Rebirth: Heaven-defying Queen: Volume 6

By Hui GuNiangDeHouMa

The candle flame flickered on and off, but it couldn't light up the room. It had already been more than a month since she'd been beaten into the cold palace. Everyone knew that her concubine wouldn't have the chance to leave, but Yan Muli still held onto a strand of fantasy.

CHAPTER 501 - DOCTOR

Young Master Tong! Yan Muxue took another small step forward with an aggrieved and injured expression.

Lady Tong was infuriated. Pa! He slammed his hand on the table and said, Your Yan Residence is lying. If I did not come to see for myself today, my son would have married an ugly bastard!

Then wouldn't he become the laughingstock of the entire world?

Matriarch Yan was a little angry. The Yan Muxue that she had met this morning wasn't like this. The matter of Yan Muxue coming to pay respects this morning was indeed very good.

After not seeing her for a few hours, she had become like this. Matriarch Yan couldn't help but feel that there was something fishy going on.

Could it be that Yan Muxue didn't want to get married and purposely caused her face to turn into this appearance?!

But no matter how she looked at it, it didn't seem like she did it herself. Moreover, based on Matriarch He's understanding of Mu Xue, she didn't have the guts to ruin her appearance and reject the marriage.

Grandmother, Mu Xue really didn't mean to do this to herself.

Madam Tong, this old woman can testify that Mu Xue was fine in the morning. Old Lady Yan explained.

You don't need to say anything. If there's nothing wrong, just find a doctor. Lady Tong cast a sidelong glance at Matriarch Yan as she spoke.

Someone come! Go and invite Xi Lun over! " Old Lady Yan instructed.

She was quite at ease with Xi Lun's medical skills. Moreover, Xi Lun was still one of her people. Even if Mu Xue was really sick, he would not spread the news.

Wait! Lady Tong said, I don't trust the doctor your family has raised. I think it's better for me to hire one!

Cui Er! Go and get a doctor to treat Fifth Miss!

Yes sir! A young maid hurriedly ran out.

This domesticated doctor just can't do it. Look at how the treatment for our Fifth Miss is going to turn out. Old Lady Yan, I think it's time to change doctors in your house.

Matriarch Yan gave an awkward smile and said: Xi Lun is not the doctor my Yan Residence has raised. He is the only direct disciple of Doctor Chou's Vengeance from the Fourth Prince's residence.

When Lady Tong heard this, her attitude immediately changed. Even her eyes lit up.

With a smile on her face, she said to Matriarch Yan, How could I have such a fortuitous opportunity to invite the prized disciple of Doctor Chou?

Matriarch Yan didn't say much. She didn't want others to find out about Mu Wan's illness, so she only said, A few days ago, I was poisoned. Even though it was Doctor Chou who cured me, Xi Lun was by my side the entire time.

I see that the child is very clever, very likeable, and very good at medicine. It's just that his background is so pitiful that he has no one to rely on, so I accepted him as my foster grandson.

It just so happens that I only have one grandson, Zhaoxuan. It's very lonely. From time to time, I would bring Xi Lun over to stay for two days to accompany an old granny like me.

Oh! Lady Tong seemed to have come to a realization as she once again started to gather a large amount of Mu Xue.

Although Mu Xue's face was swollen to the point where it looked extremely ugly, her figure was slender and her speech was polite and respectful. She had the appearance of a lady from a noble family and was very gentle and quiet.

With regards to this, Madam Tong was very satisfied. The Tong Family always needed someone like this to support their reputation.

Lady Tong chatted with Matriarch Yan for a while longer before the maidservants hurried back.

The doctor carefully checked Yan Muxue's pulse and said, Reporting to the madame, young miss is fine.

CHAPTER 502 - I DISAGREE

Miss's body is in imbalance of Yin and Yang, the upper part of her body is burning, and the situation on her face is actually a good thing. This is a toxic reaction from the body.

After this face is healed, Miss's body will recover to its original state. You don't need to take any medicine at all.

Please rest assured, Matriarch. The doctor cupped his hands.

Then what about her appearance? Matriarch Yan asked the question that concerned everyone the most.

Please rest assured, Matriarch. The young miss's looks are undamaged. The swelling and pimples on her face will all be gone within half a month. There won't be any damage to her appearance at all.

After hearing what the doctor had said, Matriarch Yan finally felt at ease. Her anxious heart could finally be put at ease.

Matriarch Yan instructed Uncle Gui to lead the doctor to receive his reward.

Matriarch, since that's the case, let's settle this marriage! Mrs. Tong suddenly said.

