Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Chapter 157 The End of Aunt Lan

As soon as the Lu mother and daughter came in, they started crying aggrievedly. Shen Lingxi wanted to go into the inner room to see Shen Yunyi, but was stopped by Nanny Yin.

"Dad, my brother is your son and the legitimate son of the Shen family. He has the support of the Lu family. He has status and money, so he can have any woman he wants. How could he get entangled with Concubine Lan? It was all Concubine Lan's seduction. Dad, you can't give up your son for this fickle woman!"

"Could it be that you also know about this?"

Shen Zongyuan looked at Shen Lingxi coldly. He suddenly felt like a fool. Everyone in the mansion relied on him, but he was deceived by everyone.

"I...I don't know. I don't know. I just heard...I heard about it. How would my daughter know?"

"No one was sent to invite you, but you and your daughter rushed in crying. No one told you what happened, yet you've already started defending that rebellious son and claiming you didn't know. You, and you, and you all knew about their affair, yet no one told me. You allowed them to do this shameless and dirty thing. Do you even know who the head of the Shen family is?"

Shen Zongyuan pointed at Shen Lingxi, Mrs. Lu, and Shen Rongying and her daughter. His hands trembled slightly, and his eyes were red. At this moment, he had to admit his failure.

The matter was concealed by so many people, including two of his beloved daughters. It was all in vain. All his pampering and love were in vain.

Shen Zongyuan felt sore all over and very tired. Almost in an instant, his tall figure became hunched over and he looked ten years older. He walked towards the door with listless steps and no light in his eyes.

"Zong Yuan, this matter..."

The old lady wanted to see what Shen Zongyuan meant, but at the moment he was like an eggplant hit by frost, and had no idea what to do.

"Mom, is this still my home? My wife and daughter have teamed up to deceive me. How could my life end up like this? Forget it, let it be. Let them be."

"I know you're upset, but you're the pillar of the Shen family, so you have to hold on. This matter can't be made public, but it has to be handled appropriately. Otherwise, are we just going to let them disgust us in the mansion?"

"Mrs. Lan hasn't given birth to a child yet, so she's imprisoned in this courtyard. Shen Yunyi will move out of the mansion from now on, and he's not allowed to return home alone."

When Aunt Lan heard this, she felt relieved. She knew that her relationship with Shen Zongyuan had come to an end, but Shen Zongyuan was still willing to keep her in the Shen family, which must be for the sake of the child. Whether it was a relationship or not, she had let it go and didn't care. As long as she could stay in the Shen family, there was still hope for her life.

"Master, are you really going to treat your own son like this for this lowly concubine?"

Mrs. Lu changed her hesitant attitude and questioned Shen Zongyuan with her hands on her hips.

"I didn't kill him, which is already a shame for me, Shen Zongyuan. What else do you want?"

"No matter what, Yun Yi is still the legitimate son of the Shen family. How can we let him leave the Shen family? It is the Lan family that should really leave."

The old lady opened her mouth to say something, but seeing Shen Zongyuan's sad look, she shut up. She naturally wanted to kick Aunt Lan out of the house. No matter how bad Shen Yunyi was, he was still a member of the Shen family. How could she kick him out of the house?

"The child Lan is carrying is also mine. Are you going to kick a baby out of the house?"

"That was also the fault of the Lan family. They deserve it. Shen Zongyuan, I'm telling you, if you dare to drive Yun Yi out of the house, my Lu family will mobilize all our strength to report you to the emperor. I think your career in the government is over!"

"presumptuous!"

As soon as Mrs. Lu finished speaking, the old lady knocked over the teacup on the table, and the fine porcelain scattered everywhere, scaring everyone.

"As the mistress of the Shen family, you don't educate your son properly. Now that something has happened, you dare to use your mother's family to threaten your husband. Is this the upbringing of your Lu family?"

"My son is about to be kicked out of the house, so why should I care about his upbringing? Old lady, you are doing this for your son, and I am doing this for mine. We have the same stance, and I believe you can understand my feelings."

"If I want to understand you, you have to do the right thing. Now your son has done this shameful thing, and as a mother, not only do you not reflect on it, comfort your husband, or think about how to make amends, but you are actually brazenly threatening Zong Yuan here. Is there anyone in the world who acts like you?"

"I……"

"That's enough. I'm the one who has no face to live anymore. Are you guys going to kill me by arguing like this?"

Shen Zongyuan's head was about to explode. The matter between Aunt Lan and Shen Yunyi had not been dealt with yet, and the old lady had started quarreling with Mrs. Lu again. He now wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into and have some peace and quiet.

"master"

At the door, Butler Zhao appeared with a servant and a man. Shen Zongyuan tilted his head slightly, his eyes full of impatience.

"What's the matter?"

"Just now, His Majesty the Prince of Huai's men sent a man over, saying... that the Master might be able to use him, so I brought him over for the Master to see."

At this time, Prince Huai actually sent someone to him, and it was another man. Puzzled, Shen Zongyuan didn't say anything for a long time. After thinking for a moment, he looked outside the door and spoke.

"who?"

"I don't know him. Bring him up for my master to examine."

Soon, the servant brought a thin and lean man into the house. Aunt Lan only took a quick glance at him and was completely stunned.

Shen Zongyuan looked at the man carefully. He seemed to have seen this man somewhere, but he couldn't remember where for a moment. However, even though he couldn't remember, Aunt Su remembered him.

"It's him."

Hearing Aunt Su's exclamation, Shen Zongyuan looked up at Aunt Su.

"You know him?"

"I know him. It's him. He was the one who delivered the fabric to the mansion. And...the soft yarn for the old lady's lingerie was the one he sent to my courtyard."

"He was indeed delivering fabrics to our house. He has been here many times and even visited our Luxiangzhai. The old lady must have a good impression of him."

Nanny Yin also recognized the man. After Nanny Yin reminded her, the old lady also remembered him. She suddenly seemed to understand something and shifted her gaze to Aunt Lan.

Sure enough, Aunt Lan was trembling with fear at this moment, as if she was on the edge of an abyss. She seemed to feel the old lady's gaze, but she didn't dare to look up and look at her. This man was an old acquaintance of Aunt Lan. Not to mention the poisonous material, this man also knew about her and Shen Yunyi.

Suddenly, a sense of despair arose in her heart, as if today was the end of her. No matter what was revealed, her life would be lost here.
