Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Chapter 46: Distant Aunt

Soon, Shen Yunzhi woke up and everyone felt relieved.

"Wake up, wake up, Yunzhi. You've been in so much pain. Does it hurt anywhere? The doctor is here."

The old lady loved the children at home the most. When she saw Shen Yunzhi wake up, her expression became much more relaxed.

"Yunzhi, you..."

Before Aunt Su could say anything, tears started to flow. Her son was ambushed and she was the one who was most afraid. Now she was able to save her life thanks to Wei Ze, but if it weren't for Wei Ze... Aunt Su didn't dare to think about it.

"Grandma, father, aunt, I'm fine. How is Wei Ze?"

"Second brother, Wei Ze has taken medicine and is already asleep. He will be fine in a few days. Don't worry."

"Well, your sister is quite capable. Doctors all praise her talent for medicine. Wei Ze will naturally be fine. But you, you must have offended someone outside. How come you are being hunted down?"

Shen Zongyuan was still frightened. If he had really offended someone, there might be more assassinations like this. He had to be on guard. If all else failed, he would have to report to the police.

"My son has no grudges against anyone, and for the past six months, the only people he's been associating with are young men from scholarly families. We've never had any arguments, let alone a quarrel. Suddenly, those people appeared in their night clothes, attacked without a word, and my son has no idea what was going on."

"My brother has indeed changed a lot in the past six months. I'm wondering if the killer has mistaken someone for the wrong person. After all, it's late now, so a mistake is possible."

This incident was definitely not an accident, but it cannot be pursued. First of all, Shen Yunzhi definitely did not have any enemies with anyone. Secondly, judging from Shen Yunyi's expression just now, he was closely related to this matter. But if Shen Zongyuan really found out something, for the sake of the Shen family's reputation, he would not make it public and would just let it go.

Since that's the case, it's better not to waste time. I have a way to return it anyway, so as to avoid the matter from being exposed. It will hinder Shen Nanyan from doing anything.

"Yan'er is right. These days, Yunzhi spends most of his time practicing in the yard and rarely goes out. How could he have the opportunity to make enemies with others? If there were any previous grudges, they wouldn't have waited until now. From now on, you kids should go home early and don't stay outside for too long."

"Don't worry, grandma. After what happened with my second brother, we are also afraid."

"It's a pity that Second Brother has suffered so much. Second Brother, I will make some soup for you tomorrow. Drink more to nourish your body."

Tang Manrou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, which immediately earned her a stab wound from Shen Nanyan.

Her soft and weak voice made people believe that she was truly doing this for Shen Yun's own good, but Shen Nanyue knew what she was thinking.

"Miss Tang is a guest. How can I let a guest serve my second brother? I will stay here tonight to take care of him. Tomorrow, Auntie will come and replace me."

Shen Nanyan didn't give Tang Manrou any chance at all and arranged everything directly.

"Sister Yan'er, I...I don't have a home anymore. Uncle Shen took me in thanks, so I should do my part for the family. Let Aunt Su rest tomorrow, and I'll take care of it."

Tang Manrou was talking about her home, not the Shen family. She had already regarded this place as her own home. Shen Nanyan smiled. It was impossible to stop this person from throwing himself at her.

"I remember Miss Tang has an aunt outside the city. It's almost the end of the year. Aren't you going back to reunite with your family?"

"Ah... Auntie... I don't know. I haven't heard Daddy mention it. I..."

A trace of panic flashed across Tang Manrou's eyes.

"Dad, you still remember, it was Uncle Tang who told you that at his house. I remember when we returned to Beijing, Uncle Tang asked you to bring something to his sister."

It happened a long time ago, and Shen Zongyuan only vaguely remembered after thinking about it for a while that this was the case.

"Yes, yes, there is such a person. I was inconsiderate and didn't think of this. Rou'er, that is your blood-related aunt."

"Even if they have relatives, we shouldn't abandon their children. After all, they are living under someone else's roof and are bound to suffer grievances. The best arrangement is to send them back to their closest relatives."

Now that the old lady has spoken, there is no room for maneuver.

The main reason was that the old lady had seen countless people and she really didn't have a good impression of Tang Manrou. Especially when she paid her respects to the old lady every day, her deliberate approach made the old lady very disgusted. She always felt that she was full of calculations. Today happened to be the opportunity, so naturally she had to send her away.

"Mother is right, but there's no rush, Rou'er. I'll have someone prepare some things in the next two days. You can take them back to your aunt in a couple of days."

What Shen Zongyuan said was very clear. Not only did he not know that Tang Manrou had relatives before, but now that he knew that she had close relatives, he would definitely send her back. After all, she was a girl, and her future life affairs would be decided by her elders.

Tang Manrou could hardly hold back the smile on her face, and her fingertips dug deep into her palms.

"Yes, Rou'er will listen to Uncle Shen."

After everyone left, Shen Nanyan also fed Shen Yunzhi two pills, mainly for anti-inflammatory purposes, for fear that the wound would become infected tonight and cause a fever.

Wu You came in after Shen Yunzhi fell asleep, and the temperature in the room dropped sharply.

Wu You followed Shen Yunyi and his sister, and indeed heard about the assassination of Shen Yunzhi. It turned out that the assassin was a gangster hired by Lu's brother. Because Shen Yunzhi's performance was becoming more and more popular, Shen Yunyi became anxious and could not wait for Lu to come out and make plans, so he went to ask Lu's uncle for help. Lu's uncle was also a ruthless person, and he did things simply and clearly. His purpose was to kill Shen Yunzhi, so he paid money and killed him directly. However, he did not expect that Shen Yunzhi had Wei Ze by his side to protect him with his life.

[Wu You, before my brother leaves Beijing, please keep the Lu family busy so they don't have the energy to help Shen Yunyi hurt my brother.]

"Then why don't I just scare them to death? Tomorrow, the Lu family will all go out lying down."

Killing them would be too easy. Do you know what the most terrifying punishment is?

【Dismantled by five horses?】

Shen Nanyan shook her head.

These are the "slicing" and "sticking on an official" punishments. These two punishments don't kill people instantly, but rather cause them to slowly expire in a prolonged state of terror and awareness. The excitement isn't in the death, but in the process itself. So don't kill them lightly; let them enjoy the process.

[You ancient people were really good at playing games. In my time, a peanut would kill someone.]

【Will you think I'm cruel and ruthless? 】

"That's not right, isn't it? Someone's already pooping on your neck, so why bother trying to persuade them to stop? Since they've already committed murder, they should return the favor appropriately. This is all about human interaction. We should be sensible and not let them down."

[Pfft, go back quickly, it's really cold here.]

[A cruel woman, she abandoned me after using me.]

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu You disappeared from the spot. The temperature in the room had obviously risen. Shen Nanyan touched her brother's forehead and felt relieved.
