"Zhao'er!"
Wei sat down beside the bed, grabbed Yang Zhao's hand, and said softly, "Zhao'er, mother has already made it clear to your old lady. From now on, the Shen family will definitely not let you suffer any injustices again."
As she spoke, she picked up the handkerchief again and pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes, "Mother has just heard from the old lady of your parents-in-law. Mother really didn't know that you fell into the water a few days ago and you will not be able to have children in the future." Hearing this made her extremely happy.
"You kid, why don't you tell your family about this? You take on everything on your own. Aren't you going to make your mother sad to death?"
"You said it? Can mother take me home?"
Yang Zhao suddenly asked in a weak voice.
Wei's expression froze...
But she quickly changed the subject, using the handkerchief as a cover: "Zhao'er, take good care of yourself first. Mother will come to see you in a few days. Don't think too much, just have a good rest."
After saying that, Wei stood up, exchanged a few polite words to Old Madam Shen, and then left with her maids and servants, personally escorted by Nanny Liu.
Only then did Old Lady Shen come to the bedside and comfort her, saying, "A Zhao, Grandma knows you've been wronged, but it's no wonder a woman like this doesn't feel wronged..."
Before the old lady could say another word about how the woman was wronged, Yang Zhao interrupted her: "Old lady, last time you talked to your aunt about Jixuan brother's son, I agreed."
What?
Madam Shen was startled for a moment, then a flash of surprise appeared in her eyes: "You agree? You really agree?"
"Um!"
"Good! Good boy!"
"However, I'm afraid that my grandson's wife won't be able to take charge of the adoption. Please ask the old lady to consult with my husband and then make the arrangements."
"Okay, grandma will take care of the arrangements. Ah Zhao, take good care of yourself. Don't worry about anything. Leave it to grandma. By the way, grandma will definitely invite the best doctor to see you later. You will be fine..."
Old Madam Shen left with brisk steps.
Dong Shuang frowned and couldn't help muttering: "Madam, when the old lady heard that you agreed to adopt Xuan'er, she didn't hide her joy at all. She was so happy that her mouth was almost grinning to the back of her head." In fact, it was not that exaggerated.
Yang Zhao looked at her with amusement: "Are you angry already?"
"I just can't stand it and I feel sorry for you. Why didn't I realize before that this old lady has such a face?" It's really annoying.
In fact, there are probably quite a few people in the Shen family who have this kind of attitude.
Yang Zhao smiled faintly: "Before touching the other party's interests, everyone will put on a good front. We are not immortals, how can we see into the inner heart of others?"
Besides, everything was harmonious in the Shen family before, and she had never touched the depths of his heart. How could she have aroused his true face and thoughts?
It looks like this now.
It was just that she forced it step by step.
Next, there’s something even more interesting!
After leaving Qin Garden, Mrs. Shen immediately went to Linzhu Courtyard.
But before she could share the good news, she heard what had happened in front of the ancestral hall. Her face suddenly changed. "How could such a mistake happen? That Manager Chen was someone your grandfather used to work for. He shouldn't have made such a mistake."
Shen Li's expression was also somewhat gloomy: "Grandson has asked someone to investigate, and there should be results soon."
Not long.
Manager Chen came hurriedly and said, "Master, Madam, we have checked everything. It's Li Hu who has the problem."
"Li Hu?"
Old Madam Shen frowned slightly, the name sounded familiar.
Steward Chen lowered his head and replied, "Madam, Li Hu is Madam Liu's grandson, the one you said a few days ago that you would promote to be the steward in Master's courtyard."
It's him!
"Isn't he seriously injured? What did he do?" The old lady thought of Li Hu lying on the stretcher that day.
Manager Chen hesitated, but thinking that someone had to take responsibility for today's mistake, otherwise his job as manager would be over, he stopped hiding it. "Old Madam, Li Hu wasn't seriously injured. He knew that today's incident was arranged by the master, so he said he wanted to share the master's worries, so he asked the guy who was looking for him to come..."
Shen Li frowned.
How do others know that he arranged it?
Old Madam Shen's face darkened: "Go get someone to bring him here!"
Half a quarter of an hour later.
When she saw Li Hu standing in front of her, her face turned extremely ugly. She slammed the table in anger and said, "How dare you, Li Hu, pretend to be injured and deceive me? Who gave you the courage?"
Li Hu was sweating profusely. He knelt down on his knees and hurriedly explained: "Old Madam, I didn't lie. I was indeed knocked unconscious that day, but, but..."
But when he woke up, he was already in the Xiaoyao Cave, and then he was dazzled by the beauty around him. By the time he remembered what he wanted to do, several days had passed, so he had to think of a way to get away with it.
The old lady obviously no longer believed him and had him taken away.
"Li'er, how should we deal with this? You asked me to go to the palace gate to invite the imperial physician, but I failed. Someone came from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, and I just sent him away..." Old Madam Shen asked worriedly, and she regarded Shen Li as the backbone.
Shen Li closed his eyes deeply, hiding the restlessness in his eyes.
He used to think that his grandmother was the wisest woman in the family and the most capable in handling matters.
But today he discovered that women are just women!!
Even if this person is his grandmother!!
After a while.
He opened his eyes again, and his eyes regained their wisdom and sharpness: "Grandmother, I'm afraid the Shen family's reputation will be damaged this time. It can't be protected, but..."
"But what?"
Hearing that the Shen family's reputation was about to be ruined, the old lady was extremely anxious: "Li'er, do you have any ideas for solving this problem? Tell me, and I will definitely take care of it this time."
"This matter, after all, was caused by the women in the harem. Ultimately, it's a family matter. Grandmother, if you truly want to protect our Shen family's century-old reputation of being upright and honest, this matter may require... you to take responsibility."
"I?"
Old Madam Shen was stunned.
The next day.
The public opinion in Beijing regarding the Shen family has changed.
"Madam, it was the old lady who took the blame for bribing people outside the ancestral hall. Now everyone outside has turned the blame on the old lady. Do we still need someone to guide the public opinion this time?"
“No need!”
Yang Zhao had just finished applying the medicine, and the warm and comfortable feeling on her waist made her a little drowsy. She lay on the bed, closed her eyes and said, "This is the only effect we can achieve. There's no need to waste manpower."
The Shen family's current reputational stain would at most displease Emperor Wenyuan, but it would not shake his decision to re-employ the Shen family.
So she decided to ask the Shen family to give him a surprise.
However, this matter cannot be rushed.
Yang Zhao slowly opened his eyes, as if thinking of something, and raised the corners of his lips: "Dong Shuang, let someone go and bring Xuan Ge'er over..."
