Chapter 37 The Princess Makes Things Difficult
Chen Heng noticed that something was wrong with Shen Shuwei, and immediately asked softly, "Third sister, what's wrong with my policy paper?"
Chen Shuwei came back to his senses, suppressed the turbulent thoughts in his heart, and gave Chen Heng a carefree smile, "Brother, this policy paper is very well written. The essence of the writing is unforgettable. There are just a few small points that need to be revised."
With the help of his memories from his previous life, Shen Shuwei and Shen Heng quickly made some revisions to the policy paper.
During this time, Shen Heng looked at Shen Shuwei several times, as if he wanted to ask something, but in the end he didn't ask.
Since the third sister didn't want to talk, he didn't ask.
It was already noon when he finished revising Chen Heng's policy paper and filling in some omissions. Shen Shuwei rubbed his aching neck, but a smile appeared on his face.
Big brother's writing talent is truly outstanding. With big brother writing this policy paper, it is certain that this policy paper will be several times better than the one Chu Xinrou presented in her previous life.
The autumn examination is approaching, and who knows, my brother may be able to take this opportunity to catch the examiner's eye.
Chen Heng also stroked the paper with caressing caress, looking at Chen Shuwei and sighing sincerely, "I didn't know that Third Sister had such a talent for flood control. This policy paper should be signed by Third Sister."
Shen Shuwei quickly declined with a smile. This policy proposal would be most useful if it were submitted by Shen Heng. It would be a good deed that would go down in history when he entered the imperial court. As for the flood in Yuzhou, she had her own things to do.
Shen Shuwei was talking to Shen Heng when Qingdai frowned and hurried over from outside. "Miss, the eldest wife of the Pingchang Marquis's Mansion asked you to bring Divine Doctor Yun with her. They said they have something important to discuss with you."
They said they were discussing something, but the maid who came to deliver the message was not polite at all. She also wanted to bring Doctor Yun along. Anyone with an eye could tell what they were planning.
These days, Chen Shuwei was busy with his own affairs and had forgotten about the people in the first house. When he heard that he was going to bring Dr. Yun to visit, he refused without thinking, "No."
She didn't even bother to find a reason.
Qingdai also conveyed the original words, but she didn't expect that after a while, someone from the eldest wife would bring a delicate-looking and gorgeously dressed little girl to the door.
"This is where Divine Doctor Yun lives. How shabby." The little girl frowned in disdain the moment she entered. "Where's Divine Doctor Yun? Tell him to come out and see me. I want to take him away."
Shen Shuwei got the news and rushed over with Shen Heng. When they heard these extremely derogatory words, both of them had faint smiles on their faces.
On the other hand, when the little girl saw Chen Heng, her eyes lit up and she stared at him without blinking.
Sensing the other party's overly passionate gaze, Shen Heng frowned slightly.
"I wonder what brings you here today, aunt?" Chen Shuwei looked at the people in front of him with a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold and there was no smile at all.
Mei Yingzhu spoke eagerly, "Shuwei, where is that Divine Doctor Yun now? Hurry up and send someone out so that he can accompany this young lady back to the mansion."
When talking about the beautiful girl beside her, Mei Yingzhu's tone was a little unnatural.
Shen Wan followed her mother and glanced at Shen Shuwei, disdain flashing in her eyes, "Cousin, why are you still standing there? Go quickly, this girl is a distinguished guest you can't afford to offend."
Listening to the two people's matter-of-fact tone, Shen Shuwei sneered. It turned out that there was no shortage of such shameless people everywhere.
At this time, she raised her eyes to look at the pretty girl, her gaze fell on a Pisces jade pendant on her waist.
The jade pendant's texture and workmanship are both top-notch, and it's not something you can buy in ordinary shops. And the way she speaks and behaves...
When the little girl saw that Shen Shuwei didn't reply immediately, she frowned and turned around to scold Mei Yingzhu and Shen Wan impatiently, "Is she deaf or dumb? I asked her to go get a doctor, why is she just standing there motionless?"
