"When I didn't want to leave, something happened inside Dongyue Tower. People were pushing and shoving each other, crowding the streets and alleys."
"I twisted my ankle by accident, so I went back to the clinic to get some medicine, and came back when I felt better."
Shen Cangyuan didn't care what happened inside Dongyue Tower, but seeing Shen Qiyin's words, Shen Guangzong's ugly expression became impossible to hide, and Shen Ruyin even knocked over a teacup, making it impossible for him not to pay attention.
"When I first saw you, I wanted to ask you, what happened to you two siblings?" Shen Cang's brows furrowed, revealing his displeasure: "Why do you look so disheveled?"
Now, there's no way to hide it anymore.
While it was indeed Shen Ruyin's fault that things happened at Dongyue Tower, it is also an undeniable fact that Shen Guangzong fought against her.
Feeling embarrassed, he hurriedly returned to his residence and stayed in his courtyard, intending to wait until later when no one was watching before speaking to his grandmother and properly punishing Shen Ruyin.
Who would have thought that Father would return home at this time!
Although Shen Cang valued his son, his treatment differed from that of the doting Madam Shen. He was particularly strict when it came to matters concerning Shen Guangzong and Shen Yaozu's studies and reputation.
Therefore, when he asked Shen Guangzong about the injury on his face, the latter stammered for a long time without giving a clear answer.
Shen Cang lost all patience: "What exactly happened?!"
Shen Guangzong immediately knelt down.
"Father, it's all my fault, it's all my fault," Shen Guangzong said, looking heartbroken.
Next, he recounted the embarrassing incident of accidentally bumping into Shen Ruyin at Dongyue Tower.
In the story, he kindly advised her, but Shen Ruyin was so ungrateful that she not only insulted and ridiculed him in public, but even pulled and fought him when she got excited.
As for him, he only accidentally injured Shen Ruyin in the chaos.
He absolved himself of all responsibility, which infuriated Shen Ruyin!
But before she could even kneel down and offer a word in her defense, the old lady angrily demanded, "Wasn't Third Girl supposed to be reflecting on her actions in her own courtyard? How did she end up outside? What are your servants doing? Who let her out?"
Shen Guangzong said, "We'll have to ask Aunt Zheng about that."
Before the words were finished, Aunt Zheng, whose name had been called, stood up tremblingly and knelt down next to Shen Ruyin.
Now that things have come to this, what else does Madam Shen not understand? It turns out that this little hussy's claim of going home to raise money was a pretense; her real intention was to abduct her mistress to meet men in secret!
"You've really gone too far!"
The old lady was furious, but Shen Cang was somewhat confused.
Finally, Aunt Zhou "thoughtfully" told him everything that had happened recently.
Upon hearing that Shen Ruyin and Feng Heng had been having an affair at Jing'an Temple, and that Shen Qiyin had broken off her engagement with the Feng family, Shen Cang seemed unable to bear it any longer and collapsed with her eyes closed.
Everyone panicked instantly: "Could it be that the master has fallen ill from anger?"
Shen Qiyin was amused: Could it be that her father was angered to death?
Madam Shen asked Shen Qiyin to take Shen Cang's pulse. She went over and took his pulse, only to find with disappointment that he was just unconscious.
How is your father?
"He was so angry that he fainted because his blood rushed to his head." Shen Qiyin guessed that he must have been in a state of fear and anxiety in prison these days, unable to eat or sleep well, and his body had long since given way.
Having finally been released, he was first upset by the old lady's outburst, and then he heard about all the things that had happened in the mansion. Naturally, he was going to be furious.
"I'll get a prescription and have the servants go to the pharmacy to get some medicine and boil it. I think Father will feel better after drinking it."
"Very well, very well." Madam Shen hurriedly ordered someone to prepare writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Even at this point, she didn't forget to take advantage of the situation, saying, "Go to Guangrentang to get the medicine. You're a doctor there, so if you want to get some medicine, they won't accept payment."
“Alright.” Shen Qiyin nodded: “It’s a good opportunity to tell them that I am the second young lady of the Shen family.”
"this……"
Madam Shen hesitated.
Shen Cang was so angry about all the recent troubles that he was dizzy. If she were to make decisions on her own again, he might complain about her when he woke up. It would be better to avoid trouble.
So he changed his mind and said, "Never mind, it's not that we can't afford that little bit of money. We don't want those poor slobs to laugh at us for being stingy."
"yes."
Shen Qiyin said no more and went to the side to write a prescription.
Due to Shen Cang's sudden fainting, the matter of Shen Ruyin seemed to have been left unresolved.
But Shen Qiyin knew that this matter wouldn't be so easily forgotten.
Sure enough, Shen Cang woke up in the middle of the night and, without even waiting until the next day, immediately gave the order to send Shen Ruyin to the estate early the next morning.
The only thing they told the public was that she was sick and needed to rest.
As for Aunt Zheng... she received a thorough beating.
The rattan cane that hadn't been used on Madam Shen that day finally fell on her.
Shen Cang was furious, and even Shen Yaozu's pleas for mercy were of no use.
Shen Xiyin learned of this while she was having breakfast.
Honeysuckle chattered on and on, forgetting even to eat. Shen Qiyin didn't urge her, but silently put food into her bowl, all of which were her favorite dishes.
Honeysuckle is small in size, but has a huge appetite.
After devouring three bowls of rice, two chicken drumsticks, a plate of shrimp, and a bowl of egg drop soup, she patted her round belly and let out a satisfied sigh: "I'm full... burp..."
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed her mistress looking at her with some surprise. She scratched her chin sheepishly and said, "Hehe, Miss, don't be fooled by how much I eat. I'm not a freeloader. I'm incredibly strong!"
