Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Fortunately, the pool was just where Shen Lingxi grew flowers, so it was not deep. After Lu fell in, she stood up instantly. Her dress was covered with mud, and her makeup was smudged. She looked terrifying.

Nanny Zhao hurriedly asked someone to help Lu out. Lu was shivering with cold, but none of the masters in the yard spoke a word. It was Nanny Zhao who asked someone to prepare hot water for Lu to wash. Lu gritted her teeth, raised her trembling finger and pointed at Shen Zongyuan, then turned around and pointed at Shen Nanyue.

"You two, father and daughter...you want to kill us!"

"Who wants to take your life? If you hadn't been so reckless and attacked the old lady, how could I treat you like this? Mrs. Lu, I'm warning you, if you dare to touch the old lady again, I, Shen Zongyuan, will divorce you even if I don't care about my dignity."

"Haha... Divorce me, if you dare to divorce me, I will ruin your reputation, ruin your career, and make your entire Shen family suffer..."

"Why do you do that?"

Outside the door, Shen Yunzhi came in wearing a black robe. His tall and slender figure, with a face as gentle as jade, made him look even more noble.

"Who am I to ask questions like this? Who do you think you are? Do you think you are so great just because you have been with the Regent for a few days? You are just a mere governor, and you think you are some high-ranking official."

"Yes, I am only a fifth-rank governor. How can I compare to the might of Lord Lu, a sixth-rank official of the Ministry of Personnel?"

"What? You, you, you...what did you say? Sixth...Sixth Rank Official? How is that possible? Don't talk nonsense. My brother will strangle you to death. It's as easy as strangling an ant."

"Lü Senquan allowed his son to bully men and women, abuse his power, and embezzle imperial funds. Yesterday, the Emperor ordered him to be demoted to the rank of Sixth-Rank Official. He is no longer even eligible to see the Emperor."

After hearing what Shen Yunzhi said, the stunned Mrs. Lu's legs went weak and she fainted. Nanny Zhao didn't hold her up and could only watch Mrs. Lu fall to the ground.

Shen Zongyuan sighed deeply, turned around and scolded the old woman who was watching the fun in the corridor.

"Are you blind? My wife has fainted, and you still don't help her in. Do you think you'll be happy only if you sell all of you off?"

A group of old women and maids rushed over to carry Lu into the house, and the yard became quiet in an instant.

"Yan'er, don't be angry. Go in and see your sister first. She's bleeding a lot, and the doctor can't diagnose anything."

"Yes, Daddy and Grandma, don't worry. I will do my best to save Big Sister."

"Good boy, come in quickly."

The shrew-like Lu made Shen Nanyan look even more obedient. Shen Zongyuan's eyes were full of satisfaction, but Shen Nanyan, who passed by Shen Zongyuan, walked into the house with a mocking look on her face.

As soon as she entered the room, she was greeted by a strong smell of blood. Shen Nanyan went straight to the inner room. Shen Lingxi, who was lying on the bed, stood up immediately when she saw Shen Nanyan coming in.

"Bitch, you still dare to come here, get out!"

"You think I want to come, but Daddy specifically asked me to come and treat you. Big sister, you'd better be obedient, otherwise I might make your leg crippled."

"You...I don't want you to heal me. I'd rather die than have you heal me. Get out! Get out now."

"Don't be so angry. If you beg me, I might be willing to help you heal it. After all, we are sisters. You have taken care of me for so many years. Now it's my turn to take good care of you. Come on, sister, don't move, otherwise I will accidentally tear the wound bigger, and that will be terrible."

"go away!"

Shen Lingxi suddenly raised her voice, pulled Shen Nanyan's hand away like crazy, and threw the pillow out, but Shen Nanyan dodged it sideways. Shen Lingxi, who was so angry, picked up the bowl of medicine she had just drunk and smashed it directly on Shen Nanyan's forehead. This time Shen Nanyan did not dodge and let the small bowl hit her head.

"what are you doing?"

Shen Zongyuan came in first and saw the small bowl flying towards Shen Nanyan. When Shen Yunzhi came in, it was too late to stop it, so he could only step forward and check Shen Nanyan's forehead.

Shen Nanyan covered her head with her hands and refused to let go, but blood still seeped out from between her green fingers.

"Be good, show it to your brother, Yan'er..."

"What happened to Yan'er? Huh?"

Aunt Su came in with the old lady, and when she saw Shen Nanyue covering her forehead, she immediately became nervous.

"Quick, let Grandma take a look. The wound... this... is bleeding. What should we do? Aunt Yin, quickly, ask the doctor to come back."

"Grandma, Aunt Yin, no need, no need. I can treat myself. It shouldn't be serious."

Shen Nanyan then let go of her hand, and blood immediately flowed down her cheek, which showed how much effort Shen Lingxi had put in.

"So much blood, Yan'er..."

Aunt Su's eyes instantly turned red.

"Aunt, it's okay. I'd better check on Big Sister's injury first."

Shen Nanyan wiped the blood off her face and was about to walk towards the bed when Shen Yunzhi grabbed her.

"She injured you, and you still want to heal her, Yan'er, are you stupid?"

"Brother, I naturally know that it was Big Sister who hurt me, but Big Sister is a patient now, so it's natural that she's in a bad mood. Besides, Big Sister is also Daddy's daughter, and the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. Daddy is heartbroken when she gets into trouble. I'm helping Big Sister heal, and I'm also helping Daddy share his worries."

"I don't want you, Shen Nanyan, you bitch. If it weren't for you, how could I have been injured? Daddy, Grandma, it was really Shen Nanyan who beat me like this. Believe me, she was just acting, pretending to be innocent. Don't be fooled by her."

"I don't know whether your sister is pretending or not. I only saw you murdering Yan'er."

"Just like your mother, she always pushes things onto Yan'er. As soon as it got dark, Yan'er came to my yard and had dinner with me without even leaving the door. How could she hit you? Besides, you and your mother are surrounded by a bunch of maids, how could you let a skinny and weak girl like her get close to you? It's all nonsense."

"Grandma, you... Shen Nanyan, tell me in front of Daddy and Grandma, did you hit me? Tell me, tell me!"

No one believed Shen Lingxi. She became more hysterical, lying on the bed and roaring. Her ferocious face looked like an angry tiger. Shen Nanyan had a calm expression, but her eyes were dodging, as if she was very afraid of Shen Lingxi.

"Big...Big sister, I really don't know what you're talking about. Can you let me take a look at your injuries first?"

"Master, Miss's injury is beyond the reach of our Yan'er, who is not a skilled doctor. I will take Yan'er back to bandage her wound first."

After Aunt Su finished speaking, she pulled Shen Nanyan out the door.

This was also the first time that Aunt Su rejected Shen Zongyuan's suggestion in such a firm attitude.

Shen Nanyan put aside her past grudges and followed Shen Zongyuan's instructions to treat Shen Lingxi, but in the end she was beaten. Even if her daughter was a concubine, she could not bear to be bullied like this.
