Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

After Wei Ze returned to Shen Yunzhi's courtyard, Shen Nanyan also returned to her own courtyard. Before she finished her tea, Nanny Yin had already knocked on the courtyard door. Shen Nanyan followed Nanny Yin to Luxiangzhai with a confused look on her face.

When she entered the room, she saw that the old lady had been placed on the couch. Without asking any questions, she hurriedly began to take the old lady's pulse.

In fact, the old lady was not seriously injured. She just had blood and qi attacking her heart, and fainted for a while. Shen Nanyue only gave her a few light acupuncture treatments, and the old lady slowly woke up. However, she was very angry after waking up. Shen Nanyue pretended to know nothing and stood aside without saying anything. Soon Shen Zongyuan hurried into the room.

"Mom, how are you? Are you still feeling bad?"

"I really hope to die so I don't have to watch these dirty things."

"No matter how many mistakes I make, they are all my fault. Don't be angry, mother. Take care of yourself!"

"Don't talk nonsense. That's the ancestral hall, in front of the ancestral spirit tablets. They don't shy away from it at all. Do they even take you and the Shen family seriously?"

"Yes, yes, my son will punish them severely."

"Punishment? Do you still want to just punish and be done with it?"

"What does that mother mean..."

"Tang Manrou must not be allowed to stay here any longer. I don't care what your relationship with her father is. Tang Manrou is not someone who will stay quiet. Send him out tomorrow."

"This...it's winter now, and the New Year is coming to an end. If we kick her out now, she will be alone and helpless. How will she survive?"

"She's done such shameless things, and I don't care how she lives. Shen Zongyuan, if you really don't want to kick her out, then send your son away. He's the one who caused all this trouble, and it's time he learns a lesson."

On one side is the daughter of an old friend, and on the other side is his own son. No matter how much hatred and anger Shen Zongyuan felt, he knew what to choose.

I can only agree to the old lady's request first, calm her down and then think of other solutions. It's useless to say anything now when she is angry.

The old lady really didn't want to see her son anymore, so she asked Aunt Su to take Shen Zongyuan out, leaving only Nanny Yin and Shen Nanyue in the room. Shen Nanyue obediently didn't mention what had happened, but only picked out some interesting things to tell the old lady, and the old lady's expression eased a little.

On the way back to Qingyun Pavilion, Shen Zongyuan was in a very low mood. Aunt Su supported him, counseling and comforting him. Now was Shen Zongyuan's most vulnerable time, and even lifting his feet to take a step seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

"The old lady is angry, and so am I. Even if they did something wrong, kicking them out now is no different from killing them."

"The master is kind-hearted and wanted to just punish her, but the old lady seems to have never liked Miss Tang. I'm afraid we have to think of a way to have the best of both worlds."

"Now the old lady is determined to drive Tang Manrou out of the house, even using Yun Yi..."

"Master, in fact, you just want to take care of the son of an old friend, but you don't have to take care of her in the mansion. We can buy her a small house outside and let her have no worries about food and clothing. It will be no different from her life in the Shen family. I believe Miss Tang will feel more comfortable."

When Shen Zongyuan heard this, his face suddenly relaxed a little.

"This is a good idea. Yingqiu is really smart. Not only will this satisfy the old lady, but it will also prevent us from being known as ungrateful. I'll have someone look for a house tomorrow. Very good, very good."

In an instant, a smile bloomed on Shen Zongyuan's face. The stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he felt that the burden on his shoulders was much lighter.

Shen Zongyuan was extremely disappointed with Shen Yunyi, but he was his own son after all, and he didn't want to see Shen Yunyi being kicked out of the house because of Tang Manrou. What's more important is that if Shen Yunyi was kicked out, Mrs. Lu would definitely cry all day long, and Shen Yunyi would also be restless. After a long time, there would definitely be rumors, which would not be good for the Shen family's reputation.

"It's just a small matter. If you trust me, just leave it to me. I will personally find a good house for Miss Tang. You don't have to worry about the money. I still have some money. The money in the mansion needs to be kept to help the eldest master repay the 800,000 taels. That is not a small amount."

From what Shen Zongyuan just said, Aunt Su also heard that Shen Zongyuan still couldn't bear to see Shen Yunyi being killed, so that debt must be repaid. She couldn't do anything else, but she could still spend a little money to win Shen Zongyuan's favor.

Besides, the money Shen Nanyue gave her was quite a lot. Not to mention buying a small courtyard, she could even afford the entire Shen family mansion.

"Luckily, I still have you by my side, Yingqiu. I was stupid before and didn't take good care of you. Now I have you to share my worries."

"What's the big deal? Since I've become your concubine, I'm one with you. Your affairs are naturally my affairs. Besides, I'm just a concubine in the backyard. I can't do anything else. I can only help out a little in these small matters. This is also an opportunity given by the master."

At this moment, Aunt Su completely entered Shen Zongyuan's heart.

Looking back, Shen Zongyuan finally understood what it meant to be one as a couple. In the dark night, the wind was cold and his eyes were wet, but his heart was warm.

The next day, Shen Nanyan took the old lady's pulse and helped her drink the medicine. Then she went to Shen Yunzhi's yard. Shen Yunzhi had woken up, but he looked very lost, as if his soul had been taken away. Even when Shen Nanyan entered the room, he didn't look up.

"But is there anything else that's making you uncomfortable?"

Shen Yunzhi still didn't say a word, and Shen Nanyue turned to look at Wei Ze.

"The Second Young Master has been showering since he woke up, his body covered in scratches. We finally managed to stop him, but he just sat there without saying a word and even took away the breakfast that was served to him."

Shen Nanyan nodded, walked over and sat next to Shen Yunzhi, took his hand, gently lifted up her sleeve, and as soon as she saw the red skin, Shen Yunzhi took it back.

"elder brother."

"Don't touch me, I'm dirty."

"Why don't I prescribe some medicine for you, brother? You can soak in the water for half a day. It's not a big deal. Luckily, Wei Ze and I came back in time, so Tang Manrou didn't touch you. But your clothes must have been burned. They were touched by her, so they are indeed dirty."

"She...she didn't touch me? But I remember we..."

"Yes, she drugged you on purpose, but you hate her in your heart, so you have always been resistant to her approaching. You are a man, and a military commander at that. What can a weak woman like her do to you? When Wei Ze and I entered the room, you had already entered the inner room, but you were both neat and tidy, and didn't do anything inappropriate. Besides, if you really did something, wouldn't your body feel it?"

Shen Yunzhi looked at Shen Nanyan seriously, then raised his head and looked at Wei Ze carefully.

Although things were not as Shen Nanyan said, the result was correct. The two of them had only reached the last step and nothing really happened, so Shen Nanyan was not lying.

"Don't disbelieve it. If you really did something with her, you would be sore and weak today, and your desire would be reduced. Your mood might also be..."

Before Shen Nanyan could finish her words, her mouth was covered by Shen Yunzhi. Even Wei Ze, who was standing beside her, blushed. He couldn't stand it any longer and turned around and walked out.
