Chapter 70 Bitten by a Dog
Shen Haisheng and Mrs. Shen looked at each other. They didn't even know whether their sister had slept with them?
Shen Mingzhu looked unhappy. "Don't you know whether I slept with you or not? I slept with you a few times. What's there to show off?"
In the past, she would have slapped her to remind Shen Chuwei of her status as a concubine's daughter.
But now Shen Chuwei's position is higher than hers, so she can only bear it.
It's no wonder that Shen Chu was surprised. She had always thought that except for her, everyone else in the East Palace had slept with him.
Now it seems that she is not the only one who has never really slept with a man~
Shen Mingzhu concealed her embarrassment and whispered, "Your Highness is busy with official duties every day, and there are many women in the East Palace. How can you remember these things?"
Shen Chuwei nodded in agreement, lowered his head and continued to eat the chicken leg. After finishing it, he picked up an abalone and put it in the bowl and started eating.
As for the repeated exhortations from Shen Haisheng and Mrs. Shen, Shen Chuwei only took a bite and responded, but it made the two of them very angry.
Chunxi stood aside and listened, and almost couldn't help laughing out loud several times. Her master had an unusual way of thinking, and most people couldn't follow his conversation.
But then again, he wanted Shen Mingzhu to gain favor with the help of his master, but all he said was to help Shen Mingzhu, without considering his master at all.
Shen Chuwei ate and drank her fill, put down her bowl and chopsticks contentedly, and wiped her mouth with the wet handkerchief handed to her by Chunxi.
The other four people at the table didn't eat much, but they were full.
After the meal was cleared away, the maid brought snacks and tea.
Shen Chuwei had just finished his meal and was feeling greasy, so he picked up the teacup in front of him, brought it to his mouth and took a sip.
Madam Shen stared at Shen Chuwei for a long time and found that Shen Chuwei seemed to have changed since she entered the palace. In the past, Shen Chuwei dared not eat and drink freely in the Shen Mansion? Not to mention sitting in front of them to drink tea, she had to be careful even when talking.
It is because I have His Highness as my backer that I dare to be so arrogant.
Although Mrs. Shen was unhappy in her heart, she did not dare to show it. Shen Chuwei was no longer a wild girl from the country.
Mrs. Shen took Shen Mingzhu aside to have a private conversation.
"I really shouldn't have let Shen Chuwei enter the palace with you. I didn't expect that such a little girl would be so scheming. Not only did she snatch your favor, she also wanted to kick you away." Mrs. Shen regretted it so much now.
Shen Mingzhu clenched her handkerchief tightly. "Mother, it's too late to say these words now. Shen Chuwei is in favor now and has been promoted to Liang Di. Your Highness's soul has been seduced away by her."
"What should we do now? You can't let a concubine's daughter climb over your legitimate daughter." Mrs. Shen became angry when she thought of Shen Chuwei's smug look just now.
Shen Mingzhu was also unwilling to let a concubine's daughter live better than herself, so she gritted her teeth and leaned close to Mrs. Shen's ear and whispered a few words.
Mrs. Shen nodded.
Shen Chuwei had the habit of taking a nap, and now he felt a little sleepy after eating and drinking enough. It was a pity that this was the Shen Mansion, not Xiyun Pavilion, so he could lie down wherever he wanted.
Unable to sleep, she asked Chunxi to accompany her for a walk in the yard to wake her up.
The Shen family’s house is very big, and the backyard is also quite large.
After walking for a while, I heard a dog barking.
Chunxi was most afraid of dogs. When she heard the barking, she was so scared that she grabbed Shen Chuwei's hand. Then she saw a dog jumping out from the bushes.
The dog was pitch black, very large, with sharp canine teeth bared, and looked very ferocious.
Shen Chuwei looked at the dog not far away. According to the original owner's memory, this dog was raised by Shen Tingfeng, the eldest son of Minister Shen. It was said that this dog had bitten someone before.
Chunxi was so scared when she saw such a big dog that she grabbed Shen Chuwei's arm and said, "My dear, be careful, this dog is very fierce."
"My lady, be careful." Little Rabbit and Little Guizi came out from behind and stood in front of Shen Chuwei.
The black dog ran into the crowd like a flea, barking with its mouth open, until it ran in front of Shen Chuwei, and suddenly stopped.
Chunxi ordered in panic, "Hurry up and chase the dog away. What if it hurts the young master?"
"It's okay, it's just a dog." After Shen Chu finished caressing Chunxi, he pushed Xiao Guizi and Little Rabbit away and walked away from the two of them.
When the little rabbit saw Shen Chuwei coming out from behind him, he said with some concern: "My lord, this dog is very fierce."
"It's okay." Shen Chuwei walked to the black dog and squatted down.
The black dog barked loudly and kept moving back and forth, looking restless.
Everyone who saw this scene was so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat.
Shen Mingzhu was also very nervous when she saw this scene. She couldn't help urging the black dog to scratch Shen Chuwei's face to see what else she could use to fight for his favor.
Just when everyone thought the black dog would pounce on Shen Chuwei, something unexpected happened.
The originally agitated black dog suddenly calmed down, supported its front legs and sat down on the ground, with its mouth open, tongue hanging out and tail wagging.
Shen Chuwei then stood up and said to Chunxi, "Let's go and have a look somewhere else."
Chunxi looked at the black dog in surprise. The dog that was so fierce just now was now so well-behaved.
Shen Mingzhu was somewhat unwilling to see Shen Chuwei leave safely. She turned her head to look at Shen Tingfeng and asked unhappily, "Brother, is your dog stupid?"
Shen Tingfeng was also puzzled, "How should I know? Normally, he is very fierce. If he sees a stranger, he will definitely rush over and bite people. But today he has become obedient?"
The two men walked out from behind the rockery and went straight to the black dog.
Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but curse: "Silly dog, what's the point of keeping you?"
The black dog, which was originally sitting, suddenly stood up, rushed towards Shen Mingzhu, opened its mouth and bit her leg.
Shen Mingzhu was wearing a light green dress today. Her calf was bitten by a dog and was bleeding, and the hem of her skirt was quickly dyed red.
Shen Mingzhu was so frightened that her face turned pale. She kicked her legs desperately, "You beast, let me go quickly, it hurts."
Seeing this, Shen Tingfeng whipped out his whip and lashed at the black dog, "You beast, let go."
The black dog was whipped hard and immediately let go of Shen Mingzhu, turned around and rushed towards Shen Tingfeng, biting the hand holding the whip.
Shen Chuwei hadn't walked far when she heard a scream. She turned around and saw the black dog struggling with Shen Tingfeng.
Chunxi and Little Rabbit were all frightened when they saw this scene.
This scene happened too suddenly. Who would have thought that the black dog, who was usually very obedient in front of Shen Tingfeng, suddenly went crazy today.
When they reacted, they found that Shen Mingzhu and Shen Tingfeng were both bitten by the black dog. The servants rushed forward to stop it, and it took a long time to rescue the two from the dog's mouth.
After a busy period, a doctor was called to treat the two people.
Shen Mingzhu cried very miserably.
Shen Tingfeng is not much better.
Mrs. Shen felt sorry for her children being bitten by a dog and cried so hard that she was out of breath.
The room was in chaos.
Shen Haisheng looked at his children's injuries with concern while comforting his wife.
Outside the door, Chunxi looked at the people in the room. Mrs. Shen was crying so miserably that those who didn't know would have thought she was crying for a funeral.