Since Madam Tong intends to … Before Matriarch Yan could finish, she was interrupted by a voice.

Mom, I don't agree! Tong Zheng shouted.

I don't want to marry an ugly freak as my wife, I don't want mother!

Zheng, didn't you hear what the doctor said just now? The doctor said that as long as it takes half a month, the swelling and pimples will be gone and there won't be any damage to one's appearance. Mrs. Tong explained.

She suddenly wanted to end this marriage. Since Matriarch Yan was able to accept Chou Yan's disciple as her grandson, it meant that the relationship between the Yan Residence and the Fourth Prince's Estate was not that simple.

If he could get to the fourth prince, then the Tong Clan would not have to worry about him in the future.

I don't want it. Even if this matter is resolved, I also don't want it. I will go back on my word! Tong Zhengzhuang shouted loudly.

Who knows if there will be a bunch of pockmarks or something on her face in the future! I've seen his face.

Even if she regains her looks in the future, when I see her, it will be that ugly face of hers.

Mother, I can't eat with this face! Do you really have the heart to watch your son suffer like this everyday!?

Mrs. Tong doted on her youngest son, and her son's request was basically yes.

As her son said this, she also felt that it was a bit difficult for her to answer him.

This …

However, she still wanted to end this marriage. Lady Tong rolled her eyes and said, Old Lady Yan, if we can't become your in-laws, it will be the Tong Family's regret.

Since Fifth Miss can't do it, then your Yan Residence still has Sixth Miss. Fourth Miss can do it as well.

I presume that there are quite a few young mistresses in this house!

This … Matriarch Yan found it difficult to ask.

She saw the thin, hollowed-out body and dark face of the boy, and knew at a glance that he was not in good shape.

If Matriarch Yan didn't especially want to end this marriage, she was more or less afraid that her granddaughter would become a widow soon after.

In addition, the relationship between Han Ying Xue and Han Ying Xue was very close, and they might even become the concubines of the 4th Prince. Zhang Yang knew that he had to participate, and he did not want to mess with Mu Li.

Mu Wan is too young, Mu Li … Matriarch Yan murmured softly.

When Madam Tong saw that Matriarch Yan seemed unwilling to marry her, she spoke rather angrily.

Matriarch, we're going to suffer the consequences this time! Our Tong Family does not wish to marry your Yan Clan. "

Why don't you take a look at the Yan Residence's situation? It's already like this and you still don't know what's good for you!

After hearing what Lady Tong said, Matriarch Yan was slightly displeased. She was about to speak when she saw a person slowly walking over.

Greetings, Grandmother!

CHAPTER 503 - THIS IS GOOD

Mu Ya, why are you here? Matriarch Yan was a little surprised.

It turned out that the person who had come was Yan Muya. Everyone's gaze was attracted by Yan Muya.

Someone just came to inform Mu Ya that Grandmother is looking for me. Mu Ya's voice was very gentle.

Tong Zhengzhuang's eyes widened the moment he saw Yan Muya. He unconsciously stood up and took two steps forward.

Today, Yan Mu Ya was dressed very elegantly. Her face was covered with a thin layer of powder, and her rosy cheeks contrasted sharply with Yan Mu Xue, who had a black and red swelling on her face.

Mom, I want her! Tong Zhengzhao stared at Yan Muya without blinking as he spoke to Lady Tong without even turning his head.

Political court, you're being rude! Lady Tong reminded him.

When Tong Zhengzhuang heard Lady Tong's words, he shut his mouth, which was about to drool, and said with a serious expression, My name is Tong Zheng. Greetings, Miss.

May I ask Miss's name?

Although Yan Muya didn't know what was happening here, she still greeted Tong Zhengguo very politely, This little girl, Yan Muya, greets Young Master Tong.

When Lady Tong saw her son like this, she asked Matriarch Yan, Matriarch, which ladies are these?

This is Third Bro Mu Ya. Matriarch Yan said with a smile.

I think the Third Miss is really a talented person. Since the marriage with the Fifth Miss is over, why don't we have the Third Miss instead?

I wonder if the Third Miss has someone else? asked Mrs. Tong.

None of the granddaughters in the family have any family members. Aside from Mu Wan, who is young, everyone else is preparing to participate. Old Lady Yan explained.

Oh! The way Lady Tong looked at Mu Ya was different.

Such ambition at such a young age. Seems like this Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting is not a problem. Lady Tong praised.

Chao'er, what do you think of this?

Tong Zhengzhuang looked at her until his eyes were wide open. Hearing his mother's question, he nodded and said, This is good, this is good!

