Quick Wear: The paranoid beauty grabs the waist and spoils her

At this moment, Pei Jinchen was tossing and turning in a foreign land in the middle of the night, unable to fall asleep, and Nan Xiang, who was far away in Xucheng, was also having trouble sleeping.

She was immersed in a dream that took her back to her childhood. In the dream, her consciousness was extremely clear, as if she could see through it, witnessing the bitter and sweet days she spent in the Lu Mansion, and personally experiencing all the experiences there.

Lu Nanxiang is the daughter of Lu Dashuai, a warlord in Anhui. She used to be a son, but later she became a daughter again.

For Marshal Lu, it is a source of pride, but also a source of headache.

But to other people in the Lu Mansion, Lu Nanxiang was a female devil to them. They had to hide many of their little thoughts in their hearts, feeling shocked and afraid.

Marshal Lu's original wife and Lu's marriage were a marriage of arrangement, and there was no emotional foundation between them. The wife would not say much about Marshal Lu's romantic and lustful habits. Normally, when Marshal Lu took a concubine, the wife would take good care of it. So even if Marshal Lu had no feelings for the doctor, there was a certain degree of affection between them as husband and wife.

Over the years, Marshal Lu married nine concubines one after another. Some were young ladies from impoverished aristocratic families, like the third and seventh concubines, some were beauties offered by other warlords or subordinates, such as the second, fourth and ninth concubines, some were prostitutes, such as the fifth and sixth concubines, and there was also an eighth concubine who was a peasant girl.

Since the First Lady was married to Marshal Lu, her status was naturally the highest among these women. The First Lady was from the Yang family of Anhui Province, a noble family with a rich family background.

As for Lu Nanxiang's biological mother, she was Marshal Lu's favorite woman, the third concubine, from the Xu family of Jingzhou.

The Xu family was once a more glorious and prominent family than the Yang family, but the family had already fallen into decline by the generation of the third concubine's father.

The encounter between the Third Concubine and Marshal Lu was ordinary yet not so ordinary. It originated from a clichéd story of a hero saving a damsel in distress.

Marshal Lu did not tell his real name to Lu Nanxiang's mother Xu Huizhi. Instead, he took a pseudonym and created the impression that he was not married yet.

Xu Huizhi had some doubts about this, but she finally believed it after getting to know him better.

Under Marshal Lu's domineering yet gentle offensive, Lu Nanxiang's mother Xu Huizhi fell deeper and deeper, and was addicted to Marshal Lu's feelings.

Little do people know that this clear sea of ​​emotions only appears calm, but inside it hides many turbulent waves and undercurrents.

Just like the world, it is not black and white, there is a large area of ​​gray.

Although Xu Huizhi's family had fallen into poverty, she was brought up to be too innocent, so she didn't know Marshal Lu's identity, nor did she know that Marshal Lu already had a wife, children, and concubines. She only knew that she liked Marshal Lu very much, and the two of them fell in love.

Xu Huizhi only found out later that Marshal Lu had suggested marrying her off as his third concubine, but the naive Xu Huizhi refused. So Marshal Lu started to force Xu Huizhi to marry him, and finally got his wish.

Ever since Xu Huizhi became the third concubine, she never treated Marshal Lu well. She was extremely cold and indifferent to everything. Marshal Lu was rejected again and again, and his enthusiasm waned. He began to focus on other people, and accepted the person sent by other warlords as his fourth concubine, and brought back a popular singer from the dance hall as his fifth concubine.

At the same time, Xu Huizhi discovered that she was pregnant. After knowing this, Marshal Lu suddenly felt bored with his new favorites, the Fourth and Fifth Concubines, and immediately went to find Xu Huizhi.

During her pregnancy, although Xu Huizhi still did not treat Marshal Lu well, her attitude softened.

Marshal Lu was also very happy. He had hoped more than once that Xu Huizhi's baby would be a son. Xu Huizhi also kept it in mind and hoped in her heart that it would be a son.

Because she and Marshal Lu had agreed that if it was a son, he would let her go free after she raised him to three years old.

Marshal Lu thought about it and agreed to Xu Huizhi's request.

Xu Huizhi wanted freedom so much. She looked forward to a lifelong relationship with one person and had a beautiful vision of love. However, after her relationship with Marshal Lu, she gave up and began to yearn for freedom. No matter how turbulent the outside world was, she just wanted to escape from the Marshal's Mansion.

