Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

After concentrating all night, Yongyang City appeared hazily in front of her as dawn approached. A smile immediately appeared on Shen Nanyue's face. She didn't expect that the plane was so fast. It took her half a month to arrive overnight.

The plane did not enter the city, but landed on a hill outside the west city. She rested on the hill for a while, changed her clothes into a man's ink-colored robe, and drew a big black mole on her face. Then, when a halo appeared in the sky, Shen Nanyue got up and walked down the mountain. Wu You accompanied her for a while, and it was almost dawn.

【I have to go back. I won’t go with you.】

[It's still dark, and I'm a little scared being alone in this deep mountain.]

[You have a gun, so why are you afraid?]

【Wool? What kind of yarn is it?】

[Next time I'll show you, this is such a good thing you can even hang yourself with it.]

Although Wu You entered the Qiankun Pearl, he did not leave. He chatted with Shen Nanyan all the way. It was just because the place where they landed was remote, Shen Nanyan had not come down the mountain when the sun came out.

【By the way, how did you plan it? 】

"I was so nervous last night that I had no time to think. I originally planned to go to the granary. You just need to give me food. As long as I have food, Lu Jiusi will know what to do."

[Do you know where the granary is? Do you want to give it to the government office or the military camp?]

Shen Nanyan paused, sat down, her mind blank.

"I... I don't know. Give it all to me... No, no, no, if so much food suddenly appears, Yongyang City will probably be in chaos."

"If you ask me, just give the food directly to the barracks. The soldiers are the core. Only when they're well-fed can they defend the city gates, and the civilians won't suffer. Besides, as long as there's enough food in the barracks, I'm sure Lu Jiusi won't withhold it from the people. No, what about that Lu Jiusi? What if he keeps the food and then takes it to the city to make a fortune? Then all your enthusiasm will be wasted."

[He shouldn't be that kind of person, otherwise he wouldn't go into battle with a poisoned body.]

Don't judge a book by its cover. Some people look like dogs, but they're actually dogs. But don't be afraid. Give them the food first. If they really want to exchange it for silver, I'll take it back. You just said he was poisoned. What kind of poison was it?

[How should I know? What does it have to do with me? Who cares?]

Shen Nanyue stood up, dusted herself off, and continued walking down the mountain. She should be able to enter the city by noon.

"Then let's make him more poisoned. I'm telling you, I have something really good. I guarantee he'll never be a man again after eating it. That's..."

[Hey, you're a child now, can you please say something that a child can understand?]

[Call me Little Sister. I know everything about astronomy and geography. A man's little things are nothing to him.]

"Stop it. By the way, you... go find Wei Ze after dark and give him my place to stay. Have him come find me at night. We can't be in the dark like this. With him leading me, we can go faster. I don't know if my brother is hungry, and it's so hot out, how will he survive?"

[I'm going to scare Wei Ze to death, hahahaha...]

[That's wishful thinking. I'll write a note after we get settled, and you can just give it to him.]

Thanks to Wu You who was laughing all the way, otherwise Shen Nanyan, who had never walked on a mountain road, would have given up long ago.

Even so, they didn't enter the city until the hour of Wei. As soon as they entered the city, Shen Nanyan was shocked by the scene before her. Most of the shops were closed, and only some shops selling clothes, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings were still struggling. There was not a single restaurant selling food among them. If it weren't for the food in the Qiankun Pearl, Shen Nanyan would have starved.

After walking around the city for a long time, she still couldn't find an inn. After asking someone, she found out that although some inns did not provide food, the shopkeeper also needed to eat. Rice was more expensive than silver now, so all the inns were closed. However, the man still pointed Shen Nanyan in a direction and said that it was one of the few inns in the city. It not only had rooms but also food, but it cost more money.

As long as she had a place to stay, Shen Nanyue didn't think much about it. After thanking the man, she walked towards the city center. The closer she got here, the more she could feel the difference from other places.

A five-story building rose from the ground, with the words "Silver Building" written on the plaque. Such a tall building was considered extremely tall in ancient times, which showed that the owner was not short of silver. There were also people coming to the door in an endless stream, of course, they were all people wearing gorgeous robes. Ordinary people who really couldn't afford to eat were not even allowed to approach the door of this store.

Shen Nanyan was alone and not dressed fancy enough. As soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by a servant who took advantage of his power.

"Go away, get out of here! You rotten beggar dares to come to our silver shop! You can't even eat shit in the right place."

"Could it be that everyone who enters this silver shop is looking for shit to eat?"

"How dare you talk like that, you beggar? Are you looking for a fight? Come on, brothers."

The servant immediately called over several men of the same age from the door. They were not good-looking, but looked arrogant.

"Didn't you say that?"

"I...I...I...No, you're just making excuses. Is that what I meant? Why don't you ask who's the most powerful person in Yongyang City? How dare you come to the Silver House and cause trouble? Brothers, beat them up."

Seeing that several thin men were about to pounce on them, Shen Nanyan took out a gold ingot from her arms. The gold sparkled under the scorching sun, as if it had pressed acupoints on the men, and she immediately stopped.

"Oh! It's gold, it's gold."

"Yes, this is the first time I've seen such a big ingot of gold."

"Everyone, please disperse. Don't block the distinguished guests from entering."

The man who had just ordered people to attack Shen Nanyan has now put on a pug-like appearance and changed his way of addressing Shen Nanyan from beggar to distinguished guest. It can be seen that money is still useful.

Shen Nanyan smiled and was not angry.

"Tell me, can I enter this silver shop?"

"Of course you must come in. Our silver shop is designed to serve distinguished guests like you. If you can't come in, who else can? Hurry up... don't let the sun burn you down. Please come in. Go and get an umbrella for the distinguished guest. You have no sense at all."

The servant was fawning and humble, and respectfully invited Shen Nanyan into the store. The shopkeeper, who knew about the situation, also came out to greet her, smiling and trying to get close to Shen Nanyan. Shen Nanyan didn't give him too much face. After all, she was not in the capital, and she was alone. She still had to be tactful in dealing with things, which would save her a lot of trouble.

Of course, Shen Nanyue did not let them down and threw a gold ingot directly to the shopkeeper.

"One of the upper rooms, and some food will be sent up. No one is allowed to disturb us anymore."

"Yes, yes, take the distinguished guest upstairs quickly."

In Shen Nanyan's opinion, silver is the least valuable thing. As long as she wants, she can empty the silver shop in minutes.

There was just one thing she didn't understand. The entire Yongyang City was suffering from a severe drought. How could Lu Jiusi tolerate such a place in Yongyang City? Could it be that he had something going on with the owner of this silver shop?
