Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Ten days later, Shen Zongyuan personally handed over the matter of the old lady's birthday banquet to Aunt Su. Aunt Su was naturally surprised, happy and scared. When had she ever organized such a thing? She hurried to Shen Nanyue's yard and pulled her daughter into the house.

After the mother and daughter sat down, they began to pour out their grievances, and it seemed that she was afraid of every aspect of the process.

"Mother, my father is an upright official. Although some friends are coming to celebrate his birthday, it's not a particularly large crowd. There are only about twenty tables for men and women combined. The first thing to do is to arrange for the reception. This requires tea. Men will have tea, while women can prepare a few more dishes, such as scented tea, milk tea, and plain tea. Don't worry about snacks and fruits. I'll have Piaoxiang Pavilion prepare enough for storage half a month in advance."

"Then this banquet..."

"Isn't this even simpler? Baiweizhai can just call three or five chefs over. If all else fails, just let Baiweizhai take a day off. What are you worrying about?"

"But that would be very expensive."

"That's what I want, mother. Just do as I wish. I've already thought of everything else. Oh, and please hire a troupe of actors to perform in the courtyard all day long. Not only will the old lady like it, but it will also make the place more lively. Most importantly, the money for the troupe can't come from the mansion, it has to be paid for by you."

"How can mother have so much money? Isn't this embarrassing for me?"

"You do."

Shen Nanyan turned around and brought out a box from the inner room and stuffed it into Aunt Su's hand. Aunt Su opened it in confusion. Inside was a stack of banknotes neatly laid out. Aunt Su had never seen so much silver before. She opened her eyes wide and looked up at her daughter.

"Mother, these are all yours. You don't have to be frugal anymore. Buy whatever you like. From now on, money will be delivered to you every month. You can keep it. My brother will get some too, and I will get some too."

"Yan'er, you...you earn money with difficulty, you can't spend it so lavishly."

"Mother, please believe me, our second restaurant will be opening soon. You will never be short of money in this life. Not only you, but also my uncle, aunt, and even my cousins. No one will be short of money. And all this money is earned by my daughter. It is clean. You can use it with peace of mind."

With her daughter's comfort and help, and the money in her hands, Aunt Su's back straightened a lot, and her uneasy heart gradually calmed down. When she left, she seemed to be glowing.

During the preparation for the birthday banquet, Aunt Lan also fulfilled her promise and helped Aunt Su a lot. For this, Shen Rongying was very angry. She felt that her aunt had finally had a chance to come to the fore, but now she had to watch Aunt Su show up. No matter what Aunt Lan said to her, she was unwilling to listen. She even felt that Aunt Lan was too weak and said that she was just not liked by the old lady. At most, she would kill the old lady. Aunt Lan was so scared that she quickly covered her daughter's mouth, but was bitten hard by Shen Rongying.

Shen Nanyan's eyes turned a little colder as she listened to Wu You's description.

It was the same in the previous life. Although Aunt Lan was a little arrogant, she actually wanted to live a good life with Shen Zongyuan. As long as Mrs. Lu did not suppress her, she was satisfied with the status quo. But Shen Rongying did not think so. She wanted Aunt Lan to stand up and be above Mrs. Lu. She wanted Shen Zongyuan to arrange a good marriage for her, and even thought about marrying into the palace. That's why she dragged Aunt Lan to poison the old lady, and things got out of control from then on.

Although the old lady did not favor her, she also did not treat her badly, so Shen Nanyan would not allow such a thing to happen again.

Shen Nanyan shook her head and simply entered the Qiankun Pearl, concentrating on practicing flying the plane. Even if Wu You was not around, Shen Nanyan dared to take off by herself. Anyway, no matter how she flew around, she could not fly out of the Qiankun Pearl. Here, she not only learned how to fly the plane, but also learned how to use various medical equipment, and even started reading medical books. Sometimes Wu You would borrow two little ghosts from the King of Hell for Shen Nanyan to give them acupuncture, since they could not feel the pain anyway.

On the day of the birthday party, the weather was nice, sunny and cool.

The male guests were arranged to drink tea and chat in Yiqinlou, while the female guests were arranged to stay in the garden. Not only could they enjoy the flowers here, but there was also a stage for performing operas. It was the first time for the old lady to see someone set up a stage in the mansion, and she and her old sisters were very happy.

Other young female guests can enjoy the flowers, drink tea and eat snacks in the garden. The most common words heard here are praises for the tea and snacks. Some people even tasted that the snacks came from Piaoxiang Pavilion. They all praised Aunt Lan for her generosity and for being able to buy so many snacks from Piaoxiang Pavilion, many of which were not even sold in the shop.

Everyone's praise made Aunt Lan very happy. She had asked Shen Zongyuan for this honor. Originally, Shen Zongyuan was going to let Lu be the honorary daughter, but he couldn't resist her nagging. Although she got what she wanted, the old lady disliked her even more.

Not only was the old lady unhappy, but Lu and Shen Lingxi, who were released, were even more displeased. Looking at Aunt Lan's smug smile, the mother and daughter looked more vicious in their eyes. Only Aunt Su, who actually organized the birthday banquet, was spared. However, the lively scene before them made Shen Zongyuan and the old lady change their views on Aunt Su.

Shen Nanyan did not join in the fun, but stayed in the yard with Caifu. On an occasion like today, there must be many women who wanted to meet the girls from various families, but she was not willing to join in the fun. In her previous life, Shen Nanyan had a psychological trauma because of Yue Hanzhou, so she did not plan to get married in this life. It is not impossible for her to be happy alone for the rest of her life.

Besides, on this day in her previous life, she fell into Shen Lingxi's trap and mistakenly entered the room where Yue Hanzhou was resting, which led to the blood feud between the two.

But if I escape in this life, who will follow my old path?

Sometimes what you think really happens. Before Shen Nanyan could finish her thoughts, a maid walked in.

"Fifth Miss, the Second Young Master just fainted in the front hall and has been sent to the guest house to rest. Aunt Su asked Fifth Miss to go and take care of the Second Young Master."

Shen Nanyan nonchalantly put down the book in her hand and looked at the maid with cold eyes.

"Why a guesthouse?"

"Because it's close, there are many guests in the mansion today, so as not to disturb the nobles."

"Well, let's go down."

The maid's words seemed perfect, but Shen Nanyan was reborn after all, and she had heard the maid's words in her previous life.

After a cup of tea, Shen Nanyan called Nanny Yuan, gave her a few instructions, and then took Caifu out of the yard. Since Shen Lingxi's trap had been set, someone had to expose it. But before they had walked far, Shen Nanyan saw Shen Rongying coming towards her. Her eyes flashed, and she changed her mind immediately.

The master and servant turned and walked to the lakeside, talking casually to the lake, while Shen Rongying was getting closer and closer behind them.
