Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

But things have come to this, what's the use of Lu's mother and daughter pleading? Shen Zongyuan won't listen to a word, and he doesn't want to listen. If Lu's mother and daughter hadn't rushed in to stop him, he would have really beaten Shen Yunyi to death.

This is no longer a question of betrayal; it is a question of his dignity and his face being trampled underfoot and rubbed repeatedly by his own son and his most beloved woman.

"Master, now that it has happened, the eldest son probably didn't do it on purpose. If he truly felt sorry for you, he wouldn't have waited until now. Please forgive him."

Butler Zhao stepped forward to comfort Shen Zongyuan, but this was not comfort at all, it was simply adding fuel to the fire.

"If he really had me as his father, how could he do such a thing? He didn't mean it. I think he did it on purpose. How dare he... plant your seed in her belly? You rebellious son, you rebellious son, I'll beat you to death!"

Shen Zongyuan kicked Lu away, picked up the green-glazed garlic-shaped vase on the table, and smashed it towards Shen Yunyi. The cold vase shattered when it touched Shen Yunyi's skin. Shen Yunyi's body was cut with several cuts. Lu wanted to rush over to stop him, but it was too late. With fire in her eyes, Lu vented her anger directly on Shen Zongyuan. She grabbed Shen Zongyuan's hand that was about to pick up something and bit his wrist hard. She bit him hard because of her anger. Shen Zongyuan's face turned pale in an instant.

"Poisonous woman, you poisonous woman!"

Shen Zongyuan grabbed Lu's hair and pulled it hard, but Lu refused to let go. Shen Zongyuan screamed in pain, which alarmed the old lady outside. The old lady came in with a crutch. When she saw her son being bitten by Lu, she raised her crutch and hit Lu. The scene was extremely chaotic.

Aunt Su supported the old lady and tried to stop her, but Butler Zhao quietly pulled Aunt Su's sleeve and shook his head at her. Aunt Su looked at him and didn't understand what Butler Zhao meant. Although she didn't listen to Butler Zhao's request to let go of the old lady, she didn't try to stop her, so the old lady beat her even harder. Even Shen Lingxi came up to stop her, but she couldn't avoid being beaten by the old lady. The jewelry on her head fell to the ground, and her hair was like Lu's, like a beggar.

Finally, the melee ended instantly after Shen Zongyuan kicked Lu away.

"Mom, mom, are you okay?"

Lu flew out and hit the corner cabinet, which shattered into pieces. She lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up, which shows how much strength Shen Zongyuan used.

"Master, are you okay? Come on, call a doctor."

After they finished fighting, Butler Zhao hurried forward to check the wound on Shen Zongyuan's wrist with concern, and quickly asked someone to call a doctor, showing great concern for Shen Zongyuan.

"No, no... no need, no need, don't let this get out to anyone."

"But the master's wrist is bleeding. The wound must be very deep. How can I feel at ease without letting a doctor take a look?"

"Zong Yuan, this... there's so much blood. How could this woman be so cruel? He's your husband. You... you... you're committing a sin, committing a sin!"

Seeing blood on her son's wrist, the old lady's eyes instantly turned red. She raised her crutch and was about to hit Lu again, but was stopped by Aunt Su.

"Master, there's blood. It's better not to call a doctor outside. Let Yan'er take a look. Otherwise, I... otherwise, the old lady won't be able to rest easy. Yan'er is not an outsider, so Master can rest assured."

"Yes, let Yan'er come and take a look. Quick, Nanny Yin, go pick up the Fifth Young Lady yourself. Be careful on the way."

After Nanny Yin responded to the old lady's words, she quickly turned around and walked out.

Butler Zhao helped Shen Zongyuan sit down slowly, and asked someone to bring a clean handkerchief to clean the bloodstains for Shen Zongyuan.

"Master, calm down. If something really happens to the eldest son, it will be difficult for us to explain to the Lu family. It's better to forget it and think about how to deal with it."

"The Lu family, how could I be afraid of them? No matter how long their reach is, they can still reach my Shen family. Over the years, they and their son have relied on the Lu family's support. Just based on what happened today, how could Lu Senquan have the nerve to come to my Shen family? What a shameful beast."

"Shen Zongyuan, if you have the guts, then you can beat me to death. Then we'll see if my Lu family will flatten the gates of your Shen family."

After taking a breath, Lu started to provoke again. When Shen Zongyuan heard it, he immediately stood up and looked for something to continue fighting with Lu. Shen Lingxi hurriedly blocked Lu's way.

"Dad, Mom is your first wife. If something really happens to Mom, even if Uncle doesn't come to ask for an explanation, our Shen family will become the gossip of the whole capital. Is this what Dad wants to see?"

"What dignity do I have left now? My son and my concubine have a child. If I go out tomorrow, I'm afraid I'll be drowned in people's saliva. What kind of person am I supposed to be? Heavenly Bodhisattva, will you be happy if I die?"

"father!"

"master!"

"Zong Yuan, you...what did you say? Are you going to abandon your mother?"

"Mother, I am useless. It is my son who made you witness such a filthy thing. I am incompetent and it is my son who has brought shame upon you!"

"How can you be blamed for this? If you want to blame someone, blame Yun Yi and the Lan family. You are not wrong. You did nothing wrong, my son."

Shen Zongyuan knelt at the old lady's knees, and the mother and son hugged each other and cried bitterly. At this time, Shen Nanyue ran in with a medicine box. The hair on her forehead was soaked with sweat, her little face was slightly red, and she was only wearing a single piece of clothing. It was obvious that she was very anxious all the way.

"I heard that Daddy..."

Aunt Su grabbed Shen Nanyan with one hand, covered her eyes with her other hand, and pulled her out.

"Auntie, I can't see anymore, Auntie..."

"Don't look, get out now."

Only when they reached the outer room did Aunt Su put down her hand. Shen Nanyue blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Aunt Su in confusion.

"Mom, what's going on?"

"It's nothing, your father is injured, and he asked you to come over to take a look at him. Come quickly."

Behind them, the old lady and Shen Zongyuan came out supporting each other. As soon as the old lady came out, she asked Shen Nanyan to go and see Shen Zongyuan's wound. In fact, Shen Nanyan already knew what happened here, but she still pretended to be ignorant. When she saw the wound on Shen Zongyuan's wrist, she screamed in fright.

"This... the wound is so severe, it looks like it was bitten by something, a dog, or some other beast?"

"Go and see your father quickly. What medicine can be used? Don't ask."

Aunt Su hurriedly stopped her daughter from asking questions, but the old lady did not shy away and spoke directly.

"It was bitten by a beast. You have to show your father a lesson. That thing is worse than a beast. It's so evil."

Shen Nanyan looked up at the expressions of several people and said nothing more. She concentrated on cleaning Shen Zongyuan's wound, which was a simple disinfection, then applied some medicine powder, and then bandaged it. However, Shen Nanyan was extremely careful in every step. Shen Zongyuan looked at the focused Shen Nanyan and couldn't help regretting that he didn't love his daughter well.

But the daughters he truly loved had betrayed him. The old lady's words before might come true. If he wanted to live the rest of his life in peace, he might really have to rely on Aunt Su's two children.
