Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 528 Aunt? Shen Wenting takes another concubine

In the Shangshu Mansion, Shen Wenting suddenly brought back someone and said that this was a woman he rescued when he went to repair the imperial mausoleum. This woman was resourceful, and he was able to complete the task assigned by the emperor thanks to her. Recently, the woman's family had an unexpected change and she was left without anyone to rely on. After he learned the news, he took the person back to his mansion and finally decided to make her his concubine.

Yan Huan originally thought that if her aunt died, she would be the only woman in the mansion, and no one would compete with her for favor. She could live peacefully in the Shangshu Mansion. However, who would have thought that within two days, Shen Wenting would bring a woman back.

She was quite resentful, but the nanny beside her comforted her, saying that it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and that there was no such thing as a cat that did not eat fish. As long as she did not threaten her position, it would be better to turn a blind eye. If she dared to go beyond her control, then just deal with it directly. She was just a concubine, and there were hundreds of ways to get rid of her.

Soon, the news that Shen Wenting had taken a concubine again spread in the capital. Although Yan Huan felt uncomfortable, he had no choice but to accept it.

The new concubine was named Zhong Xi, who looked older than Yan Huan and gave people a feeling of maturity, stability, honesty and duty. Yan Huan thought that this woman was a little girl, which was why Shen Wenting was bewitched by her. She suddenly felt relieved when she saw her appearance. She was young and had money, so this village woman was nothing to compare with her. Her husband asked her to come into the house just to express his gratitude for her help in repairing the imperial mausoleum. It was a pity that her family encountered a sudden change, so he took her as a concubine. As a result, he did not take her seriously and gave up the idea of making things difficult for her.

Yao Qingnian came to the Shen residence that day to give the old lady the last acupuncture treatment.

When I arrived at the old lady's yard, I heard the sounds of laughter coming from inside.

"Aunt Zhong, I didn't expect that you are also proficient in medicine. You are amazing. I feel relieved to have you helping the old lady." The nanny praised.

"Yes, she is a good one. I always feel that Aunt Zhong is inexplicably familiar. Maybe this is fate! You helped Wen Ting, and he told me that from now on, just stay in the mansion with peace of mind. This is your home." The old lady was also very satisfied with her son's new concubine. She seemed to be a practical and capable person. After such an illness, she liked to have someone to serve and accompany her. She took off the bracelet on her hand and put it on Aunt Zhong's hand.

"Thank you, old lady." After accepting the things, Aunt Zhong stood aside obediently.

A servant came to report that Yao Qingnian had arrived, and the group stopped chatting.

"Madam Shen, I came here today to give you the last acupuncture. Your body has almost recovered now, so you won't need acupuncture starting tomorrow. Just continue to take the medicine for a while and take good care of yourself." Although Yao Qingnian didn't want to come to the Shen Mansion, she had accepted their money and had to find out the final truth, so she had no choice but to come.

Lu Huaijin was also helping to look for the female doctor, but as time had passed, it was not easy to find her.

"Thank you for your hard work, girl. This is your father's newly married concubine Zhong. She also knows a little about medicine. She massaged me for a while just now, and my whole body feels much better." The old lady couldn't hide her smile on her face, and then introduced: "Concubine Zhong, this is Wen Ting's eldest daughter, Miss Nianran."

"Hello, Miss." Aunt Zhong looked at her meaningfully and bowed.

"You are mistaken. I am not the eldest daughter of the Shen family." Yao Qingnian looked at the concubine. She thought the same as the outside world. She thought that Shen Wenting's new concubine would be a beautiful lady, but she looked like an ordinary woman. However, the look in the concubine's eyes seemed a little unpredictable. She didn't think much about it, retracted her gaze, and then looked at the old lady and said, "Old Madam Shen, Lord Shen is not my father now, but I want to congratulate him for marrying such a capable and down-to-earth concubine."

The old lady's smile froze on her face, and she didn't say anything else. She asked them to leave and left Yao Qingnian to examine her and give her acupuncture.

"How is your brother?" the old lady asked after everyone left.

"It's recovering pretty well. I believe it won't take long before you'll be fully recovered."

"Really? That's great." Upon hearing that Shen Jinghong was able to recover, the old lady showed a look of surprise on her face.

"Yeah." Yao Qingnian didn't say anything more and continued to give the old lady acupuncture. After the treatment was completed, she packed up and went back.

When I walked to the door, I met the nanny beside the old lady.

"Miss, are you leaving?"

"Well, Madam, you look so happy, it seems like something good is going to happen?"

"No, I just wanted to show the new aunt around the mansion. However, she seems to be quite familiar with the mansion. It seems that she has already walked around the mansion in the past two days."

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Miss, take care." The nanny bowed politely.

After Shen Wenting came back, he came to visit the old lady in her courtyard. The old lady mentioned the matter of recognizing the two children. Before, she thought that Shen Jinghong had become a fool and it was useless to come back, but now it was different: "Wenting, Nianran came over today. I heard from her that Jinghong was treated very well. Maybe he will be able to recover in a few days."

"Mom, how is this possible? That girl must have tricked you into convincing me to bring them back."

"I don't think so. You should think about it again! You've been back for so long, and Yan Huan's belly is still not moving. Mother is worried about the offspring in the mansion."

"Okay, mother, I understand. I will find some time to inquire about Shen Jinghong's condition. If he is really well, I will bring him back home." Shen Wenting followed the old lady's words.

Yao Qingnian felt that the concubine looked quite normal, but he couldn't tell what was wrong with her. After returning to the Duke's Mansion, he talked about this matter with Chen Shuhua and others.

"Mom, let me tell you, I went to the Shen Mansion today and met Shen Wenting's new aunt."

"What's so strange about marrying a new concubine? Don't mention her and affect my mother's mood." Chen Shuhua didn't care. Her mind was filled with the scene of her and Zheng Cheng together yesterday, and her face turned red unconsciously.

"Mom, mom?" Yao Qingnian waved her hand in front of her face: "What's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?"

"Hmm? No, it's just a little hot. What did you say, Qingnian?"

Is it hot? It's almost winter.

"I think Shen Wenting's new concubine is a little weird." Yao Qingnian felt that Concubine Zhong was not simple...
