Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

In Baiweizhai, Lu Jiusi and Yu Qingcang had a small gathering to discuss resignation. Of course, they were unwilling to let Lu Jiusi lead the troops to war. The first thing they considered was naturally Lu Jiusi's health. Secondly, Yu Qingcang suspected that the invasion from the border was most likely a conspiracy of the prince. The old emperor was reluctant to abdicate, and he was like an ant on the hot pan, and he could not wait any longer.

If Lu Jiusi died, it would mean that the old emperor's thoughts were cut off. In this way, his throne would be secure, after all, he was already in his forties.

"If you ask me, you'd better not go. The emperor is old, you have to stay in Shangjing to avoid future troubles."

"What's the point of defending Shangjing if we lose the border cities? Shang Ci, let Xiao Yichen come to Beijing next year and go with me on the expedition."

"it is good."

After the three of them finished, before they left the private room, Yu Qingcang's followers walked in.

"Sir, someone has already paid for this meal."

Yu Qingcang was speechless, then he lifted his hair and smiled evilly.

"Look, it must be my suave and handsome appearance that has captivated these girls. Now they've even chased us here and paid for us. Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have ordered a few more plates of that jade tofu. It's so smooth and delicious."

"Don't you ever look in the mirror?"

Shang Ci retorted to Yu Qingcang, then turned to look at his followers.

"Did the shopkeeper tell me who it was? Don't create any misunderstandings."

The follower glanced at Yu Qingcang and took a step back.

"The shopkeeper said that the Fifth Miss of the Shen family is treating Your Highness, and...she also said that Your Highness can order anything he wants, because the Fifth Miss of the Shen family will treat you."

Lu Jiusi's eyes flickered slightly, but there was no reaction on his face, but the doubts in his heart deepened.

Sending snacks and treating me to a meal, could it be that she really wants to get close to me in this way? But this method is too childish.

"What? It's...it's impossible. They must be inviting Master Yu. They must be inviting me. How could a normal girl invite a wooden man like him to dinner? Look at him, he's as hard as a piece of iron. Is that girl crazy?"

Yu Qingcang was furious. Of course, he did not deny that Lu Jiusi was extremely handsome, but the words "Keep Away" were always written on his face. When those girls saw him, their legs went limp with fear. How could they possibly love him? So they must have invited him, because he was so gentle, considerate, handsome and dashing.

"What do you think, Your Highness?"

This was the first time they had encountered such a thing, and Shang Ci couldn't help but wonder if Lu Jiusi, the big ice cellar, was moved.

"It has nothing to do with me. It's Master Yu who's treating us today. Just accept the invitation."

After saying that, Lu Jiusi walked out of the restaurant.

In the carriage, Lu Jiusi was holding a white jade cup, but his mind was sorting out his relationship with Shen Nanyue.

Although the two had met once when they were young, many years had passed, and everyone knew that it was the eldest daughter of the Shen family who saved her. Maybe she herself had forgotten about it. Could it be that her frequent displays of kindness in recent days meant that she was really attracted to him?

But when did she fall in love, and why did she fall in love? On the Shangsi Festival, she wanted to kill herself. It couldn't be that after she had been home for so many days, that murderous intent turned into love?

Lu Jiusi suddenly woke up, shook his head, and got rid of this inappropriate thought.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Shen Nanyan was still a girl who hadn't even reached marriage age yet. She was ten years younger than me. I had to be crazy to have such an idea.

Heavy snowfall became more and more frequent, and all the people in Beijing tried not to go out unless necessary. Shen Nanyue also stayed in the house all day long. She didn't even go to the opening of another restaurant, Ke Laixuan. She left everything to her uncle Su Zhaoyu and cousin Su Xinyuan. She became a hands-off boss. Anyway, as long as the restaurant opened, it would be crowded. She never worried about customers, and she stayed in the yard every day to make all kinds of delicious food with Caifu.

Ever since Shen Nanyue stopped going out, Caifu could always eat strange and exotic things every now and then. Sometimes Aunt Su could also try some new things, and Shen Zongyuan, who often went to Aunt Su's courtyard, was also lucky enough to taste them.

"Yan'er, who did you learn cooking from? This lychee meat dish is even better than the dishes at the palace banquet."

It was rare for Shen Zongyuan to be so happy that he even lost his composure when praising Shen Nanyue. It really was like a father trying to amuse his daughter.

"Daddy, do you still like it?"

"I like it, of course I like it. Seriously, can you help Dad prepare a table like this during the New Year?"

"Dad, are you going to entertain relatives and friends?"

"I'll treat my colleagues and make them envious that we can enjoy such delicacies at home."

"If that's what Dad wants, then there's absolutely no problem. Dad just needs to tell his daughter the date."

"really?"

"Although my daughter is a woman, her words are still hers."

"Okay, okay, Yingqiu, your daughter is becoming more and more like a legitimate daughter."

Aunt Su placed the teacup in Shen Zongyuan's palm, and then took Shen Nanyue's hand and placed it on the charcoal fire to warm it.

"Master, please don't say that. It would be terrible if someone heard it."

"What's there to be afraid of? I can't even say a word in this mansion."

"It was just a joke from the master, but it has a different meaning to them. If anyone else hears it, it might even put Yan'er in danger."

Aunt Su thought of Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Lu had been locked up in the ancestral hall for the past two months. But as the end of the year was approaching, she would be out soon. By then, she was afraid that her peaceful days would be over.

Shen Zongyuan understood Aunt Su's worries very well.

"Don't worry, this mansion is not her Lu family..."

"Master, Aunt Su, no...something's wrong, something's wrong."

The servant from the outer courtyard ran in in a panic and fell heavily at the door.

"Run slower, and tell me what's going on slowly."

Aunt Su gave instructions while kneading her daughter's delicate little hands.

"Mrs. Su, the Second Young Master... he was attacked by someone. He met some bad guys and got injured. He's covered in blood. Lots and lots of blood..."

Before the servant could finish his words, Shen Nanyue pulled back her hand and ran out. Aunt Su staggered and lost her balance. Fortunately, Shen Zongyuan stood up and supported her.

Shen Nanyan clenched her palms as she ran.

[Wu You, medicine, give me the medicine, quickly.]

【What's wrong? 】

【My brother is injured, I...I want to save him.】

[Please calm down first. As a doctor, the most important thing is to stay calm. If you don't calm down, you won't be able to rationally judge the cause of the disease, let alone prescribe medicine. You must calm down and then use the knowledge you learned from the Qiankun Pearl to examine the injury. I'll go over and wait for you.]

After hearing Wu You's words, Shen Nanyan took a deep breath and kept telling herself to stay calm, which calmed her pounding heart.

During this year, Shen Nanyan learned a lot of medical skills in the Qiankun Pearl. She knew that a person's stomach could be cut open, and that women would not necessarily die after giving birth. Many diseases that were incurable in this world were nothing in Wu You's world.

As long as my brother is still alive, there is hope.
