Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Soon, Lu, Shen Zongyuan, and Shen Lingxi also came out.

"A maid found Nanny Yin and said that Madam asked her to ask Grandmother to come over, but the performance on the stage was very lively and Grandmother couldn't leave, so she asked her daughter to come over and take a look before going back to tell her. So what is going on? Otherwise, how can her daughter tell Grandmother?"

Shen Nanyan looked innocent and there was no flaw at all, but there was deep suspicion in the eyes of Lu and Shen Lingxi.

"You asked the old lady to come over? Did you know about this a long time ago?"

Shen Zongyuan reacted quickly and immediately asked about Lu.

"I didn't even see this happen, so how would I know? I... I was just worried that my mother was too tired, so I wanted her to come over and rest. What does this have to do with me? Why do you always doubt me?"

"I doubt you. Look at what you have done."

"Master, are you so partial? Now it's Aunt Lan's daughter who has done something shameful and brought disgrace to the Shen family. Master is not angry with them, but instead is criticizing me, a bystander."

Shen Zongyuan raised his finger and pointed at Lu, unable to say a word. Who made his beloved daughter do such a thing? Now he couldn't even speak for Shen Rongying.

"Dad, no matter what it is, it's better to deal with it as soon as possible. The banquet is about to start, and it's not good for the master of this mansion not to show up. If that happens, it will really make people laugh at us."

Shen Nanyue held Shen Zongyuan's arm and comforted him softly, which made Shen Zongyuan feel a little relieved.

"Yan'er is right. Now that things are like this, we can only let them get married. What else can we do?"

"No, I don't want to. I don't want to marry into the Yue family. Daddy, please don't marry your daughter into the Yue family. That's my eldest sister's marriage, and I don't want it."

Shen Rongying in the room ran out crying and knelt at Shen Zongyuan's feet. She looked down on the Yue family. Although she was a concubine's daughter, Shen Zongyuan loved her as a legitimate daughter, which made her look down on others. Besides, she would not want Shen Lingxi's rags.

"You did something like this, what else do you want if you don't get married? Do you even know what you're talking about?"

"Dad, I didn't ask to come here. It was... it was... it was my fifth sister who asked me to come. It was her. She's the one who caused my daughter to become like this. She's the one who ruined my daughter!"

The wind direction suddenly changed. No one expected that Shen Rongying would suddenly push the matter onto Shen Nanyan. The happiest people were the mother and daughter of the Lu family. Both of them had uncontrollable smiles on their faces.

"Fourth Miss, what are you talking about? Fifth Miss just got here. How could she... Let's not talk about whether she did such a thing or not. Even if she did, how could you, Fourth Miss, listen to Fifth Miss?"

Before Shen Nanyue could say anything, Aunt Su was already anxious to redress her daughter's grievances. Her words made Shen Zongyuan agree to some extent.

"Fourth sister, when and where did Yan'er tell you to come to the guesthouse? Speaking of this, I just happened to have a question that I want to ask you, big sister."

"Me? What do you want to ask me? We're talking about Shen Rongying now, don't bring me up."

Shen Lingxi is not afraid. Although she was the one who designed Shen Nanyan, Shen Nanyan is unharmed now, so she has nothing to worry about.

"Sister sent a maid to my courtyard to tell me that Second Brother was unwell, and Eldest Sister asked me to come to the guest house to take care of Second Brother. But before I came, I ran into Wei Ze on the road. Then I found out that Second Brother was fine and was chatting and laughing with others in Yiqin Tower. So, did Eldest Sister know something and deliberately tricked me to come here to expose Fourth Sister?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't think so."

Shen Lingxi panicked all of a sudden. Isn't this equivalent to saying that this scene is her own conspiracy, even though it is obviously hers?

"Since Fourth Sister is in trouble, I'm here to expose her. This way, I'll have a grudge against Fourth Sister, while Big Sister, you stay out of it and keep your hands clean. Thinking this way, Yan'er almost thought that what happened to Fourth Sister today was arranged by Big Sister. After all, no one knows the whereabouts of Young Master Yue better than Big Sister."

"How dare you slander my Xi'er like this without any evidence."

Mrs. Lu's eyes were murderous, and as she spoke, a slap came down. Shen Nanyan didn't have time to dodge, but the slap didn't fall on her face.

"Snapped!"

Aunt Su fell to the ground.

"Auntie."

This was something Shen Nanyan had not expected. She was heartbroken and rushed over to hug Aunt Su, tears rolling down her cheeks instantly.

"Mrs. Lu, are you crazy? Yan'er, quickly help your aunt up."

Shen Zongyuan was furious, but he didn't even lift a finger. Instead, he ordered Shen Nanyan to help Aunt Su up. Shen Nanyan sneered in her heart. Her father really had a clear distinction between love and hate.

"She's just a concubine's daughter, yet she dares to bite the legitimate daughter at will. Can't I teach her a lesson?"

"Then how do you explain Xi'er tricking her into coming to the guesthouse?"

Shen Zongyuan's questioning instantly made Lu's fury disappear. She dodged for a moment and quickly exchanged glances with Shen Lingxi.

"Father, I have never done such a thing. What's the point of the maid telling me this? I have been in the garden the whole time and haven't seen my second brother."

Shen Lingxi's explanation was very pale. Shen Zongyuan raised his hand to support his forehead. He had probably guessed that today's incident was the work of Lu, but he didn't understand why Lu wanted to ruin his daughter's marriage with his own hands. But now was not the time to pursue it. There were guests waiting in the front yard, and he was really in a difficult situation now.

"Put everything aside for now. Someone, quietly invite Madam Yue here."

"Dad, I don't want to marry into Yue's family. Please have mercy on me."

Things have come to this point, and with Mrs. Yue's arrival, the marriage is settled, there is no other way.

"Whether you want it or not, things have come to this point. The Yue family is a good match. Don't worry, Dad will take care of everything else for you and will definitely let you become a monk in glory."

"No, Dad, I don't want it."

"Uncle Shen, Han Zhou doesn't want to either. It's Xi'er who is engaged to Han Zhou. How can Han Zhou betray her?"

Yue Hanzhou, already dressed neatly, came out and directly rejected the marriage with Shen Rongying. While speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Nanyue, without a trace of guilt on his face.

"What are you thinking? You brought disaster to Rong Ying, and now you want to bring disaster to Xi Er?"

"Uncle, this...that's not what I meant. It's just that Xi'er and I already have an engagement, and we should abide by it."

Shen Lingxi on the side was already in tears at this moment, hesitating as if she had suffered a great injustice, even though she looked like she wanted to kill someone just now.

Hearing Yue Hanzhou's rejection, not only Shen Zongyuan was embarrassed, but Shen Rongying cried even harder. She was already married to Yue Hanzhou, but he still refused to marry her. It was one thing for her to be unwilling, but being rejected was another.

"Let Madam Yue decide on this matter. You don't need to talk to me anymore."

"My fourth young lady and I... I am willing to take her as my concubine. I also ask my uncle not to cancel my marriage with Xi'er."

Yue Hanzhou's request almost made Shen Lingxi laugh out loud.

The man she doesn't want is like a dog, but she has to marry him. The key point is that Yue Hanzhou's behavior is simply trampling on Shen Rongying's face and crushing her repeatedly.
