If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

"Are you Shen Suian?" Old Madam Bai stared at Shen Suian with critical and disgusted eyes.

The tone of the question was very disrespectful.

Shen Sui'an raised his lips slightly, and looked back calmly, "I have never seen this old man before. I wonder which distinguished guest of our Duke's Mansion he is?"

Lu Yan: "This is the old lady of the Bai family, my grandmother."

"Hmph, the granddaughter of Prime Minister Shen is actually like this, nothing special." Old Madam Bai snorted coldly.

"Fortunately, I didn't marry Heng Ge'er, so I would be worthy of Lu Yuan's concubine."

Shen Sui'an's eyes suddenly turned cold as he listened to Old Madam Bai humiliating Lu Yuan.

She thought of the old lady Bai in her previous life, who was completely different from the mean face in front of her. She would only hold her hand, and tell her kindly and gently about the difficulties of Mrs. Lu, and asked Shen Sui'an to find ways to help Lu Heng's future.

He also said that she was the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, and she should understand that the glory of the family depended on the forbearance of women behind the scenes.

Now I understand how a mother who could raise two daughters, Madam Lu and Concubine Bai, could not be a kind and benevolent person.

In the previous life, he was hypocritical in front of her, but now he is showing his true face.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Madam Bai. Compared with you, our Shen family is indeed far from enough in educating our girls." Shen Sui'an smiled lightly.

This is a satire on the fact that the two daughters raised by Old Madam Bai were either sentenced to death or confined to their homes. With such good education, what qualifications do they have to comment on others?

"What a sharp-tongued junior you are." Old Madam Bai sneered.

Since the other party acted like an elder, Shen Sui'an was too lazy to argue with her.

"I heard that Madam Lu has always been on good terms with Princess Yuanjia of the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion. If you are willing to come forward and plead for mercy and ask Doctor Zhou to treat my aunt, Princess Yuanjia should agree." Bai Shaojie looked at Shen Sui'an.

"The Prince of Zhennan is Princess Yuanjia's younger brother. He disappeared for a few days and almost didn't come back. If begging for mercy would be useful, why don't you go?" Ruan asked indifferently.

"As a daughter-in-law, shouldn't she try every possible means to cure her mother-in-law's illness?" Old Madam Bai pointed at Shen Sui'an and asked.

Ruan sneered, "Alright, you've been calling her a concubine all the time, but now Shen has become your daughter's daughter-in-law. If you don't know, you might think your daughter is someone else's concubine."

"What are you talking about!" Old Madam Bai was furious.

"You don't understand what I'm saying." Ruan asked.

Madam Bai's fingers trembled as she turned to Madam Lu and asked, "Are you just going to watch your younger generation being so rude?"

"He seemed fine normally, but I don't know what happened today. I'll discipline him when I get back." Mrs. Lu said with a smile.

I feel that Ruan and Shen Suian, who I always disliked, still have some good points today.

"I am indeed good friends with Princess Yuanjia, but the fact that Divine Doctor Zhou refused to see patients has nothing to do with Princess Yuanjia. It was not Princess Yuanjia who ordered Divine Doctor Zhou not to see patients." Shen Sui'an sighed lightly.

"If we can ask the Princess of Zhennan for help, perhaps Divine Doctor Zhou will change his mind. Madam Bai, you have a wide network of contacts and are highly respected. Perhaps the Princess will give you some face."

Based on the relationship between the princess and Concubine Bai, even if the Bai family knelt before her, it would be impossible for the princess to change her mind.

When Mrs. Lu saw that Mrs. Bai's face turned pale and blue due to anger, she was finally satisfied.

"Mother-in-law, you've been talking for a long time since you came in. Aren't you thirsty? Have a drink of water first."

"Madam Lu, since the Lu family has already planned to abandon my aunt, why not let her go back with us? Our Bai family will definitely do everything we can to cure her illness." Bai Shaojie said.

Shen Sui'an raised his eyes and glanced at the other person.

This was the young master of the Bai family who later secured a special shipping camp for the Bai family.

Although the Bai family is also a noble family, they are not valued by the current emperor because the old man of the Bai family once supported Prince Zhennan at all costs to compete with the current emperor for the position of heir.

Although members of the Bai family still serve as officials in the court today, they cannot touch the core positions.

In his previous life, Bai Shaojie was able to obtain shipping privileges, probably because of the Zhennan Palace.

No matter what, Shen Sui'an felt that Bai Shaojie should not be underestimated.

"We still need to discuss this matter." Uncle Lu did not agree immediately.

Madam Bai supported Bai Shaojie's hand and stood up. "I'll give you one day. If I can't find Dr. Zhou to treat Shuyun tomorrow, I will take her away from the Lu family."

"Goodbye." Without even taking a sip of tea, Old Madam Bai turned and left.

Passing by Shen Suian, Bai Shaojie looked at her deeply.

"Madam Lu, you should know the truth about the disappearance of the Prince of Zhennan. Don't treat others as fools." Bai Shaojie whispered.

Shen Sui'an looked back at him calmly, "Master Bai, do you know more about the inside story? Why didn't you tell Prince Zhennan clearly?"

Bai Shaojie chuckled and said, "Goodbye."

Uncle Lu also wanted to blame Shen Sui'an for being disrespectful to his elders.

Shen Sui'an said indifferently, "Whenever my wife is sick, my daughter-in-law is always there to take care of her. But my wife doesn't want to see me. In order to prevent her condition from getting worse, I'd better not show up again."

"If you ask me, since the Bai family wants to take her back, then let your wife go back to her parents' home to recuperate. If they can't take good care of her, that's their problem. Then they won't blame the Lu family anymore." said Old Lady Lu.

Mr. Lu had no choice but to ask the Duke for his opinion.

"Then let your mother-in-law take him back. Otherwise, with your mother-in-law's ability, the Lu family will have no peace." Duke Lu said.

Shen Sui'an did all the superficial work he should do, and didn't care whether Mrs. Lu stayed in the Lu family or the Bai family for treatment.

Because no matter where she is, Mrs. Lu will never get well.

There is no way Song Xiuzhi will come back again.

After being reborn to the present, all those who had hurt her have embarked on a different fate from their previous life.

She should also plan for a new future.

"Young Madam." Fuqiu walked in from outside and whispered, "Song Xiuzhi's daughter was sent to Huainan."

Shen Suian smiled lightly when she heard this, she really is worthy of being Concubine Yao.

She could already imagine what kind of life Lu Jingrou would live.

"Let our people withdraw and there's no need to keep an eye on them anymore," Shen Sui'an said.

On the same day that Mrs. Lu was taken away by the Bai family, Shen Sui'an bought five shops in Xishi for three thousand taels.

"Madam, although these shops are cheap, there aren't many people in West Market. Even if we want to do business, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a profit."

"It's a recession now, but it may not be the case in the future," Shen Sui'an said with a smile.

This time, she wants to take down the Marine Special Battalion.

Before that, she must make all preparations.

"I haven't visited all the farms this year. Let's go tomorrow," said Shen Sui'an.