"Didn't you promise me that I could see Divine Doctor Yun as soon as I arrived? Where is he now? If I delay my business, will your two worthless lives be enough to compensate me?"
Mei Yingzhu, scolded by such a junior, showed no anger on her face, but was terrified. Meanwhile, Chen Wan, standing beside her, had a distorted expression, lowered her head, bit her lower lip, and remained silent.
"I'll ask someone to invite Doctor Yun over right away." Mei Yingzhu said with a smile.
He turned around and shouted at the servants who followed him, with an attitude that he was the boss of the Shen family, "Why don't you guys go in and help Divine Doctor Yun pack his bags and move, and then invite Divine Doctor Yun out!"
The person in front of them is a royal family, no one they can afford to offend.
Upon receiving the order, the servants rushed in with sticks in their hands, much like bandits robbing a house.
Shen Shuwei glanced back and saw the servants of the Shen family coming forward with weapons in hand. The two sides were immediately in a stalemate.
Shen Shuwei raised his eyelids, his expression indifferent, "It's not the eldest aunt's turn to give orders to the Shen family. When Doctor Yun came, he said that he would not go anywhere else except the Shen family. He will leave after curing my eldest brother."
"Then whether the aunt and the girl want to seek medical treatment or anything else will depend on their own ability."
Mei Yingzhu was anxious. She had finally boarded this big ship. How could Chen Shuwei be so ungrateful? She was her aunt and her elder!
What's the big deal about Chen Heng's illness? It's a weak condition he was born with. It's useless to treat it. It's not as important as doing an errand for this noble man in front of him.
"How dare you! Do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like that!" Xiao Fufeng couldn't bear it any longer. She was the most favored daughter of her father. Even though her biological mother was Concubine Rou, who was a palace maid, everyone gave her a little face in public.
The Shen family, a mere family, actually dared to refuse to obey her orders.
Shen Shuwei glanced at her, bowed, and had a distant smile on his face, which made it hard to find fault with him.
"Of course I know. This servant has met the Second Princess."
Although she had never seen the second princess in her previous life, she had heard a lot about her. Relying on the emperor's favor, she took a fancy to a scholar with a good family background when the results of the autumn examination were announced. She strangled the scholar's original wife with a white silk thread and asked the emperor to marry her.
The scholar and his first wife were childhood sweethearts. They met when they were still poor and supported each other to reach their current state. After his first wife died, the scholar did not live a single day longer. On the day of his marriage, he hit his head against the throne and died.
This incident caused a sensation inside and outside the court. The candidates of that year were filled with righteous indignation and wrote to the emperor to ask him to severely punish the second princess. As a result, the second princess knelt in front of the Purple Palace and cried, saying that she had no idea that the candidate had a family background, and that his original wife was strangled to death by one of her own palace maids.
after--
Shen Shuwei twitched the corners of his lips sarcastically.
In the end, the emperor only sentenced her to three months of confinement and made her copy scriptures.
"Since you know my identity, why don't you kneel down and kowtow? Is that how the Shen family teaches you manners? You're a worthless person." Xiao Fufeng rolled his eyes and continued to make things difficult for her. "I'm giving you face by asking you to hand over Divine Doctor Yun. It's a gift to you. Don't be ungrateful!"
Thinking about how her father had been busy with government affairs recently and had been suffering from dizziness, she had to take this opportunity to bring Doctor Yun back to the palace, gain face in front of her father, and step on the other princes and princesses.
Chen Heng heard the challenge in her words and a hint of anger appeared on his face. He was about to speak when Chen Shuwei pulled his sleeve.
"I was merely following protocol. Female officials and their wives are not required to kneel or kowtow except when meeting Your Majesty, the Empress, and the Empress Dowager. If I were to kneel and kowtow to the Princess today, and word of this were to reach the palace or the Censorate, I'm afraid the Princess would be charged with presumption."
Shen Shuwei's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, but Xiao Fufeng's face flushed red when his thoughts were exposed. "How dare you! I'm admonishing you, the daughter of a mere minister, and you dare to teach me a lesson in return."
"Someone, come here! Slap her in the face!"
