Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

The city lord found Zhou Xinyue's embarrassed expression very funny and amusing.

She didn't know his identity during the day and called him crazy, but now she is so reserved, nervous and shy, which is very interesting.

Looking at her blushing face, I felt a different feeling in my heart, a feeling that I can't describe.

After he settled her down, he squatted in front of her, his eyes burning with heat, and he just stared at her without looking away.

Zhou Xinyue gripped the ground with her toes in embarrassment, frowned, looked left and right, but didn't look him in the eye.

Zhou Xinyue was getting nervous when being stared at. She thought this person was sick. He didn't say anything, but he was so close to her, and in front of so many people. What was he doing?

I thought to myself that he would just stare at me for a while, and I just had to be patient.

But before I knew it, some time had passed and he didn't show any intention of leaving. He just squatted in front of me and kept staring at me. What was he trying to do?

Zhou Xinyue began to feel uneasy. Some of the women around her looked at her with fiery eyes, while others lowered their heads to eat their food as if they didn't see anything.

Zhou Xinyue became more and more angry and furious, and she clenched her fists tighter in her sleeves.

Zhou Xinyue decided not to bear it any longer. She took a deep breath and was about to ask if he was sick. As soon as she opened her mouth, the old lady above suddenly spoke: "Grandson, you should go back to your seat."

The city lord reacted, turned around and said with a smile: "Grandma, I was distracted for a moment, sorry, I will be right there."

He turned his head back and whispered in her ear, "I'll come find you after the birthday gift. Wait for me, my beauty."

After saying that, he gave Zhou Xinyue a light kiss and blinked his eyes.

Zhou Xinyue was so angry that she immediately wiped away his kiss with her hand and yelled: "You he..."

He stopped talking immediately and his face turned red. Seeing his grandmother, old lady Sai, staring at him with a smile, he immediately controlled his anger.

Only the mouth made the "ma de" sound but no sound was uttered.

Zhou Xinyue's eyes were spitting fire, and she wished she could burn him.

But the more Zhou Xinyue acted like this, the more interesting the city lord found it, extremely interesting.

The city lord laughed and turned back to his seat.

Fanxing was sitting next to Zhou Xinyue, and her head was a mess when she saw this scene.

When the city lord returned to his seat, his grandmother couldn't help but whispered, "Grandson, why are you so abnormal today? This is not your usual self."

The city lord suppressed his laughter and said, "Grandma, don't you find it funny?"

Old Lady Sai took a look at Madam Zhou, who was furious, with a red face and wide-open eyes. The look in her eyes seemed to want to kill someone, and she indeed found it amusing.

He whispered, "You little bastard, didn't you hear her say that she has been married for five or six years and has two children? You're still teasing her."

The city lord smiled playfully, raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and said, "Whether it is true or false, my grandson will find out clearly. But, grandma, do you believe it?"

After saying this, the city lord glanced at Old Lady Sai, and then quietly looked at Zhou Xinyue, frowned and whispered: "It's true that she doesn't look like her."

The city lord smiled brightly and said, "That's right. If even you don't believe it, I don't believe it either. I will check it out myself, don't worry."

The old lady Sai smiled and said, "This girl is fine. I am very satisfied."

The city lord smiled even more happily and said, "It's rare that you can praise others, grandma. I have never seen you praise my woman like this. This is the first time."

The old lady laughed loudly, and the women sitting below whispered to each other.

They all said that they didn't know what the two grandmother and granddaughter were talking about, and why Mrs. Sai was laughing so happily.

Zhou Xinyue sat there with a gloomy face and red face, and lowered her head.

Afterwards, the city lord said some high-sounding words, raised his glass to thank Zhou Xinyue for saving his life, and said that he would raise her status to green. As soon as this was said, there was an uproar below.

Everyone discussed in a low voice.

The city lord knew that everyone might have opinions because they only knew that this woman saved his life, but did not know what happened on that day.

Everyone felt that it was unfair to give a woman a higher status just because they were interested in her and in the name of saving her life.

In order to change their nationality, people either made great contributions to the country, invented something to improve people's lives, or fought on the battlefield and performed great military exploits.

But this woman appeared here inexplicably today, and just because the city lord said that she saved his life, she was easily promoted. Why? If the soldiers below heard it, it would definitely cause an uproar and make everyone feel unfair.

Zhou Xinyue now feels all kinds of gazes from everyone in this hall, like sharp swords.

When the city lord teased her just now, no one reacted so violently. However, when the city lord said that he wanted to improve his social status, everyone immediately cast strange looks at him, making Zhou Xinyue feel like a thorn in her back.

Among them was a woman who was a little braver, her name was Lanzhi.

Lan Zhi had been in the palace the longest and was named Lan Yi Ren. He had the highest status among the concubines in the City Lord's Palace.

The City Lord's Mansion divides the women who serve in the Mansion into five levels: fifth-class plain women, fourth-class young women, third-class Zhi women, second-class beauties, first-class pleasant women, and special-class City Lord's wives.

But up to now, the City Lord's Mansion has never had a City Lord's Wife.

Lan Zhilan Yiren said very gently: "City Lord, let's wait and see about this decision."

Lan Yiren said this softly and tenderly with a very gentle and affectionate look.

Instead, the city lord seemed a little displeased. His right index finger kept drawing circles along the rim of the wine glass, and he looked at Lan Yiren sharply.

He said in a disdainful tone: "What's wrong with that?"

Lan Yiren looked at the city lord's cold eyes and knew that he was already getting angry.

He paused, lowered his head and dared not speak.

Another woman, seeing that Lan Yiren dared not speak, said boldly: "Your Highness, Lan Yiren just hopes that the City Lord will think more carefully before making a decision. After all, there are tens of thousands of soldiers under your jurisdiction who have been stationed at the border for many years, exposed to the wind and sun. Even if the City Lord wants to promote the status of the generals, he should start with the generals, not with this woman who inexplicably came to the palace for only one day. I am afraid that it will make the tens of thousands of people feel unfair."

The person who spoke was Wu Meiren, whose status was second only to Lan Yiren.

The city lord raised his eyes and thought that this beautiful woman Wu usually didn't talk much, but today she spoke so many words one after another. He had never realized before that she was so eloquent.
