Chapter 61: Evil Will Be Repaid with Evil
Without even turning her head, Xie Changning glanced at the guards beside her and shouted, "From now on, no one is allowed to approach the Marquis' Mansion, especially these two. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Madam!" The guard beside him immediately responded in a deep voice.
What are the outsiders?
He has been the prince of a marquisate for more than 20 years, so how could he be considered an outsider?
Just now, his mother had slapped him hard in the face in front of everyone. Shen Zhixu's distorted face was covered with a layer of gloom. He clenched his fists and stared at Xie Changning's back.
"I just wanted to tell Madam Hou that my injuries have healed and I will soon be joining the Ministry of Revenue. Please wait and see, Madam Hou, I will definitely be promoted step by step, and then..."
"Don't you hear the vicious dog barking outside? Close the door quickly." Before he could finish his words, Xie Changning gave an order and the door of the marquis's mansion slammed shut.
Vicious dog???
Good, good, good!
This is how his mother sees him.
Shen Zhixu's face was ferocious, he turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves.
He was furious. It was good to have Xizhi and Qian'er accompany him, but how could the life outside be compared with the luxurious life in the Marquis' Mansion?
Not to mention that he has been accustomed to this kind of life since he was a child.
Since he moved out, there has not been a single day that he has not missed the Marquis' Mansion, but he cannot bring himself to do so.
So as soon as he received the news from his grandmother, he hurried back with Xizhi.
How could he not know that he had severed ties with his mother long ago? He called her that on purpose, thinking that as long as he called her mother, she would soften her heart.
After all, how can there be any overnight hatred between mother and son?
I didn't expect his mother to treat him like this.
Did he do anything wrong?
He asked his mother to kowtow on behalf of his grandmother, but he just wanted her to gain a good reputation!
He did this for his mother's own good!
Bai Xizhi's heart instantly sank to the bottom. After these days, she finally saw clearly that the Marquis' wife was determined not to have a son like Shen Zhixu.
What should she do?
The moment the door of the Marquis' Mansion closed, a sneer appeared on Xie Changning's lips.
Still rising step by step?
This ungrateful person is really dreaming.
If his career goes smoothly, it will be her fault.
Qin asked someone to carry Chen Lanyue back to Cuiyunxuan, which was the courtyard where she lived before she got married. Qin had always asked someone to keep it for her.
When Xie Changning came in, Doctor Zhao was treating Shen Lanyue.
Qin stood by, her eyes red from crying, and she had no time to pretend to be sick.
Shen Zhizhou and Shen Jingshu stayed with her.
When Xie Changning came in, no one spoke.
"Doctor Zhao, can the wound on Lan Yue's face be cured?" Qin couldn't wait to ask after Doctor Zhao had just taken a look.
Doctor Zhao paused for a moment and said, "It can definitely be cured, but it's impossible to restore it to its original state."
Qin clutched the handkerchief and burst into tears. "Doctor Zhao, I beg you. Lan Yue cares most about her face. I don't care how much money it costs, as long as you can heal Lan Yue's face."
Xie Changning had a gloomy look in her eyes. Qin was so arrogant, talking as if she had a lot of money. The person who said that her pockets were cleaner than her face was Qin.
She said nothing, just nodded.
Doctor Zhao couldn't help but roll his eyes. The rumor had already spread outside, saying that this young lady from the Marquis' Mansion had any shame. If she really had any shame, could she do such a shameless thing?
He just said he would try his best, left a prescription and left.
Qin hurriedly asked someone to get medicine.
This really stumped Housekeeper Zhao. It was really like a good cook without rice, but she couldn't cook. "Old Madam, we don't have that much money in our account!"
When Qin heard this, she turned her head and looked at Mother Yu, "Where's the silver that Lan Yue took from me yesterday? It can't be left in the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, right?"
Mother Yu is Shen Lanyue’s confidant, so she avoided his gaze.
Xie Changning had been waiting for this opportunity. She sternly scolded him, "Could it be that you embezzled the money? That's why you're hesitating."
Qin's eyes darkened. "Tell me, or I'll have you dragged out and beaten to death right away."
Madam Yu gritted her teeth and said, "Yesterday, Madam was robbed on the way back to the Yongning Marquis's Mansion with the silver. That's why Madam approached the Xuanwu Marquis, hoping he would give the silver to the young master, and that's how she got caught red-handed."
