Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

This incident frightened Shen Nanyan so much that she couldn't recover for a long time. Before she even started to do anything, Aunt Lan started to commit suicide. Of course, it wasn't just Aunt Lan, but also Mrs. Lu. If this matter were to be exposed, she didn't know how she would save her son.

Seeing that Shen Nanyan didn't speak for a long time, Shang Ci was afraid that he had scared her, so he unconsciously took another step forward and looked down at Shen Nanyan.

"Are you okay?"

Shen Nanyan's thoughts were interrupted by Shang Ci's voice, and she quickly put her mind to it.

"This news is too sudden. I am really scared. Please don't tell anyone else about this."

"I know."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"The woman in the backyard has endless tricks. You..."

"Yan'er!"

As the two were talking, they heard Shen Yunzhi's voice behind them. When they turned around, they saw Lu Jiusi, who was wearing a dark gold and black robe, and Yu Qingcang standing beside Shen Yunzhi. Shang Ci reacted quickly and immediately took two steps back to distance himself from Shen Nanyue.

"Brother, I'm honored to meet His Highness. I'm honored to meet you, Master Yu."

Lu Jiusi didn't say a word, his icy gaze fell on Shang Ci, who looked a little confused.

For a moment, the atmosphere seemed inexplicably awkward.

"Miss Shen knows how to find a good place. This patch of wild chrysanthemums is very dazzling."

Seeing that Lu Jiusi had remained silent, Yu Qingcang took the initiative to speak and break the deadlock.

"I didn't expect that the Duke's Mansion would have such beautiful scenery, so I came to take a look."

"Go back quickly, the piano training over there has already started."

Although he didn't know what was going on, it was definitely not a good idea for his sister to meet a foreign man alone here, so Shen Yunzhi quickly asked Shen Nanyue to leave.

But the next second, Lu Jiusi's face turned even darker. Shen Nanyue glanced at him with a puzzled look on her face, but she still bowed to him according to the rules and immediately stood up and left.

"Yes."

"Um...Miss Shen...Prince, Young Master Shen, why don't we go over first? I heard that Young Master Wei's prize today is the Jiaowei Fengming Flute. You don't know the wonders of that flute..."

Yu Qingcang held one in each hand as he pulled Shang Ci and Shen Yunzhi away, completely ignoring Shen Yunzhi's intentions.

"Ah? ... Yan'er... Master Yu Yu, I... she..."

"Don't interrupt me, listen to me tell you about the flute. Oh... why don't we play a tune too? Maybe we can..."

The three of them walked further and further away. Shang Ci kept his head down and didn't say anything until he was pressed down on a chair by Yu Qingcang. Then he looked up in the direction of Shen Nanyue, but was quickly pulled back by Yu Qingcang.

"Don't look at it anymore. It's a pity that His Highness has handed all the affairs of the capital to you. It turns out that you are not smart either."

Some people have already started chatting with Shen Yunzhi. After all, he is no longer the Shen Yunzhi of the past. Now he has become a new celebrity, so naturally everyone wants to get to know him, Shang Ci said puzzledly.

"What do you mean?"

Yu Qingcang looked around.

"What do you mean? You have no sense at all. Can't you see what His Highness is thinking about the Fifth Miss of the Shen family?"

Shang Ci naturally also felt Lu Jiusi's special feelings for Shen Nanyan, but nothing happened between the two of them at the moment, and he had only said a few words to Shen Nanyan.

"But I didn't do anything!"

"You two haven't done anything yet. You two were chatting in broad daylight by the lake. Who knows what you said? Besides, you looked very intimate just now."

"Have it?"

"We're so close now. Tell me, has His Highness ever had feelings for anyone over the years? Now that he finally has someone he likes, he's naturally watching her more closely than anything else. And you're still so close to his sweetheart. Let alone His Highness, if it were me, I'd definitely..."

"What do you want to do?"

"Why do you care about me? You should think about how to explain to His Highness."

"I didn't do anything wrong."

"It would be better if His Highness believed you."

If Yu Qingcang hadn't said it clearly today, Shang Ci wouldn't have thought it was a big deal. But now that it was out, Shang Ci felt weird. It wasn't a matter of right or wrong, but another strange feeling.

The music coming to his ears seemed to become noisy. Shang Ci couldn't hear anything at all, and his heart couldn't calm down. He kept thinking about Yu Qingcang's words over and over in his mind.

By the lake, Shen Nanyue wanted to leave but felt it was inappropriate, because Yu Qingcang obviously deliberately pulled Shang Ci and Shen Yunzhi away and kept her behind. Then Lu Jiusi must have something to say.

But Lu Jiusi didn't say anything for a long time, just looked at her strangely. Shen Nanyan silently thought about what had happened in the past few days. Apart from Lu Jiusi wanting her to go to the battle with him, there seemed to be nothing else.

In fact, there is nothing much to think about when going to the battle. Even if it is just for her brother to come back early to celebrate the New Year, Shen Nanyan will go.

"I've thought about the expedition. Your Highness, take your men and go first. I'll go after you're ready. I'll only be here for three days, so Your Highness, please make a quick decision so I can return."

"Are you familiar with the prince?"

"Ah? Prince...Prince, it's okay. We've only met a few times."

Although she didn't know why Lu Jiusi asked this, Shen Nanyue still answered. She didn't see him often, but she knew him. Besides, Prince Shang helped her a lot today.

"You... you..."

Halfway through his words, Lu Jiusi suddenly turned around and left, leaving Shen Nanyue standing there at a loss.

"Hey, what do you mean? Aren't you going to talk about the expedition anymore?"

"what ever."

Lu Jiusi dropped two words without even turning his head.

"Is he sick? He's a royal family member, so he's so great! I said a lot of things, but he didn't appreciate it and even got mad at me. He was the one who asked me to do something, so what's his attitude?"

"Hush! Miss, stop talking! That's Prince Huai. He kills without blinking an eye."

"Let him try to kill me. I'll kill him so badly that his father won't even recognize him."

"Miss, please stop talking. I haven't had enough of life yet. Please calm down. Perhaps the Prince of Huai was unhappy about something else today, so he's throwing a tantrum. He's someone that even the Master can't afford to offend. It's better for you not to provoke him."

"Oh, it's so boring, Caifu, did you hear what the prince said just now?"

"Miss, can you please pretend that I didn't hear anything?"

That was the masters' private matter, not to mention it involved Shen Zongyuan. She couldn't believe how angry Shen Zongyuan would be if he knew that she was cheated on. The more she knew, the more dangerous it would be.

"How should I let Dad know?"

"Miss, you or Aunt Su must not be the one to expose this matter, otherwise the master will lose face and who knows how it will end."

"You're right. He should find out himself, or find a way to let Grandmother find out. We can't get involved in this mess."

"I don't know if the master can bear this blow."

"It's better than being deceived for a lifetime, right? Shen Yunyi is really courageous. How come I didn't realize he had such courage on weekdays? He really did a great job quietly."

In fact, Shen Nanyan had already asked Su Xinyuan to find someone to approach Shen Yunyi, and was ready to return the tricks that Lu had used on Shen Yunzhi. Unexpectedly, he gave Shen Nanyan a big gift. I just don't know whether Shen Zongyuan can still keep him in the Shen family after this incident, and how Lu will deal with it.

It’s exciting just to think about it!
