Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Seeing a man approaching, Aunt Su quickly put down the snacks, stood up and blocked Shen Nanyue behind her, looking at Yu Qingcang with caution.

"Sir, please stay and don't come forward."

Aunt Su's words made Yu Qingcang pause and look confused.

"Although this happened in broad daylight, Miss Fifth is still unmarried. I hope you will forgive me."

"What's the big deal, we..."

"What Aunt Su said makes sense, but we know the Fifth Miss and just came over to say hello."

When Yu Qingcang was about to refute, Shang Ci came over. What surprised Shen Nanyan was that he actually knew his mother.

"Mom, we do know each other."

"That won't do either. If someone sees you with a stranger, who knows what will happen in the future. Rumors can kill, so you have to be on guard."

"Fifth Miss, Aunt Su is right. This woman's reputation is greater than heaven, so we should be more cautious."

Shen Nanyan walked out and bowed slightly to Yu Qingcang and Shang Ci.

"Mother, these two are Master Yu from the Shangshu Mansion and the Crown Prince from the Rongguo Mansion. My brother and I have met them before. They are not bad people."

Aunt Su didn't say anything, just nodded at the two of them. When she looked at Shen Nanyan again, her eyes hinted that she was about to leave. Shen Nanyan naturally understood what she meant, and she took Aunt Su's hand and prepared to leave.

"Prince, Master Yu, we still have to wait for Grandmother to leave, so we won't disturb you any further."

Yu Qingcang wanted to say something, but Shang Ci didn't give him a chance.

"Okay, walk slowly."

Although Shen Nanyan had already raised her foot, Aunt Su was even more anxious and wanted her to run. However, after taking a few steps, Shen Nanyan suddenly pulled Aunt Su to stop.

"Prince, may I ask...is there any news from the border?"

Hearing the word "border", Aunt Su also turned around and looked at Shang Ci.

"Everything seems to be going smoothly. If there are no other unexpected events, Your Highness can return to the capital with the army in June at the latest."

"June, that's still two months left, thank you, Prince!"

"polite."

After turning around again, Aunt Su's face showed a slight smile of relief. She would be able to see her son in two months. She wondered if Shen Yunzhi had lost weight.

"Miss Fifth."

As soon as Shen Nanyan turned around, Shang Ci called her. When Shen Nanyan turned around, she saw Shang Ci hesitated to speak, as if he had something to say.

"Does the prince have anything else to do?"

"No, I heard there are snakes in the cypress forest outside the temple. Fifth Miss and Aunt Su, please be careful."

"it is good."

In fact, there was no snake at all. It was just that Shang Ci's people saw something they shouldn't have seen. This matter was naturally related to the Su family, but Shang Ci didn't want to say it out loud, so he stopped talking.

Shen Nanyan also found it strange. It was normal to have snakes in the woods, not to mention that she was in the temple. What did what happened outside have to do with her? But Shang Ci was not Yu Qingcang. He would not speak without reason. There must be other meanings.

So Shen Nanyan asked Caifu to go to the temple gate to check if there was anything unusual, but Caifu came back after a long time and said she found nothing. Outside the gate were carriages and waiting servants from various families, nothing else.

At noon, everyone had a vegetarian meal in the temple. Perhaps because they had been busy all morning, everyone had a good appetite. Even the old lady drank more soup. Only Aunt Lan didn't move her chopsticks much. Her eyes were a little blurry, as if she hadn't woken up yet.

After the vegetarian meal, the carriage started to return to the city. The old lady also asked the carriage to stay at a farm outside the city for two hours to satisfy everyone's desire to go out for an outing and plant willows. She also walked for a while longer accompanied by Aunt Su. The sun was not hot at the moment, and it felt warm on her body, which was very comfortable.

It was already 3 p.m. when they returned home contentedly. Shen Zongyuan personally met the old lady at the door. The whole family entered the mansion happily. Aunt Lan took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and stuffed a peace amulet into Shen Zongyuan's palm. The two looked at each other, and Aunt Lan's eyes were full of shyness.

Sure enough, after Shen Zongyuan sent the old lady back to the courtyard, he went to Aunt Lan. Aunt Lan told Shen Zongyuan tenderly about how she had asked for a peace amulet for him. Under the warm candlelight, Aunt Lan seemed unusually charming, which made Shen Zongyuan's heart flutter.

When the weather gradually became warmer, Mrs. Lu had someone send bamboo fungus and hibiscus soup to Shen Zongyuan every day. Shen Zongyuan was naturally cautious and only ate it after seeing a doctor. Over time, he became less wary of Mrs. Lu and even praised her occasionally. This period of time was when Shen Zongyuan was most satisfied with Mrs. Lu.

On the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, four shops were opened in Shangjing. Although the operations of the shops were different and the sizes of the shops varied, they were all under Shen Nanyan's name. Fortunately, the Su family also had plenty of experience, so Shen Nanyan was much more relaxed. She returned home early today. However, as soon as she entered the door, she heard that something big had happened in the Shen family. The old lady fainted from anger, and Shen Nanyan hurried to the old lady's yard.

When I arrived, I saw Shen Yunyi kneeling in the corridor, and with him was Tang Manrou, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

In her previous life, after deceiving her brother, Shen Nanyan remembered that Tang Manrou hooked up with Yue Hanzhou's younger brother. Why did things change in this life? She actually returned to the Shen family and knelt with Shen Yunyi. Could it be...

Without thinking too much, Shen Nanyan entered the room first. Shen Zongyuan and others gathered around the bed and called out to the old lady, but the old lady was pale, her whole body was shaking, and her breathing was not smooth. Shen Nanyan quietly reached out and touched the old lady's feet, which were also cold. It seemed that the situation was not optimistic.

"Daddy, please stop crowding around Grandma. Let's spread out a little. Nanny Yin, have someone open the doors and windows."

"Yan'er."

Aunt Su pulled her daughter and signaled her not to worry about it. If something bad happened, who knows what would happen.

"Fifth Miss, stop making random arrangements here. I've already sent for a doctor, as if you know anything about medicine."

Ever since Aunt Lan was punished by the old lady and quarreled with Shen Zongyuan last time, she was depressed for a while and then became even more mean than before.

Right now, he is not soft-hearted at all when targeting Shen Nanyan, perhaps because he knows that she can no longer rely on Shen Yunzhi.

"If I really understood, would Aunt Lan be afraid?"

"Master, listen to Yan'er. This child has always been calm. Besides, the doctor hasn't come yet. It's better not to delay the time."

Mrs. Lu's voice was unusually gentle, and for the first time ever, she spoke up for Shen Nanyan.

"Yan'er, stop making trouble and wait for the doctor."

However, Shen Zongyuan did not listen to Lu's suggestion and did not even respond to her, which made Lu unhappy.

"Dad, grandma has trouble breathing and her face is pale. Even if the doctor comes, he won't be able to help. Just listen to your daughter and give it a try."

"You...what are you talking about? You're actually talking about...about your grandmother."

"Dad, it's taboo to treat illnesses. You may not like to hear it, but this is the truth. Nanny Yin, please ask everyone to leave and open the doors and windows. Quickly."

Without caring about Shen Zongyuan's expression, Shen Nanyue directly ordered Nanny Yin. Nanny Yin was also shocked by Shen Nanyue's momentum and hurriedly asked people to do as she said.
