Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Shen Nanyan helped Aunt Su up from the ground and protected her behind her, thinking quickly of ways to help Aunt Su escape.

At this moment, she really regretted it. She should not have told anyone about the discovery of poisonous clothes. She thought it was Aunt Lan's doing, but she didn't expect that her own mother would be dragged into it.

"Madam, the material and clothes all came from my aunt, but it wasn't untouched by others during this period, so we can't conclude that it was my aunt who poisoned them."

"This dress is either in your aunt's yard or in the old lady's yard. Who do you think the servants in these two yards would do such a thing? I will naturally not implicate you in your aunt's affairs. Go away."

"No, either investigate thoroughly or report to the authorities."

"What a joke! You killed a concubine in the mansion, why would you report it to the authorities? Come, take the fifth young lady away."

The old women received the order and rushed forward to separate Shen Nanyan and Aunt Su. Shen Nanyan held Aunt Su's hand tightly, and the old woman stepped on their hands. Shen Nanyan got angry and wanted to pull out her gun, but her hands were held tightly and she could not move at all.

Aunt Su kept begging Mrs. Lu not to hurt Shen Nanyue, saying that if anything happened, she could just punish her.

Although Mrs. Lu also wanted to take action against Shen Nanyue, she didn't dare to do it openly. Shen Zongyuan valued these children, especially Shen Nanyue who had become more and more to his liking recently, so Mrs. Lu wanted to show her power as the mistress and teach Aunt Su a lesson.

"The matter has not yet been thoroughly investigated, and Madam is going to use torture arbitrarily? Do you have any physical evidence to prove that the poison was administered by my aunt?"

"Your aunt is always by the old lady's side. From the material to the sewing, it was all handled by your aunt. Isn't this enough proof? You don't have to argue with me. If the master knew, he would definitely kill your aunt. Go ahead, this is the evil woman who poisoned the old lady. Don't be soft-hearted, beat her to death."

Mrs. Lu stopped arguing with Shen Nanyue and started the torture directly. No one noticed that before Mrs. Lu started to torture, her maid Cuizhu secretly stuffed something into the boy's hand.

In an instant, the sound of beating boards rang out in the yard, one after another, and blood oozed out of each board. Shen Nanyan was furious, and kicked the maid who was pulling her, knocking her down. Then, without having time to draw her gun, she bit the wrist of another maid. Caifu and Yulan also came up to help desperately, which gave Shen Nanyan a chance to breathe. She took advantage of the gap and ran towards Aunt Su without caring about the stinging pain in her foot. Her thin body suddenly fell on Aunt Su, and the board hit her injured back directly, and it turned red in an instant. But Shen Nanyan didn't care about these, and reached out to untie the rope on Aunt Su, but it was tied too tightly and she couldn't untie it at all.

"Yan... Yan'er, don't worry about your mother, go away, go away..."

Aunt Su's heart was broken, and her screaming voice was broken.

The servant who was beating the woman with the stick paused and looked at Mrs. Lu in the corridor.

Before Mrs. Lu spoke, Shen Lingxi spoke first.

"Keep fighting."

Seeing that Mrs. Lu was smiling, the servant did not hesitate and raised the board and brought it down heavily.

"Madam, Madam, please don't hit Yan'er. She is also a young lady in this mansion and has never been punished like this since she was a child. Please have mercy on her. Yan'er, please go away quickly and don't protect your mother. Yan'er, be obedient..."

But no matter what Aunt Su said, Shen Nanyan just protected Aunt Su tightly and let the board hit her back again and again, even though the pain was so severe that it suffocated her.

In just a cup of tea, Shen Nanyan's back was soaked in blood, and the scarlet blood dripped down the corners of her clothes. Aunt Su cried until her voice was hoarse, and Caifu and Yulan were pinned to the ground by the old woman and unable to move. The yard was full of blood.

"stop!"

Nanny Jiang, who was beside the old lady, came out and roared, making the yard quiet in an instant.

Mrs. Lu turned her head and glanced at Nanny Jiang out of the corner of her eye without saying anything, but she seemed to have thought of something in her mind. However, she was not afraid, after all, the person who poisoned her was Nanny Su.

"The old lady has woken up, please..."

"What's going on here?"

As he spoke, Shen Zongyuan stepped into the yard. Looking at the maid who was pinned to the ground, his face darkened. When he saw the bloody man in the middle of the yard, his eyes became even more confused.

Shen Nanyan and Aunt Su both lowered their heads. He didn't realize who it was, but the bloody appearance made him feel uncomfortable.

"The master is back."

Only then did Lu come down, anxious to take credit from Shen Zongyuan.

"What's going on? Who is it? What did they do wrong to have someone beaten like this?"

"Master, the person who poisoned my mother has been found."

"Who?"

Shen Zongyuan immediately perked up.

"It was Aunt Su. She made two sets of undergarments for Mother, and they were both soaked in oleander juice. It nearly cost Mother her life, so I punished her on behalf of the Master. She was so audacious! She must be..."

"Wait, what did you say? Aunt Su poisoned... poisoned the old lady?"

"Yes, this was discovered by Yan'er."

After Mrs. Lu finished speaking, Shen Zongyuan took a few steps forward and squatted down. Only then could he see clearly the mother and daughter on the stool. Drops of blood fell to the ground. Shen Zongyuan frowned.

"Let's not talk about whether Aunt Su would poison the old lady. Why did you beat Yan'er like this? Come quickly, help the fifth lady up and call... call the doctor."

"I didn't mean to hit her. She was determined to protect Aunt Su. What could I do? Besides, a few beatings wouldn't kill anyone."

"You vicious woman, you vicious woman! Yan'er is already weak, and you... you... I think you really want to beat her to death."

"It was just a few hits, no need to worry. Besides, Aunt Su poisoned the old lady, so she must know that she can't learn those vicious methods from her aunt. Otherwise, who knows how many troubles will arise in this mansion in the future. I am also doing this for the good of the Shen family."

"Vicious! Is there anyone more vicious than you? I'm telling you, but you went to ask for a female doctor, right?"

Shen Zongyuan's mind was in a mess now. Looking at the tied-up Aunt Su, he didn't know whether he should believe it or not. But he was very unhappy about the fact that Lu had beaten Shen Nanyue.

"Since the master is back, please go in with the lady. The old lady is waiting."

"Is mother awake?"

"Yes."

Nanny Jiang lowered her head slightly in response and stood aside to make room for the entrance.

Finally, something reassuring happened. Shen Zongyuan's face lit up with joy and he immediately walked into the house. Lu raised her hand to adjust the hairpin on her head and followed closely behind him.

The old lady was sitting on the bed, her face was no longer pale, but it did not look good, especially when Mrs. Lu came in.

"Mother, you're awake now, but are you still feeling unwell?"

"If I still don't wake up after hearing all this noise, am I dead?"

These words were spoken to Shen Zongyuan, but Mrs. Lu understood that the old lady was talking to her, so she hurried forward with a smile.

"I'm glad mother is awake. My daughter-in-law has already caught the person who poisoned her. We are just waiting for your decision."

"Now you have the final say over my yard?"

The old lady's cold question immediately put Mrs. Lu in an awkward position. Fortunately, there was no one else in the room, and Shen Zongyuan beside her did not speak up to help her. The atmosphere was very awkward for a while.
