Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

The doctor who went to prescribe the medicine was called back, and Aunt Lan had been carried into the old lady's room and was now lying on the couch.

Although Mrs. Lu didn't say anything, she really despised Aunt Lan's way of showing weakness. Shen Zongyuan didn't treat her the same way as before. Did she think that fainting and pretending to be weak would make Shen Zongyuan feel distressed again?

Except for Shen Rongying who was genuinely nervous, everyone else in the room had a calm expression. Even Shen Zongyuan was sitting quietly drinking tea.

In fact, Shen Zongyuan had been disappointed with Aunt Lan since Lu reported Shen Yunzhi's military service to the old lady. Although he drank on New Year's Eve, he knew that he had said some things to Aunt Lan. He thought Aunt Lan was his closest person, and if he told her about this, she would keep her mouth shut. Who would have thought that the news would be leaked that night? Shen Zongyuan felt betrayed by his lover at the time. His true feelings were used as a bargaining chip by Aunt Lan. How despicable it was.

Shen Zongyuan did not question Aunt Lan about this matter in person, because in his heart, it was no longer important. No matter what Aunt Lan's reasons were, it could not change the fact that she betrayed him.

"Congratulations, old lady, congratulations, Mr. Shen, Aunt Lan is pregnant!"

The room suddenly became silent.

After a while, Shen Zongyuan stood up and walked towards Aunt Lan, his eyes full of joy. Aunt Lan had been wanting to have another child for many years, but there had been no movement in her belly for a long time. Now she was finally pregnant, so Shen Zongyuan was naturally happy.

"Xin'er, you're pregnant."

"Yes, I'm pregnant, Master."

Aunt Lan was also very excited, with tears welling up in her eyes.

Shen Nanyan and her daughter looked at each other. Although there was an accident, it had nothing to do with them, so no one spoke. Instead, Mrs. Lu was stunned. If Aunt Lan was pregnant again and gave birth to a daughter, it would not be a problem. She was just afraid that it would be a son. Although the son was young, Shen Zongyuan had a son at an old age, and he was born by Aunt Lan... The more Mrs. Lu thought about it, the angrier she became. Shen Yunzhi had not been eliminated yet, and another one came. It was endless.

Even if Mrs. Lu hated the child so much, she couldn't show any emotion at the moment. Otherwise, if the child really died, she would be the first person to be suspected.

"Oh, our sister Lan is really capable. Rongying is so old, and she can still get pregnant again. It's really a blessing for the master and the Shen family. Zhao Ma, quickly go and stew the thousand-year-old ginseng that my brother sent from the warehouse for sister Lan. This woman needs to be well nourished when she is pregnant."

Shen Zongyuan felt comfortable with Lu's generosity, and his eyes became softer when he looked at her.

"Madam's things, I dare not take them. If Madam really loves me, why not let Madam take care of my baby? Madam is the mistress of the Shen family. With Madam taking care of me, no one else dares to have any bad intentions, and I can feel more at ease."

These words sounded like a compliment to Lu, but in fact they were hinting that Lu would be detrimental to him. Lu's face instantly turned dark, then he closed his eyes and smiled again.

"Sister, you really think highly of me. Since you said so, I can't refuse. But sister Lan is the apple of my eye. I'm afraid that the master is worried. I have to find someone reliable to take care of her."

While Mrs. Lu was speaking, she looked at Aunt Su. Aunt Su lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look up. No one wanted to take responsibility for this matter. Wouldn't that just cause trouble for themselves?

"You are the mistress of the Shen family. Who could be more reliable than you? Since Xin'er trusts you, don't refuse. Besides, Xin'er is pregnant, so it's not easy to worry about the affairs of the mansion anymore. You can take care of everything. Just be kind to Xin'er."

Aunt Lan opened her eyes slightly and opened her mouth to stop them, but Shen Rongying turned her head to stop her. However, Aunt Lan was still a little unwilling to accept that the housekeeper power that she had obtained with great difficulty had returned to the hands of the Lu family.

But right now, Shen Zongyuan was also doing this for her own good. If she continued to hold on to the housekeeper power, Shen Zongyuan would inevitably be unhappy. Aunt Lan clutched the handkerchief in her hand, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down. After all, she would have to take the housekeeper power back after the baby was born.

When she heard that the power of housekeeper was back in her hands, Mrs. Lu was very happy and agreed to everything. She immediately ordered someone to bring a sedan chair to send Aunt Lan back to the yard.

Everyone left in a hurry, and the old lady's room became quiet in an instant. Shen Nanyue and Aunt Su took care of the old lady to sleep, and then left together. On the way back to the courtyard, Aunt Su lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking about. Shen Nanyue did not disturb her, but a moment later, Aunt Su spoke first.

"From now on, stay away from Aunt Lan, especially when no one is around."

Shen Nanyan raised her lips and smiled, feeling somewhat comforted.

"What are you afraid of, mother?"

"If Madam takes on the task of taking care of Aunt Lan, then she won't do it herself and can only shift the blame to others. In this case, my mother and I are the best candidates in this mansion."

"Well, it's like this. Mom is very smart today."

"Silly girl, do I, your mother, have no brains? Remember, you are not allowed to meet Aunt Lan alone. If you meet her on the road, you must stay away from her. If you really can't avoid her, don't stop at all. We must not interfere in this matter."

"My daughter knows, and mother should also remember that you are not allowed to go to not only Aunt Lan's courtyard, but also Mrs. Lu's courtyard, especially when I am not around."

"Speaking of which, as a girl, don't run around outside all day. People will laugh at you if they find out. By the way, is your brother coming back soon?"

"Well, there's still about a month left. Then I'll ask Grandma to let Mom go with me to pick up my brother from outside the city."

"Just go ahead. I'll be waiting for him at home. It's not good for a concubine to go out all the time."

The two's guess was absolutely correct. Although Mrs. Lu agreed to take care of Aunt Lan, her intention to abort the child had not changed at all. Now that she had the power to manage the household, it would be more convenient for her to do things. Was she still afraid that she would not have the opportunity to abort the fetus?

Shen Zongyuan stayed in Aunt Lan's courtyard until dark before coming out. After returning to the front hall, he instructed the housekeeper to arrange a few smart people to serve Aunt Lan. Then he looked at Shen Yunyi and Tang Manrou standing in the hall.

The whole day, the mansion was in chaos because of the two of them. Originally, Shen Zongyuan wanted to take care of the daughter of an old friend, but he didn't expect that Tang Manrou, who had left the Shen family, would get involved with his own son. Shen Zongyuan frowned.

"Manrou, your father and I are old friends. Tell me what you did. How can I go down to see your father a hundred years from now?"

"Uncle Shen, it's Manrou's fault. It has nothing to do with you, Uncle Shen. A few days after Manrou went to my aunt's house, a fire broke out in my mother's house. Manrou became an orphan without anyone to rely on. I didn't dare to bother Uncle Shen again, so I could only wander the streets. That's when I was lucky enough to meet Brother Yun. Originally, we didn't...there was nothing, but as time went by, we fell in love. Manrou knew I was wrong, but she couldn't help it. Manrou wanted to have a family too much. It's all Manrou's fault. I beg Uncle Shen to help us because I'm pregnant with Brother Yunyi's child."

Tang Manrou immediately knelt on the ground, but Shen Yunyi beside her seemed to be fine and stood there motionless.
