Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Shen Zongyuan placed Aunt Su on the couch, reached out and tugged at her clothes, and glanced at Aunt Su's back. Seeing the bloody back, Shen Zongyuan himself felt his scalp tingling.

He began to regret not standing up for Aunt Su in the first place. Now, whatever he did seemed a little artificial.

"The Lu family has gone too far."

"Master, do you believe me?"

"I saw everything you did to the old lady. If I were in the mansion today, I would never let you suffer like this. Blame me for coming back too late and causing you and Yan'er to suffer."

"I'm fine, but Yan'er's injuries are even worse than mine. She's an unmarried girl, and I don't know if she'll be left with scars. What will I do in the future?"

"Don't worry about this. Yan'er is my daughter. I will never let her down. I have already given the order to give you the five shops and a farm under my name. The housekeeper will send them to you after they are completed. Don't refuse. I am sorry that you have been wronged by this matter, but giving these to you will also make me feel at ease."

Of course Shen Zongyuan felt guilty. This matter was almost certain to be related to Aunt Lan, and Aunt Su was taking the blame for Aunt Lan. He couldn't make a big deal about it, so he could only compensate Aunt Su privately.

"I don't care about these things. As long as the master and the old lady trust me, that's all that matters."

"I trust you."

After comforting Aunt Su, Shen Zongyuan turned around and went to see Shen Nanyan, but Shen Nanyan was already weak and now she was injured. She fell into a coma and never woke up. As a girl tends to avoid her father when she grows up, it was not convenient for Shen Zongyuan to check Shen Nanyan's injuries and he could only ask a few questions.

Caifu burst into tears while replying to Shen Zongyuan, and was about to accuse Lu in person. After Shen Zongyuan had someone put the things down, he went to Aunt Su's room and never left.

On the other side, Aunt Su was unhappy. After hearing the news from Qingyun Pavilion in the evening, she not only smashed the teacup, but also beat several servants. She paced back and forth in the room and couldn't calm down. Nanny Hai tried to comfort her carefully, fearing that she would get hurt by her anger.

"That dress was clearly made by her, so why is the master still staying in her courtyard? He was never like this before. Now he's been bewitched by a vixen and isn't even angry when she makes such a big mistake."

"My dear aunt, you must not say this. Something happened in Luxiangzhai today, and we didn't go there. You can't say anything now. If the master comes, you have to say you are not feeling well and ask what happened in the courtyard. You must not get angry with the master."

Nanny Hai’s words made Aunt Lan feel even more aggrieved. She was angry but couldn’t ask or speak. Did she think she was stupid?

"Mrs. Su is usually very quiet, but I didn't expect that she is actually very resourceful. They say that a biting dog doesn't bark, and I think she is the dog that bites."

"Whether she bites or not is not something Aunt Lan should worry about right now. After you give birth to this baby in your belly, the Shen family will not let Aunt Lan do whatever she wants."

The master and servant were talking when Shen Yunyi appeared at the door. When Aunt Lan saw him, she looked a little more charming, but Nanny Hai beside her was panicked. She hurried to the door, glanced at Qiu Tao with a sidelong glance, her face very angry, then walked out, closed the door, and stood with Qiu Tao.

"Everyone has entered the house, but they didn't even tell me. What if it happens to the master?"

"It was the eldest son who forbade us to report it."

"Then can't you raise your voice so that everyone in the house can hear you? You have to know that if the master finds out about this, we will all lose our heads. Your big head will be of no use at all."

Qiutou knew she had done something wrong and didn't dare to say anything back. She just stood silently in the corridor, not daring to move a step.

She couldn't influence her master's affairs, but she didn't want to die in this house, so she could only depend on her master. However, this matter was of no trivial importance, and she was terrified every time she thought of it.

After midnight, Wu You looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he dared to come out and give Shen Nanyan an injection of special medicine. Shen Nanyan was still asleep at this time, so Wu You didn't do anything else and could only leave.

Three days later, Shen Nanyan's condition improved a little, but she didn't dare to get up. If she moved, her back would be soaked with blood. So Caifu and Yuan Ma took turns serving her and didn't dare to slack off at all. During this period, Yin Ma came several times with things. Shen Nanyan understood that Yin Ma came not only to see her, but also wanted her to go and treat the old lady. But how could she go in her current condition?

Anyway, the old lady's life is not in danger, it will just take a little longer. This is a good opportunity for the old lady and Shen Zongyuan to see the reality clearly. If it weren't for me, the old lady would definitely die. They should also change their attitude towards Aunt Su and themselves in the future.

Lying on the couch all day gave Shen Nanyan a lot of time to think. After thinking for a long time, Shen Nanyan wrote a letter and asked Caifu to deliver it personally to her cousin Su Xinyuan.

Although Su Xinyuan was not well educated, he moved around everywhere every day, became more and more smooth in dealing with people, got to know more and more people, had a wide network of contacts, and was not short of money. Now he could do anything with ease.

Since Shen Zongyuan would not punish Lu on behalf of Aunt Su, Shen Nanyue would do it herself. It was something that had to be done sooner or later anyway.

The autumn rain was drizzling and the weather was getting cooler. Yue Hanzhou entered the city amidst the welcome of the people. Dressed in military uniform, he looked a little darker, but also had a bit more of a general's domineering air. The people on both sides of the street were smiling happily, and many women were secretly attracted to him.

At this time, Shen Nanyan was able to get out of bed and walk around a little. Nanny Yuan was changing her dressing. Looking at Shen Nanyan's back covered with wounds, Nanny Yuan felt heartbroken.

"Miss, Miss, General Yue has returned to the capital, and the people are welcoming him in the streets. It's very lively. It's a pity that Miss was injured, otherwise we could go and see him. I miss Baiweizhai's roast chicken."

"What...hiss..."

Suddenly hearing the news that Yue Hanzhou had returned, Shen Nanyan turned around, and the small bamboo stick in Yuan Ma's hand suddenly poked the wound. The wound that had just scabbed opened again and turned red in an instant. The bright red blood flowed down her back and into her underwear.

"Miss...this...what should I do? Caifu, you silly girl, you...here...quickly bring me a handkerchief."

The room was in chaos in an instant. Seeing so much blood, Caifu was scared and hurriedly reached for a handkerchief.

"Wait wait... Caifu, that Yue...hiss...Hanzhou, has Yue Hanzhou returned to Beijing?"

"Yes... yes, Miss... let's not talk about this for now. So much blood... is all my fault."

"How could it be so fast? Didn't we stop him? Bastard... he's really lucky!"

"Miss, please don't move! Ouch! What should I do? The wound that just scabbed over has suddenly split open!"

Nanny Yuan was heartbroken. The handkerchief in her hand was already stained with blood. She was sweating profusely in anxiety. She didn't know where to wipe first, and she didn't dare to use too much force for fear of making the tear worse.

Shen Nanyan seemed not to feel any pain. She lay on the pillow, feeling regretful.

Before Yue Hanzhou went on the expedition, she had asked Wu You to arrange for the little ghost to cause trouble at the border, including sending his intelligence to the enemy country, otherwise how could he be defeated again and again. She thought that this battle would not end so soon, but who would have thought that he would actually succeed.
