"..." Shen was startled and her expression changed slightly.

Chu Qianhuang was looking at Chu Qianchen, but saw that Chu Qianchen still had an indifferent expression, as if he didn't care about it.

Chu Qianhuang picked up the teacup casually with her bare hands.

Shen asked the old woman, "What happened? Why did the third young lady destroy Jishitang?"

Shen's face was serious. The third daughter of the Chu family smashed someone's clinic outside. This was not just Chu Qianling's problem. If things went wrong, the Chu family's reputation would be ruined.

Chu Yunmu was also listening curiously, thinking: Isn't that what the dandy boys in operas do? It turns out that the third sister has a worse temper than him! At most, he dared to show off his power in the mansion.

The old woman in green took a breath and then continued, "Madam, the maid who came back to report the news said that the third young lady went to Jishidi Hall to seek medical treatment, but the miracle doctor was not there. The third young lady felt that Jishidi Hall deliberately neglected her, and in a rage, she had the clinic smashed."

Chu Qianhuang frowned slightly and explained, "Mother, I separated from my third sister and the others half an hour ago. I saw that it was getting late and my sisters were still young, so I brought them back first."

"My third sister said she wanted to go shopping again. I thought the second prince and my second brother would accompany her, so I let her go. I didn't expect..."

The second brother that Chu Qianhuang mentioned is Chu Yunchen, the eldest son of the second house, and also Chu Qianling’s biological brother.

Shen's expression became more serious, and she asked again: "Where is the Second Prince? Is the Third Miss still in Jishitang?"

The old woman in green clothes hurriedly said, "I heard that the Second Prince was originally going to accompany the Third Miss to Jishitang, but because the miracle doctor was not there, he saw that it was getting late, so he went back to the palace and said that he would accompany the Third Miss to Jishitang next time."

"After His Highness left, the Third Miss suddenly got angry and had people smash up Jishidi Hall."

"The doctor at Jishitang said he would report the incident to the authorities and take the third girl to the Jingzhao government office..."

"The Second Madam would like to invite you to go to Jishitang."

The old lady in green clothes said it in a tactful way, but her meaning was actually very clear. The reason why Second Madam Liu asked her to come to Shen was actually because she was afraid that Jishitang would really bring this matter to the government office, and then Chu Qianling's reputation would be completely ruined. Liu hoped that Shen could use the name of the Marquis' Mansion to pressure Jishitang so that the matter could be settled peacefully.

Shen sneered and said to Nanny Chen, "Nanny Chen, go to the account office and get some money. Pay the clinic the price and double the amount."

"Yes, ma'am." Nanny Chen hurried to do it, and the old woman in green also withdrew and went back to report to Liu.

Shen frowned slightly, her face revealing undisguised displeasure. Thinking about everything that had happened in the past month, she felt that Chu Qianling was too troublesome.

In fact, Shen and the Madam Tai were both experienced people, and they had seen Chu Qianling's little thoughts about the Second Prince, but they just didn't point it out. Besides, the rumors of jealousy between the sisters in the Marquis' Mansion must not be spread, otherwise, will the girls in the Marquis' Mansion still get married in the future? !

If Chu Qianling had not been sent to the government, which would have affected the Marquis's Mansion, and then her children and Chu Qianchen, Shen would not have bothered to care about Chu Qianling. To put it bluntly, Liu had someone come to find her just to take advantage of this point.

Chu Yunmu’s matter has been settled. Chu Qianchen originally wanted to go back, but now, she simply decided not to go back.

Chu Yunmu was only five years old and was a heartless man. Apart from expressing his feelings about his third sister's bad temper, he put the matter behind him and even pulled Chu Qianchen to play cat's tangle with him.

Chu Yunmu has short fingers, but they are very dexterous. He is very good at both tossing a pot and playing cat's tangle.

The brother and sister played step by step from simple to complex, "fields", "noodles", "ox eyes", "twisted dough", "darts"... one pattern after another, until Chu Yunmu couldn't play anymore and started to cheat with Chu Qianchen.

Chu Qianchen gave him the green light this time, and his slender ten fingers flexibly turned the red rope into a goldfish pattern.

Awesome! Chu Yunmu was stunned and couldn't bear to blink. She tugged at Chu Qianchen's sleeve with her little hand, "Second sister, how did you turn it over?"

Chu Qianchen repeated it again with a smile on his lips.

