Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

It was not only Shen Zongyuan who had this idea, but also Aunt Lan and Shen Nanyan. Although things were not planned in this way, the opportunity was presented to them, and it would be a pity not to use it. Shen Nanyan slowly clenched her hands at her side.

"Master, we've checked all the servants and found nothing. These people are all senior members of our family, and their indentures are in our hands. No one would dare to do such a thing. The silver, money, and jewelry they have are a lot. Even if they had a hundred guts, they wouldn't dare to do it."

At this time, Shen Zongyuan had already made up his mind, but he didn't want to make a big deal out of it. They had been married for decades and had to live together for the rest of their lives, so they had to save some face for each other.

"Well, since they're not from the mansion, they must be from outside. Arrange more people to patrol at night these days and tell them to keep this matter secret and not spread it."

"Yes, sir."

"Alright, let's all go, it's really..."

"Master, aren't you going to investigate? Doesn't this...this fault have to be shouldered by me?"

Aunt Lan naturally wanted to get to the bottom of the matter. She had just thought that if it wasn't stolen by a servant, then it was very likely that Mrs. Lu wanted to frame her. Only then would she ask for her to lose her position as housekeeper if she was at fault.

"Your fault is naturally yours. Otherwise, do you think the housekeeper's key is so easy to get? You come from a poor family, and you want to imitate the mistress's status as a housekeeper. Don't you know your own weight?"

Finally, Mrs. Lu found an opportunity to humiliate Aunt Lan. She even forgot that she was still under house arrest. She only cared about putting on the aura of the mistress and spoke rudely to Aunt Lan.

"I don't have the same family background as yours, but even with such a good family background, it doesn't mean your upbringing is that good. Otherwise, how could she have done such things as murdering a bastard's son and oppressing a concubine? I was simply not careful enough."

"Fox girl, you're taking advantage of the fact that the master thinks highly of you and you're showing off in front of this lady. Mother, master, Aunt Lan is responsible for what happened today. We can't just let it go like this. At the very least, you should make her pay you with money to make up for it, and then punish her by making her kneel in the ancestral hall."

Shen Zongyuan's expression changed instantly.

"These servants found nothing, Mrs. Lu, don't you want to think about why?"

Mrs. Lu was confused. She didn't know what Shen Zongyuan was talking about or what he wanted her to think.

"Master has already said that it was stolen by thieves outside. Aunt Lan is the housekeeper, shouldn't she be responsible? Or is it because Aunt Lan is the apple of Master's eye that Master wants to protect her? A prince who breaks the law is subject to the same punishment as a commoner, not to mention that she is just a concubine who is not worthy of being on the stage. Master, please don't dote on her too much."

"You...you...I really wanted to suppress the matter, but you still wouldn't give in. Do you have a clear conscience?"

"Am I so guilty? Shouldn't Concubine Lan be the one who should feel guilty? Not only is she fine now, but I can't blame her. It seems that Xi'er and I are the ones who have suffered in silence. Mother, please judge the situation for your daughter-in-law. She is the mistress, yet the master has degraded her like this, even worse than a concubine. How can I live like this?"

The old lady didn't know what to say about this matter. Who could she side with when it came to the matter between her son and daughter-in-law? So before the old lady could speak, Shen Nanyan spoke first.

"Grandma, it's already 9:00 PM. It's time for you to take your medicine. Why don't you let Nanny Yin take you back to the courtyard to take your medicine first? Don't delay. You'll be feeling unwell again."

"Is mother unwell?"

"I felt a little dizzy when I woke up this morning, but the doctor prescribed some medicine and it's nothing serious."

As she spoke, the old lady stood up, as if she didn't want to stay for even a second.

"Your mother has been exhausted by your son's affairs. Please go back to the courtyard and rest."

"Ah."

When the old lady turned around, she looked at Shen Nanyan kindly, her eyes full of satisfaction. Shen Nanyan lowered her head slightly in greeting, her movements just right.

After seeing the old lady off, Mrs. Lu took a deep breath and sat in the main seat, holding her head high, regaining her former aura as the mistress.

"What are you still doing sitting here? Go back to Huayue Pavilion."

Seeing that Lu acted as if nothing had happened, Shen Zongyuan became furious.

"Why should I go back? I wasn't the one who did anything wrong. Is the master planning to drive me away and make the matter small and unresolved?"

"Then what else do you want?"

"Aunt Lan must be punished."

"Madam, how could you frame me like this? I am truly wronged."

"What, framed? You're really ridiculous."

"I know that the master has handed over the housekeeping power to me, which makes Madam very unhappy, but you can't hide your silver and jewelry to frame me. Otherwise, how could you and the eldest lady be the only ones who lost things in this whole yard?"

Mrs. Lu stood up quickly and kicked Aunt Lan. Everyone was unable to react and could only watch Aunt Lan fall to the ground.

"Lu!"

Under Shen Zongyuan's roar, Aunt Lan stood up and ran towards Mrs. Lu, and the two women started fighting. Shen Lingxi naturally had to help her mother when she was fighting with others. This help made the situation even more lively. Shen Rongying, who was usually weak and timid, couldn't bear to see her aunt being bullied. Another person came in, and the whole front hall was in chaos. Shen Zongyuan was overwhelmed.

Shen Nanyan grabbed Aunt Su who was about to get up and shook her head at her.

In the current situation, no matter who Aunt Su tries to pull, she will offend the other party. It is better to sit back and watch the show. After all, this is the first time that the Shen family has staged such a big show.

"Stop it, everyone stop it."

Shen Zongyuan was bound to rescue his white moonlight, so he was slapped a few times during the process. In the end, the fight ended when Shen Zongyuan pushed Lu down.

The four women were like crazy women at the moment, which was really eye-opening. Lu's neck was scratched, but Shen Rongying was also injured. It can be seen that Shen Lingxi was really powerful and had killed her.

Only then did Shen Nanyan let go of Aunt Su, and the two of them walked to Mrs. Lu's side. Shen Nanyan weakly stretched out her hand to help Mrs. Lu up, but Mrs. Lu, who was angry, pushed Shen Nanyan out. Shen Nanyan did not struggle, and fell to the ground very smoothly, and let out an exaggerated "Ah".

"Ms. Lu, you are hopeless."

"Master, Aunt Lan is slandering me."

"You don't like Xin'er, and you don't like her having the power of housekeeper. That's why you caused all this trouble. You just want her to give up the power of housekeeper. I'm telling you, it's impossible. You'd better give up as soon as possible."

"I do not have."

"Still being stubborn, butler, take people to Huayue Pavilion and search it thoroughly for me. Dig three feet underground and find everything for me."

"Yes, sir."

After the four of them separated, they sat down and began to tidy themselves up. Only Shen Nanyue and Aunt Su were still neat and tidy. Shen Zongyuan glanced at Aunt Su, and his eyes softened a lot.

Mrs. Lu still looked fearless because she knew that she had not tampered with the silver at all, so she had a clear conscience. She was just waiting for Shen Zongyuan to find nothing, and then she would deal with Aunt Lan.

But she knew it, she knew it, but things could never go as she wished.
