Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Not only was Yu Qingcang distorted in front of her, but even the red lantern above his head was crooked. Shen Nanyan shook her head and leaned it against the pillar. When she looked up again, the distorted Yu Qingcang was right in front of her.

"You are...you are drunk?"

Yu Qingcang smelled the smell of alcohol as soon as he approached Shen Nanyan. He was about to reach out to support Shen Nanyan, but someone got there first.

Lu Jiusi's big hand with distinct joints grasped Shen Nanyue's arm very measuredly.

Yu Qingcang glanced at Lu Jiusi, blinked, with some confusion between his brows, staggered back two steps, and gave up his seat. They had just come out of the palace and naturally had a few drinks. They had planned to go to the Prince Huai's Mansion to sit down, but they didn't expect to see Shen Nanyue, so they wanted to come down and say hello. After all, Yu Qingcang was still thinking about the dagger Shen Nanyue gave to Lu Jiusi.

According to his experience, the dagger was no ordinary item. Although his martial arts skills were average, he loved these sharp weapons. Even just holding one in his hand and playing with it would make him satisfied.

"Your Highness, Miss Shen seems to be drunk. It's definitely not okay for her to stand in this windy place. It's not safe at night either. Why don't I take her back?"

"I...no...no, I...I want to stay with my aunt. I won't go back."

Shen Nanyan held the pillar with one hand and grabbed Lu Jiusi's robe with the other, speaking incoherently, but Lu Jiusi clearly heard the word "aunt".

"Qingyu, send Master Yu back home."

"Your Highness, this..."

"She has family nearby, you go back first."

Lu Jiusi did not give Yu Qingcang any room to negotiate. He directly had him taken away and then moved closer to Shen Nanyue.

But just as she approached, Shen Nanyan's small body threw herself into his arms. Lu Jiusi's body stiffened instantly. With such a small and soft body pressed tightly against him, Lu Jiusi's heartbeat inexplicably accelerated.

Qingxuan on the side quickly reached out to help, because he knew that his prince hated women getting close to him the most, let alone in such a posture.

Lu Jiusi turned his head slightly, without even looking at Qingxuan, and Qingxuan's action was stopped. Lu Jiusi raised his eyes and looked around, then lowered them for a moment. When he opened them again, a trace of nervousness flashed in his eyes. Before Qingxuan could react, Lu Jiusi actually picked up Shen Nanyue.

Shen Nanyan's small body nestled in Lu Jiusi's chest, her jade-like hands tightly grasping his robe. Under her closed eyes were shadows like butterfly wings, and her naturally red lips were slightly raised, shining brightly in the cold moonlight.

In the dark night, the corners of Lu Jiusi's lips unconsciously rose, and his heart almost jumped out.

The two got on the carriage, and the whistling wind in their ears disappeared instantly. Lu Jiusi's carriage was much larger than ordinary carriages. He originally planned to put Shen Nanyue on the couch, but Shen Nanyue's hands kept grabbing his clothes. He had no choice but to hold Shen Nanyue and let her sleep in his arms.

Although there was no one else in the carriage, Lu Jiusi's body was tense. He did not dare to make any other movements while holding Shen Nanyue's hands. He sat in the carriage with his back straight and motionless, like a piece of wood.

When Shen Nanyue woke up, it was almost dawn.

Her head rubbed against Lu Jiusi's chest, like a docile kitten. She loosened her hands that were grabbing Lu Jiusi's clothes and started hugging him instead. She kept hugging him... Shen Nanyan suddenly opened her eyes, and when she opened her eyes, she met Lu Jiusi's deep eyes.

Between heaven and earth, everything before her eyes was hazy except for Lu Jiusi's stunning face. She sank into Lu Jiusi's star-like eyes, and the star-like light surrounded her, as if she was lying in cotton.

"woke up?"

Lu Jiusi's crisp voice interrupted Shen Nanyue's thoughts. Only then did she realize that she was lying in Lu Jiusi's arms. Her face turned red in an instant. She quickly withdrew her hands from hugging Lu Jiusi and struggled to get down. Lu Jiusi did not refuse, but gently put her on the couch and sat her down.

"I, I, I... this... where is my aunt? I want to go out for some fresh air, how... where is this?"

There were so many things in her mind that she didn't know what to ask.

"You are drunk outside Baiweizhai. This is my carriage. Your aunt and brother should still be in the restaurant. But as a concubine, going out to drink on New Year's Eve is not very appropriate."

"What do you mean? You want to threaten me?"

Lu Jiusi frowned.

"I have asked someone to send your aunt and brother back home."

"Ah... it's over, it's over. Forget about my brother, but if my aunt is found out, she will definitely be divorced. Lu Jiusi, you really can meddle in other people's business."

After saying this, Shen Nanyan was about to get up and return home, thinking in her mind how to help Aunt Su escape the disaster. The worst case scenario was that she was afraid of being divorced and expelled from the house.

Before Shen Nanyan could walk out, Lu Jiusi grabbed her and pulled her back.

"What are you doing?"

The ferocious Shen Nanyan in front of him was no longer as docile as a kitten just now.

"Am I so brainless in your eyes?"

No one had ever spoken to Lu Jiusi like this before. It was the first time he was misunderstood and treated harshly. Lu Jiusi felt a little uncomfortable, but looking at Shen Nanyue's furry head, he suppressed his temper, lowered his voice a few degrees, and explained patiently. He had never been so good-tempered before.

"If you had any brains, why would you send my aunt back?"

"Then is it possible that I had someone quietly send them into the mansion? Since I knew your aunt had quietly left the mansion, could I still send them back in a high-profile manner?"

"Then...then you...you really didn't..."

Shen Nanyan, who was as hot as a firecracker just now, suddenly died down, and her eyes were evasive when she looked at Lu Jiusi.

Lu Jiusi didn't say anything and sat back down somewhat disappointed. Shen Nanyan felt even more embarrassed and walked back with her fingers pinched.

"Just now I was too anxious and blamed you without asking clearly. My mother is not favored in the mansion and has no one to rely on. My brother has been naughty for many years. If there is any problem, she will be kicked out. This is not a question of whether she can survive if she leaves the Shen family, but my mother will be pointed at for the rest of her life. My mother can leave the Shen family, but it must be a peaceful divorce, not being kicked out, otherwise she will be forced to die."

Lu Jiusi didn't say anything and still kept a deliberately cold face. Shen Nanyan secretly thought that something was wrong.

His brother was going to the war under his command. If he was petty, at best he would refuse his brother to go with him, and at worst he would let his brother lose his life. This was a very serious matter.

"I don't understand your Highness's way of doing things. I just relied on my foolish imagination and made your Highness suffer. I hope your Highness will forgive me for my mistakes and spare me this time."

Even the emperor of the time had never lost his temper with Lu Jiusi like this, so it was no wonder that Lu Jiusi was a little angry. However, after hearing Shen Nanyue's soft and sweet explanation, the anger in his heart subsided.
