Rebirth of the Great Favor

Liu Yue felt that his Prince Xuan seemed to have changed his personality. He didn’t care about Shen Qi before. He only favored Su Lianxue alone. What Su Lianxue did, Liu Yue didn’t know how much Shen Zhonghua knew, but Liu Yue knew that Su Lianxue had done many things to Shen Qi and Shen Zhonghua turned a blind eye.

Why did wangye’s personality suddenly change? Liu Yue didn’t understand, neither did Leng Xing. Speaking of which, if Wangye knew Shen Qi was loyal to him so he was good to her, then the two of them were equally loyal to wangye too. Why didn’t Wangye let his two brothers live in Fanghua Garden too? Moreover, Wangye was so anxious to ascertain Shen Qi’s past history and even used his special commander’s official affairs under the dark secret faction?

Although they didn’t expect Shen Qi to actually be the young miss of the general, the general was obviously hostile to wangye. Wangye not only had an abnormal attitude of tolerance but even when he heard that Madam Su took Shen Qi out to buy things, he also followed, tapping like a cat behind their dark guard.

Su’s residence was naturally wealthy and had a generous shot. No matter what kind of jewelry, hair ornaments, or silk satins, mother Su had the person wrap it up for Shen Qi with a wave of her hand. However, Shen Zhonghua noticed the hairpin Shen Qi liked when her gaze stopped in a flash somewhere. It really wasn’t the expensive, precious hairpin in Zhenlong Pavilion. Shen Qi didn’t open her mouth to ask for it. She hid her emotions very well. Mother Su also didn’t pay attention, but Shen Zhonghua noticed it.

After mother Su pulled Shen Qi’s hand and left, he walked over and bought the hairpin thinking about putting it on Shen Qi himself. He knew maybe this opportunity wouldn’t be available again in a short term, but like a young, impatient child, he couldn’t wait.

As the day was gradually darkening, mother Su led her daughter to the carriage and returned to the general’s residence. After Shen Zhonghua followed them out of the restaurant, he returned to Prince Xuan’s palace.

In the study, Liu Yue saw Shen Zhonghua staring at the newly bought hairpin while dazed under the light and tentatively asked: “Wangye, today occurring, Miss Qi...... No, it’s Miss Su. She was...... was designed by Xue-er only to be stranded outside. You......”

Liu Yue wanted to ask Shen Zhonghua what he intended to do with Su Lianxue. After all, in these years, he and Shen Qi had served Shen Zhonghua together. They were going through life and death at the same time. He’d regarded her as a close younger sister. He’d ask like this because he knew Su Lianxue had been causing endless trouble for Shen Qi when she was staying in the prince’s palace. He felt sorry for Shen Qi, cared about her, and hoped that Shen Zhonghua could give Shen Qi fairness at the bottom of his heart. Just like he found her identity and corrected her name for her.

No, it wasn’t Shen Qi. She was no longer Shen Qi. It was Tan Ning, Su Tanning. In the future, her life would be as beautiful as this name.

Shen Zhonghua’s hand holding the hairpin suddenly tightened. His eyes also became malicious.

It wasn’t that he didn’t deal with Su Lianxue, but what Su Lianxue today was still a member of the general family. Great General Su didn’t believe the words of mother Qiu’s one-sided story so he wanted to verify it himself before he was willing to deal with Su Lianxue. Shen Zhonghua looked at his Qiqi’s share and also the general’s share as the family of Qiqi’s mother so he let her stay there temporarily for a few days.

However, the thought that Su Lianxue caused his Qiqi to fall out and even replaced Qiqi’s identity. Because of Su Lianxue, the person he had been thinking and wanting to be good to her was by his side but he didn’t know. Shen Zhonghua hated being unable to crush Su Lianxue into dust right away.

Thinking of Qiqi’s miserable eyes of the previous life, that gorgeous and beautiful red wedding dress. Shen Zhonghua’s heart was in intense pain. It was he who forced her to death, the knife he handed her. He clearly wanted to pamper her, protect her, and love her for a lifetime, but he let her end up decapitated and ended with a heart cold.

Leng Xing and Liu Yue saw Shen Zhonghua wasn’t right and no longer spoke. They quietly retreated and closed the door.

They knew Wangye needed to be alone at this time.

Leng Xing and Liu Yue were a few years older than Shen Qi and have been with Shen Zhonghua since they were young. Naturally, they knew the reason why Wangye would indulge Su Lianxue like that. It was only because he thought Su Lianxue was the little girl at that time.

At that time, Shen Zhonghua’s mother Noble Lady Hui was framed by others and was beaten into the cold palace. It wasn’t long before the news came out that she committed suicide. Saying that she committed suicide but she was actually murdered. At that time, he was only seven years old. Since childhood in Prince Xuan’s palace, he was raised outside the palace by the emperor’s imperial decree because he was said to be an “evil star” by the Qin Tianjian.

(T/N: Qin Tianjian is an official agency (equivalent to the National Observatory). The so-called observation refers to observing the sun, the moon, the stars, the wind and clouds, and the complexion according to the specified date.)

When Shen Zhonghua, who was not allowed to enter the palace if not summoned, knew about the death of his birth mother it was precisely the warm and bustling noise and excitement of the human world when the whole family celebrated and reunited on the lunar New Year’s Eve night.

Prince Xuan’s palace was cold and deserted. Liu Yue didn’t pay attention so Shen Zhonghua ran out. The 7-years-old was also a child no longer in favor. He had never been out of any door alone nor the concept of silver. Not to mention, there were many lively people in the lantern market on the lunar New Year’s Eve so little Shen Zhonghua naturally lost his way.

Then later, at the gate of the general’s residence, he met a combed two buns delicate little girl with porcelain like skin. She was waiting for her beloved older brother to carry her around, go to the lantern market, watched fireworks, and set off firecrackers. She probably saw him crying so she spoke to him. Her voice was very soft, very glutinous as she asked him: “Little older brother, are you separated from your family?”

Yes, his family separated. Little Shen Zhonghua cried even more.

The little girl walked up to his side and asked him with concern: “Don’t cry. Where do you live? I’ll ask my older brother to take you home.”

Little Shen Zhonghua thought his biological mother was dead and he had no home. Prince Xuan’s palace wasn’t his home, but a magnificent prison.

“Don’t cry!” The little girl said. She took out her own handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped his tears for him. It was the first time someone else got so close to him except for Liu Yue and Leng Xing. It wasn’t the respect of identity, but a genuine and sincere concern. Little Shen Zhonghua stared at her in a daze. He saw her take out another red packet from her chest and stuff it to him, saying: “This is the New Year’s money that my third older brother just gave me. It’s the first New Year’s gift money that I received this year. I am very happy!”

She gave him the money wrapped in red as a gift and said: “Now I give the New Year’s money to you. You should be happy too!”

Now we know ML is 7 years old and FL is 4 years old! That is ML is 3 years older than FL and it’s also the first and last time of meeting her before she was sold!