"What?" Qin fell to the ground with a thud when she heard it. Her eyes rolled up, white foam came out of her mouth, and she kept twitching.
That was her coffin money, and it was snatched away just like that.
Isn't this going to cost her her life?
"Old lady, grandmother..." Everyone was frightened.
Xie Changning could tell at a glance that Qin had suffered a stroke. She had suffered blows one after another and was now filled with anger. It would be strange if Qin was okay!
She gave Mother Du a look and said, "Go and get Doctor Zhao back."
"Yes, I'll go right away." Mother Du understood what he meant. She also saw the old lady's symptoms. The sooner this disease was treated, the better the recovery would be.
Just wait!
She couldn't get any faster.
Xie Changning immediately asked someone to carry Qin back to Songbaiyuan. What was the correct approach?
Never move the patient at will to avoid aggravating the condition.
She naturally didn't have these concerns.
When Qin fell, Shen Zhizhou and Shen Jingshu instantly lost their backbone. The two of them kept urging, "Why hasn't Doctor Zhao come yet?"
Shen Zhiyan came over after hearing the news. In just half a day, he seemed to have become a different person. There was a more feminine smell about him, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark.
Ready to pounce at any time.
"Everyone, sit down. It's especially important to stay calm at this time." Xie Changning glanced at them indifferently.
Shen Zhiyan already knew about his aunt's affairs, and for some reason he always felt that this matter was related to his mother.
Ever since his eldest brother went to jail, the Marquis's Mansion has been plagued by twists and turns. First it was his fourth sister, and then it was him. He always felt that there was a pair of forces behind the scenes.
Not someone else.
It’s mother!
What puzzled him was what good would it do to his mother if he destroyed them?
It took a full hour for Mother Du to bring Doctor Zhao over.
Doctor Zhao only took one look at Qin and immediately gave her acupuncture.
On the other side, Shen Zhixu couldn't help but hear some rumors on his way back. He then learned that his fourth sister had become Song Wenjing's concubine. What was even more ridiculous was that his second brother had forcibly kidnapped a butcher in order to marry a brothel girl, and the incident became known to everyone!
He couldn't bear the blow, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
After acupuncture and drug administration, Qin finally opened her eyes at nightfall.
"Grandma, you finally woke up. You almost scared us all to death." Shen Jingshu cried and hugged Qin.
Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhou couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.
If grandma falls, who will protect them in the future?
Qin looked at them with satisfaction. She opened her mouth to speak, only to find that her tongue was very hard and would not obey her at all.
She was filled with fear and tried to move her body, but suddenly realized that even her body would not obey her.
Who will tell her what's wrong with her?
"..." She screamed in desperation, and could only make a humming sound from her mouth. She couldn't say a word, not even a single word.
"Mother, what's wrong with grandmother?" The three people noticed Qin's abnormality and looked at Xie Changning at the same time.
Xie Changning's face was filled with sorrow. "Imperial Physician Zhao said your grandmother had a stroke and might have some sequelae. He couldn't say to what extent she could recover. We can only take good care of her and see how things progress."
Doctor Zhao said these words to her alone.
Now she told Qin everything exactly as it was.
Qin had also suffered a stroke in her previous life, but at that time, only half of her body was unable to move, which did not prevent her from cursing or hitting people with a teacup.
In order to set an example for her children, she did everything herself, took care of Qin day and night, and lived and ate with her.
Because of her bad mood, Qin often lost her temper at her for no reason.
Not in this life!
This is what Qin did. Evil will be punished!
When Qin heard this, she whimpered twice, foamed at the mouth, and fainted again.
A dark light flashed in Xie Changning's eyes. Killing Qin would be too easy for her. There were some things she had not yet investigated clearly. She wanted to make Qin live a life worse than death and watch these grandchildren she loved so much walk into the abyss of no return one by one.
"Grandma, Grandma..." After hearing what Xie Changning said, Shen Zhiyan and the others felt like the sky had fallen.
What followed was another round of trouble.
However, Xie Changning always adheres to two points.
1. No money!
2. Don’t put in any effort!
She just needs to be a spectator.
When she returned to Qixiayuan, it was already late at night and everyone was asleep.
She had just sat down and hadn't even had time to drink a sip of tea when Xie Lin showed up. Needless to say, he must have found out something.
"Tell me! What did you find out?"
