Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

The next day, Shen Nanyan slept until noon. When she woke up, Fan Yujun and Aunt Su were already sitting at the table having dinner. When Shen Nanyan came over, she saw that Fan Yujun's eyes were red, as if she had been crying.

"Are the vegetables in my yard so delicious that they make you cry?"

Aunt Su hurriedly put a coat on Shen Nanyan and pulled her to sit down.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Luckily I was with your cousin yesterday. Otherwise, if someone saw me drinking so much, I don't know what they would say."

"Just to reassure my cousin... I only drank a little."

"I got drunk like that in just a little bit. I got up and vomited three or five times during the night."

"Now that Mom says that, my stomach seems to still be aching."

"I wish you were in so much pain, drink this bowl of millet porridge and take care of yourself. If you do this again next time, I won't care about you."

"Okay, then I'll throw up in my mother's room and see if you can stop me."

Fan Yujun watched the conversation between the mother and daughter and felt extremely envious. She had never felt the love of her mother for a single day, and there was no one else to act like a spoiled child to. She only had a wet nurse who advised her to be humble and keep a low profile every day to save her life. She longed for such motherly love from the bottom of her heart.

As I thought about it, my nose felt sore and my eyes turned red again. Tears as big as beans fell into the bowl and disappeared.

"Why...Miss Fan, what happened?"

Aunt Su quickly stood up and wiped Fan Yujun's tears with a handkerchief. Shen Nanyue also calmed down, as if she had thought of something.

"Mom, Miss Fan might be feeling drunk and uncomfortable. It's okay. You worked hard to take care of us last night. Go back and have a rest. I'll come over to talk to you in the evening."

One was crying and the other was trying to get rid of herself. Aunt Su was also a smart person. She comforted Fan Yujun a few words and told Shen Nanyan to eat well before leaving.

Even after Aunt Su left the yard, Fan Yujun's eyes were still fixed on the door, without blinking.

"There's no empathy in the world. I can't understand the pain in your heart, and it's futile to say anything. But the first half of your life has been like this, so you should treat the second half well. Getting married is your only chance to change your fate, so I still hope you fight for yourself once and don't just marry whoever they arrange for you."

"Can I?"

"Why not? If you really marry into a wealthy family and become a puppet at the mercy of others, or become someone's concubine, it's better to marry a man from an ordinary family and be an ordinary wife, as long as he loves and protects you."

"You mean... but I'm afraid my father won't agree. He'll definitely send me to a wealthy family."

"Knock your father out with a stick and run away from home. Let's see how he can send you off. You're such a spineless person."

Shen Nanyan opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, she was shocked by Princess Chunxi's righteous words.

"Your humble servant greets Chunxi Commandery..."

"Okay, okay, sit down."

Princess Chunxi didn't say anything when she entered the room. She sat down next to Shen Nanyue, picked up the porridge in front of her and took a sip.

"Just eat this crappy porridge?"

"What are you talking about? This is what my mother cooked."

"Is it cooked by Aunt Su? I was wondering why it tasted so good."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the bowl and started drinking. When had Fan Yujun ever seen the princess like this? She sat aside with her eyes dodging.

"How did you come?"

Perhaps because she was familiar with Princess Chunxi, Shen Nanyue was no longer polite to her, not to mention that she herself did not put on airs.

"Just passing by, come in and take a break, what are you guys talking about?"

"We're talking about Miss Fan's private affairs."

"I heard it. Who is your father going to marry you to?"

"My Lord, it hasn't been decided yet."

"Talk nicely. What's the point of replying to the princess? I'm telling you, your father made you marry someone you weren't happy with, so you're making a fuss. Anyway, the person you married wasn't your favorite, so what does it matter if she's dead or alive? Just make a big fuss. Your father has to save face, so he'll either beat you to death or compromise. If you don't fight for it, how do you know it can't be changed? What's there to be afraid of? Death is the worst that can happen."

Princess Chunxi is fearless and even her father may not be able to control her, so of course she dares to make trouble. But Fan Yujun is so fearful and timid that she would never do such a thing.

"I...I remember, I..."

"With your weak nature, I think it's difficult. Oh, by the way, there's a charity sale at Xingbao Hall today. Let's go and take a look."

Xingbaotang is a large charity sale venue. There are two charity sales at the beginning and end of each month. Although most of the items come from pawnshops, there are also some rare treasures.

"Princess and Yan'er, please go. I have to go back. I didn't go back last night. I'm afraid I'll be scolded if I go back now."

"Come with me, what are you afraid of? Let's go together. If your father dares to say a word to you, I will smash his head."

"This……"

"Come along. I've never been to a place like that. After this, I'll take you back and explain to your father."

Just like that, Fan Yujun was taken out of the house again by Shen Nanyan and Princess Chunxi.

The three of them sat in Princess Chunxi's carriage, chatting and laughing. Fan Yujun, who had forgotten the troubles of the Fan family, also became noticeably more lively. The smile on her face never disappeared. This was also the first time that Shen Nanyan saw her laugh so freely.

Xingbao Hall was already overcrowded, so Princess Chunxi's people went to ask the shopkeeper for a room upstairs, but because they came late, it was difficult to handle the matter. The shopkeeper did not dare to offend Princess Chunxi and kept saying nice things to her.

At this time, Fan Yujun pulled Shen Nanyan's sleeve and pointed to the second floor with a blushing face. Shen Nanyan took a look and hurriedly turned back to hold back Princess Chunxi who was about to whip her.

"Okay, okay, we have a place, boss, you can go and get busy."

"Where is the place?"

"Come with me."

There is a round platform in the middle of Xingbao Hall, surrounded by spectators who are sitting or standing. There is a circle of rooms on the second floor. At the innermost side of the room is a railing with a layer of gauze hanging on the railing. Therefore, when sitting in the room on the second floor, you can clearly see the charity items on display on the first floor.

Shen Nanyan knocked on the door and it was Su Xinyuan's servant Zhonglu who opened the door. His face lit up when he saw Shen Nanyan.

"Miss, Master, Miss is here."

Su Xinyuan quickly stood up.

"Yan'er, you...I greet Princess Chunxi."

"You're welcome."

Princess Chunxi didn't know who this person was, but since Shen Nanyan brought her to meet him, he must be Shen Nanyan's friend, so Princess Chunxi didn't put on airs.

"This is my eldest cousin Su Xinyuan."

"Oh, then he's one of us, Mr. Su. Would it be convenient for us to sit together?"

When the young masters who were originally with Su Xinyuan heard Princess Chunxi say this, they hurriedly bent over and retreated.

"Princess, please."

Princess Chunxi walked forward, and Su Xinyuan smiled and nodded at Fan Yujun behind her.

"You drank quite a lot yesterday. Are you feeling unwell today?"

"It's okay. I'm really sorry for making Mr. Su laugh yesterday."

"We are all friends, it's okay, please sit down."

Although she had only spoken a few words to Su Xinyuan, Fan Yujun's heart was about to jump out of her chest.

No man had ever spoken to her so gently, so when Su Xinyuan spoke to her, her mind began to feel dazed. After sitting down, the burning sensation on her face did not disappear. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but her eyes always wanted to look in Su Xinyuan's direction.
