Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

That night, the Lu family was haunted. It seemed that all the ghosts in Beijing suddenly rushed into the Lu family. The servants walked with the ghosts on the road. There were several female ghosts with long hair, white faces, red lips and no pupils surrounding the bed of Lu Senquan, the head of the Lu family. It is said that Lu Senquan was so scared that he wet his pants.

Something happened to the Lu family, and Shen Yunyi was scared. During the meal, the maid accidentally broke a cup, which scared him so much that he threw the bowl out directly, hitting Shen Zongyuan on the head. Shen Zongyuan scolded him for a long time.

Before Shen Nanyan returned to the courtyard to rest, she asked someone to call Nanny Yuan and arranged for her to accompany Aunt Su to guard Shen Yunzhi's courtyard, just to prevent Tang Manrou from getting involved.

But even with this precaution, accidents still happened.

On the third day, Shen Yunzhi was almost recovered, so he persuaded Aunt Su to go back and rest. In the evening, Tang Manrou took advantage of the fact that there were few people in the yard and broke into Shen Yunzhi's room. Shen Yunzhi suddenly remembered his sister's previous instructions and shouted for the servant outside the door, but the servant had already been sent away by Tang Manrou with silver.

"Miss Tang, if you have something to say, please go outside and talk. It's not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room."

"Brother Yunzhi, do you dislike Rouer because she has no family and no status?"

"Let's go out first."

Tang Manrou blocked Shen Yunzhi's way with her body. Shen Yunzhi didn't dare to touch her and could only reason with her.

"Miss Tang, if there's anything wrong, we can go talk to Grandma or Dad. I'm just a bastard of the Shen family, and I don't have much say at home."

"Rou'er doesn't ask for much. Actually...Rou'er fell in love with Brother Yunzhi the first time she saw him. However, Rou'er knows that she is living under someone else's roof and doesn't dare to covet Brother Yunzhi's wife. I only ask that Brother Yunzhi keep me by his side and be a bed-warming maid."

"Absolutely not. You are the daughter of my father's best friend. How can you be my bed warmer?"

"Brother Yunzhi is going to marry Rouer. Rouer knows that brother loves me. I will definitely serve him well."

As Tang Manrou spoke, she approached Shen Yunzhi, and Shen Yunzhi had no way to retreat.

"Don't go any further, Fuzi, Fuzi..."

Shen Yunzhi anxiously called out to the servants, but there was still no one at the door. Tang Manrou pulled at her clothes, revealing a glimpse of her shoulders, and the bellyband inside was also faintly visible. Shen Yunzhi's body was pressed tightly against the wall, with his face turned to the side, not daring to open his eyes at all.

Tang Manrou was getting closer and closer, and Shen Yunzhi could feel that she was about to stick to his arms. There was nothing he could do. His sister had said that he should not have any contact with Tang Manrou, and it turned out to be no good.

Shen Yunzhi reached out and picked up a vase from the corner cabinet and put it directly in Tang Manrou's face.

"Go away."

The furious rejection and cold tone made Tang Manrou pause. A hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes, and she actually took off her coat.

"You forced me to do this."

After she finished speaking, Tang Manrou rushed towards Shen Yunzhi again regardless of everything. Before Shen Yunzhi could lift the vase, Tang Manrou flew backwards like a rag. In front of Shen Yunzhi was Wei Ze with a frown on his face.

"Wei...Wei Ze, are you okay? Sit down quickly."

"I am late. Are you frightened?"

"No...it's just this..."

"Don't worry, sir. I've already sent someone to notify the Fifth Miss."

It’s not that Shen Yunzhi didn’t know how to deal with it, but Tang Manrou was a guest and a woman, so it was difficult for him to do anything.

In less than an incense stick's time, Shen Nanyan and Aunt Su arrived at the same time. Aunt Su looked at Tang Manrou with uncontrollable fire in her eyes, while Shen Nanyan treated her coldly.

"The master kept you in the mansion out of consideration for your ex-wife's son. I never thought your family would do such a thing."

"Mrs. Su, you didn't educate your son well, and you want to blame me? I was almost ruined by your son."

After hearing Tang Manrou's words, Shen Yunzhi's eyes widened a little.

"What are you talking about? Me? Didn't you send the servants away from the courtyard and then run into my room yourself, thinking... How can you confuse right and wrong? Do you have any sense of shame?"

"Second Young Master, how could I, a woman, do such a shameless thing? You can't even bully me, but you still want me to bear this infamy? It's a pity that my parents have passed away, and you are bullying an orphan like this."

At this time, the cries of a servant were heard in the yard outside the door, each cry more heartbreaking than the last. The room suddenly became quiet. Tang Manrou looked back and lowered her eyes in thought.

"you……"

"Mom, there's no need to argue with her. Grandmother has ordered her to be sent away. She can't say anything in order to stay in the Shen family. It's useless to say more to her."

"But your brother can't be wrongly accused in vain!"

"There is a God above us, how could I let my brother be wronged?"

"Fifth Miss, Fuzi has recruited."

Nanny Yuan said outside the door.

"Bring the people in."

Soon, a servant named Fuzi was dragged in. His lower body was covered in blood. After being thrown to the ground, Fuzi stretched out his hands and crawled towards Tang Manrou.

"It's you, it's you. You gave me the money and asked me to send everyone out of the yard. It's you."

Tang Manrou quickly stepped back and distanced herself from Fuzi.

"I don't know you. What nonsense are you talking about? Don't accuse me."

"It's you. The silver you gave me is still under the bed. You also said that when you become the master of this house, you will definitely benefit me. Aunt Su, Second Young Master, Fifth Young Lady, it's true. Everything I said is true."

"You... Aunt Su, can you slander me with a servant full of lies?"

"Send the person to Aunt Lan and tell her that Fuzi is dishonest and doesn't want this courtyard for my brother. She doesn't need to send anyone else here."

"Yes, Miss Fifth."

After Fuzi was taken away, the smell of blood in the room did not dissipate, so Shen Nanyan asked someone to light an incense burner and bring it in.

In fact, Fuzi only told half the truth. It was true that Tang Manrou bribed him, but he was not loyal to Tang Manrou. He was a member of the Lu family.

This matter was also explained to him by Lu, otherwise Tang Manrou would not have been able to bribe him so easily.

So when he was taken away, he did not show any fear, and did not even beg for mercy. He was just certain that Lu would save him. But Lu was in trouble now, so how could he care about the life and death of a servant like him?

"Miss Tang, as a woman, I naturally don't believe you could be so low as to do such a thing. How about this? You swear in front of the candle on the table that you have never done anything to frame your brother. Then, forget it. I will also tell Grandmother that my brother will marry you as his principal wife. After all, you are the daughter of Daddy's best friend and are as noble as us. I will not let you suffer any injustice."

"Yan'er, I don't want to."

If this had not happened, no matter what the reason was for Shen Yunzhi to marry Tang Manrou, he might have been able to force himself to do it. But it was obvious that Tang Manrou had used despicable means, and he still had to compromise. He couldn't get over this hurdle.

Aunt Su also felt uncomfortable. She thought that Shen Nanyan did not inform the old lady and Shen Zongyuan in order to handle the matter quietly, but she did not expect that even with the testimony of the servant, Shen Nanyan still chose to believe Tang Manrou.
