Chapter 64 The truth I dare not face



Shen Jiaojiao thought so and said to Songhua, "Go find Mother Yuan later. I want to see her."

Songhua nodded and left Jiaoyangyuan.

Shen Ruyi read until the afternoon.

After several days of hard study, she has memorized the acupuncture point map by heart. Now, even with her eyes closed, she can draw the eight extraordinary meridians, the major acupuncture points passing through them, and their uses.

Even she herself felt that she was suitable for this.

Unfortunately, in her previous life, she wasted her best life by focusing on the Shen family and Gu Qinghua.

In the evening, Han Jiang arrived.

"His Highness said that this was brought from the palace and is specially used to treat frostbite. It is given to the girl."

Han Jiang stood at the door, looking at the people in the room, with a kind look on his face, as if he was looking at his eldest sister, "Miss, have you thought about how to deal with the next thing?"

Fangfei took the ointment and applied it to Shen Ruyi.

Shen Ruyi was somewhat touched, "Thank your Highness for me."

He added, "It was difficult to deal with at first, but after His Highness Zuixinlou asked someone to come forward last time, it became much easier to deal with. Tell His Highness not to worry, and I will not break my promise to him."

Han Jiang nodded, "His Highness said that he would personally go to the birthday banquet for the old lady in the Shangshu Mansion."

"So, the girl won't be too nervous."

Han Jiang had a smile on his face.

The more he looked at Shen Ruyi, the more comfortable he felt.

She is not timid, she is steady in her actions, and she is shrewd and worthy of the position of the Ninth Prince's consort.

Then he said, "Your Highness is looking for a garden recently. If you like any garden in the capital, you can tell me and I will tell Your Highness."

"Looking for a garden?"

Shen Ruyi was stunned and for a moment she didn't dare to guess what Han Jiang meant.

Han Jiang smiled and said, "Just find a place for you to live. After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, you must have a place to stay. Then, we can do the rest step by step."

Shen Yu couldn't help blushing when he heard the "rest of things".

But the timing was not right, nor was it the time to speak out, so he shook his head and said, "Tell His Highness that there is no need to buy a garden. After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, I will have my own place to live."

"That's fine."

Han Jiang wanted to say something else, but thinking of his master's instructions, he could only say, "The girl is busy now, I will take my leave now."

After taking two steps, he suddenly thought of something, "Oh, there is one more thing. His Highness asked me to tell you that Master Shen came to the palace today and went to see Imperial Physician Yan. He said that using the blood of relatives as medicine might be able to cure Shen Jiaojiao's stomach disease."

"Your Highness feels that things may not be that simple, so let the girl be on guard. If there is any trouble, let Fangfei notify me."

Shen Ruyi nodded, "I remember it."

Han Jiang said goodbye and left.

Shen Ruyi thought for a moment and said to Fangfei, "Go and ask around to see if there is anything unusual with the Prime Minister, the eldest son, and the people around Shen Jiaojiao these past two days."

Fang Fei was a little nervous when she heard this, "Girl, they don't want to hurt you, do they?"

"Go ask first."

Shen Ruyi had her own guess about this, but she was not 100% sure. However, with the hairpin on her head, Shen Cangyun had to think twice before he could touch her.

Fangfei took the order and left.

When she came back at night, she closed the door and whispered, "I heard from you that the Prime Minister went to Cuiyu's room last night, but after he came out, he stood outside Xifeng Courtyard for a long time before going back with the eldest master."

"After that, both of them were acting strangely. It was not until the next morning that word spread that the blood of relatives could cure stomach problems. Then, the eldest son entered the palace, and Mother Yuan found the second young lady."

Shen Ruyi seemed to be thinking about something after hearing this.

Mother Yuan is the person who serves Shen Cangyun.

In her previous life, she had hooked up with Shen Jiaojiao and framed her several times.

The wet nurse was locked in the cellar because Mother Yuan testified that it was the wet nurse who poured hot water on Shen Jiaojiao.

When Shen Ruyi thought of this, her pupils shrank slightly.

The wet nurse is dead, and she will take revenge.

"Did they say when the imperial physician will arrive?" Shen Ruyi asked, pondering this matter.

Fang Fei shook her head. "The eldest master hasn't come back yet, so he didn't say when. But Mother Yuan has been looking at the door, as if she's waiting for someone."

"After leaving your place, the Third Young Master went to look for Shen Jiaojiao, but he was still angry after he came out. He even ran to the rockery to take a look and is still standing on the rockery."

Fang Fei said, looking at Shen Ruyi, "Miss, do you think the Third Young Master has discovered something? On that day at the rockery, it was clearly Shen Jiaojiao who ran up and rolled down by herself. If the Third Young Master knew the truth, he would probably regret doing that to you, right?"

"Don't worry about him."

Shen Ruyi's answer consisted of only four words.

She doesn't care anymore.

At this moment, Shen Luo stood on the rockery, looking at the place where Shen Jiaojiao fell, and then at the place where Shen Ruyi stood. He felt a suffocating feeling in his heart. He was still holding the jade in his hand, "Are you sure this is where they were at that time?"

Cuiyu was beaten so badly that she was almost deformed. At this moment, she was crying and snotting. Facing Shen Luo's sinister eyes, she dared not cry. She could only tremble and said, "The eldest lady came here to hang herself that day. She was holding a rope in her hand. After she came up, she naturally stood under this crooked pine tree."

"When the second young lady came up, she was about to hang the rope up, and it was snowing, so the second young lady provoked the eldest young lady and she slipped, and the rope fell on the snow under the rockery."

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the bottom of the rockery and see that the rope is still there."

Cui Yu thought of the scene where Shen Jiaojiao stabbed her in the back and she felt a desire for revenge.

Ever since Shen Jiaojiao came, she has been helping Shen Jiaojiao bully Shen Ruyi. Now, since Shen Jiaojiao is unkind, don't blame her for being unjust.

There was a glimmer of viciousness in her eyes, and she pointed to the side of the stairs and said, "After the second young lady came up, she has been standing there. She provoked the eldest young lady, and when she turned around, she rolled down by herself."

"At that time, the young lady was about seven or eight steps away from her. How could she have been pushed?"

"She bribed me with money, so I helped her to give false testimony."

Cui Yu knelt down in front of Shen Luo and said, "Third Master, please forgive me. I was really ordered by the Second Miss to treat the First Miss like that. If I say anything else..."

Lowering her head, she whispered, "Besides, at that time, all of you only believed in the Second Miss and allowed the Second Miss to bully the First Miss. Even we, the maids in Xifeng Courtyard, were suppressed by others and couldn't live like this!"

"The wet nurse was wrongly killed. I took refuge with the Second Young Lady only to save my life."

Shen Luo was originally full of anger, but when he heard Cui Yu's words, the anger burned to his heart. He felt suffocated and had difficulty breathing for a moment, and he clenched his fists tightly.
