Chapter 18 The doctor who could cure the old lady's headache was driven away
When Shen's father returned home, Shen Shuwei and others should go to pay them a visit.
When Shen Shuwei came to the study, Shen Zhiyang was already there. She was sticking to Shen Yuan and acting coquettishly, pestering him to tell her everything that had happened in recent days, and also praised Shen Shuwei a lot.
"Third sister! You're here." Shen Zhiyang caught a glimpse of Shen Shuwei standing at the door, and quickly reached out to pull her in, leading her to Shen Yuan, and proudly introduced her, "Dad, this is Third Sister! She's much better than Chu Xinrou, right?"
Chen Shuwei looked at the man in front of him who was over forty but still handsome and elegant. He leaned over and was about to greet and call him father, but was held back by a hand.
She looked at Shen Yuan, who was stopping her from saluting, with confusion, "Father?"
Shen Yuan pursed his lips and looked at him with a complicated expression. After a while, he said, "You just returned home. There's no need for such a grand ceremony."
Chen Zhiyang interrupted, "Yes, yes, Third Sister, you've been busy since you got home. Now that Dad is back, just talk to him nicely. Why should we exchange formalities as a family? It's so awkward."
Shen Shuwei said nothing, just looked at Shen Yuan.
She had never met Shen Yuan in her previous life, and when she saw him in this life, she did not feel any admiration for him, but just followed the etiquette.
However, the way Shen Yuan looked at her made her feel strange. It was not like the look of a father looking at his missing child who had returned home, but rather the look of a lower-ranking person looking at a higher-ranking person.
Shen Shuwei frowned. Even though she had helped the Shen family a lot, Shen Yuan shouldn't have shown such an expression.
Seeing Shen Shuwei looking at him, Shen Yuan coughed and said, "I just came back and I'm tired, so I'll go back to my room to rest."
When Shen Zhiyang heard this, his eyes widened and he grabbed him, refusing to let him go no matter what.
Shen Yuan was helpless but doting. He reached out and rubbed Shen Zhiyang's head. "Stop making trouble. Daddy is really tired. Tomorrow, tomorrow Daddy will definitely get up early to accompany you, okay?"
Shen Zhiyang then let go of him and muttered, "That's almost it."
Chen Shuwei stood quietly by and watched the interaction between father and daughter, like an outsider who couldn't fit in.
This is a normal relationship between father and daughter. Shen Yuan is too distant from her.
After sending Shen Yuan away, Shen Zhiyang came over to pester Chen Shuwei and chuckled twice, "Tomorrow, Third Sister, let's go fly a kite with Dad. The kites Dad makes are so beautiful. Third Sister, let Dad make one for you too."
Chen Shu smiled and looked down at her, "I'm going to the street to look at shops tomorrow. Ayang, go ahead, and don't forget to bring me a branch of peach blossoms."
With the experience of her previous life, she planned to open a few shops to increase the income for the Shen family and prepare for the disaster in half a month.
In her previous life, the Jingning Marquisate made a fortune from the disaster thanks to her, and even received a commendation from the Emperor. Who knows if they will be so lucky in this life?

The Marquis of Jingning's mansion was in chaos right now. The reason was simple: the old lady had gotten so angry at the family recognition banquet that she had a headache. She leaned on the couch and groaned louder and louder. She asked someone to quickly call her usual doctor to give her acupuncture.
The maids and servants in the room looked at each other, not daring to speak.
Because Doctor Lin, who was employed in the mansion and could cure the old lady's headache, was driven out on the day the eldest lady returned home.
When Ji Jinglan and Marquis Jingning rushed over and saw the old lady in so much pain, they immediately scolded the servants, "You are asking for death! The old lady is in so much pain, and you are still standing here watching! Why don't you go and get Doctor Lin?"
After Ji Jinglan finished scolding, she saw that those people were hesitant and didn't move. She frowned and continued to scold. The old lady's dowry nanny stepped forward bravely and said, "Madam, it's not that we don't want to invite you, it's Doctor Lin... Doctor Lin..."
"What's wrong, doctor?" asked Marquis Jingning with a gloomy face.
The dowry nanny glanced at Ji Jinglan.
Marquis Jingning saw her little move and slammed the table. "Just say what I told you to say. See what she does!"
The dowry nanny hurriedly lowered her head, closed her eyes, and shouted, "The eldest lady used the excuse that the mansion's expenses were too high, and sent someone to drive Doctor Lin out on the first day she returned home."
Ji Jinglan's eyes went dark.
There is no one in Manluo Kyoto who can treat the old lady's headache. The only one was invited by Shu Wei himself and kept in the mansion. Now that he is driven away, who else can treat the old lady?
Marquis Jingning's beard trembled with anger, and his blood rushed to his body. He glared at Ji Jinglan, who shrank back and dared not look at him, and gritted his teeth, "Tell someone to bring the doctor back."
The dowry nanny looked embarrassed. "When the old lady first fell ill, she sent for him. But the eldest lady threw all of Doctor Lin's bedding out of the house that day and said he was a fraud in the Marquis's mansion, eating and drinking for free. She won't let him set foot in the mansion again."
The nanny carefully glanced at Marquis Jingning's face and saw that he was about to faint from anger. She hurriedly added the second half of the sentence, "The palace sent people to invite him three times. Doctor Lin scolded them and sent them away the first time. The next two times, he beat them out with a stick."
"Go! Go and tie up that rebellious girl for me!"
Chu Xinrou was lying on the couch with a listless look on her face, and her maid Jin Que was fanning her.
She had already been upset at the family reunion banquet, and was threatened by the man next to Chen Shuwei. She was so frightened that her heart disease came back.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and several burly maids came in with sneers.
Chu Xinrou sat up from the couch, clutching her chest, and cursed, "Who allowed you to break into my room? Get out now."
The maids were sent by Marquis Jingning, so they were not afraid of her. "Miss, the Marquis has ordered you to go to the main hall to see him."
Chu Xinrou felt a tightness in her chest and pursed her lips as she said, "I just had a heart attack and the doctor told me not to move easily. If there's anything wrong with my father, I'll go see him later."
Seeing that she was unwilling to leave, the maids were also happy to laugh at her, so they asked again, "Are you really not going?"
Chu Xinrou was annoyed by their questions and suddenly overturned the table, sending cups, bowls, and dishes crashing down at their feet. "I said I'm not going, and that's how I say it. Who do you think you are to question your master?"
After being humiliated by Chu Xinrou, the few people stopped talking and went to report to Marquis Jingning with a sneer.
He is courting death himself, why should they stop him?
After hearing their report, Marquis Jingning almost smashed the table and angrily took his men to Liuliyuan.
Ji Jinglan tried to stop him, but was kicked by Marquis Jingning. She fell to the ground, her eyes red as she watched Marquis Jingning leave, a trace of regret rising in her heart.
How could this happen? In the past, the Marquis was not only very affectionate with her, but also treated her with respect. He had never laid a hand on her in the twenty years of their marriage.
Xinrou was personally approved by Master Jinghui to be the phoenix, so their lives should get better and better after entering the mansion.
First, there was no money in the account, then there was a scandal at the family reunion banquet, and now even the old lady is ill.
It was obvious that when Shu Wei was around, she never had to worry about these things.
Shu Wei... Yes, Shu Wei, she was going to find Shu Wei. She wanted Shu Wei to help Xinrou. Shu Wei listened to her the most. Once she gave the order, Shu Wei would definitely help her sister Xinrou.
