Chapter 110 Grasp
She was angry when the old lady said this before. She even dared to say that. She really thought the eldest son of the family was easy to bully.
The anger on Yun's face was not concealed, and the Fourth Madam was really afraid that Yun would tell Chen Ji.
The old lady said, "Can't you just let me be in peace for a few days?!"
The Second Madam said to Yun, "I know that the eldest sister-in-law is angry, but the fourth sister-in-law can't be blamed for this. My second and fourth wives have been so worried about Wu'er and Yao'er being poisoned these past few days. We finally had a glimmer of hope, but the second lady just threw it away."
Yun said, "You're angry that Wan'er didn't tell you the letter, but ask yourselves, is Wan'er's worry unnecessary?"
After living under the same roof for so many years, how could she not understand them?
If what the letter said was true, she would give them the antidote for ten thousand taels and save Shen Wu and Shen Yao's lives. If not, she would give them the antidote without the ten thousand taels in the end, and she and Wan'er would never have peace.
The Second Madam had something else to say, but the Old Madam scolded her, "Is this the time to argue about these things? Wu'er and Yao'er are still unconscious."
The second and fourth wives stopped talking.
The old lady looked at Yun and said, "I know you and Wan'er are worried, but we have no other choice now. Take 10,000 taels from the public treasury to buy the antidote."
Yun frowned, "Old Madam, do you mean that Mr. Qian came inside?"
The Fourth Lady asked, "What do you mean, sister-in-law? When someone in the mansion gets sick, it's always paid for by the government."
Yun looked at the Fourth Madam, and some words were on the tip of her tongue, but she held them back.
Yun asked, "Can this ten thousand taels be considered medical fees? The Duke has entrusted me with the management of the household expenses. If he later discovers this large expense in the account and asks about it, how should I answer?"
"Without the Duke's consent, I won't let Gongzhong take the money."
Yun was resolute.
He repeatedly ignored Shen Ji's words and asked Gongzhong to pay for it when something went wrong.
The public house belongs to everyone, but if the family is really divided, the eldest branch will take the largest share. This is equivalent to using the eldest branch's money to help them deal with the aftermath. How could the Yun family agree to this?
She didn't object to death either. As long as Shen Ji agreed to let Gongzhong pay the money, she would have nothing to say.
But the problem is that they don't even dare to let Shen Ji know how Shen Wu and Shen Yao were poisoned, so how can they dare to hope that Shen Ji will agree to pay for it?
If you go to Chen Ji, not only will you not get the money, you will also be punished.
After Yun and Shen Wan left, the Second Madam gritted her teeth in anger. The Old Madam said, "The Second and Fourth Houses each pay five thousand taels."
Neither the Second Lady nor the Fourth Lady said they would not take it. After all, it was their own daughter who was waiting for the antidote to save her life.
Their daughter has suffered so much for just two boxes of rouge, and she even has to spend money on it. They will get back the losses with interest!
The next day, the money was collected, and the old lady asked Shen Li to exchange the antidote, "Bring back the antidote and the banknotes as well."
Just as Shen Li was about to nod, Shen Wan said, "If you are not sure, let the second brother handle this matter."
If he is not sure, his second brother will be even less so.
Just as Shen Li was about to speak, Shen Wan said, “Those two boxes of rouge, I’m not sure if they were directed at me, but threatening the Duke Dingguo’s Mansion is real, and most people don’t have the courage to do such a thing.
Someone sent a letter to give the third and sixth sisters a chance to survive. Big brother is using this opportunity to exchange for the antidote to catch the person who poisoned them. If he fails, then the third and sixth sisters will have no chance of survival."
Shen Li wanted to catch the person who poisoned Shen Wan and vent his anger. In addition, this was a matter of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, so he felt it was his duty.
Upon hearing this, Yun said, "You are so reckless. I am worried. Let your second brother go."
Is he reckless?
Chen Li pointed at himself and was about to retort, but Yun glared at him and stopped him from speaking.
The second and fourth houses are not people who can be provoked, and there are people in the mansion who are willing to exchange for antidotes, so there is no need for the eldest house to get involved in this mess.
Yun Shi didn't allow Chen Li to take on this matter, and the old lady couldn't do anything about Yun Shi.
The task of exchanging the antidote still fell on Chen Xun's head.
After leaving Shou'an Hall, there was no one around, so Shen Li asked Shen Wan, "Why didn't my sister let me go?"
Shen Wan said, "Brother, go and exchange the antidote. Who will help me exchange the silver notes?"
Shen Li, “…???”
Shen Wan handed a small medicine bottle to Shen Li, "This is the antidote. Big brother, please bring me the banknotes."
Shen Li, “…???”
Chen Li's eyes almost popped out of his head, "Did you poison me?"
Shen Wan said, "I have shown mercy."
Chen Wan told Chen Li that those people had replaced the Lingxi incense given to her and Shen Yu by the Yun family, and wanted to make them unable to get pregnant for the rest of their lives. Chen Li was so angry that he almost crushed the antidote in his hand.
at last--
Shenyun went to change the antidote.
The antidote was recovered, but the banknotes were taken away and he was beaten up.
He was carried back with a bruised face and nose.
When Chen Xun was carried back to the mansion, Chen Wan was in the garden. Really, if she hadn't known it was Chen Xun, she wouldn't have dared to recognize him.
This time, big brother is ruthless.
Chen Xun brought this upon himself. Chen Li took the banknote and gave him the antidote. As soon as Chen Xun got the antidote, he immediately turned hostile and wanted to take the banknote back. Chen Li was already furious and had no place to vent it, and Chen Xun was looking for a fight. It would be strange if he didn't take the opportunity to vent his anger on Chen Wan and Shen Yu.
Chen Xun was beaten and carried back home. This was no small matter, and Chen Ji couldn't help but ask about it. When he asked, Yun told him the whole story.
Chen Ji was so angry that if Chen Yu and Shen Wan were not about to get married and the old lady was not ill, he would really have separated the second and fourth rooms.
There is no way to divide the family at the moment, so we can only punish them severely.
Poor Second Master had just recovered from his injury for a few days when he was beaten with forty sticks again. Fortunately, this time he had Fourth Master to keep him company.
Shen Xun brought back the antidote and asked a doctor to check it. Only after confirming that there was no problem did Shen Wu and Shen Yao dare to take it. After they took the antidote, by the evening of the same day, the swelling on their faces, which had been as red as pig heads, had subsided.
Chen Wu and Shen Yao were detoxified, and everyone in Duke Dingguo's mansion breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s not that they are too worried about Chen Wu and Shen Yao, but the Lantern Festival will be held in Kyoto in a few days. If the poison of the two is not cured and the old lady is in a bad mood, even Chen Wan and the others may not be able to leave the house to visit the Lantern Festival, let alone the maids and servants in the house.
Shen Wan is also looking forward to the upcoming Lantern Festival.
