Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

However, when Shen Lingxi mentioned this to Shen Zongyuan, Shen Zongyuan flatly refused and said that unless he died, there was no possibility that Shen Nanyan would marry into the Yue family.

It's not that Shen Zongyuan likes Shen Nanyan so much, but he doesn't want his two daughters to become enemies because of a man. Moreover, he knows that Yue Hanzhou has no feelings for Shen Rongying, so it is even more impossible for him to let Shen Nanyan share Shen Rongying's favor. She is the daughter of Aunt Lan and the daughter he truly loves.

Seeing that Shen Zongyuan's words were not convincing, Shen Lingxi did not insist any more and quickly left Shen Zongyuan's yard. However, after leaving the house, her expression, which had just been docile, changed.

As soon as Shen Lingxi entered Lu's courtyard, she was furious and sent everyone out. She threw herself into Lu's arms with an unhappy face.

Mrs. Lu hugged her daughter and looked up at Madam Zhao. Madam Zhao understood and turned around to close the door.

"But where did you suffer any injustice?"

"Mom, why on earth did Dad start protecting that bitch Shen Nanyan? She's a concubine, and marrying into the general's mansion as a concubine is a blessing for her, but Dad would never agree."

"Would you like Yue Hanzhou to marry your two sisters?"

"Why wouldn't I want to? I don't want to marry him anyway. What's the difference between him marrying one or two?"

"Marrying into the Yue family is indeed a high-class marriage for them. Does Yue Hanzhou agree?"

Shen Lingxi sat up from Lu's arms, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"I said Yue Hanzhou disagreed. It would be fun if these two bitches married into the Yue family and caused chaos in the Yue family. It would also allow our Shen family to live in peace."

"But how could your father be willing to let Shen Nanyan interfere with his precious daughter's marriage."

"That's what I'm saying. It's so annoying."

Mrs. Lu stroked the back of her daughter's hand, thinking about how to make Shen Zongyuan agree. Shen Lingxi also lay weakly on the table, with what Shen Zongyuan had just said in her mind.

"Ma'am, Miss, this is actually not difficult."

Madam Zhao's deep voice interrupted their thoughts.

"Madame Yin has a solution?"

Shen Lingxi became more energetic after hearing what Aunt Zhao said.

"If General Yue wants to marry the Fifth Miss, it doesn't necessarily require Master's consent. As long as they have physical contact, Master will have to agree, no matter how reluctant he is."

"Yes, mother, we just need to make it a done deal and see how father can refuse. It's just that we didn't succeed during grandmother's birthday party, so what else can we do now?"

"It's definitely not possible to ask her to volunteer. We have to encourage her to do so. We have to think long and hard."

With an idea in mind, Mrs. Lu and Shen Lingxi were no longer upset. The mother and daughter discussed how to make Shen Nanyan commit herself to Yue Hanzhou, and then make a big fuss so that Shen Nanyan would have to enter the Yue family.

However, before the mother and daughter's plan was implemented, the news of His Royal Highness Prince Huai's return to the capital had already spread.

The most excited person was Aunt Su, who had been waiting at the door since early morning for Shen Zongyuan to come home. After confirming with Shen Zongyuan that Prince Huai would indeed enter the city tomorrow, she could hardly hold back her tears of joy.

So he happily rushed to Shen Nanyan's yard. He almost fell down several times on the way, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all. As soon as he entered the door, he went straight to Shen Nanyan's bed and gently pressed Shen Nanyan, who was about to get up, onto the bed.

"Don't move, I'm just happy. Your brother is finally back in Beijing. He's been gone for almost a year. Mother has been waiting day and night, afraid that something might happen to him while he's out there. Thank God, thank God!"

"I've already told you, brother will be fine. Mom is just worrying too much."

"You're just being stubborn. If you weren't worried about your brother, why would you have gone back to the temple to pray for two months? Now you're back home, hahahaha... No, winter is about to come to the capital. I have to go and sort out your brother's clothes and dry them out in the sun, and then have someone clean up his yard. You take a rest. Mother has someone stew some tonic for you and will bring it to you soon. Just be obedient and eat everything, okay?"

Seeing Aunt Su so happy, Shen Nanyue couldn't help but feel happy too and nodded to Aunt Su.

"I know, go ahead, Mom."

Shen Nanyan naturally understood Aunt Su's feelings, because Shen Yunzhi meant the same thing to her and Aunt Su.

Some were happy and some were worried. After hearing the news that Prince Huai had returned to the capital, Shen Yunyi immediately rushed back to the mansion to confirm the authenticity of the news with Mrs. Lu. After getting a positive answer, his angry eyes almost spitted fire.

Their original plan was to find someone to kill Shen Yunzhi at the border, so that he would never have the possibility to return to the capital, but they never received any news of success. Now that Prince Huai has returned to the capital, if he has nothing to do, he will naturally come back with him. Isn't this a great opportunity missed in vain? Who knows when the next chance will be.

Lu naturally had the same idea as Shen Yunyi, but now that things had come to this, there was no point in complaining.

"Is your imperial examination this time..."

"Mom, this is Shen Yunzhi's business now. Why are you bringing up my science exam?"

"Will you not take the imperial examination if Shen Yunzhi doesn't die? Do you know that if Shen Yunzhi achieves even a little success on the battlefield, he will surpass you? If you fail the imperial examination again, ask your uncle to find you a job. Otherwise, how can you arrange marriage with nothing to do all day? Are you going to have to live with those unpresentable women in your room?"

"But what job can my uncle give me? I won't do anything too menial."

"He's your own uncle, how could he let you do such a menial job? Okay, go to your uncle's house more often recently. Mother will bring this up later."

Of course, Mrs. Lu would not just think about letting her brother find a job for Shen Yunyi. She also planned to send someone to keep an eye on Shen Yunzhi and find a suitable opportunity to take action. Only when Shen Yunzhi was completely dead could she and Shen Yunyi feel at ease.

At noon on the second day, Lu Jiusi led a group of people into Shangjing City. Many officials knelt at the city gate to welcome the Ninth Prince back to the capital, and the people rushed to fill the streets.

Eight horses led the way, and then a seemingly low-key pure black carriage appeared. This carriage was twice as big as an ordinary carriage, and the windows were covered with black gauze, so the scene inside could not be seen. Only a tall figure could be vaguely seen. However, Lu Jiusi inside could see both sides of the street clearly, but the carriage had been driving for a long time, but he still didn't see the person he wanted to see. His deep eyes became darker and darker, and even Qingyu Qingxuan, who was protecting the side of the carriage, felt the inexplicable coldness pressing down on him.

Shen Yunzhi, who was following behind the carriage, had an expression of excitement on his face that he couldn't suppress. This was the first time he felt welcomed by people. In the past, he had only been despised by others. When had he ever had such an honor? The sense of pride that came from his heart made him realize that all his hard work in those days was worth it.
