As soon as Mrs. Li and her son left, Mrs. Shen asked in a low voice.
Shen Li thought about the identities of the Li mother and son as servants, and shook his head; "My grandson was indeed a little suspicious at first, but after knowing that he was the son of Li, the mother-in-law next to you, I dispelled my suspicions." He was probably too suspicious.
These words made Old Madam Shen breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, Mrs. Li is someone close to her. If there really is a problem, it would be creepy. However, seeing that her grandson trusts her so much, the old lady still feels very comfortable.
"Grandmother has been arranging her own people to take the position these days. Li Afu was probably just appointed and his temper has not been subdued yet, so he made the mistake of talking too much. If you don't like it, grandma will have someone replace him later." Old Lady Shen explained in a gentle voice.
"Appoint your own people to take the position?" Shen Li heard something unusual.
Old Madam Shen wanted to explain, but then she realized that this was a matter of the harem and there was no need to tell her grandson about it, so she just brushed it off and said, "It's just some trivial matters at home, nothing serious. Grandma came here this time mainly because I want to talk to you about something and ask for your opinion."
Shen Li thought about what Ah Fu had just said: "Grandma, do you want to talk about what happened at home in the past two days?"
"Yes, this matter..." Just as Mrs. Shen was about to speak, she saw Wei Yaer, who was wearing a thick red jacket and skirt, coming in from the side hall carrying bottles and jars.
The old lady frowned.
I immediately felt unhappy. With all the bad things happening at home, she still had the mood to dress so brightly. What a tactless and vulgar country woman!
Of course, even if the old lady was unhappy in her heart, she would not scold her like before. After all, Wei Yaer had two identities, so she had to endure it even if she was unhappy.
"Ya'er greets the old lady!" After Wei Ya'er came in, she smiled and knelt down to salute the old lady.
However, within just a few days, Wei Yaer's words and deeds had already acquired a touch of the charm of a noble lady. Unfortunately, in the eyes of the old lady, she still felt that she was vulgar and imitated others everywhere.
"I have something to say to you, so please go out first and I'll come back later..."
But before the old lady finished speaking, Wei Yaer interrupted her: “Old lady, this may not work. The time for Brother Shen to treat his legs needs to be strictly followed, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced.”
Old Madam Shen frowned deeply.
She was becoming more and more displeased. This lowly slave was so rude as to interrupt her in such an unruly manner. It was really useless to teach him manners. He was so rude and rude in his bones.
However, my grandson's legs are indeed important.
He suppressed his annoyance and said, "Then hurry up!"
"Madam, I'm afraid this won't be quick. After applying the medicine, we need to use hot air to fumigate the acupuncture. It will take at least one or two hours." Wei Yaer said in a muffled voice.
Old Madam Shen felt as if her chest was blocked and her eyes turned colder when she looked at Wei Yaer. However, Wei Yaer seemed not to notice and stood aside with the bottles and jars in her hand, looking humble and submissive.
Madam Shen took a deep breath and finally compromised: "Okay, then you treat me on the side and keep your mouth shut. You have to know what you should and shouldn't listen to."
"yes."
Wei Yaer skillfully helped Shen Li lie down, then lifted the blanket from his lower body, which was only covered with his underpants...
When Old Madam Shen saw this, her eyes almost popped out of her head in anger.
"you--"
Is this lowly slave, who has no sense of propriety or shame, blind? Doesn't he see that the old lady is still sitting beside him?
Old Madam Shen, whose face was black with anger, stood up suddenly, personally lowered the curtain on one side of the bed, and sat outside the curtain. Then she said with a hint of anger: "Li'er, grandma will assign a few more capable servants to you later."
Something flashed in Wei Yaer's eyes.
But she knew what was going on and said nothing more, and began to treat Shen Li's injured leg. Of course, her ears were perked up.
"Grandma, you can arrange it." Shen Li was actually a little dissatisfied with Wei Yaer's behavior, but he concealed it well.
Mrs. Shen recovered her breath and began to talk about business: "You have heard about what is happening outside. It is very unfavorable to our Shen family now, but what grandma wants to talk about is Yang Zhao's matter..."
The old lady also went straight to the point and talked about Yang Zhao's situation.
"Grandmother thinks that Yang Zhao must not return to the Marquis' Mansion, but according to the doctor, if Yang Zhao can't relieve his pent-up anger, he might not survive."
After hearing this, Shen Li couldn't help but be slightly surprised, "Is Ah Zhao really so ill?"
The word "A Zhao" made Wei Yaer pause while applying the medicine.
Old Madam Shen spoke from behind the curtains, "I saw it when I rushed over that day. Indeed... she was nearly strangled to death, and several of the maids in the courtyard were injured. I didn't dare go into Qin Garden today after Grandmother arrived, fearing she'd see me and start crying. It would be difficult for me to make a decision on the spot, so I wanted to come and ask you, what do you think should be done about this?"
Fearing her grandson might feel pity for her, the old lady quickly added, "Grandmother is actually worried. If we let her go back to the Marquis' Mansion, even if her stepmother no longer likes her, she will probably come to our Shen family to question us for the sake of the Marquis's reputation. Furthermore, the outside world is already talking very badly about the Shen family. Grandmother is afraid that if we handle it improperly, it will affect our Shen family's century-old reputation."
But the old lady was obviously overthinking it.
Shen Li did have compassion in his heart, but compared to the selfish family honor, nothing else mattered. He was placed with high hopes by that person because of the Shen family's reputation in the hearts of students all over the world.
How could he allow the Shen family's reputation to be in jeopardy?
"Grandma, your decision is right. We really can't let A Zhao go back. This matter is actually not difficult to handle. You only need to do three things and the problem will be solved. The reputation of our Shen family will not be damaged in the slightest." Shen Li pondered for a moment, a glimmer of success in his eyes.
When Mrs. Shen heard this, she straightened her back and said, "Li'er, tell me what you mean."
"The first thing to do is to open the ancestral hall and have all the elders of the clan who went to Qinyuan Courtyard that day go to the gate of the Shen Family Ancestral Hall to confess their sins to the ancestors."
Old Madam Shen opened her eyes wide in surprise. "Apologize to the ancestors?"
"Grandmother, the world is now catching on to the clan's fault of being unkind to Ah Zhao. Let the elders go and apologize to the ancestors. This will show the Shen family's attitude towards things and let the world see that the Shen family is not so heartless. It's just that the women in the harem are too focused on the 'virtue of women' as the saints said."
The word "woman's virtue" was emphasized deliberately.
Old Madam Shen understood, but asking those old guys to apologize to their ancestors was probably...
But thinking about the current situation, Madam Shen gritted her teeth and said, "Grandma, I understand. What about the other two things?"
"The second thing may require Grandma to suffer some injustice..."
