Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Yue Hanzhou's face was like a colorful painting. He couldn't smile, nor could he be angry. The scene was very awkward for a moment.

"Oh, this is not my fifth sister's fault. She has indeed been feeling unwell these past few days, so it's normal that she can't hold the wine glass. I'll pour you another glass. Today is your fourth sister's big day. If you're feeling unwell, drink a little and enjoy the good fortune. Maybe after drinking this wedding wine, you'll be well again."

Shen Lingxi, who had been silent all the time, filled the wine glass in her hand and handed it to Shen Nanyan personally. She expressed concern, but the smile on her face was only superficial.

This time, Shen Nanyan did not take the wine, nor did she pay attention to Shen Lingxi. She just glanced at Shen Lingxi and turned around to sit down. After Shen Lingxi and Yue Hanzhou looked at each other, they put on a fake smile again and stretched out their hands.

"Fifth sister, if you don't drink this wine, I'm afraid your fourth sister's wedding will not go smoothly. We are sisters, you don't really miss your fourth sister's future..."

"Yan'er doesn't drink, so I'll drink this wine. I will definitely not make Fourth Sister's life difficult."

Shen Yunzhi reached out to take the wine glass, but Shen Lingxi dodged it.

"I know you mean well, but you drink, you drink, and Fifth Sister drinks, Fifth Sister drinks. How can we mix them up? Fifth Sister, don't drink too much, just a small sip, otherwise General Yue will lose face. So many people are watching today."

"Shen Lingxi, take your wine glass and get out of here, or don't blame me for losing face."

Shen Nanyan's face was calm, but what she said made Shen Lingxi's face change instantly. If this wasn't at Yue's house, Shen Lingxi really wanted to slap Shen Nanyan in the face.

"Normally, Fifth Sister doesn't like us sisters to get close. I wanted to take advantage of Fourth Sister's wedding today to bring us sisters closer, but I didn't expect Fifth Sister to be so distant from us. It really wasted my sincerity. Since Fifth Sister doesn't want to get close to us, I won't force it."

Shen Lingxi said that she was not embarrassed and seemed to turn around and leave, but the next second her feet slipped, her body tilted, and the wine glass in her hand fell out, and all the wine in it poured onto Shen Nanyan.

"Oh, what should I do? I... I didn't mean to do that. This cloak was given to me by my grandmother. It's so precious. Fifth sister, please don't be angry with me. I've been standing for so long that my legs are no longer under my control. I should go change my clothes."

"Go away."

Caifu hurriedly cleaned Shen Nanyan's clothes. Shen Nanyan sat upright without moving, but opened her thin lips and uttered two words.

"Did you bring any clothes? Go change, or you'll be uncomfortable smelling of alcohol."

"It's okay if you don't have any clothes. Fourth sister must have some. I'll take you to find her."

Shen Lingxi still didn't leave and was very nervous about helping Shen Nanyan.

"I won't bother Fourth Sister anymore. I'm going home."

When Yue Hanzhou heard that Shen Nanyan was leaving, he became anxious. He had finally tricked Shen Nanyan here, so how could he let her leave? It was not easy to enter his Yue family.

"How about this, let the maid take you to the warm room in the back first. I'll have someone get some clothes and send them to you. This way you don't have to make a trip and won't bother anyone."

Shen Yunzhi looked up in the direction Yue Hanzhou pointed.

"That's fine too. I'll be with you and guard the door for you. Just relax."

"It's right in front of us. Commander Shen is being too cautious. Just let the maid accompany him. If something really happens, just shout and everyone in the yard will hear it."

Shen Nanyan naturally wanted Shen Yunzhi to accompany her, but she was worried that Shen Yunzhi would be looked down upon and said that he was not free and easy enough, so she spoke.

"It's okay, brother is waiting for me here."

In the end, Caifu accompanied Shen Nanyan to the warm room. Yue Hanzhou immediately arranged for someone to get clothes for Shen Nanyan. Shen Lingxi sat back down, but her eyes were filled with excitement.

The one who took Shen Nanyan to the warm room was a chubby maid. She looked innocent and as heartless as Caifu. She was also very cheerful. She quickly became familiar with Caifu on the way and took out a winter melon candy from her purse and gave it to Caifu. Although Caifu was used to eating snacks in Piaoxiang Pavilion on weekdays, she was embarrassed to refuse the little maid's kindness. Shen Nanyan was about to take a look at the winter melon candy in her hand, but she had already stuffed it into her mouth.

In addition to the warm charcoal fire in the warm room, there were also many uncommon flowers. Shen Nanyan stopped at the door.

"Ms. Shen, please come in. It's windy outside and might hurt you."

“Why are there so many flowers in this room?”

Shen Nanyan didn't say anything, but Caifu asked first.

"There are a lot of guests today, and we're worried some ladies might need some rest, so we've put extra flowers in the warm room. I heard the warm room for the male guests over there has a lot of books in it, so we're just catering to their preferences."

The fragrance in the room was very strong. Shen Nanyan sniffed it carefully for a long time but couldn't tell what was wrong. However, she didn't feel any discomfort after standing there for a while, so she walked in.

"Miss, please sit down. I'll get you some hot water to clean your hands and wipe off the wine stains on your clothes. Otherwise, it will be difficult to wash them when you get home."

The fat maid loved to laugh, and her eyes were always curved, which made people feel good about her. Shen Nanyan nodded, and the fat maid went out.

Not long after they left the house, a scream was heard outside the door. The master and servant looked at each other. Caifu hurried out to see what was happening, and Shen Nanyan also followed them out and stood in the corridor.

It turned out that the fat maid had fallen in the snow and was lying on the ground grimacing, looking seriously injured. Caifu had already run over, and Shen Nanyan was about to go over when the fat maid hurriedly spoke.

"Miss Shen, please don't go there. It's slippery. I'm fine. I can just get up."

Shen Nanyan barely stopped walking, and Caifu helped the fat maid to stand up. However, when she stood up, she found that her feet were injured and she couldn't even touch the ground, let alone walk. Shen Nanyan raised her foot again and wanted to go over to take a look at her. Who wouldn't like such a smiling maid?

"Miss, please don't come over here because the roads are slippery in the snow. I just twisted my ankle. I'll be fine if I go back to ask Madam for a dose of medicine. But I'm afraid I can't walk back. Could you please ask your maid to help me? It's not far, just past the woods over there."

Shen Nanyan looked up and saw that the distance was indeed not far, but she was injured and it was impossible for her to go there by herself.

"Caifu, then go ahead."

"I'll go find the second young master to look after the young lady first."

After all, this is not the Shen Mansion. Caifu always keeps Shen Nanyan's affairs in mind. She is naturally worried about leaving Shen Nanyan here alone.

"No need, just go and come back quickly."

"Okay, then, run faster. Miss, please go inside. It's very windy outside."

Shen Nanyan nodded and watched the two turn around and leave before she went into the house. It was indeed a bit cold outside, but sitting by the fire warmed her whole body. Besides, there was no one else in the warm room, so it was much more comfortable than going to a banquet.
