Chapter 60 He is too spoiled Miss
Shen Shuwei stared at Jing Yin's yard for a long time, then shook his head and said, "Go back and rest."
Qingdai looked at Shen Shuwei in some surprise. The girl seemed to care a lot about Master Jing. Hadn't she been discussing with Divine Doctor Yun these days on how to take care of Master Jing's health? Why didn't she care when a thief broke into Master Jing's yard?
Chen Shuwei didn't explain much, but just told Qingdai to forget the black shadow she saw tonight and not to mention it to anyone in the mansion.
But before Shen Shuwei could mention it, someone bumped into him.
The next morning, seeing the man hunched like a wooden stake beside Zhao Yun, Shen Shuwei's eyelids twitched. Qingdai also looked at the man with a deeper meaning. The more he looked at him, the more he looked like the shadow she had seen last night.
Zhao Yun was completely unaware. He coughed softly a few times, then smiled gently and introduced the people around him to Shen Shuwei, "This is Xun Xiao. I bought him this morning when I went out to buy groceries."
Xun Xiao had a blank expression on his face and was unmoved by Zhao Yun's introduction.
He came last night to inform the Crown Prince of King Jing's death, wanting him to prepare for the succession and be wary of the Fifth Prince, who was his half-sister.
Unexpectedly, the prince didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he gave him another task: to protect someone.
"Did you bring someone back while buying groceries?" Chen Shuwei glanced at Xun Xiao meaningfully.
Xun Xiao raised his head and narrowed his eyes to look at Chen Shuwei. This was the person the prince asked him to protect.
She is beautiful, but different from the girls from Liangzhou. She has the gentleness and grace of girls from the south of the Yangtze River.
Zhao Yun heard the deep meaning in Shen Shuwei's words and explained in a gentle voice, "He is a refugee from Yuzhou. Because all his family members have died, he has nowhere to go but to become a slave."
"It's not expensive, I bought it for one or two taels of silver." Zhao Yunduo explained, "I didn't use the silver the girl gave me, but my own money."
Xun Xiao raised the corner of his lips slightly but said nothing.
When he came, Chengfeng told him that the prince had had enough of his good life and was working as a servant to the girls outside. He did not believe it and gave Chengfeng a lecture, forbidding him to talk nonsense about his master.
I never thought...
Chen Shuwei just smiled without saying anything, took the flower dew drink handed to him by Zhao Yun and took a sip.
"Jing Yin, are these really refugees from Yuzhou?" She was willing to give him a chance to confess.
However, Zhao Yun did not hear the true meaning of her words. He nodded and said yes, and asked Shen Shuwei what he wanted to eat for breakfast, and he would prepare it right away.
Shen Shuwei put down the cup, turned around and left with Qingdai, "No, I'm not hungry."
Seeing the master and servant walking away, Zhao Yun gently stroked the cup on the table with his fingertips, rubbing the rim of the cup stained with vermilion lipstick, and suddenly let out a short chuckle.
The cup broke on the ground, and Xun Xiao didn't even raise his eyelids.
Zhao Yun didn't want to let him go, and sat in the rocking chair, asking in distress: "Xun Xiao, have I been pampering her too much recently? She actually dared to lose her temper with me."
Xun Xiao didn't know and didn't want to answer.
But ignoring the prince's words would bring him no good consequences, so Xun Xiao raised his eyelids and said calmly, "Prince, I just entered Luojing last night and met Miss Shen for the first time today."
The implication was that he had not seen how Zhao Yun had doted on Chen Shuwei before, so he could not give an answer.
Zhao Yun lazily propped up his face, tapping the armrest with his fingertips. "Useless, get off."
Xun Xiao responded and picked up the broken pieces of the cup on the ground before going downstairs.
He was afraid that the prince would use the cup to make trouble and punish him.
For several days in a row, Shen Shuwei ignored Zhao Yun. Sometimes when he ran into him in the kitchen, he would just politely ask him when he left the Shen family.
