Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Seeing that Lu Jiusi had taken her words to heart, Mrs. Wang was delighted and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Yes, although my son is only the fourth son, he is also the son of me, the mistress of the Wang family. His status is so much more noble. We originally looked down on her as a mere concubine's daughter, but when we met her that day, we were mesmerized by her vixen-like appearance, so we arranged their engagement. But who knew that she looked decent, but in fact she was a wicked person. Who knows how many wild men she had hooked up with in private? Today, my son must have caught her having an affair with someone, so he killed me, Wen Yan. It was really a waste of my love for him."

"Ai Mu... I didn't drown him today, I'm just too kind!"

"Ahh... this... uh uh uh..."

Lu Jiusi's words left Mrs. Wang speechless!

The others were also stunned by Lu Jiusi's words and didn't react for a while.

"The prince said that what happened today was actually..."

It was the old lady who spoke first, and Lu Jiusi raised a gentle smile.

"Please sit down, old lady. You don't have to stand."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Now there was no need for anyone to explain, everyone understood that Wang Wenyan was kicked into the water by Lu Jiusi, and the wild man that Shen Nanyan hooked up with was also Lu Jiusi!

Mrs. Wang's hands began to tremble. She had just called the man a wild man with great enthusiasm, but now her heart was about to jump out of her chest when she thought about it. She began to shrink back quietly, regretting it so much that she wanted to slap herself in the face.

"Drag Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Wang out and give them a slap in the face!"

"Yes."

"Your Highness, this humble wife is just a woman in the backyard. She speaks without restraint. Please ask Your Highness, please ask your old minister Xu to take her back and teach her well, so as not to disturb Your Highness's peace."

"Lord Wang is absolutely right. Mrs. Lu is just a woman from my Shen family. How could she trouble your Highness? I will make her kneel in the ancestral hall for three months to reform. I beg your Highness to show mercy."

Shen Zongyuan and Madam Wang looked at each other, both of them were unsure. Lu Jiusi had always been ruthless and left no room for maneuver. It was likely that Mrs. Lu and Madam Wang would be spared the death penalty today, but they would be sentenced to life imprisonment.

"Your Highness, please spare me. Your Highness, I was too outspoken. I came here today just to seek an explanation for my son. I didn't know it was Your Highness... It was... Your Highness, I also want to thank Your Highness for giving us some advice on Wen Yan. With your guidance, Wen Yan will surely become a great man in the future."

“Drag him out!”

"Your Highness, please have mercy on me, Your Highness, please have mercy on me, Shen Nanyan, you bitch, you seduced men, but you made us get punished for nothing, Shen Nan... pa pa pa..."

Lu's curses were drowned out by the sound of powerful slaps.

Lu Jiusi did not give Mrs. Wang any hope at all.

Soon, the screams of Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Wang rang out one after another in the yard. The servants hid in the dark and watched the show quietly. In the room, Lord Wang and Shen Zongyuan knelt on the ground, their faces full of anxiety and helplessness. It was the first time that Lord Wang faced Lu Jiusi's anger, and his forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat.

After an incense stick of time, blood kept flowing out of the mouths of both of them, and their lips were swollen. They couldn't say a single word. Lu Jiusi leisurely put down the teacup and glanced outside the door.

"Mrs. Wang."

"The subordinate is here."

"The Shen and Wang families have never discussed marriage. Shen Nanyan and Wang Wenyan have no relationship at all. Remember this."

"Remember... remember, remember."

"From now on, Wang Wenyan is not allowed to set foot in the Shen family again, otherwise I won't mind taking one more life on my hands."

"Yes, yes, the Shen and Wang families will no longer have any contact. Your Highness, please rest assured."

"Take your people out."

Lord Wang did not dare to delay any longer. He immediately bowed and retreated, disappearing out the door with Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Lu was also quickly sent back to the yard by the housekeeper. The hall suddenly became quiet, but the quiet atmosphere seemed to be even more weird, because since Lu Jiusi appeared until now, no one knew why he suddenly came to the Shen family when he had obviously gone to Danzhou, and no one knew what his conversation with Lord Wang meant. Now everyone was patiently waiting for Lu Jiusi to speak.

"Master Shen, please send someone to invite Aunt Su over."

"Your Highness, Aunt Su is only my concubine. If I ask her to meet Your Highness, I'm afraid..."

"No problem."

Lu Jiusi insisted, so Shen Zongyuan had to go to the back and invite Aunt Su out. Aunt Su's eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had been crying. Although Lu Jiusi did not stand up, his face looked much warmer.

"Please sit down, Aunt Su."

"I will just stand here. Your Majesty, please tell me what you need."

"sit down."

Shen Zongyuan signaled the maid to help Aunt Su sit down at the lower seat, and the housekeeper had already sent in tea. Lu Jiusi pondered for a while before speaking.

"Old Madam Shen, Lord Shen, Aunt Su, once the disaster relief efforts in Danzhou are over, I will come to propose marriage upon my return to the capital. Therefore, you all don't have to worry about Shen Nanyan's marriage, and the palace doesn't have to worry either. I will make all the arrangements."

"What the prince means... the prince wants to marry our Yan'er?"

The shocked old lady didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Lu Jiusi in front of her was naturally an excellent candidate, but Lu Jiusi was poisoned. If her granddaughter married him, wouldn't she become a widow at such a young age?

"Yes."

"Your Highness, it's a blessing for our Shen family and Yan'er that you have chosen her. But she...she is just a concubine's daughter. I'm afraid she has wronged your Highness."

Shen Zongyuan and the old lady and her son exchanged glances and knew each other's worries, but Shen Zongyuan couldn't think of any reason to stop them for the time being, so he could only bring up Shen Nanyue's illegitimate status. After all, it is rare for a illegitimate daughter to become a princess!

"This prince is attracted to her, it has nothing to do with the legitimate wife or the illegitimate child."

"But Yan'er is still young. I'm afraid she won't be able to serve the prince well. No... not as good as the eldest lady... The eldest lady is the legitimate daughter of our Shen family. Madam has raised her to be bright, charming, dignified and generous. She is the perfect choice to be the princess."

Aunt Su bit her tongue before saying this. This was the first time she had brought out Shen Lingxi so blatantly to serve as a shield for her daughter. She had no choice. What was the difference between marrying the prince and entering the palace?

No one expected Aunt Su to say this. This was not something Aunt Su would do. The handkerchief in Aunt Su's hand was almost soaked.

"What is Aunt Su worried about?"

"No, no, I...I..."

"Your Highness, Su is just a concubine in the backyard. She doesn't know anything. Your Highness, please don't bother with her."

"Auntie Su, feel free to tell me what you think."

Lu Jiusi ignored Shen Zongyuan's words and sat upright looking at Aunt Su. Aunt Su suddenly panicked and her legs went weak and she knelt down.

"Your Highness, my Yan'er is still young and doesn't understand the intrigues and schemes in the backyard. She...she's still a child. If we put her in the palace, it would be the same as sending her to the palace. Please forgive her, Your Highness."

Aunt Su was in tears and did not dare to hide anything anymore. She expressed all her worries. Even if she died, she wanted to fight for Shen Nanyue. However, the old lady and Shen Zongyuan beside her were really worried about her.
