Chapter 55 Shen Shaoyu Tells the Truth
Although she was tortured badly by the fierce medicine yesterday, she was not completely unconscious.
From the size and color of the pill, one could tell that this was the one Xiao Mo fed her.
Adding to the smile of this female doctor Jiang, what else does Xu Shuyao not understand?
Not to mention how bad Xiao Mo treated her before, at least at this moment, Xu Shuyao felt grateful in her heart.
Whether it was because of his status as the eldest son of the Chengguo Mansion or because of the old lady's instructions, he did help her.
Under the circumstances of yesterday, Xu Shuyao couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if she met someone else.
Of course, it may also be that it is not attractive enough.
Xu Shuyao raised her eyebrows and smiled.
Seeing her master chuckling alone with the pills in hand, Qiao Wei asked, "Did the prince ask the female doctor to deliver them to you?"
Xu Shuyao nodded.
A smile appeared on Qiao Wei's face. When she saw the situation in the bathing pool yesterday, she thought that the young lady had been harmed by the prince.
But after she came back, she thought about it carefully again. If something really happened, the girl couldn't be as calm as she is now.
However, in the Duke Cheng's Mansion, if the girl can make friends with the Crown Prince, things should be much easier!
Therefore, when Qiao Wei saw that the prince was sending medicine to the girl in the name of Songhetang, she was very happy.
Doctor Jiang left Jiyunzhai and went straight to Qiangweiyuan.
In the Rose Courtyard, Liu Qingwan was embarrassed enough after what happened yesterday and was then summoned to Jinhua Hall by the Second Madam for face-to-face questioning, but she didn't shed a single tear.
Mother Xu in her room felt really distressed when she saw her young lady stumbling while walking.
He had already cursed all the masters of the second and third houses in private.
Mother Xu was yelling about going to see a doctor, but was stopped by Liu Qingwan.
Therefore, when he heard that Songhetang had sent a female doctor, he quickly let her in.
Liu Qingwan, who was in the room, froze in the face when she saw the female doctor from the Jiang family, but she soon regained her composure.
Jiang took her pulse as usual and prescribed another prescription.
But when she left the hospital, her nose twitched and she asked the maid who was seeing her off, "The incense in the room smells so good. Where did you buy it?"
"You are talking about that one. It was made by our young lady herself." The little maid was not shy about it. On the contrary, she was very happy. No one in the mansion knew that the young lady could make incense!
The servants in the Duke's Mansion often praised Miss Xu for being not only beautiful but also smart and capable.
In fact, she felt that her young lady was the same, but her personality had indeed changed a bit since the engagement fell through.
The female doctor from the Jiang family smiled and left, then went to Songhe Hall to report the situation to the old lady.
The old man was relieved to hear that the two were not seriously injured.
However, the people in the mansion did not know that the female doctor left Duke Cheng’s mansion and went to a private room in a teahouse.
It was not until the evening that Xiao Mo returned home.
When Old Madam Xiao saw him, she couldn't help but talk about the marriage between the Second Branch and the Liu Family. "Now that it has come to this, I have to agree even if I don't agree. Do you think His Majesty will still hold the Liu Family accountable?"
Xiao Mo said indifferently: "Nothing."
"What happened that day? Was the incident in our family also caused by that girl from the Shen family?" The old lady paused and asked again.
Xiao Mo smiled and said, "It's the same now."
Old Madam Xiao thought to herself that it was true. People outside were saying that the girl from the Shen family was jealous of the eldest daughter of the Shi family and deliberately embarrassed Miss Shi!
The old lady had personally persuaded Xu Liu and the others to go to the Shen Mansion for a banquet, but this incident happened and she was very angry.
"The Shen family is becoming increasingly outrageous. Fortunately, we discovered this early. Go and speak to the head of the Shen family. Although our Duke's Mansion cannot speak out due to the young lady's reputation, we can't just keep silent and suffer this loss."
Xiao Mo responded with an OK.
The next day, he did not go to see Shen Xinian, the second master of the Shen family, but met with Shen Shaoyu, the eldest son of the Shen family, in a private room in the teahouse.
Shen Shaoyu passed the imperial examination last year and is now working in the Ministry of Works.
When he heard that the prince of Duke Chengguo's mansion was looking for him, he came without even changing into his official robe.
It’s just that when others put on their official robes, they look like officials appointed by the court with dignity, but he looks like he is wearing a large cloth bag.
When the wind blows strongly, it swings left and right.
She is really too thin!
Even Xiao Mo's guards quickly moved aside when they saw him, fearing that this man would rush over and tear them to pieces.
The two knew each other since childhood and were not much different in age, so they were actually quite familiar with each other.
Xiao Mo looked at Shen Shaoyu opposite him, and somehow his mind thought of the scene when he went to the inner courtyard to find his cousin from the Xu family that day.
He knew the eldest son of the Shen family, but he had never heard of him taking the initiative to talk to any female member of the family.
"Why did you go to the inner courtyard to look for cousin Xu that day?" It was a sentence without beginning or end. If people didn't remember it in their heart, most people would not understand it.
But Shen Shaoyu understood it all. "The young lady's surname is Xu? She left the Shen Mansion in a hurry that day. Is everything okay?"
Seeing the series of questions coming from the carefree eldest son of the Shen family, Xiao Mo couldn't help but frown.
He said calmly, "Not dead."
Shen Shaoyu's expression was very serious: "Is the young lady your cousin? Which family of relatives are they from? Have you hired a doctor for her?"
"It's none of your business." Prince Xiao raised his eyebrows.
"It's not nice of you to talk like that, is it? You took the initiative to look for me today, so you can ask questions and I can't. Since you don't want to say anything, I'll leave." Others are afraid of the prince of the Duke's Mansion, but Shen Shaoyu is not.
He was really leaving. As he said this, he put the teacup in his hand on the table and walked towards the door.
But Wuming stood there like a wall.
Shen Shaoyu couldn't get out, so he simply turned back and sat down. He looked at the prince who refused to budge, and sighed, "Since it's impossible for you to marry Shen Jingshu, I'll tell you something! Something that no one outside our Shen family knows."
Xiao Mo didn't say anything. He winked at the guard at the door, and Wuming quickly closed the door and retreated.
At the tea table in front of him, a man in his late twenties was crying as he spoke, "You may not know that Shen Jingshu is not my biological sister. I... I lost my biological sister when she was two years old."
After Shen Shaoyu finished speaking, he wiped his face and looked at Xiao Mo opposite him and said, "I only let you know about this now. I feel sorry for my Shen family. But Shen Jingshu is not someone else, but my aunt's daughter."
Xiao Mo thought of the vague face of the Shen family's master and did not say anything for a while.
As for Shen Jingshu mentioned by the person in front of him, if Xiao Mo had not heard her conversation with the second prince in the palace that day, he might have married her according to the original agreement.
It wasn't out of affection, but to give an explanation to the old lady and my mother.
Xiao Mo didn't expect that he was just asking out of curiosity and was involved in such a secret.
