Bully
Jiang Yan was truly at her wit's end, and kept sighing inwardly.
Huang Ying felt sorry for her and wanted to comfort her, but seeing that Wang Qianqian was still by her side, she was afraid that she might say something wrong and cause Wang Qianqian to make a fuss, so she swallowed the words that were about to come out.
Wang Qianqian: "Sister, what are you sitting there for? Hurry up and use a hot towel to wipe Chen's body and cool her down!"
Jiang Yan then vaguely noticed a wooden basin on a low stool beside the bed, with a dry white cloth draped over its edge.
Wang Qianqian: "Originally, it was the younger sister who wanted to help, but now that the older sister has arrived, shouldn't she also make some amends for her mistake?"
Knowing he was in the wrong, Jiang Yan didn't say anything and obediently used a handkerchief to wipe Shen Qianqian's body.
Wang Qianqian stopped crying, and a faint smile appeared on her face, but her voice was still deep: "Sister, I'd like to remind you again, the doctor said you absolutely must not use cold water!"
"Okay," Jiang Yan said while busy wiping Shen Qianqian's face.
Wang Qianqian smiled smugly, then lowered her voice and said, "I have something to do in the courtyard, so I'll go take care of it first. I'll come back to relieve you in a bit." Without waiting for Jiang Yan's reply, she quickly walked out.
Huang Ying then said, "Master, let me do it. You rest."
But Jiang Yan did not agree, and said in a low voice, "This is the sin I created, and I will bear the consequences myself."
“Master, you don’t have to put all the blame on yourself.”
Jiang Yan smiled bitterly: "Of course, Shen Qianqian was bullying me, so it was only right for me to retaliate. But... who would have thought she was pregnant? If I had known, no matter how much she bullied me, I wouldn't have laid a finger on her."
"My lord, you have such a kind heart."
Jiang Yan: "It's not that I'm kind. Think about it, the child is still in the womb, what does it know? How pitiful, how innocent! Adults should handle their own affairs, not children's."
Huang Ying's admiration for her deepened, and her gaze softened even more.
Jiang Yan wiped Shen Qianqian's legs and even washed her feet before stopping to catch his breath.
However, not long after, Shen Qianqian suddenly sat up as if she had gone mad, shouting, "My child, where is my child?"
His face was deathly pale, even his lips had lost their color, and the whites of his eyes were red, as if he had lost his mind.
Jiang Yan was so frightened that she hugged Huang Ying tightly, watching helplessly as Shen Qianqian ran off the bed and started making a ruckus in the room.
"It's you! You must have hidden my child! Give me back my child!!" Shen Qianqian threw things around the room, then suddenly cast a strange look at Jiang Yan, before running towards him menacingly.
Jiang Yan and Huang Ying were so frightened that they froze on the spot. It wasn't until she ran up to them that Jiang Yan reacted and quickly pushed Huang Ying aside.
"You bitch! You damn bitch!! Give me back my child! Give me back my child!!" She went berserk and pushed Jiang Yan to the ground, straddled her, and started beating her.
Jiang Yan had never seen such a scene before and was completely terrified, unable to react at all.
Seeing this, Huang Ying rushed forward to pull Shen Qianqian away, but Shen Qianqian was surprisingly strong and pushed Huang Ying to the ground with her right hand.
"You slut! You bastard!! You slut!! I'll tear your face apart today, and see how you'll seduce the prince then!!" Shen Qianqian laughed like a madwoman, her eyes wide open, her mouth agape, her smile twisted as she slapped Jiang Yan's face again and again.
Ignoring her own pain, Huang Ying rushed forward to help again, but unexpectedly, Shen Qianqian slapped her, sending her sprawling to the ground, where she saw stars.
Jiang Yan was hurt and only then did she belatedly realize what had happened. She started to struggle with Shen Qianqian, but she was no match for Shen Qianqian. Shen Qianqian firmly controlled her with just her left hand.
"You, you're so strong! You did this on purpose!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qianqian smiled smugly and grabbed her neck with both hands, as if she wanted to strangle her to death.
Jiang Yan's eyes widened and her face turned red.
But no matter how hard she struggled, Shen Qianqian wouldn't let go or get off her. Instead, she increased the pressure on her, pressing her entire body weight onto her.
Seeing that this wasn't working, Huang Ying quickly got up and shouted at Shen Qianqian, "This servant will go find the steward and have Steward Cui come and see you!"
