It is said that after leaving the Shen family, the first place Lu wanted to go was the western suburbs camp. She wanted to find her daughter, but that kind of place was not one that a woman could enter and exit freely. So she asked around, and finally one morning, she hooked up with a person who came out to buy vegetables and fruits, and followed that person into the camp smoothly.

But this place is too big, and Mrs. Lu didn't dare to look for her daughter too obviously, so she helped others with their work while trying to find out her daughter's whereabouts. Later, when a group of people were chatting after dinner, she heard some clues. When she found Shen Lingxi, she could no longer recognize her daughter.

Shen Lingxi was covered in wounds, thin, old, and with a sallow complexion. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly, their crying soon attracted the guards, and Lu Jiusi knew about it, but Lu Jiusi did not give any orders immediately, but just turned his eyes to Shen Nanyan.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Don't you have any ideas?"

"If it's delivered to your door, don't refuse it. Wouldn't it be wonderful for the mother and daughter to be together? Besides, can't a man afford to support a woman?"

"Princess, you are wise!"

Lu Jiusi waved his hand and the guards took his orders and left.

"Stop being so smooth-talking. By the way, you've imprisoned Emperor... Lu Shiyao. Are you planning to take the throne yourself?"

"Not interested in."

"But a country cannot be without a ruler for a day. If this continues, other countries will have other ideas."

"Twenty days later, the Seventh Brother will ascend the throne, and the coronation ceremony is already being prepared."

"You mean... Prince An?"

"Yes, Seventh Brother cares about the people, acts calmly, and considers the overall situation. The only flaw is that he is too soft-hearted. However, with the assistance of the elders and ministers, it shouldn't be a problem."

"You really don't care at all?"

"I'll listen to you."

"I don't care about you. I want to take your money and go out to travel and try all the delicious food in the world."

"Then can I stay by your side? If the princess is in a good mood, please give me something to eat."

Shen Nanyan smiled without saying a word, pinching Lu Jiusi's chin with her small hand, making him look at her.

"If you perform well, you will be rewarded!"

Lu Jiusi's eyes were full of stars. He reached out with his big hands and held Shen Nanyue in his arms.

"I will definitely serve you well."

The autumn wind created ripples outside the window, but the house was as hot as summer.

Five days later, unable to bear the humiliation, Lu fled from the camp alone. The only place she could go was the Lu family, but the Lu family was now in ruins. It was impossible for Lu Senquan to protect his sister, so he immediately asked Madam Lu to gather all the money in the family and give it to Lu. He planned to let Lu escape from the city overnight. This was also the purpose of Lu's coming to find her brother. Just as they were discussing, Qingyu rushed in with his guards.

As a result, not only did Mrs. Lu fail to escape, but the entire Lu family was implicated and thrown into prison. Mrs. Lu and other female members of the Lu family beat Mrs. Lu half to death in the prison, but this was not enough to satisfy them. In the end, they stripped Mrs. Lu naked in the cold prison. Mrs. Lu had just escaped from a wolf's den and entered a tiger's den. At this moment, she missed her days in the Shen family very much.

But it's too late!

They were not imprisoned for long. The notice issued by the government office was that the Lu family colluded with traitors from other countries and went to the western suburbs camp to steal the defense map. The Lu family members covered up the Lu family's evil deeds, and the whole family was guilty of a capital crime.

Soon the Lu family was taken to Caishikou, and all of the more than 70 members of the family, young and old, were beheaded. The scene was a river of blood, and many people fled in fear.

A month later, Lu Jiusi assisted Prince An to ascend the throne, and all the countries sent envoys to congratulate him. This was not only for the sake of diplomatic relations, but also because Lu Jiusi's wedding was approaching. After attending the coronation ceremony, the envoys did not leave and stayed for a whole month until red silk was hung in front of the doors of the Lu and Shen families. A scene even more lively than the coronation ceremony began.

The entire Shangjing City was decorated in red, and everyone was in high spirits. People who came to the Shen family to congratulate them almost broke down the threshold of the Shen family. Aunt Su was dressed in a dark red dress, which was elegant and decent, and she captured the style of the mistress very well.

After Lu was expelled from the house, the old lady quickly talked to Shen Zongyuan and made Concubine Su the principal wife. Shen Zongyuan did not hesitate and agreed without hesitation. In his heart, it was not only because Concubine Su was the only woman he had, but more importantly, he felt that Concubine Su was worthy of the position of mistress.

Ever since Aunt Su became the mistress, she has become much more radiant. Although she is still gentle, she exudes a bit of majesty, a side of her that Shen Nanyan has never seen before.

Today is Shen Nanyue's wedding, and Aunt Su is both happy and sad. She naturally believes that Lu Jiusi will treat her daughter well, but she also feels sorry for her daughter who has to get married at such a young age, and she really can't bear it.

The bridal sedan set out from the palace early in the morning. Lu Jiusi, dressed in red, rode the horse gracefully, with an irresistible smile on his face. There was no trace of coldness or sinisterness in him, as if he was born to be so warm.

Red silk was spread directly from the palace to the doorstep of the Shen family. In the wedding procession, candies and red envelopes were constantly distributed. People flocked to the scene with great enthusiasm.

Shen Nanyan was wearing the wedding dress that Lu Jiusi had prepared for her, and she had only light makeup on her face, which had already amazed everyone. Caifu looked straight at Shen Nanyan, and forgot to close her mouth. Nanny Yuan was full of joy, and the smile on her face never stopped.

Princess Chunxi, as Shen Nanyue's sister-in-law, was even more generous and gave her a dowry of sixty-six loads. Adding to that what the Shen family prepared, the servants could hardly count it!

Shen Nanyan looked at herself in the mirror calmly, her hands trembling slightly under her sleeves. She naturally believed Lu Jiusi, but every detail of her previous life kept replaying in her mind, leaving her with lingering fears.

But in this life, she will never let herself suffer even a little bit of grievance. Even if the person standing opposite her is Lu Jiusi, she will no longer be timid like in her previous life. This is not only for herself, but also for Aunt Su and Shen Yunzhi. Only when she becomes strong can she stand in front of them and block everything for them.

The auspicious time has arrived. Shen Nanyan's petite body lies on Shen Yunzhi's back like a quiet child. There is a hazy red mist in front of her eyes and endless congratulations in her ears. Shen Nanyan suddenly feels that this veil is not bad, otherwise she would be a little shy.

When that touch of red came into his eyes, Lu Jiusi became nervous unconsciously, with joy in his eyes that he couldn't suppress. No one knew how fast his heart was beating. He started looking forward to Shen Nanyan before she reached the age of marriage, and when she reached the age of marriage, he was worried that she would be taken away by someone else. It would be better to marry her directly and feel at ease than to be on guard day and night.

Under the red veil, Shen Nanyan only saw a vague shadow. Although she couldn't see clearly, she knew it was Lu Jiusi, and her heart was instantly filled with joy!

Until Shen Nanyan sat in the bridal sedan chair and the wedding procession set off again, Lu Jiusi gritted his teeth and did not dare to relax even a little!
