Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

"Master, Master, please believe me. Every word I say is true. There is not a single lie..."

Mrs. Chen knew that when she pushed Madam Fan out, she had no way out, so she could only beg Lord Fan, and fell to the ground and kowtowed to him repeatedly. Lord Fan ignored her and just waved to the servant.

Of course, these are not what Shen Nanyue cares about. What Lord Fan and the others are thinking, and what the fate of Mrs. Chen is, have nothing to do with Shen Nanyue. She only cares about whether Fan Yujun's life can improve.

"My Lady, these wicked slaves have already committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and Mrs. Chen has dealt with them. Please go to the front hall and have a cup of hot tea."

"Master Fan, you are too polite. This princess and Miss Shen still have some things to discuss with Miss Fan, but this place..."

"Oh...this courtyard...Butler, immediately move the young lady's belongings to the Qionghua Pavilion and arrange for new staff to serve her. Choose the best ones and don't neglect them."

"Yes, sir."

Princess Chunxi and Shen Nanyue didn't say anything else, as this was their purpose.

The new courtyard is indeed much better and the location is no longer remote. Looking at the courtyard, Fan Yujun felt a lot of emotions in her heart. She didn't expect that she could enter such a gorgeous courtyard. She felt even more grateful to Princess Chunxi and Shen Nanyue.

When leaving the Fan family, Princess Chunxi deliberately instructed the nanny beside her in front of Lord Fan to send two capable maids to Fan Yujun tomorrow. This was a slap in Lord Fan's face, but he didn't dare to say anything else. He thanked Princess Chunxi for her care with a smile on his face and respectfully sent her out the door.

After separating from Princess Chunxi, Shen Nanyan took Caifu back to the Shen family. It was almost midnight at this time. As soon as she entered the Shen family's gate, Shen Nanyan felt cold all over. Caifu shivered and pulled the cloak on Shen Nanyan.

"You're getting colder. Please take care of yourself, miss."

"It's okay, it will be warm when you get back."

Shen Nanyan responded to Caifu verbally, but was already talking to Wu You in her mind.

"Can't you wait to go inside? You're cold."

[I can wait, but I can't wait for this news.]

【What's up? 】

[This afternoon, I received word that a lot of people had quietly entered the woods outside the city, so I asked the little ghost to investigate. Guess what?]

【You've also learned to keep people in suspense. 】

[You're so boring! Those are all the prince's private soldiers.]

"I know he has private soldiers, but what does it mean to move them outside the city at this time?"

So stupid.

[He wants to rebel? But Lu Jiusi said he won't do anything for now!]

[What if the old emperor were to die?]

【Isn't the Emperor in good health?】

[That couldn't be helped by someone poisoning him. I've already made inquiries, and it's the Empress and Concubine Ji who did it. Of course, I don't know if it was the Crown Prince's plan. Think about it, he's already approaching forty, and his father... his father is so reluctant to abdicate. The Crown Prince must be more anxious than an ant on a hot pan. The poisoning must have started a long time ago, and it's only happened in the past few days. I've already taken a peek at the King of Hell, and he'll be dead within three days!]

【Three days! 】

If she went to pick up Lu Jiusi, she should still have time. But when she thought of Lu Jiusi's cold face, Shen Nanyan felt a surge of anger in her heart. She was totally confused. If she really went to pick him up and told him that his father was going to die, would he believe it? If he didn't believe it, would he beat her up?

What do you think?

"What am I thinking? Even if the emperor dies, he can't pass the throne to me. What's the point of thinking?"

【But it’s related to Lu Jiusi. 】

"Didn't you see how miserable he was? No one wants me, and I'm just trying to curry favor with them. Whatever."

Caifu suddenly couldn't keep up with Shen Nanyan's pace. They had just been walking together, but Shen Nanyan suddenly quickened her pace. Caifu didn't know what was going on, so she hurriedly jogged after her.

Just as the two were about to reach the courtyard, they saw Nanny Yuan coming towards them.

"Madam Yuan, are you here to pick up the young lady?"

Caifu spoke first, and Nanny Yuan quickly stepped forward with a lantern in hand.

"I saw that you hadn't returned to the courtyard so late, so I thought you were in the front hall. I was just about to go look for you, miss, please be careful where you step."

"How come...what are we doing in the front hall?"

Shen Nanyan continued forward with the lantern.

"Miss, Aunt Tang's child is gone!"

Shen Nanyan paused at what Yuan Ma said.

"Gone? Tang Manrou's child is gone?"

"Yes, after dinner that night, within half an hour, she was in excruciating pain in her room. When the doctor came, she was already bleeding, and the child was already dead."

"Do you know the reason?"

In just a moment, Shen Nanyue thought of the three-day deadline given to Cuizhu. It seemed that she was really determined to do it, but the method was too despicable. But it didn't matter, she should have been dead anyway.

"I don't know. The masters are all questioning them in the front hall right now."

Shen Nanyan turned around and walked back. Caifu and Yuan Ma looked at each other and hurriedly followed her.

"Is the young master at home?"

"Before I returned to the courtyard, I hadn't seen the eldest master yet. I heard that he had gone out again."

When the master and his two servants arrived outside the front hall, they could still faintly hear the questioning inside. They were interrogating some of the maids and old women in Tang Manrou's room. Shen Nanyan asked Nanny Yuan to find out what was going on inside, while she and Caifu hid outside.

Not long after, Nanny Yuan came back. The situation was the same as before. The masters were at a loss. Tang Manrou had not seen anyone, let alone eaten anything special. Moreover, Shen Yunyi had not returned yet. Shen Nanyue turned around and walked towards the gate, sat down in a corridor, and turned her head to look at the door from time to time.

Not long after the hour of midnight, a man was seen running in hurriedly from the gate, and Shen Nanyue slowly stood up.

"Big brother is back!"

"Get out of the way."

"Big brother, you and Tang Manrou are still young. Once Tang Manrou recovers, you will definitely have more children. Big brother, please don't be sad!"

"Shen Nanyan, stop talking nonsense. Didn't you say Rou'er was unwell? What about the baby being gone?"

"How can this be nonsense? The child is already dead. The doctor has taken his pulse, and Tang Manrou even saw blood."

"No... Gone, gone, how could she be gone so suddenly? The doctor said she was in good health. The baby was clearly moving in her belly this morning. How could she be gone so suddenly... Is it, tell me, was it you who did it?"

Maybe it was Shen Yunyi's first child, he was actually a little nervous. In a hurry, he grabbed Shen Nanyan's wrist, his face full of anger and he was very excited. He looked at Shen Nanyan as if he wanted to eat her.

But Shen Nanyue sneered in her heart. The angrier Shen Yunyi got at this moment, the closer things would be to her expectations.
