Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

The next day, Shen Nanyan went to the inn again and knocked on the door. The one who opened the door was a cold-looking man. Although he was only in his early twenties, he had a firmness and indifference that was inconsistent with his age. However, compared with yesterday, he looked more like a normal person.

Seeing Shen Nanyan outside the door, the man bent down slightly and invited her in. The room was very tidy and the bed was made as if no one had slept in it.

"Did you have a good rest last night?"

"Thank you, Miss. I'm doing fine."

The man used the word "subordinates", which made Shen Nanyan imagine his identity.

"What's your name? Where did you work before?"

"My lady has bought me, so my name will be chosen by her. What happened before is in the past and is unimportant. I can guarantee one thing: no matter when or where, I will protect you with my life."

"Okay, then I'll call you...Wei Ze, how about that?"

"Thank you, miss."

"How's your martial arts?"

"Don't worry about ordinary people, my subordinates can handle it."

"Well, you won't go back with me today. Tomorrow, stay outside the city and quietly capture a man named Wang Shutai and bring him here. Then, after dark, go to the west gate of the Shen family's residence. Someone will be there to pick you up. Just follow him into the mansion."

After she finished speaking, Shen Nanyan glanced at Caifu. Caifu handed two pieces of paper to Wei Ze. After opening them, one was a portrait of Wang Shutai, and the other was a regional map of Shangjing City, with the location of the Shen Mansion marked. Because no one knew how much Wei Ze knew about Shangjing, it was better to be prepared.

After leaving the inn, Shen Nanyue took Caifu to stroll around the street for half a day, mainly to see if there was any business that could be done. Among the three of them, mother and son, Mrs. Lu gave Shen Yunzhi the most silver, but most of it was forced to be spent on brothels. In fact, he didn't have many copper coins on him, so he had to rely on Mrs. Lu to support himself.

That night, Shen Nanyan went to see Aunt Su again and learned that she owned two shops. Shen Nanyan began to have some ideas. She didn't have much money, so it would be best to have a ready-made shop. However, after all, the shop was related to the Shen family. She was afraid of disputes in the future, so she had to think of a safe way.

"Otherwise, I still have a little money here. You can use it to buy a small shop. It should be enough. The shop I have is given by your father. It is inevitable that he will not take it back in the future. Then we will lose more than we gain."

"No need, mother. Let's do a fake deal. You sell the shop to someone else. That way, you won't have any connection with the Shen family."

"Is this okay? If your father finds out..."

"The mistress treated me harshly, and my mother was penniless. She had no other choice but to sell the shop. My father will feel sorry for her when the time comes."

"My Yan'er is still smart."

"Mother, it's not just your daughter who's working hard. Mother also needs to win Father's heart. During this period, don't say a word to the maids in this yard to control them. Let them run wild. It's only when the pigs are fattened that we can slaughter them for the New Year."

Aunt Su naturally understood what her daughter said. These stubborn servants never took her words seriously. If she continued to indulge them, they would only become worse. Her daughter was right. Instead of restricting them, it would be better to deal with them thoroughly. However, she had not thought of this method yet. Mrs. Lu would definitely not be able to do it. It would have to be Shen Zongyuan or the old lady who could do it.

The mother and daughter talked until very late, and Shen Nanyan returned to her own yard. She pretended not to notice the disrespect shown by the maids and was so sleepy that she went to bed and fell asleep.

In her dreams, things from her past life kept appearing, especially the scene of the child being taken out and hacked to death by Yue Hanzhou and Shen Lingxi. Shen Nanyan woke up several times and fell into a deep sleep only when it was dawn.

It was not until the afternoon that Shen Nanyue was awakened by a loud noise. She frowned, turned over, hid herself in the quilt, and fell asleep again.

But before long, Chunlan woke Shen Nanyue up.

"Fifth Miss, the Second Young Master is here and clamoring to see you. We can't stop him, so you should go and see him."

"Get out."

"Miss Fifth."

Chunlan stood there with a look of disdain on her face and did not leave, as if she was the master.

Seeing this, Shen Nanyan turned over and got up. Chunlan didn't even lift a finger and didn't take Shen Nanyan seriously at all. She thought Shen Nanyan was still the brainless and delicate lady as before, and Shen Nanyan would listen to whatever she said.

Shen Nanyan stood up and walked to the table. She stretched out her hand and swept everything on the table to the ground. The sound of the teacups and teapots breaking was particularly pleasant. Chunlan's face changed immediately and she started to lecture her.

"Fifth Miss, you..."

"Caifu, save me... save me quickly..."

The next second, Shen Nanyan shrank into the corner, and soon Caifu ran in, followed by Shen Yunzhi.

"Miss, little...Miss, how are you?"

"Yan'er, what's wrong? Don't cry, don't cry, brother is here."

Although Shen Yunzhi is not talented, he still feels sorry for his sister. At this moment, he is holding his sister in his arms, his eyes full of love.

"Sister Chunlan, I will definitely not stay in bed next time. Sister Chunlan, please don't hit Yan'er. Yan'er is in so much pain and so scared..."

Shen Nanyan cried pitifully, and the fragility of a little girl was engraved in her bones. In her previous life, her elder sister Shen Lingxi and second sister Shen Rongying were both so delicate, which attracted men to willingly do bad things for them. It's time to learn from these methods.

"Fifth Miss, please do not slander me with empty words. How dare I bully my master? You are wronging me."

"Of course not! The meals sent by the kitchen every day are picked out by you guys before being delivered to the young lady. The young lady has never even seen the snacks or tea. You always steal the young lady's jewelry and even speak ill of her in private. The young lady is just too young, so you evil slaves bully her. Second Master, you must stand up for the young lady."

Caifu is a protective person. She has wanted to say these words for a long time, but there is no one in the courtyard who can take charge, so she finally spoke out in front of the second young master today. After all, he is a male in the Shen family and can always say something.

"Caifu, don't talk nonsense. How could we be disrespectful to the young lady? Any delicious food or fun things were always sent to the young lady first. Miss, tell me, when did this servant bully you? I worked so hard, taking care of you day and night. Even if I didn't do anything meritorious, I did work hard. The young lady can't be deceived by this wild girl Caifu. If the lady hears these words, she will beat me to death. I don't accept it."

"Chunlan, do you dare to let the Second Young Master search your room and see how many good things are in your room and in the other maids' rooms?"

"You... Caifu, we are sisters, why are you slandering me?"

Chunlan did not respond to Caifu's words. Of course, she couldn't let anyone search her room. Although her room was small, it was more luxurious than Shen Nanyue's room, not to mention all the good things in the cabinet.

"Caifu dare not call herself a sister with a slave like you who bullies her master."

Normally, Caifu was unwilling to join forces with them, so she was often bullied by them. Now that her master has changed, Caifu is willing to give it her all.
