Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Chapter 37 Birthday Banquet 2

The lake was rippling with green waves. Shen Nanyan glanced sideways and saw a delicate rose-red color getting closer and closer.

"Today, many wives from wealthy families will be visiting us. It would be a shame if you don't show up."

"What's the disadvantage? My eldest sister is very proud. Although she has an engagement with the Yue family, her eyes are on the palace. Even if these wealthy families were sent to her today, she wouldn't even look at them."

"That's right. Miss Four is also favored by the Master, and her future marriage will definitely be chosen from among the Master's disciples, so Miss Four doesn't miss this opportunity today."

Shen Nanyan smiled slightly and took two steps towards the lake. Her petite body was just blocked by the big tree.

"How dare you, a little maid like you, know so much?"

"It's not that I know much, but anyone can understand it."

"Why?"

"The Second Miss is the one that Master cherishes most. If he chooses someone else, and she gets bullied in the future, Master will be heartbroken. Only by arranging a marriage for his own protégé can he support and make decisions for her in the future. Most importantly, Master understands his protégé's character and will never let the Second Miss suffer any injustice."

"I didn't realize you could even think of this."

"Miss, the eldest daughter has no interest in the Yue family and has other thoughts. If this happens, the Yue and Shen families may become estranged."

"That's not necessarily true. If my eldest sister can marry into a high position, what do you think the Yue family will do?"

"That... is right. The young lady is really smart. As long as her husband's family is powerful, she doesn't have to worry about her wife's family. The young lady's heart is in the emperor. After all, the emperor is the most noble person in the world."

"The Emperor can be my eldest sister's grandfather, isn't it? My eldest sister is attracted to the Third Emperor's grandson."

"Ah... No wonder the Third Grandson of the Emperor also came to the mansion today. The eldest lady is really foresighted. The Emperor is already in his twilight years, and the Crown Prince may ascend the throne at any time. By then, the Third Grandson of the Emperor will be the Third Prince, and there is even the possibility of him becoming the Crown Prince. If the eldest lady marries the Third Grandson of the Emperor, then she will be the Empress in the future..."

Shen Nanyan covered Caifu's mouth with her hand.

"How dare you say that? Don't you want to die?"

"My...my words slipped, my lady, please forgive me, I didn't mean it."

"Don't ever say that again, or you'll lose your head."

"Yes, yes, I don't dare anymore. No wonder Yuexia just said that the eldest lady sent the third grandson to the guesthouse to rest. It turns out that she wanted to get the moon first by being close to the water."

"Also, I think you really don't want this head anymore."

"I want to, I must, because I still have to serve the young lady."

"Then the elder sister didn't go into the guest house, right?"

"No, I dropped him off at the gate and left."

"Okay, let's keep this to ourselves and never mention it to anyone again. Let's go find Auntie and see when the feast starts. I'm starving. Listen to my stomach growling."

"I heard that the chefs invited today are all from Baiweizhai, so we're in for a treat..."

The master and servant left while talking, and their voices gradually faded away. Only after their backs could no longer be seen did Shen Rongying come out.

She stood by the lake for less than an incense stick of time, then turned and walked in the opposite direction of the garden.

Shen Nanyan did not go to the front yard, but took Caifu back to the yard quietly. As soon as they reached the door, Wei Ze appeared quietly. Shen Nanyan looked around, handed Wei Ze something, and then they left.

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Nanyan changed into a dress in the color of clear mountains. She only pinned a pearl flower on her simple bun, looking fresh, elegant and innocent.

The master and servant then walked out of the yard and headed towards the garden. The garden was still bustling at this time. Seeing a little maid walking past and running towards the old lady, Caifu stopped her.

"How dare a little maid like you get so close to the rich and powerful? Be careful you might get sold out."

"Fifth Miss, Sister Caifu, it was...it was the maidservant beside the Madam who asked me to invite the old lady to the guest house. I just..."

"Where is the lady?"

Perhaps because Shen Nanyan's expression was too serious, the maid lowered her head and stammered for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"The young lady asked me a question, and you dared not answer. Do you still have your master in your eyes? I'm going to tell Aunt Lan and ask your parents to take you back."

The maid who was frightened by Caifu suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Fifth Miss, I'm not... I, Madam and the eldest daughter are also rushing to the guesthouse right now. I don't know what happened."

"Don't worry about the old lady anymore, go back to work."

"Yes."

The reason why the maid hesitated was because she heard something happened in the guest house, and it seemed that the matter was related to Shen Nanyue, but now she didn't dare to say anything. If she offended them, she would suffer the consequences.

Shen Nanyan found Nanny Yin who was beside the old lady, told her about this, and then asked Nanny Yin not to disturb the old lady for the time being. She would go over to take a look for the old lady, and if there was really something wrong, she would send someone to report. Nanny Yin nodded, and looked at Shen Nanyan with some admiration in her eyes.

When Shen Nanyan rushed to the guesthouse, the door had already been opened. As soon as Shen Nanyan stepped in, she heard Shen Zongyuan's roar.

"Ancestors, this, this, this..."

The Lu mother and daughter were standing aside in confusion. Aunt Lan pulled up a robe from the ground, wrapped her daughter Shen Rongying in it and held her tightly in her arms. Aunt Su stood aside silently. There was no one else in the room.

It was the same in the previous life. The purpose of Lu and Shen Lingxi was to make Shen Nanyan have a relationship with Yue Hanzhou, and then catch them in the act. In this way, not only would Shen Lingxi not have to marry into the Yue family, she would not have to take any responsibility. In the end, the Yue family would have to apologize to her. In addition, Shen Nanyan also became the object of disgust for everyone in the Shen family.

There was even a rumor in the mansion at that time that Shen Nanyan had stolen her sister's husband. Because of this, Shen Nanlingxi was ill for half a month. The Yue family sent a lot of things to apologize to Shen Lingxi, and completely ignored the innocence of Shen Nanyan. So on the day of Shen Nanyan's wedding in the previous life, only Aunt Su and Shen Yunzhi came quietly to send her off, and everyone else avoided them. The Yue family was even more outrageous. They only sent the housekeeper with a team of people to pick up the bride, and Yue Hanzhou himself did not show up.

"Dad, grandma is watching a play. Let me see what's going on..."

The bed in the inner room was a mess. Shen Rongying was held by Aunt Lan, but Yue Hanzhou was sitting on the bed with his upper body naked. It was obvious that the scene was very intense, and both of them had red spots on their bodies.

"You...why are you..."

Shen Lingxi was shocked when she saw Shen Nanyan. They really couldn't understand why this happened. She was clearly plotting against Shen Nanyan, so why was Shen Rongying with Yue Hanzhou now?

So she almost blurted out the answer, but before she finished asking, Aunt Su ran over, covered Shen Nanyan's eyes, and took her to the outer room.

"How did you come?"

Aunt Su's eyebrows were furrowed. Her daughter was not even an adult yet, so how could she watch such dirty things?
