Shen Ci's face was extremely ugly.

Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Master, my eldest brother is here to apologize to you because my second brother took your prescription to the Imperial Hospital to have it inlaid with gold."

This sounded strange, and Shen Ci felt uncomfortable listening to it.

But no matter how much he blamed her, it was still a way out, so he quickly put the things down and said, "Yes, uncle, my second brother was indeed wrong in that matter, I apologize to you on his behalf. For Ruyi's sake, please forgive him."

As he said this, he glanced at Shen Ruyi.

Shen Ruyi rolled her eyes secretly.

Shen Ci bullied her, but she wanted her master to forgive Shen Ci for her sake. How ridiculous is that?

But, as the eldest brother, he can say it openly. Don’t you think it’s strange?

Sure enough, the old beggar sneered when he heard this.

"I can't afford to give Ruyi a hard time. If you say that those prescriptions were sent to the Imperial Hospital for Ruyi, then you are still talking humanely."

"But that recipe was given to him by my Ruyi who asked him to do something for her. He didn't get anything done, but he used up the recipe. Now he wants to borrow Ruyi's face and ask me to forgive him?"

"Shen Yu."

Suddenly, the old beggar called his name and asked seriously, "Why do you think I gave Ruyi the prescription?"

Shen Yu was stunned. He couldn't understand why.

Finally, I had to say: "Because you like Ruyi, so you gave her a gift..."

"wrong!"

The old beggar interrupted him, his face turned ugly, "I was afraid that she would be wronged in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so I gave her the prescription so that Shen Ci could take care of her a little. But what about Shen Ci? What about you? What about your father?"

With a loud shout, the old beggar got angry and said, "How did you treat her?"

Shen Yu was confused. How could these words be exactly the same as the message Li Xiangyi sent to Shen Cangyun back then?

What is it about Shen Ruyi that would make such a group of people do anything for her?

He couldn't understand, couldn't figure it out, and felt a little jealous.

Finally, I had to ask the old beggar, "Why do you want to protect Ruyi?"

Shen Yu was completely confused, staring at the old man in front of him, and suddenly realized that he might have some connection with his family.

Otherwise, why would he want to protect Shen Ruyi?

But then I thought about it again and felt that it was not right.

If he has a connection with the Shen family, shouldn't he protect everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Why is Shen Ruyi?

"Also, why do you think Ruyi would be wronged? The Prime Minister's Mansion is her home!"

Shen Yu frowned, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

The old beggar sneered when he heard this, and said sarcastically: "How dare you say that? Back then, when your mother passed away, it was because your father didn't take good care of her. He left her alone on a rainy day, which led to her falling and having a miscarriage."

"You and your brothers are also responsible. You all went to Huangjue Temple together, but you were too busy playing and forgot to take care of your mother, which led to her falling and bleeding profusely."

"But you all think that her death was caused by Ruyi."

"Shen Cangyun was drunk, pointing at Ruyi's nose and yelling at her, saying she was a jinx and that she killed your mother. You guys were all there at the time, giving Ruyi a cold look. Shen Ci even pointed at Ruyi's nose and said that if he hadn't given birth to Ruyi, he wouldn't have lost his mother."

"Do you have any shame?"

The old beggar sneered and threw away the things he brought. "After Shen Jiaojiao came, how did you treat her? Why don't you brothers go to Xifeng Courtyard? What does Xifeng Courtyard look like? Are you blind and can't see it?"

“That’s it, you still dare to ask me to do it for Ruyi’s sake?”

"joke!"

The good wine and top-quality Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng that Shen Ci had sent were thrown into the alley. The old beggar narrowed his eyes with a cold gleam in his eyes, "Go back and tell Shen Cangyun that I didn't go to the Imperial Hospital in person to ask Shen Ci to hand over the prescription. I've already given him face."

"If he dares to push his nose and face you again, be careful that I won't be polite."

The old beggar was wearing tattered clothes, but when he was angry, he had a kingly aura that swept the whole place, which was extremely shocking.

He is definitely not an ordinary beggar.

Somewhere in this world, he must have another daunting name!

When Shen Yu thought of this, his face turned pale.

It was not just because he was scolded by him, but also because of the terrifying internal strength revealed by the other party, which made his blood boil. If he was not careful, he would spit out a mouthful of hot blood.

Finally, he could only walk out of the door in shame, and stood outside the door and asked the old beggar, "Old man, I understand that you are angry, and I apologize to you. But I came here today to ask for a favor. Even if you don't want to give Ruyi face, at least help her to protect her reputation."

As he said this, he condescended to kneel down outside the door.

As the saying goes: Don't hit someone who smiles at you.

He had already knelt down, and no matter what, the old beggar should not be angry with him anymore.

Through the door, Shen Ruyi's eyes fell on his face, feeling an indescribable sense of irony.

He said he came to apologize, but in fact he was threatening.

And for her reputation?

That's really funny.

The old beggar was also amused and looked at Shen Yu, "Why are you doing this for Ruyi's reputation?"

He knew that the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were shameless, but he didn't expect them to be shameless to this extent.

How can you say such nonsense with such confidence, as if you are very right?

It really opened his eyes!

Shen Yu took a deep breath, raised his head and said confidently: "You also know that Jiaojiao is her twin. She has been spoiled in the Prime Minister's Mansion for many years, but Jiaojiao has suffered a lot of grievances outside. As a sister, she obviously has a way to cure her sister's stomach disease, but she has always been unwilling to do it and kept it hidden."

"If this gets out, people will think she's narrow-minded and cold-hearted. If Jiaojiao really gets into trouble, won't the one people criticize and blame be Ruyi?"

"Besides, she will soon marry into the Gu family together with Jiaojiao. At that time, the two sisters will share the same husband. If Jiaojiao's stomach disease is not cured and her health deteriorates day by day, what good reputation can she leave behind?"

"That's why I said that if you help Jiaojiao, you are helping Ruyi."

"They are two sisters, and they rise and fall together."

After saying that, he looked at the old beggar with a righteous look on his face and asked, "Senior, do you think what I said is right?"

"Oh."

The old beggar was so angry that he laughed.

Before speaking, he slapped him in the face from a distance.

After slapping Shen Yu away, he walked out of the door in the snow and stood at the gate.

"Shen Yu, if that's what you said, then I'll tell you the truth. Ruyi is Ziwei Fuxing, a disciple of Prajna Hall. What she wears on her head is the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin bestowed by the late emperor."

"Throughout the dynasties, only the empress dowager and the queen were qualified to wear the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin on the altar when offering sacrifices to heaven and earth."

"The late emperor broke the precedent and bestowed this hairpin to show that the father of Concubine Yinghe had made great contributions. How could the owner of this hairpin be compared to a mere Shen Jiaojiao!"
