Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

She thought that if he was not allowed to win the battle, he would have no chance to rise to prominence. She did not expect that changing Yue Hanzhou's life trajectory would not be so easy. However, Shen Nanyue was not discouraged. There was a long way to go. Success on the battlefield but failure in love could make him upset and lose opportunities. The first person Shen Nanyue thought of was Yue Hanzhou's fiancée Shen Rongying.

The two of them were just getting together, there was no real love between them. As long as they took advantage of each other too much, there would always be chaos. As long as the matter was big enough, even if the emperor wanted to use him, he would probably have to think twice.

Nanny Yuan and Caifu finally stopped the bleeding on Shen Nanyan's back. After applying the medicine, they repeatedly warned Shen Nanyan not to move. At this time, Aunt Su came into the room.

"Yan'er, are you feeling better today?"

"Mom, I...hiss..."

"Don't move, don't move. Stay still. If you move, the wound will open again."

Caifu hurriedly brought a stool and Aunt Su sat down beside Shen Nanyue's bed.

"My daughter is fine, how is my mother's injury?"

"Thanks to you for protecting me, I didn't get hurt too much. Plus with the medicine you gave me, I feel much better now."

Shen Nanyan only gave the medicine to Aunt Su, but did not use it herself. She deliberately let her injuries heal more slowly so that Shen Zongyuan and the old lady would know how serious her injuries were. If her injuries did not heal, the old lady's poison would not be cured in a short time, and their resentment towards the Lu family would be even deeper.

Some things are accumulated slowly through such small things and subtle influences. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to bring her down because of Lu's family.

"That's good. Now that Mom is well, she doesn't have to wait on the old lady in her room anymore."

"Well...after all, the old lady didn't doubt me, and your father also said he believed me."

"Then was this grievance suffered in vain?"

"Your father has already compensated us. He gave us five shops and a farm. The old lady also sent a lot of supplements."

"Who cares about those shops? If you want them, I'll buy them for you. Daddy is really good at it. He's made all our suffering go to waste just by buying those shops. Do you know who she's protecting?"

"Who? Mother doesn't quite understand what you're talking about."

Sometimes Shen Nanyan would doubt whether her mother was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. She obviously came from a poor family, but she was simple and not as smart as her aunt.

"First of all, this definitely wasn't done by Mrs. Lu, otherwise she wouldn't be so obsessed with finding the murderer. Even Nanny Yin was beaten with a stick. Nanny Yin was an old lady by Grandmother's side, and even Father had to give her some face. Secondly, Mother didn't do it either, so who else could have done it?"

"That...Lan...but she never showed up from beginning to end!"

"Do I have to be present to kill someone?"

"this…"

Aunt Su still hasn't figured out what happened, and she even wants to believe that it was just an accident.

"Where did mother get the material for that dress?"

"Before summer even started, the housekeeper said the cloth shop had sent some material for the various courtyards to choose from. I randomly selected a few pieces, including the soft gauze. I had intended to make you a set of underwear, but since you weren't home, I gave them all to the old lady."

"From that time on, Mom has fallen into someone else's trap."

"But I chose that cloth. Could she have known in advance which one I would choose?"

"Mother always likes light and elegant colors, so she only chooses mild and plain fabrics to poison. Did Aunt Lan choose the fabric after you?"

"Correct."

"Maybe there's more than just that one that's poisonous, but the others have already been taken and destroyed."

"how do you know?"

"It's such a serious matter. Grandma's life is almost gone. But now, look at Daddy. Is he still trying to find out who the murderer is? He doesn't dare to pursue it because he's afraid that the person will be exposed and he won't be able to solve the problem. After all, she's pregnant now. It's not right to beat her or kick her out. So he can only let it go like this."

"That's right. Aunt Lan is pregnant with the old lady's grandson. No matter how much the old lady hates it, she has to endure it for the sake of her grandson. But what does this have to do with whether I go to the old lady's room or not?"

"Mom, we can't be completely without temper, otherwise we will be dragged out to take the blame next time something like this happens. My daughter is afraid of pain."

Shen Nanyan's words "I'm afraid of pain" immediately woke Aunt Su up.

"Yes, no... I can't. I understand, I understand. It's all my fault for being too weak. I made you suffer with me."

"It's okay. This time, I wasn't at home, so the villain succeeded. From now on, I will be by your side, and nothing will happen."

"You and your brother are both good children. I have you all... By the way, Yue Hanzhou has returned to Beijing, so why hasn't your brother come back yet? But the war isn't over yet?"

Aunt Su suddenly thought of Shen Yunzhi from the trivial matters in the mansion. She came to Shen Nanyue's yard just to talk about this. Yue Hanzhou's return to Beijing made her miss her son especially.

"It should be soon. It's autumn now. It's okay, don't worry, Mom."

Aunt Su felt relieved for half a day. The tired Shen Nanyue fell asleep on the pillow before Aunt Su left. Aunt Su gently lifted the clothes on her daughter's back and took a look, and tears welled up in her eyes.

After returning to the courtyard, he asked people to send a lot of things over, and also ordered people to close the courtyard door early, turn off the lights and rest. So when Shen Zongyuan came over at night, Qingyun Pavilion was pitch black, without even a light. Shen Zongyuan was puzzled and asked someone to knock on the door. The old woman said that Aunt Su was not feeling well and had gone to bed early. Shen Zongyuan had no choice but to return to his own courtyard.

This went on for several days. Shen Zongyuan was rejected every time he went to Aunt Su's courtyard. But over the past few months, Shen Zongyuan had long been accustomed to Aunt Su preparing meals for him every day. Now he was suddenly turned away and couldn't even see her. Naturally, he was very depressed.

So today, before it got dark, he arrived at Aunt Su's courtyard early. When he arrived, Aunt Su was having dinner. When she saw Shen Zongyuan coming, she asked someone to serve him tea, but did not invite him to have dinner with them.

Shen Zongyuan looked at Aunt Su who was dining alone, and his heart was full of doubts. He tried to find a reason to talk to Aunt Su, but Aunt Su was always indifferent.

"The old lady said you haven't been to her yard these days, but you're still not feeling well?"

"I'm fine now, thanks to Yan'er's medicine."

"It's strange, you're all healed, but her wound isn't."

"Master said this because he didn't see how badly Yan'er was injured. I don't know why that servant was so cruel. He knew that Yan'er was a young lady in this mansion, but he still attacked her so ruthlessly. I almost suspect that he is Madam's confidant."

As she spoke, Aunt Su's eyes were blurred with tears. She simply dropped her chopsticks and started wiping her tears. Her words alerted Shen Zongyuan. He looked up at his follower Jin An, who nodded and quietly retreated.

Only then did Shen Zongyuan sit down next to Aunt Su, hold her hand, and gently wipe her tears.

"That's not what I meant. I just feel bad for our daughter. Seeing that she hasn't recovered yet, I'm worried and confused. Don't cry."

Of the three women in the mansion, only Aunt Su is willing to come to him. At this time, Aunt Su is no longer the same as before in his heart, so he is so patient, otherwise he would have left long ago.
