Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

That night, all the officials in the court received the order from the regent and spent the night in anxiety. Early the next morning, everyone rushed to the palace trembling with fear.

Overnight, all the palace guards were replaced and all were guarded by Lu Jiusi's men. Even the concubines in each palace were transferred to the cold palace. The whole palace was filled with a faint smell of blood.

There were so many people that the entire gate of the Qinzheng Hall was filled with officials. Lu Jiusi did not claim to be a king, but stood on a high seat in the official uniform of the Regent, looking down coldly at the ministers below. After a long time, he raised his hand and gestured, and soon guards shuttled through the crowd and escorted several ministers out of the crowd.

These people were all Lu Shiyao's confidants. Lu Jiusi did not give them a chance to speak, and immediately ordered them to be beheaded in front of all the officials. The bloody scene made some people tremble instantly. For a while, the crowd gathered and whispered.

"Hang their heads on the city wall for more than a month to serve as a warning to all the lords. Be careful with your words and actions in the future and don't forget your official duties."

"We, the ministers, will strictly abide by our duties and will not dare to overstep the mark in the slightest."

Everyone knelt down and submitted to Lu Jiusi's majesty.

"General Yue."

"The minister is here."

"Are you going into the dungeon on your own, or do you want me to invite you?"

"I dare not ask, Your Majesty, what is my crime?"

"You raped and raped seventy-three women, murdered over two hundred innocent civilians, withheld countless grain and wages, colluded with neighboring countries, and lied to the late emperor about military intelligence. Which of these are you unwilling to accept?"

"Your Majesty, I have not deceived the late Emperor. I have yet to investigate clearly."

General Yue, filled with righteous indignation, seemed to have suffered a great injustice, but when the guards dumped a box of letters in front of him, he seemed to be deflated in an instant and collapsed to the ground.

"Imprison General Yue, confiscate all his possessions, exile all the men to the frontier, and enslave all the women."

Lu Jiusi's cold words completely shattered General Yue's fantasy. He thought that with his many years of military exploits, he could always protect the Yue family. He didn't expect that Lu Jiusi was so cruel and ruthless that he didn't even leave a single person for the Yue family.

At this point, the Yue family completely disappeared from Shangjing City. The only one left in the capital was Yue Hanzhou, who was still begging every day. However, he had to fight with dogs and people for a bite of food every day, so he had no time to care about the Yue family.

Lu Jiusi, who had been killing people everywhere in the palace, did not return to the palace until dusk. Shen Nanyan applied medicine to his wounds and was about to leave. Naturally, Lu Jiusi was reluctant to let her go.

"Don't you want to stay? I'll have someone tell your mother."

"You can even show off your power in the palace, and you still need my care?"

"Pfft, are you angry?"

"How dare you? You are the most noble person in Nanling Country right now. I'm afraid you might kill me too."

"Don't you like me killing people?"

"I don't care if you kill people or not. I clearly told you to rest, but you took my words for granted. You've been busy since entering the palace yesterday, and you've only just returned home. You might as well die in the palace and save me the worry."

"Worried about me."

Lu Jiusi suddenly moved close to Shen Nanyan, and the two were almost touching each other. Shen Nanyan reached out and pushed Lu Jiusi aside.

"gone."

"No, I... now that my poison has been cured and your brother is married, can I propose now?"

"Your injury still needs some time to heal, why are you in such a hurry?"

"I thought I'd start making preparations while I'm recovering. I can marry you as soon as I recover. Besides, we have to get engaged first. We can't miss out on anything we need. I can't let you down."

"I...how would I know? Ask my dad."

"Then I'll take you back and meet Master Shen by the way."

"If you dare to move again, I will break your legs."

Shen Nanyan's vicious look made Lu Jiusi pause and sit back down.

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

Shen Nanyan didn't say anything and walked out. After she went out, she suddenly stopped and turned around.

"I want the Yue family to be extinct."

"it is good."

This is nothing to Lu Jiusi.

All the members of the Yue family died in the Yue Mansion before they could even set foot on the frontier, from Madam Yue to the maids and servants, no one was spared.

The people passing by Yue Mansion felt a chill. When Yue Hanzhou came here to beg, he looked at his former mansion and couldn't help but cover his face and cry. He sat in front of the dilapidated gate for several days and finally disappeared.

When Lu Jiusi personally arrived at the Shen family, Shen Zongyuan and the old lady came out to greet him in person. Lu Jiusi also specially asked someone to invite Aunt Su out and discussed the marriage with them in a gentle manner. Naturally, the Shen family had no objections, and even if they did, they did not dare to say anything, so things went extremely smoothly, mainly because Lu Jiusi did a very good job.

The family was having a great time. Lu Jiusi even had a meal at the Shen family. During the meal, he lowered his posture and tried to please Aunt Su, which made Shen Nanyan couldn't help but smile.

After seeing Lu Jiusi off, Shen Nanyue went towards Aunt Su's courtyard, intending to have a private chat with her. Unexpectedly, she met Lu, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, on the way. She looked like an old woman now, with gray hair and an old face. Shen Nanyue ignored her. Lu was now living in more pain than death, and Shen Nanyue wanted to torture her slowly like this.

"Shen Nanyan."

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lu called her first. Shen Nanyan stopped, turned around and looked at her with a smile.

"Do you feel like you've won?"

"What do you think?"

"You will be punished, you will."

"It seems like you're the one who got punished first, but that's not right. That's not retribution, it's my revenge."

"What do you mean?"

Shen Nanyan hadn't intended to tell Mrs. Lu about this, but seeing her confused and painful look, Shen Nanyan couldn't help herself. After all, why not stab her again?

"It was me who drugged Tang Manrou and awakened the demon in her heart. Otherwise, how could she dare to attack Shen Yunyi? And your daughter, she is not dead yet."

"No... not dead. Where is she? Where is she?"

Hearing that her daughter was not dead, Mrs. Lu suddenly became energetic and was about to pounce on Shen Nanyue. Caifu hurriedly stood in front of Shen Nanyue and pushed Mrs. Lu to the ground.

"She's been in the palace for many days, but hasn't been favored by the Emperor. I wanted to lend her a helping hand, but who would have thought that after taking that medicine, she would actually drag Yue Hanzhou into doing something shameless. As luck would have it, the Emperor discovered her. He was furious and said she was born promiscuous. He had her sent to the Western Suburbs Camp to be a military prostitute."

"You, you hurt her, you, you vile bastard, why did you want to hurt my Xi'er, why why why..."

The collapsed Mrs. Lu went completely crazy. She screamed and tore Caifu apart, wanting to beat Shen Nanyue. Shen Nanyue did not struggle, but just stood there quietly, looking at Mrs. Lu with a smile. The more calm she was, the crazier Mrs. Lu became, and soon alarmed the servants nearby.

When Shen Zongyuan and Shen Yunzhi arrived, Shen Nanyan was already crying in a nanny's arms with tears in her eyes. Shen Zongyuan suddenly became angry and slapped Lu in the face. A trace of bright red slowly flowed from Lu's ear as she fell down.
