Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

When Shen Yunzhi came, Shen Nanyue was still observing the servants one by one in Su Xinrong's yard, because these were the people Su Xinrong was most likely to come into contact with.

"We've searched the entire residence, but there's no trace of him at all. Maybe Xinrong has already left the Su residence."

"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty. Brother, if Second Brother had escaped, there would definitely be signs of damage in this room, but the doors and windows are intact. This means someone must have helped!"

"But he was also sent here directly from Baicao Lane, and his servants were all newly hired. How could he possibly know them? He doesn't even have a single ounce of silver on him, so who could help him?"

"Oops!"

"what happened?"

"I thought about what Shen Lingxi had mentioned to me before, saying that all these shops in the capital were under the care of the Su family. I didn't take it to heart at the time. Brother, could it be the Lu family..."

"My uncle and aunt are no longer ordinary people who were bullied by others. How could the Lu family be so foolproof? But it's not certain. The most important thing now is to find Xinrong first, and we have to start from this mansion."

Shen Nanyan was still thinking about this matter. Shen Yunzhi pulled her to the front hall. Her aunt Yao Susu was holding the key and wiping her tears anxiously. The whole house was filled with worry.

"Aunt, don't be sad. I'll go to the military camp right away to get some help looking for him. Xinrong is no longer a child, so he'll be fine even if he's gone for a few days."

"Yes, aunt, my brother has many people under his command, so he will definitely find it soon."

"It's freezing cold, what if I get frozen?"

"He wanted to run away on his own. He froze to death and it was all his own fault. What's the point of you feeling sorry for him, you rebellious son? If you find him, I'll break his legs and see how he can run away again."

Su Zhaoyu was also furious, his face was pale with anger. Ever since Su Xinrong's accident last time, Su Zhaoyu's body has not been in good health, and he has obviously aged a lot.

Shen Nanyan glanced at Su Xinyuan and signaled him to send the servants out. After the servants left, Shen Nanyan spoke.

"In the past, was there any servant who had more contact with Second Brother?"

Su Xinyuan understood instantly.

"There are only those in his yard. However, those people are under death contract. Their lives and deaths are in our hands. We probably won't let him leave. As for the others... there doesn't seem to be many people."

"No, someone must be helping him. Uncle and aunt, don't go out for the next two days. Just stay in the mansion and keep an eye on the servants. Otherwise, if we find our second brother but don't catch the people who helped him, it will be in vain. Tomorrow, brother, get more people to search outside the city, and my eldest brother and I will ask around in Shangjing City. With so many of us, uncle and aunt can rest assured."

"Yes, Susu, don't worry too much. Maybe Xinrong went out to relax and come back tomorrow. He must be angry after being locked up for so long. Lu Qiao, you should go with your cousin to look for him tomorrow. More people will help."

Su Yinghe was naturally worried, but she couldn't show it at this time, otherwise Yao Susu would be even more anxious.

After comforting the Su family, Shen Yunzhi took Shen Nanyan back to the Shen family. In the carriage, Shen Nanyan kept thinking about what Shen Lingxi said to her that day. She felt more and more that this was Lu's trick.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they returned home, Butler Zhao reminded them that something had happened in the mansion and asked them to go to the front hall. Shen Nanyan looked at Butler Zhao seriously, but she didn't ask the questions in her heart in the end.

When the brother and sister arrived at the front hall, they saw that everyone was inside, even the old lady was there. With them were two men, one of whom was a smiling tiger, and the other was ferocious. They did not look like good people. Shen Yunzhi grabbed Shen Nanyue and blocked her behind him.

"Daddy, Grandma."

"Yunzhi is back. Why don't you go back to the yard?"

Shen Zongyuan's first reaction was that he didn't want Shen Yunzhi's career to be damaged, so he didn't want him to get involved.

"But what happened?"

"without……"

"It's not a big deal. It's just that Mr. Shen from your family owes our gambling house 800,000 taels of silver. Recently, Mr. Shen hasn't been coming to our gambling house to play. That's why we came to ask for an explanation. It's actually not that difficult. Just give us the silver and the matter will be resolved. We can still be friends."

The smiling tiger didn't sound like a debt collector when he spoke, but rather like he was here to propose marriage. He had a smile on his face, but no matter how much he smiled, people couldn't ignore the 800,000 taels of silver!

"Eight hundred thousand... taels!"

Shen Yunzhi was shocked.

Shen Nanyue, however, had a calm expression. This was her doing. She was just using the same trick that Lu had used on Shen Yunzhi. She didn't expect that he would lose so much just by luring Shen Yunyi into the game. Eight hundred thousand taels, even if Shen Zongyuan took out all his wealth, it would still not be enough to fill this hole.

No wonder no one spoke in the room when the two came in. It seemed like they didn't know what to do.

"You said eight hundred thousand taels, is it really eight hundred thousand taels? Who knows if you have done anything? I, Yun Yi, will not touch that. Think carefully about whose debt it is. This lady remembers that Yun Zhi went to the gambling house before."

"you shut up!"

Shen Zongyuan almost lost his temper at what Mrs. Lu said. Now that Shen Yunyi was useless, he only had a promising son like Shen Yunzhi. He would never allow Mrs. Lu to discredit him.

"They've come to your house, naming you by name, and you're still trying to make excuses for your rebellious son. Don't they know who's the one who's been going to their gambling house all day? Mrs. Lu, over the years, people outside have praised you for your virtue, and no one in the mansion has ever treated you unfairly. But look at what the son you raised has done."

The old lady was so angry that she kept beating her chest, and Nanny Yin hurried forward to comfort her.

"It's already this late, and the old lady is still talking about this. Could it be that she's just going to ignore Yun Yi? He's the legitimate son!"

"Madam Shen, the money was borrowed by Mr. Shen from the gambling house. Every payment has his name and handprint. If Madam Shen doesn't believe it, we can let the government make the final decision. It's okay, okay."

"Who the hell are you? You're not worthy enough to talk to me. You're accusing us Yun Yi with just a few pieces of paper. Let your boss come."

The smile on the smiling tiger's face disappeared in an instant. It turned out that he looked even more ferocious when he didn't smile. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became weird. Aunt Su nervously grabbed the handrail. Shen Nanyue hurried forward and held her hand, signaling her not to be afraid.

"It's best to collect money on the street, so everyone can be harmonious. But if someone is blind and unwilling to use the money to pay off gambling debts, then there is another way."

As soon as the Smiling Tiger finished his words, the ferocious man beside him stood up, and his big hand reached for the dagger at his waist. Shen Zongyuan's face looked uneasy, and Lu and Shen Lingxi had already stood up and were ready to escape at any time.
