Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter
Chapter 208 Shen Zongyuan's Envy
Looking at the two of them being affectionate with each other, Shen Rongying sat aside calmly, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
Lu, who followed them in, glanced at Shen Rongying, sneered, and walked directly to the bed. Seeing how much Yue Hanzhou loved his daughter, the smile on her face became even more intense.
"You are the only one who feels sorry for Xi'er. Now Xi'er is injured, and there is not a single doctor in the mansion to treat her. My poor daughter, how could she have such a miserable life?"
Mrs. Lu flicked her handkerchief to wipe away her non-existent tears. Yue Hanzhou became furious when he heard this.
"Where exactly is he injured? How come there isn't even a doctor in such a big mansion?"
"Alas, it's all my fault for spoiling my illegitimate sons and daughters too much. That's why they are so presumptuous. It's my fault that Xi'er has been harmed."
"Shu...you said it was Shen Nanyan who beat Xi'er?"
"That's right. We couldn't stop her. The maids and old women were all beaten to pieces. Strangely enough, that damned girl had something in her hand. It must be a hidden weapon. It's very powerful. Not to mention us, even General Yue might not be her match."
"What hidden weapon is so powerful?"
"It's just... uh... I can't really explain it, but it looks really impressive."
Yue Hanzhou lowered his eyes thoughtfully, his mind was blank. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out what the hidden weapon was, so he turned his gaze to Shen Lingxi again.
"It doesn't matter if there's no doctor in the house. I'll invite a doctor from outside to treat you. You can rest assured that I'm here."
"it is good."
Afterwards, Yue Hanzhou did what he said and immediately sent someone to spend a lot of money to invite a doctor from outside. He also accompanied Shen Lingxi to take the medicine. Only after she fell asleep did Yue Hanzhou get up and prepare to leave.
He didn't say a word to Shen Rongying the whole time, as if she didn't exist.
Yue Hanzhou stopped walking out of the room and turned to look at Mrs. Lu with a serious expression.
"Is the hidden weapon Madam mentioned real?"
"It's absolutely true. Lingxi and I both saw it with our own eyes. It was a small black object, held in our hands from... quite a distance, almost as far as here and the courtyard gate, and it could have hurt someone. Just imagine, it must have been terrifying. Otherwise, how could Xi'er have been injured so badly?"
"Okay, don't tell anyone about this for now. I'll keep Xi'er's matter in mind."
"Okay, Han Zhou, Xi'er... With the Lu family in this state, the only person Xi'er can rely on is you. You must not abandon her!"
"Don't worry, madam."
This is indeed what Yue Hanzhou really thinks. Even though his heart is still thinking about Shen Nanyan, it does not prevent him from wanting to marry Shen Lingxi the most.
After leaving Huayue Pavilion, Yue Hanzhou asked Shen Rongying to wait for him in the carriage, and he went to Shen Nanyue's courtyard. However, Nanny Yuan was guarding the door herself and did not let him take a step in. Knowing that Shen Nanyue was not in the mansion, Yue Hanzhou no longer wanted to go in, and waited in the garden, on the road that Shen Nanyue had to take to return to the courtyard.
Although Lu talked for a long time but could not describe what the hidden weapon was, if he had such a powerful hidden weapon, he would have the opportunity to ask for credit from the emperor. Yue Hanzhou liked these political schemes more than being a general.
Right now, because of Lu Jiusi's two victories, Nanling Kingdom is at peace and there is no chance for him to win merits. However, the new emperor has ascended the throne and he needs assistants. Yue Hanzhou feels that this will be his best chance. As long as he can stand beside the emperor, it is only a matter of time before he is promoted.
Shen Nanyan and Aunt Su were taken to the Su family by Su Xinyuan at noon today because it was her aunt Yao Susu's birthday and the family was reunited.
But what was unexpected was that before the dinner started, Shen Zongyuan, who was supposed to receive his son-in-law at home, also came. Over the years, Shen and Su had never had any intersection. Shen Zongyuan would never even mention the Su family before, but today he came with a small gift, saying that he was worried about them mother and daughter going out, so he came to take them back home. But since he had come to the door and brought gifts, the Su family could not say anything. What's more, Aunt Su was still in the Shen family, so no matter how the family felt, they still happily invited her to stay for dinner together.
It was also because of Yao Susu's birthday that Lu Jiusi had Su Xinrong sent back early. In addition, everyone knew about the affair between cousin Cao Luqiao and Zhou Qi, so Zhou Qi also came to the Su family today. There were more than a dozen people in the family, and they filled a large table. It was even more lively than the Chinese New Year. Aunt Yao Susu and aunt Su Yinghe were both cheerful people, so the dinner table was even more lively!
Shen Zongyuan ate silently, his eyes indeed swept across everyone's faces from time to time, with envy hidden deep in his eyes. Aunt Su turned her head and saw the fine lines at the corners of Shen Zongyuan's eyes. At this moment, she felt a little sorry for this man. Her soft little hand gently grabbed Shen Zongyuan's big hand. The two smiled at each other, and no one spoke, but Shen Zongyuan knew that Aunt Su understood what he was thinking.
At the dinner table, the topic everyone talked about the most was cousin Cao Luqiao and Zhou Qi. Zhou Qi said on the spot that he would marry Cao Luqiao this year. He also raised his glass to toast Su Yinghe and asked her to hand over her daughter to him. Su Yinghe was also a straightforward person. She nodded with red eyes, which made Cao Luqiao blush.
It was already dark when they returned to the mansion. Shen Yunzhi drank some wine and was kept by Su Zhaoyu. Shen Nanyue went back to the Shen family with Shen Zongyuan and Aunt Su. In the carriage, Shen Zongyuan kept holding Aunt Su's hand and suddenly became sentimental. So after entering the mansion, the two went to Qingyun Pavilion together, and Shen Nanyue returned to the courtyard alone.
"Tomorrow, you should go out early with Uncle Yi and deliver the prepared things to the various mansions. Don't deliver the Fan Mansion yet. The princess and I will go together the day after tomorrow."
"Miss, are I also the one who delivers the goods to the palace?"
"Yes, just give it to the butler. You don't have to see the prince. Are you afraid?"
"That's not the case. I just feel... I just feel that the prince saved the young lady in the Yue Mansion incident. Not only did the young lady not thank him, she even bit him. I see that the young lady hasn't shown any intention of thanking him in the past few days. Why not take the opportunity to go over and give him a New Year's gift? Otherwise, if the prince gets angry, he'll inevitably vent his anger on the Second Young Master."
"What? He...he dares. I, I offended him. Why does he take his anger out on my brother?"
Although she said this, Shen Nanyue knew in her heart that nothing was impossible. She tried her best to protect Shen Yunzhi in this life. It can be said that Shen Yunzhi was her weakness. If Lu Jiusi really wanted to control her, he would start with Shen Yunzhi.
"Put some more things in the box at the palace later. Put some good things in it. It won't make him angry anymore if he gives me a valuable gift."
Caifu covered her mouth and laughed. Her young lady always spoke hard but was soft-hearted.
"When it comes to the Second Young Master, even the most stubborn lady will bend down."
"You damn Caifu, you're making fun of me!"
The master and servant were laughing and joking happily on the road. Yue Hanzhou felt softened when he heard Shen Nanyue's laughter. He even almost forgot the purpose of waiting here.
Caifu was sharp-eyed and spotted Yue Hanzhou blocking the road at a glance, so she immediately stopped laughing and quickly walked in front of Shen Nanyue to block her. She looked at Yue Hanzhou with deep disgust and nausea.
