Favoring the concubine and ignoring the wife? The mistress is reborn and marries the villain in the

Chapter 105

Shen Ling fainted, but the servant of the Gu family opened the door immediately and asked the onlookers to help send Shen Ling back to the inn. They gave silver, and their people never approached Shen Ling from beginning to end.

Shen Ling's two half brothers followed behind and kept complaining that Shen Ling was useless.

Lord Shen was shocked when he saw Shen Ling being carried back.

"What happened to Ling'er? Did the Gu family murder my son?"

Everyone who had sent Shen Ling back was unhappy.

"Lord Shen, you can't just talk nonsense with your mouth open! What do you mean the Gu family murdered Master Shen? Everyone present saw clearly that Master Shen fainted on his own. No one from the Gu family even saw him, let alone touched him!"

"Now I finally understand why the Gu family didn't dare to open the door. They were afraid of being blackmailed."

People around were talking about it, and Lord Shen then realized that Shen Ling had not even met the Gu family, so naturally his wish was not fulfilled.

Lord Shen bowed and thanked the person who sent Shen Ling back, then called his two illegitimate sons Shen Feng and Shen Bin into his room to ask what was going on.

Both Shen Feng and Shen Bin looked angry.

"Dad, you don't know. My elder brother didn't even knock on the door when he arrived. He just knelt down at the front door of the Gu family and asked us to knock on the door. We couldn't get it open, but he didn't care."

Shen Feng felt very aggrieved: "Dad, we are also your sons. Although we were not born and raised by your wife, we are also your flesh and blood. Now you want us to live like this just for an older brother. How can you bear it?"

Lord Shen looked ashamed: "Feng'er, Bin'er, I'm sorry for wronging you, but now the Marquis' Mansion has fallen into such a situation, you brothers must work together to overcome the difficulties, otherwise we will not be able to face our ancestors even if we die in the future."

Lord Shen's words did not change the two illegitimate sons. They only knew that because of Prince Shen Ling, the marquis's mansion where they lived was gone, and the family was penniless. The money they paid for staying in the inn now came from the money their aunt had pawned her hair.

Now we have to invite a doctor to treat the prince, which is another huge expense.

"Dad, now my elder brother can't get any help from the Gu family, what should we do next? The yard is so small now, how can we live together as a family? It's inconvenient everywhere."

"Dad, if my friends knew that we don't even have our own mansion now, I wonder how they would laugh at us."

The two illegitimate sons said a lot of things, and Lord Shen was very troubled. He could not help them at all, so he could only let them go.

After the two illegitimate sons left, several concubines soon came to Lord Shen to cry and ask him to think of a solution as soon as possible. They were not used to living here, and it was not a good idea to just live off the wealth.

Lord Shen got angry and yelled at his concubines and drove them away. He was also at a loss as to what to do.

Lord Shen went to the Li family in the morning, but the eldest brother of the Li family didn't let him in. He, a dignified marquis, was turned away by a merchant family. He was so angry that he had to come back.

Unexpectedly, there was no progress at all on Shen Ling's side.

Hey, what should I do next? Shen Jiu is not around, and Lord Shen feels like he has lost his backbone.

After thinking about it, Lord Shen had no choice but to stay with Shen Ling.

Now the only person who can discuss things with him is Shen Ling.

Shen Ling had a fever and felt dizzy.

Lord Shen had no choice but to order Shen Feng and Shen Bin to invite a doctor to treat Shen Ling.

Gu Nianchu was at home, waiting for Gu Nianping to come back. Gu Nianping invited her to the study to discuss something. The brother and sister discussed for a long time, and then Gu Nianping went out.

The Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion became the laughing stock of the entire Zhou Dynasty. At the beginning, Marquis Shen was still able to control the concubines and illegitimate sons, but later on, the concubines and illegitimate sons had their own ideas, and now they all disliked Shen Ling.

They even discussed behind the scenes to get rid of Shen Ling. Now the General's Mansion, the Duke's Mansion and the Crown Prince are all dissatisfied with Shen Ling as the Prince. As long as Shen Ling dies, these people will probably let the Marquis' Mansion go, and then they will have the possibility of inheriting the Marquis' Mansion.

This made Lord Shen even more tired.

He also had to watch over Shen Ling day and night, otherwise the prince Shen Ling might be killed by his concubine and illegitimate son.

When Gu Nianchu heard about this, she was admiring flowers with Song Sisi, Zhang Yu and other sisters.

After the Chinese New Year, the temperature warmed up and the flowers bloomed. The young sisters couldn't help but call their friends to go out for a spring enjoyment.

Song Sisi vividly described to Gu Nianchu how pitiful Shen Ling was now. Gu Nianchu just smiled and said nothing. Zhang Yu smiled and pushed Song Sisi aside: "Sisi, Sister Gu is the wife of the prince, you should take it easy."

Song Sisi laughed, "Zhang Yu, do you really think Sister Gu is the Crown Prince's wife? I'm afraid no one in the entire Kyoto City thinks so. Now it's just that Shen Ling who is still dreaming of asking Sister Gu to forgive him and take the dowry to restore the glory of their Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."

"My father took some people to the inn yesterday. Lord Shen and Lord Shen were being forced to pay debts. Both of them were beaten black and blue. Lord Shen's concubines and illegitimate sons hid in the house and none of them came out, waiting for my father and his men to arrive. They just carried Lord Shen to the bed in a hurry, and no one cared about Lord Shen. Lord Shen just lay on the ground in the backyard of the inn. My father thought he was dead, so he went up to touch him and found that he was still breathing, so he asked people to carry him to the bed."

"The innkeeper must have received money from other people, so he was so kind as to let them stay and keep an eye on them."

Gu Nianchu smiled and said, "At that time, Lord Shen said that the 200,000 taels of silver that were robbed were loaned to them by the Liu family. Now it seems to be true."

Two hundred thousand taels of silver, how could the Liu family just lose it like that?

There were also people outside discussing Shen Ling's affairs. That person spoke with full confidence, as if he had seen it with his own eyes: "I tell you, that Master Shen now exudes a foul odor. Even the servants at the inn are unwilling to approach him. He is worse than a beggar."

"If you ask me, this is retribution. He didn't respect the legitimate wife of the general's mansion and insisted on marrying a concubine. Now he has lost both his wealth and his family. It is said that his concubine ran away with all the banknotes of the marquis' mansion."

"The Second and Third Masters of the Shen Family are now bent on killing Master Shen. They don't even send him food. It's just that the innkeeper is afraid that someone will die in his place, so he sends him some water and stale rice every day. Otherwise, he would have starved to death or died of thirst long ago."
