Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

On New Year's Eve, the Shen family reunited as usual, except that the Lan mother and daughter were missing. Everyone else came, and even Aunt Su broke the tradition of previous years and sat directly at the dinner table.

Shen Zongyuan tried hard to adjust his mentality and make himself look happier, but sitting with Shen Yunyi made him uncomfortable. The old lady also disliked Lu, so the New Year's Eve reunion dinner ended very quickly.

After everyone dispersed, Shen Zongyuan followed Aunt Su to Qingyun Pavilion. Aunt Su gritted her teeth and hesitated for a long time before she told Shen Zongyuan that she wanted to go and visit the Su family. Unexpectedly, Shen Zongyuan not only did not object, but actually wanted to go with them. So the four of them took a carriage to the Su family that night. The entire Su family was waiting at the door. They were very happy to see the carriage coming, but when Shen Zongyuan got off, everyone looked at each other in confusion.

It was only after Aunt Su gently explained that the situation became less awkward. The Su Mansion was filled with joy, and the sounds of laughter and scolding could be heard everywhere. Shen Zongyuan's eyes were full of envy and yearning.

It was rare for so many people to be together, so they all drank some wine. Su Xinrong hugged Shen Nanyan and cried loudly. Everyone thought it was because of guilt, but for Su Xinrong, it was more than just guilt, more of gratitude and relief. In the middle of the dinner, Zhou Qijing also came with a lot of bags, saying that he came to ask for wine, but actually he wanted to see Cao Luqiao. After being exposed by everyone, both of their faces turned red.

During the fun, Su Yinghe also agreed to meet with Zhou's family so that the two could get married after the new year.

Double happiness, icing on the cake, as Shen Nanyue toasted each other, her eyes blurred with drunkenness. At this moment, it seemed as if the meaning of her new life had been worthwhile. As long as Yue Hanzhou died and the Yue family fell into decline, she would no longer have any worries.

On the way back, Shen Nanyan held Su Xinyuan's hand and refused to leave. Shen Yunzhi carried her directly onto the carriage. It was already midnight when they arrived at the Shen family. Shen Yunzhi was reluctant to wake Shen Nanyan up, so he carried her directly back to the courtyard and carefully placed her on the bed, for fear of waking her up.

As soon as Shen Yunzhi left, Caifu brought hot water to wash Shen Nanyue. Before she touched the water, Lu Jiusi appeared in the room inexplicably, scaring Caifu so much that she almost screamed.

"Your Majesty, why are you here so late? This is the young lady's boudoir, Your Majesty..."

"go out."

Although Lu Jiusi's voice was not so cold, it also carried a majesty that could not be ignored. Caifu held the handkerchief and did not want to go out. Lu Jiusi gave her a look and Caifu did not dare to stay any longer. She walked out quickly and closed the door.

At this moment, Shen Nanyan's cheeks were rosy, her lips were slightly upturned, and her thick eyelashes were spread out like a fan. She was as quiet as a kitten. The hardness in Lu Jiusi's body instantly faded away, and he began to help Shen Nanyan wipe and wash herself with his own hands. He was smiling and cautious throughout the whole process. He had waited for a whole night, and wanted to stay up all night with Shen Nanyan just like last year. Although the woman in front of him was drunk, Lu Jiusi was happy in his heart.

Caifu dismissed all the servants in the yard, and she and Nanny Yuan stayed in the inner courtyard, not allowing anyone to approach. She was very uneasy, which made Nanny Yuan nervous as well.

"But you must not fall asleep. You must keep an eye on the door."

"Mammy, what do you think the prince is doing in there? Miss is drunk. If he does something to her, she'll be finished. The prince is powerful and influential. Even the master might not be able to seek justice for her. What should we do?"

"Is my prince such a bad person in your eyes?"

Qingyu, who was hiding on the eaves, couldn't bear to watch any more, so he came down immediately and scared the two of them again.

"You...you...why are you here? Can you come to our hospital whenever you want?"

Caifu picked up the broom and was about to hit Qingyu, but Qingyu grabbed her.

"I didn't enter the room, and my prince couldn't possibly do anything to your young lady. Your young lady hasn't even reached marriage age yet. My prince isn't the kind of person who has no conscience."

Nanny Yuan reached out and grabbed Caifu. If these two people really fought, Caifu would not be their opponent at all, and it would also attract other people.

"Keep your voices down."

"Madam Yuan, look at what he said."

"He's not wrong. If the prince really wanted a woman, he wouldn't do this."

"Madam, you are sensible. Besides, after tonight, your young lady will be coming of age soon. If she really wants to marry our prince then, it's not impossible."

As soon as Qingyu finished speaking, Caifu kicked him.

"Bah, shut up, my young lady doesn't want to marry your prince. Don't you see how old your prince is? He's even older than our second young master. He's not worthy of my young lady at all."

"But what if your young lady admires our prince?"

"Get lost! If you say another word, I'll tear your mouth apart."

The three of them suppressed their noise and made a noise, and the room was quiet and warm. Time passed by bit by bit, and when the sky was slightly brighter, Lu Jiusi leaned over, left a kiss on Shen Nanyue's forehead, and placed a white jade agate hairpin in her dressing box, and left in the cold dew of the early morning.

That night, not only was there someone in Shen Nanyan's room, but Shen Lingxi's room was also not empty. However, Lu Yichen left much later than Lu Jiusi. Lu Shi naturally knew about this and was afraid of being discovered, so she sent someone to Shen Lingxi's yard early to remind her. Lu Yichen was very unhappy and still had a flattering face when he left.

Taking advantage of the end of the year, Chen Yunyi also had the opportunity to go out, and Mrs. Lu took him back to her parents' home. The two cried and begged in Lu's house. Lu Senquan had no choice but to give some silver and help Shen Yunyi find a job as a legal advisor in the yamen, thinking that he could first make himself familiar to the public and then be transferred to higher positions when the time was right. Although Shen Yunyi was not satisfied, he had no other choice.

If he doesn't find a job soon, Shen Zongyuan will have no way to send him to the farm after the New Year.

Lan, who got the silver from the Shen family, was not having an easy time either. Less than three days after she got the silver, it was stolen. When she went to the Shen family again with no money, she was driven away by the servant. She had no choice but to go to the Yue family again, but the people of the Yue family did not let her meet Shen Rongying at all. Lan, who was desperate, had no choice but to change her name and start a sex trade in that small courtyard. Even if she didn't eat or drink, what about the child? She couldn't just watch her cry every day.

Day after day, Lan's life actually got better, but no one around her was willing to talk to her, especially the women, who hated Lan to the core.

Soon, Yue Hanzhou learned about Lan's situation. He was actually a little excited and sent someone to find Lan. He gave her a sum of money on the condition that he would take her to a place to spend a night with someone happy. Naturally, Lan was willing to accept such a large amount of money.

So at midnight that night, a carriage took her to a private house. After she washed and bathed, she was taken to a room with a strange fragrance. On the huge bed, she could already hear another person's breathing. Although she was a little nervous, when she thought of the huge amount of silver, she took a deep breath and instantly became full of confidence.
