Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Because it was Princess Chunxi who invited them, Shen Zongyuan and the old lady had no objection, but Mrs. Lu was not very happy. Shen Lingxi, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, was beaten up by Princess Chunxi, but Shen Nanyue, a mere concubine's daughter, became friends with Princess Chunxi.

But no matter how angry she was, it was useless. She could only watch Shen Nanyan get on Princess Chunxi's carriage with a smile on her face. Turning back, the mother and daughter looked at each other, and both saw displeasure in each other's eyes.

Shen Zongyuan felt relaxed and at ease, thinking that it might be beneficial for his daughter to make such a friend in the future.

"Yan'er is very different from before."

Shen Zongyuan's love for Shen Nanyue was beyond words, and Mrs. Lu smiled and took Shen Zongyuan's arm.

"Yes, being able to be on good terms with the princess is a unique opportunity in the entire capital. However... Master, the princess is a member of the royal family. Things change rapidly in the palace. If... if anything changes, I don't know if we will be implicated."

"What are you talking about? Prince Xing doesn't participate in factional disputes or form cliques. He is only loyal to the emperor. How could he be implicated?"

"But the emperor is old after all..."

"Shut up! Is this something a woman like you from the backyard can say? Do you want your whole family to die with you?"

"Master, I'm also doing this for the Shen family's own good."

"Watch your mouth. Don't say things like that again. Be careful of unexpected disasters."

After scolding Mrs. Lu, Shen Zongyuan turned and walked towards Aunt Lan's yard, leaving Mrs. Lu standing there angrily.

"Mom, Dad doesn't take you seriously."

"He's been disliking me for a while now. It's okay. One day, Mom will make him regret it."

"It's not difficult to make him regret it. Aunt Lan is already six months old. Will Mother really let her give birth to that bastard? If this bastard is gone, Father will naturally be very sad."

"Shut up, what a bastard."

Mrs. Lu turned around and looked around.

"Don't say such things again, and don't secretly attack Aunt Lan's belly."

"Mom, what are you talking about? Why are you protecting that bitch? Have you forgotten how she treated you?"

In the past, Mrs. Lu always hated Aunt Lan to the core, and almost crushed her to ashes. But today, she changed her usual behavior and defended Aunt Lan. It was so abnormal that Shen Lingxi thought that Mrs. Lu had been replaced by someone.

"You know what? Anyway, listen to your mother and don't act rashly."

"But why?"

"I can't tell you the reason now, just listen to me."

Mrs. Lu did not explain too much to her. For some things, the fewer people who know, the safer it is. Although she did not ashamed of her son's behavior, things had already happened and the child was now grown. There was no other way except to protect her.

However, Mrs. Lu's hatred for Concubine Lan did not change. She had already decided that after Concubine Lan gave birth to a child, she would kill the mother and keep the child.

In the carriage, Shen Nanyan had her long hair tied up, without any decoration, and changed into a dark-colored robe, which was simple and neat, and at the same time made her small face even more elegant. Princess Chunxi stared at Shen Nanyan with amazement in her eyes.

"As expected, she has an outstanding appearance. Even if she wears a piece of rags, she is still dazzling."

"Is the princess praising me?"

"Well, what else can I do? Tell me, who will be the lucky recipient of a beauty like you in the future?"

"I won't marry anyone. It's meaningless."

"Why are you saying that? You're so old at such a young age. If you don't marry your mother, will your brother agree?"

"I can convince them."

"By the way, your brother... I met your brother once. He is as outstanding as you."

"What's the point of being outstanding? You have to live."

"I don't understand what you mean, but is your brother married?"

"Shen Yunyi doesn't even try to find a partner, so how could the Lu family possibly arrange a marriage for my brother? We have to wait until Shen Yunyi has chosen one before we can point it out to my brother."

"Oh, that's good!"

A shy smile appeared on Princess Chunxi's face.

"what?"

"It's nothing. This Lu family is really vicious. She was too gentle with Shen Lingxi last time. She has to teach her a lesson when she has the chance."

Perhaps because she was afraid that Shen Nanyue would discover her thoughts, Princess Chunxi quickly changed the subject. Not long after they left the city, they saw Lu Jiusi's secret guard Xuanying.

Without much delay, Shen Nanyan said goodbye to Princess Chunxi and got on Xuanying's carriage. The carriage turned and drove into the deep mountains on the other side. About two hours later, Shen Nanyan's waist was almost broken, and the carriage stopped.

Shen Nanyan jumped off the carriage and was about to talk to Xuanying when she looked up and saw Lu Jiusi standing not far away. She immediately felt unhappy and the smile disappeared from her face, but she also knew that this was inevitable, so she still walked over.

"Your Highness."

"Um"

Not only Shen Nanyan was unhappy, Lu Jiusi also felt uncomfortable. He actually wanted to say something to Shen Nanyan, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only respond faintly.

Seeing that he was so indifferent, Shen Nanyan didn't want to talk to him anymore. She turned her head to look, but Xuanying had already left quietly. There was no one around, so Shen Nanyan didn't ask Lu Jiusi's opinion. She just waved her hand to take out a plane and sat in it. How could Lu Jiusi not feel Shen Nanyan's cold attitude, but he didn't know how to resolve it, so he could only sit in without saying a word.

Soon the plane took off and flew all the way to the border of Yujing Kingdom, but neither of them spoke along the way. Shen Nanyan looked straight ahead, and Lu Jiusi tilted his head, only occasionally glancing over and secretly taking a look at Shen Nanyan, so the atmosphere was very depressing.

Shen Nanyan didn't understand either. He had clearly left with the army half a month ago, so why was he here again? But then she thought about what did it have to do with her.

He is the Prince of Huai, the emperor's most beloved prince. He can do whatever he wants. He even asked Princess Chunxi to take over his position without discussing it with him in advance. So now he has no control over what she wants to do.

After figuring it out, Shen Nanyan stopped worrying about it and her mood gradually improved. After all, she went to help for her brother, so she didn't care about what happened to other people.

When they arrived at Yujing Kingdom, it was already early morning of the next day. The plane stopped at the top of a mountain outside the city. The outline of the entire city could be vaguely seen. Shen Nanyue got off the plane and rubbed her arms. It was much colder here than in Shangjing. Seeing this, Lu Jiusi took off his cloak and wanted to put it on Shen Nanyue, but he just stood behind her and didn't dare to step forward.

Just as he was hesitating, Shen Nanyan turned around and got back on the plane, and the two still didn't say a word.

When a flash of orange appeared in the sky, a red firework bloomed in the air. Lu Jiusi took out a firework from his arms and released it.

"Has it started yet?"

Shen Nanyan appeared behind him.

"Ah."

It was the same word again. Shen Nanyan didn't even bother to look at him again. She walked to the other side, waved her hand and took out another plane. Without even saying hello to Lu Jiusi, she got on the plane and started to take off.

Lu Jiusi chased after her and tried to call out to Shen Nanyan, but he had no chance at all. He could only watch Shen Nanyan's plane leave quickly.
