Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Chapter 129 Not as Good as You

The Shen sisters never thought that they originally wanted to embarrass Shen Nanyue, but unexpectedly gave her the opportunity to shine. Now not only did she show her face, but she also left a good impression on everyone. The key was that she won over the noble ladies headed by Chu Xue. There was hatred and resentment in the eyes of the two when they looked at each other.

When the banquet was almost over, Shen Nanyan and Fan Yujun made an appointment to go shopping together another day, and then they were about to leave with Caifu. Unexpectedly, before they had gone far, they were stopped by the Shen sisters on a small road.

"Where is Fifth Sister going in such a hurry?"

Shen Rongying spoke first. Although she had a smile on her face, it did not reach her eyes.

"I'm not afraid that my two sisters will leave me and go away, so I'm in a hurry to find them!"

"There's no outsider here, who are you pretending for?"

Compared with Shen Rongying's implicitness, Shen Lingxi is more direct.

"Isn't it obvious that this is just for you two to see? Why, don't you sisters like it?"

"Shen Nanyan, you're lucky today. Don't let me catch you next time. I won't show mercy next time and will definitely ruin your reputation."

"You're saying it as if Big Sister is showing mercy today."

"It's good that you figured it out. We sisters don't need to hide anything. One day I'm going to make you lose, and make you beg me at my feet..."

"It's not a big deal if I lose, I'm just a concubine's daughter. If Big Sister loses, my future marriage will be in jeopardy. Big Sister, are you sure you want to be an enemy of Yan'er?"

"Haha! You also know that you are just a concubine's daughter. Killing you is as easy as stepping on an ant."

"Big sister, are you going to do it yourself, or let the person behind you do it? We are sisters, remember to give me a quick death."

Shen Nanyan's words made Shen Lingxi's beautiful eyes open slightly. She walked forward with a cold face, grabbed Shen Nanyan's wrist, and her eyes seemed to be popping out.

"What are you talking about the person behind the scenes?"

"Don't you understand what I'm saying, Big Sister? Then... Big Sister, you wouldn't want Miss Chu's maid to explain it to you in detail, would you?"

Shen Lingxi's eyes were obviously panicked.

That was a secret meeting with a man outside her family. If people knew about it, how would she live? But she soon calmed down. She bet that Shen Nanyan just believed Chu Xue's words and didn't really know anything.

"That's just nonsense, I..."

"Miss Shen."

The voice of the Third Emperor's grandson Lu Yichen sounded behind Shen Nanyan. Shen Lingxi's vicious eyes changed instantly, and she became so gentle that it seemed as if water was about to drip out. She immediately let go of Shen Nanyan's wrist.

But at the same time, Shen Nanyan seemed to be pushed hard by someone and fell directly to the ground. The skin on the palm of her hand was scratched and beads of blood appeared instantly.

"Miss."

Caifu hurried to help Shen Nanyan, but Shen Nanyan did not get up. Shen Lingxi was surprised to see Shen Nanyan fall, because she did not use any strength at all. How could Shen Nanyan fall, especially in front of the third grandson? Wouldn't this ruin her image?

At this time, the third grandson Lu Yichen had already walked up to the three of them, and his eyes had been fixed on Shen Lingxi's face, and he had never moved away. Because Shen Lingxi had not let the third grandson succeed, the third grandson was still very interested in her.

"I have met His Highness."

Although the two knew each other well, they still acted like they were meeting for the first time in front of outsiders.

Only then did Shen Nanyan slowly get up from the ground and bowed to Lu Yichen's back.

"My daughter greets His Highness. Since His Highness and Big Sister have something to say, I will go and wait in the carriage."

Hearing someone talking, Lu Yichen just turned his head slightly, glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and soon looked at Shen Lingxi again. However, the next second, Lu Yichen turned his whole body around again. His bright eyes stared at Shen Nanyan without blinking, and the corners of his lips rose unconsciously.

"This... this is your sister, but what about the fifth sister?"

Even if Shen Lingxi was unwilling, she could only answer in silence.

"Exactly. Just a concubine's daughter."

Lu Yichen ignored her words, his eyes still looking at Shen Nanyan, greed in his eyes.

"Were you the one who played the piano just now?"

"Your Highness, that's right."

"I never thought that your zither playing is truly exceptional, and your beauty is truly breathtaking. I'm afraid even the most beautiful flower in the capital can't compare to you."

"Your Highness, thank you for your compliments. I will not interrupt your conversation with my sister."

Shen Nanyan clenched her hands and bowed, then stood up and was about to leave. Lu Yichen seemed to have just realized that Shen Nanyan had fallen and was injured, and reached out to grab Shen Nanyan. Shen Nanyan quickly took two steps back to put some distance between them.

"Shen Lingxi, this is your sister. How could you push her? Look at your hand. It's bleeding. Does it hurt, Fifth Sister? Why don't I take you back and let the doctor bandage you."

The Miss Shen just now instantly changed to Shen Lingxi, and Lu Yichen's expression changed very quickly.

"Do not……"

"Your Highness, I didn't push her. She fell on her own. Don't be fooled by her. A concubine's daughter wouldn't be bothered by such despicable tricks."

Before Shen Nanyan could say no, she was interrupted by the strong Shen Lingxi, so she could only lower her head slightly and play the role of a concubine's daughter who was afraid of angering the legitimate daughter vividly.

"There are rumors out there that you, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, are being bullied by the concubine's daughter. After seeing this today, I'm afraid the rumors are just rumors and cannot be fully believed."

Shen Lingxi panicked instantly. In the past, she was as weak and gentle as a little white flower in front of Lu Yichen, speaking softly. Anyone who saw her would think she was being bullied. Just now, she was so anxious that she couldn't help herself, and her words were harsh and domineering, which made Lu Yichen discover the clues.

"Your Highness, Xi'er felt wronged, that's why... Xi'er is usually very kind to the sisters. It was because Fifth Sister fell down and blamed me, I felt bad, so I scolded her. If you don't believe me, ask Fourth Sister. Fourth Sister, am I right?"

"Alright, alright, I don't have time to care about how you treat my concubine sister now. Fifth sister, wipe it off quickly and stop the bleeding."

Lu Yichen took out his handkerchief from his arms and was about to go forward to wipe the blood off Shen Nanyan's hands. How could Shen Nanyan let him touch her, especially since it was his handkerchief.

"No, no, no... Your Highness, there's no need..."

"Lu Yichen."

"Uncle Emperor."

Lu Jiusi's arrival interrupted Lu Yichen's actions, and Shen Nanyue retreated several steps.

She didn’t know if it was Shen Nanyan’s illusion, but she felt that after Lu Jiusi appeared, her whole body became much colder, as if winter had arrived in an instant.

"The emperor's uncle hasn't left yet."

"how about you?"

"I...I...yes, Miss Shen is injured. I was just about to take her to see a doctor. I'm leaving now."

"Your Highness Prince Huai, I would like to take my younger sister and leave first."

Shen Yunzhi completely ignored what Lu Yichen said, and directly asked to take Shen Nanyan away. If Shen Nanyan and Lu Yichen were really allowed to leave, there would be all kinds of rumors in the capital before tomorrow. What's more, Shen Yunzhi knew about Lu Yichen and Shen Lingxi, and he would not let his sister be involved no matter what.
