Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

"Master Shen!"

This slap was just seen by General Yue who came in. General Yue was naturally unwilling to see someone hitting his own son, and his face changed instantly.

Shen Zongyuan withdrew his hand, turned around and sat back, then spoke.

"General Yue is a good parent!"

General Yue glanced at Yue Hanzhou and sat down without waiting for Shen Zongyuan to call him.

"What does this mean, Lord Shen?"

"Young Master Yue was so brazen! He took all his clothes from my Shen's house and walked around in the backyard openly. If the housekeeper hadn't patrolled at night with his servants, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been discovered. It's freezing cold out here. If he froze to death in my Shen's house, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to clear my name in front of the emperor!"

"What...what...go away..."

General Yue immediately turned his head to look at Yue Hanzhou, his eyes full of disbelief. He naturally knew what kind of person his son was. Although his son had some unknown dirty deeds like himself, he would not be so ostentatious, just like he would not look at Shen Rongying directly in the daytime, but that did not prevent him from going to Shen Rongying's room at night. There are some things that can be done but cannot be said. Yue Hanzhou also understood this, not to mention that this was in someone else's house, doing so would be too bold.

"Dad, no, I was framed."

"Who?"

"It was Shen Nanyan. She knocked my son unconscious, and then...she stripped my son and his men naked..."

"Yan'er, a girl who hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet, was able to knock out several of you strong men and even strip you naked without caring about your reputation. Yue Hanzhou, even if you framed me, some people might believe you. But do you think it's justifiable to frame Yan'er?"

"If you dare mention Yan'er's name again, I'll blow up your Yue Mansion!"

Shen Zongyuan and Shen Yunzhi were particularly disgusted with Yue Hanzhou mentioning Shen Nanyue. Shen Yunzhi was also desperate. Even if it cost him his life, he would make Yue Hanzhou shut up.

Hearing Shen Yunzhi say that he had blown up Yue Mansion, General Yue frowned. He had also heard about Shen Yunzhi and Lu Jiusi going to war. Moreover, Shen Yunzhi was the first to lead the charge in every battle. It was self-evident how powerful he was. If he did not have some skills, it would be impossible for him to lead the charge without losing his life every time. Therefore, the bombing that Shen Yunzhi mentioned was definitely not a trivial matter.

"Han Zhou is not an ignorant child anymore. This kind of thing will not only damage the reputation of the Yue family, but also bring no benefit to him. So he won't do such a thing to ruin his reputation. Regardless of what happened, it is he who made this embarrassing mistake. My Yue family is in the wrong. I understand that Lord Shen is angry, but our two families are relatives after all. We are a family behind closed doors. Moreover, if this matter gets out, it will be difficult for both of us to live. It is better for Lord Shen to calm down so that I can take Han Zhou back and give him a good lecture. Fortunately, no one else in the mansion saw it. It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. Lord Shen, please forgive me!"

It was inevitable that General Yue would say this. What else could he do? He had already beaten the man, and he couldn't just hand him over to the government office. However, Shen Zongyuan was always filled with anger, and it was really uncomfortable to hold it in his heart.

"Our two families have just become relatives, and we can't let anything go wrong now. Otherwise, everyone in the capital will laugh at our families. Don't worry, brother Shen. I will definitely discipline him when I get back. If something like this happens again, I will beat him to death without you having to say anything."

"Alas... take him away. Even though he's a relative, tell him to come less often in the future. My house can't stand this kind of thing."

"That's great. Brother Shen, take a rest. We'll take our leave now."

General Yue immediately stood up and motioned Yue Hanzhou to leave, but Yue Hanzhou still wanted to argue for himself.

"go!"

General Yue lowered his voice and growled, which frightened Yue Hanzhou so much that he hurried to catch up, and the father and son left quickly.

Not until he got on the carriage did Yue Hanzhou dare to tell the old general what happened tonight. The old general looked at Yue Hanzhou with suspicion in his eyes.

"It's already this late, we're just father and son, and you're still lying."

"I didn't lie, why doesn't Dad believe me?"

"How can I believe that Shen Nanyan, a little girl, knocked down you... five or six of you big men? You dare to say such words? I dare not listen. Well, even if it is true, you guys were knocked down and stripped by a girl. Isn't it shameful? If you tell it at the Shen family today, even if you are right, it will still be shameful. Shameful!"

So no matter what the truth of the matter is, Yue Hanzhou cannot pursue it, because he is neither a good person nor a bad person.

"Dad, Shen Nanyan is really different."

"She is indeed different, and more beautiful than her two sisters. However, on the day of your wedding, the Emperor seemed quite interested in her. You should not act rashly for the time being."

"Your Majesty...this...son wants to bring her into the palace and make her a puppet like her sister."

"If you can present her to the emperor, our Yue family will have more than just the present glory."

"Well... I'll think of a way. Even if the emperor wants it, it would be much more convenient than what we want."

The father and son have very similar personalities. They both did a lot of shady things in private, but they pretended to be gentlemen on the surface. In the eyes of outsiders, they all thought that the Yue family was a loyal, upright and righteous family, but in fact they were extremely bad inside.

On the other side, in Shen Nanyan's yard, the lights were still on, and there were several large boxes of things in the room. Nanny Yuan said that they were sent by Princess Chunxi, and there were more than that. There were also many in the front yard, but these boxes were specially sent to Shen Nanyan's yard.

Shen Nanyan was very confused. They had clearly agreed to go to the Fan family in the next two days to give something to Fan Yujun, so why did he give something to her first? It was fine if he was giving it to her, but he was giving something from the mansion. This was not just a gift between daughters. When Shen Nanyan opened the box, a letter caught her eye.

"Everyone says that Princess Chunxi is carefree, just like a man. I didn't expect that she has such a sense of humor and even wrote a letter to the young lady."

Caifu picked up the letter and handed it to Shen Nanyan. Shen Nanyan took it and opened it. The few words on the letter made Shen Nanyan frown and feel even more uncomfortable.

It turned out that these things were not sent by Princess Chunxi, but were sent to her by Lu Jiusi. He also promised in the letter that he would discuss everything with Shen Nanyue next time. This feeling was very subtle, like a quarrel between a young couple, which added a layer of slight throbbing to Shen Nanyue's feeling of guilt.

The next day, General Yue sent a lot of things to the Shen family, all of which were some valuable supplements, calligraphy and paintings, as well as cloth and jewelry. Shen Zongyuan looked at these things, but he felt like there was a big stone blocking his heart and he couldn't breathe. He couldn't get rid of the anger.

Mrs. Lu also hid in the house for several days and did not dare to go out. Shen Nanyue took advantage of the fact that everyone was busy preparing for the New Year and had no time to take care of herself, so she quietly took her things and went out, heading straight for the Regent's Palace.
