"Why did the City Defense Department come to the Shen family?"
"Could it be that the Shen family is in trouble again?"
"Didn't the male of the Shen family just return a few days ago? Could it be that His Majesty wants to exile the male of the Shen family again..."
Many people gathered at the gate of the Shen family.
When Old Lady Shen hurried to the gate with the help of Nanny Liu, she saw the neat and orderly rows of city guard soldiers outside the gate, wearing black armor and with devilish faces, and the people pointing and talking.
The old lady's legs almost gave way.
This scene reminded her of six years ago.
Finally, with the help of Aunt Liu, she stepped out of the door. "What, what's going on?"
Where is Yang Zhao?
Shouldn't she be taking care of things for Li'er and the others? Why did she call back the City Defense Division?
Could it be that she had done something she shouldn't have done, angering Sheng En and causing trouble for the Shen family?
The old lady's heart sank.
And at this time.
A familiar figure stepped out of the luxurious carriage flanked by the City Guard. "Dong Shuang?"
"Where is your master?"
Old Madam Shen frowned and asked as she looked at Dong Shuang, whose eyes were red and hurried towards her.
Dong Shuang quickly bowed behind Madam Shen and whispered in a trembling voice, "I apologize to the old lady. She is injured. Please, old lady, can you send a few maids to pull up the curtains and carry her back to the mansion."
"What? She's injured? What was she doing? How did she get injured? Also, what's going on with this City Defense Division..." The old lady asked repeatedly with a frown.
Dong Shuang was angry and annoyed.
Why is the old lady still asking these questions at this time? !
In the end, Dong Shuang was so anxious that she didn't care whether the old lady agreed or not. She gritted her teeth and walked past the old lady and entered the gate.
"This girl, how could she be so ignorant of the rules!"
After a while.
Several maids hurriedly took several long curtains and pulled them from both sides of the carriage, extending all the way to the inside of the gate, blocking the view of the onlookers and also blocking the city defense department.
Dong Shuang then returned to the carriage and carefully helped Yang Zhao down from the carriage.
"This is--"
Seeing Yang Zhao's condition, Madam Shen's expression suddenly changed.
His clothes were tattered and his hair was disheveled.
If someone saw them like this, the Shen family's reputation would be ruined!
"Hurry, help the lady back, walk faster!" The old lady had a sullen face and was busy directing the maid beside her to go up and help. The angry expression on her face made anyone able to see her dissatisfaction with Yang Zhao.
Mrs. Wei, who was in the carriage, happened to see all of this.
Her face looked a little gloomy...
…
Qinyuan.
The female doctor was hurriedly called in and entered the inner room.
Old Madam Shen, with a stern face, sat in the main seat in the hall. She looked at Dong Shuang, who was kneeling on the ground, with cold eyes and asked angrily, "Dong Shuang, what's going on? You and your servant went out safely, why did you let your master come back with such injuries?"
Dong Shuang's tears fell, her face full of an expression that made her want to commit suicide. She cried, "It was bandits. After we left Pufo Temple, we encountered bandits on the way..."
"Bandits?"
Old Madam Shen was so frightened that she suddenly stood up from her seat, her face looking extremely ugly. It was easy to guess what would happen to a woman who was kidnapped by bandits.
How could Yang Zhao have the nerve to come back?
Moreover, he actually came in through the main gate?!
How dare she—
Dong Shuang saw that Old Madam Shen had misunderstood, and immediately hurriedly explained: "Old Madam, you misunderstood. Madam Shen never fell into the hands of the bandits. Before the bandits came down the mountain, our Madam Shen sent out a distress signal and took Madam Wei from Minister Wei's family to escape. However, in order to avoid falling into the hands of the bandits, Madam Shen and Madam Wei jumped off the cliff together, which is why she was so seriously injured..."
Dong Shuang said this quickly and loudly.
Everyone inside and outside the house could hear it clearly.
An hour later.
The female doctor was secretly taken to Muzhaiyuan by Madam Liu.
"Miss Li, how is it?"
Doctor Li is the daughter of Doctor Li and is one of the few female doctors in Beijing.
"Mrs. Shen is indeed seriously injured. She has bruises and scratches all over her body, especially her waist. She must have hit a rock and injured her bones. She needs to recuperate for a few months."
"Besides these, is there anything else?" Old Madam Shen looked at the female doctor Li, her eyes almost asking directly whether Yang Zhao had lost his virginity!
Doctor Li was stunned when she heard this, but then she remembered what the maid outside the room had said. She immediately understood and whispered, "Don't worry, Madam. Apart from the injuries, she is fine."
After hearing this, Mrs. Shen obviously breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad you're okay!"
"Madame Liu, please send Miss Li back home. Give her more money for the consultation. Miss Li has worked hard today."
Nanny Liu personally took Doctor Li out.
When he reached the gate of the courtyard, he pulled out a bulging silver bag from his sleeve and handed it to the female doctor Li, saying, "I'll have to trouble Miss Li to explain something for my wife later."
After sending away Female Doctor Li, Nanny Liu returned to the house.
"Madam, Miss Li has agreed. She said that if the matter gets out of hand, she will come out to prove your innocence."
Old Madam Shen looked at Aunt Liu who came in and said to her with a gloomy face: "This Yang Zhao really gave her too much face!"
"Even if she wasn't harmed by the bandits, something like that still wasn't a glorious thing. But she didn't even bother trying to hide her shame. She even made such a fuss that she even alerted the City Defense Department. Furthermore, she even dared to enter through the main gate..."
When she thought about the situation at that time, and what would have happened if the curtain had accidentally fallen and been seen by someone, Mrs. Shen broke out in a cold sweat.
His back teeth clenched even harder: "That bitch, I think she did it on purpose, just wanting to use our Shen family's reputation as a scapegoat to clear her own name."
Madam Liu thought of her own grandson and did not try to comfort the old lady. Instead, she added fuel to the fire, "Madam did not act appropriately enough this time. I suspect that Madam is still angry."
"What's the anger?"
"It's about the incident that caused her to fall into the water and become infertile."
"Oh!"
Old Madam Shen snorted coldly, her eyes becoming even colder. "Originally, I had planned to have her properly treated once she secured Li'er's official position, so that she could give Li'er a legitimate son. But now, she can forget about it anymore."
"Madame Liu, please go and get the prescription back later..."
The old lady then thought of something else. "Oh right, she's injured now, so why don't you go to Qin Garden and tell her to recover first? And ask her to bring the key to the warehouse and the matching card..."