"Teach me quickly!" Chu Yunmu's eyes lit up. He asked Chu Qianchen to teach him step by step. He thought to himself: When he learns it, he will definitely show off to his younger brothers and sisters next time.

Looking at the brother and sister who were having fun, Shen showed a faint smile on her face.

Chu Qianhuang was also looking at Chu Qianchen and Chu Yunmu. Her dark willow-leaf eyes were filled with a faint light, as deep as an ancient well.

Chu Yunmu tirelessly pestered Chu Qianchen to play several rounds. The more he lost, the more excited he became, and it was not uncommon for him to cheat. However, he gained a lot and learned several new tricks from Chu Qianchen. He felt proud that he would soon be the king among his peers.

When Chu Yunmu didn't know how many rounds he had lost, Nanny Chen finally came back. The sun had set outside and the sky was gradually getting darker.

"Madam, I have just returned from Jishidiang with the Second Madam. Everything has been done and the Third Young Miss has been brought back." Nanny Chen reported.

Shen only said "Oh", and Nanny Chen continued to explain in detail: "The third young lady broke a lot of medicinal herbs, so I paid Jishitang 500 taels of silver as compensation."

"The third girl was going to make a scene, but luckily the second lady persuaded her and finally brought her back."

Nanny Chen felt a headache when she recalled Chu Qianling's shouting at Jishitang, such as "they look down on others" and "deliberately make fun of Qiao". After all, even though the Second Madam was protective of her shortcomings, she knew her limits. She probably still wanted to ask for help from the miracle doctor and didn't want to offend him too much, so she endured the anger.

Chu Yunmu didn't know whether he had heard it or not. His nimble and short fingers used the red rope to make a "field" pattern, meaning, Chu Qianchen, play another round with me!

Chu Qianhuang patted his left shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't bother your second sister, I'll play with you." As she spoke, her slender fingers skillfully hooked the red rope.

Chu Yunmu then turned to play with Chu Qianhuang, thinking that it was a good opportunity to practice on his elder sister.

Chu Qianchen smiled without saying a word, just watched from the side and drank tea comfortably.

After a pause, Nanny Chen thought of something and added, "After returning home, the third young lady was going to go to the old lady's place, but was stopped by the second lady."

After all, today was the Taifu's birthday, and Chu Qianling was a person without manners, but Liu knew what she was doing and would not be stupid enough to offend the Taifu today. If she displeased the Taifu, a month of house arrest would be a light punishment for Chu Qianling.

Shen smiled knowingly, "It seems they are coming here."

As sisters-in-law for many years, Shen really understood Liu. After a cup of tea, Liu came with Chu Qianling.

Chu Qianling's face was still covered with a veil, but even the veil could not hide her complexion, which was as black as the bottom of a pot. That sinister aura was naturally released.

Chu Qianling had a lot to complain about, but when she saw Chu Qianchen was there, she didn't want to say anything, and she even felt humiliated as if she was being laughed at.

Mrs. Liu didn't know her daughter's little girl's thoughts, and she kept complaining: "Sister-in-law, you didn't see that Jishiditang relied on the fact that Prince Chen had been there, and they acted like a bully, and they didn't take the Marquis' Mansion seriously at all!"

Liu became more and more angry as she spoke, and she was so angry that her teeth itched. If the miracle doctor only saw patients at Jishidi, she would have made sure that Jishidi could not continue to operate in the capital.

Chu Qianling was rubbing her handkerchief and staring at Chu Qianchen with a sinister look.

Chu Qianchen didn't even look at Chu Qianling. He just watched Chu Yunmu carefully turn out the "goldfish" pattern, and then gave her a smug expression, meaning, am I awesome?

Awesome. Chu Qianchen curled the corners of his lips.

Chu Yunmu's eyes brightened even more and he looked complacent.

Chu Qianhuang calmly hooked the two pieces of red rope with her little finger, and then her slender fingers flexibly flipped the red ropes, and then she flipped the red ropes into another pattern.

Liu was still complaining, her voice becoming increasingly sharp: "Sister-in-law, Jishitang was at fault first, and now that we have paid the money, shouldn't Jishitang also show some appreciation?"

"Sister-in-law, our Lingjie has suffered such a great injustice, you must stand up for her! If Jishitang refuses to let that miracle doctor come, then it will not be able to operate in the capital!"

Liu held her chin high, looking as if it was a matter of course.

