Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Sure enough, not long after walking out, I saw a golden field that was very dazzling.

However, it seems that this patch of wild chrysanthemums grew on their own, with no signs of being trimmed by anyone. After all, in the mansions of wealthy families, no one would look down on such wild flowers. It's just that they have strong vitality and bloom on their own.

Caifu's brows lit up instantly and she ran over happily.

"Miss, look, isn't it beautiful? It's exactly the same as the one that bloomed in front of my door when I was a child. This wild chrysanthemum can be soaked in water and drunk. It is best for clearing the liver, improving eyesight, dispersing wind and dissipating heat."

Caifu was still the same as in her previous life, always liking to collect various flowers to make tea. At that time, under the strict control of Old Madam Yue, Shen Nanyan had nothing in her courtyard and had to rely on Caifu's flower tea to make ends meet.

"I'll buy some tomorrow and make tea."

"Buying is not good, picking it yourself is the best. Why don't we go out of the city? There are a lot of them on the roadside outside the city. We can relax."

"Listen to you."

Caifu opened her eyes wide, and then they curved with laughter.

This was just a sudden idea of ​​hers, but she didn't expect Shen Nanyan to agree to it. Caifu was actually a little flattered.

Shen Nanyan stood in the bright sunshine, her light cloud-colored dress fluttering in the autumn breeze. Her unmade-up face was as soft as jade and as gentle as a flower. Just a slight glance could make people fall in love with her and unable to extricate themselves!

Looking at Caifu's happy expression at this moment, Shen Nanyan couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips. If she didn't have so much hatred in her heart, perhaps she could be like Caifu and Wu You.

"Miss Shen."

Shen Nanyan raised her eyes and saw Shang Ci standing not far from her. Today he was as gentle and elegant as ever, and his purple robe made him look even more noble.

Caifu also hurried over and stood beside Shen Nanyan.

"I've met the prince."

"You're welcome."

Shang Ci smiled and walked forward a few steps, stopping not far away.

"I heard that you... I heard that you were injured. I didn't expect you to come to this party today."

"Such a trivial matter has even reached the ears of the prince."

"Miss Shen misunderstood. I just heard about it by chance and I don't know anything about it."

What happens in the backyard of an official's mansion can be known by outsiders, so there must be some undercover guards in this mansion. Although Shang Ci does have people in each mansion, he cannot admit it at this time, otherwise Shen Nanyan will definitely be on guard against him.

"Yes, there is no wall that is impenetrable."

"Have you recovered from your injuries?"

"Thank you, my lord. I'm fine now."

Shang Ci turned his head and looked around before speaking again.

"Miss Shen, may I come closer and have a few words?"

"Miss……"

Caifu called Shen Nanyan directly. This was in someone else's house, and Shang Ci was a stranger. He had seen the methods of the women in the Shen family's backyard, so Caifu was really scared.

Shen Nanyan smiled at Caifu, telling her to rest assured.

"No problem, Prince Shang, please."

Shang Ci looked around again, then took a few steps closer and stood at an arm's length from Shen Nanyue.

"Is there a woman in the mansion pregnant?"

Although Shang Ci used interrogative sentences, his words made Shen Nanyan more alert. He asked such a private matter right away. Shen Nanyan didn't believe him when he said he didn't plant anyone in the Shen family.

"What do you mean, my lord?"

"I didn't mean to inquire about your Shen family. I just accidentally caught someone a while ago. According to him, he helped a pregnant woman in your Shen family dye a batch of cloth."

The words were so clear that Shen Nanyan naturally knew what Shang Ci was talking about, but she still didn't speak easily. Seeing this, Shang Ci no longer concealed it.

"Considering your injury, I made a guess. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. That person hasn't been released yet. If you need him, you can take him away at any time."

"Prince, are you helping me?"

"We can be considered to have known each other, it's just a coincidence. Besides, if such a person stays in the Shen Mansion, who knows what will happen next time, whether it's for you or for your aunt."

Originally, Shen Nanyan planned to let Shen Rongying get married as soon as possible so that Aunt Lan would not have so many worries. She was also willing to support her father's marriage. After all, the two of them had a childhood sweetheart relationship. But Aunt Lan had extended her evil hand to her own mother, so don't blame Shen Nanyan for not giving her a way out.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I'll keep the person here for now. I'll trouble you again when I need you."

"You're welcome. There's one more thing you should know. Not only you, but Lord Shen should know it as well."

"What's the matter?"

"Do you remember when we were praying at Wanfu Temple on Cold Food Festival? I reminded you that in the woods outside the temple..."

Shen Nanyan frowned slightly.

"I sent someone to check, but they didn't find anything."

Shang Ci turned around and looked around again.

"Mrs. Lan is not pregnant with Lord Shen's child."

In an instant, Shen Nanyan was stunned, and her watery eyes were full of disbelief.

She knew that Aunt Lan had poisoned the old lady, she knew that Aunt Lan was arrogant and domineering, and she knew that she was determined to replace Mrs. Lu, but she had never doubted the relationship between Aunt Lan and Shen Zongyuan. They had been together since childhood, and their feelings were not formed overnight.

"You...you said, say...you said Aunt Lan is not pregnant with the Shen family's child???"

"No, she is pregnant with the Shen family's child, but not Lord Shen's child."

Shen Nanyan just stayed where she was and didn't say anything for a long time.

If Aunt Lan was pregnant with the Shen family's child, but not Shen Zongyuan's, then the person who made her pregnant must be a man in the mansion. But apart from Shen Zongyuan, there are only Shen Yunyi and Shen Yunzhi left in the mansion.

No, during the Cold Food Festival, Shen Yunzhi had left the capital for a long time, so only Shen Yunyi was left. Could it be that Shen Yunyi... He actually dared to have an affair with his father's concubine and made her pregnant. This is too ridiculous.

"Then...then that person is..."

"That's all he has, isn't it?"

"That's impossible. She's his father's concubine, and she's his wife. How could he do something worse than an animal? Besides, Aunt Lan wouldn't agree to it!"

"But what if Aunt Lan needs this child?"

Indeed, when Aunt Lan was pregnant, she had a rift with Shen Zongyuan. She had always been domineering. If she lost Shen Zongyuan's favor, she would die at the hands of Mrs. Lu sooner or later. Moreover, she only had one child, Shen Rongying. If Shen Rongying got married, she would be helpless in this mansion. But if she had another child, it would be different. If she had a boy, Mrs. Lu would probably give her some ground.

The more she thought about it, the paler Shen Nanyue's face became. She could accept Aunt Lan's cruelty, but she could not accept that she and Shen Yunyi did such a beastly thing to deceive Shen Zongyuan, the old lady, and the entire Shen family.

It is not difficult to see from the old lady's poisoning that Shen Zongyuan still has feelings for Aunt Lan, otherwise he would not have suppressed the matter quietly just to protect her. But unexpectedly, Shen Zongyuan is also a love-brained person and was fooled around.
