Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

The servant in front of her was dressed neatly and tidy, with a calm and composed look on his face. It was obvious at first glance that he was not an ordinary servant. Shen Nanyan waited for two days and finally the man arrived.

"Excuse me, are you the servant of Master Zhong's family?"

Suddenly a woman spoke to him, and the servant's eyes became alert and he took half an inch back.

"Exactly. I wonder who the young lady is?"

"My daughter is the fifth daughter of the Shen family, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites."

Shen Nanyan didn't say anything, and Caifu introduced herself.

"Meeting Miss Shen, is there anything wrong?"

"No, I just happened to be passing by and saw you queuing here. Are you here to buy noodles for your son?"

"Exactly."

"Caifu, go in and get some noodles for Master Zhong to try."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Miss Shen, this won't do."

"This shop is owned by my family. If you want to try it in the future, Master Zhong, you can come and get it anytime. I'll keep it for you."

"No, how can I do that?"

"Actually, I don't know your young master, but I often hear my brother mention him. He says that he is knowledgeable and talented, and he is also modest and gentle, so I'm doing this for you."

"Your brother is Shen Yunzhi."

When Shen Yunzhi was mentioned, a hint of surprise flashed in the servant's eyes. Who was Shen Yunzhi? He had heard of him. How could such a person appreciate his son? Shouldn't he associate with those playboys?

"Yes, my brother used to be young and only cared about playing. My grandfather's death has made him grow up a lot. Now he just wants to calm down and study hard. He has always admired your son. If Mr. Zhong doesn't mind, you can get together with my brother someday... Oh... No, I was just saying it casually. Don't force Mr. Zhong."

A servant cannot make the decision on his master's affairs. Shen Nanyan didn't expect to succeed in one go. Making friends with people takes time. Right now, her brother has no friends around him and has no motivation at all. She can only help him make more friends who are beneficial to him and gradually change his current situation.

For several days in a row, Shen Nanyan used this method to build relationships with several people. Whether this matter will succeed or not, we have to wait and see, there is no need to be impatient.

Ever since Mrs. Lu was put under house arrest, Shen Yunyi has repeatedly gone to the old lady and Shen Zongyuan to plead for mercy, but Shen Zongyuan did not give in at all. The main reason was that there was a concubine Lan by his side. Whenever Shen Zongyuan wanted to give in, concubine Lan would rekindle his anger, so Shen Yunyi was repeatedly obstructed. However, Mrs. Lu was not in a hurry, but Shen Lingxi was extremely anxious. She told the guards all day that she wanted to see Shen Zongyuan. After all, she was her daughter, and what's more, Shen Zongyuan also beat her that night. So in less than a month, Shen Lingxi was released from house arrest.

Shen Lingxi, who regained her freedom, left the house that day and did not return until it was almost dark. After returning, her face was obviously much rosier and she was in a particularly good mood. She must have gone to meet someone.

During this period, Shen Nanyan would enter the Qiankun Pearl whenever she had time, and learn about Wu You's world in it. The things she had never heard of, the clothes, the cars speeding on the ground, the big birds flying in the sky, and the countless delicacies really opened Shen Nanyan's eyes.

You guys are amazing! This seafood is so delicious, and there's also milk tea and that cake from yesterday. Can I open a shop for all of them? They'll be selling like crazy!

[It's all right, take whatever you want, but I have conditions.]

Wu You picked up the Coke next to him and drank it all in one gulp.

【What? 】

You must learn from the big bird in the sky. Running on the ground is inconvenient for you, but the big bird in the sky is very useful to you.

But I’m afraid.

[What are you afraid of? There are no obstacles in the sky. Even if you go off track, it's okay.]

[That seems to be the case. I want to open a restaurant, a seafood restaurant. This is so delicious.]

【open.】

[It'll take some time. My shop has just opened, and while I'm making a lot of money, it's still not enough to open a restaurant.]

"You're too kind. There are so many corrupt officials in the capital. They must have some secret vaults in their mansions. I can just move some of it for you. That money is hidden from view. Even if it's lost, they wouldn't dare report it to the authorities."

"Why not take the Yue family's, the Lu family's, the Lu family's, or Shen Lingxi's? It doesn't matter how much. I just like to see her angry."

【I'll do as you say.】

The next morning, someone reported to Shen Zongyuan that all the silver and jewelry of Lu's mother and daughter were gone, not even a single earring was left. Shen Nanyan secretly gave Wu You a thumbs up in her heart. He was so cruel to take away everything.

Shen Lingxi's eyes were swollen from crying, and Shen Zongyuan didn't know where to start for a while. It was Mrs. Shen who gave the order and asked the housekeeper to call all the servants in the mansion to the front yard to search one by one.

The masters of the mansion were all in the front hall with Old Lady Shen. Old Lady Shen stared at Aunt Lan with displeasure. She had always disliked Aunt Lan, especially because her own son favored his concubine over his wife, which was a headache for her the most. At the moment, Aunt Lan had lost her former arrogance. After all, she was the housekeeper. Such a serious thing had happened suddenly. She was afraid that the old lady would be unhappy and take away her housekeeper power.

"Old Madam, it was my fault for not supervising the situation properly, which allowed the thief to take advantage of the opportunity. Please punish me, Madam."

She was Shen Zongyuan's favorite. Even if she knelt down and admitted her mistake now, the old lady would have to punish her for Shen Zongyuan's sake. So although Aunt Lan seemed to be accepting the punishment sincerely, she was actually fearless.

"Mother, Xin'er just took over the yard, so it's normal for her to not take good care of things. I hope you won't blame her too much."

The old lady glanced sideways and glared at Shen Zongyuan fiercely.

"I haven't even opened my mouth yet, and you're already anxious. Look at how little you can do."

"It's my son who misunderstood his mother. It's just a coincidence that our family has never been robbed. This is under the feet of the emperor, and the thieves are so arrogant that they stole everything."

"Grandma, Dad, this is really strange."

"Ying'er, did you find anything?"

Aunt Lan's daughter, Shen Rongying, helped Aunt Lan sit down, then turned around and said.

"Just like Dad said, thieves wouldn't dare act so recklessly under the emperor's feet. This kind of thing has never happened in our Shen family. Why did my aunt get robbed just because she's the housekeeper? And the only things stolen were from the mistress and my eldest sister. Logically, Grandmother and Dad are the richest people in this mansion. And no matter which direction they came from, the best place to start wouldn't be Huayue Pavilion. Besides, there are guards outside the Huayue Pavilion. So, this could only have been done by someone in the courtyard."

Shen Rongying's analysis was very logical, and the more Shen Zongyuan listened, the more it made sense. Even at night, the housekeeper had arranged people to patrol everywhere every hour, so how could they not even see the shadow of a thief?

After all, he still had to investigate the people in Huayue Pavilion, but at this moment, another strange idea popped up in Shen Zongyuan's mind, but he didn't dare to think about it any further.