Mu Ya, what do you think of Young Master Tong? Old Lady Yan asked.

Grandmother is in charge! Yan Mufu gave a bow. In truth, he had never taken a fancy to Tong Zheng. This person had a head full of scoundrels' eyes, making people uncomfortable upon seeing him.

However, she was not in a position to say yes or no to the orders of her parents.

The matchmaker at the side felt that it was time for her to go on stage, so she stood up and said, Old Lady Yan, Lady Tong, please listen to what my matchmaker has to say.

I think that Third Young Miss and Young Master Tong are a match made in heaven.

Think about it. Originally, Young Master Tong came to get Fifth Miss. Who would have known that Fifth Miss would become like this today? And now, the Third Miss just so happened to appear.

Could it be that this is not the will of the heavens? This is a union made by the heavens.

Lady Tong smiled and said, The matchmaker is right. This is a match made in heaven. Otherwise, why would the one who comes be the third miss?

After thinking for a moment, Matriarch Yan replied, Since that's the case, then let's make this a deal. Let's find a good day to arrange their marriage.

At this time, Yan Muya spoke. She bowed towards Matriarch Yan before bowing towards Lady Tong and Young Master Tong, saying, Muya has something to say. I hope that the elders can hear it and make a decision.

Marriage has always been a matter of the parents and the matchmaker. Mu Ya has no objections and will listen to everything grandmother says.

But the choice is just around the corner. Mu Ya wants to attend the competition before she marries Young Master Tong. If Mu Ya is lucky enough to be chosen, then the glory of the Yan Residence will also be the glory of the Tong Residence.

I don't think Young Master Tong and Lady Tong are in a hurry either.

CHAPTER 504 - PLEASE ASK AUNTIE XIAO

This … Lady Tong hesitated.

I think that's what I meant as well. I think that Madam Tong also wants your Tong Mansion to have a daughter-in-law that only chooses when she's chosen!

Mother! It was obvious that Tong Zheng Chao was unwilling.

Lady Tong made up her mind and kindly consoled him, Chao'er, it's only been a few months. If she won, she'd be chosen. There's light on your face, isn't there?

But I don't want to wait that long! Tong Zheng whispered to his wife.

Look at how anxious that monkey is, it's still not yours after the marriage. Mrs. Tong glared at Tong Zheng.

If you really think well of it, then we'll sign the marriage contract today. At that time, I'm afraid she might run away! Mistress Tong lowered her voice and whispered to Tong Zheng.

That's fine too! Tong Zheng looked at Yan Muya with unwillingness, and said helplessly.

He was not so lacking in manners and could not make things too big and defy his mother's wishes.

Then, Matriarch He, this matter is decided. I'm afraid there might be a change later. Let's bookmark this marriage today!

Today! Matriarch Yan was a little surprised.

Aren't we being a little too hasty today?

For this matter, if you agree, then settle the engagement! Could it be that Matriarch He can't manage the Yan Residence with such a small matter?" Mrs. Tong was somewhat unwilling.

I have to ask her mother about this. Old Lady Yan didn't get angry even when she heard his taunts. She continued to smile as she spoke.

Then call her over and we'll agree on this together. Lady Tong was extremely impatient. She had never been treated like this before. Wherever she went, other people would always curry favor with her.

This … Matriarch Yan was a bit troubled. Xiao Fengzhen was currently in confinement and couldn't go out to meet anyone.

What, even Matriarch Yan can't make such a decision? Then I really do doubt the authenticity of your identity, Matriarch He. Lady Tong began to size up Matriarch Yan.

Go and invite Madam Xiao. Matriarch Yan had no choice but to have her servants invite Xiao Fengzhen over.

Xiao Fengzhen was about to go crazy from being locked up and no one talked to her all day. She also did not know what was happening outside and whether her two daughters were safe or not.

Even the maidservants who came daily to deliver their meals did not speak a word with her. She did not know who had given this order and was extremely vicious.

When Aunt Gui arrived, Xiao Fengzhen was stunned for a moment. She had not expected the matriarch to send her.

Actually, Matriarch He hadn't specifically sent anyone to invite her. It was just that Aunt Gui was afraid that the maidservant might not understand, so she came over herself.

Congratulations, Auntie Xiao! Auntie Xiao is overjoyed! Aunt Gui didn't say much as she entered the room. She spoke of her blessings to Xiao Fengzhen as she spoke.

Xiao Fengzhen was overjoyed. The matriarch is finally willing to let me out!

