Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

In an instant, Shen Lingxi panicked. She looked around but no one could help her. Instead, her maid Juhua stood up timidly, but before she could get close to Shen Lingxi, she was blocked by Princess Chunxi's people. Juhua didn't dare to move forward and had to shrink in the corner.

Seeing this, Shen Lingxi immediately turned to look at Shen Nanyan.

"Shen... Yan'er, I'm your sister. Are you just...going to just watch me get beaten? Say something!"

Shen Nanyan looked up, her beautiful eyes staring at her without blinking, her eyes full of provocation.

"Princess, please forgive me. I am the legitimate daughter of the family and have always been like this. I didn't mean to be disrespectful to you."

"Always like this? It seems you've been so arrogant for a while now. So today, I, the princess, will teach you a lesson about your arrogance and domineering attitude. I will not stop until I see blood."

"Princess, please have mercy on me. I didn't mean to disrespect the royal family. I just made a mistake. I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I hope you will give me a chance..."

"beat."

"Snapped……"

Princess Chunxi's people did not dare to delay any longer. They pinched Shen Lingxi's chin, raised their hands high and slapped her. In an instant, a clear palm print appeared on Shen Lingxi's little face.

"Princess, please spare my life, Princess..."

"Snapped!"

Before Shen Lingxi could even beg for mercy, the slaps fell on her face one after another. In just a cup of tea, her cheeks were already red and blood was oozing from the corners of her lips, but the slaps did not stop. Seeing this, Juhua hurriedly shrank her body and wanted to sneak out to find Mrs. Lu, but Nanny Yuan had already stared at her. Her burly body stood directly at the door, blocking it tightly.

Another stick of incense passed before Princess Chunxi waved her hand to ask people to stop. At this time, Shen Lingxi was completely unrecognizable. There was no trace of her former delicate face. There was blood dripping on her chest, and she was drowsy.

When the servant let go of her hand, she collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud. Juhua glanced at Princess Chunxi but didn't dare to step forward. What was revealed in her eyes was not worry, but fear.

"Miss Shen, you disrespected the royal family today, and this princess is only teaching you a lesson. You must remember today's lesson. If you do it again, this princess will have your legs broken. If you don't know respect for others, you won't have to leave the house again. Remember?"

Shen Lingxi, who was lying on the ground, didn't even have the strength to speak. She just lay on the ground and let her tears and blood drip. But if she didn't answer the princess's questions, wouldn't that be disrespecting the princess?

As a result, the princess's maid disagreed and walked over and stepped on Shen Lingxi's slender jade fingers.

"The princess asked, why didn't you answer? But you're not convinced?"

"No... no no no... tell me, I will tell you, your servant... your servant will remember this and will not dare to forget it."

"Hmph... I hope you can remember this. Otherwise, I'll never know what excuse to give you next time. Drag him out, Sister Yan'er. I'm so sorry for soiling your little courtyard."

"My princess, you are too polite. It's a rare occasion for you to come to my Shen family. I have made you suffer like this. I hope you won't blame me."

During the official tug-of-war between Shen Nanyan and Princess Chunxi, Shen Lingxi was dragged out like a rag, and the servants hurried in to wipe the blood off the ground.

"Today we are going to teach them a lesson so that they won't dare bully you again."

"Thank you, Princess."

"What are you thanking me for? Okay, take good care of yourself. I'll come see you again in two days."

After completing the task assigned by Lu Jiusi, Princess Chunxi did not delay Shen Nanyan's rest any longer. She stood up and was about to leave. She pressed Shen Nanyan down on the chair and told her not to move. She led her people out of the yard and left in a swagger.

However, she didn't expect that before she even left the Shen family's gate, she met the aggressive Lu. Princess Chunxi naturally didn't give her a good face and retorted her with a few words. Lu was determined to do anything for her daughter and said that she would go to the palace to file a complaint, which made Princess Chunxi laugh.

"It's still early, Madam Shen, there's still time for you to go. If you don't know how to get to the Imperial Study, I'll have someone show you the way."

"You...are lawless, absolutely lawless..."

Princess Chunxi didn't bother to pay attention to her. She turned and left while Lu covered her chest and trembled with anger.

After Shen Zongyuan heard about this, he first went to see Shen Lingxi who was bedridden, listened to Lu's crying for a while, and then went to Shen Nanyue's yard with a dark face.

Aunt Su had long thought that this matter would inevitably implicate her daughter, so she waited in Shen Nanyan's yard early, fearing that Shen Zongyuan would attack Shen Nanyan because of this matter. Sure enough, when Shen Zongyuan came, his face looked very unhappy.

This was not only a beating of her own daughter, but also a slap in her own face. After all, she was an official appointed by the court. How could a princess casually beat someone in her own home?

"master."

"Daddy."

"Don't call me dad. You're so powerful now that you can even get close to the princess and let her do something to your sister at home. That's your own sister."

Shen Zongyuan did not hide anything and blamed Shen Nanyue directly.

"Master, this can't be blamed..."

"Don't protect her here. Lingxi was beaten beyond recognition. You are also a mother. Don't you know how painful it is for parents to see their children beaten?"

Shen Zongyuan was indeed in pain, but what hurt him was the reputation of the Shen family, not Shen Lingxi being trampled by Princess Chunxi.

"The eldest lady was beaten, and the master was so distressed. What about Yan'er? Her injuries haven't healed for over a month. Has the master ever felt sorry for her?"

Aunt Su also took the risk and contradicted Shen Zongyuan for the first time. What Aunt Su said really made Shen Zongyuan a little overwhelmed. After Shen Nanyue was injured, the matter was over. Not to mention being angry, Shen Zongyuan never even mentioned it.

Shen Nanyan slowly stood up, pulled Aunt Su to sit down, and then looked at Shen Zongyuan.

"Father, as soon as you come home, you start blaming your daughter. But have you ever asked Princess Chunxi why she hit me?"

"Why? Why else could it be? Princess Chunxi went straight to your courtyard the moment she entered. She must have been standing up for you. If you had said a few good words for your sister, why would she have been beaten like this?"

"Father is puzzled, and I am puzzled too. I haven't left the house in a long time, let alone met the princess. How could the princess stand up for me? Originally, nothing happened, but I don't know why the mistress brought the eldest sister to my courtyard. During the conversation, the eldest sister bluntly accused the princess of bad behavior and questioned her upbringing. She is the princess, how could she allow others to despise the royal majesty? That's why they took action."

"What? She...she actually...is such a fool. She's someone who has to win face in front of the Emperor. How dare she..."

"That is to say, although I have no friendship with Princess Chunxi, I have risked my life to plead for her. However, I am just a little concubine. How could the princess listen to me? It is my incompetence that I failed to protect my elder sister. I hope that father will punish me."

After saying that, Shen Nanyan was about to kneel down, and Shen Zongyuan quickly stood up and held Shen Nanyan.

Although he did not completely believe Shen Nanyan's words, there is no smoke without fire. He knew his daughter's style. Moreover, Shen Nanyan's injury had not yet healed, and the old lady was still waiting for Shen Nanyan to detoxify. He could not really let Shen Nanyan kneel down and be punished.
