Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Yue Hanzhou stood there in a daze for a long time, until the carriage disappeared, then he smiled slowly.

“It’s really different.”

People may be like this. The more others don't give them a good face, the more they want to get close to them. Yue Hanzhou now particularly likes the way Shen Nanyan looks down on him. It seems that she is more interesting than Shen Lingxi.

He was even thinking in his mind that it would not be impossible to marry all the daughters of the Shen family and have the sisters share one husband. Maybe the family in the backyard would be more harmonious.

After returning to the Shen family, Aunt Su and her son did not mention a word about the assassination attempt on the street. There was no need to say who used the method, and even if they did, it might not be of any use. Shen Zongyuan would not take the matter to the government office because of this. After all, he cared more about the reputation of the Shen family.

Aunt Su, who was sitting in the room, was still a little nervous. It was okay for her to stay in the mansion every day, but Shen Nanyue often went out. What should she do if she encountered such a thing again?

"Yan'er, leave the business to your uncle and his family. Just ask your aunt to come to the mansion every month to talk to you. Don't go out. Mother thinks it's too dangerous."

"Actually... okay, I'll just listen to my mother."

How could Shen Nanyan possibly listen to this? But if she didn't agree, Aunt Su would definitely keep pestering her. Instead of making her worry, it would be better to go along with her. Anyway, she had to go out when she had to.

They stayed in Aunt Su's courtyard until dinner before leaving. The sky was getting darker. Shen Nanyan's face was gloomy and she didn't say a word. Caifu wanted to speak several times but swallowed it back. Suddenly, Shen Nanyan stopped.

In the dark night, he stood on the path without saying a word, and after a moment he continued walking forward.

After returning to the courtyard, Shen Nanyan went to bed and called Wu You.

[Send someone to Lu and Concubine Lan's courtyard to keep an eye on them. There's no need to do anything else.]

What do you doubt?

Those people today might not be from the Lu family. They just targeted my brother, and then lost face in front of my father and grandmother. My father has locked them up in the courtyard, and even Shen Yunyi rarely sees them. It's unlikely they'll be planning this for a while. Besides, the Lu family's focus is always on my brother, and they don't take my mother and me seriously. So, I suspect these people might be Aunt Lan... or perhaps they were sent by Shen Rongying. It's a pity that I acted impulsively today and had Yue Hanzhou killed them all. Otherwise, we could still try them now.

"That makes sense. Leave it to me. Also, I think you come to Qiankunzhu every day just to waste time. Look at your marksmanship today. It's really... I can't bear to watch it."

Shen Nanyan turned over and didn't look at Wu You.

"This is my first time using a hidden weapon from your world, which is pretty good, isn't it? Besides, didn't I kill one?"

[A gun has six bullets, and you kill one person. That's a one in six chance. If you're that skilled on the battlefield, you'll die hundreds of times.]

"Go talk to Yan Wang. You talk too much. I'll just be more careful next time. But will Yue Hanzhou find those bullets?"

Shen Nanyan was shocked. If that was the case, she would have to find a way to get the body back from Yue Hanzhou.

[Don't worry, those bullets will disappear on their own after three minutes of entering the human body.]

【That’s not bad, I’m going to sleep.】

【You don’t have any plans for the future?】

[Yes, I'll tell you when I wake up.]

Wu You rolled his eyes and lay down next to Shen Nanyan. That night, Shen Nanyan hugged the quilt tightly but was still woken up by the cold in the middle of the night. She forced Wu You to leave when it was almost dawn, and only then did she sleep more peacefully.

As it turned out, Shen Nanyan's guess was not wrong. Those people were indeed hired by Shen Rongying with the purpose of kidnapping the two and throwing them into the brothel. After seeing Aunt Su and her daughter return home, Shen Rongying was a little worried, but when she learned that the people she sent were dead, she felt relieved. However, when she heard that those people died at the hands of Yue Hanzhou, Shen Rongying smashed the room upside down.

She was not only angry that Yue Hanzhou ruined her good thing, but also angry that Yue Hanzhou helped Shen Nanyan. On the day when they got engaged, Yue Hanzhou personally proposed to Shen Nanyan. Her husband, however, was thinking about someone else. Isn't this a slap in the face? How could Shen Rongying swallow this?

So in the next few days, before Shen Nanyan could fight back, Shen Rongying had already disliked Shen Nanyan, and even teamed up with Shen Lingxi to slander Shen Nanyan in front of the old lady, saying that she shouldn't have taken Aunt Su out to see Shen Yunzhi, and that a lowly concubine had shown her face in front of outsiders. She even secretly said that Aunt Su was restless.

The old lady didn't say anything after hearing this, but her face turned a little colder. Shen Rongying and Shen Lingxi thought that the old lady was angry because of this, and they felt happy in their hearts. Even if they couldn't get rid of Shen Nanyan now, they felt relieved to see her being punished.

So when Shen Nanyue and Aunt Su arrived, they were already waiting to see the show.

"Oh, Fifth Sister and Concubine Su are late today. I'm afraid Nanny Yin will have to ask for family discipline and teach Concubine Su a lesson."

Shen Rongying couldn't wait to see Shen Nanyan feel uncomfortable, so she spoke without caring about anything else.

"Grandma, I only heard that Daddy asked Aunt Lan to manage the household. How come Fourth Sister is now the manager? However, Fourth Sister has inherited Aunt Lan's true teachings and is very thoughtful. She can even command the people in Grandma's courtyard. I am stupid and I am afraid I will never learn in this lifetime."

"you……"

Shen Rongying didn't expect Shen Nanyue to say that. She panicked for a moment and was about to curse when she was stopped by Aunt Lan.

"Madam, Rong Ying didn't mean that. It's just...it's just that the master kept telling her to control her sister, so she got a little anxious. Actually, she meant well. If the fifth young lady still doesn't know etiquette after she gets married, then it will be our Shen family who will be laughed at."

The old lady threw the object she was playing with onto the table, making a heart-wrenching sound.

"Haha... you and your daughter, relying on Zong Yuan's favor, have been acting lawless in the mansion, especially towards Yan'er and her daughter. Aunt Lan, now that you are the housekeeper, you naturally know how much money Aunt Su gives to the mansion every month. This alone makes her better than you. That is her private shop, and the money earned, whether it is a lot or a little, should all belong to her. But she took out so much money and never asked for credit. If you and your daughter were like this, I'm afraid your noses would be turned upside down."

Aunt Lan hurriedly knelt down and prostrated herself on the ground. She was truly even lower than a servant.

Over the years, the old lady has always disliked Aunt Lan, thinking that she only knows how to use some foxy tricks. It would be fine if she just seduced Shen Zongyuan every night, but she didn't even give birth to a son in all these years. The old lady didn't say anything about it.

But Aunt Lan was a scheming and domineering person, and she spoke in a two-faced way. When she was avoiding herself and Mrs. Lu, she acted like the main wife, competing with Mrs. Lu for everything, and completely forgot her status as a concubine. If the old lady had not been afraid of making her son sad, she would have wanted Shen Zongyuan to divorce her long ago.
