Chapter 500: Coercion, bribery, and bribery are equal to robbery

After Shen Chuwei kissed him, she stood up straight and looked at Xiao Jinyan with a smile: "I'm going back. I'll come again tomorrow night."

Lin Xian finally reacted, and when he saw her about to leave, he reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Shen Chuwei's eyebrows curved slightly, "My husband, have you changed your mind? Do you want me to stay?"

"..." Lin Xian: "No."

Shen Chuwei looked at the hand holding her wrist with some disappointment, and asked in confusion: "Then why is my husband holding my hand?"

Lin Xian said coldly: "Men and women should not touch each other, don't you understand?"

Shen Chu sighed helplessly. In his eyes, they were not husband and wife, so he thought the goodnight kiss was an inappropriate behavior.

But in her eyes, they are a loving couple, so what does a kiss mean?

"Of course I understand. My husband, please take a rest first. I'm going back."

Shen Chuwei yawned after she finished speaking. She had been staying up late every night recently. Although she would make up for it during the day, she still felt that she didn't get enough sleep.

During this period of time, Shen Chuwei always came late at night, and it was already late at night when she finished treating the patients. I couldn't see her before, but now I could see that she looked tired. She must be very tired.

When Shen Chuwei came out of the house, she saw Qin Xiao walking out from the dark. Ever since he appeared from behind and scared her last time, Qin Xiao always appeared in front of her.

"Master, has he not remembered yet?"

Shen Chuwei shook his head, thinking back to Xiao Jinyan's reactions during this period, he didn't seem like a person with amnesia, because a person with amnesia would not think about who he is, but would be curious about who he is.

"I don't think he has amnesia."

Qin Xiao asked: "Master, if you don't have amnesia, then what is it?"

"I feel like there's something wrong with his memory." Shen Chuwei pondered but couldn't come to a conclusion, but she felt that Xiao Jinyan didn't dislike her now.

"Is there something wrong with my memory?" Qin Xiao was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

On the day of the Water-Splashing Festival, Shen Chuwei was sleeping soundly in bed when she was awakened by a knock on the door.

It was from the maid that she realized that today was the Water-Splashing Festival, and that people from all over the city would go to the square to splash water and pray for blessings.

After listening to this, Shen Chuwei lay on the couch, closed her eyes and continued to sleep. It is better to sleep than to play in the water~

The maid asked doubtfully, "Doctor Shen, aren't you going?"

Shen Chuwei lay motionless on the couch, her voice lazy: "No."

The maid stared at Doctor Shen for a long time. After getting to know him for these few days, the maid had gotten to know him well. He was a very good person, except that he loved to sleep. He would never stand if he could sit, and would never sit if he could lie down.

Another hobby is eating.

Seeing that Doctor Shen was not interested, the maid stood up and left.

Seeing the Third Master at the door, she stepped forward and bowed, "Third Master, Doctor Shen is resting inside and said he is not interested in the Water Splashing Festival."

"I'll go in and take a look." Ouyang Jingyuan waved away the maid, pushed open the door and walked in, and saw Doctor Shen on the couch. Just as the maid said, he was lying on the couch to rest.

"Doctor Shen, today is the annual Water Splashing Festival, and there are many fruits and cakes. Are you sure you don't want to take a look?"

When Shen Chuwei heard the word pastries and fruits, she immediately opened her eyes and saw Ouyang Jingyuan looking at her with a smile.

"real?"

Ouyang Jingyuan smiled and said, "Of course it's true."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Shen Chuwei climbed up from the couch nimbly.

Ouyang Jingyuan looked at the man who was still half asleep one second, and was putting on his shoes in high spirits the next. He couldn't help laughing, "I thought Doctor Shen knew about this."

"How would I know the customs here?" Shen Chuwei put on her shoes, picked up the sleeping Xuetuan, and urged, "Let's go."

"Okay." Ouyang Jingyuan took Shen Chuwei out.

The sun is shining brightly outside

Shen Chuwei followed Ouyang Jingyuan out of the imperial city. From afar, they could hear the bustling noises of people, the sound of stringed instruments was inaudible, and everywhere they looked, there were people.

She glanced around and didn't see any food, so she poked Ouyang Jingyuan and asked, "Where is the food?"

Ouyang Jingyuan chuckled: "Follow me."

"Okay." Shen Chuwei followed Ouyang Jingyuan to a high platform on one side. The platform was divided into three levels, and many people were sitting on it.

She saw Ouyang Jingyu and Ouyang Leyi sitting on it, and in the middle sat a man about fifty years old. He was wearing moon-white clothes inlaid with gold, and the scarf on his head was also inlaid with gold.

It was not difficult to guess that this man was the chief of the Xing Miao tribe. This was the first time she had seen him after being here for so long.

Ouyang Jingyuan brought Shen Chuwei to the patriarch, placed his right hand on his left chest to salute, and introduced: "Father, this is the doctor Shen who treated the child."

Shen Chuwei imitated Ouyang Jingyuan, raised his right hand and placed it on his left chest to salute, "Patriarch."

The clan leader has been busy recently and has not had time to meet the skilled doctor Shen. Now that he sees how young he is, he is full of surprise.

"Doctor Shen, don't be restrained, eat and drink as you please."

Shen Chuwei bowed and thanked, "Thank you for the hospitality, Patriarch."

Ouyang Jingyuan brought Shen Chuwei to sit next to Ouyang Leyi.

