Yinshuang had wanted to tell Shenwan for a long time, but she couldn't find an opportunity. Now she finally spilled the beans, "It was quite a coincidence. A few days ago, the Princess Consort asked Chen Yu to go find a Taoist priest. When Chen Yu went to find the Taoist priest, she happened to see the maidservant of the third young lady of the Wuding Marquis's mansion going to a traveling doctor to buy medicine. Because the third young lady had made things difficult for the fourth young lady at the jewelry shop, and the Princess Consort even helped the fourth young lady swindle her out of a jade hairpin, Chen Yu recognized that maidservant and kept an eye on her..."
"Today, the Fourth Miss was wronged. Chen Yu remembered this and reported it to the Prince. The Prince then called the Heir Apparent of the Duke of Wei out and told him about it. He then ordered the Heir Apparent of the Duke of Wei to drag the maid and wet nurse away and interrogate them separately. After a lot of intimidation, the maid and wet nurse confessed."
That day, after Chen Yu recognized the maid, she asked a Taoist priest. The priest said that the medicine the maid bought was not fatal, but would only make people unconscious for an hour. Chen Yu didn't care much about it and didn't report it to Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan. After all, it wasn't necessarily that the maid of the Third Miss Zheng bought the medicine for Shen Wei. The Princess Consort was too busy worrying about the Prince to care about so many other things.
The maid didn't lie about this. However, the maid didn't know that what the Taoist priest said about it not being fatal was for adults. The young master of the Duke of Wei's mansion was only two or three years old and couldn't withstand that dosage. Fortunately, Zhao Yuan was there today and provided timely treatment, otherwise it would have really been a matter of life and death.
Knowing that Princess An was not as mean as she had been in her previous life, Shen Wan regretted having the Taoist priest predict the fate of Prince An's heir. But now, Shen Wan no longer regretted it. If she hadn't sent Chen Yu to find the Taoist priest and happened to run into Zheng San's maid secretly buying medicine, she really didn't know how she would have gotten through this ordeal.
The fourth wife stood beside Shen Wan and heard every word Yin Shuang said. Her nose tingled with sadness.
Shen Wan and Prince Ling have helped their fourth branch of the family far too much.
What merit or right do the fourth branch of the family have to receive such protection from them?
