Chapter 381 The Shen Family's Troubles
Shen Xuan was now very sure, "Yes, Zhao Ning's detoxification pills are effective."
He could see that the old lady was poisoned. Zhaoning's detoxification pills were said to be able to cure most of the common poisons in the world, so they must be effective.
But the old lady hasn't woken up yet, and it seems that the poison may not be completely eliminated. After all, he has only learned a little bit of the skill of taking a pulse, and he really can't do medical treatment. Now he doesn't know how to treat her.
"Zhaoning's medicine is really effective." The old man choked.
"I'll feed the Yangxin Pill to mother. She should be somewhat conscious now, so it's okay for her to swallow it."
"Okay, okay, then feed her quickly." The old man now really has confidence in Fu Zhaoning's medicine, and urged Shen Xuan to quickly feed the medicine to the old lady.
After Shen Xuan finished his work, he observed the old lady's condition again. Seeing that her pulse had become more stable, he finally felt relieved.
Temporary.
"Father, can you tell me about our family affairs now?" Shen Xuan looked at the old man and could see that he was also exhausted, but now he had to find out the situation first.
The old man actually thought he was going to faint, because he had already reached his limit in the past few days. If the old lady passed away, he felt that he would follow her immediately.
But now, although he was tired, he was still in good spirits.
At least he could sit here and talk to Shen Xuan, which surprised him. He suddenly remembered the Yangxin Pill he had taken before.
Could it be that Shen Xuan was not exaggerating, and Fu Zhaoning's nourishing heart pills were really better than those in the royal family?
"Where are the other servants at Jingqiu Garden?"
"Everyone has their own reasons," the old man sighed, "including Doctor Cong and Doctor Liu. It would take too long to finish explaining them all."
Shen Xuan's eyes darkened slightly.
"Also, why are all these people from my family here? Are they here because of my mother's illness?"
Are we waiting here for the old lady to take her last breath and then hold the funeral immediately?
Although his two uncles and their family had lived in the house before, there were not so many people. He just took a quick look and saw that there were several other more distant relatives here as well.
It’s really a huge group of people.
"They..." The old man sighed again, "They all moved in. Your second uncle agreed to it. He said that it would be better for everyone to be together and take care of each other. And since you are not at home, everyone can discuss any matters in time."
They all moved in!
Shen Xuan suddenly sneered.
So, they really thought that he couldn't be cured this time, and would die outside, and might not be able to come back, so they all came in and prepared to take action?
"The most precious things in our Shen family are those books. The Shen family has a hundred-year collection of books. If you take out a few of them and study them hard, you can become a skilled person. If you establish a school, collect talented children from all over the world, and let them study in different categories, maybe you can reproduce the glory of the Shen family when it helped Dahe become a powerful country."
The old man said this slowly, and once again felt that it must be the effect of the nourishing heart pill, because before this he no longer had the strength to say such a long sentence in one breath.
While secretly shocked, he quickly finished what he wanted to say.
"But because of the fear and suppression of the Dahe royal family, we sealed up those books and did not select the younger generation of children in the clan to read and study as we did in the past. Now, there are not many talented people in the clan."
"We have lost our ambitions, but how can outsiders believe it? There are still so many people who want to take over the Shen family. Ah Xuan, you know how many secret forces tried to win you over in the past few years? You refused, but others in the clan may not be able to resist the temptation."
The old man looked at his wife with a little sadness. "This time the queen summoned your mother to the palace for this matter. The implication is that as long as we send the Shen family's collection of books to the palace, your brother will be pardoned and allowed to return from the Barbarian City to reunite with us."
Shen Xuan's elder brother, Shen Qiong, had committed some crimes in the past and was placed under house arrest in Barbarian City, a thousand miles away from the imperial city. After so many years, the family never had a chance to see each other again, as if they had lost the eldest son.
The old lady had always been obsessed with Shen Qiong, and she almost couldn't resist the sudden temptation from the Queen.
"Your mother has been unhappy since she came back from the palace, so I didn't think much of it at first. I just thought she was upset, had a mental illness or was depressed. I never thought she was poisoned."
"Ah Xuan, you said before that even if we handed over all those things, the emperor might not let us go, because we had already offended the royal family, and they were afraid that our Shen family still had some prestige among the people."
The royal family of Dahe has never been very tolerant.
Once you have offended someone, you will want to eliminate them.
"Now I feel that some of these people in the family may have been moved and bought by others. They want to wait until our family is all dead and then take over the Shen family. No, it should be said that they want to take away the things in the Shen family in exchange for wealth and glory."
The old man has seen clearly in the past six months, because those people finally lost their patience and became anxious. Once anxious, they were too lazy to act properly, revealing their flaws and ambitions.
"So father already knew about it." Shen Xuan was very calm after hearing what the old man said.
"Ah Xuan, you?" The old man originally thought that he still didn't understand, so he wanted to make it clear to him while he was still energetic, so that he wouldn't be so kind and tolerant of such a large family.
"Father, my illness is caused by someone giving me something poisonous. It's a family member."
"What?" The old man was shocked, and then furious.
He originally thought that they just wanted to wait and see, waiting for their family to die of illness or old age without lending a hand, but he didn't expect that they would actually take action!
"How dare they!" The old man slammed the table, his face flushed with anger, "Who is it?"
"I came back to investigate this time. I wanted to inform you first and let you be on guard against them, but I didn't expect that my father had already noticed it."
"Investigate!" The old man clenched his fists. "The Shen family will not tolerate the existence of such a heartless, ruthless and ungrateful person! We tried our best to protect all our clansmen, but they dared to attack you!"
Without Shen Xuan, many of them would not be alive today!
Even now, because of Shen Xuan, the emperor is still somewhat wary of the Shen family!
What benefit will it get them if Shen Xuan dies?
"They are all a bunch of short-sighted people!" Do they think that a little money and profit is good enough? They don't even think about whether they will live to enjoy it!
“Cough cough cough!”
The old man was so angry that he coughed violently.
Shen Xuan looked at him like this, poured him a glass of water, calmed down, and said, "Father, I will bring my brother back."
"Ugh!" The old man stopped coughing suddenly and looked at him in surprise.
"He was falsely accused of being the leader of the Shenyi Sect, which is still a cult that everyone wants to kill. How can he be brought back?"
