Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Taking advantage of this time, Mrs. Lu sent Shen Lingxi away, and then picked up clothes from the ground and put them on Shen Yunyi. While helping Shen Yunyi put on his clothes, she blamed him for coming to Aunt Lan's place today, and even slapped Shen Yunyi hard in the face when she was angry.

Now that this matter has been exposed, Shen Zongyuan will probably never even look at his son again. His hopes are gone, so how could Mrs. Lu not be angry?

Outside, after Shen Zongyuan's wrist was bandaged, he still sat there motionless. No one knew what he was thinking. After a long time, he slowly spoke.

"Tell me everything you know."

"I have already said it all. I have told you everything I know."

The man had been stunned by the fight in the house and was now kneeling on the ground, trembling.

"When did they do this? You know, tell me everything, everything."

"I don't know much about this kind of thing, but at the beginning of this year, when the weather started to warm up, Aunt Lan came to my shop and said she was tired from shopping and wanted to use my second floor to rest. Since we were both regular customers, I agreed. Not long after, the eldest young master of the Shen family came to the shop again. He said he had something to ask Aunt Lan, so he went upstairs. After that, Aunt Lan's nanny guarded the stairs and didn't let anyone go up. Although it was against the rules, I was making money from the Shen family after all, so I didn't dare say anything. That day...that day I heard the sounds of men and women making love upstairs...the sounds...the sounds of men and women making love, but I didn't dare ask. This happened many times later. They almost came to my shop every two or three days. Aunt Lan also gave me some money from time to time. This matter..."

"At the beginning of the year... that is, before the Cold Food Festival, they had already done this shameless thing, and then they pinned the blame on me. What a calculation, what a calculation, Lan. You haven't had a son all these years, and I'm afraid you'll worry about being alone. I dote on you in every way, and is this how you treat me?"

Aunt Lan's face no longer had the fear and nervousness it had before. She looked at Shen Zongyuan calmly and smiled gently. As long as Shen Zongyuan was still willing to talk to her, it meant that Shen Zongyuan still had some attachment to her. What's more, the child in her belly was also from the Shen family, and the old lady valued offspring the most.

"It's true that the master dotes on me, but it's also true that I was suppressed by the Lu family. No matter how much you dote on me, how long can you support me?"

"Isn't the money, the shop, the farm, and the land I gave you enough?"

"Money will eventually run out, but my son is different. He can be my lifelong support. Sister Su is now living a better life because her son is under the command of Prince Huai."

"I can't let you rely on me?"

"Can you live as long as my son? If you die before me, I will be all alone. Who can I rely on?"

"Snapped!"

Shen Zongyuan's eyes almost popped out of his head in anger, and his slap landed on Aunt Lan's face for the first time.

"When the old lady was poisoned, did you think I didn't know it was you? But why didn't I expose you? It was because I wanted to protect you. I loved and protected you with all my heart, but you cheated on me. And... and... do you have any conscience at all?"

"Hehe... Xin, Madam has the Lu family and a son to rely on, and Concubine Su also has a son to rely on. What do I have? Just because I don't have a son, the old lady can't stand me. She pampers Concubine Su all day long and is almost stepping on my face. What have you done?"

"My aunt is always cautious and prudent. She has never bullied you. But you wanted to harm my grandmother and dragged my aunt into it. My aunt and I have suffered a lot of injustice."

Shen Nanyan spoke up in time and mentioned the grievances she and Aunt Su had suffered when they were beaten when the old lady was poisoned, which also increased Shen Zongyuan's guilt.

"This grievance was inflicted by my wife, so what does it have to do with me? Besides, if you hadn't insisted on investigating, how could this matter have been exposed? If it hadn't been exposed, your aunt wouldn't have been beaten. It's all your own fault, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Crack, snap, snap!"

As soon as Aunt Lan finished speaking, the angry Shen Nanyan rushed up and slapped her several times. Not only Aunt Lan was stunned, but everyone else was also stunned.

Shen Nanyan never made enemies in the mansion. She would give in when encountering problems and never lost her temper. No one expected this sudden attack. When everyone came to their senses, Shen Rongying rushed over first and stretched out her hand to hit Shen Nanyan, but she didn't expect that Butler Zhao grabbed her arm and controlled her, and whispered in her ear.

"If Fourth Miss dares to act rashly again, I'm afraid I might accidentally break your arm."

The usually honest housekeeper Zhao seemed to have an unknown murderous aura at this moment. Shen Rongying felt guilty instantly and turned around to beg Shen Zongyuan crying.

"Dad, you value family education the most. Fifth sister actually dared to hit my mother. No matter what, my mother is her elder!"

"She doesn't deserve it. I won't involve you in this matter for now. Please stop making trouble."

"Then my...my mother was beaten by her for nothing?"

"That's what she owes your fifth sister and her daughter. You know how badly Aunt Su and Yan'er were injured at that time. Now, she just slapped her a few times, and you can't bear it?"

"Dad, my mom is your childhood sweetheart!"

"It is also a shame that makes me, Shen Zongyuan, unable to hold my head up."

"grandmother……"

Seeing that Shen Zongyuan had no hope, Shen Rongying turned around and begged the old lady, but the old lady didn't give her a good face either.

"Shut up, she's just a bitch. Just forget you have such a mother. Aunt Su and her daughter were harmed by her. You knew about this, but you still concealed it for them. How dare you plead for her now?"

"In the old lady's eyes, everything about her concubine Su is good. A woman from a lowly family has only learned how to serve others and please the old lady and the master. Naturally, you look down on me even more. Su Yingqiu, it's all your fault that I'm in this situation today. If you hadn't pleased the old lady and hadn't received the master's favor, why would I be so desperate to have a son? Bitch, I just want to use you and watch you get beaten by Mrs. Lu. Why didn't I beat you and your daughter to death back then?"

"Shut up! You did something wrong, but you're blaming it all on Aunt Su. When I was poisoned, you should have been beaten to death."

The old lady was so angry that she poked the ground with her cane, making loud noises.

"Master, look, this is the fate of not having a son. If I had a son, he would definitely be able to defend me. Even for the sake of her son, the old lady would be able to treat me better."

"The old lady doesn't like you because you don't have a son?"

"What's the point of saying this now? Master, whether you're angry or resentful, things have already come to this, and I don't want to quibble. Although the baby in my belly is not Master's, it is also the Shen family's child. Master can't just not want this child, right?"

"What a heartless, heartless person!"

Shen Zongyuan turned his head to the side, hiding his scarlet eyes in the darkness. He took a deep breath to ease his emotions at the moment, but he couldn't help but let a tear fall, which flowed down his cheek, which had been weathered overnight, and into his collar.
