Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

For a moment, Shen Nanyan also became curious. Fan Yujun was a good girl who never went out of the house all day long. How could she suddenly have a man?

"Could it be that your father arranged this, Yujun? Didn't he tell us not to go along with their wishes?"

"Yan'er, no no... this wasn't arranged by Daddy, I..."

"Look, I said there was a man, didn't I? I admitted it, so who was that man? I just saw his back and felt that he looked familiar."

Princess Chunxi was extremely excited, as if something great had happened. Fan Yujun grabbed the princess and asked her to speak more quietly.

"Don't talk about me. Yan'er is about to reach the age of marriage. What gift will the princess give her?"

"Wait wait wait...why don't you say anything? I'm telling you, if you don't explain yourself today, I won't obey you."

"This one……"

Fan Yujun looked at Shen Nanyan with some embarrassment. Shen Nanyan thought Fan Yujun was asking her for help and was about to persuade her when Princess Chunxi suddenly stood up.

"I see!"

"What are you crazy about? What do you know?"

Shen Nanyan was startled.

"Yan'er, the three of us will be a family from now on."

"what are you saying?"

Fan Yujun, who had been silent the whole time, blushed completely.

"I remember the man who was with Fan Yujun that day. He was your brother!"

"Are you out of your mind? You and I..."

"No, no, it's your cousin Su Xinyuan. Yes, that's him. I was wondering why you were so familiar with him. It turns out it's Su Xinyuan. When did you two hook up?"

"Yujun..."

Both of them looked at Fan Yujun. Fan Yujun felt like her heart was about to jump out, as if she had been caught stealing.

"Yan... Yan'er, actually, I... I wanted to tell you about this, and I should have told you a long time ago, but I... I... he and I were just friends before, and we've been seeing each other more frequently lately. Actually, I... we..."

"Why are you so nervous? You guys are together, so be it. I'm just surprised at how... I remember my eldest brother said you asked him for help. Was that your excuse to get closer to him?"

"Do you even need to ask? Of course, you said you were asking for help, but you were actually trying to get close to her on purpose. Fan Yujun, you're not stupid. No, you're still stupid. If you were smarter, you would have just asked Yan'er to help you. I'm much smarter than you."

The three of them burst into laughter.

Shen Nanyan is quite satisfied that her two best friends have now become her sisters-in-law. It seems that everything is moving in a good direction and her life so far has been worth it.

After playing all day, at dusk, the three of them were ready to return home. Shen Nanyan was about to step onto the carriage when her feet suddenly shook. Caifu hugged Shen Nanyan and fell to the ground. The dizzy and unable to stand feeling gradually subsided after a while. The people nearby had already panicked, and there were even children crying sharply.

"Miss, Miss, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"

"No problem, how are you?"

"I'm a tough-skinned servant, nothing's wrong with me, but what happened?"

"Yan'er, Yujun, how are you two?"

As soon as the ground stopped shaking, Princess Chunxi rushed over. After confirming that everyone was fine, they hurriedly separated and returned home.

When they returned to the mansion, the housekeeper was directing the servants to clean up the fallen objects everywhere. When he saw Shen Nanyan come in, the housekeeper immediately came over to report. After learning that everyone was fine, the master and servant rushed towards Aunt Lan's courtyard. However, before they reached Qingyun Pavilion, they were told that everyone had gone to the old lady's courtyard, so they hurried to Luxiangzhai.

At this moment, Luxiangzhai was already full of people, even Shen Yunyi, who had not been seen for a long time, was there. Aunt Su stood up and took Shen Nanyue's hand, looking left and right, and making sure that she was okay, she felt relieved.

"Father, you stay in the mansion and take care of everyone. I'll go guard the palace. If anything really happens, I'll send someone to send a letter back."

"Don't go, you shouldn't go either. The earthquake in Shangjing City must have happened somewhere else. Who knows how many more people will die. The weather is getting warmer now, so epidemics are inevitable. The emperor will hand this matter over to the inspectors and the prefects. You should stay in Shangjing City."

At present, the Shen family only has Shen Yunzhi as a man they can rely on, so Shen Zongyuan naturally doesn't want him to take risks.

"Yes, your father is right, Yunzhi, don't go. The court has so many people, why do we need you to go there to provide disaster relief? Besides, we don't know if there will be another earthquake."

"It's okay, grandma. I'm just going to take a look. You said there are so many people here, it's not my turn. With such a big incident, and my father and I just got promoted, if I don't show up now, I'm afraid the emperor will be disappointed, and it will also cause a lot of gossip. I'm just going to take a look, it's okay."

Everyone was unable to persuade Shen Yunzhi, so they had no choice but to let him go to the palace.

The usually bustling streets were now deserted. The emperor summoned all the ministers to the palace for discussion. Lu Jiusi sat quietly aside, wondering if Shen Nanyan was frightened.

Because the news from various places had not yet been delivered, the emperor could only arrange people to prepare disaster relief supplies, so no results were discussed. However, when everyone left, it was already midnight. Few people would be able to sleep well that night. Lu Jiusi also took advantage of the darkness to sneak into Shen Nanyue's room. Looking at her sleeping appearance, her thin face gradually warmed up.

At noon on the second day, a letter from Danzhou was delivered to the palace at full speed. In just a cup of tea, news came out that the emperor had appointed ministers to go to Danzhou to provide disaster relief. The hearts of the Shen family were hanging in their throats, and the whole family waited in the front hall for Shen Yunzhi to return home.

But Shen Yunzhi didn't come back until the evening, which really made the whole family worried.

"Yunzhi, are you..."

"Don't worry, Grandmother. There is indeed a disaster in Danzhou, but Yue Hanzhou has already requested permission to go and provide disaster relief, and will be leaving the city tonight."

"That's good, that's good. As for the earthquake... Bodhisattva, may the people of Danzhou be safe. You can rest assured too."

The whole family was very relieved, except Shen Yunzhi, whose eyes were dark.

There are countless twists and turns in the imperial court's disaster relief. Yue Hanzhou volunteered, which must be profitable, but the emperor trusts the Yue family, and Lu Jiusi is recuperating in the mansion. No one can change the emperor's mind, so they can only pray for the people of Danzhou, hoping that Yue Hanzhou can really deliver the money and food to the people.

When Lu Jiusi heard the news, his deep eyes dimmed a little, and he immediately asked someone to summon Xiao Yichen to meet him.

Three days later, the troops led by Yue Hanzhou were all poisoned while passing through a forest. No one died, but they were dizzy, vomiting and having diarrhea, and were so weak that they could hardly move. Yue Hanzhou was forced to order his troops to return and return to the city in disgrace. The army had left the city in good order, but when they returned, they looked like a stray dog, in a state of disarray!
