Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Shen Nanyan broke free from Lu Jiusi's arms, raised her small hand to let the breeze brush against her hot face, raised her feet to sit on the table, poured herself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing Shen Nanyan's shy look, Lu Jiusi was filled with joy!

"Didn't you just enter the city? Why are you here? Don't you want to go to the palace to see the emperor?"

"It doesn't matter whether I see you or not, I miss you."

"Can you please be serious? Where is my brother?"

"He went to the palace."

"You let my brother enter the palace alone?"

"Isn't it true that all the credit for Danzhou's success this time belongs to your brother?"

Shen Nanyan sneered, but she felt happy in her heart. All the credit was given to Shen Yunzhi, so she was naturally happy. What's more, this opportunity was snatched from Yue Hanzhou, which made her even more happy.

"Do not you mind?"

"I did mind it at first, but since you compensate me, it's considered balanced."

"Why didn't I notice you were so smooth-talking before?"

"Only to you."

Shen Nanyan glanced at him and stood up.

"gone."

"Are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you not going to stay with me anymore?"

"The princess and Yujun are still next door, and I have to go back and wait for my brother, so I don't have time to accompany you. You...you can ask Yu Qingcang to accompany you."

"I rushed back so hard, you really don't miss me at all."

"It's good to know."

After saying this, Shen Nanyan was about to go out, but was stopped by Lu Jiusi.

"Wait, I have something to discuss with you."

"what's up?"

"I will send someone to propose marriage tomorrow, so you should get ready."

"What? Propose...propose marriage!"

Shen Nanyan was shocked and her eyes widened.

"Before I went to Danzhou, I had already made an agreement with the elders of the Shen family. I will come to propose marriage when I return."

"But...but...I...no, how could I agree to marry you?"

"You don't want to marry me, are you still thinking about Wang Wenyan?"

As he spoke, Lu Jiusi's face became melancholy, and his pure eyes were full of confusion and innocence.

"What nonsense! It's just...it's just...it's just that my family is preparing for my brother and the princess's wedding. Wouldn't it be causing more trouble now?"

“Isn’t this the icing on the cake?”

"No, my brother hasn't gotten married yet, so I'm not in a hurry."

"You just came of age, so you're definitely not in a hurry, but I am."

"No, it's not possible. My brother hasn't gotten married yet, so don't mention this matter."

"If we were to go with your brother..."

"Lu Jiusi, I said no!"

Shen Nanyan's stubbornness made Lu Jiusi smile and lower his head. Although he was anxious in his heart, he did not insist any longer.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll come and propose marriage after your brother gets married."

The two of them sat for a while, and only when Shen Nanyan felt better did Lu Jiusi let her go.

The affairs in Danzhou were handled properly and no riots occurred, so after Shen Yunzhi entered the palace, the emperor was very pleased and immediately rewarded him with a lot of things, but he did not mention any other rewards.

When Shen Yunzhi returned home, everyone in the house came out to greet him, even the old lady went out to greet him with a smile on her face. Since Mrs. Lu was not there, it seemed as if everyone in the house had forgotten about her and was in a happy mood.

Upon learning that the emperor had not rewarded Shen Yunzhi, Shen Zongyuan felt a sinking feeling in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. He simply comforted Shen Yunzhi to do his duty well and that the emperor would make the decision.

On the second day, Princess Chunxi came in person with a team of people and several carts of things. Nothing else was said, but the preparations for the wedding were accelerated. Shen Nanyue looked at these people, thinking about something, but the old lady was very happy.

The Prince Xing's Mansion sent both people and gifts, which shows that Prince Xing really likes Shen Yunzhi. If they become relatives, the future of Shen Yunzhi and the Shen family will surely prosper.

After seeing off Princess Chunxi, Shen Nanyan went into the room alone and said that she wanted to take a nap. Caifu and the maids all left. After they calmed down, Shen Nanyan called Wu You.

The Yamen has taken over the case of Lan's murder. Go to your wife's family and tell Shen Rongying the news. Her mother and sister are gone, so she should shed a few tears to mourn them.

[But what can she do if she knows? ]

[Of course, the dead cannot be resurrected, but she should do something.]

[Okay, regarding General Yue's matter, I noticed that Lu Jiusi seems to be making some moves as well. Do you want to discuss it?]

[He's already taken action... Then just ignore him for now and see what he wants to do.]

[Well, Lu Jiusi's medicine is ready, but there's a poison root in his heart. It will take two to three years to completely eliminate it with the medicine. During this time, he can't use martial arts, and... uh... he can't have sex. If he wants to recover quickly, he'll need surgery.]

[Heart? Open... am I open?]

[Of course, I can help you.]

Can I do it?

【Be careful, it should be fine. 】

"I can't. I... I... If I don't handle it right, it will cost him his life."

【Then use medicine, as long as his body can tolerate it.】

Let me think about it.

That night, after Shen Rongying finished serving General Yue, she couldn't fall asleep for a long time, so she put on an outer coat and stood in the yard in a daze. Under the cold moonlight, she looked a little sad and beautiful.

In fact, the three sisters of the Shen family are all good-looking, but they are much inferior to Shen Nanyue. If she had not been so ambitious and followed Shen Zongyuan's arrangements and married into an ordinary family smoothly, perhaps her life would have been different. But now she has entered this den of wolves. Although she has the identity of a young lady, she does dirty things that are even worse than those of a servant. It is really sad.

At midnight, the air was getting colder. Shen Rongying was about to turn around and go into the house when she heard someone talking outside the courtyard door. She didn't pay much attention to it until she heard her own name. Then she stopped and listened carefully. Just hearing this made her hair almost stand up.

During the conversation between the two maids, they described the cause of death of Lan and the child clearly, as if they had seen it with their own eyes. Shen Rongying stepped forward quickly and opened the gate of the courtyard directly, which scared the two maids.

"Young... Young Madam..."

"What did you just say? My mother...what happened to her?"

"Why haven't you rested yet? It's cold at night. I'll take you inside."

"What did you just say? Tell me!"

Shen Rongying's expression was dull, only her chest was heaving violently.

"It's not that we don't want to talk about it, it's that the old lady has instructed us not to talk about it in the mansion. The young lady should just take pity on us and stop asking."

"You guys won't tell me if... I want to leave the house."

"Don't, don't, don't tell us... We don't know much either. It's all just rumors out there. They say the young lady's mother was... raped and then beaten to death. And the child, I heard he was thrown to death, his brains spilled out all over the floor. It was only discovered by a benefactor who reported him to the authorities. We don't know how long he's been dead. It's really pitiful. Young lady, you must take care of yourself!"

"Dead...dead, they're all dead, yes yes yes...are they all dead? Is my mother dead? Ah?"

"Young Madam!"

Amidst the mother-in-law's exclamations, Shen Rongying slowly fell down, unconscious!
