The daily life of a concubine's daughter

For some unknown reason, she was reborn.

In the previous life, the Shi family, led by the old duke and the old lady, doted on Shi Mingzhu.

Shi Mingzhu was attracted by the fourth prince Zhou Shao's handsome appearance, noble and elegant character, and she would not marry anyone else.

The darling of the Shi family married the prince, so of course the prince had to be the most honorable man in the world, and Shi Mingzhu had to be the most honorable woman in the world.

Therefore, the men of the Shi family actively supported Zhou Shao in his bid for the throne and dethroned Crown Prince Zhou Yi.

Who knows, when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog will be cooked.

Although the prince had been sickly since childhood, he had not committed any serious mistakes and was just a little soft-tempered. The emperor and most of the ministers supported the prince in inheriting the throne.

However, the Shi family, despite the disapproval of the whole world, insisted on supporting Zhou Shao to ascend the throne, which made Zhou Shao and the court officials very wary.

As soon as Zhou Shao ascended the throne, he joined forces with his ministers to accuse the Shi family of treason, immorality, disrespect, and murdering the former crown prince, charges that were worthy of confiscation of property and extermination of the clan.

When the wall fell, everyone pushed it down. In the end, all the members of the Zhenguo Mansion were executed immediately, even her half-year-old baby Xiangyun was not spared.

She knocked her head and begged in vain, Zhou Shao wanted to kill Xiangyun and refused to spare her life. The night before the execution, she secretly smothered Xiangyun to death in order to keep her son's body intact.

She was forced to kill her son with her own hands, and after her death, her resentment still lingered around Shi Mingwu.

That’s right, Shi Mingwu is not dead.

Ever since Zhou Shao refused to make Shi Mingzhu his queen, the Shi family became wary and contacted other ministers to press the issue, accusing the new emperor of being ungrateful and demoting his first wife to a concubine, and urging him to make Shi Mingzhu his queen.

After the Shi family got into trouble, Shi Mingwu fled the capital and went to the north. He secretly contacted the old members of the Shi family, relied on the fifth prince Zhou Xu, and fought his way into the capital with Zhou Xu. Eventually Zhou Xu ascended the throne.

Shi Mingwu was the only one left in the Shi family. After Shi Mingwu took revenge, he knelt in the ancestral hall for a day and a night. After he came out, he handed over his military power, married a second wife, took in more than a dozen concubines, had a bunch of sons, and adopted a son for each of his seven younger brothers and Shi Mingzhu to continue the family line.

He lived the rest of his life in wealth and luxury, surrounded by beautiful women. He lived to be seventy-three and had a little son the year before his death.

Fu Nanjun wiped the tears from his face.

How much I loved the man around me in the past, how much I hate him now.

Because the woman Shi Mingwu married again was his half-sister, Aunt Wan's youngest daughter, Fu Xiujun.

There had been some disagreement between her parents. It happened that her father went to a colleague's house for a drink and met a petite and gentle dancer named Wan, who looked 90% like her mother, so her father kept Wan as his concubine.

After she gave birth to two children, she could no longer hide it, so she brought them back home.

My mother was so upset that she couldn't eat for three days, but there was nothing she could do. People all over the capital were waiting to laugh at her, so she could only grit her teeth and bear it. However, she almost broke off all ties with my father in private.

Since my father could not get any warmth from my disheartened mother, he stayed in Wan's room every night, as if they were husband and wife.

Wan gave birth to two sons and two daughters. The youngest daughter was Fu Xiujun, who was fifteen years younger than her.

Shi Mingwu knew very well that she disliked Wan, and even more so disliked her half-sister who looked 80% like her and imitated her in every way, but he still married Xiujun as his second wife.

She watched helplessly as Fu Xiujun took over her position, watched helplessly as her husband had children with another woman, and watched helplessly as her husband burst into tears on the day Fu Xiujun died. He held her hand and said, "Xiujun, my heart is filled with only you. As for your sister, I can no longer remember what she looked like. She has long passed away."

