Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Although Shen Nanyan did not agree explicitly, her attitude said it all. Lu Jiusi felt relieved. The secret had been in his heart for too long, so he was cautious when facing Shen Nanyan. Now that the two of them had talked it out, they no longer had to hide it in the future, and all the good things came quietly.

The boat didn't dock until the tear marks on Shen Nanyan's face disappeared. After getting on the carriage, Lu Jiusi never let go of Shen Nanyan's hand for a moment, and kept holding her tightly to his side, as if Shen Nanyan would fly away if he let go.

In fact, this was not in Shen Nanyan's plan at all, but things happened too suddenly, and it seemed that she didn't even have a chance to think about it. The two of them tacitly agreed to be together. However, Shen Nanyan still had no plans to get married, but she didn't know how to tell Lu Jiusi this.

When they returned to the Shen family, as soon as they entered the door, housekeeper Zhao was about to remind Shen Nanyan to be careful of Shen Zongyuan's anger, but he looked up and saw Lu Jiusi. The stone in his heart fell to the ground instantly. It was he who sent someone to deliver the letter to Danzhou overnight. Otherwise, Lu Jiusi might still be kept in the dark about the affairs of the Shen and Wang families. If he had not sent someone to deliver the letter, and Shen Nanyan and Wang Wenyan really got engaged, his life would be over.

"Your Majesty!"

"Ah."

Lu Jiusi didn't say anything, but his face was pleasant, and Butler Zhao understood.

"Then Lord Wang and his wife are in the main hall. It would be best if Miss does not show up for the time being."

After hearing what Butler Zhao said, Lu Jiusi paused and turned to look at Shen Nanyue.

"Let someone take you back to the courtyard first. I'll come find you later."

"Just go about your business. There's no need to look for me. Caifu, go away."

Shen Nanyue didn't give him another chance to speak and ran away with Caifu. Lu Jiusi didn't stop her, but just stood there watching her back disappear, and then went to the front hall under the guidance of the housekeeper.

The atmosphere in the front hall was extremely awkward at this time. Wang Wenyan was kicked into the river. Although it was already March or April, the river water was still cold. In addition, Wang Wenyan was already thin and weak, and he almost lost his life when he was rescued by the servant. Wang Wenyan was Mrs. Wang's youngest son and the apple of her eye. So after the couple settled Wang Wenyan, they immediately came to ask for an explanation.

The Wang couple's story was very convincing, and Shen Zongyuan didn't know how to defend Shen Nanyan. Mrs. Lu was even adding fuel to the fire. Aunt Su was listening anxiously behind the screen, but the key was that she couldn't find where Shen Nanyan had gone, so she had no way of knowing the truth.

"It's not that we're so anxious to marry your daughter. It's because Lord Shen said he didn't want his daughter to enter the palace. We are also parents, and we understand that Lord Shen loves his daughter so much, so we agreed to let the two children be together. But you are lying. If your daughter already has a man, why would you deceive my Wen Yan? Do you think my Wang family is easy to bully?"

"Sister-in-law, Yan'er wouldn't be like this. There must be some misunderstanding. Why don't we wait..."

"My master holds a low position and cannot bear the brunt of Lord Shen's call for his sister-in-law. We wanted to help you, but now that this has happened, my Wen Yan can't even get out of bed. If anything happens to him, our entire family will die in front of your Shen family's door."

Mrs. Lu took advantage of the opportunity and quickly spoke.

"Oh, Madam Wang, we are both mothers, and I understand your feelings best. But you said that this was ultimately done by the Fifth Miss, and it has nothing to do with the other people in our house. We have always wanted to make this marriage happen, but it's a pity that we were all deceived by the Fifth Miss's innocent appearance. Who knows how many wild men she has hooked up with outside? Isn't my master also..."

"you shut up!"

Shen Zongyuan was about to speak, but the old lady spoke first.

No matter what the truth is, as the mistress of the Shen family, Mrs. Lu should not speak like this about her own child in front of outsiders. However, Mrs. Lu still doesn't take it seriously. If she doesn't take this opportunity to put down Shen Nanyue, does she really want her to persuade Mrs. Wang?

"Old lady, please stop protecting that girl. It's because you protected her and concealed things for her every day that she did such an outrageous thing. It's okay that she's fickle, but you should never let that wild man lay a hand on Mr. Wang. Pushing someone into the water is a death sentence. I really didn't realize that the girl would dare to kill someone now. She wouldn't kill us, would she? This...ah..."

Several people were listening to Lu's chattering, but unexpectedly, Lu suddenly flew out and hit the corner cabinet against the wall. The corner cabinet broke into pieces with Lu's screams. In the shock of everyone, Lu Jiusi walked in.

"Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, pay my respects to you!"

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

Except for Mrs. Lu, everyone else in the room knelt down. The Wang couple was even more confused. They never expected that the Regent would come to the Shen family at this time.

Lu Jiusi walked forward without any pause and sat in the upper seat.

"No gifts."

After everyone stood up, they didn't dare to move. They stood there timidly, waiting for Lu Jiusi to speak. Lu Jiusi glanced at Lu on the ground with a look of contempt.

"Lu, rather than worrying about being killed day and night, I would rather fulfill your wish and send Lu on his way."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Qingyu quickly walked to Lu's side, grabbed her collar and pulled her to the center of the hall, then put a cold knife on her neck. Lu's eyes almost popped out.

"Your Highness, please be merciful. I don't know what I have done wrong, but please spare her life."

Although Shen Zongyuan had many complaints against Lu, he couldn't just watch her being beheaded. Moreover, the Wang couple were watching, so he couldn't just do nothing.

"Your Majesty, could you please have someone put the knife away first? I don't know what I have done to offend you. Please explain it to me, Your Majesty!"

"It's better to die directly than to be killed in panic."

"No, no, no, Your Highness, I don't want to die. It was Shen Nanyan who killed people. The fourth son of the Wang family almost died at her hands. Your Highness should have killed Shen Nanyan. She is shameless and fickle. She hooked up with men outside and wanted to kill people. Your Highness, you are wise and powerful, but you can't be deceived by her harmless face. Young Master Wang trusted her too much and was deceived by her. That's why he almost lost his life today. Madam Wang, you can ask Madam Wang. We can all testify."

"Yes, Your Highness, my son and she were about to be engaged, but she was still having an affair with another man. Today, she even tried to kill my son. Although this woman is young, she is so vicious. It's a pity that my son still has such a deep affection for her."

Seeing his daughter being framed like this, Shen Zongyuan could no longer sit still. He believed that Shen Nanyue would never do such a thing, but now he had to wait for her to come back.

"Madam Wang, Yan'er hasn't returned yet. You can't just believe one side of the story. Your Highness, I beg you to wait for Yan'er to return and investigate before making a decision."

Lu Jiusi ignored him and looked at Mrs. Wang instead.

"Thinking about it?"