Shen Chuwei looked at the dozens of plates of cakes and fruits in front of her. She couldn't wait to pick up a piece of cake she had never seen before and put it in her mouth and took a bite. It was cool, refreshing, a little sweet and tasted good.

Ouyang Jingyuan picked up the wine pot and poured her a glass of wine. "This is a sweet wine made from fruits. Try it."

Shen Chuwei looked at the sweet wine in the glass cup, which was light red in color. She picked it up and took a sip with curiosity. It tasted sour and sweet, and it was icy at first. It must have been chilled.

Ouyang Letian saw the snowball in Doctor Shen's arms. She turned around, took the arm of the clan leader, and said coquettishly, "Father, Doctor Shen has a pet, and your daughter likes it very much."

Hearing this, the clan leader looked towards the pet in Doctor Shen's arms. He took a quick glance and saw that it was a snow-white cat with lively blue eyes. No wonder his daughter liked it.

"Doctor Shen."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chuwei raised her head and looked at the clan leader. She ate the fruit in her mouth and then asked, "What can I do for you, clan leader?"

The tribe leader smiled and said, "My daughter likes your pet very much. How much do you think it would cost?"

If it were someone else, they would give the pet to Ouyang Leyi for free for the sake of the clan leader.

Shen Chuwei hugged Xuetuan tightly and refused bluntly: "Chief, this is my pet, I won't sell it. I have already rejected Princess Leyi last time."

The smile on the tribe leader's face froze when he heard this. As the tribe leader, how could he have ever been rejected by anyone?

Ouyang Leyi didn't expect that Dr. Shen would not even give her father face. She continued to act coquettishly, "Father, I really like it."

The clan leader looked at his daughter's expectant eyes and couldn't bear to disappoint her, so he had to speak again: "Since Doctor Shen doesn't want money, can you exchange it with something else?"

Shen Chuwei put down the glass cup in her hand and said seriously: "Chief, in your eyes, Xue is a pet, but in my eyes, it is like a family member. I have no intention of selling or giving it away, and I will not use Xuetuan to exchange for things."

The clan leader was insulted again and looked unhappy, but Doctor Shen was unwilling to change. He couldn't use force to force him.

Ouyang Leyi tugged at the patriarch's arm with some reluctance, and continued to act coquettishly, "Father."

Seeing his sister being so unreasonable, Ouyang Jingyuan said, "Sister, a gentleman should not take away what others like. If you like cats, I will buy one for you tomorrow."

Ouyang Leyi found out that her brother was leaning towards outsiders, and said unhappily, "I just like Dr. Shen's pet Xuetuan. Can you find a cat that looks exactly like him?"

Ouyang Jingyuan said: "You are making trouble for no reason. How can there be two cats that are exactly the same?"

"Third brother, my sister likes it. Doctor Shen is not a stingy person. A gentleman helps others to achieve their goals. It's just a cat. What's wrong with giving it to my sister?" The one who spoke was the clan leader's second son Ouyang Jingxuan. He looked at his sister with a doting face.

"My second brother really loves me, unlike some people who only help outsiders." Ouyang Leyi snorted.

"I am neither a gentleman nor generous. I am just an ordinary person. You think too highly of me." Shen Chuwei said righteously.

No one present expected that Dr. Shen would belittle himself like this, leaving them speechless for a moment.

Ouyang Jingyuan retracted his gaze and looked at Shen Chuwei. Her indifferent expression showed that not everyone could openly reject the clan leader. He still admired her a little.

The drums sounded and the water splashing segment began.

No matter they were members of the royal family or nobles, they all walked to the center of the square and splashed water to pray for blessings.

Ouyang Leyi also ran down happily because she wanted to pray for Lin Xian.

Ouyang Jingyuan asked Shen Chuwei, "Will you go to the water splashing ceremony to pray for blessings?"

Shen Chuwei shook her head dryly: "No, I'll go back after I finish eating the cakes and fruits."

Ouyang Jingyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed out loud. She really came just for a few plates of cakes and fruits.

"Then I'll go down."

Shen Chuwei nodded.

As the third grandfather of the Xing Miao ethnic group, Ouyang Jingyuan must participate in the water splashing and blessing ceremony.

After Shen Chuwei finished eating the cakes and fruits, she took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, then picked up Xuetuan and returned to the imperial city.

Back in the guest room, Shen Chuwei put Xuetuan aside and lay down on the couch to continue sleeping because she had to stay up late to treat her illness.

Just when Shen Chu was dozing off, he suddenly heard a fight.

Snowball screamed in surprise, "Meow."

Shen Chuwei raised his head and rubbed his eyes, then saw the maid running in hurriedly.

"Doctor Shen, something happened."

Something happened?

Shen Chuwei sat up from the couch, put on her shoes and walked out of the house, and saw Qin Xiao fighting with a group of guards in the yard.

She yelled, "What the hell is going on?"

Qin Xiao took the time to reply: "Sir, they want to arrest you."

After they all stopped, Shen Chuwei asked in confusion: "Why did you arrest me?"

The leading guard said, "The Third Master suddenly fainted. Please ask Doctor Shen to come with us."

If it weren't for his sharp words, Shen Chuwei would have thought they were joking.

"He was fine before I came back, how could he suddenly faint?"

"We are just following orders." The leading guard waved his hand to signal for arrest.

A group of guards surrounded him again, and when Qin Xiao tried to attack, he was stopped by Shen Chuwei.

"This is someone else's territory. They will attack us. We can't attack them head-on."

Hearing this, Qin Xiao stared at the guard who was walking towards him, unwilling to surrender like this.