Zhao Yun, who had deliberately planned the encounter, narrowed his eyes when he heard Chen Shuwei's words that were a disguised way of asking him to leave. He hid his hands under his sleeves and broke the white jade pendant that he was going to give to someone.
"Tsk." Zhao Yun threw the white jade pendant into the haystack and turned to leave the kitchen.
He was too pampering to the young lady, allowing her to talk to him like this.
Shen Shuwei, who had left the kitchen, also frowned. Divine Doctor Yun, who was sitting opposite her, looked up at her and said in a mysterious tone, "Miss Shen, I see that you have been experiencing a lot of liver fire and depression lately. Would you like me to prescribe some heat-clearing and fire-reducing medicine for you to regulate your mood?"
Chen Shuwei naturally knew that she had been in a bad state in recent days. She didn't know where the inexplicable unhappiness and depression in her heart came from. After thinking about it all night, she attributed it to the fact that she hated being deceived, especially by people she was sincere to.
She politely declined Doctor Yun's kindness and asked him how his research on the prescription went.
My eldest brother's frailty was a result of his mother's infancy, so Divine Doctor Yun could only prescribe nourishing prescriptions to slowly heal him. But Jing Yin's condition was acquired, so Divine Doctor Yun had a way to cure it.
Seeing Chen Shuwei asking about Jing Yin's prescription, Divine Doctor Yun showed an embarrassment on his face, "Miss Chen, have you thought it through? Do you really want to find all the herbs in the prescription for that kid?"
"Those herbs are hard to find. Not only are they extremely expensive, but some are even only available in the palace."
An ordinary family might not be able to afford this prescription even if they emptied their family fortune. Chen Shuwei is not rich but has nowhere to spend it. Doctor Yun hopes that she can give it more consideration.
Chen Shuwei nodded without hesitation, took out the purse he had prepared long ago and pushed it in front of Divine Doctor Yun, saying sincerely: "Half of this is for your consultation fee. Please keep an eye out. If there are herbs that match the prescription on the market, please buy them for me."
Since he was preparing to take care of Jing Yin's body, most of the money Shen Shuwei earned after returning to the Shen family was spent on it.
Although Jing Yin never told the truth, he had saved her several times. Shen Shuwei still hoped that he could take good care of his body and live a life like ordinary people without having to take those bitter pills.
Doctor Yun sighed and skillfully took the purse she handed him.
During this period, Shen Shuwei gave him a lot of medical fees, but he didn't take a penny and kept it all to buy medicinal materials.

Time flew by and another five days passed. It had been more than half a month since the Third Prince went to Yuzhou to control the flood with his ambitious proposal on flood control.
News from Yuzhou also flew into the imperial study like snowflakes.
At first, the third prince relocated the people according to the methods in the policy proposal, provided porridge to relieve the disaster, and everything was in order.
His Majesty also praised the Third Prince and Marquis Jingning highly. Even Concubine Rou, who had been demoted to a talented lady some time ago, was successfully reinstated and received many rewards.
Two days ago, the dam that the Third Prince had overseen was destroyed by a flood just as it was completed. Unable to contain the flood, the water, which had been held back for half a month, surged even more violently, sweeping away not only a dozen workers who had built the dam, but also the official in charge, whose body has never been found.
As soon as this news reached Luojing, it caused an uproar. The court was arguing fiercely about this matter, and the officials of the Ministry of Revenue were the most aggressive.
Before leaving, the third prince swore that the dam would be useful, and only then did they agree to empty most of the national treasury to let him work overtime to build the dam.
What happened? The dam was just completed and was washed away by the flood. Not only did hundreds of thousands of taels of silver go down the drain, but so many people died!
Is the Third Prince capable of doing the job? If not, get out of here and get someone else to do it!
The emperor was also annoyed by their quarrels and was very dissatisfied with the matter of Yuzhou. However, because the third prince was not in the capital, his anger was vented on the Marquis of Jingning, who had offered a good plan for flood control.
