really thin, or maybe Caifu was really strong, anyway, Caifu carried Shen Nanyan on her back and walked into the house at great speed.

Caifu is four years older than Shen Nanyan. She stays by her side all day like a nagging older sister, just like a sister.

The next day, before dawn, while Caifu was still asleep, Wu You changed the dressing on Shen Nanyan's wound. The wound had just begun to scab over, and it seemed that the medicine would not be needed for a few days. Although the injury on the foot was not serious, it could only be healed slowly.
