Shen Qiu took Xiao Hang back to the Shen family and went directly to Shen Rouyun's place.
As soon as she entered the room, a lady rushed towards her, cursing her, "You bitch, what did you do to your sister? She's been running a fever all night, and now there's no sign of it going away."
Chen Qiu dodged the man by turning sideways, and after standing up, he said, "What are you talking about, Second Aunt? Second Sister was fine when she left me, and she was fine when she came back. Why are you saying it was me?"
That person was Chen Qiu's second aunt, surnamed Fang. She was a stubborn and unreasonable person. She looked at Chen Qiu with resentment and said, "She has only been to your house these past few days, and she fell ill at night after returning. Who else could it be but you?"
No one told her what good things her daughter had done, otherwise she would be able to make the dead appear alive. Knowing what her daughter had done, she would definitely try her best to send her daughter to the Duke's Mansion.
Shen Qiu smiled and said, "Second Aunt, she is not so important that I need to harm her with my own hands. If I wanted to harm her, I would not have sent her back yesterday."
Then he said to Xiao Hang, "Doctor Xiao, please help me take a look."
Xiao Hang shrugged and said, "Okay, if you're willing to save him, I'll help."
As he spoke, he walked to the bed, picked up the wrist that was sticking out from the bed curtain, and after a while he said, "The fever has subsided. I didn't use the right medicine before. With such a high temperature for such a long time, even if the fever subsided, I guess your mind would still be unclear."
Fang immediately stepped forward and shouted, "What do you mean?"
Xiao Hang looked at the bed curtain and said, "Even if the fever subsides, she will become a fool."
Fang took two steps back in disbelief, gritting her teeth and saying, "I don't believe you. None of you in the first house are good people. I don't believe you."
Old Madam Shen sighed and said to the Marquis of Yong'an, "They are all your descendants. You can make your own decision. As their legitimate grandmother, I have no say in their eyes, but they still listen to you, their grandfather."
Xiao Hang said, "If it can be cured, I'll write a prescription right now and give you acupuncture. If it can't be cured, I'll leave first. I have a lot of things to do in my medicine garden."
After hearing what Xiao Hang said, Madam Shen said to Shen Qiu, "Qiu'er, let's go. Let their family discuss what to do. We won't get involved."
Chen Qiu nodded to Xiao Hang and followed Old Madam Shen away. Marquis Yong'an felt indescribably bitter as he watched his wife leave.
If I hadn't lost control back then, I wouldn't be facing these unreasonable people now. People say birds of a feather flock together. What kind of people are these people from the second house?
Everyone in the second house is like that woman, crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to hang themselves. They are unreasonable and unruly.
Yong'an Hou sighed deeply, closed his eyes and said: "Treat her, she's stupid, there is room for her in Yong'an Hou Mansion."
After Shen Qiu and Old Madam Shen came out, neither of them spoke. They walked to the garden together. Old Madam Shen finally spoke: "Qiu'er, I'm sorry for you. In order to protect the Shen family, I let you marry into the Duke's Mansion. Now these people are trying to harm you. It's all because of grandma's weakness."
Chen Qiu shook her head and said, "I am very happy to marry my husband, and he treats me very well. Grandmother, there is no need to blame yourself for this."
Then he looked at Madam Shen and said, “I just can’t understand, you…” Shen Qiu was considering how to say it.
Madam Shen then continued, "You want to ask why I, a veteran of the battlefield, am being wronged in this small space in the backyard?"
Shen Qiu nodded and looked at Old Madam Shen, waiting for her next words.
Madam Shen stood up, looked into the distance and said, "What I despise most is fighting with those women for a man and changing themselves beyond recognition. If he has me in his heart, I can keep him even if I don't fight. But if he no longer has me in his heart, I can't win him back even if I fight, and in the end I will lose myself. How worthless is that?"
Then he looked at Chen Qiu and said, "Actually, you and I are very similar. Men are willing to give them a chance when they come back, but if they are hurt a few times, they will not give again. Since you can't get it, you might as well let it go."
Chen Qiu smiled and said, "But I still feel soft-hearted. Otherwise, grandma wouldn't have stayed in Kyoto. I'm afraid she would have gone to the northwest long ago, right?"
Madam Shen sat down and sighed, "Who says it's not true? I've been with him for almost fifty years, right? I remember I met him when I was fifteen, followed Emperor Taizu on his campaigns, married him when I was nineteen, and had your father when I was twenty-two."
"That was the year I had my own child, but that was also the year I had a rift with him."
Chen Qiu asked, "Is it because of Aunt Zhao?"
Madam Shen nodded and said, "I originally rescued her on the battlefield. I felt sorry for her and kept her by my side. She is skillful and speaks softly, unlike me. I am used to being careless and don't care about anything. But it was this person who dealt me the most fatal blow when I was most vulnerable."
Old Madam Shen smiled bitterly and said: "When I was still in confinement, I resisted the urge to kill her and drank her concubine's tea."
Shen Qiu reached out and held Madam Shen's hand, and said, "My father knows all this, right? That's why he asked me to come back every year to accompany you for a while!"
Old Madam Shen smiled and said, "Yes, when I was a child, I heard your grandfather and I quarreling and learned about this. I still remember that time, he put his thin arms around me and said, 'Mom, don't cry. Lin'er loves you. Lin'er will take you with him wherever he goes, okay?'"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Shen shed a tear.
Madam Shen looked at Chen Qiu and said, "When I told you about this marriage with the Duke's Mansion, I was extremely reluctant. The story between Ye Chen and Miss Gu was widely spread in the capital."
"Ye Chen was raised by me. He looked delicate and pretty, but he was actually very hard-hearted. At that time, I knew you would be wronged if you married him, but I still married you for the sake of the Shen family."
Chen Qiu smiled and said, "Okay, grandma, why are you talking about this again? It's over. I'm doing very well now. You know, my husband treats me very well. Please don't blame yourself. Okay?"
Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "Okay, listen to my granddaughter."
Mu Qing reported to Ye Chen today that the wolf girl was unwilling to go with him, so Ye Chen thought of going to take a look himself. In the previous life, it was his Qiu'er who subdued her, so this life he wanted to buy her and give her to Qiu'er, so he went to the underground slave market with Mu Qing.
But he tried both soft and hard tactics, but the wolf girl just refused to go with him. The wolf girl was ruthless and all the broken iron could not stop her. She just didn't want to leave, so as long as she didn't want to, no one could take her away.
Ye Chen had no choice but to go back to find Chen Qiu, but when the servants said that Chen Qiu had returned to the Shen family, he rushed over immediately. Unexpectedly, he heard the conversation between Chen Qiu and Old Madam Shen.
