Chapter 128 Putting the Old Lady into a Coma

Shen Ruyi, who was hiding outside the door and listening to the conversation inside, rushed in immediately after hearing this. She pretended to be ignorant and hugged the master's legs, "Grandpa, why don't you read the storybook with me?"

As soon as Wang Taifu saw Shen Ruyi, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He quickly hugged Shen Ruyi into his arms and said, "Grandpa has something to do and has to leave for a while."

Shen Ruyi's heart tightened when she heard this, and she immediately blinked and started crying, "No, no, Ruyi likes Grandpa, Grandpa won't leave."

Looking at Shen Ruyi's lovely appearance, Master Wang felt like his heart was melting.

He couldn't help but think of his little granddaughter whom he hadn't seen for a long time. For a moment, his nose was sore. "It won't be long, and grandpa will come back to see you."

Shen Ruyi continued blinking her big eyes and sobbing, "No, I can't bear to leave. Grandpa won't leave. Grandpa will stay with Ruyi."

Wang Taifu was very upset by Shen Ruyi's crying. After hesitating for a long time, he looked at the emperor and said, "Forget it, I will live here."

"The Shen family treats me very well. Moreover, I have also adopted Bolin as my godson. I will live with him and he will take care of me. You can rest assured."

After hearing what Wang Taifu said, the emperor was stunned. Wang Taifu was a person who seldom got particularly close to others.

How did these people from the second branch of the Shen family make Master Wang like them so much?

"I'm worried. Only in the palace can I guarantee your safety." The emperor felt uncomfortable when he thought about the assassin.

So far, the whereabouts of those assassins have not been found. It seems that they appear and disappear out of thin air.

If those people were just bandits, they shouldn't have just robbed Master Wang. But since Master Wang got into trouble, there haven't been any more robberies.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it, so he could only continue to persuade the tutor.

Seeing that the Grand Tutor was determined to stay in Shen Bailin's mansion, the Emperor was helpless and could only coldly order the imperial guards to form a circle outside the mansion to ensure the Grand Tutor's safety.

The emperor gave several large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry as gifts before leaving.

Looking at the boxes given by the emperor, Shen Ruyi pretended to be curious, "Grandpa, what are these?"

The master held her and looked at her with a smile, "These are all fun things that can be exchanged for candy."

Shen Ruyi rolled her eyes secretly.

She doesn't want the candy at all; what she wants is definitely the treasures and valuable items inside.

She pretended to be innocent and cute, and kept picking at the opening of the box with her hands, "What's inside? It seems like it can be opened."

The Master looked at her cute appearance, smiled and opened the box for Shen Ruyi to see.

Looking at the various gold and silver jewels, Shen Ruyi blinked her eyes and only stared at the most eye-catching egg-sized Dongzhu and smiled, "Ball, beautiful ball, shining, Ruyi likes it."

Seeing Shen Ruyi looking at it and stretching out her hand as if she wanted to grab the pearl, the Master immediately took out the pearl and put it in Shen Ruyi's hand, "Take it and play with it if you like."

Shen Ruyi weighed the Dongzhu, and the smile on her face became more genuine.

This pearl is very valuable. When she asks someone to exchange it for money, it will be worth at least five thousand taels of gold.

This silly old man is really silly and generous.

Ever since the emperor came to the residence of the second branch of the Shen family, Shen Bailin became the old tutor's adopted son, and the news that the old tutor lived in the second branch of the Shen family spread throughout the capital.

Originally, ever since those terrible things happened, the second branch of the Shen family had been deserted. But now with the presence of the Grand Tutor, people come every day to visit with all kinds of gifts, and the threshold of the second branch is about to be trampled down.

"Ruyi, you are really smart." Shen Bailin was very happy as he counted the gifts that people gave him when they visited him.

"This is what our family deserves." Shen Ruyi's tone was so calm that she didn't sound like a little kid.

"Has the invitation been given to the first wife?" Shen Ruyi calculated the time and asked in a low voice.

"I just sent it today. Not only to the main branch of the Shen family, but also to all the prominent families in the capital. There is no way Shen Zongguang will not come when the time comes." Shen Bailin had a smile on his face.

"Well, grandma's illness has become more serious." Shen Ruyi said calmly.

If it really doesn't work, it doesn't matter if Old Mrs. Shen dies.

Anyway, in the novel, Mrs. Shen is just an insignificant supporting paper character.

If I can pave the way for her to live a life as a real heroine in the future, then even if I die, it will be considered a contribution.

After Shen Bailin left, Shen Ruyi immediately called her mother and asked Qin Hanyan to come into the house.

Qin Hanyan was having fun trying out the new fabric, and was planning to show off at Old Madam Shen's birthday party to open the eyes of those wives of officials who had looked down on her in the past.

"My precious lady, what's wrong?" Qin Yunshuang came into the room with a piece of brocade in her hand. "Lady, this is the new brocade. I plan to ask them to make a skirt for you with it."

Shen Ruyi nodded.

She didn't care what she wore. Anyway, she had no status now, and no matter what she wore, it would not be as exquisite as Shen Tang's palace dress.

But it doesn’t matter. One day, everything she wears and uses will be better than Shen Tang’s.

She is the heroine of this novel. Whatever she wants, she will definitely get it.

"Mother, please give grandma more medicine." Shen Ruyi spoke each word carefully, trying to make her words clear.

Sometimes she would get angry at herself for being so young, which caused her to be unable to do or explain many things.

"Ah, more?" Qin Hanyan thought of how sickly Old Lady Shen had been recently, and felt a little guilty for a moment, "If I give her more medicine, will she be unable to hold on?"

"What does it matter?" Shen Ruyi frowned, her eyes cold, completely lacking the innocence that a child should have.

"You hate her, and so do I."

She would always remember the scenes where Old Lady Shen severely beat Qin Hanyan in front of her.

She was still a baby at the time and could only watch Qin Hanyan being humiliated and punished but could not stop it.

"My daughter still loves me." Qin Hanyan looked at Shen Ruyi, her eyes softened, "Mother will listen to you. I will go give her some more medicine later."

"By the way, should we let Master Xu prepare?" Qin Hanyan asked slowly.

"Yeah." Shen Ruyi nodded. It was only five days before Old Madam Shen's birthday.

By then, she can help her brother regain his intelligence and wisdom, and put Shen Yuanbai, the eldest son of the Shen family, under his feet again.

That night, Qin Hanyan tripled the dose of medicine for Old Lady Shen. As soon as Old Lady Shen took it, she started to complain of stomachache and then fainted.

Thinking of Shen Ruyi's reminder that whether Old Madam Shen was dead or alive would not affect the life of the second wife, and even if Old Madam Shen's death would make her life easier, Qin Hanyan did not even call a doctor and let Old Madam Shen faint.
