Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

The servants hurriedly carried Shen Rongying into the room. No one from the Yue family showed up, and not even a doctor was called. There were only a few servants busying around in the room. Shen Rongying woke up not long after being unconscious, but she lay on the bed, her whole body limp and unable to move.

The next day, after feeling a little better, Shen Rongying dragged her weak body to go out. But how could these maids let her leave? They were all arranged by Old Madam Yue to look after her. If she left the house, these maids would be in trouble. It was almost noon when Old Madam Yue finally arrived.

After entering the room, her face was extremely ugly. Ever since Yue Hanzhou fell ill, she had been worried about him. Not only did she have to treat Yue Hanzhou, but she also had to ask people to suppress the news that was secretly spread. She was exhausted all day long. Fortunately, Yue Hanzhou's condition had improved a little.

Now looking at Shen Rongying, I feel even more unhappy!

"It's just a death. Why are you making such a fuss? Don't forget what you promised."

"Madam, since I entered the mansion, I have always acted according to your wishes. Now that my mother is gone, can't I go to mourn her?"

Shen Nanyan knelt at Madam Yue's feet and pleaded humbly.

"You're alone, living in such a big yard, isn't that enough for you to mourn?"

"I'm going to see my mother and ask for mercy from the lady."

"If you go see her, will she be able to survive? You are now the young lady of the Yue family. I can't let you use this status to meet a lowly prostitute. If this gets out, will my Yue family still have any face?"

"That's my mother!"

"She's a cheap whore, Shen Rongying, don't be so shameless."

"Madam, are you really not going to let me go?"

"Why, do you still want to make trouble?"

Their eyes met, and finally Shen Rongying slowly lowered her head, letting her tears slide down. Old Madam Yue stood up and kicked her in the face.

"You are just a dog kept in this mansion. Just do your job well and don't expect anything else. Mrs. Chen, wash and dress her. The Third Prince is coming tonight. Don't let her bring shame to the Yue family."

"Yes, ma'am!"

Madam Yue came and went in a hurry, which completely extinguished Shen Rongying's thoughts, but she had no way to do anything.

Mother-in-law Chen mentioned Shen Rongying and asked people to wash and dress her. Thick makeup covered her sadness and haggardness. Gradually, Shen Rongying seemed to accept the reality. From time to time, a heartless smile appeared on her face. It was impossible to tell that she had just been sad. The mother-in-laws relaxed their attitude towards her.

The Third Prince arrived as promised at night. Shen Rongying changed her usual shy attitude and tried her best to please him, which made the Third Prince very happy. While she was still in love with him, Shen Rongying nestled in the Third Prince's arms, saying all kinds of reluctant words. She was so gentle and tender that it was very seductive. The Third Prince immediately said that he would come again tomorrow night.

After the third prince left, Shen Rongying took her maid Dongmei to stroll in the garden. When passing by the courtyard where Yue Hanzhou was temporarily staying, she stopped at the door for a moment. Because the old general had to go to Shen Rongying's courtyard to rest from time to time, he ordered that she was not allowed to see Yue Hanzhou, so she just stood at the door for a moment and left.

But when I went back, Dongmei was no longer by my side.

Although Yue Hanzhou was demoted, General Yue's contributions are still there. Recently, there have been news reports about General Yue. Although the emperor is not happy, he has no intention of taking action against the Yue family for the time being. What's more, General Yue has been discussing with the emperor recently to let Yue Hanzhou withdraw from the court and work in the emperor's underground gambling house. The emperor has already approved this matter.

Therefore, the Yue family has not suffered any major fluctuations so far.

Dongmei came back very late at night. After returning to the courtyard, she began to arrange a bath for Shen Rongying, which lasted until most of the night. After dawn, Shen Rongying asked Dongmei to go out of the house to buy powder for her. Dongmei obeyed the order and left, and never came back.

For the next five days, Shen Rongying did not stop. Her body seemed to have suddenly gained some kind of strength. She was smiling all day long, and asked the Third Prince to come every day. General Yue also came twice when he had the chance. No one thought there was anything wrong. They just felt that Shen Rongying seemed more attractive than before.

Because of this incident, the Yue family was in peace. Even Yue Hanzhou could go out for a walk, and Old Madam Yue was filled with joy.

The Shen family's wedding, originally scheduled for October, was moved forward by three months at the urging of Prince Xing's Mansion. Shen Nanyue looked at the red silk all over the mansion and cursed Lu Jiusi hundreds of times in her heart.

Even if Princess Chunxi wanted to get married again, she couldn't be so hasty. If Lu Jiusi hadn't intervened, how could Shen Yunzhi's marriage have happened so quickly? The more Shen Nanyue thought about it, the angrier she became. So when Lu Jiusi broke into the Shen family at night again, she punched him directly.

"What's going on? Why did you attack me?"

"think it yourself."

"I haven't done anything to make you angry lately."

"Tell me, did you interfere with my brother's marriage?"

Lu Jiusi smiled and lowered his head, then smoothly took Shen Nanyue's hand.

"Then go ahead and hit me. I did it."

"If you dare to admit it, I will beat you to death today."

After saying that, he punched down again with his powerless fist. Lu Jiusi did not dodge, but looked at Shen Nanyan in anger with a doting look.

Suddenly, Lu Jiusi's face changed, and he turned around and covered his mouth!

Shen Nanyan immediately stopped and asked with a slightly worried voice.

"I didn't use much strength, don't try to scare me."

Lu Jiusi's hand gently brushed across his lips, then he lowered his palm and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"You're kidding, am I that weak?"

But the moment he opened his mouth, Shen Nanyue sensed something was wrong. There seemed to be another smell in the air, but it was very subtle. For a moment she was not sure what it was, so she just stared at Lu Jiusi blankly.

"I was just joking with you, are you angry already?"

Shen Nanyan didn't say anything, but walked closer to Lu Jiusi, wanting to smell what it was. However, Lu Jiusi, who wanted to stick to Shen Nanyan every day, took a step back, which made Shen Nanyan even more confused.

"Hand out."

"what happened?"

"Take your pulse. Wu You said your antidote has been prepared. Let me see if your body can detoxify now."

"No rush, I'll see you tomorrow. I want to spend some time with you today. Oh, by the way, I haven't taken you out for a walk yet. Is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

"hand."

The more Lu Jiusi didn't stretch out his hand, the more Shen Nanyue felt something was wrong, but how could he stretch out his palm? However, he didn't want to make Shen Nanyue angry, so he stretched out his other hand.

"This hand."

"Isn't it the same?"

Seeing that Lu Jiusi refused, Shen Nanyan didn't say anything to him. She walked forward and forcibly pulled his hand that was behind his back. However, Lu Jiusi still clenched his palm tightly. Shen Nanyan was about to pry his fingers open, but when she looked down, she saw a hint of bright red between his pale fingers.

In an instant, the air froze!
