Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for the vendors and passersby to hear clearly.
If Shen Qiyin directly refuses, people will inevitably think that she is worried that her disciple will starve her, or that Shen Mengyin's medical skills will surpass hers in the future.
Oh.
They wanted to use public pressure to force her to agree.
Dream on!
"If you want to learn medicine, why do you have to come to me? Isn't Father currently retired and at home? Let him teach you." Shen Qiyin looked puzzled: "Or do you think Father's medical skills are inferior to mine, and therefore you don't want him to teach you?"
"No!" Shen Mengyin quickly denied.
If this gets back to the manor and Shen Cang finds out, she'll never have a good day again!
She didn't really want to learn medicine; she just wanted an excuse to stay by Shen Qiyin's side.
Only by gaining her trust can one have a chance to avenge their aunt.
If all goes well, I might even be able to access her current network of contacts, which would be of great benefit to my future.
But she never expected that Shen Qiyin would push her to her father!
"...There have been many things going on in the manor lately, and I was afraid that my father would be upset, so I dared not disturb him."
"So you've come to bother me, haven't you?" Shen Xiyin's tone was slightly cold: "Besides, knowing there are many things to do in the manor, why don't you help share the burden of your elders instead of running around aimlessly?"
Shen Mengyin clenched her fist so tightly that her nails dug into her skin.
"Second sister, I was wrong, please don't be angry." As she spoke, she started to cry, as if Shen Qiyin had bullied her.
"I'm not angry." Shen Qiyin still had that calm and collected look on her face: "Just because you have a bad temper and often beat or scold your servants doesn't mean that everyone is like you and gets angry all the time."
Upon hearing this, Shen Mengyin looked at her in astonishment: "I didn't..."
"I had no choice!" Her voice directly drowned out hers: "Shen Ruyin just made such a fuss, making our family a laughing stock. You and she are both born to Aunt Zheng. When people see you, they will naturally think of her. And when they think of her, they will inevitably talk about what Father did. Do you want to hear that?"
"Furthermore, the day Aunt Zheng was arrested and imprisoned, you went to visit her, and the very next day she committed suicide in prison. Do you know what people outside are saying about this?"
"Now that the storm is finally passing, you're back out here again. Are you hoping to become the subject of everyone's gossip?"
After several questions, Shen Mengyin was rendered speechless.
She really felt like crying now.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, watching from the sidelines, I couldn't help but want to applaud and cheer.
That's absolutely brilliant.
Every word she uttered was a reminder to this innocent girl not to let the Shen family become a laughing stock, but in reality, she was constantly reminding everyone of the Shen family's shameful deeds.
If Miss Shen were to enter the Censorate, she might even force the emperor to abdicate.
Not only did Shen Mengyin fail to achieve her goal, she also received a scolding. However, she had no better reason to defend herself at the moment, so she could only leave in a sorry state.
Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, the carriage was suddenly blocked by someone.
A well-dressed maid said to her, "Miss Shen, my mistress invites you."