Although Marshal Lu loved Xu Huizhi, it did not prevent him from going to rest with the first lady and the second, fourth and fifth concubines. Xu Huizhi did not care, as long as she could leave.

For this reason, she began to compete for favor, which she had previously despised. She wanted to ensure that she gave birth to a son, and only a son.

She had already discussed it with her nanny Qian.

So when Nan Xiang was born, it was announced to the public that it was a son. Marshal Lu was very happy and liked Nan Xiang very much. The other concubines all felt a sense of crisis and began to work hard to please the Marshal and leave behind a child.

Xu Huizhi knew that she was giving birth to a daughter and was afraid that it would be exposed sooner or later, so matters such as Nan Xiang's privacy before she was three years old were always handled by Xu Huizhi herself and Qian.

And just in case, she planned to raise Nan Xiang until she was five years old before leaving.

Although they were related by blood, freedom was still the most important thing in Xu Huizhi's heart, not to mention that she had told such a huge lie.

She wanted to leave as soon as possible.

However, no matter how much she longed for freedom, it eventually became a luxury.

When Lu Nanxiang was four years old, Xu Huizhi was murdered.

After investigation, it was found that it was done by the fourth concubine in the mansion.

Marshal Lu was furious and severely punished the fourth concubine for this, but did not take her life, because the fourth concubine was sent by other warlords, and he and that warlord were at a critical period and it was not advisable to act rashly. Also, the fourth concubine had the amulet in her belly and was pregnant.

Marshal Lu felt very guilty about this, and he was always a little more indulgent towards Nan Xiang, and brought Nan Xiang to his side to train her carefully.

Nan Xiang's identity was never discovered until she went to the battlefield and took over the responsibility of the young marshal.

Qian had always been with Lu Nanxiang and had also covered up Lu Nanxiang's identity.

No one in the Lu family had any doubts.

Lu Nanxiang has always been aware that although she is dressed as a man, her body is actually that of a girl. She has just gotten used to it and has never tried to correct it.

Just let it be. Besides, it is easier to survive and more convenient to act in men's clothes than in women's clothes in this chaotic world.

However, Nan Xiang will choose to restore her identity as a daughter at an appropriate time.

The time she chose happened to be the time when she completely stripped her old father of his real power and became the true successor to the Marshal.

Although Marshal Lu has many children, none of them is as outstanding as Lu Nanxiang, who has outstanding talents in the military.

Therefore, Marshal Lu has always trained Lu Nanxiang as his successor.

However, this aroused the jealousy of other people in the Marshal's Mansion.

Lu Nanxiang did not have a good life in a place where Marshal Lu could not see, even with Qian's presence.

Lu Nanxiang had been tolerant and kept it in mind until she had the ability to settle accounts with these so-called concubines, young masters and young ladies one by one.

The time interval was not long, and she was also a person with temper and ability.

Lu Nanxiang was not reckless in his calculations, but had his own estimates.

Although she had a bad reputation in the outside world from her youth to her youth, she didn't care. The older she got, the more she understood the many disasters and the current severe situation in China. Lu Nanxiang started to pursue her ideal goal and set sail for it.

……

Lu Nanxiang dreamed about his childhood, and also dreamed about a fragment of a little boy who looked familiar but had never appeared before.

She didn't know why she had such a strange dream.

That night, Nan Xiang tossed and turned in bed, her mind in turmoil.

The two of them appeared under the tree in the courtyard at the same time, sat quietly for a moment, admiring the crescent moon together, with thoughts floating in their eyes.

The two seemed to be still together, but they had only not seen each other for a day and it was like this. Pei Jinchen's heart was in turmoil again, and a certain decision in Nan Xiang's heart became clearer and clearer.

Although one is in Xucheng and the other in Jingzhou, the crescent moon among the swaying shadows of the trees seems to carry the same emotions of the two.

Perhaps at some point in the future, this emotion will be intertwined like tree roots, take root, sprout, and bloom into gorgeous flowers, just like the tall pear tree in the courtyard. Although its flowering period has passed, it is still tall and green. Although the white flowers have withered, the faint fragrance of pear blossoms drifts away with the wind, carrying away the melancholy of parting.

It’s the end of May and the pear blossom season is coming to an end, but the faint fragrance of the pear blossoms still drifts away with the sadness of parting.

Maybe we will end up in the same place.