Fu Xiujun closed her eyes with relief.

A few days later, Shi Mingwu missed Fu Xiujun so much that he opened the window in the middle of the night, chanted to the wind and the moon, and reminisced about his old love. A cold wind followed Xiujun away.

Fu Nanjun's face was covered with tears, and he murmured, "She passed away a long time ago... Hehe..."

As she cried, she began to laugh, her eyes full of sarcasm.

At that moment, did Shi Mingwu still remember his wife and three sons who had died tragically?

On their wedding night, he promised that she would be the only one in his eyes and heart for the rest of his life!

Because of his words, she even served his mother carefully and was willing to be her mother-in-law's vanguard, doing all the dirty and bad things. She was a delicate daughter of an official family, who didn't even dare to kill a chicken, but her hands were covered in blood.

Later, these things she had done were dug up, and they became the reason why Shi Mingwu felt at ease to fall in love with Xiujun. He kissed Xiujun and said on the bed: "Xiujun is the cleanest and kindest woman in the world."

Fu Nanjun covered his ears. Even if he was reborn, he couldn't stop those disgusting sounds from entering his ears.

Every gasp, every intertwined shadows reflected on the window paper, every word of "best" and "than", made her liver and lungs burn and jealousy gnawed at her heart.

Why?

At that time, she wished her soul would be torn apart and her memory would forever remain at the moment of beheading. She wished that Shi Mingwu had failed to escape and died under the executioner's knife together with her and the children!

During the years when her soul wandered, she no longer hated Zhou Shao who wiped out the entire Shi family.

She figured it out.

The Shi family has angered the public and violated the emperor's taboo. No matter who comes to power, the Shi family will be destroyed.

Moreover, it is a fact that the Shi family formed a clique for personal gain and plotted to murder Crown Prince Zhou Yi!

The old emperor probably wanted to kill the Shi family and avenge his son a long time ago, but unfortunately he was old and frail, and had lost control of the court. He might even have given Zhou Shao an oral order to exterminate the Shi family before his death.

As for what Zhou Shao said, that he killed Shi Mingzhu and the entire Shi family for Shi Yao, she didn't believe it at all.

She didn't believe that Zhou Shao didn't understand the importance of her natal family to the queen's position. If he really wanted to do good for Shi Yao, killing Shi Mingzhu would be enough. Why did he massacre the entire Shi family?

How can I allow others to sleep beside my bed? If Shi Mingwu does not voluntarily hand over the military power after Zhou Xu ascends the throne, Zhou Xu will also turn his butcher knife against the Shi family!

"Nanjun...Nanjun!" Shi Mingwu woke up, sat up, opened his sleepy eyes, took his wife's hand, and asked anxiously, "Nanjun, why are you crying?"

Fu Nanjun closed his eyes and endured his touch. Those disgusting sounds and images emerged in his mind uncontrollably.

She concealed the disgust and hatred in her eyes. Everything had not happened yet. She had to protect herself, Lingyun and Tengyun, and she had to rely on the man in front of her.

I cannot transfer my hatred from my previous life onto Shi Mingwu who is totally clueless in front of me.

"I had a nightmare." Her trembling voice finally made a sound, her face buried in Shi Mingwu's arms, her eyes were as cold as spring water and as dark as ink.

Shi Mingwu put his arms around her and rocked her gently, as if coaxing an innocent little girl. He was incredibly gentle: "What nightmare? Tell me. You won't be afraid if you tell me."

Fu Nanjun got goosebumps all over his body - in his previous life, he had done the same thing to comfort Fu Xiujun who had nightmares.

Fu Nanjun tried her best to suppress those images from appearing in her mind, pretending to be afraid, and tremblingly said: "Husband, I dreamed that Mingzhu married the fourth prince Zhou Shao..."

Shi Mingwu smiled when he heard this: "Isn't this a good dream? It seems that deep down in your heart, you also think that Zhuzhu and the Fourth Prince are a good match. This is what we call thinking about during the day and dreaming about at night."
