Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Since the emperor had issued an order for this matter, it must be of great importance. Shen Zongyuan's timidity also made Shen Lingxi feel relieved. As long as Shen Zongyuan did not let Shen Yunzhi continue to defend himself and what he said was the only truth, then the fact that Shen Nanyan had become a slut would be confirmed. She would then discuss with Yue Hanzhou and ask Shen Zongyuan to send Shen Nanyan to the Yue family as a concubine. In this way, all the annoying people in the Shen family would leave, and the Shen family would become the world of them, mother and daughter.

"Since the emperor has issued such an order, we should stop talking about it, lest we be executed along with our entire clan. This is no small matter."

"Well, don't say it."

Lu made the suggestion and Shen Zongyuan agreed, fearing that the whole family would be ruined if he was not careful.

"But if we don't ask clearly, won't Yan'er's innocence be lost?"

How could Aunt Su agree to say nothing? Did her daughter do what Shen Lingxi said?

"Needless to say, Yan'er has already gotten pregnant with her brother-in-law in front of so many people... Anyway, it's already been done. Now all we can do is find a date and send a sedan chair to the Yue family. I just don't know if Madam Yue will accept it. After all, it's not a glorious thing. Sigh, we'll be embarrassed too. Why don't I go meet Madam Yue tomorrow and feel her out."

Mrs. Lu had a hypocritically charitable look on her face, as if she really cared about Shen Nanyan, but the old lady who had been silent all the time closed her eyes and spoke softly.

"Yunzhi, you say."

"Mother, you...you let Yun Zhi...that's a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of all nine generations of your family. Do you think our Shen family will be ruined like this?"

"Madam Yin, take all the servants out. You will guard the door yourself and not allow anyone to approach."

"Yes."

"This is about the Shen family and their children. If we, as elders, don't even know the truth and just blindly send Yan'er to be a concubine, how can we be considered elders? Only a few of us know about this. If anyone wants to wipe out the Shen family, go ahead and tell them. I've had enough of life anyway."

It's not that the old lady is not afraid of death, but over time, she has gotten to know Shen Nanyan more and more. She can't associate what Shen Lingxi described with Shen Nanyan no matter what.

"Old lady, you have lived enough, but what about Lingxi, Yunyi, and these children? Do you want to watch them die in front of you?"

"As long as you and your daughter don't tell anyone, I can ensure the safety of the Shen family."

"Grandma, do you mean you don't trust me and mother?"

"If I believed you, I wouldn't risk wiping out my entire clan just to hear the truth."

"grandmother……"

"Alright, let's do as your grandmother wishes, Yunzhi, go ahead."

Shen Yunzhi smiled, and this smile was full of contempt.

To be honest, even without the old lady's support, he would have said it. How could he let Shen Lingxi discredit his sister like this? The key is that he wants to send Shen Nanyan to the Yue family. Shen Yunzhi is increasingly convinced that all this is a conspiracy by the Lu mother and daughter.

"Today Yue..."

"Shen Yunzhi!"

Shen Lingxi roared and looked at Shen Yunzhi viciously. Shen Yunzhi glanced at her sideways for a moment and continued.

"In the Yue family's warm room, someone was having an affair. Shen Lingxi said in front of everyone that the person in the room was Yan'er. She also specifically mentioned that Yan'er had not yet reached the age of marriage, and also talked about bullying the legitimate son and daughter and contradicting the mistress."

"Yan'er has done all these things, Miss, why do you want to slander Yan'er in front of outsiders? She is your sister."

Aunt Su's tears burst out instantly.

"I...I didn't...I didn't say anything."

Shen Lingxi was completely panicked and began to stutter.

"She even added fuel to the fire by asking General Yue to open the door, hoping that everyone would see Yan'er's appearance. Unfortunately, the people in the room were not as she wished. The two people inside were the Third Prince Lu Yichen and Yue Hanzhou. Even the Emperor was stunned."

"What? Three..."

When Mrs. Lu heard that it was the third prince, she immediately turned around and looked at Shen Lingxi. If the third prince had a preference for Long Yang, then Shen Lingxi would have to stay alone in the empty room.

"It's such a shameful thing! No wonder the Emperor ordered that no one should spread it. It's too horrifying. This is a royal scandal. I dare not speak of it, and I must never mention it again."

Shen Zongyuan broke out in cold sweat after hearing this.

"If Yan'er hadn't been wrongly accused, my son wouldn't have wanted to say anything."

"If you don't tell me, you'll be slandered and sent to the Yue family as a concubine. Your life will be ruined. Mrs. Lu, you're such a cunning person!"

Before the old lady finished speaking, Aunt Su had already collapsed. It seemed to be just a false accusation, but it could ruin her daughter's life.

"Miss, you have such a cruel heart!"

"Snapped!"

Shen Lingxi was about to say something, but was slapped in the face by Shen Zongyuan. Shen Zongyuan used a lot of strength in this slap, and Shen Lingxi fell to the ground.

"Master, how could you attack Xi'er?"

"When they go out, they represent the Shen family. She actually slandered Yan'er to discredit the Shen family. With such ill intentions, a slap in the face would be too light a punishment."

"But...but in the end, things are not as she said. It wasn't Yan'er in that warm room. Yan'er is fine, and the Shen family's reputation is not damaged. Nothing happened. Why did you hit her? She is the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. When has she ever suffered such injustice?"

"Then what do you mean? She framed Yan'er in public, ruined Yan'er's reputation, and brought shame to the Shen family. Are you pretending that nothing happened? She clearly knew everything about the Yue Mansion, so why did she continue to slander Yan'er after returning home? You even suggested sending Yan'er to be a concubine. If it weren't for Yun Zhi, would we have really believed her and ruined Yan'er?"

"Xi'er just...she drank today and her mind wasn't clear, so she misremembered the Yue family's affairs. If she didn't mean to slander Yan'er, then I don't know the truth. I just thought Yan'er and Yue Hanzhou were already husband and wife, so I said I was sending her away. I did it for her!"

"Yes, Dad, I drank some wine. I don't know what happened in the warm room afterwards. I just remember that my fifth sister got her dress dirty and went to change in the warm room. Dad, I didn't mean it. Besides, if my fifth sister really did something shameful like this, I would be embarrassed. How could I have intentionally embarrassed her? I didn't."

"You know whether you have it or not, Mrs. Lu, take your daughter and go back."

"master."

"You mother and daughter, don't show up in front of me, get out!"

Shen Lingxi opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Mrs. Lu. The mother and daughter supported each other and quickly retreated.

Shen Zongyuan fell into the chair and looked at Aunt Su with eyes full of guilt. He thought that after these children went out, they would at least support each other because they all had the surname Shen. He didn't expect that they would still be so incompatible. He disappointed Aunt Su again.

After the old lady left, Aunt Su walked up to Shen Zongyuan. She didn't say anything, but just took Shen Zongyuan's hand back to her own yard. There were some things that Shen Zongyuan couldn't raise his head even if Aunt Su didn't mention a word.