On this side, Liu's sharp voice almost blew the roof off, while on the other side, Chu Qianhuang, Chu Yunmu and Chu Qianchen were all silent, their eyes all fixed on the red rope.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Chu Yunmu was stumped. He looked at the red string between Chu Qianhuang's fingers in distress for a while, and finally played tricks again.

He leaned towards Chu Qianchen, quietly stretched out two fingers, tugged at Chu Qianchen's sleeve, and began to call for help.

Second sister, help me! Chu Yunmu blinked and looked at Chu Qianchen.

Chu Qianchen reluctantly put down the teacup he had just picked up.

Chu Qianhuang smiled, turned the ten fingers that were tangling the red rope in another direction, and faced Chu Qianchen with ease, obviously not caring about Chu Yunmu's request for help.

Chu Yunmu patted Chu Qianchen on the shoulder with an expression that said, "I'll leave it to you."

He turned around with great interest to watch Shen quarreling... no, scolding someone.

"Second sister-in-law is really arrogant!" Shen didn't give Liu any face at all and scolded with a stern face, "If someone didn't know this, they would think that our mansion is the kind of family that bullies others by taking advantage of their power!"

"Sister Ling, this is your fault. Regardless of how the people at Jishiditang treated you today, you are a girl who had your shop smashed over a disagreement. How can you be a girl from a marquis's mansion? Who did you learn this from?!"

As Shen spoke, she glanced at Liu nonchalantly, almost saying that Chu Qianling learned this style of taking action at every turn from Liu!

Liu was so angry that she almost fell down. There was no way she could bear it.

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean?!"

"Sister Ling is being bullied outside. As her aunt, it would be fine if you didn't support her, but are you going to help outsiders bully her?!"

"You are her biological aunt!"

As Liu spoke, all the new and old grudges came flooding back to her mind.

It would have been fine if Shen had helped Chu Qianchen in the past, after all, Chu Qianchen was the daughter of the eldest son's family. Even if she was born to a concubine, one had to look at the owner when beating the dog. Shen's protection of her was also the protection of the eldest son's family's reputation.

But this time, the one who bullied their sister Ling was an outsider, and it was just a mere clinic!

Shen's eardrums were hurt by Liu's sharp voice. She stroked her sleeves and said calmly, "Second brother's wife, Lingjie smashed the clinic and ruined the reputation of our mansion. If she doesn't change her ways and continues to affect the reputation of the mansion, I will report to the Imperial Concubine and separate the second house."

Separation?! Liu was dumbfounded. As the saying goes, as long as the parents are alive, the family should not be separated. The Madam is still alive, how dare Shen talk about separation?!

Liu almost said the words "you dare", but finally swallowed them hard and felt a sweetness in her throat.

Shen Shi is afraid that she really dares. Or rather, Concubine Chu dares!

Concubine Chu has always had a good reputation. She is most afraid of being caught by the Queen and affecting the reputation of the Second Prince. If Shen really tells the concubine, she will probably not care whether Chu Qianling has been wronged or not, and will only think that she is spoiled.

Well, given the Imperial Concubine's personality, she would not only persuade the Dowager Lady to split up the family, but even if her daughter's face was cured, she would definitely not be able to become the Second Prince's concubine.

Liu was frightened.

Chu Qianling was also frightened. She blinked, and her veiled eyes instantly turned red. She looked at Liu anxiously.

"Sister-in-law, who would talk about dividing the family all the time?" Liu said in a strong but weak tone, and waved her sleeves heavily, "Sister Ling, let's go!"

She pulled Chu Qianling away angrily.

Chu Qianchen had his back to the Liu mother and daughter, and was slowly and methodically using his fingers to pick up the red strings between Chu Qianhuang's fingers one by one. His nimble fingers fluttered like butterflies, and his slender jade fingers looked even whiter against the bright red strings, and his skin was as white as snow, which was particularly beautiful.

Chu Qianchen quickly came up with a new trick and hooked Chu Yunmu's soul back. He opened his eyes wide, afraid of missing any of her movements.

"Second sister, you are so awesome!" Chu Yunmu happily applauded Chu Qianchen, feeling that she really brought honor to him.

Chu Qianchen smiled slightly and glanced out the window inconspicuously.

The sun had almost set outside, and the sky was filled with rosy clouds. Amber hurriedly left the main courtyard, and Chu Qianchen curled his lips in satisfaction.

It's time to close the net.

Amber had already received Chu Qianchen's instructions and calculated the time, and arrived at Liu's yard before Liu's mother and daughter.

She went to find Qingyu and brought her a bottle of Shiquan ointment.