Suddenly, as if possessed, Shen Qianqian trembled violently and fainted.
Jiang Yan finally got a chance to cough desperately.
Huang Ying was stunned by the strange scene that Shen Qianqian had just witnessed. When she heard Shen Qianqian cough, she realized what was happening and rushed to her side, pulling Shen Qianqian away from her.
"Master, are you alright?" Huang Ying carefully helped Jiang Yan up.
"No, it's nothing, I'm fine." Jiang Yan was still very frightened. She shrank away from Shen Qianqian lying on the ground before anxiously asking, "She... she can't be... dead, can she?"
Huang Ying quickly checked Shen Qianqian's pulse: "No, she's still alive."
Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said with lingering fear, "What was wrong with her just now? Was she crazy? How could she have so much strength, stronger than a man?!"
Huang Ying frowned, looked thoughtfully at Shen Qianqian, then whispered in her left ear in a voice only the two of them could hear.
“My lady, I think Madam Shen is faking it.”
"What?" Jiang Yan was stunned into silence.
"Please keep your voice down, Your Highness," Huang Ying whispered in her ear. "I think that whether this matter is true or false, we should inform Steward Cui and ask him to make a decision."
Jiang Yan looked at her gratefully.
Huang Ying and Jiang Yan helped Shen Qianqian up on either side and put her on the bed before going to find Butler Cui.
Jiang Yan was completely baffled. He looked at her from all angles but couldn't see that Shen Qianqian was faking it, because her complexion really looked like that of someone who was sick.
But no matter what, she couldn't just leave her alone. What if she really got sick? What if she died?
She didn't want to be buried with this wicked person!
Jiang Yan pondered for a moment, then wiped Shen Qianqian's face again.
Fortunately, Shen Qianqian's body temperature dropped shortly after her outburst, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Jiang Yan was originally sitting by her bedside taking care of her, but seeing that she had fallen asleep, he thought he would lean against the soft couch and rest for a while. Unexpectedly, he fell into a deep sleep after resting.
"Master, Master, wake up, wake up!"
Yes, Huang Ying, but what about her...?
Realizing what Huang Ying had gone to do, Jiang Yan suddenly snapped out of it and sat up.
"Master, are you alright?"
"How is she?"
Wang Qianqian then said sarcastically, "Human hearts are truly unpredictable! You clearly agreed to take responsibility for your mistakes, yet you fell asleep. What kind of behavior is that?"
Huang Ying looked at her and said softly, "Butler Cui has already come, and the doctor has taken Madam Shen's pulse. She is fine."
"No serious injury?" Jiang Yan asked again cautiously, holding her breath, in disbelief.
Wu Lanyu then said, "Otherwise, what do you think will happen to Sister Shen? Will you kill her or cause her to miscarry?"
Wang Qianqian followed closely behind her, saying, "Well, all I can say is that quack doctors are misleading people! Butler Cui invited an imperial physician, who said that the mother and fetus are fine, but..."
"But what?" Jiang Yanqing couldn't help but ask.
"Just take good care of him and look after him," Wu Lanyu said, glancing at Jiang Yan.
What does this mean? Jiang Yan realized her brain wasn't working properly again and looked at Huang Ying in confusion.
Wang Qianqian then said, "Sister, there are plenty of servants in Haitang Garden, but they are clumsy and I'm afraid they won't be able to take good care of things. Besides, what I mean is, since you caused this mess, it's natural that you should take care of it. What do you say, sister?"
If you want her to take care of you, just say so! Why all this nonsense?
"Very well, I will certainly take good care of my sister. I'll go wash up and take a bath." Jiang Yan said, getting off the soft couch.
Unexpectedly, Wang Qianqian said with great regret, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, sister! You're the one who takes care of Chen-mei now. If you leave, who will take care of Chen-mei if she needs water or needs to be wiped down?"
Wu Lanyu laughed and said, "The prince won't be back for a while, and there are no other men in the mansion. Even if you dress up like a fairy, no one will even glance at you. Let's just forget about it!"
Wang Qianqian smiled and exchanged a glance with her, saying, "Sister, I heard from the maid that the green peony in the back garden is about to bloom. Let's go take a look together."
"Okay, let's go now."
Wang Qianqian and Shen Qianqian went out chatting and laughing under the watchful eyes of Jiang Yan and Huang Ying.
