Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

The room was quiet for a moment. Mrs. Lu stood up and walked towards Shen Nanyan. Aunt Su hurriedly grabbed Shen Nanyan, trying to hide her behind her, but Shen Nanyan's small body did not move, and she did not show any fear.

The smile on Lu's face was so gloomy that it made people feel afraid.

"Husband... Madam..."

Aunt Su's heart was in her throat.

"Hush... What's the point of begging now? You know I'm petty and can't keep things to myself overnight. Since Miss Fifth refuses to leave, don't regret it later."

"Madam, Yan... Miss Fifth is young. What's the matter..."

Shen Nanyan grabbed Aunt Su who was about to kneel down.

"Mom, don't be afraid. She can't do anything to me."

"Heh... you're so stubborn. It seems my pampering of you over the years has made you lose your sense of self. Madam Cheng, the Fifth Miss contradicted the Mistress. Give her a good beating."

"Yes."

There was excitement in Nanny Cheng's voice, and she immediately rolled up her sleeves and prepared to get started.

Aunt Su held Shen Nanyan tightly and refused to let go. Lu's men rushed forward and tried to separate Aunt Su and Shen Nanyan. Aunt Shen was pressed to the ground by a group of old women, and Shen Nanyan was also pulled away, waiting for Nanny Cheng to attack her from both sides.

But there was no fear on Shen Nanyan's face. Nanny Cheng used all her strength, swung her arm hard, and hit him hard.

"Snapped!"

The slap was particularly loud in the quiet night.

"Cheng... Madam Cheng...what are you doing?"

Nanny Cheng slapped the maid who was holding Shen Nanyue directly in the face. The maid's face instantly became red and swollen like a steamed cake. Nanny Cheng looked at her slap, completely confused about what was going on.

"I...I didn't mean to hit you. Maybe you were standing too close to me, you little bitch. Stand further away."

Nanny Cheng raised her voice to give herself courage, then swung her arm again, this time using all her strength, but the fat slap still landed on the maid's face. The maid's mouth corner was bleeding, and tears were streaming down her face.

"What's going on? I was clearly going to hit Miss Five, so why…"

"Madam Cheng, are you too old and your eyesight is blurry? You can't even do this little thing. Madam Qi, please come."

"Yes, ma'am."

A mean-looking, skinny woman came over and glanced at Nanny Cheng with a smug look on her face. She first reached out to pull Shen Nanyan's body closer, then raised her hand and hit her little face at a very close distance, but this time the same thing happened.

When Aunt Qi's hand was about to touch Shen Nanyue, her palm fell on the maid's face in a strange way. The maid couldn't bear it at all and burst into tears.

Mrs. Lu, who was standing by, saw it all clearly, but she couldn't help feeling uneasy. She looked up and began to look around. She would rather believe that someone was hiding here to help the mother and daughter.

It has to be said that she guessed right, but it was a pity that the one who helped Shen Nanyue was not a human, but a ghost.

So after looking for a long time and not understanding anything, I became even angrier.

"Both of you, come at me! Aunt Su is a bad mother, and Miss Fifth is talking back to the mistress. Beat them both!"

Suddenly there was a commotion in the room. Aunt Su cried and begged Mrs. Lu, while Shen Nanyue remained motionless, looking at Mrs. Lu provocatively, which made Mrs. Lu even more angry.

"Beat her to death, a mere concubine's daughter, what are you capable of? How dare you look at the mistress like that? You are truly lawless! Beating you to death is as easy as stepping on an ant. Don't think your death will cause any waves. You two, a pair of lowly mother and daughter, are..."

"stop!"

Shen Zongyuan's voice suddenly appeared in the room, scaring Lu so much that she almost fell off her chair.

At this time, Aunt Su's hair had been pulled into a mess, and Shen Nanyan had changed in the blink of an eye. Her clothes were tattered, her face was red and blue, and her shoes were nowhere to be found.

When Shen Zongyuan came closer and took a look, the surprise on his face was beyond words. He wanted to touch Shen Nanyue's cheek with trembling hands, but he didn't know how to start. The old women and maids beside him were also at a loss. They were just pulling each other just now and no one did anything. How could the mother and daughter become like this in the blink of an eye?

"Look at what you've done. In the middle of the night, the mistress of the main house brought... brought this bunch of servants who took advantage of their power to bully the concubine and her daughter. Mrs. Lu, this is my concubine, this is my child. Do you have any respect for me at all? How could you beat the child like this? Are you evil?"

"Master, it's not that I want to punish them, it's really... it's really that Yan'er is being too unreasonable. I don't know where she saw this fashionable material, but she insisted that I buy it for her. I thought of putting it off for a few days and buying it for her after I collected the rent, but she wouldn't give in. So I got so angry that I asked Madam Cheng to scare her."

It has to be said that Mrs. Lu's mind was very quick. In such a short time, she had already come up with an excuse and pushed the blame onto Shen Nanyan. Anyway, Shen Nanyan liked to wear gold and silver jewelry, so it was reasonable for her to say whatever she wanted.

"Are you trying to scare her? Didn't you just say that beating her to death would be like stepping on an ant? You're going to kill her. And the servants in this yard, are you Su Yi Niang's people or Lu's people? They've been beaten like this, and not only did you not ask me for help, you even helped bully them. Who has the final say in this family?"

"Daddy, please save my aunt. Except for Sister Yulan, all the others in this courtyard belong to my wife. Their indentures are in my wife's hands, and they only listen to my wife on weekdays. My aunt hasn't seen any meat for several months. Every time the kitchen sends food, it is their leftovers that they bring to my aunt. Many times, my aunt couldn't stand the hunger and had to pick leaves in the garden to eat. Daddy, my aunt didn't come from a high family and came to the Shen family because of debts, but she also gave birth to a pair of children for you. Please, Daddy, have pity on my aunt. Yan'er doesn't want to be without an aunt in the future. Please, Daddy."

Shen Nanyan fell to the ground and kowtowed to Shen Zongyuan repeatedly. Shen Zongyuan's heart was broken. He didn't care what happened to Aunt Su. After all, Shen Nanyan was his daughter, and now she was crying like this. As a father, how could he not be moved.

Shen Zongyuan hurriedly pulled Shen Nanyue up and gently rubbed her forehead with his big hands.

"Shunxi, find the housekeeper immediately and sell off all these bullying maids. My Shen family cannot tolerate such evil people."

"Yes, sir."

"Master, you... these women are all elders in the family. If you send them away now, have you ever thought about what others will do to our Shen family?"

Those who could be arranged to come here were all servants trained by the Lu family for many years. Naturally, she did not want her previous efforts to go to waste.

"Mrs. Lu, either they were betrayed because they bullied their master, or this is a tactic used by you, the mistress, to deliberately oppress your concubines. Your choice."

"This... I, Master, you know me well. Not only your concubines, but even these children, I take good care of them. How dare I neglect them in the slightest? Saying... saying that I'm bullying my concubines is an injustice to me. How could you treat me like this, Master?"

In fact, Shen Zongyuan knew the reason, but in order to save the Shen family's face, he could not do anything to Lu, not to mention that Lu still had her mother's family behind her, so he could only take action against these evil slaves. This could be regarded as saving Lu's face, but Lu did not want to suffer any loss, and actually started to sob and drop golden beans.