Has the matter been investigated? It has nothing to do with me anymore?

Aunt Gui smiled and said, Aunt, don't worry. What happened today has nothing to do with what happened before.

Someone came to the manor today to propose marriage to Third Young Miss. If Third Young Miss gets married, then Aunt will have accomplished a great matter in her heart!

This marriage is inevitable, the moment that Aunt comes out is just around the corner!

Mu Ya! Xiao Fengzhen was a little confused. Who wants to propose to Mu Ya?

Lord Tong's second young master. Does Aunt know that Lord Tong is at the second rank of the imperial court, the same rank as Master.

Lord Tong's eldest son is a fifth-grade official. With a father like him here, he will definitely soar in power sooner or later.

Although this Second Young Master Tong is still dressed in plain clothes, it is only because he is still young and has two relatives serving as officials in the imperial government. In the future, his life will still be on par with the clouds.

CHAPTER 505 - A CONCUBINE IS A CONCUBINE

When Xiao Fengzhen heard this, she was overjoyed. She excitedly asked, Then I, Mu Ya, will marry …

Even though Xiao Fengzhen did not finish her sentence, Aunty Gui understood the meaning behind her words. What she meant was that Mu Ya's identity after marrying Mu Ru Yue was completely different from that of a concubine.

Seeing Lu Mengshu and her, she knew that Matriarch Yan was pampering her. Even if she couldn't surpass Lu Mengshu, she still had to be controlled.

Aunt Gui smiled and said, Why don't you say that this young mistress is overjoyed? This young master has taken a fancy to Third Young Miss and does not mind the fact that she is a concubine at all.

Our third young miss will be the head mother after marrying, where will the main wife be!

Then … That... This... This …" Xiao Fengzhen was extremely excited as she spoke incoherently.

After circling around, she took out a silver ingot from her sleeve and placed it in Auntie Gui's hands. Thank you Auntie for coming to tell me this. Just treat this as inviting Auntie for a cup of tea. Auntie, don't think it's too little!

Aunt Gui smiled and pushed the silver back to Xiao Fengzhen. Xiao Fengzhen was slightly surprised, Aunt, what is the meaning of this?

I don't dare to accept this favor without merit. Today, I'm only here on behalf of the matriarch to invite aunt to come to the Enlightenment Hall.

Let's discuss the marriage between Third Miss and Young Master Tong.

Auntie, please hurry up! After saying that, Auntie Gui made a gesture of please.

Xiao Fengzhen touched the headdress on her head and said, Auntie, please wait for me for a moment. I'm going to get dressed.

Esteemed wangfei is already elegant enough, not to mention that it wouldn't be good to keep Matriarch He and Madam Tong waiting for too long.

Really!? Then what about my clothes? Xiao Fengzhen lowered her head to look at the purple dress she was wearing.

It's extremely suitable for concubine. Even if others hadn't mentioned it, everyone would have thought that the concubine was the legal wife! Auntie Gui praised.

Xiao Fengzhen was being confined. She was not in the mood to dress up, so she wore fewer accessories than usual. Her makeup was much lighter than usual.

However, Aunt Gui instead felt that Xiao Fengzhen looked much more comfortable than she usually did.

While Xiao Fengzhen and Aunt Gui were busy understanding the situation, Lady Tong and Old Lady Yan had said something and were laughing heartily.

Fengzhen greets mother. Due to the presence of outsiders, Xiao Fengzhen became very well-mannered.

This is Lady Tong. Old Lady Yan introduced him.

Greetings, Lady Tong. Xiao Fengzhen greeted Lady Tong.

Lady Tong, this is Mu Ya's mother.

En! Mistress Tong looked Xiao Fengzhen up and down before slightly nodding her head to indicate that she understood.

Meng Shu greets mother. As soon as Lu Mengshu arrived, she gracefully bowed towards Matriarch Yan.

Madam Tong, this is Mu Ya's mother. Seeing that Lu Mengshu had arrived, Matriarch He hurriedly introduced him.

Since he had invited Xiao Fengzhen, he couldn't possibly not invite Lu Mengshu. Otherwise, it would be too disrespectful to have only one concubine come to meet Lu Mengshu's legal wife.

No matter how much a concubine was pampered, a concubine was still a concubine and would never be able to show her face.

Lady Tong quickly pulled on Lu Mengshu's hand and said in a large amount, I like my little sister the moment I see her. It seems like our family is settled today.

Lu Mengshu also smiled and said, I also really like my sister when I see her!

"I think big sister will definitely be a good mother-in-law. If we, Mu
