Brazilian Pine Nuts

Before the nation's fall, Murong Yu was the prime minister's legitimate daughter. She was surrounded by servants who catered to her every need, born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She was the epitome of a spoiled beauty.

After the nation's demise, she became a concubine to the Northern Lord.

This Northern Lord resented her, loathed her, and didn't like her at all. Yet, she had to endure it all because he held the fate of her entire family in his hands.

However, in the fifth year of being with him, Murong Yu was reborn.

She returned to her radiant youth, where the once all-powerful Northern Lord was now nothing more than a lowly servant in her family's residence.

The future Northern Lord counted the things that Murong Yu did. The young miss had taught him martial arts, educated him, personally made pills to replenish his body, cared for him tenderly, and supported him in every way possible. She had nurtured him into an imposing and dignified figure. 

Unable to repay her kindness, he could only offer himself to her!

Murong Yu, who had only wanted to lean on this future bigshot for support, thought, 'Did I push too hard? Is it too late to regret now?!'


After My Rebirth, I Pampered the Villain Lord

"Do you not know, Rui'er, that you hold the softest place in my heart?" Huo Yuan said as he looked at her deeply.

Murong Rui was naturally pleased with that statement. Still, she insisted that Huo Yuan should go and make amends with Murong Yu, "With the support from Lord Li's household, your path ahead will be much smoother, Yuan."

Although Huo Yuan frowned, he didn't dismiss Murong Rui's good intentions. As for the letters that were leaked to Murong Yu, he didn't care in the least.

However, after reluctantly parting ways with Murong Rui and personally sending her back to her home and returning, he saw his mother, Lady Huo, returning in a carriage.

Lady Huo's expression was already dark, and it grew even darker upon hearing that Murong Rui had just visited. It was as if her face would drip ink.

Returning home with her son and daughter, Lady Huo clenched her teeth and asked, "What exactly did you do? Tell the truth now!"

"Mother, what's wrong?" Huo Yuan inquired.

"How dare you ask me what's wrong?" Lady Huo was furious. "Do you have any idea what rumors are circulating from the House of Lord Li today? Lady Li says that her niece's marriage proposal is not to be taken seriously!"

There was only one niece related to Lord Li, and that's Murong Yu, the eldest daughter born of the legitimate wife in the House of Murong.

Huo Yuan already knew that from Murong Rui, and although he knew that it was likely the intent of Murong Yu's mother, Madam Murong, he remained unfazed.

"Mother, this is great! I'd like to change the engagement to Rui'er," Huo Yuan said.

"I knew something was wrong! That wretched girl must have caused this mess!" Lady Huo was experienced enough to read between the lines. Angrily, she said, "Go to Murong's manor immediately. Meet Murong Yu and clarify the situation between you and that illegitimate girl. Make sure she doesn't misunderstand and nothing is going on between you two!"

"Mother, don't get yourself worked up," Huo Yuan frowned at his mother's rising temper.

"If you don't go now, I might just die from this anger!" Lady Huo exclaimed.

The House of Marquis Huo was already in a precarious position. With the support of prominent families like the House of Lord Li and the House of Murong, and an ambitious son, there was nothing to worry about. But now an illegitimate girl had popped up, making Lady Huo wish she could devour her.

"I'll write a letter to her and arrange a meeting outside for tomorrow," Huo Yuan finally said.

Knowing that it was getting late, Lady Huo said no more.

Indeed, Murong Yu did receive Huo Yuan's letter.

"What a shameless man, still daring to send a letter to you, my lady!" Aman cursed.

Murong Yu chuckled lightly, "We might gain something from this meeting."

The next day, Murong Yu went out to honor the appointment, curious to hear what Huo Yuan had to say. She had, however, underestimated Huo Yuan's audacity.

Perhaps it was because he had always acted high and mighty in front of her, but even when she caught him red-handed with love letters in her possession, he simply said, "It's not what you think between Rui'er and me!"

Aman was the first to scoff at his arrogant demeanor, "My lady, today I've truly seen it all. I've seen shameless people, but never this shameless. Involved with Lady Rui and still daring to show his face before you, my lady!"

Amei, who had also heard of this incident and was indignant for Murong Yu, didn't miss the chance to jump in, "Why has the young Lord Huo come to see Lady Yu? Shouldn't you be visiting Lady Rui instead?!"
