Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Shen Nanyan did not stop Caifu, but picked up the teacup and sipped it carefully. Manager Liang knew at a glance that Caifu's attitude was what Shen Nanyan meant, so he dared not hide anything anymore.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but because this is the master's family affair, it's not my place to ask about or interfere."

"explain."

"Yes, Master Su and the two young masters haven't been to the shop for some time. The eldest young master came once last month when he was sorting out the account books, and he didn't stay long before leaving in a hurry. I don't want to ask about it, but I heard from the shopkeepers in other shops that it seems that the second young master Su took a lot of money from other shops and didn't explain it. The recent rumors are not good, but I'm not sure what it is specifically about."

"Second brother?"

Shen Nanyan remembered that almost all the shops in Shangjing City were handed over to Su Xinyuan, and Su Xinrong was collecting grain everywhere. Why would he go to the shop to get silver? Could it be that the silver for collecting grain was not enough? This was unlikely because he was given enough silver every month.

"Remember, no matter how big the matter is, nothing will happen to this shop in the capital. Keep your mouth shut and know what to say and what not to say. You must have a sense of propriety."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely control the people below. Miss, just rest assured."

"Okay, let's get to work!"

"Yes, Miss, please stay for dinner. It's already noon."

"No, I'll leave now."

Shopkeeper Liang led the way in front, and Shen Nanyue was about to leave with Caifu. She had been busy recently and had not been able to go out. She did not expect that something would happen. The key point was that no one from the Su family came to tell her.

To be honest, Shen Nanyan was a little angry at the moment. The account book was in that state. Although she didn't know the inside story, it was certain that something had happened. The Su family actually took it on themselves and didn't say a word to her. This made Shen Nanyan feel like an outsider, as if she had been expelled. This feeling made her feel very bad, and a nameless anger burned in her heart.

Now she just wanted to go to the Su family to ask what was going on and what the problem was.

"Fifth sister!"

Shen Lingxi was walking towards her, and a cry of "Fifth Sister" interrupted Shen Nanyan's thoughts. She looked up and saw Shen Lingxi in a cute rose-red dress. Among the plain-colored crowd, she was particularly conspicuous. But the most eye-catching thing was the pure white long-haired cat in her arms. Its snow-white long fur looked like a fragrant dress, enchanting and charming.

Standing next to Shen Lingxi was the third grandson Lu Yichen, but Shen Nanyan was in no mood at the moment, so she ignored Shen Lingxi and did not salute Lu Yichen. She just glanced at them and continued to walk out.

"Are you so uneducated in front of the royal family? My mother's years of careful instruction are truly a waste."

Shen Nanyan paused and turned her head to look at Shen Lingxi.

"If you say it's a waste, the elder sister is no less than me. Isn't she secretly meeting a man?"

"You...don't be rude, this is His Royal Highness the Third Prince!"

"Three princes..."

"I forgot. Fifth sister is just a lowly concubine's daughter. How could she know such news? Sister, I kindly remind you that the crown prince will soon ascend the throne, and Your Highness will also be the noble Third Prince of Nanling Kingdom. If you continue to be so disrespectful, be careful that Your Highness will punish you."

Lu Yichen standing aside had a proud look on his face, and his eyes were filled with a sense of superiority.

But Shen Nanyan was not surprised. Lu Jiusi had said that he would not sit on that seat, so it was inevitable that the prince would ascend the throne. It was just that she didn't know what was so arrogant about Shen Lingxi, as if the third prince was about to marry her.

"Punishment?"

"Ms. Shen, this is not right. Yan'er is your sister after all. How can I bear to punish her?"

As soon as Lu Yichen opened his mouth, Shen Nanyan and Shen Lingxi were stunned.

He called Shen Nanyan Yan'er and Shen Lingxi Miss Shen. Is this a ghost? When he was with Shen Lingxi, he always called her Xi'er, but now he calls her Miss Shen.

"Your Highness, you..."

Shen Lingxi's face was full of grievance, and her eyes turned red in an instant. She was about to act coquettishly with Lu Yichen, but Lu Yichen didn't give him a chance at all. He looked directly at Shen Nanyan, his eyes almost tearing.

"I am not as scary as your sister said. How can you punish me at will? Yan'er, don't be scared."

To be honest, Shen Nanyan really wanted to vomit. How could he speak so greasyly? It made people feel nauseous.

"As you please, goodbye."

Shen Nanyan couldn't stay there for even a second.

"Yan'er, if it's convenient, why don't we have lunch together? I've booked a table here. You must try the food in this restaurant. It's very good."

"Thank you, Your Highness. I'm not interested."

"No...but if you weren't interested, why would you be here? You must have arrived too late and there are no private rooms. This restaurant is definitely not for ordinary people. I happen to be here today, so how about taking you to try something new?"

The shopkeeper on the side widened his eyes, unable to believe what nonsense Lu Yichen was talking about.

"I'm afraid of cats. Goodbye."

Shen Nanyan pointed at the cat in Shen Lingxi's arms and immediately turned and left. After all, she had more important things to do.

"What are you doing holding this broken cat, Yan... Yan'er, if the cat isn't allowed in, it's just the two of us..."

Before Lu Yichen finished speaking, Shen Nanyan had already stepped out of the door without even looking back. Lu Yichen sighed deeply and turned to look at Shen Lingxi with disgust in his eyes.

"Your Highness, do you like my fifth sister?"

Shen Lingxi is not stupid, so she naturally feels aggrieved. Lu Yichen had clearly asked her out today and given her such an expensive cat. She was originally happy, but she didn't expect to meet Shen Nanyan. Not only did he not show off his gift to her, but he also made Lu Yichen have other thoughts.

"What do you mean by like? She's your sister. I invited her to dine with me because I'm giving you face."

Shen Nanyan is a concubine's daughter. Lu Yichen understands the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. He wants to possess Shen Nanyan, but looks down on her status as a concubine's daughter. In comparison, Shen Lingxi's status as a legitimate daughter is much more valuable.

"But Your Highness just now..."

"You said your half-sister always bullies you, right? I just want to be nicer to her so you don't get bullied. Okay, go upstairs. Aren't you happy to receive this gift today?"

"Your Highness cares about me so much and gives me such a special gift. I am naturally very happy."

"Then I'll go back later today."

This has been made very clear, but it is not the first time for Shen Lingxi, so she is still very happy. If she can take this opportunity to have a child with Lu Yichen, then she can successfully become the third imperial concubine and sit on the throne of the queen in the future. That is the highest honor that all women dream of.

Shen Lingxi's heart was filled with joy, and the smile on her face became even more charming. Her slender waist stood straight up, and the two small hills that made her look even more eye-catching. It seemed as if they were about to pop out of her dress in the next second.
