Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Soon, Lord Wang brought his wife and Wang Wenyan to visit the old lady. In fact, it was called a visit to the old lady, but in fact it was to let Wang Wenyan and Shen Nanyue meet each other. Now the two families have already reached an agreement and are just waiting for the two to meet before they start preparing for the engagement.

As soon as the Wang family entered the old lady's courtyard, Nanny Yin asked someone to invite Shen Nanyan over. Before she even arrived, she was already praised like a flower by the old lady. Although Mrs. Wang didn't say anything, the smile on her face was just superficial. She thought in her heart that she was just a concubine's daughter, how good could she be? But the moment Shen Nanyan walked in, everyone was stunned.

She was wearing a snow-blue dress embroidered with butterflies, and her black and shiny hair was simply tied up. A simple and elegant white jade hairpin in her hair made her look a little softer. What surprised them even more was that Shen Nanyan's petite face was breathtakingly beautiful, her eyebrows were green without any makeup, and her lips were red without any lipstick. When she lowered her head and raised her eyebrows, she exuded a purity that was not tainted by the world, as fresh and unworldly as a fairy in the sky!

"Could this girl be the Fifth Miss?"

Mrs. Wang stood up suddenly, staring at Shen Nanyue with a smile on her face.

"Yes, my name is Yan'er. Yan'er, this is Lord and Madam Wang."

After listening to the old lady's introduction, Shen Nanyan raised her head slightly and bowed gently to Mrs. Wang. Her movements were smooth and precise, without any affectation.

"Greetings, Master Wang, ma'am!"

"Oh, why call me Madam? Why not call me Mother? Soon we'll be a family."

"That's unacceptable."

The old lady was a little unhappy at the moment. Her granddaughter hadn't even gotten married yet, and she was asking her to call her "mother". This was against the rules. Lord Wang spoke up quickly when he saw this.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, old lady. My wife is outspoken and perhaps she likes the fifth young lady too much, so she broke the rules."

"Ah... yes, yes, I like it, it's like it came out of a painting, who wouldn't like it? I was so eager to get home that I lost my composure. Girl, please don't blame me. Here, this bracelet is just a meeting gift. I was in a hurry and didn't prepare it carefully. This is also my dowry, you must accept it!"

Mrs. Wang's expression changed instantly, and she became excited. She hurried to please Shen Nanyan and put the bracelet on Shen Nanyan's wrist. Shen Nanyan was naturally unwilling and dodged quickly.

"What's wrong, but disgust?"

"Yan'er doesn't dare. It's just that such a valuable thing, Yan'er really doesn't dare to accept it."

Shen Nanyan looked at the old lady timidly. The old lady turned her head to look at Wang Wenyan and said to Mrs. Wang.

"You are too impatient. The two children haven't even met each other. What if your son doesn't like my granddaughter? Then your bracelet will be given away for nothing. That is your dowry!"

The old lady naturally said it with a smile, but Mrs. Wang listened to it and withdrew her hand the next second.

"Oh, look at my brain. I was too impatient. Who made this girl so likable? Wen Yan, come and meet Yan'er."

Wang Wenyan then stood up with a red face. Shen Nanyan didn't really do anything with him, so she didn't feel embarrassed and looked up naturally.

Wang Wenyan was wearing a crescent-shaped brocade robe, had a slim figure, a handsome face, and exuded the elegance of a scholar. But compared to his brother, this was nothing. What was even more strange was that Shen Nanyan was clearly comparing Wang Wenyan with his brother Shen Yunzhi, but soon the person who came to her mind was Lu Jiusi. You know, once Lu Jiusi appeared, Wang Wenyan was even more like an ant on the ground.

But the moment Shen Nanyue walked in, Wang Wenyan had already decided to marry her. He had seen many women in the capital, but today was the day when his eyes were truly opened. Such an extraordinary woman was probably rare in the world.

"Fifth Miss, I, Wang Wenyan, greet you!"

Seeing Wang Wenyan clasping his fists and saluting, Shen Nanyue did not say anything, but just returned a slight salute. After that, neither of them spoke again, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

"My silly boy is so happy that he can't even talk to a girl."

Mrs. Wang pulled her son, and the moment their eyes met, they both knew the answer in their hearts. How could Wang Wenyan not be moved by such a stunning girl?

"Excuse me, Old Madam, Master Shen, for making fun of you. My youngest son usually spends his days either reading or painting, and rarely sees young ladies. Today, he was so excited to see our Fifth Young Lady that he has been very excited for a long time."

Lord Wang also spoke up to help his son, and the room became lively again.

"No problem, no problem. It's our first meeting, and my Yan'er doesn't dare to say a word."

"The sun is shining brightly today. Why don't we let them go for a stroll in the garden while we drink tea inside? I recently got some white tea from the snowy mountains, and it tastes really good. Are you two interested in trying it?"

The old lady made the suggestion, and naturally no one had any objection.

"Right, right, right. It's really boring for young people to be with us. Let them walk around on their own. Oh, and Miss Fifth, you must accept this bracelet. Otherwise, it would seem that I'm stingy and don't care about you. Come on, put it on."

Shen Nanyan struggled hard, because the bracelet that Mrs. Wang was going to wear was on her wrist, which Lu Jiusi had given her before. She was used to wearing it and had not taken it off. So when Mrs. Wang saw the bracelet, she was embarrassed for a moment, but she quickly moved the bracelet to Shen Nanyan's other wrist, and regardless of Shen Nanyan's refusal, she put it on her wrist anyway, and then pushed the two of them out the door.

"Go, go, take a good walk around. I just saw a lot of flowers blooming in this garden."

The two were pushed out together. Shen Nanyan didn't say anything. Anyway, this was the process of a blind date. If they were not alone today, they would be alone tomorrow. The elders would definitely not let them go, so it would be better to accept it as it comes.

The two walked together in the garden. Shen Nanyan's heart was as calm as water, without any ripples, but Wang Wenyan's heart seemed to be beating like a drum. He couldn't help but observe Shen Nanyan from the side, but he didn't dare to stare at her all the time. His ears were already red.

"Lord Shen and my father have discussed...letting...letting us get engaged first. What are your thoughts?"

Wang Wenyan took a deep breath before speaking.

"Yeah, I know. It's nothing. My dad decides."

"What about you? Are you satisfied with me?"

"It's pretty good!"

Shen Nanyan said this very casually, as if she was saying that the weather was nice today, but to Wang Wenyan's ears it sounded like the sound of nature.

"As long as you're satisfied, I'll start preparing for the engagement as soon as I get back. You should know the news from the palace. Let's finalize it first, and we can discuss other matters later. Don't worry, no matter what you want or need, I will do my best to satisfy you and treat you well in the future. I swear, I will only marry you in this life."

Shen Nanyan turned back dumbly. She didn't expect Wang Wenyan to say such a thing. But it was the first time they met. However, Wang Wenyan's face was serious and it didn't seem like he was joking. This made Shen Nanyan cautious so as not to be unable to escape in the future.

In the northwest corner of the garden, a figure stood solemnly under a tree, and turned away after a moment.
