Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Songzhi's words hit the nail on the head when An Lingrong was thinking. Yes, she was right. Marrying Yinzhen would bring honor to the family. But she was only partially right. She didn't know the other part, which was that if she wasn't careful, she would end up with the whole family being executed. Nian Shilan knew that she was an example of this in the past.

An Lingrong lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her eyelids, revealing her lively eyes, "I am willing to stay in the capital for my sister." For my sister? It sounds good, but it's just a trade-off of interests.

"That's great. I will do what I promised you." Nian Shilan said happily.

An Lingrong nodded gently, "Thank you, sister."

"Songzhi, go to your brother tomorrow and ask him to find someone to clean up the old house and let Lingrong live there first." Nian Shilan instructed.

"Yes." After saying that, Songzhi waited outside the door. Seeing how good Nian Shilan was to An Lingrong, she felt from the bottom of her heart that An Lingrong was not worthy of him.

"The concubine really flatters her." Songzhi grumbled softly while grabbing the grass in her hand. Zhou Ninghai had been with Songzhi for a long time, and he couldn't bear to see her being wronged. He asked, "What's wrong, my little aunt? Did Miss Lingrong offend you again?"

"Not really, it's just that the concubine treats her too well, and I don't think she deserves it." Songzhi's aggrieved look with her pouting lips was really pitiful.

"Oh, it's just because of this. Now that the master is in need of people, this is what we should do. Besides, the concubine has been very good to us." Zhou Ninghai felt relieved when he saw that Songzhi was not wronged.

"I know that the concubine is a great person. I just think that An Lingrong is not worthy of the concubine being so good to her. Why should I bother with her?" Song Zhi rolled her eyes, like a child.

Zhou Ninghai didn't say anything, just touched her head and smiled.

Songzhi widened her eyes, "Zhou Ninghai! You are so bold! How dare you touch my head!" Zhou Ninghai was frightened and immediately withdrew his hand. This little girl was quite fierce.

……

Yinzhen lay on the bed playing with the bracelet in his hand with his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Qi Yuebin walked over slowly, with her hair loose and shiny black. She smiled as she looked at the man on the bed with eyes full of love.

She sat gently on the bed and whispered, "Prince." Before she could lean her head on him, she saw him put down the bracelet, turned around, and said, "Go to sleep." His words were so cold, as if he didn't come to her room willingly.

She had always known that Yinzhen didn't have her in his heart, but she naively thought that one day she would be able to impress him.

Qi Yuebin lifted the quilt and lay down gently on the bed, afraid to make any noise that would disturb Yinzhen's rest and make him angry. She looked at Yinzhen's back, which was broad, strong and sturdy, but she was not in his arms.

Yinzhen was in her room, but he didn't let her sleep with him. What was the point? Before she knew it, her pillow was wet... It was tears, still a little warm...

next day

Yinzhen left early, leaving Qi Yuebin alone in the room.

Nian Shilan, Nian Gengyao, An Lingrong and their group walked along the street, and soon they arrived at a house. This was the old house of the Nian family. Although no one lived there, it was still very impressive. Someone had been cleaning it to prevent it from being abandoned. Although it could not be compared with the current residence of the Nian family, it was also very good.

"This is it, sister. What do you think?" Nian Shilan brought An Lingrong into the yard. The square yard was very spacious, with high walls all around it and covered with roses. As soon as you entered the yard, you could smell the fragrance of flowers, which were pink and tender, and gorgeous. From time to time, there were a few butterflies lying on them, which was very beautiful.

When she entered the house, she was filled with a faint and distant fragrance. She was very focused. After sniffing it, An Lingrong said, "This is benzoin."

"Yes, what is burned in this room is benzoin. The girl knows so much about fragrance?" Nian Gengyao was greatly shocked. If it was sandalwood, agarwood or the like, it would be fine as they are more common in daily life. But benzoin is not so common. It takes a certain amount of skill to mix this kind of fragrance. Only an expert can tell it by just smelling it. And at this time, An Lingrong was only a fourteen-year-old girl. It was remarkable that she had such skills.

"To answer your question, sir, my father was originally in the spice business, so I know a little about it." An Lingrong bowed to Nian Gengyao and replied.

Nian Gengyao looked at the little girl in front of him, stroked his beard, and looked her up and down. She looked quite well behaved. "Follow the concubine carefully, and you will not suffer any loss."

"Yes." An Lingrong lowered her head and answered. She stood there and looked around the house, not daring to move around.

Leaving An Lingrong to visit the house, Nian Shilan pulled her brother aside and said, "Brother, let this little girl live here first. I plan to let her serve the prince in two years when she is older."

When Nian Gengyao heard this, he instantly became anxious and expressed his confusion, "What! Are you crazy? You think there are not enough women in the palace and you have too much favor, right?" This made Nian Gengyao very angry. As a brother, he couldn't bear to see his sister suffer any grievances.

"I heard that the prince gave you Huan Yi Xiang some time ago. It is priceless and worth ten thousand gold. You are the only one in the whole palace! The prince treats you so well. Do you want to give such a favor to others?" Nian Gengyao really couldn't understand his sister more and more.

Everyone says that this priceless Huan Yi incense is delicious, but only Nian Shilan knows its secret!

"Okay, brother, don't worry about it. I have my reasons for everything I do. You know, I do it all for our Nian family." As she said that, Nian Shilan patted Nian Gengyao on the back. This is how she had been coaxing her brother since they were young. She knew that her brother would fall for it the most.

"Okay, okay, I won't care about you anymore. You're grown up now, just know your limits in doing things. The girl is still in the room, don't keep her waiting too long." Nian Gengyao spoke in a doting tone. He always treated his sister like a child.

"Please sit anywhere and don't be polite. This will be your home from now on." Seeing An Lingrong's reserved look, Nian Shilan said.

"Yes, thank you, sister." An Lingrong sat aside, as obedient as a kitten. Yes, after all, she was an unfamiliar place here.

Nian Shilan frowned, as if remembering something, "Look, you are alone outside, it won't work without someone to take care of you."

An Lingrong thought for a moment and said, "My sister comes from a humble background, so it would be fine if she had someone to take care of her at home, but unfortunately, there is not enough manpower at home, so my sister cannot bring anyone with her when she goes out. When she goes out, she has to rely on herself for everything."
