Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

Zhou Xinyue rolled her eyes at these things and said, "Do you think I care about these things of yours?"

The servant continued to ignore her and said, "There is food here, all recommended by foreign guests. The city lord is worried that you, the future queen, have not tasted it, so he specially ordered the servants to bring it to you. Future queen, if you have figured it out and are hungry, just tell us loudly if you have any requests. We will be waiting outside the palace."

"Take it, take it. Who wants your things?"

The maids continued to ignore him, bowed and saluted before leaving. "The servants will take their leave."

After saying that, he turned around and went out and closed the door.

Zhou Xinyue yelled at the top of her lungs: "Let me out, call your stinky city lord and ask him to let me out, I'm so mad..."

Zhou Xinyue had been yelling at the top of her lungs for who knows how long, but there was no response at all. It was extremely quiet outside the room, without a single sound.

Zhou Xinyue yelled for a long time and felt a little dry-mouthed.

She paused for a moment and could not help but yelled, "Someone, I need some water, someone..."

She shouted for an unknown amount of time, but no one paid any attention to her. She laughed at herself helplessly, "If I escape one day, I will definitely leave this place and go to another city. I will never stay here again. What queen? I am just a canary in a golden cage."

Before she knew it, it was late at night. She didn't know what time it was, but Zhou Xinyue just felt a little lethargic and dizzy.

Suddenly, someone called her in a daze.

She was fed water and food, and when she came to her senses, she saw two unfamiliar maids standing in front of her.

Their master stood beside them.

This woman looks so familiar. I wonder where I've seen her before? She seems to be Lan Yiren, who was very opposed to Balbu's proposal to raise her citizenship two days ago.

Yes, I remember now, it seemed to be her.

"It's you…"

Unexpectedly, someone immediately covered her mouth and signaled her not to make any sound.

He immediately used a knife to cut the rope that bound her and took her away through a secret passage behind a bookshelf in the corner of the room.

She didn't think too much about it and quickly followed them, no matter what they would do to her, whether she was dead or alive, she would deal with it after she got out.

I don't know how long I walked before I got outside.

Unexpectedly, there was a dirt road and a horse-drawn carriage on a barren slope.

There were more than a dozen men and women holding torches, and the one who was most gorgeously dressed was Lan Yiren.

Zhou Xinyue panted and said, "Thank you, Lan Yiren."

Lan Yiren turned around and looked at her, with a gleam in her eyes, and said, "I wanted to get rid of you, but I found out that you have two hungry children, who are young and have no one to take care of them. I have also been unattended since I was a child. Although I come from a wealthy family, I have many frustrations and am helpless. I feel pity for your children and cannot bear to kill you. Besides, you have no intention of becoming the queen, and you have no intention of staying in the city lord's mansion, which is very much in line with my mind. So, after repeated consideration, I decided to secretly rescue you, send you out of the city, and let you fend for yourself."

"Thank you for your help, Lan Yiren. Lan Yiren, you are right. That's right. I have no intention of staying in the palace or becoming the queen. I don't like this kind of life. These are not what I want."

"Fortunately, none of this is what you want, otherwise, I would never spare your life. The position of Queen cannot be yours. I cannot let the city lord's years of hard work go to waste. We have made efforts in secret and paid everything. We cannot expose it to the world because of you. Now is definitely not the right time. There are too many helpless things in the world. You understand."

"Those are your business and have nothing to do with me. I just want to take my family and children away from here and live a simple life."

"Go ahead, they are all in the car. In order not to alert the enemy, keep them unconscious for now. They will wake up tomorrow!"

When Zhou Xinyue heard this, she ran over quickly, opened the curtain and saw them all in the car.

Tears burst out instantly.

"Thank you, Lan Yiren. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you very much."

"There is water, food, and silver in the car. Hurry up and leave! Leave here. Never come back again."

"I will. Never come back."

After saying this, Zhou Xinyue bowed deeply to thank Lan Yiren.

Then he turned around, got into the carriage, waved the whip, and the carriage finally started.

Lan Yiren looked at the carriage going away and felt relieved.

"She's finally gone. She's finally disappeared."

Lan Yiren's personal maid whispered, "My lady, you are so kind."

"I love the city lord deeply, and I will never let him ruin his own future. Moreover, the position of queen can only belong to me, how can I give it to someone else? Fortunately, she is not interested in this. If I hadn't seen her two young children, I would have gotten rid of her long ago. It is the best solution for her to go away from now on."

Zhou Xinyue didn't know where to go, so she could only explore on her own. Sometimes when she came to a fork in the road, she just walked aimlessly. Occasionally, when she heard a mountain stream, she would stop to observe and then drive the carriage aimlessly on.

Finally, I saw a thatched hut, which might be a temporary residence for hunters who went up the mountain to hunt.

No matter what, just stay here first.

There were some dusty firewood here. Zhou Xinyue was ecstatic and very happy.

It was quickly lit, and some food was roasted with the things in the carriage.

Zhou Xinyue looked at the child and saw that he was sleeping soundly. It seemed that Lan Yiren had indeed not done anything cruel to him.

Relieved, she took a nap by the fire in the hunting lodge.

Soon it was dawn, the stars woke up, and Heimao was also woken up.

The two of them ran out excitedly holding the child, and unexpectedly saw Zhou Xinyue curled up and sleeping by the fire. They were very happy and excited.

Zhou Xinyue was awakened by Fanxing. The two met again after the disaster and hugged each other excitedly. Fanxing kept gesturing and asked many questions.

Zhou Xinyue patiently explained the whole story to them, and the two finally understood.

I just feel reluctant to leave the home I just built.

That new home was built by everyone’s joint efforts. It was hard to leave it suddenly.

Zhou Xinyue also felt very sorry and felt sorry for everyone. If it weren't for her, they wouldn't have fallen to this point.

Fanxing hurriedly hugged her to comfort her, and gestured to her, roughly meaning: "It's gone, sister. If that home is gone, we can rebuild it. If people are gone, then everything is gone."

Zhou Xinyue nodded, and Heimao continued, "My wife, don't worry about it. The most important thing is that our family is together. The health and safety of our family are more important than anything else."

Zhou Xinyue expressed her strong agreement.

They were chatting when suddenly there seemed to be a noise outside, and then a bang, as if something fell from the sky.

After a while, a dog was heard barking, and then it fell silent.

Fanxing gestured curiously and asked, "Could it be that the master has returned?"

Heimao said, "You two stay here, don't move, I'll go out and take a look."

Heimao went out, and Zhou Xinyue, holding the child, waited inside with Fanxing.
